“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.
“Jen has been amazing when caring for my doggies. Jen takes very good care of the girls. She is very good at communicating and flexible if drop-in times need to change. I definitely recommend.”
“Megan rocks ! She was super cool when she came over to check out the house and the animals. She sent me photos and updates, I will absolutely use her again!!! ✨”
“Sierra once again kept our kitty safe, well fed and happy for us. Always reliable and excellent with our cat. Continuous pictures and cat updates the entire time. Thanks so much!”
“Alicia was absolutely wonderful!!! I have never used a service like this before, and she made us feel so comfortable throughout everything. She even got to us on one of the worst weather days I have ever heard of! Our cat was well taken care of, with photos and thorough visit comments. We would hire Alicia again in a heart beat!!”
“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!”
“Katelyn did a fantastic job doing daily drop in visits with my cat Snap. She clearly spent lots of quality playing with Snap. I can see from the pictures that Katelyn bonded with Snap and gave her lots of love and attention. I will definitely book with Katelyn in the future.”
“Haley is a very professional and caring provider. She was extremely thoughtful caring for my cats during the hot days. She went out of her way to place cool treats and made sure they were not dehydrated. That’s a level of care I find highly valuable. Will schedule Haley again.”
About: I have had many dogs and taken of care many. All sizes and types. I absolutely love animals and take great care of them. I can follow any instructions you may have. They will be loved as if they were my own. We will have plenty activities to do and if they're not to active of a dog then they're more than welcome to just sit and watch tv with me! Dogs aren't just pets, they're family. For dog walking/house sitting I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time and let them explore (supervised) and play! We have an acre of backyard(fenced) for them to run and play! I only work nights and my husband stays home with our 2 year old so someone is always home to give the dogs attention! In the morning after breakfast we usually play in the back yard for a while, and then my dogs like to relax inside after before I go to work. Then they usually wander outside with my husband and two year old walking the yard and playing ball. I have a fenced yard, and very friendly dogs with tons of energy to play! In my clients home I’m very respectful and clean. I’ll always treat your pups as if they’re my own.
“I booked Deb for a few drop in visits to take care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She was great! My cats loved her, and she kept me updated with pictures and videos during her visits.”
“Becky has been so wonderful with my new puppy. Her communication is fantastic as well as the photos she sends of her! Poppy always loves her visits. It has made this transition of bringing a new puppy home so much less stressful!”
“Sarah is a wonderful sitter! Booked her for two drop-ins with walks and my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is a little older and requires medication and she was very gentle getting her to take it. She’s very communicative throughout. Absolutely recommend Sarah!”
“Did an awesome job taking care of our cat while we were out of town for two weeks. Great attention to detail and provided daily updates. Would definitely use Jordan again in the future.”
“Arianna was great! She dropped in on a consistent and reliable schedule (even through the holidays) and spent more than her required time with our cats. She made sure both pets got plenty of attention. We got up to date photos and comments about every visit. Definitely will rebook!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Steilacoom
Bobbi took wonderful care of Ranger while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From our very first meet and greet, we knew Ranger would be in good hands. She stopped by twice a day, made sure Ranger had plenty of love, snuggles, and zoomie time, and gave us detailed updates after every visit. Those updates gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation, knowing Ranger was happy and well cared for. We're incredibly grateful for the care and attention Bobbi gave our girl and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Bobbi!
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 .
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 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.
