“We booked Tu last minute to watch our 3 month old puppy while we were away for a few days. She was super responsive and accommodating. When our flight got delayed and I wouldn’t be able to pick up our puppy on time, Tu dropped him off in our home so he’d be there waiting for us when we got there. Tu sent daily updates and our puppy had a great time playing with the other dogs Tu babysat.”
“They took great care of my pup, giving him lots of cuddles and treating him like he was part of the family. I loved getting all the video and photo updates. I think he also enjoyed having Nikko to play with! Excellent experience and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my pup in their care again.”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”
“I always worry about my pup when I’m away. He’s older and requires medication. Deborah did a fantastic job with him and provided updates everyday. She took great care of him and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Gimli was very happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Got pictures and updates on him and she was able to accommodate change in pick up schedule when I got back earlier than expected! Kaylie was awesome!”
“Kristen and Loic were great hosts for Lyra. She was showered with attention from the whole family and taken on many adventures throughout the day. Communication was exceptional as we received many updates throughout the day. Lyra came back a happy and tired dog, which is the best kind of dog. Will be using their services again soon!”
“David and Betty were perfect!! Excellent communication and they sent lots of pics throughout the stay. Lumen has food allergies and they were super careful with his needs. I really appreciated their attention to detail. Thank you! 🙏🏽 For folks reading the review, rest assured that your pup would be well taken care of and go ahead! 🙂”
“Martha and family took care of my doggy and they were great. Awesome communication throughout and more importantly, awesome photos while we were away to share with my kids. Highly recommend!”
“Kirsten was such a wonderful and responsive sitter for our dog Winston. She returned him safe, healthy, and exhausted. He had such a great time playing with all the other dogs over at her place. We will definitely be using her again, I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals of all kinds, including large-breed dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I have especially extensive experience with large dogs and senior pets. I recently lost my Doberman Pinscher at nearly 15 years old, and we currently have a 14-year-old Siberian Husky. As a stay at home mom, I have a flexible daytime schedule and am home much of the day. My routine mainly revolves around school drop-offs, pick-ups, and after-school activities, which leaves me largely available during the morning and early afternoon when many pet owners are away at work. This gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and pets who need a little extra attention throughout the day. I’ve spent my life around animals and understand that every pet has different boundaries, routines, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with large breeds, senior dogs, crates, mobility needs, and pets requiring extra care. Our home has fully fenced front and back yards, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and baby gates that allow us to safely separate pets from other dogs, children, or food when needed. We also have dog beds, toys, and plenty of clean water bowls available for their comfort. Our children have been raised around large dogs and understand dog safety, including respecting a pet’s space around food, beds, crates, and while resting. I’m happy to follow each owner’s normal routine and household rules so their pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with us.
“Jennifer is so kind and accommodating. Opie was very happy to stay with her and play with his new friends. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Yuliia took excellent care of our playful 70-pound goldendoodle during our 10-night travel. She regularly sent us photographs, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely hire her again for our future travels.”
“Wanqing took wonderful care of my dog, Waikiki. He came home happy, relaxed, and refreshed. Wanqing also provided timely updates throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the care and attention and would definitely recommend Wanqing!”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
“Beth always loves our pup like her own when we are out of town. Great at sending regular updates and not intimidated by the special meds and diet needs our pup has due to IBD. Thanks for another great stay, Beth!”
“Myra did an excellent job with our active, 3-yr old doodle. It was a long stay than normal, and we were concerned, but in the end had no reason to be. Myra is great, and clearly loves dogs! Thank you Myra!!!!”
“Great experience! Lovely family who cared for our little Rosie and made her part of their family. We will be back in the future when we need a comfy place for our pup.”

Duyen is really attentive she gives updates everyday and though my cat is very shy around strangers she was able to make my cat feel comfortable. He didn’t eat his food when he first arrived (dinner is his favorite part of the day) but by the end of his stay he was playing and eating everything. I would definitely recommend Duyen.
This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous overall and how Sophie would do. Ashley setup a meet and greet the week prior which was helpful for both my and my dog to meet her before the overnight and my (our? Haha) minds at ease. Everything went great and I could tell Ashley truly cared. She was great about sending photos and updates, especially the first night when I expected my dog to be a bit anxious at a new place. I already have her booked again for next week and would highly recommend her for any services. Thanks Ashley for taking such good care of Sophie and making this a great first experience with Rover!
Tosha was soooooo wonderful with my quirky little bull terrier, Tor. She was super thorough at our initial meet and greet and took such good care of him while I was out of town. He likely got more exercise than when he is home with me :) she sent daily updates and very cute photos! Thank you thank you Tosha! 💖
Mylyn took such great care of our old pug. He’s almost 13 years old, has one eye and mostly cannot hear. He has regular medication needs as well. She sent us updates everyday we were gone and always a photo. We were gone two weeks and we did not worry once about him. We would highly recommend Mylyn and her excellent and attentive care. Also, our other care fell through a week out from our trip and she took us on short notice which we so appreciated. We will use her again when we travel! We highly recommend her especially for an older dog.
Natalie and her family watched my two Pomeranians for a week and half. My dogs were given so much love and attention it was like they were on vacation too. I was able to be worry free while away knowing Natalie was taking care of my two girls. She followed all care instructions and kept me updated with pics. I definitely recommend Natalie!
If caring for a diaper-wearing senior cat were an Olympic sport, Kizzie would be taking home the gold medal every time! She consistently goes above and beyond for our beloved Ginger, handling all of her special needs with ease, compassion, and a smile. On top of that, Ginger gets unlimited snuggles, affection, and VIP treatment at no extra charge. It's obvious Ginger feels right at home with Kizzie, and she doesn't even seem to mind Moco's enthusiastic attempts at friendship. Knowing Ginger is safe, comfortable, and loved gives us incredible peace of mind whenever we're away. We couldn't recommend Kizzie more highly. She's dependable, caring, and absolutely wonderful. As far as we're concerned, Ginger has already picked her favorite sitter, and it's Kizzie!
Josh and Mario have been an absolute godsend for us. we have two large dogs. one is the typical lovable goofy sweet dog (Rosie). the other is more coyote than dog (Raiden). Any sitter can watch a happy fluffball but a rare sitter who understands fear aggression and recognizes dogs are not babies with fur is extremely appreciated. Raiden is very selective in who he trusts and usually takes weeks to earn that trust. Josh was in Raiden's family/friends plan within hours. that's a miracle. And lastly the dogs were very happy during their stay. The daily updates and pictures were much appreciated and gave us peace of mind. Do yourself and your dog a favor and choose Josh for your famiky member. big or small, sweet or ... not so sweet these two accommodate all. oh and someone was always there which is perfect for separation anxiety. Thank you Josh will absolutely use again.

There are 5,991 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Tukwila. About 91% of Tukwila sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
