“Rosalind is absolutely in the very top of all caregivers I’ve had the pleasure of caring for my Chandy child! A very warm and caring person and environment that was perfect for the pup. We both felt instant ease, and she took excellent care. I had not a single worry throughout his stay! Will definitely be rebooking when she returns from family vacation!!”
“Ok so I am a little late in writing this review but after vacation one is always a little behind. Lea did such a great job taking care of my Cooper and he came home so happy and healthy. Will definitely use again...”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kenny. From day one, he showed genuine love and patience toward my dog. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was comfortable and well cared for. I would absolutely trust him again! Recommend Kenny 100%”
About: I have cared for cats, dogs and horses throughout the years since I was 5. I will treat your beloved pets with great care and kindness in your home. I am retired, so my schedule is very flexible. I am looking forward to meeting your pets to help them feel happy, safe and looked after when you are not available to them. I am interested in learning how you want your pets cared for so they are not stressed by big changes. Your directions for your pet’s management are what my goals will be!
“We had such a wonderful experience! Audrey was incredibly caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. She and her family treated our dogs like their own, taking them on lots of fun outings, brushing their fur, and even trimming their nails. Our dogs absolutely adored her whole family and seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! It was so heartwarming to see how happy and loved they were throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time boarding my 5 year old Belgian mal mix with anyone outside my family. I was very very anxious. To keep it short- all these 5 star reviews are true! Jeremy is responsive, sends regular updates, and provides pups with all the exercise and love they could want. I am so happy to have this option and I know my pup will be over the moon to see him again!”
“Orma is amazing!!! I had to drop mi babies at a moment’s notice due to a family emergency and she has done everything possible for my dogs to feel loved and well cared for during my absence. Her entire family rapidly bonded with them, making them feel loved and at ease. Thank you Orma for caring so much about Mia and Martin. Highly recommend her”
“Richard was very communicative, very caring, and our French bulldog fit in well with this homes environment. Daily photos and reports were fun and comforting while we were away from our precious pup! Thanks Richard!”
“This was my first time using a service to find a sitter for my dog and Callista made it really easy. She was quick to set up a meet and greet and was happy to watch my boy Doug for a few days. She sent pictures of their walks and let me know how he was doing. She also was quick to reach out when she felt like he wasn’t eating enough and we were able to find a solution right away that got him eating again. I could tell Doug was being well cared for and it made leaving him a little less stressful, so I could relax on my trip. Thank you Callista! I’m happy Doug has made a new friend!”
“Sarah and Ben thank you for welcoming Maple and Storm into your beautiful home! The regular photo updates have been an absolute treasure on our trip. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them - I could tell they had the BEST time!”
“Adejia & Mayuran have been so incredibly kind, responsive, and caring to my little boy Atlas! He loves staying with them, and also has a great time with their pup Kona! They are consistent with sending updates, and all communication is great. They have also been so understanding with changes and adjustments needed. I am so happy to have found such great sitters for Atlas here in Seattle after relocating!”
“Sarah and her husband were great sitters for Atlas. She sent photos and videos of her enjoying herself and responded to messages promptly. Would definitely allow them to watch her again”
“Jaime and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog Hershey!! It was Hershey's first time away from us and Jaime helped her through it from being stressed to having fun Absolutely would use her services again and highly recommend to everyone else”
“Yuri and Alexandra took a nice care of Maya. This was the first time she sleept out and accommodated her needs. They kept me updated and sent a lot of photos. She loved playing in the backyard with Boris, their dog.”
“Maribel and her husband were the perfect match for my dog, Charlie. They have a dog-loving home with a fenced-in yard. Maribel went above and beyond to provide photos and updates during my trip. I got several photos every day, which assured me that he was having a great time and fitting in with her sweet dogs. I’m pretty sure Charlie didn’t want to come home! I also appreciated how flexible she was with drop off and pick up times. I would recommend Maribel to anyone!”
“It has been wonderful getting to know Patty and even more wonderful for Patty and our pup to get to know each other! Not sure how to better characterize it but Patty has a very calming, organic presence which is soothing to our anxious dog. I appreciated that she genuinely wanted to get to know us and pup before taking on the sitting job. She treats care of your 4-pawed child with the kind of care and diligence as would be afforded a human-child. Our dog seamlessly transitioned from Patty to us which is always a great sign of a great stay! Thank you, Patty!”
“Dana Marie was fantastic with our kitty. It was his first time away from home and she was so patient and loving with him, drew him out of his shell to relax and play. He had a very comfy, spacious room to himself, tons of toys, a cushy bed and a climbing tree next to a big window with a great view of the neighborhood activities. Dana Marie was very flexible with our drop-off and pick-up time, gave me updates each day and carefully followed all directions for feeding and medications. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home for our little guy.”
“Hi, sorry the review is late but thank you so much Souhrab for taking care of our baby girl Haru! We really appreciate all the photos and videos sent over to us and checked in with us for any questions or updates. Definitely will be booking again with Souhrab when the time comes.”
“My Golden pup had a wonderful time, lots of play and interaction which are her favorite things! Reine provided updates and cute photos that kept my heart peaceful while apart from my dog. So thankful!”
“Elle and fam were wonderful, they kept me updated on their goings-on with texts and photos, and she’s got a sense of humor in her captions! I was relieved to know that they were very familiar with elder dog care and had two cutie furbies of their own. My eldest dog hadn’t been displaying much of an appetite when I returned from my last trip during which they stayed at a kennel, this time he had increased his daily intake to nearly pre-kennel levels while in their care. My dogs showed no signs of distress and my lab made himself at home as soon as we walked through their front door. I highly recommend them to anyone regardless of your dog breed or age. Plus, you can’t beat the attention provided by someone who works from home. It was an all around excellent fit!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Thank you Kiet, Ken and Yuri ❤️. It was my time away from my baby Robin for about 60 days. I was a little unprepared at first. But I am so glad this worked ou Robin enjoyed your company and misses his best friends Ball and Snow already.😁 He’s also been more affectionate towards me since he got back lol. Guess Ball and Snow taught him good manners :). Thank you for providing him a second home! So grateful!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Qillian! She truly saved our rears by stepping in at the very last minute to care for our two dogs. She was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and easy to work with from the very beginning. Her communication was phenomenal! She was extremely responsive and sent tons of photos and updates throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. What could have been a very stressful situation turned into such a positive experience thanks to her kindness and flexibility. We are beyond grateful for Qillian and would absolutely trust her with our pups again. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Our boy is a nervous pup, but Isabella took the best care of him. She went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, ate his meals, and successfully took all his meds. He got great walks, but was also more than happy to just be a comfy couch potato with her. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog. Isabella was also great with communication, prompt with responses, and sent updates and photos as requested. Highly recommend!
Andrea was very flexible with our times and great at communicating. I appreciated her sending a picture of my dogs. Although I would have loved to see more pics and hear how they were doing and adjusting, but overall grateful for the care and time she gave. I would come back again!
Jermaine was great with Lulu! Communication was always incredibly quick since my initial message. He has a really good setup with multiple areas for the dogs to spend their time, as well as a backyard for them to run around and play. Lulu is a timid dog, but she felt very welcome at his place, and Jermaine made sure she was comfortable throughout her stay.
Kizzie brings warmth and genuine care consistently to her care for our senior kitty, and it’s absolutely why we return to her every time we need pet care. With the updates she provides, it’s obvious that Ginger is familiar with and trusts Kizzy, and her settle in time while boarding is quick. Despite us being away, it truly seems that it’s Ginger that’s on a vacation! We always recommend Kizzie for all of the reasons above!
Rya is such an animal lover who was absoluyely amazing with my small poodle mix, Rachel. She is a 5 yr old rescue that I have only had 6 months and she has some separation/anxiety issues, so I was worried about leaving her...but Rya quickly won her trust. Rya sent updates and was EXCELLENT with communication and sending pictures regularly. I highly recommend her. I know I will use her again!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Tukwila is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $83 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.
There are 5,986 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
