“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa! She was helpful and thorough in the process of orienting her to cat-sit. While we were gone, she sent adorable pictures and videos and provided delightful descriptions of each visit with our cat. My cat can be a bit fractious, and Alyssa definitely understands cat behaviors and how to approach sensitive cats as well as giving meds. 1000% recommend her to anyone with cats or other pets!”
About: With 17 years of hands-on pet care experience, my top priority is creating a safe, loving, and comfortable home-away-from-home for your dog. Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for dogs is something I do with joy, patience, and genuine heart. As a teacher, nurturing is in my nature. I bring that same dedication to supporting my students into caring for every pet that steps into my home; ensuring your dog feels secure, understood, and truly cared for during their stay. **Thanksgiving Break: November 25th - 29th New Year’s Break: Dec. 30th - Jan. 3rd I’ll be home and able to offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours.** **Boarding** I teach full-time Monday–Friday, so I can offer potty breaks every 7hrs during the week. Afternoons and weekends, I offer potty breaks every 0-2hrs, dog walks, playtime in the backyard, and extra bonding time. Plus, newly added A/C to keep the fur babies cool on the warmer days, cameras to check on them when I’m away, and collars with air tags for their location at all times. **Doggy Daycare** I offer doggy daycare 4pm-12am Monday through Friday and ALL day on Saturday and Sunday. I will be home during this time and can offer potty breaks every 0-2 hours. My home is designed to make dogs feel relaxed and welcome. I keep routines predictable and peaceful, giving your pup the comfort of stability while you’re away. I have experience with dogs requiring special/strict diets and oral medication.
“Christina came to my rescue last minute in a tough situation and has become our weekly walker. I am so incredibly grateful for the consistent help, flexibility, and experience with reactive dogs. Highly recommend!!!”
“We have a variety of pets, and she took care of all them so greatly. When we came back home, it was as if we were never gone! All of our pets were happy and their usual self! Will definitely contact Abbie again for future pet care.”
“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!”
“Carrie did an incredible job taking care of my cats while I was out of town!! They were so relaxed when I got home! I know it’s because they were spoiled! I would absolutely recommend Carrie to any pet lover on Rover! She’s great, my cats loved her!”
“Holly was absolutely amazing. She took care of our three cats with such conscientiousness and love which was very evident given their behavior in the pictures she sent us. Two of our boys have health issues and need special food/medication and she handled that very adeptly. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we go somewhere. Thanks Holly!”
“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!!! ✨”
“Quinn was great to communicate with and made the whole process really smooth even when my request was last minute. She gave me updates and took great care of Rocky!”
“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!”
“Allycen was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my cat, Nova, while I was away for a week. She sent me detailed updates and lots of pictures every single day, letting me know how Nova was doing and if anything came up. She followed all of my instructions perfectly — from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and even administering Nova’s asthma medication with a spacer (which can be very daunting, but she handled it so easily and with a positive attitude). Allycen spent plenty of time with Nova at each visit, and even helped by bringing in packages that arrived while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Nova was so well cared for. I’m extremely grateful for Allycen’s professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness. Definitely 5 out of 5 stars — I would 100% book with her again next time I travel!”
“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our cats! She was flexible, communicated well, and took great care of our little kitties. Both cats have such different personalities and Jenna was able to meet their needs so well. We came home to happy and calm cats. Thank you Jenna!”

Holly is heaven sent! I felt so comfortable leaving my two babies in her care for over 2 weeks. She played with them during every visit and made sure they were loved on and got their mental stimulation going. She takes so many amazing pictures too, action shots and portraits and its just the best to see those while being away from them. Anything I asked of her, she was happy to do. And most importantly, my kitties loved her and trusted her. If I ever need them looked after again, I will make sure to reach out to Holly first.
Brittany is awesome, and we will absolutely rebook! She took excellent care of our pack - two large dogs (one very senior and with some senior pup health challenges) and loved on our shy kitties. She was incredibly responsive via messaging. We had a bit of a bonkers schedule and needed to make a few changes to our booking, and she was kind and communicative about her capacity and flexible throughout! We so appreciated it - she was also able to pivot and work with a sudden new arrival foster pup landing in our home and her experience and clarity about managing multiple dog households during pack integration was top-notch and left us feeling so confident and sure our pack would be in good hands, and our foster would have a great and safe experience. Brittany is a great sitter, and having her as part of our pack care team gave me such peace of mind!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tacoma on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,897 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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
