“Briaunna went above and beyond after I'd made an error with one of my most recent bookings. She was so responsive and went the extra mile to make sure my cat was taken care of even when that meant a last minute late night visit! I was super grateful for her!”
“Tobi was able to accommodate my drop in sitting needs on very short notice, and she did an excellent job. One of my dogs is a bit slow with developing comfort with strangers, so it was nice to get progress reports and photos following each visit! Additionally, there was a maintenance issue with my house which needed immediate attention and Tobi quickly notified me so that I could arrange for someone to come and take care of it. I recommend Tobi and will plan to use her services again!”
“Kristelle was super awesome and took good care of our 3 cats while we’re away for a week! She’s easy to provide instructions with considering we’re her new clients in such a short notice. Will definitely ask her again to look after our furbabies next time!”
“Brooklyn is awesome! She is consistent, sweet with my dog, quick to respond and so trust worthy! She will be requested anytime help with our doggo is needed!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
“We love Kyley! They are reliable and consistent, and I love all of the pictures and notes. I look forward to it every time! Sammy loves her visits and getting some quality play time and a break in the middle of the day. I am so grateful to have someone like Kyley to trust with my best friend.”
About: My experience with dog covers just about all fields there are. I spent 10+ years showing herding breeds in showmanship and obedience, often at the state level. This included all the required grooming and handling skills that comes with performing at a pro level. I also trained lessons at 4-H clubs once a week for 5 years. I helped teach kids how to teach their dogs and during that time I worked with dogs big and small. Fear aggressive and wild lab puppies. I continued my training at a local boarding facility where Ive been exposed to even more unique dogs. This facility specialized in dogs that needed special care or more technical help than regular boarding places could provide. Food aggressive malinois, elderly pitbulls that have specific medical needs and anxious poodles are all just a regular Tuesday for me. I'm always looking for a new experiences and a challenge! My goal is flexibility! Any day of the week, morning and night, I'm available. My work day starts late enough in the day for most if not all morning activities and I'm off perfectly on time for afternoon walkies. I've house sat for dozens of times. In my 10+ years of connection with 4-H, I've watched many members pets over the years. This included more unique animals like reptiles and birds all the way to a guinea pig barn. My goal is to keep everything as in routine as possible. Pets are already anxious when their parents leave so doing everything just like you do helps minimize any added stress. No such thing as too much information!
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my cats. They warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of them while I was away. The pictures she took during her visits were incredible. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have been a professional dog groomer for over 12 years, working with all breeds and ages of dogs. I have had pet dogs and cats of my own for as long as I can remember. Dogs are my passion and I'd love to continue working with them for as long as I can. I also enjoy walking and hiking, and taking four legged friends with me would make it even better. I am currently taking a break from professional dog grooming but miss interacting with numerous dogs in my day-to-day life. Currently, I am available any day from 10am-7pm. I am currently living in an apartment that has two dog parks and a mile long trail on site. One of my dogs is extremely friendly and playful, while the other is older and prefers to nap all day.
“Jasmin has been a godsend taking care of my pup! She has provided the best care that I have not received anywhere else. She updated me constantly with the best pictures and made sure I knew my pup was doing well! Jasmin also had the sweetest dog named Bentley, I was extremely happy to hear that my pup and her dog really hit it off and played constantly! I am so happy I finally found someone that I trust to take exceptional care of my dog and will definitely be booking her expert services in the future!!”
About: I grew up with an AKC dog breeder as a parent and helped with raising and training and cleaning everything, they are adorable but can be messy and I grew up having the patience for them. I grew up with cats as well and they are so cuddly and attention loving, which are just free cuddles for me. I’d love to get paid to spend time and take care of them all. I work part-time as a server, which gives me the flexibility to care for your babies. I'd love to spend that time caring for your beloved fur babies! Whether it's dog or cat and taking them to parks, pet sitting, or giving them some extra attention and cuddles while you're away, I'm here to help. I’m reliable, caring, and passionate about animals. Let me know how I can make your pets feel loved and cared for while you’re busy or away I have a cat and a dog to keep them company, if they aren’t great with other animals we can figure something out. I own crates or kennels and I have cat and dog treats and I have plenty of food and water bowls for your babies. I’d love to see them all be happy and live life likes it’s an animal vacation home and I’m there nanny. If I’m watching them in your home or their safe place, then I will make sure they aren’t scared of me being there and love on them and take them out on walks or give plenty of cuddles, I do always bring treats if they like them or there isn’t allergies, if they make messes I will absolutely clean so it’s like it never happened, I want you to trust that they are in good hands and come home not worrying about a thing.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
I was looking for someone to drop in and take care of my pup when his normal day-to-day dog walker was going to be out of town. I was very fortunate to find Katelyn. During the initial meet and greet, my dog Stone was very excited to meet Katelyn. He’s a miniature Bull terrier so he has a lot of energy and doesn’t realize his own strength. She handled him without any issues and gave him lots of “loves”. He can definitely be a handful even on walks given how strong he is, but my neighbors said that Katelyn was great with him, kept him safe, and didn’t let him get away from her lol. She sent me tons of pictures from the backyard where they were all playing together. You can definitely tell she loves animals! I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their furry friends. Stone and I will continue to use her in the future.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Spanaway is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 7,826 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 93% can help with daily exercise

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
