“Sophie is super sweet, came a little early to meet my pug for the first visit, and he felt comfortable with her instantly! She’s super flexible and on time. I know my Benjamin is in good hands with her! Will continue to rebook in the future.”
“We had the absolute pleasure of having Tabitha look after our cherished PussPuss while we were away, and we cannot sing her praises enough! From the very beginning, Tabitha demonstrated an unparalleled dedication and love for our furry family member that truly set our minds at ease. What stood out to us was not just the routine care but the genuine affection and time Tabitha invested. She went above and beyond every single day, ensuring PussPuss was not only fed and clean but also thoroughly entertained. Whether it was through engaging playtime, thoughtful cuddles, or simply talking to PussPuss, it was clear she was committed to making our beloved feel loved and comfortable in our absence. Tabitha’s communication was exemplary. She provided us with frequent updates that were not only informative but also heartwarming. The photos and videos she sent us were a source of joy and reassurance, showing PussPuss happy and content under her care. Furthermore, the video conference she arranged was beyond what we expected; seeing PussPuss respond to Tabitha’s voice and care firsthand was incredibly touching and a testament to the bond they had formed. The cleanliness and tidiness of our home upon our return also spoke volumes of Tabitha’s conscientiousness. It was clear she treated our home with respect, allowing us to come back to a serene and orderly space, with a happy PussPuss waiting for us. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tabitha for not just meeting but far exceeding our expectations. Her love, dedication, and the extra steps she took to ensure both PussPuss and we were happy and informed were truly remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend Tabitha to any pet parent looking for someone who will treat their pet not just as a job but as a member of the family. Thank you, Tabitha, for everything. You have our deepest appreciation and utmost respect for the love and care you provided to PussPuss. We look forward to having you care for PussPuss again in the future!”
“Sierra was great with my two young dogs for their drop in visits! Very thorough, friendly, good with the pups, timely and communicative about the visits. Would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
“Misao is great! She’s taken care of my cat twice. She’s a great communicator and very sweet. Her attention to detail is top notch and I know my sweet boy is in good hands when I’m not there. :)”
About: Devoted owner of pitbull-boxer mix, Humane Society rescue for 13+ years until he passed last summer. Have always had dogs in my life. Heart too bruised to adopt again, but too big to not be in service to the best creatures on earth. Empty nester with an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm a younger, newly retired k-12 public educator that walks EVERY day. After losing our dog last summer, I would love to share my energy and heart with new-to-me dog friends. Incredibly dependable and committed. Clear communicator. We have a secure back yard, one level home in quiet cul-de-sac for short term stays. Love engaging and caring for all precious pups ❤️
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I got my first golden lab at age 6 and haven’t looked back, I am extremely active, and love taking care, playing with and making sure they get plenty of exercise. Recently my 14 year old black lab passed away, she had many surgeries/health issues towards the end and I’m very experienced with older dogs as well as younger. I respect all client wishes and it’s imperative to me that you know your animal is being taken care of with the same care you’d give them. I am currently working part time, so I am available everyday after 1 pm, weekdays and weeknights, and my schedule is extremely flexible. I also walk twice a day as apart of my own routine, so it’s very easy to incorporate pets into my schedule. I have a fairly good sized backyard with 6 feet high fences, a two story home with plenty of space to crate your dog if needed. I also live less than one block away from an elementary school with a massive fenced in field, with plenty of room for your pet to run around in a safe environment.
“He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty that’s for sure!! This is the second explosion my poor old lab has had on my laundry room carpet while at work, and Damon hasn’t even flinched at cleaning it up! You would never know anything happened! HE IS AND ANGEL FOE REAL!!”
“Katie is incredible with dogs!! My rescues have behavior issues that she knew exactly how to handle. She is very professional and looking forward to her taking care of my pups in the future!!”
“Sarah was so incredibly amazing! She was able to watch our Duke last minute and even went over and beyond by bringing our packages in! She left great report cards and photos and was so kind and communicative. We’ll be using her again!”
“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.”
“Cindy is absolutely amazing with my cat Louie. She goes above and beyond for his drop in visits. He is usually a touch-me-not for most people, but he seems to really enjoy Cindy's company. She spends the visits petting him and just "being there" with him. I believe it gives him great comfort while I am away from home. Thank you Cindy. You rock!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I worked at a doggy daycare and so i have skills in handling, feeding, paw and ear treatments, boarding and overnight care. I currently work part time which is in the early mornings, so I’ll have all day to give your pets the attention they deserve and love they need!! Depending on whether your yards fenced or not i’ll do as requested for their potty breaks. I give all my attention to animals when i’m with them, and I’d love to go on walks with your pup!
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.
“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!!! ✨”
“Megan was awesome! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We felt completely comfortable knowing our cat was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Megan!”
About: I have friends and family that have asked me to take their dogs on walks, stay at their house, and I have experience with dogs of all sizes.

About: Hello! My name is Kenzie and I am excited to be your pets friend!! I have experience with many different types of animals, as I’ve worked with neighbor and friends animals as well as at a petting zoo that over the last 14 years. Within that experience I have handled reptiles, rodents, small pigs, dogs and cats! There are obviously many animals I have yet to have a lot of experience with, but I am amazing at following well detailed instructions. I am happy and excited to get as many photos or check ins as makes each individual pet parent happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, my eldest cat has been on insulin shots twice a day for four years now. So I am familiar with handling animal’s for shots, and I’ve also had to administer pills as well. Thank you for your time and consideration! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with pet parents on days and times that work for them. My availability on the weekend may vary, but I am usually pretty open during the week. I do not plan to bring peoples animals into my home for the time being as I have special need animals of my own that would not fair well with it

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.

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.
