“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”

Just like the first time, she was prompt and professional in her responses to the initial inquiry and following correspondence, came in at the requested time, took care of and spent some time with Cooper, and provided updates and pics. I came home to a happy pup :) Thanks again Claire!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.
About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!
“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”
“Melissa was a fantastic sitter! She was so communicative and made sure we knew Sunny was good! Even over the holidays, she was on time and put love and care into taking care of our pup! I will definitely book her again!”
“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”
“Sarah is a wonderful sitter! Booked her for two drop-ins with walks and my dogs absolutely loved her. One of my dogs is a little older and requires medication and she was very gentle getting her to take it. She’s very communicative throughout. Absolutely recommend Sarah!”
About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs and cats over the years be it mine or a friend's or families. I water and feed and play with them. Im a pro at getting the dogs to go potty within a really good time frame. Dogs and cats love me and I love them. I dont work or anything, so im always free to give your animals love and affection, walks, play, etc. I just want them to be happy and well cared for and thats exactly what I strive to achieve! I live in an apartment and the door is always locked at all times. The animals here are very happy and are very well fed and taken care of with lots of play and affection.
“Yvonne was great with taking care of our dog when we needed someone for a last minute trip. She was quick to schedule a meet and greet, was very kind, and was always quick to respond whenever I messaged her to check in. I would definitely recommend her and will rebook with her in the future!”
“Jerrie is a reliable sitter and always sends me photos of my dog playing outside. She takes great care of him when I’m away. Plus, she has saved me at the last minute and been available with short notice.”
“This week I was unable to make it home at lunch each day to let my pups out but I wasn’t worried about them because Deidre was available to do drop in visits. She is amazing and both my pups love it when she visits them”
“Johanna is always so wonderful! She sends tons of pictures and long, diligent reports on how Oscar is doing, which makes me feel reassured when I need to leave town. She really goes above and beyond every time!”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have a genuine love for being near animals and taking care of them because they brighten my day. I am currently in college I want to try to make pet sitting a part time job so I can save up for my future. The apartment comples I live in has a dog park where a lot of dogs go and have fun, if there is any type of schedule by the owner/owners I would follow it. I usually try to relax on my free time, reading books and enjoying art, my hobbies give me time to take care of and play with the animals that I care for. The doors are locked unless I or someone with a key unlocks them, i make sure that the dogs have a leash on before I open the door and that there are no cats near the door to run out.
“Naomi is wonderful! She communicates very well and spends a lot of time personalizing her drop in visits to make sure my pup is fully fulfilled while I’m gone. She has a calm demeanor and is so patient with my wild girl! Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Tumwater
Ami was an amazing sitter for our two cats and chickens. She was very kind, patient and showed me immediately she was excited to care for my pets. She sent tons of photos and had great communication if she had any questions or responding to us. I would definitely recommended her if you need a sitter and I would use her again for my own cats and chickens.
Johanna did above and beyond to care for our cats while my fiance and I were traveling. I would highly recommend her, and I appreciate her flexibility with scheduling. She was very invested in making sure our cats were safe, taken care of, and her daily reports were very reassuring!
Kate did a terrific job and took excellent care of our pets. She went above and beyond what was expected and took the time to bring in a couple packages that were delivered while we were gone and vacuumed up some kitty litter spillage. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and will recommend her to family and friends.
Ket was truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem of a sitter. We contacted her very last minute, and without hesitation she was more than willing to step in and help care for our cats, Lucy and Peter. From the very beginning, communication was easy, reassuring, and thoughtful. We had already left the U.S. for vacation a few weeks before she came, so we scheduled a video call to explain everything in detail—our situation, how our fur babies were doing, their routines, and all the instructions for the house. Ket was attentive, asked great questions, and made us feel completely at ease right away. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the responsibility seriously. While we were away, she followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond. She made sure Lucy and Peter were well-fed, played with, and showered with love and attention. She cleaned their feeder, water fountain, and litter box machine thoroughly, keeping everything spotless. On top of that, she kindly brought in our Chewy online order and even took our trash can out so it could be picked up—small details that made a huge difference and showed how thoughtful she is. Lucy and Peter were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. Coming home knowing our cats were loved and our home was well cared for was priceless. We would absolutely, without a doubt, have Ket again. She is reliable, kind, proactive, and genuinely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended! 💛

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Tumwater on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
