About: Hi, I'm Alec. I've had pets from fish, turtles, chickens, and ducks to dogs. I care about animals very much so your pet will recieve the best treatment. Outside of animals I enjoy anything that involves being around my friends and family. I work remotely so I’m able to be able to be available whenever you are in need of some help, my schedule is mainly free as long as im able to work for a couple hours at 6am. I care for pets in my home or others based on the needs of the animal, usually they can indicate some type of communication that I’m able to cater to their issues, as well as follow anything told by the owner.
“We are so glad that we met this dream team! They care for our doggo, are right on time, communicative and they send great pics. They’re clearly comfortable around dogs and help calm our anxious girl. Thank you Tyler and Alexis!”
About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that caring for dogs is a full-time commitment. My experience ranges from managing active outdoor dogs to raising and training new additions to the pack. I specialize in teaching foundational behaviors and ensuring every dog feels confident and secure in their surroundings. I am dedicated to creating a safe, structured environment where your pet can thrive. Whether it’s managing high energy or providing a calm space for relaxation, I treat every dog with the same level of care and attention I’ve practiced since childhood. Pet care is a natural and seamless part of my daily life. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, rather than just in the mornings or evenings. Whether I am hosting at my place or visiting yours, my priority is maintaining a safe and consistent routine that minimizes stress for your pet. Regardless of the location, I emphasize clear communication and will send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is settling in.
About: Hello my name is Rebeca and I am a very energetic and reliable individual that will always make sure your pet is safe and well loved, I had my first dog when I was 10 and I have always been an animal lover! I have experience with puppies and old dogs, love going on long walks and playing with them on the park. I can also provide assistance administering medication if it’s required. I am very good setting boundaries between the dog and myself to make sure they will listen and that way is easier to keep them safe. I will give updates about the dogs if requested including pictures and I will always make sure your beloved pet is having a great time !
About: I have extensive, hands-on experience across the entire developmental spectrum, from neonate kittens requiring specialized feeding to the patient care required for senior dogs with mobility challenges. I'm comfortable administering oral/topical medications for both cats and dogs. I move at the pet’s pace. Whether a pet is shy, high-energy, or slowing down with age, I tailor my approach to their unique comfort levels and temperament to make sure they stay happy and healthy. As a full-time professional in an office Monday through Thursday (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM), I provide highly structured and reliable care. I treat my sitting schedule with the same level of commitment as my career. Monday – Thursday: Full availability for walks, feeding, and playtime starting at 6:00 PM. Overnights: I am happy to provide overnight care for pets that are comfortable being home independently during a standard workday. Friday – Sunday: * Full-Day Availability: My schedule is completely open for adventure walks, multiple drop-ins, or more specialized care. My approach is centered on maintaining your pet's comfort and routine in the environment they know best—their own home! My evenings and weekends are dedicated to whatever your pet needs most—whether that’s an playtime, a precise medication routine, or just hanging out together on the couch! I'm comfortable administering various medications and am prepared for emergencies with my CPR training. Beyond keeping your pets safe, I treat your home with respect, ensuring it stays tidy, secure, and exactly as you left it.
About: For 2 years I worked as a veterinary assistant and after moving to Pullman to continue my education in animal care I gained experience in grooming, boarding and elderly care. I have just moved to Renton and am in-between jobs. I use rover as a second job when I do have a job but as of right now I am open for care fulltime. Often times owners will provide me with a strict set of guidelines to be followed with there pet. I will always follow these to a T as owners know there pet best. I'm trained to recognize signs and symptoms of common illnesses and am certified in Animal CPR and recovery analysis. It is my top priority to make sure your pet is healthy and happy under my care.
About: I've been working as a Shift Lead at a dog daycare for 3+ years I am relied on for things such as administering medication, taking care of senior pets, and socializing pets I am free most weekends but my schedule tends to be flexible reach out and I can do my best to find a way to fit your pets care into my routine! I own a King Charles Cavalier dog named Kitty who is crate/potty trained and is very well socialized and open to meeting any new people or pets
About: My experience began in 2021, when my partner at the time's older sisters both got puppies (a corgi and a mini poodle). One of them lived with us for 3 months, so I got to train the puppy in that time period. The other one I frequently took care of when their family went on vacation for weeks at a time. Since then, I've been asked by many friends to take care of their dogs. This entails dropping by and making sure they get their walks in, fed, and appropriate amount of play for their personality type. These dogs are small to medium in size. I always prioritize the safety and comfort of the dogs that come into my care. I work part-time at the moment and do have busy seasons. Depending on if I am available, I can drop by and make sure your pet is fed, walked, played with for 1-2 hours at a time. I typically go to people's homes to care for their pet because usually they will be more comfortable in their own home. With my current living situation I cannot take care of pets in my home.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a small kid! I believe pets deserve all the love, and I understand and am able to work with reactive dogs as well. I do work full time remotely! But I use all my breaks to walk and play with my dogs. I am almost always home, and visit the dog part frequently I treat my pets, and all pets with love and respect. I always make sure that they are able to go potty when they need to, get fed consistently, and have plenty toys and treats.
“Noa did a great job caring for our cats during a long vacation. She went above and beyond to keep things clean around their litter box and kept us supplied with cute pix. I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Morgan did a great job filling in last minute for us! We will definitely consider her again for future dates. She was communicative and thorough throughout her time here. Kaya definitely appreciated the company.”
“I've always had a great experience with Maura. She is punctual and takes care of my cats really well. Both my cats are very comfortable around her (even my introverted and scared cat). I love that she sends a detailed message about the cats along with pictures after every check in.”
About: I’m just starting out with Rover but I have been a pet passionate person my entire life, and I’d love to meet yours! I worked as a veterinary technician through college and after, so I have lots of experience with medically complex cats and dogs. I also currently foster dogs and grew up fostering cats, so I’ve gotten to meet and learn about many breeds and different personalities. I’m honest, reliable, and I care deeply about the needs of animals. I also have experience caring for parrots, poultry, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other small exotic pets. As a stay at home mom we are home and playing in the yard very often. I walk my dogs every single day, rain or shine, we love to explore! I have a securely fenced yard with a lovely garden and a big grassy area for playing. I love to treat new dogs like family and help them feel safe and loved.
“Mei did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was flexible with her schedule and helped us out when we had to be gone longer than planned. Thanks, Mei!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
We cannot recommend Mary highly enough! She has been helping us for quite some time, and she has been nothing short of amazing. Not only is she incredibly loving and caring with our puppy, Luna, but she is also extremely reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We always have peace of mind knowing Luna is in such good hands. Mary consistently keeps us updated, genuinely cares about Luna's well-being, and goes above and beyond every time. We are so grateful to have found her and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Stephanie took great care of my 3.5 month old mini dachshund puppy (Siggi) for a few hours while I had to be away. Stephanie was prompt, communicative, and followed instructions. Best of all, she and Siggi got along very well and I'm glad he has a new reliable friend!
McKenzie has been watching our pets for almost a year now, and she is the best! She continues to go above and beyond for our animals and truly does care. We’ve had many times where last minute visits are needed and she is great at accommodating. Thank you as always, McKenzie!
Fei was absolutely amazing. She was super flexible, incredibly friendly, and truly wonderful with our pups. From the moment she met them, it was clear she genuinely cares and knows how to make dogs feel comfortable, happy, and loved (even my grumpy old dog, Chance). Honestly… I almost don’t want to recommend her to anyone else because my dogs want her all to themselves 😅🐶 But if you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll quickly see why we trust her completely. Couldn’t recommend her more.
Brooke took such good care of our cat and pet pigeon. She was so kind and communicative and took the cutest pictures. When we came back, it was obvious they were well cared for. We are so grateful to have someone we trust to care for them while we were away!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Tukwila is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Tukwila choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
