“Thank you SO MUCH!!! Laura was so friendly and accepting of our odd instructions, the photos were lovely and so appreciated!!! We will 100% be booking again for any future trips!!!”
“Thanks so much for taking care of Buffalo and Tito. It is so helpful to get the photos and updates throughout the week knowing they were in good hands. Brianna also is very knowledgeable about animals and loves them, which is also very helpful. She helped us trim our bunny’s nails the last day of her service and was able to show me how since we hadn’t done that since we adopted him.”
“Alyssa was everything I wanted and needed AND MORE! Wonderful communication, such a sweet inviting personality for my fur baby and very accommodating which made for a lovely, stress-free experience. 100/10 would recommend!”
“Oneeda was a huge help to us in the middle of a chaotic move. Patient, very communicative, and gracious. Would love her help again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with, and cared for all kinds of dogs and cats. I have a sweet dog, Josie who is 7 years old. She loves other dogs, and will enjoy running around the fenced back yard and going on walks with your furbaby at Wapato Lake Park. I also have 2 cats that are used to dogs. At night you can catch us all cozy by the fireplace. You can count on me to love your dog as my own, during their stay! 🥰 I currently work from home, so I am available all day and night to ensure that your furbaby is walked, let out, played with and fed. There will also be plenty of time for pets and snuggles! I have a fenced backyard and large home allowing space for everyone. My friendly dog Josie, will keep your furbaby company while I do some work in my office. I have extra space if your dog needs to be crated away from noises and my other animals. I currently work from home full time, making me available to stop by whenever you may need to care for your furbaby! I like to take daily walks and would be happy to walk your dog too. I have a fenced backyard with two friendly dogs and 2 shy but friendly cats that would stay upstairs while your furbaby has a visit to my home!
“Brooke is such a wonderful person and blessing to us. Brutus and I are so glad we found her. She takes great care of my best friend and it shows. I am hesitant to write this review, I’m not sure we can share her :) She’s easy to chat with, punctual and even gives my my guy his snackies before going out the door. We appreciate her and think she’s the best.”
“Katey was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, so much so that I'm not sure Starfall wanted to come home. :) She updated me with photos and videos, and was very attentive to Starfall's needs. She's very friendly and easy to work with. I plan on having Starfall stay with her in the future!”
“Sarah was an incredible sitter who messaged me every day with updates and pictures of my two little ones. She kept my home tidy and always let me know what was going on. She’s a must-hire. ✨”
“Bailiegh did a wonderful job caring for our cats! We appreciated all of the prompt communication, following instructions, cleaning the cat things, and putting extra effort into playing with them even when they weren’t overly interested. Will absolutely book again if we are able to. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for others. I now have two cats at home and enjoy looking after pets for my friends! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to check in on pets throughout the day and evening. I am available during the week as well as the weekends. I prioritize safety, communication, and punctuality. I will always be respectful of your space and ready to respond. My goal is to give your pets the care and attention that I would give my own!
“Angel gives timely responses and has great communication. He always gives a detailed review of how the visit went and remarks on each task completed. I feel safe knowing my kitties are being watched by him. Will definitely book with him in the future!”
“Jessica took excellent care of my kitties! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best care for their pets! She messaged me everyday, sent pics and video, and followed all of my instructions. I highly recommend her, and plan on using her again if she's available for my next trip!”
About: Hi, I’m Cori! I grew up with dogs and have loved being around them my whole life. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside a positive reinforcement dog trainer, gaining valuable hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and behaviors. This helped me develop a strong understanding of how to support both dogs and their owners in building healthy, happy habits. Whether your pup needs a walking or running buddy, some playful company, or just plenty of love and attention, I’m here to help! My schedule is flexible, just ask! I often go for a walk or run in the mornings, at lunch or after work and would love to take your pup with me. We’ll go on frequent walks together, and I love coming up with games and puzzles to keep your pup mentally stimulated! Not currently offering pet care in my home, I’ll come to you!
About: I have been working with foster kittens through local shelters my entire life, learning how to manage medicine schedules, weighing schedules, as well as caring for vulnerable critters with illnesses or anxiety. Socializing kittens with dogs (vis versa) is also some thing I am incredibly passionate about, helping all animals in your household aclimate comfortably with one another is something I strive for! I worked for around a year with a professional dog show handler as her assistant, learning how to manage over 30 animals at a time, gaining valuable experience with grooming all types of dogs, working with animal parents, and acquiring valuable skills and knowledge in training and obedience. As a college student in the area, I’m looking to meet and support families around the community! My weekdays are more open to check-in visits and dog walking, my weekends are more open for boarding or Housesitting- lets me help you find what you need! And I will be able to stop by your house to feed, walk, or hang out with your animals as needed. Working around my school/athletics schedule should be no problem, and I am totally ready to figure out an agenda that works!
“Morgan was amazing! She was able to fit me in even when I had a last-minute trip come up and it was obvious she enjoys the job, I didnt have any concerns while I was gone.”
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers and have been around dogs my entire life. I even adopted my own pup in college which was the best decision I've ever made. I also have experience working with rescue organizations & am comfortable around all breeds / personalities. I recently graduated from grad school and have a few weeks before starting to work full time. I would love to use this time to help out where needed! I'll treat your pet and home as if they were my own and am happy to do whatever is needed for them - walks, cuddles, belly rubs, food, meds, etc!
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’m an experienced, attentive pet parent who genuinely loves animals and understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I have three dogs of my own (one is a cat but she thinks she’s the head dog I think that counts right?), so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, quirks, and the little details that make each pet feel comfortable and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with pets who need consistency, patience, enrichment, or a little extra attention. My professional background is in household management, where I’ve spent years coordinating busy households, managing detailed routines, and making sure nothing gets missed. I bring that same level of organization and reliability to pet care—but with a lot more belly rubs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, communicate with you throughout their stay, and treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’d love to help! I am currently a business owner who works from home Tuesday through Friday with very flexible hours. My fiance is also home in the evenings and helps to keep the pups and kitty on their normal routine plus some extra hardcore playtime. Our normal routine is early morning sniff walkie (we call the shorty since we don’t get very far) then they nap the afternoon away and by 3pm we take our longer walk to stretch the muscles. 15-20 minutes of bully stick, lick mat, or mobility training (our senior gal is working on building muscle strength) in the late evenings and then they practice long self regulation relaxation on their own “place” while we work out in the gym. This is all in a perfect world! We try to teach them mental and emotional regulation so they can feel satisfied and we keep all our hair on our heads!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tacoma
Adria was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I found her. We met before my trip and it was clear that she’s a cat lover. While I was away, she sent lots of photos and updates and made me feel right at ease. I was even able to book her for an extra day at the last minute due to an emergency. Don’t hesitate to book Adria for your furry friend(s)!
Once again, Holly took such amazing care of my two beloved kitties. She is very much on top of everything and so communicative every step of the way. She takes amazing pictures of my babies for me to see while I am away (my favorite part). But the kitties favorite part are all the cuddles and play time that they get with her during their visits. I’ll continue to reserve Holly for future cat sitting needs as long as she is available. 🐾
Carrie had a great visit with my two cats! She did a wonderful job checking in to feed lunch, give treats and opened up our catio for them to enjoy. I really appreciated her fast communication when booking the visit, detailed notes on the report, and lots of pictures. Both cats seemed super comfortable with her, which is a big deal especially because one of them tends to be kind of shy. Would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again. Thank you so much Carrie!
Megan was the best first Rover experience I could have asked for! She is self sufficient, caring, and most importantly knows exactly what your pet needs. I took a long trip out of the country, and even though my cat, Violet, has everything she needed- Megan went above and beyond to keep her happy. Sometimes the anxiety of leaving your pet behind is worse than any actual risk of doing so– and Megan managed to make the experience stress free for both myself and for Violet. I will be booking Megan for all my future trips out of town!
Ella went above and beyond this holiday weekend. Our kitty girl looked real happy in her photos and was well take care of! I want to shout Ella out for being respectful as well— I got a notification our front door was jammed (meaning not completely locked) after one of her visits. Wonky door. I didn’t realize until later but she was so quick to turn around and come to back to fix it for us. Looking forward to booking her again. Thanks Ella!
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tacoma is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
