“Our kitties were is great hands! Thank you for taking such great care. All the photos and little checklists were great to see and left us relaxed about leaving our kitties alone for 5 days.”
“As always, Alyssa is amazing at sending updates and making sure our fur babies are well taken care of! We always trust her to watch the cats and give them some enrichment while we're gone, and they're never grumpy with us when we get back ☺️”
“Brianna did such a great job with our cat Lola who is a very shy, anxious cat. She sent us pics of her time with Lola and we came home to happy cat and a clean litterbox. Would definitely use Brianna again.”
“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.”
“Allycen is so so good with our cats and so attentive to their needs and behaviors. So glad we can count on her to take great care of them and keep us in the loop on any developments. Even our shy cat loves her :)”
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”

“Wendy was a great pet sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking! She was very patient with my temperamental cat, cared well for her in my absence, and communicated exceptionally well about each visit. I was so thankful to know my pet was in good hands while I was out of town. Absolutely book Wendy for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I've taken care of sick or terminally ill animals including diabetes, cancer, amputation, torn ligaments. I have lots of experience administering meds if needed. I am familiar with many local hikes and great places to walk the doggies. I am mindful of food allergies or triggers and will respect them. I work full-time with a flexible schedule and I work from home regularly. I can usually respond to your pet needs on short notice. We lost both our dog and cat to cancer recently and I would love to spend some time with yours! I am always mindful of ensuring dogs are leashed if outside the property, cats are kept inside if needed. I am always up for long walks, but I also enjoy just hanging out with an animal and giving them attention or playing games to stimulate their minds.
“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!”

I have a fully fenced yard, a kennel outside and a crate inside just in case. Plenty of toys and activities to keep your friend occupied.
“Liz was the perfect sitter for both our house and our two cats. She seemed to know how to get close to the cats, including one who has long had a difficult time warming up to new people. We communicated to Liz that one of our cats sometimes had a hard time eating when confronted with a new "cook." She texted us regular reports (with photos) to show that he was eating every meal. When we got home the cats were almost "too happy" which made us thankful that we found Liz. We will use her again!”
“Destiny was very attentive to Luna’s needs and kept her company while I was gone. I received plenty of photos and updates which made me feel at ease. I would absolutely book with Destiny again!”
“Savanna was very professional and prompt. She took care of Tank and made sure he was safe while we were away. We definitely know who to call the next time we need Tank cared for. Thank you!”
“Hannah was consistently on time and fulfilled all my detailed pet care needs. She was a good communicator as well as a good problem solver (because nothing ever goes as expected). I would recommend her to anyone for any pet care needs.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Tacoma is $23 per visit as of November 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,955 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
