“2nd time leaving my cat with Kizzie and another fantastic stay! My cat remembered Kizzie, Moco, and her place right away and seemed to have a blast the entire time I was gone. Will keep coming back to Kizzie if I ever need a sitter!”
“Sara is everything you would want for care of your fur babies. She is kind, caring and communicative. Sara took the best care of my pup Frida at short notice. Thank you Sara 💗💗💗”
“Molly was wonderful and we would absolutely recommend her services to anyone who wants to rest assured that their fur babies are well cared for. We reached out less than a week before a trip that we weren’t sure we would be able to take. She was flexible both with our last minute booking and a meet and greet to ensure a good fit. While our two dogs were with her we received daily pictures and updates; we loved seeing what a good time they had! We will definitely reach out again for future dog sitting needs :)”
About: I am a lifelong dog lovers and work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with one well-trained Weimaraner, age 5, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, exercise, and enrichment, and genuinely enjoy spending time training and engaging with dogs of all personalities. My home also includes our respectful 9-year-old child, creating a warm, family-oriented environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm routine, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Live right across the street from the SeaTac botanical gardens with many trails to go on adventures and get exercise. Just a minute away from SeaTac Airport. Work from home, and have plenty of time to play and give your pups attention throughout the day. Love going on walks after work at 3:30pm I have a fenced yard with plenty of room, and a friendly pup to keep yours company, love training, walking and cuddle time and can crate them if needed.
“Jassem took really great care of my dog, who is fearful and has seperation anxiety, but still Jassem managed to make him at ease and was very caring and communicative. Would definitely recommend his services and he would definitely be my first choice next time i'm out of town.”
“Carl is an amazing sitter! Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and I could tell our boy was very comfortable and having a great time while we were gone. Carl’s space is fantastic for any pets, our dog loved being there. I will absolutely reach out to Carl first in the future for any sitting needs.”
“Kristen sent us daily photos logging Chloe's day of being spoiled. She had multiple walks everyday and even got to lick the spoon with her food on it. There were pics of her getting belly rubs, cuddling on the sofa, sunbathing, and helping with a puzzle. We noticed Chloe seemed to miss Kristen and her family when she got home. Chloe has been asking for walks after meals and wants more attention. We will definitely book again!”
“We feel so happy and confident in Marina and Richard’s time with Remi. The pictures are always the best part of our trip - they are so good and cute! We’re glad Remi and their children get along and glad to hear she listens to them when they give her instructions. Remi is always so tired when she gets home after playing all day at their place! They are always super communicative and flexible - we’re grateful to have someone we’re so comfortable with in watching Remi!”
“They took such good care of Daisy, they sent a ton of pictures and videos every day and it was clear that she was having a blast! I will definitely be using them again.”
“Shay is kind and a great communicator. She sent pictures every day. Lily had a great time watching the birds and squirrels in Shay’s yard. I could tell Lily felt comfortable and she had such a great time, she didn’t really even want to come home!😂”
“Sarah communicated well, was responsive, flexible, and overall did a great job taking care of our dog. She provided updates at regular intervals. We appreciated that she was able to give our dog his medications when needed as well. We were very happy with our boarding experience and would happily board our dog with her again.”
“Yuliia took excellent care of our playful 70-pound goldendoodle during our 10-night travel. She regularly sent us photographs, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely hire her again for our future travels.”
“Yuna and her husband gave my kitty such loving attention and love throughout his stay. Lots of updates and making sure he’s as comfortable as can be. We’ll definitely be back!❤️”
“Chantal was gentle and caring with my tiny Pom, Boba. He got some exercise and good quality outdoor time with her. She was very curious about everything Boba so that she could give him the best stay possible. Happy to have found her on Rover since she lives in my neighborhood and Boba is used to the quiet streets.”
“We recently moved to the area, knowing that we had a 2-week trip coming up that we would not be able to take the dogs with us on. On. We are beyond grateful for the way that Jillian and her whole family took care of our pups. They got to go for hikes, they were doted on and snuggled with, and we got so many photos of their adventures while we were gone! It gave us such peace of mind to know how loved they were, especially by someone they had only met once before at the meet & greet. We will absolutely be booking with Jillian again, and we cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“Myra has been such a joy to communicate with and her home is perfect for my two pups when I go out of town! Her fully fenced yard, cozy cottage filled with toys and dog beds has quickly become Shelby and Twyla’s home away from home. Very thankful to have found Myra and a sitter that I feel confident in when I have to leave my fur babies.”
“Cynthia and Nikolas have watched Sonny multiple times, and they are wonderful! Communication, drop off, and pickup are always super easy. Sonny always has a great time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Jermaine was great! It was my first time using this service. My dog Sassy stayed a total of nine nights. I had peace of mind knowing she was being taken care of while I was away. I received daily photos which was great. I will definitely book again. Thanks Jermaine for taking care of my Sassy.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Qillian! She truly saved our rears by stepping in at the very last minute to care for our two dogs. She was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and easy to work with from the very beginning. Her communication was phenomenal! She was extremely responsive and sent tons of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. What could have been a very stressful situation turned into such a positive experience thanks to her kindness and flexibility. We are beyond grateful for Qillian and would absolutely trust her with our pups again. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Our boy is a nervous pup, but Isabella took the best care of him. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, ate his meals, and successfully took all his meds. He got great walks, but was also more than happy to just be a comfy couch potato with her. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Isabella was also great with communication, prompt with responses, and sent updates and photos as requested. Highly recommend!
Andrea was very flexible with our times and great at communicating. I appreciated her sending a picture of my dogs. Although I would have loved to see more pics and hear how they were doing and adjusting, but overall grateful for the care and time she gave. I would come back again!
Rya is such an animal lover who was absoluyely amazing with my small poodle mix, Rachel. She is a 5 yr old rescue that I have only had 6 months and she has some separation/anxiety issues, so I was worried about leaving her...but Rya quickly won her trust. Rya sent updates and was EXCELLENT with communication and sending pictures regularly. I highly recommend her. I know I will use her again!
Tosha was soooooo wonderful with my quirky little bull terrier, Tor. She was super thorough at our initial meet and greet and took such good care of him while I was out of town. He likely got more exercise than when he is home with me :) she sent daily updates and very cute photos! Thank you thank you Tosha! 💖
Mylyn took such great care of our old pug. He’s almost 13 years old, has one eye and mostly cannot hear. He has regular medication needs as well. She sent us updates everyday we were gone and always a photo. We were gone two weeks and we did not worry once about him. We would highly recommend Mylyn and her excellent and attentive care. Also, our other care fell through a week out from our trip and she took us on short notice which we so appreciated. We will use her again when we travel! We highly recommend her especially for an older dog.
Natalie and her family watched my two Pomeranians for a week and half. My dogs were given so much love and attention it was like they were on vacation too. I was able to be worry free while away knowing Natalie was taking care of my two girls. She followed all care instructions and kept me updated with pics. I definitely recommend Natalie!

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
92% of sitters in Tukwila can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tukwila home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Tukwila.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tukwila. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
You and your Tukwila sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
