“Adria is amazing. She is attentive, thorough, caring, and takes adorable glamour photos of my cat while I’m gone. My cat adores her and I know he’s in good hands while I have to be out of town!”
“Quinn was such an amazing sitter for our boys! She was so sweet, communicative, and sent great updates each day with sweet pictures of our kitties to assure us that our cats were well cared for :) We would choose her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend her enough!”
“A great experience with Allycen as always- she kept us looped in about how the kitties were doing on a regular basis, and we knew the kitties were in good hands.”
“Gabrielle's the best! Dropped in to hang out with my aging cat, and he looked healthier when we got back than when we left! (Seriously, I don't know what she did, but his fur was smoother and his cat acne was gone...). Highly recommend Gabrielle and I will book with her again if she's able!”
“Drew is wonderful with our Maggie. Followed directions to a T and the communication was A+. We’ve never had anyone come in and take care of our girl but Drew really put at us ease. Sent brilliant pictures and engaged with Maggie. I know next time we leave town Drew will definitely be the person we call. Highly recommend”
“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.”
“Kimberly was a great cat sitter for us! It was our visit with her and our cat Finnegan, and they bonded quickly, and we could tell Finny was well taken care of and loved. Kimberly was responsible, responsive, and took excellent care of both our cat and our home. We came home to a happy cat and well-tended house. We will be happy to hire her again soon - and can't recommend her enough. Thanks Kimberly!”
“Laura consistently goes above and beyond to care for Ollie - no request is too small or big for her! Your pets will be in very good hands with her- Ollie is always pleased to see her!”
“Megan was outstanding! She took a last minute overnight booking to take care of our cats and feed our chickens. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her timeliness and communication from the meet and greet to her keeping me informed throughout her stay. Most importantly, our cats were well cared for - she really connected with them.”
“Alyssa has watched out kittens a couple times and is always phenomenal. Her communication is top notch and she takes such good care of the kittens while we’re away. They’re always happy to see her. She’s always our top choice when we are away.”
“Theo took such great care of my oldgirl kitty that when I got home, she was curled up in deep sleep. I rarely am away overnight. Miss Tippi is an anxious tiny. To see her well fed and relaxed put me at ease. I would highly recommend him!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Adam was great with our cats! He took great care of them and was very patient with our cat who tends to hide under the bed around strangers. He also sent lots of wonderful pictures. Highly recommended.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tacoma
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!
We had such a great experience with Carrie! She was communicative and responsive before and throughout our trip, sending detailed updates on each visit with our kitty. She took extra notes and asked during our intro visit to make sure all care information was clear. Most of all, she is a clearly kind and thoughtful person who is great with people and animals alike. I highly recommend working with Carrie!
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!

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 .

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.
