“Laura was excellent! Took great care of our Kiki and Scout and left the house in great condition when we got home. Even took care of our tomato plants while we were away! 10/10 would recommend!”
“It was so nice to know that my pets were safe with Alyssa's care! They clearly warmed with her attention and are safe at home with her visits. I really appreciated the videos and photos Alyssa sent me. I plan to have her return for the holidays!”
“I just love reading Elizabeth’s updates on our dog when she sits for us. She gives him all the cuddles and attention he demands. He always looks forward to her visits, and while he gets sad when he sees us packing for a trip, he knows what “Elizabeth” means, and does his happy tappies.”
“Ella is absolutely fantastic- I appreciate Ella’s professionalism and timeliness and Ella is so sweet with my little senior boys. Very grateful for Ella’s help while we were in town with our pups!! Thank you so much”
“Did a trial run check in before a weekend stay with my girl. She wasn’t feeling well leading into the day and unfortunately got sick while I was out. Alyssa informed me of this and helped clean it up. Looking forward to entrusting her while I’m gone for a longer period. Thanks again!!”
“I was so very pleased with Juli's visits with my two kitties. Both of them found love at first sight when they met her! I went on my trip confident in her care for them and was surprised to receive professional quality photos as well. My kitties and I will choose Juli every time!”
“Minh was absolutely fantastic with our pup! She provided consistent updates, sent great photos, and followed all care instructions to a T. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuine dog lover. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“Paul was clutch in every sense of the word. 🫶 We were in a bit of a scramble after our original sitter fell through last-minute, and Paul came through like a legend. We had a wedding to attend and needed someone to check in on our fur kids (Nala, Zeus, Tank, and Milo) — and he totally nailed it. From the jump, he was super chill, responsive, and just on it. Asked all the right questions, followed instructions to a T, and kept us updated with messages that made us feel way less guilty for stepping away from our lovable little velvet hippos for the day. 😅 Our kids are generally friendly, but let’s be real — a pack of bullies charging at you with full gremlin energy can be a lot. Paul didn’t even flinch. Handled it like an absolute pro, and had them vibing with him almost instantly. We could tell they were in great hands — cared for, played with, and probably a little spoiled (as they should be). Honestly, Paul is the kind of sitter that makes you feel like you hit the Rover jackpot.✨Reliable, good vibes, and clearly great with animals. 1000% would book again. Thank you, Paul, for stepping up and showing our kids mad love. You’re officially part of our bully gang now. 🐾💯”
“We use Holly’s services a bunch and can attest to how great she is with our little (big) pup and our home. Complete peace of mind every time she stops in to take care of Flicka. We cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Holly for being such a great dog sitter!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Lisa was AWESOME! She checked in on my sassy cat while I was out of town and gave her plenty of play time and belly rubs. Will be booking again! Thank you, Lisa!”

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.
Ashley was wonderful with our dogs while we were away! She took such great care of Morty and Daisy, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even gave Morty baths and did an excellent job with him! We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups. We’re so grateful for Ashley’s care and would absolutely trust her with our dogs again. Thank you, Ashley!
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 Pet Sitting in Tacoma on Rover is $24.42 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,267 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tacoma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tacoma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
