About: As a young adult, I've had many opportunities to care for the pets of friends and family, and I'm always happy to help. I've looked after a variety of breeds and personalities, from German Shepherds and Dachshunds to Maine Coons. Every pet deserves attentive care, love, and patience. As the proud dog mom of two Corgis, I'm experienced with energetic, intelligent, and sometimes sassy personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate recurring visits as well as one-time bookings. I'm happy to work with pet owners to create a routine that best fits their pet's needs and provides consistent, reliable care. For recurring bookings, I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can become comfortable with me and feel safe in your home. For one-time visits, I simply ask that we discuss your pet's routine, greeting preferences, and any special instructions in advance so I can provide the best possible care. Whether it's feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or plenty of affection, I'll make sure your pet feels cared for while you're away.
About: Throughout my life I've had 4 dogs. Currently I have two, with one being a 2-year-old pup I've been training ever since I adopted her and one that's pretty old and requires some special care. I used to work as a dog groomer for a business called Kendra's Grooming and I would watch her dogs when she went away with her family for vacation. For Kendra's Grooming I would bathe, dry, and hold dogs whenever needed. All of my classes are online currently for the summer and I'm open whatever day of the weekdays and Saturdays along with whatever time or for however long. So, I'm able to work whatever time is needed. I would be able to keep a constant eye on your pup, take them on however many walks you would want, and would be able to care for them in whatever way is needed. I've worked with animals with all sorts of personalities and in varying stages of health, so I can work with any form of animal, and I can accommodate for any of your pet's unique needs.
“I was away from my kitties for three weeks and the only reason I wasn't afraid everyday was because of Tatiana! They've never liked anyone else, but very quickly she and them had bonded and I was getting oodles of pictures of them happily cuddling away. She stayed in full contact with me and I could feel how much she cared about them from the pictures and messages. Will be re-booking next time!”
About: I am a huge animal lover! I own a cat and dog of my own and have been responsible to take care of my family’s pets since I was young. I have done pet sitting since I was 14. I currently am enrolled in school for most mornings and have a part time job. I still am available to play and spend time with your animals from noon to late evenings from Sunday-Saturday! I make sure doors are closed and environments are safe to play and have an animal in. My top priority is the animals safety at all times.
“James is a fantastic sitter - he even gave pills and other medicines to one of our cats. We HIGHLY recommend him , and will have him back again in the future. James is one of the nicest people ever , and our cats love him. A+++++++”
“Alexa and Connor were so sweet to my kitties. They gave them all of the snuggles and playtime as if my cats were their own. Absolutely will be using them again!”
“Clarissa was amazing! I needed a cat sitter last minute, and she was there for me right away. She was super responsive and even made time to meet with me the same day I booked. She was incredibly sweet with my cats and followed all of my instructions perfectly. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I definitely know who I’ll be calling next time I need cat care!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small farm, so caring for animals has been part of my life from an early age. We raised pigs, I grew up with two dogs, and I also spent plenty of time around cattle, sheep, and pastured horses. I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with your pets. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to give your furry family members plenty of attention, affection, walks, and playtime. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and kindness I’d want someone to give my own. I currently work full-time from 5am to 1pm. I chair an AA meeting on Monday evenings and attend others when I'm available to do so. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my first priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect their normal routines, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel secure while you’re away. I also understand that trusting someone with your pet often means trusting them in your home, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. You can expect me to be dependable, respectful, and communicative, with updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I’m so glad we found Katelyn to help care for our senior kitty while out of town. She is very responsive and I appreciate the updates (with photos & videos) after each visit. Katelyn was also incredibly helpful bringing in mail and packages (both big and small)! Will definitely book her again.”
“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve taken care of many different breeds of dogs. I have been trusted to take care of, walk, feed and play with friends and families dogs and cats In both my own home and theirs. Both of my dogs have passed away now. My boy was 14.5 years old when he passed in June 2026. My girl passed in April 2024. Being able to care for other animals while not fully ready to have my own fur baby again will help me with the loneliness of not having my baby here any longer. I am available for all care levels from drop in to house sitting. I am currently unemployed, so i currently have open availability to walk and care for others pets. I am available any day of the week, and look forward to connecting with you and your beloved fur babies. I have a nice size yard that is fully fenced allowing dogs to be able to run and play freely. I do have another dog in the home who is friendly with other dogs, she is an Australian Shepherd. I am able to crate either dog at anytime if necessary. I am a big cuddle lover, if you prefer your animals not to be on the couch, please let me know so I don’t have them on the furniture.
“Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Steilacoom
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 😉)!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Steilacoom on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 2,753 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
