“Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!”
“10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.”
“Elizabeth was so great and easy to work with! Her Rover cards were the most detailed I’ve ever received, and she really made sure to spend time with our kitty to give her sime playtime and snuggles. I would definitely recommend hiring her, and would love the opportunity to hire her again another time!”
“Alyssa is super sweet and friendly. She was on time, followed instructions I left, sent a video and pictures of her time with George, and left a detailed note on her visit. I would and did use her again!”
“Very diligently took notes during the initial home walkthrough, very communicative during each of her visits with the kitties. Overall, a stellar pet-sitting experience and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Theo was so amazing with my pup and made sure she got lots of attention! Very amazing and good understanding of dog’s needs and behavior, highly recommend Theo!”
“Holly was outstanding! We have two cats and three birds that needed care while we were out of town, and we are always concerned about people who care for the birds - they tend to nip at people they don’t like, which is pretty much everyone. Holly spent quite a bit of time with everyone at the meet and greet, and all of the critters liked her immediately - from our mercurial birds to our extremely shy cat to our extremely opinionated cat. She was extremely accommodating and flexible, and I can say without a doubt that this is the best care that everyone has had while we were out of town - she spent a lot of quality time interacting and playing with everyone, and they were all in great moods when we came back home. I cannot recommend Holly enough— she is most definitely an animal lover and it shows.”
“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!”
“Quinn was so sweet and fantastic with our ultra shy kitties! Normally our cats hide from all visitors, but she was able to coax them out from hiding when she came over.”
“Alyssa was very communicative and she sent cute pics of my dogs when she did a drop in. My apologies for not explaining how to lock the door better I spaced on that and saw your messsage when it was too late 😟 would book again for sure!”
“Have worked with Laura before and she's so wonderful. Communicative about the cats (who are shy but come up to her), took great photos, told me and helped me when ants popped up and even watered my plants. Couldn't recommend more.”
“Abbie did an amazing job watching my little pupper :) She had EXCELLENT and prompt communication and gave detailed reports every day. She was always on time and ver reliable and trustworthy. I felt at ease knowing my maltipoo Leo was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Had a great experience with Maria. She is very trustworthy, sweet and truly cares for the pets! She send photo updates every single time and updated us of any abnormalities.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tacoma
Marina is an incredibly conscientious pet sitter who watered our plants and sent us pictures of them in addition to caring for our cat. She spent lots of time with our cat and even offered to come by a second time in one day when our cat seemed stressed. She’s the best!
Adria is awesome! She is super communicative, organized, and friendly, and a huge cat lover. Our cat ChiChi is very skittish, especially around new people, but he was playing with Adria by day 2. Adria was extremely reliable and we came to a happy well-fed cat!
Kayleigh did an amazing job of taking care of my Vivi while I was out of town. She spent so much time with her and made sure she had food, drink and a clean litter box with each visit. I recommend her for new cat mamas who are going out of town and leaving their cats alone for the first time! She worked hard to get Vivi to warm up, and I appreciate her so much!
Susie has checked in on my kitties and provided them excellent care a few times now-my super anxious one even comes out of hiding when she is dropping in. She is always the first person I ask and it puts my mind at ease to know she is going to be with them! I highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and even stopped by to remove a possibly dangerous item the cats could have gotten into if they got bored enough, outside of the window I booked her because I was worried the cats could get into something they shouldn't have. All around, she provides 5 star service and really loves cats. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tacoma on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,845 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tacoma. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tacoma. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
