“This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.”
About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.
“Always the best caregiver for my boys! Plus, she’s willing to do stuff like bringing in the boxes that I didn’t realize we’re gonna be delivered last night and today… So much fun these things come to me when I don’t plan for them!”
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”
About: I have had animals all my life. Living on a farm ranging from horses and pigs to cats and dogs. Now living by myself with 3 furry friends I’m confident I can handle and care for any surprises your pets would throw at me. I do currently work on Thursdays to Saturdays and every other Sunday. I work nights so if you are in need of help I can stop by during the days on those days. I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. Each have their very own personalities. I pride myself in understanding their needs and wants. I do spoil them rotten. When living with my parents we had over 5 dogs at one time and multiple cats with other animals such as horses, rabbits, pigs and many others.
“Mackenzie was wonderful. Great communication and we loved the daily updates. Gave us great comfort knowing Birdie & Sam had Mackenzie checking in on them every day. Sam requires medication and Mackenzie was able to ensure he got it exactly as needed and when he needed. The kitties were well cared for and happy. We’d absolutely have Mackenzie care for our fur babies again and recommend her care for others.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience taking care of my family’s animals, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re part of the family! I work full-time in healthcare three days a week, giving me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable pet care on my days off. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust by keeping pets supervised, following their routines, and treating every home with care and respect. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Yvonne was lovely with our kitty. He immediately was prepared to give her attitude and love, which takes time with most people. We were so pleased with fun detailed check in notes and the care he received.”
“Bethani has really gone above and beyond what I was expecting! She brought the trash cans in from the road and sent updates on my animals that live outside, both things not asked for but appreciated. I trust her completely and my cat loves her!”
About: I have watched and taken care of dogs since I was 16! From Dobermans to Shih Tzu’s! I have roughly 10 years so experience. Neighbors, friends, family have all trusted me with their fur babies. I love all animals and have even taken care of chickens, and other various farm animals! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! Right now on the days I do work (just three days a week) it’s typically from 3:30-9 or 5-10. I plan on doing drop in visits and walks since I have a little family of my own! Your pup and I can play as long as needed for drop in visits and go on however long of a walk they normally go on! I can easily and tentatively follow care instructions and if they need to be crated or anything of the sort!
“Thelma is a nervous dog, Ashliegh did a great job letting Thelma get comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Judging by the photos, Thelma felt quite at ease during the drop in!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 955 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Thurston. 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thurston. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
