“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”

“Stephanie took great care of my dogs while I was on my trip. She was very flexible with her start and stop times which helped me out tremendously. She also updated me every day with several pictures. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

“Our pups and home were so well taken care of during our weekend away. Came home to happy, content campers. Chelsea was communicative and shared lots of photos and updates of how everyone was while we were gone. Will definitely have her pup sit for us again!”

“Grace took great care of Astro and our house. She kept us up to date on how he was doing and was very responsive to our communications. We would definitely have her watch Astro again.”


“Jennefer house-sat our 3 month old puppy for an evening while we were out for an appointment. She was very attentative and respectful of our puppy's needs which are very specific with her being so young and not fully house trained. Our puppy took a liking to her immediately and spent the whole time either playing with her or napping on the couch with her head on Jennefer's lap. The constant photo and video updates gave us plenty of reassurance and peace of mind.”

“Elizabeth was fantastic for our holiday trip! She was incredibly communicative and offered a level of care for our anxious pup that has been unmatched by others. Highly recommend!!”

About: 🐾 What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, along with my hands-on experience in training, grooming, and behavior management. Growing up, I helped care for a Schipperke and later two Chihuahuas, where I developed a love for daily walks, grooming, and building strong relationships with dogs. As I got older, I wanted to expand my experience and raise a high-energy working breed, which led me to my Australian Shepherd, Bailey. 🐶 Since bringing Bailey home as a puppy 7 years ago, I’ve participated in obedience training, at-home training, 4-H, showing, herding, and swimming activities. I also learned how to groom her myself and developed a strong understanding of canine body language and behavior. Through raising her from puppyhood to adulthood, I learned how to recognize what dogs are communicating through their actions, energy levels, and routines. ❤️ I later welcomed a second Australian Shepherd, Willow, who has a completely different personality. She’s vocal, energetic, and more sensitive to certain environments, which taught me that every dog has unique needs and triggers. This experience helped me become adaptable and attentive to each dog’s individual personality. 🎓 In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve helped owners work on puppy house manners, basic obedience, and simple tricks. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small companion breeds to larger breeds such as Labradors and German Shepherd mixes. ✨ Whether your dog needs an energetic walking partner, a patient sitter, reinforcement of good manners, or simply someone who understands their unique personality, I strive to provide care that makes them feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. As the owner of two Australian Shepherds and a young cat, I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, exercise, playtime, grooming, and providing companionship. 🐶 My dogs receive daily walks and enrichment activities, and I regularly brush and groom them to keep them comfortable and healthy. My cat also gets dedicated playtime and attention throughout the day. Caring for pets isn’t something I fit in when I have spare time—it’s already an important part of my lifestyle. Because I’m accustomed to caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, adding pet sitting, drop-in visits, or walks fits naturally into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on a long walk, playing fetch, providing enrichment, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I start by learning about each pet’s schedule, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. I want to know things like feeding routines, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, areas they are allowed in, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and plenty of companionship. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs, like my Australian Shepherds, and more laid-back dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also reinforce house manners and any training routines owners are already working on. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and attention based on their comfort level. As a cat owner myself, I understand that some cats love to socialize while others prefer their space, and I adjust my care accordingly. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and body language. After raising dogs and cats with very different personalities, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize when a pet is excited, nervous, tired, overstimulated, or simply wants affection. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe environment, consistent care, lots of love, and regular updates to owners so they can feel confident while they’re away.
“Evelyn is our absolute go-to when we’re leaving our pups. She is responsive, asks questions if they come up, and our dogs are always thriving when we come back home. Can’t say enough good things about her!”

“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Maurice did a great job for our family’s week long vacation out of state. She handled the quirks of our household and our Great Dane dog with ease. We would have zero hesitation about using her again for a future trip.”

“My mind was completely at ease while Brandi was sitting with our dog. When we had our meeting prior to the weekend she sat for us, Brandi was thorough with her questions for me which gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing. She gave us updates and by the pictures she sent I could tell Leia was happy and loved on. We will definitely have her sit with Leia again.”


About: I’ve spent the past 5 years house sitting and caring for all kinds of dogs and cats, but there’s something special about getting outside and spending time with a happy pup! I love going on walks, playing, giving plenty of attention, and getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy making sure every pup feels safe, loved, and excited for their time with me! I currently work part time, which leaves me with a lot of availability throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and easily moldable, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them the time and attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or some extra company during the day, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever I can! Since I have a cat of my own, I’m not currently able to have other pets stay in my home. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home to care for your pets or take them out for walks, playtime, and adventures to the park. Whether you need someone for a quick visit or a longer stay, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away!
“Ali was a great sitter! She sent me a picture of our doggies when she arrived and let me know how things went and how the dogs got along. She left our house just as good as we did. :) Thank you, Ali! We'll book with you again.”
“Kristen was absolutely fantastic! She was communicative, took fabulous care of our pets and left our home clean and tidy. We would absolutely love to have her sit for us again!”

About: I have never met an animal who I have not loved; Or doesn't love me! 🐕🐈⬛ I have experience with ALL ages, and ALL sizes of dogs/cats. I seem to have a way with animals that give them a sense of comfort and safety. I try to understand each individual as their own, depending on them and their temperament, or personality as of course no animal is the same, but I quickly can tell how they will act. And animals seem to absolutely love that 🐾❤️ I structure my weekly schedule around pet care, which allows me to be flexible and reliable for my clients. I’m available for dog walks including evening walks that work well for dogs who need exercise after their owners get home from work. Because I intentionally keep my schedule manageable, I’m able to give each pet my full attention and ensure they get the care, exercise, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow any routines, feeding schedules, and instructions provided to keep things familiar and stress-free for the dog. During walks I stay attentive to the environment, use secure leash handling, and make sure dogs stay safe around traffic, other animals, and distractions. I also focus on positive reinforcement to help build trust and encourage good behavior, especially for dogs who may get excited or reactive on walks. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Julie was punctual, communicative, and respectful of our training plan with Bluey. She kept our home clean. She responded quickly and put me at ease. I can tell the love she has for animals.”

John did a great job with my two dogs, including my recent rescue from a tough situation, who is very timid and easily spooked. She quickly warmed up to John, and he was able to walk and play with both of them. John was very responsive and communicative. Will definitely use again!

We have used Katelin before and were delighted that she could come back. She is super prompt with communication and very kind. She adjusted her time when our travel plans had a shift and also help set up up the house for an additional sitter to come--which is more than I expected. Very sweet and gentle with the pets, gave our girls two walks a day. We will gladly use Katelin again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Renton Highlands on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Renton Highlands walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Renton Highlands maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Renton Highlands choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
