“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.”
“Natalia went above and beyond caring for my pets and home! We actually planned our 9 day vacation around her availability we love her so much! We have 2 beagles (1 is reactive) and 1 cat. All of our pets love her and she does well handling our reactive dog! Since this trip was extra long her husband and dog stayed a few nights too and my reactive dog liked her dog a lot! A couple days before our trip, our cat had some unexpected health issues and we had to give her 2 different meds, multiple times a day and different administering methods the entire time we were away but Natalia but put our minds at ease and was up for the challenge and kept us in the loop with how our cat was doing. She truly cares about the pets she sits as if they were her own! She always sends updates with photos/videos and leaves the house cleaner than when we left. We plan to move away this summer so this is likely the last time she will be sitting for us and I almost don't want to move so we can keep her as our sitter! We will miss her so much! If you are a 'type A' pet parent like myself and have a hard time leaving your fur babies then you will not regret booking with Natalia!”
“This was my first time using a stranger to take care of my dogs and I was a little nervous. However, Stephanie took great care of my two dogs. She sent lots of updates and daily photos. She was also very communicative and very respectful of our house. I would not hesitate to use Stephanie 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.”
“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!”
“Jen is amazing. She took great care of our dogs. Calming one down when I balloon landed in the back yard! She followed our instructions to the letter and even brought in our trash/recycling containers without being asked. She communicates and sends updates and pics, which we REALLY appreciate! We can enjoy our trips knowing Jen is with them!!!”
“Ashli was an absolutely incredible house-sitter for our (very) senior, mobility-challenged, black lab/border collie mix, Ajax. Quite literally the day we left for our five-day trip, Ajax—who is 15 ½ years old—took what appeared to be a turn for the worse. Yet Ashli was undeterred and not for one moment did she suggest we might find another sitter. When we returned, Ajax was in better shape than when we left him. Can one ask for anything more? Yet Ashli also did more! Because of Ajax’s condition, we did request more frequent updates than one might normally receive from a house or pet-sitter, and Ashli went above-and-beyond to provide them, along with pictures of him relaxing in various locations around the house. This put us at ease throughout our trip. Beyond that, Ashli communicated with us about different sorts of food combinations for Ajax, sat with him regularly, and cleaned up and washed any and all of the occasional mishaps -- effectively leaving the house, too, in better condition than when we left it. We might add that Ashli was also dealing with an extraordinarily difficult personal situation, which is precisely why she was compelled to cancel an earlier appointment (noted in a previous post). Given these circumstances—not to mention the challenges of caring for a senior dog with a near-endless list of special needs to which she had to adjust on the fly—we give Ashli the highest possible recommendation. We are ever so grateful for the care and kindness that Ashli showed to Ajax—and to us. Thank you!”
“I booked Chelsea for the first time to go on a camping trip where I wouldn’t have service. After meeting her I was super confident in her abilities to care for Benny and was not disappointed. Great communication through out the entire trip and I could tell Benny was enjoying his time with her. She left my place exactly how she found it and could tell Benny came away with another friend. I would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone 😊”
“Liz took wonderful care of my cat! Communication was great before and during the sit, and she provided lovely updates while I was away. Liz was very attentive and clearly cares about making pets feel comfortable!”
“Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.”
“Ali was great! She really came through and helped us last minute. She was caring of our senior pets and an effective communicator. Would definitely hire again for pet sitting!”
“Our first time with Kseniia and she was super respectful, honest, kind and great with the dogs. Respectful to our home and the boundaries she and us have. Recomend her with full confidence if you need someone!”
“Sara stayed with our Furs for the first time for four days. We have quite a crew with a cat needing daily medicine, a dog needing to be hand fed, and other quirky tasks as part of taking care our furry kids. Sara was excellent in completing all the little details and also thinking outside the box when issues happened - cat bringing in a dead bird, stubborn Shih Tzu refusing to eat, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Sara again. Thank you!!!!”
“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: With 29 years of experience in pet care and 8 years of hands-on professional work focused specifically on dogs and their hygiene needs, I bring a deep understanding of canine communication and behavior. I’m passionate about creating positive, stress-free experiences for every dog I meet, and it’s truly one of my life’s missions to help dogs feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply reassurance, your dog will always be treated with patience, love, and expert care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I often enjoy daily walks and love incorporating dog walks or runs into that time. This allows me to provide fun, engaging exercise for your dog. While you’re taking care of your commitments, I can ensure your pup gets the activity, attention, and fresh air they deserve. Your pet gets high-quality activity, and I get an enthusiastic outside buddy—it's a perfect match! I take safety and emotional well-being seriously. I’m highly aware of canine body language and individual preferences, and I tailor my approach to each dog’s needs. On walks, I use consistent safety measures such as shielding your dog from unfamiliar humans or animals and steering clear of potential stressors. My priority is creating an environment where your dog feels protected and understood—and where you can trust that their safety is always at the forefront.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with different schedules and can be flexible with drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I’m looking to take on as many pet care opportunities as I can! I take pet safety and comfort seriously and always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and keep pets in a clean, safe environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Renton Highlands
Natalia and Miguel were incredible! Our little guy Henry is a bit of a nervous Nelly, but they agreed to meet with us a couple of times before staying at our place while we were out of town and he took to them immediately. They took incredible care of both him and our home while we were gone, sending us videos and pictures daily and even going so far as to tidy our place and do the laundry before they left. We are usually super nervous when we travel because we miss our dog so much and are worried about him, but he was having a really good time with them and their dog Arya and had the biggest smiles on in all the pictures. It was a huge relief for us. We can't thank them enough for the care and attention they showed him. I'd highly recommend them!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Renton Highlands
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Renton Highlands on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,234 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Renton Highlands. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
