“Amanda was fantastic and my cats love her. She took excellent care of them, which included insulin injections to one of the cats. I’d highly recommend Amanda for your pet sitting needs.”
“Thank you so much, Emily. I’m very very grateful that you took good care of my little boy cat. The house looked great no disruptions no complaints and I hope that you will continue doing pet sitting because I will definitely ask you again in the future to take care of Tigger. I highly recommend anyone looking for a pet sitter to call on Emily.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to providing not only reliable care but also compassionate attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I approach every animal with patience, respect, and genuine understanding, ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have extensive experience working with both puppies and senior pets, understanding the special requirements of each stage of life. When caring for puppies, I focus on maintaining consistency in their training, reinforcing positive behaviors, and providing the socialization and playtime that is essential for their development. For senior pets, I am attentive to their comfort and health, administering any necessary medications, supporting mobility, and creating a calm environment tailored to their pace. In addition to my hands-on experience, I pride myself on clear and professional communication with pet owners. I provide detailed updates, photos, and observations to give you peace of mind that your beloved pet is being cared for with the highest level of attentiveness and respect. Above all, my goal is to ensure that each pet feels genuinely cared for, and that each owner feels confident their companion is in trustworthy, compassionate hands. Pet care fits into my routine as a flexible part-time focus. I schedule visits around other sitting jobs and prioritize consistency and reliability for each client. I don’t have a car, so I accept bookings within a manageable distance. Pet care is an integral component of my daily and weekly routine, and I approach it with a sense of responsibility, consistency, and attentiveness to the well-being of my animals. On a daily basis, I follow a structured schedule that includes feeding at set times, ensuring they receive adequate hydration, and conducting quick health checks to observe any changes in their behavior, appetite, or physical condition. Morning and evening walks or play sessions are carefully incorporated to provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation, which are essential for maintaining their overall health and happiness. I offer in-home sitting and dog walking, caring for pets in their familiar environment. I follow each client’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I also have personal experience caring for a dog with allergies, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, avoiding known triggers, and paying attention to changes in a dog’s skin or behavior. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention just like I would my own dog, Korona. 🐾 I’m retired from the military, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for play and relaxation. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re away.
About: I've raised 2 dogs and have taken care of friends' and co-workers' dogs for nearly 40 years. I love snuggling with and playing fetch with dogs of all ages. I don't watch much t.v. so, most of my time would be spent enjoying your friend/family member's company! I can't wait!!! I work from home most days and I typically work Monday through Friday. On the weekends I don't work, so I will be fully engrossed in play with your loved one! I live in a cute little house with a small back yard, but have a big middle school one street away where I take doggies to play and walk. There's also a really close park and tons of walking paths nearby.
“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, I have 2 cats as well! While I was in college my roommates had dogs that I would watch when they would leave or couldn’t come home in time. I’m good with both both cats and dogs. Im currently working part time, I don’t think pet sitting is a job it’s so fun to do so I would love it as a side job. I’m also getting my masters in biomedical sciences right now My pets have access to every inch of the house and are well cared for, toys, scratch post and many treats! I love playing with them, taking them outside, feeding and can also clean litter boxes

“I am an elderly widow and QingQuin is an absolute 5-stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟godsend when I needed her the most! My girl is very old, very slow, on tons of meds and has severe anxiety when I’m away, and I had to travel for my mother’s funeral in FL. My heart was shattered and I was worried about leaving my cat behind. Qing’s qualifications in medical behavioral care are invaluable to our family! She followed every medication and injection perfectly and provided daily photos and videos so I could tell my girl was actually relaxed. Qing is an angel to our family and always able to help last minute!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I was a youngling! I grew up with cats and dogs and then was able to house sit and pet sit for my neighbors. With my animal shelter job experience I am able to provide more tentative and loving care while being responsible and ready for any emergencies. As someone who is home constantly I am able to provide your pet with 24/7 care! I am very active and love to go on walks as well so if you have a dog I am always ready to be active with them!! When I have any animal in my home I am always alert and ready for anything to happen, but also I am always providing loving and caring care to the animals making sure they feel loved and their anxiety goes down! When I’m in other peoples home I am always extra aware of my surroundings and environment and make sure that the animals are comfortable with me.
“Adam took great care of our kitties, and we would definitely use him again. His communication was fantastic — both before and during our trip. The daily Rover cards were always so much fun to review, and Adam clearly went the extra mile to give our (otherwise likely very bored) cats some much-appreciated attention and stimulation during our absence. Beyond our cats, he brought in any packages and generally kept an eye on things, which we also appreciated. I can recommend him to other cat-owners, and we will definitely keep Adam on our short list for cat care needs.”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Puppy’s to seniors with med regimens, physical problems or even just needed someone to care for them.

When your dog stays with me, we can guarantee - 3-4 potty breaks min. -trip to the dog park (depending on preference) -consistency with training and commands -open communication with photos/videos ** PLEASE NOTE -Meet and Greets are complimentary.

About: I’m home Monday–Friday and available on weekends with advance notice. I live in Beachcrest, with a private trail to the beach and plenty of dog-friendly parks nearby. If your pet loves exploring, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for beach adventures, walks, and play! My home has a large deck and yard, though the yard is unfenced. Pets often enjoy sunbathing on the deck or checking out my fish ponds. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and colleagues for as long as I can remember. I have experience with pet first aid, medication administration, and senior animals, and I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
“Wonderfully detailed updates, very thorough and included information I had not even thought about. I felt good about everything the whole time we Winnie was looking after our cats, and would not hesitate to recommend Winnie.”
“Great pet sitter! She did an amazing job during her drop-in visits with my cats and provided good pictures with her updates. Would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Margaret was a great companion to our shy Jonesy while we were away! Her reassuring presence convinced him to come out of his closet safe space and go hang out all over the apartment with Margaret. She sent us pictures and updates - and even watered our plants!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Yelm
My kitties love Lorie and Lorelai! We have had them care for our four cats several times and they always go above and beyond! Lorie provides detailed updates and pictures every visit which helps put my mind at ease while we are away. Thank you for pouring so much love and energy into caring for my cats and home! I appreciate you!
Julie has been fantastic! She’s dropped in for multiple visits with my kitty Charlie while I’m traveling and is always on time and takes great care of her. She’s also been very accommodating when last minute changes pop up like with one of my recent bookings. She even sends me pictures and updates about how each visit went which means a lot when I’m on the road and missing my fur baby!
This is the 2nd time we have used Sara to watch our fur baby, Maddie. We were thrilled she was available on short notice to do 3 drop-in visits to feed and play with our cat. It's such a great feeling knowing that someone we can trust is there to love on our baby girl as much as we do. I will absolutely check Sara's availability before I book my next vacation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Yelm is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,440 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Yelm. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
