“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”
“Brooklin is very attentive to the needs of our older dog. We have used her multiple times and never had any issues or concerns with her service. Just rebooked her for later this year!”
“Kayleigh was great about sending daily photos and responded quickly to any communication. It’s clear that she loves animals and that our pets were very well-taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her pet sit for us again!”
“It's hard for me to know where to begin because I have so much gratitude to express! Now that I'm back, thank you John for exceeding my expectations and ultimately, alleviating all the unnecessary anxieties and fears I definitely had prior to leaving town. It allowed me to truly be present on my trip that I have had on my life-list for some time now. So, LOTS of wins for everyone. John was so professional and courteous--he initiated a meet and greet prior to the trip. I SO appreciated that gesture. He knows the wild-child-energy well when it comes to frenchies, and I could tell he just adored them (even though Oliver was screaming at him for attention the whole time). He sent me videos, pictures, and even encouraged me to change my reservation so I didn't get overcharged. What a guy! Thank you again John! You will be hearing from us again and it'll be so great to have a consistent visitor so the dogs don't get as stressed out. I'm just over the moon and hope this review gets you more clients!!”
“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.”
“Jonathan took exceptional care of our dog while we were away. We had excellent communication, and received regular pictures and updates. My worried mind was definitely put at ease. We'll definitely hire him again!”
“Rachel was communicative with updates throughout the home stay! Our high energy pups were tuckered out when we came back. The house was clean and tidy which was appreciated. Would recommend Rachel for anyone.”
“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 ?❤️”
“Shelli was a great house sitter! She was on time, provided wonderful photos of her interactions with our dogs and clear communication while we were gone. We arrived home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would recommend as a house sitter and will hire again.”
“Carmie did amazing once again! Having anxious dogs, it’s so refreshing to be able to come back from a trip and have them be happy and healthy! Carmie was also able to help us when our flight got unexpectedly canceled (every dog owners nightmare). And we are so grateful! We will continue to have Carmie stay with our pups!”
“Carrianne was fantastic with our two big boys. Great communication, cute pics from the visit, and overall she was just great to work with. I would recommend Carrianne highly!”
About: Hello! My speciality is taking your dog(s) for a good run/jog, and returning them happy and hungry, ready to conk out! At a pace tailored to their needs/abilities, I can handle any age/size and any energy level! I find that most dogs respond well to an energetic/playful pace, with minimal leash pressure/guidance, they want to GO. I always stay aware of where their attention is at, if they need a bathroom/scent marking break or a chance to investigate a good smell, or a panting breather (or if I do), I will of course cater to that! I Prefer 60 min sessions, 2.5-5 mile jogs depending on the dog's capability and neighborhood terrain. Comfortable with 1-3 dogs per run, it's easier if they are of similar pace, but I'm okay managing being pulled by the leader, don't worry, it won't transfer to dragging the slowpoke! 11 Years of experience, just new to this platform, curious how much it will help grow my customer base, what with a more open schedule this fall/winter. I know there are some Huskys, some Sheepherders,Mountain dogs and some Malinois that are dying to join me! I find these guys endurance carries further than the pure speed of the sprinter dogs, but of course all are welcome in hand! Prices are set with the jogging+ pace in mind, if just looking for a true Walking pace(usually for the elderly canines), I'm open to offering a lower walking rate. My schedule is fairly open at the current point in time, only a few credits worth of classes and recreational sports, otherwise if within a reasonable distance I should be available most days/evenings I do not offer boarding, my lease is a no pet lease, but in terms of dropping in to a client's home, I have pride in upkeeping the utmost integrity, and basically act as if under constant surveilance at all times, mainly by my own conscience, but likely by home security as well. I have nothing to hide in my behavior.
“Anna saved my dogs life. Bronx was a senior pug, 16.5 and thank god Anna was the one watching him. He had a fainting episode while i was away and lost consciousness. Anna brought him back and took him to the ER where he was able to be treated and taken care of long enough for me to come home and get one last day with him. I owe Anna the world for being there, knowing what to do and caring so thoroughly for my little guy. She is hands down, without exaggeration, the best Dogsitter I’ve ever encountered and I’m eternally grateful for her.”
“Yukako is really great to work with, super friendly and on top of things. We have used her twice with our two mini schnauzers, and saved the day recently. We cant wait to work with her again. Thanks Yukako! You Rock.”
“Gianna did a great job with our two active Australian Shepherds. She left the house in great condition and helped us out by watering plants when the temperature was abnormally high. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two in the future.”
“Ashli was wonderful with our girl! We got frequent updates with pictures. We were very comfortable with Ashli staying in our home and can’t wait to have her back! Our dog definitely loved her!”
“Did an amazing job watching my fur babies while I was out of town. Takes the cutest photos & provides consistent updates. It was reassuring knowing my dogs were in good hands, they were so relaxed and happy when I got home. Will definitely re-book!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Brooklin is amazing! I have for years, had anxiety about leaving my fur babies while my husband and I travel. I refused to board my animals so it left me with few family and friends to reach out too. I took a chance on Rover and saw all of Brooklins reviews and once we met I understand why. She listened to how I take care of my pets and what makes them feel at home. She kept me updated every day with cute pictures and videos. She took my dog to the dog park and made sure my kitties got their treats everyday! If you are worried about having someone watch your animals and yiur house; reach out to Brooklin, she is the best!
Shirley did a great job of watching my boys Momo and Charlie during the day for 9 days while I was abroad with my family. She sent pics and gave me lots of updates. I came home and the dogs were happy and looked good. My roommate who was here in the morning and night didn’t even notice her, which was the plan! Would absolutely ask Shirley to watch my guys again!
Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.
Julie was AMAZING! I was very nervous as a first timer with both my house and fur baby. Julie made me feel at ease and provided the best care for both Amelia and our home. We got daily updates and pictures on how things were going which we greatly appreciated. We chose Julie because of her outstanding reviews and she totally lived up to them. I would 100% recommend Julie for house or dog sitting and she will be my go to person in the future for any upcoming needs. Amelia misses her now that we are home and was sitting by the door of our guest room this morning. She is defiantly the best experience I have ever had with dog sitting or boarding in the past 30 years. The Amelia and I were very happy with the experience.
Satsuki did an amazing job watching Eleanor! As a self-proclaimed anxious, helicopter dog mom, I always dread finding new sitters for my baby. However, Satsuki's excellent communication and vibe completely put me at ease after our meet and greet. She gave me daily updates and let me know the exact moment Eleanor received her medication. I loved getting the frequent photos and mood updates throughout my trip! On top of taking perfect care of my place, she was even kind enough to pick up a package for me. Satsuki is basically a spaniel expert now and truly understands the unique, quirky nature of these velcro breeds. I highly recommend her!
Chaunecey did a fantastic job looking after our toy Cavapoo, Echo, for the night. She is incredibly friendly, kind, and kept us consistently updated with how everything was going. We especially appreciated her proactive communication—if there was ever a slight delay in her arrival, she made sure to let us know right away. Overall, Dash was straightforward, so easy to work with, and gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend her!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Tukwila is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $105 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 8,144 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
