“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!”
“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!”
“Mashayla took care of our elderly cat for several days. She was very friendly and took great care of our cat. I plan to book with her again the next time we go out of town!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kizzie was amazing with our cat for the week that we were out of town. Very responsible, communicative, and sincerely caring for your pet. Detailed updates every day.”
“Grace has been fantastic with my variety of pets! I feel so much better while traveling knowing they are in good hands. I would definitely recommend Grace to friends and family.”
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.
“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!”
“I'm so thankful Nhu is one of our regulars. She's been so helpful and really cares about my pups. Recently I asked for a very last minute drop-in visit when my pup got sick--she was so accommodating and made it work into her schedule, stayed longer than she needed to, and even cleaned up his accidents. She provides updates after her drop-in visits which I really appreciate as well :) Thanks Nhu!”

We’ve used Kaelyn multiple times for drop-ins with our two cats. We’ll continue to book her every time we can! Kaelyn excels at photos and updates to let you know your fur family is doing fine, which takes so much stress off of being away from home. She’s the best.
Excellent communication, clear booking, and amazing pet care. Top notch photos of generally difficult to photograph void kitty. So thankful for Shuyao. Our cat was depressed and stopped eating the first couple days we were gone but she managed to lift his spirits and he (notoriously picky) was laying and sleeping in her lap by the end of the visit. He was healthy and happy when we came back and I’m so thankful for how well he was taken care of. Pictures and updates let us know how he was doing and of his meals. Highly recommend. Greatly appreciate her!
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.
Laura took great care of my two kitties as well as kept the plants alive and the mailbox from looking like the place had been abandoned. I didn't ask her to but she watered the garden, as well. I could tell that the cats liked her which was the most important, and she kept me in the loop with great communication and pictures along the way. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Renton on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,015 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.
