“Julie took great care of our crew (2 dogs and 2 cats) over night while we were out of town. She kept us updated with great pics and everyone was happy when we returned home. The house was spotless! We appreciated her care and attention to all.”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Brooklin did a fantastic job house sitting while I was gone for a week. I was able to rest easy knowing my dog was being well taken care of as she provided daily, detailed updates with photos. Additionally, she was a great house guest, leaving the place tidy and clean.”
“Kaitlyn was very communicative and respectful of our home. One of our cats behaved differently than we expected - hiding under a bed. Kaitlyn let us know what was happening and adjusted the care plan based on our feedback. She went above and beyond: brought in packages for me, handled the pets' dirty dishes, and reset the linens when she was done. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“Meiyee took amazing care of our stubborn old dog (Cloud) for more than a week recently. When we got back from vacation Cloud was in a good mood and healthy. Meiyee is a loving caretaker and I would highly recommend her.”
“Stuart took amazing care of my dog, Denali, while I was out of town. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Denali loved him! I completely trust Stuart and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
“Stephanie took excellent care of our Boy. She left our house extremely tidy and was so great with communication the entire time she was there. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Alex was the perfect weekend buddy for our two pitbull mixes. They showed up right on time for the meet and greet, and seemed happy and patient to be around the dogs. During the pet sitting, we received several updates and dog photos which we always appreciate. We came back to our home exactly how we had left it. We would definitely book Alex again, and would recommend them to others as well!”
“Mary is fabulous! All our pets get great attention. Instructions are followed. She communicates with texts and pictures daily. We leave and return home knowing that our pets and house were well cared for!”
“Brittany & Megan watched our three dogs which is not an easy task! They are amazing communicators sending pictures and videos multiple times a day which made our 7 year old very happy! We came home to a clean house and three happy pups! I would highly recommend them and hope they can watch our pups again!”
“★★★★★ Jisu was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home to watch our two dogs and took such great care of them. We came back to happy pups and a spotless house. She sent regular updates, was super reliable, and clearly treated our dogs like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“You know you have a good dog/house sitter when your neighbors who have three dogs text you this message: Hey unsolicited feedback that your dog/house sitter seems super consistent and reliable with Zoe. She’s here at the same times and overnight and walks her at the same times. Hope you’re enjoying wherever you are!!!! I’m not stalking her but just notice in my daily life. ? You will not be disappointed! The house also felt cleaner when I got home then when I left and my pup seemed very happy. Thanks Cassandra!”
“Stephanie is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took care of our boy a few days after he had a medical emergency and was diligent about his new pill routine and sent us regular updates on how he was doing. We would not have felt comfortable leaving him with other dog sitters. Thank you for providing thoughtful care, Stephanie!”
“Ali was a great sitter! She sent me a picture of our doggies when she arrived and let me know how things went and how the dogs got along. She left our house just as good as we did. :) Thank you, Ali! We'll book with you again.”
“I highly recommend Lisandra! During an extended visit in Seattle we needed a dog sitter for 1 day. Lisandra came to our AirBnB and spent the day providing companionship, walks, and play time with Murphy. When we got home, he was cuddling on the couch with her. If we ever again need a sitter while in Seattle, I'll reach out to Lisandra and am recommending her to my Seattle family & friends.”
“Alexandria is so fabulous! She is great with our two dogs and always leaves our home in great shape. Would highly recommend her services - I'll certainly be working with her again!”
“Timothy did an amazing job looking after our pets! He communicated with us and sent pictures. We felt that our animals were safe and I'd definitely request him again. Thank you!!”

Brendan was an absolute rockstar with our Siberian Husky, Loki! We had been searching for over 6 months to find the perfect match, and Brendan exceeded every expectation. He was immaculate, professional, and clearly loves dogs. From the detailed daily updates, we could tell Loki had a fantastic 4th of July stay. Brendan started the day with an early morning walk, handled breakfast and playtime, took him on a big trail loop walk, and kept up multiple outings throughout the day (including a shorter one in the afternoon). He even gave Loki his fireworks medication proactively and planned a final potty break before heading out—such thoughtful care during a stressful holiday for pups! Beyond the excellent dog care, Brendan went above and beyond by washing the sheets, making the bed, and leaving the house looking spotless. (And no worries about those fitted sheet folding skills—haha—we appreciated it so much!) Everything was perfect when we returned. We’re already looking forward to having Brendan watch Loki again at the end of the month. If you’re in the area and need a reliable, caring sitter who truly gets it, book Brendan without hesitation. He’s a gem! Highly recommend
We had a wonderful experience with Raven. She was a great communicator, kept our home clean and well cared for, and took such amazing care of our pup while we were away. She also sent lots of pictures of all the cuddles and walks, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our girl was happy and in such good hands. We would absolutely use Raven again and highly recommend her!
MacKenzie was so wonderful with our three (high maintenance) dogs! Two of them are incredibly shy and within a short period of time Mackenzie got them to play with her. She is great with communication, sending pics, updates, and at navigating complicated feeding and sleeping situations. An added bonus: she takes gorgeous pics of the animals in her care. Highly recommended, and we already have her booked for our next trip!
Cassie was nothing short of amazing! We have an older pup who is hard to leave with anyone who doesn’t u destined her and some needy kitty’s. Cassie stayed at our house and cared for our animals and our house like it was her own. I can’t feel you how much it made our vacation better knowing that everything was in great hands. And coming home was a breeze! I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future when we need a sitter!
Alexandria was really great with Cooper. She took him on walks and spent quality time with him outside on the porch, which I really appreciated. She also kept me updated throughout the stay with photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very respectful of the space and left the house in such great condition that I could barely tell she was even there. I would absolutely recommend her to others and would definitely hire her again.
Hailey did any amazing job of taking care of our fur-baby Spence and the house while we were out of town. Spence was a happy boy, and the house was in the same condition as when we left. We will definitely be reaching out to Hailey for future pet and/or house-sitting needs. Thanks, Hailey!

FAQs for House Sitting - Tukwila
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tukwila on Rover is $111 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tukwila. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Tukwila walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Tukwila maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

- 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.
