About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I returned to Washington in 2013, my roommate, who had show dogs, taught me how to raise them for two years. I’m a dog enthusiast through and through, and life feels incomplete without a furry companion by my side. Currently, I’m unemployed and studying for my real estate license exam, so I have ample time to dedicate to my furry friends. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate any pet’s needs. When I take my furry family for walks, I ensure we both wear high-visibility gear so that everyone knows I’m carrying precious cargo. I’m also a vlogger, and I love sharing memorable moments with all my furry mates..

About: I am a phlebotomist and medical lab assistant currently looking for work. I recently moved to Washington and love it here. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I have one cat named Binx. I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. 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 am looking forward to meeting new friends. I am currently looking for work since I moved here and I am pretty open . I am available from the mornings until 3pm or 4pm depending on my schedule. If you have any questions please reach out. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I will make sure they are fed and have water, give them space when they need it, play with them, walk them, give them company, pet them, bath them if needed, etc. I understand each animal has their own unique personalities and require different needs. I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.

About: I have owned and cared for pet's since I was a little kid. I have trained all my dogs since they were puppies and love rewarding them when they've learned something new. Dogs and cats alike tend to love following me around. They seem to attach easily to me. Seeing them happy and truly smile is a deep joy of mine. My schedule is very flexible since I am home all day, every day of the week. My day's consist of kiddo drop-off's and pick ups. I have a fully fenced backyard, love taking walks around town, and have one extra large dog who absolutely loves when other dogs come to play.

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.

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.

About: I’ve grown up around animals. Not in my own home but other homes and I know what it’s like to have them around. I’ve been a pet sitter for family and friends throughout the years and have experience with it. I don’t have any pets but I understand know they’re schedule and what they need from food to needing to take a bathroom break outside. You meet their schedules that are set from their owners. It’s that simple. You make their experience as comfortable as possible. Make them feel comfortable, let them get to know the area. If it’s their home you let them do their normal. You can’t change up their schedule, especially if it’s their home. You are in their space and you don’t take that away from them.

About: I have loved animals my entire life and have extensive experience caring for pets. I grew up with my parents breeding Corgis, which gave me hands-on experience caring for puppies and being involved in the breeding process. I have also grown up with cats my entire life, so I am comfortable caring for and interacting with a variety of pets. In addition, I have cared for family pets and have house-sat for an older dog on and off over the years. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing them with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. My schedule is currently fairly flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m typically available throughout the day, especially on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays when I don’t work. On the days I do work, I teach a few group fitness classes in the morning or evening, but I’m available before or after my classes to care for your pets. I live in an apartment, so I’m happy to come to your home and provide whatever care your pets need, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to work around your pet’s routine.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!

My pets are very simple. Heathy cats and fish. But my little Izzie gets nervous if she feels abandoned, and then she eats too fast, and pukes...well. You get the idea. I have never, never seen her so happy after a long trip. Whatever James did was PURE MAGIC. He sent me pictures of my little girl curled up in his lap, or madly playing chase. Each time he sent a note about how he sensed she wanted something and then he gave it to her. He took the extra step to truly see my pet. I am so blessed to have found a sitter who really wants to learn how to care for those around him. I will definitely be using him again!

Mitchell was amazing! Very communicative and did everything we requested of him. Booked drop ins for two nights and two mornings. Our cat Miko loved the attention and received lovings when he allowed lol. Our two other cats were a lot more shy. Treven and I are very appreciative of Mitchell (and the kiddos 😉)!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Steilacoom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Steilacoom is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 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 2,733 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Steilacoom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Steilacoom. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
