“My shy cat Ollie thrives when he visits Kizzie! She thinks of everything for his well-being. I wish there were more Kizzies in this world - we would all be the better for it.”
“Sara was a great sitter. She was able to help us out in very short notice. Sara is very communicative and responsive to messages which is very helpful. Sara took wonderful care of our dog Pilly and was available for early pick up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doggy sitter.”
“Daisha and her husband were amazing!! My dog Xena does best in a household where she is the only dog and I’m so glad we found Daisha! We did a first introduction about a week or two before the dates booked so they could meet and get familiar with each other which went well. While Xena was boarded they sent pictures and updates at least once a day explaining how she was doing and adjusting. Thankfully Xena was comfortable and there were no problems but I’m certain if there was, we would be able to find a solution. Overall I am extremely happy I booked with Daisha and her husband and would definitely book again!!”
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.
“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!”
“This was my first time having my pup stay with strangers and I’m so pleased that I chose Maria & Kalyan to watch her for the day! They were quick to respond and set up a meet & greet the day before I wanted to book. I appreciate the opportunity to see if my dog got along with theirs. Throughout the day, Maria & Kalyan sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos to let me know how Luna was settling in. Thank you for treating her like your own and Luna opened up because of how patient, gentle, and kind they were to her. Thank you and I will definitely reach out again in the near future! ☺️”
“Best Rover Family ever! Two parents and their teens worked together to make their safe home and securely fenced yard inviting (welcome aboard greeting, clean and tidy). Happy “Bush Tails” throughout. Appreciated the simple timely & affectionate text & picture updates. punctual for drop off & pick up! Our 4-year old was happy throughout; relaxed and energetic when we picked her up.”
“This was the third time that Marina and Richard took care of Lucky while we were out of town and it worked out great as before! Drop off and pick up was smooth and they accommodated our times. We got daily photo updates and Lucky was well taken care of. We are glad to have found them for our dog boarding needs!”
“Luna and Winston had a great time with Daria. The two felt comfortable at her place from the moment they arrived. Daria updated their stay with pictures throughout the weekend — which was great seeing how relaxed they felt.”
“Jeff provided a great experience for our dog with some separation anxiety. He made sure our dog felt comfortably as soon as we got there and got him outside and moving. He was a happy dog when we picked him up.”
“Miriam took great care of Frodo and made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay with her. We received constant updates and she was very responsive to our questions / requests. We also appreciate her flexibility and kindness - especially when we were having challenges getting last minute arrangements due to a family emergency. Will definitely book her again!”
“Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Beth was responsive and very accommodating in every regard. Our dog seemed genuinely happy and calm while staying with Beth. Will definitely try and board our dog with Beth in the future. Thanks!”
“We’ve had two great stays with Joe! Bobbie and Kiko are officially buddies now, and it’s so fun knowing she has a friend to wrestle and play with. Joe is very responsive whenever I reach out, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Bobbie in his care. We’ve loved our experience and will definitely keep booking with Joe and Kiko!”
“Samantha did a great job with Mac for a 9 day visit! He returned home healthy and happy, and she kindly provided him toys which I forgot to pack. Since she has no pets of her own, Samantha is ideal for the dog who likes to be the "only child."”
“This is our 1st time using Quinten for boarding services. Everything went great! Our dog was happy, healthy and tired when we picked him up after 3 nights with Quinten. Quinten was extremely communicative: sending at updates via photo or video at least 2x/day while we were away keeping our mind at ease that our little guy was being well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Myra did a great job of taking care of my German Shepard. He came home happy and showed no signs of stress at all. Unlike when I have left him at a large boarding facility. Myra would be very good for your dog.”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be happier with how well Patricia and her family cared for my dog. He came home happy, well fed, and sounded like he had a great time. Appreciated the video of his stay too! Highly recommend and would absolutely use again.”
“This was our second time using Katie, and once again she was amazing with our dog! She was incredibly flexible and agreed to keep him longer than originally planned, even accommodating a last-minute change to our pickup time. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout his stay, which really gave me peace of mind knowing he was being so well taken care of. Jackie was happy and comfortable, and I truly felt at ease while he was with her. We’re so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and great care, and we would absolutely book with her again!”

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!

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 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.
