“This was my second time using Angel. My dogs now love him. He did an amazing job!! Regular updates with lots of photos and videos. He also keeps the place super clean which I really appreciate. My dogs just absolutely adore him and I’ve never any worries now when he minds them.”
“Kristine and Lauren were amazing with my babies. Communication was stellar and coming home the house was probably cleaner than I left it. I would use them again as the proof is in the pudding - cats and dog are very happy.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be more pleased with how it all worked out. Starting with how easy it was to schedule. Victoria was very easy to work with and communicated with me throughout the complete process from the meet and greet to locking the door on her way out in the end. She sent pictures ever day and I came how to a happy hound dog. I look forward to scheduling her again.”
“Drew really cares about animals. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog Oakley often times taking them to the park and paid close attention to details about my dog. Communication was top tier and she always updated me with pictures! If I ever need to book again I’m choosing drew!”
“Khaytlen did a great job with Warrior. When Warrior first came to her he was very fear aggressive. She did a great job desensitizing him to various environments including the mall. Also, he used to bark historically in the car when someone came close. Her balanced dog training with e- collar and prong collar really works. They are effective communication tools to use. I have never seen Warrior take to someone like that. The e- collar and prong collar teach the dog what you are trying to communicate.”
“Emily did an amazing job caring for my Phoebie girl! She kept me informed throughout her stay with regular updates, photos, and even pictures from their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind. Phoebie can be a little anxious and shy at times, but Emily was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with her. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about making Phoebie feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in such trustworthy hands. Emily went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pet. I will definitely be booking with Emily again! 🐾💖”
“Parkre and Levi are always the absolute best. Even when we booked a day shorter than intended, they were able to stay an extra night without any stress or worry. We never want to use any other pet sitters 🥰”
“Elizabeth was the perfect companion for my dog while I was away for the weekend. She kept me well updated, asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines, and left the house decidedly better than she found it at the end of her pet sitting stay. She went truly above and beyond, and I came home to a happy, relaxed dog!”
“Consistently a pleasure having her watch my Finn. I have no fear or worries on leaving him in Yvette’s care she almost makes me at ease with photo sending and text. Thank you”
“Stephanie is so nice to Monte and Rose. They both want all the attention, all the time, and she plays with them and makes sure they are happy! She sends a daily update and lots of photos, keeps the house looking great, and is very nice. I highly recommend her to others, and hope she’ll be able to watch the two pups again in the future.”
“Brooklyn has watched our dog Davy as well as our home twice now. She is very attentive to Davy’s needs. He requires daily medications and special care due to injury and she has been incredible at keeping up with all of that. She always sends us pictures to let us know how he is doing, and she leaves our house in great shape after she leaves. I would highly recommend Brooklyn as sitter!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
About: I am off work until August 26th and available for house sitting and daily care, after that I am still available but will be working for 6 hours a day. I have dogs and cats of my own and love all animals. I'm not afraid to give medications and have some vet tech training from awhile ago when I was a tech for 4 years. Let me know what you and your pets need and I'm there! I have summer off since I am a school librarian and don't go back to work until August 26th. After that my schedule will change but I'll add that on here later, as soon as I know! I am not able to have pets in my own home but am available to come house sit with yours or stop by anytime to spend time with them.
“Ryenne was excellent! She took wonderful care of our dog,Beau, and our home. Great communication and attention to detail. We will definitely ask her to stay with Beau in the future.”
“Hannah is great! My dog, Klaus, really liked her and I could tell she liked him too! She came on time and followed all the instructions I left for her. I would not hesitate to call on Hannah again to stay with Klaus!”
“Christina sent regular pictures and updates and provided great communication. She left our house neat and tidy. She was very friendly and I enjoyed meeting her and appreciate her to taking good care of our sweet Luna girl.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
I know we've left a million reviews for y'all, but I can't express enough how much stress you guys have helped alleviate with our pet sitting. We always know the animals get spoiled, are safe, and the house is taken care of. We especially appreciate the last minute requests with family things that you've been able to accommodate for us - we seriously hope you guys pet sit forever 🤣💜 Thank you as always!!!
Drew really cares about animals. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog Oakley often times taking them to the park and paid close attention to details about my dog. Communication was top tier and she always updated me with pictures! If I ever need to book again I’m choosing drew!
Christian did an excellent job with my fur babies! All 4 of them! Dogs were happy when I got home, not stressed. House was well kept, dishwasher started, looked like it did when I left! I was very pleased and would certainly recommend him and will definitely use him to house and dog sit Again!
Bre was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was reliable and a quick communicator. She stayed at our house and was respectful of the home as well. I highly recommend using her and will definitely use her for future trips! Thank you for taking great care of Booger, Maya, and Mariner.
We had a great experience with Jeri over the 5 days she cared for our dogs. She was friendly and reliable, and communicated well throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall, we felt our dogs were in good hands and would happily recommend her to others.
Lanii, was great!!! She was super communicative the whole time. Plenty of update pictures and even texted me when our anxious dog was having accidents in the house due to be nervous around new people. They both loved her instantly and were intimidated at all! I would highly recommend her as a sitter and we will definitely be using her services in the future!
Kaitlin is everything you would want in a pet sitter! Efficient communication, punctual and so very sweet to our animal crew! She sent pictures daily and was very detailed to ensure our large (and very medicated crew) was taken care of properly. We can't wait to have her back.
We had a last minute need for a sitter for 3 pups and Sarah really came through! Not only was she super responsive regarding availability, booking, and coming for a meet and greet the very next morning, but she continued the excellent communication and updates while I was gone. One of our three pups is such a nervous/shy girl but even by day two she was sleeping with Sarah at night and being a little love beggar ☺️ just goes to show how great Sarah is with animals. I know next time I need a sitter Sarah will be my first choice!

FAQs for House Sitting - Spanaway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Spanaway on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,283 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spanaway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Spanaway walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Spanaway maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spanaway. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
