About: Hi there my name is Katie and I’ve been pet sitting/ housesitting for about 8 years now. I love what I do and I go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of your pet(s) and home. Not only do I provide top quality care and lots of cuddles and love for your pet(s) but I also bring in packages and mail, do walks, water any plants, take trash and recycle out to the curb, give plenty of updates with pictures if requested, and finally I will leave your home better, than when I first arrived. Im still available for housesitting this Christmas and I’m still available for housecalls so I would reach out soon to make sure that your home base is covered while you are away! Thank you to everyone ☺️ I will have the capability to work around the needs and wants that you have for your animals because I’m self employed with the ability to design my own schedule. I’ve been doing this for a long time and one thing I know is to go by the comfort level of the pets. Lots of times I’ve worked with rescue dogs who have a hard time meeting new people. In cases like those I follow the dogs lead. I am in their space, therefore trust must be built, some more slowly but in the end, I aim to keep everyone safe and happy.

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym.

About: I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. With plenty of free time, i’d love to dedicate it to walking, playing, and caring for dogs as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for Huskies, Poodles, and German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable with both energetic breeds and gentle companions. I am currently retired and have plenty of time to play to spend with your companions. My preferred hours are between noon-8pm but can certainly be flexible. I cannot host at this time; however, I am happy to bring your pets over for a little rest bream as needed. Home has a yard and fenced property

About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Thanksgiving: available in Seattle! Hello! I'm Deanna. I'm passionate about cultural exchange and managed study abroad programs for a long time before shifting into Project Management. I've also lived abroad for 3 + years, two years in Spain and one year in Brazil (plus extended sojourning in Chile and Guatemala).​ I grew up outside of Yosemite National Park which was a great foundation for a love for being outdoors. I enjoy yoga, learning, and exploring! I've cared for many dogs and cats, as well as rodents and a bearded dragon! My initial experience was caring for my childhood dog, cats, hamster, and rats. In recent years, I've cared for dogs and cats of friends and acquaintances, as well as guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I've done quite a few sits on other pet sitting sites in the last couple years, below are a few reviews: Jennifer: Deanna’s calm and friendly demeanor immediately set my dog Max at ease. She sent daily photos and text updates that clearly showed he was a happy pup while I was away. The house was clean and tidy upon my return. I highly recommend Deanna! Desiree & Andy: Deanna was an excellent sitter for our dog Minnie. She sent pictures of the 2 of them going on adventures all over the place! We were very happy with the care Minnie got and we would definitely ask Deanna to housesit again! She is responsible, a good communicator, and an all around nice person. Trisha: Deanna was absolutely wonderful to work with for a sit with my two dogs. She was thoughtful and planful leading up to the sit and communicated well throughout. The dogs were happy and the home was clean when I returned from my trip! I would love to have Deanna sit anytime. I'm currently working remotely and have flexibility to navigate your existing schedule with your pets around my work schedule during the week. Weekends offer additional flexibility. I know how important it is to find someone who will care well for your pet and take good care of your home! I do my best to give the pets as much care and attention as possible and leave the home in order as well.

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that caring for dogs is a full-time commitment. My experience ranges from managing active outdoor dogs to raising and training new additions to the pack. I specialize in teaching foundational behaviors and ensuring every dog feels confident and secure in their surroundings. ​I am dedicated to creating a safe, structured environment where your pet can thrive. Whether it’s managing high energy or providing a calm space for relaxation, I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I’ve practiced since childhood. Pet care is a natural and seamless part of my daily life. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings or evenings. Whether I am hosting at my place or visiting yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and consistent routine that minimizes stress for your pet. Regardless of the location, I emphasize clear communication and will send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is settling in.

About: I have been a dog person since birth! I love all and any dogs. I had my own for 18 years and since his passing have been actively fostering dogs with different rescue organizations. I’d consider myself well experienced with four legged friends. I have a fenced in yard and love to lay or play. I am a nanny as well so I am caring and patient. People say I am reliable and punctual. I will snuggle, take naps, run around the yard, and just pet the daylight out of your pup. I have experience with gentle leaders, prong collars, putting on harnesses, crate training, reactive dogs, and muzzles. I feel confident I can take care of your family member when you are away at work or vacation or just need a little break :) I am currently taking time off work so my schedule is open! Available during the day for walks or day care or overnights or drop ins :) I have a fenced in yard. I have crates at my house already in all different sizes and dog beds and dog toys since I foster dogs I follow the rules of the pet owner, but I allow dogs on my furniture and in my bed so if the pet owner allows, the pet is more than welcome to snuggle :-)

I have experience with puppies and old dogs, love going on long walks and playing with them on the park. I can also provide assistance administering medication if it’s required. I am very good setting boundaries between the dog and myself to make sure they will listen and that way is easier to keep them safe. I will give updates about the dogs if requested including pictures and I will always make sure your beloved pet is having a great time !

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, horses, lizards, frogs, chickens, and goats. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine. I truly love animals and treat every pet with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in good hands! Pet care is already a regular part of my daily life! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and overnight boarding in my home. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. Whether your pet is staying in my home, joining me for daycare, or receiving a visit or walk, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions, respect their pet’s routines, and pay close attention to their individual needs and personalities. I’m also happy to provide updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

I honestly don’t even know where to start! Kseniia was absolutely amazing with Kya! Her communication, attention to detail, and genuine care for Kya were unlike anything I’ve experienced with other sitters on Rover. From the very beginning, she kept me updated, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood Kya’s needs so she could provide the best possible care. She followed every instruction carefully, paid attention to even the smallest details, and consistently went above and beyond what was expected of her. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Kya and treated her as if she were her own. I can’t recommend Kseniia enough! If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, responsible, attentive, and truly dedicated to your pet’s well-being, look no further. Kseniia is an exceptional sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care and love she gave Kya!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Renton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Renton is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 12,202 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Renton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Renton. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
