About: I have always been an animal lover. That early love for animals led to a 15 year career as a zookeeper taking care of all kinds of animals. I was also a veterinary assistant for 3 years. I have experience with (and am comfortable caring for) birds, reptiles, invertebrates, aquatics, and all sorts of mammals. I am comfortable giving medications and subQ fluids if needed. I'm also a confident trainer and more than happy to work on behaviors with your pets. I'm currently a stay at home mom but my little one has started preschool so I have a fair amount of free time during the days. I'm excellent at following directions and will offer your fur baby the highest level of care in your home and on walks. I am happy to feed, change waters, clean litter boxes, and provide play time.
“Savonne was a fantastic sitter for my dog. She followed instructions perfectly. She was very communicative, and also easy going. My Haru was a very happy girl when I came back to her. I would request again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and loved taking care of them, and taking care of friends and family members legs while they are away. At any social gathering, you can find me snuggled up with the dog or cat, or talking to the bird or fish. I have a strong passion for taking care of animals and catering to their specific needs. I’m available before 7 am and after 6 pm on weekdays! Weekends are more open. I am full time employed Monday - Friday 8 am - 5 pm which can make it difficult to pay your furry friend a visit outside of weekends. I would still love to before 8 and after 5 if that’s flexible with you! I work out of Redmond and live in Renton. I have cared for dogs that require medications as well as my own kitty that has had special needs in the past. I will try my best to make sure your pet is as comfy as can be while you’re away!
“Yu was amazing I would definitely recommend and will be using him again! He was very responsive and attentive to our pups while we were out of town! He went above and beyond of what we asked of him every time he dropped in to check on our dogs I would 100% recommend Yu to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Maura was fantastic! She was very communicative and I really appreciated her flexibility when my travel plans changed last minute. My cat can get lonely and anxious when I'm gone and she was in such good spirits when I returned. Maura's visits made Juniper feel comfortable and cared for and it was wonderful to know she was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Maura!”
“Xiaotong was great! She was very responsive and reliable. We appreciated that she was able to come for a meet and greet at the last minute and then took good care of our cats when we were gone.”
About: Hi, I’m Jamie! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember—I’ve had both cats and dogs over the years and have cared for pets through every stage of life, from wiggly puppies to senior pets needing extra love. Along the way, I’ve picked up experience in training, end-of-life care, and reading pet body language to make sure every animal feels safe and understood. I work from home full-time and also run my own business, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets. That means I can be there when you need someone reliable, whether it’s for walks, check-ins, or extra cuddles. My goal is always simple: to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they’re part of my own family. At home, I have two dogs and a cat—each with their own quirks and personalities—so I know firsthand how important it is to follow specific instructions and give each animal the attention they need. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home and I own my own business so I am able to make my own schedule which gives me some flexibility when it comes to offering pet care. My goal is always to make sure animals feel comfortable with me and I am comfortable with following specific care instructions. I have 2 dogs and a cat at home who all have very different personalities and needs.
“Shelli was able to fill my last minute request and I’m so grateful! She’s a great communicator and was patient and engaging with my shy dog. I would book with Shelli again!”
“Chase was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She was very thorough with making sure that our 2 cats were not only fed, but entertained and loved while we were away. We received daily reports along with pictures. Chase made us feel very secure that our home and our babies were in good hands. I will be recommending Chase to all of my friends in the area when they need a pet sitter! Our girl Cinder is already missing Chase, and our boy Arthur at least came out for a showing when he normally runs and hides. THANK YOU CHASE!!!”
“We booked with Mik a little last minute a week before our two week international trip when our initial sitter was a no show for a meet and greet, and we are so glad we did! Mik was professional, and excellent communicator, and was very flexible working together with a family member who was also caring for our pets; especially when new challenges came up (our cat was hospitalized the weekend before we left for a urinary blockage). She was awesome at interacting with our pets at the level they were comfortable with, and I could tell that they became buds by the end of our trip! ☺️ We also appreciated all of the pictures and details we were given during her home visits, as well as how Mik put in the effort to provide engagement and stimulation for our pets on a variety of ways. I would definitely recommend booking with her, and we hope to do so again in the future!”
“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy for drop in care. She even let our other less needy dog out and spent some time training the puppy during the visits. We plan to request her again for drop in and overnight care. Very pleased!”
About: Been a pet owner in some form since age 7, worked at a dog day care in Edmonds facility for 5 years and I am the go-to for all my friends and family for pet care when they are away. I'm very good at reading cats and dogs, adore spending time with them and love the exercise that comes with walks. I am currently a student taking night classes, I have open availability all week especially in the daytime but am open to night walks that work with my school schedule! Currently only have class Monday and Wednesday starting at 6pm. I have dog and cat sat in the past for various neighbors and friends, always respectful will spend as little or as much time as the home as you want!
About: I’m a gentle and active pet lover with lifelong experience caring for animals. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and have grown up with pets, including cats, a Doberman, and another Aussie, so I’m comfortable with many breeds and personalities. I love staying active with dogs and understand how important both physical exercise and mental stimulation are. I enjoy walks, playtime, and enrichment activities that keep dogs happy, balanced, and well-behaved. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique needs and routines. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. Weekdays I am available early mornings to afternoon until 4 pm. Weekends: depending, case by case basis. Sundays after 12 pm. Please write in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their routine closely, ensure they are always supervised, and adjust care based on their needs. I provide a calm, positive environment and keep your home clean and respected while caring for your pet. I also make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation through safe, engaging activities.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Renton
Aidan spent extra time during the drop-in visit to ensure that my dogs had a long potty break and outside time. The Rover card was comprehensive and included lots of photos. Aidan followed my instructions for their care perfectly. I highly recommend them. I will be booking with them again the next time I need a sitter.
Thank you so much for taking care of Lucy and bearing with our questionable communication during such a busy time for us— it was such a relief to know she had someone so attentive and thorough taking care of her! We really appreciate you, and will be reaching out in the future next time we need care for her.
McKenzie has been watching our pets for almost a year now, and she is the best! She continues to go above and beyond for our animals and truly does care. We’ve had many times where last minute visits are needed and she is great at accommodating. Thank you as always, McKenzie!
Fei was absolutely amazing. She was super flexible, incredibly friendly, and truly wonderful with our pups. From the moment she met them, it was clear she genuinely cares and knows how to make dogs feel comfortable, happy, and loved (even my grumpy old dog, Chance). Honestly… I almost don’t want to recommend her to anyone else because my dogs want her all to themselves 😅🐶 But if you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll quickly see why we trust her completely. Couldn’t recommend her more.

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 Renton 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.
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 Renton 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Renton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
