About: I am a lifelong dog lovers and work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with one well-trained Weimaraner, age 5, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, exercise, and enrichment, and genuinely enjoy spending time training and engaging with dogs of all personalities. My home also includes our respectful 9-year-old child, creating a warm, family-oriented environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm routine, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Live right across the street from the SeaTac botanical gardens with many trails to go on adventures and get exercise. Just a minute away from SeaTac Airport. Work from home, and have plenty of time to play and give your pups attention throughout the day. Love going on walks after work at 3:30pm I have a fenced yard with plenty of room, and a friendly pup to keep yours company, love training, walking and cuddle time and can crate them if needed.
“Christopher was awesome! He agreed to watch my dog Fitz at the last minute. He was aware of Fitz’s separation anxiety and gave him lots of extra attention. He also sent me many updates throughout his stay to let me know he was doing well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a responsive, attentive dog sitter!”
“I really appreciate Jenny’s calm demeanor when I asked to bring my dog twice to make sure the dogs got along. She sent pictures daily to let me know how my dog is getting along with her dogs. Most important when I came to pick up my dog, he did not immediately ask to leave so that was a good sign he did not hate his vacation there. Thanks so much for taking care of my 10 year old little guy. Bonus that Jenny lives close to the airport so east pick up. Will definitely have Jenny watch my dog again when we go on vacation.”
“Erika was AMAZING with our fur babies! We have two older dogs, one of which is a ~16 year old yorkie that requires A LOT of attention and care. Her attention to details and level of care and love she gave to them is unmatched! She has a great home that was perfect for both of them to feel safe and comfortable the entire stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies, it means a lot to know we have someone who we can trust to care for them while we are traveling! We will absolutely be a customer again in the future! 😁”
“Joe and Sarah were wonderful! We were nervous trying out Rover for the first time with our timid pup, but within a day we received update photos of her cuddling with them and even getting playful. We highly recommend them!”
“Ali has been absolutely perfect in every way for taking care of our dog! We had a long trip and she was super responsive and reliable. We got lots of memorable pictures. Look forward to the next boarding trip!”
“My pups had a wonderful sleepover with this wonderful family. They were very relaxed when dropping off and picking up. The entire family goes out of their way to make your pets feel comfortable in their home.”
“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!”
“Francine is our go-to. There’s nothing I don’t love about how she communicates and cares for Grey. She doesn’t even live close anymore and we still reach out to her first. Thanks Francine for caring for G like she’s your own!!”
“Leslie was amazing. She handled situations with ease. My dog Scoti had a few pee accidents in her house and she still agreed to keep him. She kept us informed each day and was very patient with our dogs. I would love to work with her again.”
“Alison is absolutely amazing! This was our first time using a Rover sitter we hadn’t previously met, and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She arranged a meet-and-greet at her house, showed us where Olive would be staying, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Alison kept in regular contact and sent multiple photos every day, which really put us at ease. She went out of her way to make sure Olive exercised and had lots of play time in addition to regular walks. Olive was so well cared for and happy, she didn’t want to go home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using Alison’s services again in the future!”
“They did an amazing job watching my dog for a long trip! Sent lots of great photos, communicated well, kept me updated, and kept my dog happy, active, and safe! I would definitely recommend!”
“Many thanks to Cynthia and Edward for keeping Pierre. Now that he is getting older, we are anxious when we need to leave him with someone. They were great with him and sent us pictures and updates while we were away. Their dog and cat were great with Pierre and the picture of the dogs in deep slumber was satisfying to see. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for dogs in my family from chihuahuas to huskies and have always enjoyed making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Since I work from home, I’m always able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I also live near a trail where I can give them plenty of walks. My goal is to provide a safe, caring, and comfortable home away from home for the dogs. Since I work from home, I can give dogs plenty attention throughout the day if needed. Since I live near a trail, I can also give them fun walks out in nature. Dogs I sit can free roam around my house. They can sleep on beds and couches as well. I have a fenced front yard and a fenced back yard as well. I always give dogs at least one 30 min walk a day. For more active dogs I can walk even up to an hour if weather is nice.
“Tomas took such good care of Brady! He kept us updated with pictures, and Brady loved all the play time and snuggles. Everything was very smooth, even with our last minute booking, and we appreciated how he went above and beyond!”
“My dog Titus had a great stay and refused to leave when I came to pick him up :) Aaron asked questions to get to know Titus and had provided consistent updates.”
“Melissa and Kyle were so great!! Our pup had the best time with their two goldens. I could tell she was very well cared for and had a blast!!! Will definitely use them again!!! Thank you guys so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
Our young dog just wrapped up his third stay at Xilian’s place this weekend, and it was another great experience. Xilian sent regular photo updates, and you can really see how comfortable our pup is there- he was treated like part of the family! He had a blast hanging out with Xilian, her family, and the other dogs. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! :-)
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!
Josh is a Rockstar Rover! We are usually worried our pup won't want to say goodbye to Josh at the end of his stay because he always has such a wonderful time. Josh also did a pickup and dropoff for us this time, and it was really easy and helped save us a lot of time on our busy travel days.
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.

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 .
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.

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.
