“Michael was very prompt and very accommodating. We really appreciate his extra efforts to get to know our dog before his longer stay. Our normally shy dog warmed up to him right away and we feel really comfortable leaving our dog with him. We are looking forward to his stay with our dog.”
“Juli made me perfectly comfortable leaving her to care for my boys! I knew from our first visit that my cats were in good hands. Thank you so much for the picture and the update! I will definitely book you again!”
“Quinn was amazing with my cats! I left for a few days out of state and came back to the place looking great! I’ve had some experiences with sitters leave a mess with the litter, Quinn kept everything very clean! Will book again.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—dogs, cats, and even small animals—so providing loving care for animals is second nature to me. I began pet and house sitting through Rover in the summer of 2025, and I bring a lifetime of experience as a responsible and compassionate caregiver. As a seasoned educator, I’m deeply attuned to the needs of others—both human and animal! I know how to create calm, safe, and nurturing environments, and I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I’m especially mindful of the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your pets. I bring that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. Whether your pets need a cozy companion, a gentle walk, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help them feel loved and secure. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means your pets will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My meetings are all virtual and can be scheduled around the needs of your pets and home. I also don’t have small children, so I’m able to keep a calm and focused environment that’s ideal for pets who need consistency, affection, or extra care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply being a steady presence, I’m available and attentive to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a safe, peaceful, and familiar environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their routine, especially while you're away, so I do my best to follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. I take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and tuning into their needs—whether that’s extra playtime, a quiet companion, or lots of snuggles. I also keep in regular communication with you, so you can feel confident that your home and beloved pets are in good hands. Your pets’ safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m honored to provide dependable care in the place they know best—home.
“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.”
“Alyssa was so great. She came over prior to her first time letting the dogs out to meet them and tour the house. The dogs liked her right away and she asked all the right questions. She was on time for each of her visits and did a great job checking in and sending pictures. We will for sure use her again.”
“Elizabeth was a perfect match for our cat sitting needs and was able to give our geriatric feline her meds. She was prompt, professional, and relpied quickly to messages. We will definitely ask her to take care of our kitty again!”
“Carrie was amazing! Super communicative and provided detailed updates on each visit that were much appreciated. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was in such great hands!”
“Emily was wonderful with our cats! She sent a note and pictures everyday for us. I would highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again when we need to be gone.”
“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 had such a great experience with Megan! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I really appreciate the care and attention she gave them—it gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾”
“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!”
“Alyssa was great! Our Puli, Ellie warmed up to her immediately. This was our first experience through Rover and it couldn’t have gone any better. We will definitely plan to use her services in the future! Thank you, Alyssa!”
“Laura is a wonderful choice if you are looking for someone to watch your pet. She is the only one I want spending time with my pup when I am away. Always goes above and beyond leaving detailed messages and does a great job. Laura should always be your first pick!”

Highly recommend Carrie! She goes above and beyond and was so incredibly patient and kind with our shy kitty boy. I felt so at ease while we were away. Her communication was great. Our kitty has a somewhat complex feeding schedule and she took such great care with following the instructions.
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!
Adria is amazing! I was very hesitant to leave Kevin behind whilst I went on my trip, as I know he gets stressed and lonely. I'm so happy I chose Adria for his care. She and I hit it off great, and Kevin the cat was immediately taken with her. I really felt comfortable leaving Kevin with her, she's clearly a cat person and is a caring individual who wants the best for the creatures in her care. She brought toys and silvervine for him and even took him outside on his leash for a few days. She took many pictures for me and left great notes for each trip. On my return he was very laid back and relaxed, which is a sign that he was not stressed by my absence. I put that down to Adria giving him all the attention and stimulation that he needed in my absence. Thank you Adria!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tacoma on Rover is $23.26 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,893 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.

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.
