Top rated Tumwater cat sitters
“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”
“Sarah was amazing! She was able to come last minute and meet our dogs the night before we left to go out of town. She sent so many pictures and was super open with communication. She even went above and beyond and cleaned our floors for us since the dogs brought in a bunch of dirt and mud. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks so much again Sarah!”
“Johanna was absolutely wonderful while caring for Kylo. She was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring during every drop-in visit. It was clear that she took the time to make sure Kylo was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. One thing I especially appreciated was her excellent communication. She sent daily updates along with pictures, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see how well Kylo was doing while I was away.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thank you for the great pictures and for checking on them at the last minute. It was really easy to arrange this with you last minute. Hope to see you again, Becky!!”
“Maggie checked all boxes to make you feel comfortable leaving your fur and feather babies! She responded promptly and took great care in leaving thoughtful and detailed “report cards” for checkins. Upon returning the kittens and chickens were so happy and at ease. The house was also very clean. Highly recommend Maggie :)”
“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.”
“Hannah was great! We will definitely use her again. She responded to all of our questions promptly and our dog was very well cared for. I especially likes the photos that she sent. I recommend her highly.”
“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
“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!”
“Lizzy was great with our dogs and kept us updated the whole trip with photos and messages letting us know how they were doing! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her in the future”
About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
“Kaci is amazing she followed our suggestions and directions perfectly, and even our super skittish spicy cat seemed to stay near her and let her pet her! Loved seeing the card afterwards with the photos, our kitties looked so relaxed around her. Really put us at ease while we were away!”
“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”
“Angela was fantastic. Even though my cats are shy, she was dedicated to finding them and sending me updates each day, often with a great sense of humor. I felt good knowing my girls were in her hands while I was gone. Would recommend and will be using her again.”
“Kylie was fabulous. We left her with our cat who already wasn’t feeling well and ended up getting worse. She was so great communicating and getting our baby to the vet. Wouldn’t hesitate booking her again.”
“As always thank you so much for the visit!! I appreciate all the communication and photos you continue to provide during visits. My girl is in good hands with you when I am gone! Thank you again ☺️”
Tumwater cat parents share their Rover experiences
Madison is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She took such great care of our cat Lily. She kept us informed every day while we were out of town with updates and pictures for every drop-in. She really put me at ease, knowing our cat was well loved while we were gone. She is very kind and trustworthy and I would definitely have her back again!
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.
Thank you, Vita for taking such excellent care of our cats! Our time away was very enjoyable as we knew that are fur babies were cared for so well. Vita came twice a day and administered medication to one of our 17 year-old cats and sent pictures of her playing with them and being so content and happy. We will definitely use her again!
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! 💛
We felt very comfortable with Rylee and recommend her services without hesitation. We will definitely ask her to pet sit in the future if she is available. She made the effort to understand what our cat needed, communicated reliably with us, sent pictures and left things clean. We weren't sure if our cat would take medicine from another person but she did with Rylee.
