“Julie was awesome!!! Her care of my 3 pups and how they took to her gave us a great sense of peace. I loved seeing the daily pics of them and seeing them happy and cared for. I would highly recommend her and I'm sure we will use her again in the future.”
“Mandy was so great with our baby! She was very communicative, detailed, and punctual. After meeting her, we felt extremely comfortable leaving our baby in her hands. We loved all the pics and updates she sent! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone needing care for their pets.”
“Lorie & her daughter are great. They were consistent with the not fun stuff likenkeeping up on the litter box. My cats were really comfortable with them. (Otis & Cooper are not always so engaging) Such peace of mind. Thank you. I will be booking Lorie again.”
About: I have experience being a caretaker to both humans and animals, starting as a child growing up with fish and an adorable Basset Hound mix. I've been trusted to care for many friends' and other's pets over the years, and have experience with dog training as well as anxious, ill, and elderly pets. I can provide additional reviews through Trusted Housesitters. I'm currently nomadic, unemployed, and working on a book, so I have the flexibility to spend lots of time at home with any pets. Please read my entire profile carefully before sending requests. I'm currently unemployed and working on personal writing projects, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to devote attention to your furry family members. I have a sleep disorder and other health issues that mean that I can't accept sits with strict routines that start before 9am. I take care to be especially mindful of the pets' particular comforts and boundaries and do my best to keep things as normal and stable for them as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of friends, family, and my own dogs for 10+ years. As well as worked at dog daycare & boarding for 2+ years! I’m currently working part-time so I have extra time to care of your little ones! I’m fairly flexible with times and keep your dogs a priority! Lots of snuggles and play time is a necessity for my own, as well as your dogs! Ample amount of time for bathroom breaks and feeding time. I have a huge love for dogs, love meeting, and creating bonds with new ones! :)
About: I work remotely part time from home. Looking for extra income and more animals to adore. I help take care of family also. Long term and short term availability. Currently working at home part time. So lots of time. And have my own schedules with current animals, livestock, poultry and cats & dogs. Also some reptiles. I am working on sitting up a safe area for pets to be removed from my animals and then will be open for boarding. Unsure on the timeline of that
“If I could give 6 stars I would! Sara went above and beyond for my pets - and my house. Followed every direction and even did things I forgot to ask for. Also the communication could not have been better, all around highly recommend!”
“We have been repeat clients of Fawn from house sitting for a week at a time to drop in visits for our high energy dogs (Rottweiler and American Bully). She loves our animals like her own, always shows up on time, and is in constant communication with us not only words but with pictures too when we are away. She gives us a great sense of security when our babies are in her care, especially since they adore her. We highly recommend her for your pet’s needs.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and those needing a little extra patience and care. Whether it’s playtime, training support, or simply keeping your pet comfortable, I make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and part of the family. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for walks, drop-ins, or playtime during weekdays after work hours. Your pet’s routine and comfort are my top priority, so I make sure to adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new friends. Safety is always my first priority, so I supervise playtime closely and can crate your pup if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
About: Hi there! I'm a part-time teacher, full time animal lover! I've cared for dogs big and small, from puppies to seniors. I use fear-free training and socialization strategies to make pets feel safe, confident, and loved (including with my own puppy, Phoebe). :-) I'm a substitute teacher, meaning that I'm available evenings, weekends, school breaks, and holidays. Reach out and we'll make it work! Please note: currently, I'm only able to house-sit for up to two nights at a time. Thanks for understanding! I work hard to build solid, positive relationships with your pets to keep them safe, secure, and happy! As a puppy-parent myself, I know consistency is key, so I'm always happy to help your pets practice their tricks, obedience, and being on their best behavior. I'm comfortable crating, leashing, and handling pets in their homes and neighborhoods, as well as providing play, socialization, and mental enrichment.
“We were in town for a vacation and couldn’t leave our dog alone when we wanted to go out. Nancy was super flexible and did a great job with our Copper. She took care of him several times and by the 2nd visit Copper was so excited to see her. Thanks Nancy!”
“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”
“Caymee was amazing! She did a meet and greet with us before watching our dogs which we really appreciated! She was perfectly on time, provided us with detailed check ins and took extra care to help us out beyond that. We will definitely be requesting Caymee anytime she’s available to watch our animal.”
“Samantha did a great job dropping in on our two cats. I was able to enjoy my trip so much better knowing the cats were in good hands. She sent tons of photos every day and spent quality time playing with them.”

Always making sure I see happy tails wagging around.
“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.”

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!
Amanda was FABULOUS at watching our two pups while we were away for a trip! Between the detailed updates, pictures, walks and even helping water the flowers at home, she did everything I could’ve wanted! I know our dogs enjoyed her coming over and spending time with them and giving them much needed snuggles. We will absolutely be booking with Amanda again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Yelm on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,805 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Yelm. 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 Yelm 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
