“We had a last minute trip come up and Brendan was available on short notice to stop in a few times. He’s punctual and follows all instructions. Most importantly, he’s wonderful with our cats and birds!”
“When April first started sitting for us we had two cats. Now, courtesy of the bountiful cat distribution system, we have five. Our most recent addition was still being separated when valentines weekend rolled around and we needed a sitter. April was fantastic with all five of our fur babies, including feeding and playing with Thomas, who was separated from the others. The boxes were scooped, wet food distributed, and cats played with. We couldn’t ask for more. April is great!”
“Laura was amazing with our kitty Caboose. She made friends with our stubborn girl immediately, which I’ll admit totally surprised me as Caboose isn’t always appreciative of strangers. Seeing the daily photos and videos made our family happy to see that Caboose was comfortable and well taken care of while we were gone. I’ll definitely be hoping to have her take care of our kitty again when we go away.”
“Lynn is friendly and communicative. She took great care of our cat, including giving him meds. Her daily updates helped us relax, knowing our baby was doing well and in good hands.”
“Couldn't be happier with Mashayla dropping in on my pets to feed them and send me pictures! It definitely put my mind at ease knowing someone was going to be there to care for my animals. Thanks again Mashayla!”
“As always Rachel did a great job checking in on our shy cats. Each day I was confident our babies were in good hands. She is great at communication, follows all instructions, and genuinely seems to have a good heart. Hope we can use her services whenever we are out town.”
“Patrick went above and beyond in caring for our three dogs - we came home to happy and relaxed dogs. The dogs absolutely adore him and he definitely is the dog whisperer in caring for large dogs that are rescues and have some quirks.”
About: I grew up always having a dog(s), and started walking friends and families dogs when I was around 8 years old. I have experience handling dogs of various sizes (2lb - 140lb) and ages (0-15). I’ve also trained two dogs starting when they were 4 months: one was a pitbull and the other a plott hound. I am currently home from college, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available mornings, midday and evenings, 7 days a week for your doggos! At home I have a 4 year old plott hound that has access to a fenced in yard and three walks a day. My cat gets free roam of the house (of course).
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!
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.
About: I have experience caring for friends' dogs, as well my previous Retriever mix Lucky. I had her for 13 years from her energetic puppy years to a senior who needed a lot of attention and medication. My home is missing a set of paws walking around it now and I have a very flexible schedule until I leave for a new job in August. I look forward to getting in touch! I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of free time for your pups! In a typical week I will only leave the house for a few hours at a time for a couple reoccurring appointments on Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around and play. There is a lot of open space in my home and air conditioning to keep everyone cool. I enjoy varying levels of activity from going on runs or walks, to chilling on the couch.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Renton
Brendan was nothing short of incredible! He took exceptional care of our kitties and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of our kitties requires three daily medications and Brendan did such a good job administering them. We will absolutely rebook Brendan the next time we’re out of town.
Emily took such good care of our three kitties! She was thorough, communicative, responsive, and dedicated. She put so much time and care into ensuring our cats followed their routines. One cat needed medication administered, and another needed extra attention due to a recent medical event, and Emily went above and beyond for them. We are so grateful and strongly recommend Emily!
Shuyao has been such a wonderful sitter for my two cats, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave them. She was able to give medicine to my older cat with no issues, and she made sure both of my cats got lots of play time, attention, and love during her visits. I really appreciated all the photo updates too. It was comforting seeing how happy and relaxed my cats looked with her. She was also very communicative and thoughtful throughout the stay. Whenever something came up, like my cat throwing up, she let me know right away and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I would absolutely book with her again!
Reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! I know my kitty is in good hands with June (Hong). She is very flexible and takes plenty of photos. I appreciate the extra steps she takes to maintain a clean and tidy space as well as the attention and care she provides for my cat while I am away!
Fei was incredibly communicative and so sweet with our cats. She is clearly a lover of animals, and I felt immediately comfortable having her take care of our two kitties for a week while we were gone. She sent regular pictures and seemed to get to know their personalities quite quickly, she asked great questions on our walk-through and I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 12,638 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Renton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Renton. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
