“I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog rather than a sick and clingy dog when left at a kennel. I received pics every day so I knew he was doing great. A great relief to me when I have to travel.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

I’ve taken them on walks, given them baths, helped with their training, play with them, clean up their litter boxes, brush them, given them medicine, and even gone to the park. I feel like I am the best choice because I respect and love animals. I always make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I do accept both cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against any breed or size. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will care for for each animal as if they are my own.

I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and unique needs, so I take the time to help them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and committed to following your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide the same loving care and attention I would want for my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I work part time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. My partner and I work opposite schedules, so there is typically someone home with your pet throughout the day. We work together to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My home sits on half an acre with a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run, play, and explore. Pets are welcome throughout my large, pet-friendly home so they can feel comfortable and relaxed while staying with us. We live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with walking areas and a dog park nearby. For the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I keep boarding limited and carefully select the animals I welcome into my home. I focus on providing personalized attention and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment rather than boarding large numbers of pets at once.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Spanaway stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Spanaway choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Spanaway with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
