“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 a great helping looking after my puppy! He was so well taken care of and it allowed me and my family to work stress free! Would 100% rebook with Julie in the future!!”
“Brendan takes such a great care of our dogs, and of our house. He’s an excellent communicator and provides a lot of fun updates and pictures. The dogs absolutely adore him.”
“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 stayed with our two dogs over the New Year holiday. We added a new puppy to the crew in early December and needed someone that could handle a big energy 4 year old and a 4 month old. Meiyee was fantastic with both dogs, communicative and is someone we will rebook whenever we can.”
“Jisu is amazing with my senior pup! It warmed my heart to see how much they bonded. It was apparent he was so happy, and spoiled with love, cuddles and care the whole time. She also left our home in perfect order. Thank you Jisu! We look forward to the next time!”
“As usual, Brooklin provided top-notch care of our 3 cats. She kept apprised with photos and videos (which I love to get) and of behavioral changes (some of our cats are more sensitive to us traveling) so we could troubleshoot together. She also went above and beyond, helping feed the stray cats in our neighborhood, washing our dishes, and bringing us produce! Thanks as always for the peace of mind!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using a stranger to take care of my dogs and I was a little nervous. However, Stephanie took great care of my two dogs. She sent lots of updates and daily photos. She was also very communicative and very respectful of our house. I would not hesitate to use Stephanie again!”
“Kathi was a fantastic sitter! She was available last minute for house sitting for us over Christmas, and our trip would not have been possible without her help! We have two needy animals—a cat with asthma and a dog with cancer—but Kathi rose to the occasion! She made sure our cat got her silly inhaler twice a day and that our dog got her meds and hourly potty breaks. Kathi is a funny and charming soul, and we appreciated her daily messages and pictures while we were away. We would highly recommend her and plan to book with her again!!”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“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!”
“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”
“John was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our quirky Harley girl! It is clear he followed our schedule and guidelines for her in relation to walks, treats, meals, etc. and kept us regularly updated including lots of wonderful pics and videos. John gave us the peace of mind to know Harley was well taken care of so we could enjoy our vacation. We will absolutely be looking to book John for future needs. Thanks again John, we appreciate you!”
“We are so grateful for Sara taking an unexpected dog sitting job for us. She was great with communicating with us about what was going on each day and have our dog extra love. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We would 100% have Sara sit for us again!”
“Jayce is great to work with! I appreciate that she managed my requests for June's care easily, asked all the right questions and returned messages quickly. I look forward to booking with her in the future, if she is available.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Julie was fantastic! She was wonderful with our 6 month old. She sent photos during the sit. She even changed locations when our lodging fell through and we had to move to a hotel! We were so grateful for her flexibility and understanding. We would certainly recommend her as a sitter!!
Brooklin K is a fantastic sitter for both cats and dogs. She handled every thing that came up neatly and efficiently. She was flexible with our schedule. She went above and beyond with any situation that arose. I heartily recommend her to anyone who has animals. We have two dogs and a cat and they all gave her a paws up!
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!
Brendan went above and beyond taking care of Aurora, we were able to relax on our trip knowing Brendan would be taking her on walks, spending quality time with her at our home, and sending great communicative updates. We highly recommend having Brendan pet sit for you.
Ravan was awesome! She took such good care of my dog while I was away, I didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took him for walks and to the park. Even my plants were watered!! I will absolutely book with her again and will recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter.
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!
Kaitlyn did such a wonderful job watching my 2 cats and my dog!! She treated them as if they were her own, and it showed. They all take medicine and have complex diet needs and she was very comfortable making sure they each stayed in their specific routine. She sent excellent daily updates with pictures which were adorable. I was able to really enjoy my trip knowing Kaitlyn was caring for my crew. I will definitely have her back for my next trip!! The house and animals were just like I left them. 🥰🐱🐶🦁

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.

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.
