“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”
“We are so happy we hired Sierra! Lucy (dog) and Puddles (cat) were well cared for. Puddles requires medication and Sierra followed his routine. Lucy is a skittish Chihuahua that barks and does not like strangers. Within two days she was letting Sierra pet her and greeted her with tail wagging and zoomies. Every day Lucy became more comfortable and allowed belly rubs. Sierra did an excellent job looking after them. We will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Megan is fantastic. Kind, calm, loving with my dog Forrest. Very responsive, on time, attentive. Sent updates and photos. I felt completely at ease being away from home. Highly recommend Megan.”
“Katie came to our rescue after another sitter canceled on us just hours before we needed to leave for our long vacation. She even made time to stop by our home during working hours before we left to make sure she understood the nuances of our home, as well as our cats needs and habits. (Added bonus - she has base access!) She was super patient with our shy boys during her visits, generously giving a little more of her time so they could warmup to her for some daily socialization. She reliably sent daily photo updates on which helped us stay connected to them while we were away. Her pet sitting services are easily 5-stars. Book now without hesitation.”
About: Hello! My name is Clarissa. I grew up on a 20 acre farm in Roy, which began my love of animals. I have one wonderful cat and a cattle dog husky mix. I work as a claims manager full time, but I am available after 4:30 pm and on weekends and holidays that my office is closed (ex: Christmas, 4th of July, New Years) I care for pets in the clients home mostly, as my yard is not fenced. I am however, able to watch small, dog and cat friendly creatures in my home as long as they would not require a fenced yard.
“Alicia as always was amazing and taking care of our two boys. I got a ton of pictures every day with updates so she’s a great communicator and they absolutely love her. Well one does, the other one is learning to after almost 2 months of injections from her lol! But even this time she got him to purr, so that’s amazing to me. I just found the thank you note and the plant that she left us which was so nice and so sweet after coming back from a trip. Thank you for all that you do we definitely appreciate and trust Alicia with our kitties.”
About: With over a decade of dedicated experience as a pet sitter, my passion for animals runs deep. I've spent the last 10 years providing dependable and loving care to countless dogs, cats, and other pets, treating each one with the same love and attention I gave my own. My long history in pet care has equipped me with the skills to handle everything from daily walks and feedings to administering medications and managing special needs, giving you complete peace of mind while you are away. I look forward to meeting you, Payton I work as a nanny 7-2 Monday-Thursday. I will not be out of the house for longer than those 8 hours for work before checking in on them. Caring for a pet in a clients home can often be easier than having them stay at my home. Most pets are most comfortable with areas that are familiar to them which is no issue at all to me. I’m flexible and don’t mind if I commute to work.
“Amber has been amazing with my little dogs Cora and Ruger! Ruger can be loud and Cora is shy and Amber is so good with them. They are happy every day when I get home. Amber is dependable and great with communication. I'm grateful that we have found her and hope she keeps coming for drop in visits!”
About: Hi! I’m Paula, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping care for animals on my family’s farm in Colombia and later gained experience working in a veterinary clinic, which taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and provide attentive care for pets with different needs and personalities. Today, I share my life with dogs of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion to stick to their routine, I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I have experience with: • Puppies and high-energy dogs • Senior pets • Large breed dogs • Administering medications • Multi-pet households • Shy or anxious animals When I’m caring for your pet, communication is a priority. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how they’re doing. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for pets throughout the day. While I have a few work responsibilities that only require a couple of hours here and there, they don’t interfere with my ability to prioritize pet care. Additionally, while I do have dogs of my own, they are a shared responsibility within my household, meaning their care does not take away from my ability to fully focus on the pets I’m sitting. This flexibility allows me to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special care needs without interruptions. Whether it’s an overnight stay, multiple visits a day, or drop-in check-ins, I ensure that pets stay on their normal routine and receive the attention they need while their owners are away. My priority is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I provide pet sitting exclusively in my client’s home, allowing pets to remain in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and maintain their routine. When caring for pets, I follow their specific schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other special needs they may have. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day, adjusting my care to match their personality—whether they need extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or space to relax. Additionally, I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring a tidy environment while they’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are well cared for.
“Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.”
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.
“Brooklyn took wonderful care of my cat. She has such a warm and assuring presence that was the perfect fir for my shy gal. Everything was in order when I arrived back home from my trip, and her daily updates assured me my pet was safe and well cared for. Thank you for your kindness!”
“Bailey was great with my grumpy old big dog. Most people are scared of him, but she handled him like a pro and kept him calm the whole time. You can tell she really knows dogs and isn’t easily intimidated. I was super impressed and would definitely book her again.”

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.
Kennedy is incredible! I was hesitant to hire a dog walker because I worried my dog wouldn’t connect with them or they wouldn’t be able to handle her properly. However, Kennedy immediately won over my 2-year-old vizsla, who can be a bit nervous in new situations and around new people. From the start, Kennedy also put me at ease with her calm, empathetic, and highly communicative approach. Her deep knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive, and she is incredibly in tune with my dog’s specific needs. She has effortlessly handled situations and behaviors that I often find challenging, doing so with confidence, skill, and zero judgment. I feel so lucky to have found Kennedy and only wish I had sooner. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were her own, Kennedy is the one!

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 Steilacoom 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Steilacoom choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Steilacoom with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
