About: My home is conveniently located just 7 minutes from SeaTac Airport, making drop-off and pick-up easy for traveling pet parents. I have a corgi; she is very friendly to other animals. Spending time with animals brings me joy; they are everything to me since I don’t have children. My house has three floors, and each floor has its own entrance door to the backyard. If the dogs don’t get along, I can separate them. I also have a big fenced backyard where they can play. Check my pictures. This is my full-time job. I seldom leave the house!!! I can pay full attention to your pets. I will take the dogs out to the backyard for playtime and potty breaks every two hours and send you cute photos twice daily. I also provide grooming—just let me know! Our drop-off and pick-up schedule is 9am–9pm. Please send me your ETA each time when you’re on your way to my home in order to avoid any wait time. I will take your dog out. Do not knock on the door, ring the doorbell, or walk around the house, as that upsets all the visiting doggies. Thank you! Since we are close to the airport, you can park in my driveway for $5/day. Security cameras are on 24/7 in and around the house. Meet and greet with my dog is not required right now! Because my dog is going to be more interested in greeting humans, and your dog is in an unfamiliar environment, they may feel nervous and create a defensive response. When the owners are gone, there’s no more resource guarding, and everything will usually be much better! If you want to see the environment, I can send you a video. Please let me know if your dog has any fight or bite history! I don’t take aggressive dogs. But if they can’t get along, I will separate them. All pets I host must be current with vaccinations, including Bordetella. Please send me a copy of vaccinations before drop-off.
“Thank you for taking such great care of our dog Frank. He is a giant baby and we were a little worried leaving him for the first time but I didn't need to worry. I received regular updates, pictures and video. Thank you again.”
“Lesley did a great job watching my dalmatian Fika. Fika and Dulce became best friends. It was great that Fika got to enjoy Lesley’s entire family, and play inside and outside in their yard. I felt very comfortable with the care and look forward to Fika staying with Lesley again! I am a Rover employee.”
“I’ve never left my pups with anyone before but Ali has been so great! My Aussie who almost never let anyone pet him, has already warmed up to her. She’s very responsive and sends lots of picture which is great for a nervous Nelly like me! Happy she’ll be watching my boys when im on my 3 week vacay !”
About: Growing up with a dog, I’ve always wanted another pet. This is the next best thing, taking care of the dogs of others! Although I have limited recent experience, I will treat your pets with care as if they are my own. I also have recently grown my love for cats, as my partner has several. I am currently a graduate student who works at the University of Washington during most of the week, but my schedule is flexible! There are in person and remote aspects to my work. I am pretty adaptable to any home environment, and will give your pet the attention they may need or want. They will be fed, played with, walked, and shown lots of love, of course!
“Fiona is simply amazing! I felt confident leaving my pup in her care for the long weekend. She is very communicative and asked questions that allowed her to best care for my pup. I 100% recommend booking Fiona, she is a pleasure to work with!”
“Sourabh took great care of Veeru. He send daily updates and pictures. My dog seemed to get along well with them and their pets. They took care of Veeru like their own dog evident from the pics. Veeru was definitely loved and spoiled. I had to make a modification to the itinerary after 5 days and he was extremely accommodating. Highly recommended Sourabh to care for you fur baby. Bonus point for house with back yard and for working from home so he was always able to keep an eye on veeru.”
“Alejandra was amazing with our high energy puppy. She was gentle but also firm and shared many pictures and stories through the days. She was able to handle him nicely and also do what was best for him, we can tell our pup had a blast during these days. Highly recommended!”
“Kizzie was an amazing sitter! She sent daily photo and video updates and it felt like my cat was able to have her own vacation while I was away. I would definitely recommend boarding your pets with Kizzie and plan to do so again when I go away on longer travel in the future.”
“We had such a great experience with Mrs.Hong. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the very beginning that she truly cared about my dog and treated him like family, not just a booking. Jax came home happy and clearly well-loved. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that he was in great hands. I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely loves dogs.”
“Claudia took such great care of our pup while we were traveling, it was great knowing she was in such good hands while we were away. We'll definitely be back!”
“Daisha and Tam were great sitters for our dogs. They were well cared for and safe, got plenty of outside time and snuggles, and we got picture updates every day. We will definitely book with Daisha and Tam in the future. Highly recommended dog sitters!”
“Quinten and his wife took wonderful care of our Elle. We could see from the many videos and pictures that Elle was treated like family and that she loved being there. We were at peace during our overseas trip that our pup was in good hands.”
“They did a great job taking care of our two dogs. They took pictures, walked them and communicated daily. Highly recommend and would use their house sitting service again, great family!”
“I’m a repeat client and always very happy with the care my pet receives! The sitter is responsible and kind. My dog feels comfortable and happy every time, and I always get updates and photos while I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Maria and Kalyan went above and beyond taking care of our dog. They provided so many updates, belly scratches and walks we couldn’t recommend them more to anyone looking for a boarder. Thanks again!!”
“Tamar is responsive in answering my inquiry and questions. We are very happy with the accommodation and care Sunny received and the updates/pictures Tamar sent during our 8 days absence. ”
“Wanqing and her husband were excellent with my pup! I am visiting from out of the area and she accepted my last minute booking as I was planning a hiking trip to Mt. Rainier (where most of the hikes are not dog friendly). She was attentive to my dog and took him on several walks and even to the dog park. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent pictures and videos! Kado left happy and tired! Will definitely rebook if I am in the area again.”
Tukwila dog parents share their Rover experiences
Deborah was amazing with DD. From the moment he arrived, she was patient, kind, and attentive to his needs. She sent lots of updates and photos every day, and I loved reading her observations about DD’s personality and little habits. It was clear that she took the time to understand him and help him feel comfortable in a new environment. Knowing DD was safe, cared for, and loved while we were away made our trip so much more enjoyable. We are very grateful for Deborah’s care and would happily book with her again. Thank you, Deborah!
Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Flossie, during an 8-night boarding stay while we were out of town in Florida. From the very first message, Taylor was kind, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly reassuring. You can genuinely tell she has a heart for animals and creates a calm, loving environment for them. She kept us updated consistently with photos and messages throughout the trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Flossie clearly became comfortable very quickly — cuddling on the couch, relaxing under blankets, going on walks, and getting lots of love and attention. Taylor even figured out a little trick to help with Flossie’s picky eating while away from home, and it worked perfectly! What stood out most was how attentive and caring she was. Flossie wasn’t treated like “just another dog” — she was cared for like family. Taylor was patient during the adjustment period, incredibly responsive, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our sweet girl in her care. Her home was calm, clean, and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the individualized attention Flossie received with no other pets in the home during her stay. I would absolutely trust Taylor again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, reliable, and genuinely loving pet care. Thank you again, Taylor, for taking such amazing care of our girl 🤍🐾
Can’t express my gratitude enough to Olivia and Jason for being so reliable helpful kind and loving with Remy! I literally gave birth this weekend and dropped off Remy who currently needs a bunch of scheduled meds and cream and cone of shame time. Felt 10000% confident that I didn’t need to worry about any of it while I had my big life event- Olivia and Jason took care of all of her needs. And Olivia even gave me some thoughtful postpartum gifts while she was at it- THANK YOU!! 🥹
Tony was great! She was close by and had a big fenced yard with no kids and no pets just like I requested. Sugaree had a rough early life that resulted in some anxiety issues. Tony knew just what to do to help her feel comfortable for a long 2 week stay. She provided updates and photos regularly so I wouldn’t worry and had no problem when I had to pick Sugaree up a bit late. Highly recommended!!
Sara was great, really wanted to make sure that our guys would be comfortable and did a walk through before a long weekend. One of our boys had a little tummy ache while there and Sara called immediately and gave me the details. I appreciated her approach and communication!
Sojeong and her husband are the best and sweetest dog sitters!! They were so attentive and kind to our pepper girl, and she was so happy. They went above and beyond, and pepper was sad to come home to us lol!! We are so grateful for dog sitters that love our pup like we do! Thanks guys!
Chuk and her partner did a great job at caring for my elderly dog and all her needs including assembling and heating up her special diet multiple times a day. I’m so grateful they were able to help care for her so that I could attend my long time friend’s wedding. I received so many photos and videos, it really helped put me at ease while I was away from my sweet baby.
