“Mckenzie was the absolute best dog sitter we could have asked for. She checked in every day, giving not only a detailed update on August but also beautiful photos as well! She took great care with our house and left it spotless. We hope to have the opportunity to use her services again as our house and dog were taken such good care of. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip free of worry.”
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”
“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.”
“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 was wonderful. Kind, patient, very communicative, and attentive to our tricky dogs. A difficult situation came up between them while we were away and Stephanie could not have handled it better. She put us at ease and we were able to rest easy and enjoy our time away.”
“Ali did a great job watching our dogs. She provided excellent updates and had great communication throughout the stay. The dogs loved her and we would definitely book with her again”
“Julie was fantastic! She was wonderful with our 6 month old. She sent photos during the sit. She even changed locations when our lodging fell through and we had to move to a hotel! We were so grateful for her flexibility and understanding. We would certainly recommend her as a sitter!!”
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.
“Alex was the perfect weekend buddy for our two pitbull mixes. They showed up right on time for the meet and greet, and seemed happy and patient to be around the dogs. During the pet sitting, we received several updates and dog photos which we always appreciate. We came back to our home exactly how we had left it. We would definitely book Alex again, and would recommend them to others as well!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jayce instantly had a connection with our girls and a calming effect on both of them. Such a relief having someone dependable to watch them, in our home, while we are out of town. I fully recommend Jayce.”
“Eric was fabulous! All our pets received great attention. Instructions were followed. He communicated with texts and pictures daily. Our pets and home were well cared for! I’ll definitely hire Eric again!!”
“Great experience having Ashli watch my dog and my cats. She was communicative, friendly took great care of them, and when I came home they were fed and happy - what more can you ask for? I’d be so happy to have her watch my pets again next time!”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Took care of our cat and two dogs for the second time this year! Really considerate and great attention to detail! Also really responsive and easy to communicate! Leaves the house sparkling clean!”

Emily house-sat for us while caring for my special-needs dog and cat, and she did an amazing job! Both of my girls required medication, and Emily was incredibly organized and attentive. She carefully documented their medication schedule, as well as my dog’s poop schedule. She also did a wonderful job communicating throughout the day, sending pictures and regular updates so we always knew how the girls were doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. We will definitely be using Emily again in the future to watch our girls! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. ❤️🐾

Briana was amazing! She agreed to come by for a short visit before the booked time to meet George and get a walkthrough of his needs and the space, she was super friendly and kind and listened to my rambling list of things to know to take care of George. While I was gone, she sent frequent updates with pictures and descriptions of how he’d been and how they’d played together. George was happy and healthy when I came home and I’m so grateful that she kept him company and took care of him.
Chase was a fantastic sitter for our anxious Boxer Duke. We had a last-minute request, and her communication and accommodation were top notch. Our meet and greet the day of was effortless and comfortable, with Chase asking all the right questions and immediately bonding with our boy. We had to leave before her arrival, and she updated us both when she arrived and before she left.
Brendan was an absolute rockstar with our Siberian Husky, Loki! We had been searching for over 6 months to find the perfect match, and Brendan exceeded every expectation. He was immaculate, professional, and clearly loves dogs. From the detailed daily updates, we could tell Loki had a fantastic 4th of July stay. Brendan started the day with an early morning walk, handled breakfast and playtime, took him on a big trail loop walk, and kept up multiple outings throughout the day (including a shorter one in the afternoon). He even gave Loki his fireworks medication proactively and planned a final potty break before heading out—such thoughtful care during a stressful holiday for pups! Beyond the excellent dog care, Brendan went above and beyond by washing the sheets, making the bed, and leaving the house looking spotless. (And no worries about those fitted sheet folding skills—haha—we appreciated it so much!) Everything was perfect when we returned. We’re already looking forward to having Brendan watch Loki again at the end of the month. If you’re in the area and need a reliable, caring sitter who truly gets it, book Brendan without hesitation. He’s a gem! Highly recommend
Katie was seriously the best. 🥹 It was so clear how much she genuinely loved spending time with Indi, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, gave Indi so much love and attention, and treated her like she was her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. You can tell Katie truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful we found her. Looking forward to rebooking again in a heartbeat and honestly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Katie! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Renton on Rover is $53.5 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 8,300 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Renton. 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 Renton 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 Renton 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 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!
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.
