About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages. I worked at a veterinary hospital as an animal care specialist, where I helped care for animals and learned how to keep them safe and comfortable. I’ve also helped raise a litter of German Shepherd puppies with my family and have experience caring for senior dogs, so I understand the different needs pets have at every stage of life. I love being around animals and treat every pet like family. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule! I’m available every weekday after about 2:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. On weekends, I work in the afternoon until around 4:30 PM, but I’m available before or after work depending on the timing. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pet’s routine and needs. Here’s a clear, shorter version you can use on Rover: Safety, Trust & Environment Pets in my care are always treated like family. I live on 2 fully fenced acres, giving dogs plenty of safe space to explore and exercise. I also have crate space available if your dog is crate-trained or needs their own quiet area. I have two friendly German Shepherds (ages 2 and 5), but they can easily be crated or kept separate if your pup prefers their own space. We also have chickens that are safely caged, so they remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment for every pet.

About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)

Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have grown up caring for them. I will treat your dogs as my own and there is nothing better to me than creating a connection with a new dog. Mon-Fri I am available for whatever you will need me to do however during weekends I will be busy with baseball. Very rarely will baseball cut into the week. If I am the only one home with my dogs I will stay I. The same room as them to assure them that they aren’t alone and I will talk and play with them as they want. If they start to get antsy and look like they need some time outside I will take them on a walk. Also of course I will make sure their water bowl is filled with clean water on a regular basis.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I've helped rescue nine cats and raised seven from kittens to adulthood, which has given me extensive experience with feline care and behavior. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building a bond with them through play, attention, and consistent care. In addition to cats, I regularly help care for my family's dog through walks, playtime, and daily care. I also have experience raising and caring for ducks, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each animal's needs. While cats are where most of my experience lies, I'm excited to work with dogs and other animals as well. I'm reliable, attentive to detailed care instructions, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own animals. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'll have almost unlimited free time to play and care for your pets! I also don't mind weird hours, day or night. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. I like to be extra attentive and keep a close eye on pets because their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while you're away, helping them feel happy and secure in their familiar environment.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even a parrot—so caring for them is basically part of my DNA. I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer because working with animals isn’t just something I do, it’s genuinely what I love. I volunteer with a local shelter where I walk dogs, help ease kennel stress, and run playgroups for pups of all personalities. This year I even spent time volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece, which gave me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments and behavior quirks. I’m well-versed in positive reinforcement training and behavior modification, and I’m also certified in animal CPR and first aid—so your pet is in safe, capable hands. Whether your dog is shy, silly, high-energy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here for it. I'm currently finishing school to be a dog trainer and I only work on call. I also have conferences and school stuff that occasionally take me out of state, which will be reflected on my calendar. I do playgroups at the shelter 3pm on every Thursday. Outside of that, I'm avaible. I can't board pets in my own home unfortunately. When it comes to boarding in your home, I suppose we can work out the details

Dylan was a life saver! We had to scramble for last minute plans and Dylan did a drop in for us while we were out of town. I got lots of pictures and can tell my two cats were loved on.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

About: Hey there, my name's Beka and I love critters of all shapes and sizes! Pups hold a special place in my heart. I raised and trained several dogs growing up, and I've spent a lot of time petsitting breeds of various sizes and energy levels throughout the years. That work has included care for litters of young pit puppies, sitting and assisting in the training of a deaf Australian shepherd pup, plus walking dogs of all ages and providing more laid back companionship to elderly canines. I'm comfortable and competent administering medicine and eager to learn the individual needs of your dog. Currently, I live a house with 3 cats and a frog. Other animals I've 'sat' include cats, rats, snakes, and chickens. There's no critter I wouldn't want to meet! Currently I work part time as a Barista and have mostly open availability Sunday through Thursday. If you work long office hours and need someone to get your pal out to stretch their legs, we could be a great fit! Please note that on workdays (thru-sat) I am not available 7:30am-4pm. I take a conscientious approach to house and pet sitting. Your home is your personal space and it's important to me that you feel respected.

About: As an Emergency & Critical Care veterinary professional, I'm experienced in recognizing subtle changes in a pet's health, administering medications as directed, and caring for senior, anxious, and medically complex pets. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I work in Emergency & Critical Care at a specialty veterinary hospital, so caring for animals is something I do every day. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my own pets and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their personality, age, and medical needs. Whether they're an energetic puppy, a senior companion, or a pet with special needs, my goal is to make them feel loved, secure, and cared for while you're away.

Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Tenino

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tenino. 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 Tenino 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tenino choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Tenino with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tenino. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
