“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Julie was punctual, communicative, and respectful of our training plan with Bluey. She kept our home clean. She responded quickly and put me at ease. I can tell the love she has for animals.”
“Brooklin was great! Perfect sitter for normal circumstances, but then we had a problem with one of our pets. She went above and beyond the job description to help make sure my pet was happy and healthy. She may very well have saved his life. I highly recommend and will certainly be booking her again.”
“Briana was a fantastic sitter for my dog, communicating throughout the trip and sent nice pictures. She followed all instructions and was kind and quick to respond to throughout the process. My timid pitty warmed up to her extremely quickly, which is no small feat! I would recommend her for your pet sitting needs”
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”
“Lizette did a wonderful job watching our two pups overnight at our house. She was responsive and very thorough in asking questions about their needs, including doing a video call and in person meet beforehand. She is super friendly, communicative, and has great energy/vibes with the dogs- would definitely hire again!”
“Kaitlyn took care of our three kitties for an extended vacation, including pilling, cleaning, reporting on minor concerns, taking care of the house, and cleaning everything up for our return. She updated us very consistently and with pictures, which was super helpful and reassuring as this was our first trip away from them for more than 8 hours due to one of them requiring a medication every 8 hours. In addition to doing a great job, she is a delight to talk to and all of her communication from start to finish has been professional and prompt. We highly recommend Kaitlyn!”
“I hesitate to leave such a great review as Jayce will then become so popular but it would be unfair to keep such a gem hidden! Jayce has extraordinary patience and could possibly be a dog whisperer. Don’t ever hesitate to book them. Incredible communication , empathy and did I mention PATIENCE ?❤️”
“My mind was completely at ease while Brandi was sitting with our dog. When we had our meeting prior to the weekend she sat for us, Brandi was thorough with her questions for me which gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing. She gave us updates and by the pictures she sent I could tell Leia was happy and loved on. We will definitely have her sit with Leia again.”
“This was the second time Hunter stayed with our two dogs and once again, he did a great job!!! Followed all of our instructions beautifully and it’s clear our dogs love him and have so much fun with him”
“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.”
“Eric was fabulous! All our pets received great attention. Instructions were followed. He communicated with texts and pictures daily. Our pets and home were well cared for! I’ll definitely hire Eric again!!”
“Timothy did an amazing job watching gizmo. I got plenty of updates and gizmo seemed very happy and healthy when I returned home. Also left my apartment clean and tidy as well.”
“Brandy was so lovely!! Kellan took to her right away (and he’s picky). She was very communicative leading in to our trip and while we were traveling. All the photos allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing Kellan was having a great time with Brandy at home. When we got back I swear Kellan’s coat looked better than when we left! (He’s a VERY fluffy Pyrenees) she obviously gave him plenty of love and care while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Brandy again the next time we travel.”
“Erica was excellent! She took care of my dog on my wedding day. She arrived on time and my special needs senior dog loved her. I didn't have to stress at all about my dog during my wedding, Erica did a wonderful job and kept me updated with photos. Will definitely work with Erica again!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Briana was amazing! She agreed to come by for a short visit before the booked time to meet George and get a walkthrough of his needs and the space, she was super friendly and kind and listened to my rambling list of things to know to take care of George. While I was gone, she sent frequent updates with pictures and descriptions of how he’d been and how they’d played together. George was happy and healthy when I came home and I’m so grateful that she kept him company and took care of him.
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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 8,359 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.
