“Angel is reliable, professional and goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are taken care of while I am away. I appreciate the detailed rover cards and pics of my fur babies”
“Nicole was very professional and friendly, she did a drop in for my rottie pup and took him out to potty, trained, and played with him/cuddled him while we were out. She followed instructions clearly and gave my puppy careful attention (gets destructive when bored) and took care of his needs while we were gone. I would hire her again!”
About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Kate. I’m a mom of 2, and I have always had a strong love for animals. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, some of whom are rescues. Growing up, I had a medically fragile dog that I administered insulin to and because of this, animals with disabilities have a special place in my heart. I have experience caring for multiple pets — up to 10 cats at one time. I have cared for pets of all sorts of temperaments and sizes and feel confident that I can provide exceptional care for your pet. It’s extremely important to me that you feel you can not only trust me but know that I will follow your instructions/routine perfectly and treat your pet like they are my own. I am a stay-at-home mom to my 3-year-old. Our days consist of being at home and playing in our backyard when we’re not running the occasional errand. I have open availability morning, afternoon and evening Monday—Sunday. My pets are family, and they are treated just that way. They all love to play, whether it’s fetch in the backyard, puzzle boards stuffed with treats or running after toy mice. In the evenings, they love to cuddle on the couch together. Each of my pets have different needs. Once I understood their personalities and behaviors, I tailored my everyday routine.
“Brianna is very easy to work with, flexible and she accommodates reasonable requests. She clearly loves dogs, her and Peaches bonded quickly which was comforting. She's prompt, remembered all the details and requests while on the visit and sent 4 photos each time which was fun to see. Highly recommend @”
“Drew is wonderful with our Maggie. Followed directions to a T and the communication was A+. We’ve never had anyone come in and take care of our girl but Drew really put at us ease. Sent brilliant pictures and engaged with Maggie. I know next time we leave town Drew will definitely be the person we call. Highly recommend”
About: I have had pets since I was five. I have had little and big dogs, dogs with challenging behaviors, cats and farm animals. My pets have always been part of the family. I enjoy caring for our four legged family and look forward to helping you with yours! Pet sitting fits my routine because I have a flexible schedule with time to give. I enjoy walking rain or shine and find joy in spending time with animals. I make sure their needs are met and get the playtime and attention they deserve. It is a honor to be trusted with your pets care so safety, comfort and it’s happiness is my top priority. With a focus on keeping a clean environment and personalizing pet care for your pet.
About: In a quiet neighborhood in Spanaway you will find Tony’s “casa de pets.” This casa or house has a large fence in back yard for your pet to run, play, and do the doo that they do. We have flexible hours as well as we can pick up your pet for a small fee. If your’ pet is friendly with others there are several nearby parks within 10 minutes. We also have the ability to take them to several dog parks, one of them being the awesome Steilacoom dog park. We love to play, spend quality time, and snuggle with pets. In the past we have owned several dogs and several crested geckos. My work is seasonal which allows me to have some extra time on my hands. Both my partner and I love animals. We are at a point in our life we don’t want to have a pet full time but truly miss having them around. So here is where Rover will benefit all of us! We get to have pet play dates and snuggle from time to time while you get to enjoy time away without worry. My favorite dog is the Rhodesian Ridgeback. My partner loves manatees and alpacas. We don’t have the space for an alpaca and the manatee well that is just not going to happen unless we move to Florida near a river. If you have an alpaca farm we would love to visit! Safety is important to us. There are several animal hospitals within 10 minutes of our house. We have both been through the elderly dog years. We have also taken care of friends’ dogs that have health issues. We are able to give most medication. We have not given any injections but we can be shown how to with your pet if needed. FYI during the 4th of July we do get a lot of neighbors that shoot of fireworks so if your dog has issues with that we may not be able to help during that time period.
About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.
“Mollay did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our bunnies and our cat while we were away. From start to finish, she was a joy to work with and an excellent communicator. She sent frequent updates with thoughtful details about how everyone was doing, along with lots of pictures, which brought us so much comfort and peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear that she truly cared about our pets and took her responsibilities seriously. We felt completely confident knowing they were in such attentive, capable hands. I would highly recommend Mollay to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter, and we will absolutely be working with her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart? I treat every dog like family—lots of love, playtime, and personalized care. Your pup isn’t just watched—they’re truly cared for. Hope to meet you soon! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day, creating a calm, structured environment with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles. I plan my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring consistent feeding, bathroom breaks, and one-on-one attention. Whether it’s a morning stroll, midday check-in, or evening snuggles, your dog’s comfort and happiness are always a priority in my day. Your pet will enjoy a clean, calm, and secure home with plenty of space to play and relax. I provide a pet-friendly environment with no hazards, constant supervision, and cozy spots for rest. My home is smoke-free, fully fenced, and quiet—perfect for dogs of all ages. Safety gates, non-toxic products, and a peaceful atmosphere ensure your dog feels safe, loved, and stress-free at all times. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I provide a cozy crate/kennel for your pup to sleep in at night, just like a safe little den.
“Brooklyn was great! She dropped in multiple times a day to take care of my ducks and aging cat while I was away. She’s responsive, sweet, and left detailed report cards. I definitely plan to work with Brooklyn again in the future :)”

“Darian was wonderful! She was very responsive and took such great care of my animals!

You can tell she really loves all animals and was so good with all of my pets. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
We’ve been trusting Tia with our dogs since 2023, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. From day one, she’s treated them like her own, and our dogs make it very clear how they feel about her. The moment she walks through the door, their tails are going a mile a minute. That says everything. What Tia gives us is something truly hard to find: complete peace of mind. Knowing our dogs are safe, happy, and in loving hands means we can actually relax and enjoy our time away, something that wasn’t always easy before we found her. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your furry family members, look no further. Tia is the real deal, and we’re so grateful to have her.
Alyssa saved the day! We had accidentally left a gate closed in the house and our cats couldn't access the litterbox upstairs. She lives nearby us and was able to be to our house so quickly and also gave our kitties some loving ❤️ very trustworthy and will absolutely use her again!
My first rover experience was fantastic, so when I was unable to rebook that person, I thought no way am I going to have another fantastic experience. I was Wrong. Parkre and Levi were fabulous. Great at keeping in touch, asking questions etc. I would trust them with my cats anytime. It was such a great experience and I appreciate the care they provided.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spanaway. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
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.
