“Super communication and friendly! My older dog is a little grumpy with strangers sometimes but he LOVES her and looks forward to her visits when he hears the car pull in! Definitely responsible, trustworthy and has helped us out with last minute plans and cancelations.”
“For anyone anxious, hesitant, skeptical about using Rover, like I was, please connect with Ms Katelyn! My fur babe has had the pleasure of meeting Kate & her little one three times this wk & by the way he behaves when I get home, I can tell he’s had such a great time with them! Makes my momma heart so grateful Kates using her gifts on this platform. This first experience w/ a dog hasn’t been the easiest so to have someone nearby, I haven’t even met, love on my Willie, send updates, follow ups, etc has been a blessing to us!

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.
“Bre rooked really good care of our kitties. Even though it was a last minute request, she accommodated setting up a last minute meet n greet and looking after my kitties. She provided several updates, pictures and loved on them while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I took care of my mother’s dog while she was away at work. I now live with 3 dogs and while my roommates are busy with work, I make sure their pets’ needs are met as I have a flexible schedule I have a part-time janitorial job at multiple mental health facilities. I have a great amount of time on my hands in between morning and evening shifts. It’s perfect timing for a check-in or walk :) I tend to my roommates pets while they are at work because I’m usually home before them. I have a cat and take litter box clean up and odors *very* seriously.
About: Hello, I just moved here from Minnesota. I used to pet sit on Rover while I lived there. I’ve previously worked as a Community Service Officer so I have experience working with animals, dogs, cats etc. Please ask me how my CSO experience is relevant to taking care of animals! My prices are low since I am just starting out here in a new state. Let me know if you have any questions for me, thank you. (Photos in profile are previous dogs I’ve worked with.) I currently am working full time in the Army but I am usually/always free in the evenings, as well as weekends and holidays. I will be completing my military service in less than one month which gives me more flexibility. Let me know if you have any questions about scheduling! I cared for pets in my home, and in clients home by letting them outside to run around and walk/play in the yard. I always adapt to whoever’s home I go to in order to carefully care for their pups.
“Cindy was very professional and patient with my 2 rescue cats that have some weird quirks. She gave my one kitty arthritis medication and took the time for them to warm up to her. She sent pictures and was very communicative!”
“Darian was wonderful! She was very responsive and took such great care of my animals! She communicated very well throughout the whole process and provided me with plenty of pictures and updates each time she did a drop in visit with my dogs. 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!”

They become the center of my attention when I' m around them! I ask that you trust me when they are under my care and I will reassure you that I will keep you informed of any changes I notice when they are under my care.

About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.
“Alexis is always so amazing with Molly! i had a very last minute job to get too and she was willing to come and take care of her and even helped around the house🩷 we will be continuing to book with her! molly ADORES her and molly can be a shy dog and cautious with people but with Alexis she bonded with her quick!”
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”

Michael has been an absolute saint. The fur babies love him and trust him. My one, Bean, is a very shy and timid cat. She does not like people but within a couple of weeks of Michael visiting she soon trusted him then gives him snuggles and kisses. As soon as I met Michael I knew he could be trusted with my babies. There is a safe and calm energy with him which is why I believe my cats trusted him so fast. I will forever recommend Michael to anyone in the area.
Bre rooked really good care of our kitties. Even though it was a last minute request, she accommodated setting up a last minute meet n greet and looking after my kitties. She provided several updates, pictures and loved on them while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to any pet owners looking for a pet sitter.
Our cat loved Tobi immediately and he usually runs away from new people. Tobi spent quality time with our cat Sansa and took the time to feed, brush and take care of all his needs. We have never had strangers take care of our beloved pets before and we were weary at first but after the great care Tobi provided we are sold on Rover and would definitely recommend Rover and Tobi for your pets.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Spanaway is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,852 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Spanaway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
