“5 stars again for Kizzie! I hire Kizzie every time I need to leave town because I am 100% confident that my cats are in good hands. The updates are good, the care is good, the communication is good, 10/10.”
About: I grew up always having a dog(s), and started walking friends and families dogs when I was around 8 years old. I have experience handling dogs of various sizes (2lb - 140lb) and ages (0-15). I’ve also trained two dogs starting when they were 4 months: one was a pitbull and the other a plott hound. I am currently home from college, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available mornings, midday and evenings, 7 days a week for your doggos! At home I have a 4 year old plott hound that has access to a fenced in yard and three walks a day. My cat gets free roam of the house (of course).
“Our first time using Rover and Mckenzie was great. Arrived on time, spent extra time taking care of our boys. Provided photos and a detailed report of the visit. Thank you Mckenzie! Much appreciated.”
About: Hi, I'm Sam. I have loved animals all my life and wanted to be a zookeeper in 5th grade. I have previously worked in a vet's office where I walked many different dogs twice a day, as well as a doggie daycare called Wags and Wiggles down in Orange County where I supervised many dogs at once and managed their play. I’m currently a stay at home mom taking care of my 18 month old son and have a flexible schedule weekdays. I’m a former teacher. I am respectful of all you have set up in your home to care for your pet. I have lots of experience in different home settings ups.
About: I have always loved animals and always had a pet or two when I was growing up. I used to be a human caregiver lol. Now super excited to care for you're fur babies of all sizes! Being a dogless person now since my fur baby crossed the rainbow, this is my chance to get my "fur fix"! I am currently working part-time and helping with my father, but I believe this pet-sitting opportunity would be a fulfilling way to combat stress and satisfy my love for animals. I'm accustomed to working in other people's homes because of my caregiving work, especially with seniors and their pets. I'm confident that, after learning about each pet's unique needs and preferences from their owners, I can provide them with the same loving care as my own.
“Brendan is a standout sitter, my cat is very shy (he only comes out for my mom) and Brendan had him coming out for pets halfway through my trip. Will definitely book again! This has been my best rover experience so far.”
“April was absolutely wonderful with my old lady kitty while I was away, and really went above and beyond. You can tell immediately that April loves cats, and is very in tune with their behavior. I will be reaching out for all future bookings!”
About: I’m a gentle and active pet lover with lifelong experience caring for animals. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and have grown up with pets, including cats, a Doberman, and another Aussie, so I’m comfortable with many breeds and personalities. I love staying active with dogs and understand how important both physical exercise and mental stimulation are. I enjoy walks, playtime, and enrichment activities that keep dogs happy, balanced, and well-behaved. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique needs and routines. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. Weekdays I am available early mornings to afternoon until 4 pm. Weekends: depending, case by case basis. Sundays after 12 pm. Please write in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their routine closely, ensure they are always supervised, and adjust care based on their needs. I provide a calm, positive environment and keep your home clean and respected while caring for your pet. I also make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation through safe, engaging activities.
“Kaitlyn was amazing. Kaitlyn went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were safe, fed, watered, and respected our place completely. We can't express the bounds of our gratitude We feel for using Kaitlyn as our dogs sitter.”
About: I'm paw-sitively the best option, I'm not kitten around! If you choose to leave your pet with me you won't have to worry! I have had a vast array of pets since I was a young boy; cats, dogs, iguanas, even a possum and a crow at one point. Your pets care and comfort are my priority. Upon choosing me as your caretaker your pets won't feel sad to have you gone, they will be thinking "when will that one guy with the treats be here?". I have experience with puppies, kittens and dogs of all sizes. I am an elevator technician but was laid off, I'll be back to work as soon as there is more work, but until then getting paid to hang out with all sorts of animals hardly seems like work! Seems like a healthy, fun way to pass the time and make a little money on the side. A win win situation! As of now I don't do in home sitting because I own a condo, one dog is plenty here! Maybe in the future I will open this option.
“Carly was very easy to work with and provided great communication while we were away. She also provided great care to the cat and always gave detailed checkins. Highly recommended”
“Brooke was fantastic! She is patient, thoughtful / thorough, and communicative - My kitties can be needy, and it was a relief to know that they were in great hands with someone who is so attentive and great with cats!”
“Brooklin is truly the best. She was incredibly helpful and flexible during booking. While we were gone, she took absolutely amazing care of our kitties, sent frequent and thorough updates, and went above and beyond to ensure that they were happy and healthy the whole time! She even brought over fans to help keep them cool during a heat wave. Hands down the best pet sitter we’ve ever used and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Very easy to talk to and communicative. Jisu did an excellent job updating us throughout the week of dogsitting. Sent lots of photos too! She was gentle with our dogs and took time to make sure my anxious dog ate her food.”
“Jasmin has been watching my kitties for a while now, she is my go to sitter and has been pretty accommodating on short notice. I know Gandalf and Puffin get the love and attention when she visits.”
“Xiaotong was great! She was very responsive and reliable. We appreciated that she was able to come for a meet and greet at the last minute and then took good care of our cats when we were gone.”
About: I've had family pets since I was a child and gravitate towards dogs as an adult. I learned a lot about dog training as a puppy raiser for a service dog organization, in this role I fostered and trained a service puppy for a year! I love being in the outdoors and will often take dogs out on hikes or mountain bike rides. I work full-time, but only in the evenings and occasional weekends. My partner works a normal 9-5 so generally a dog would not be alone longer than 4-5 hours. We have a small/medium sized fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I understand it can be anxiety inducing to leave your pup with a stranger, so I will communicate with daily updates/photos/videos to let you know how it's going. When pups are left alone I want them to be safe, especially being in a new space, so I will use a crate if that's something they are used to. I am fine with other arrangements too if you feel it is safe to do so.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Tukwila is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tukwila
We cannot recommend Mary highly enough! She has been helping us for quite some time, and she has been nothing short of amazing. Not only is she incredibly loving and caring with our puppy, Luna, but she is also extremely reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We always have peace of mind knowing Luna is in such good hands. Mary consistently keeps us updated, genuinely cares about Luna's well-being, and goes above and beyond every time. We are so grateful to have found her and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
Brendan was nothing short of incredible! He took exceptional care of our kitties and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of our kitties requires three daily medications and Brendan did such a good job administering them. We will absolutely rebook Brendan the next time we’re out of town.
Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of our three kitties while we were on our trip. She sent pictures of them every day and left us notes with all of the things she did for them during her drop-ins. She was so sweet and caring and our kitties grew very fond of her. If we take another trip in the future, I will be sure to hire her again, the peace of mind that she allowed us to have while being away was priceless ❤️
Kaitlyn did a great job checking on our kitties while my husband and I were out of town. She has excellent communication skills and made sure to keep us updated throughout each visit. One of our cats is somewhat standoffish, so it's important to us that any visitors or sitters respect his personal space, which is exactly what Kaitlyn did. We look forward to re-booking with Kaitlyn for our upcoming travels. Thank you, Kaitlyn!
Reliable and trustworthy pet sitter! I know my kitty is in good hands with June (Hong). She is very flexible and takes plenty of photos. I appreciate the extra steps she takes to maintain a clean and tidy space as well as the attention and care she provides for my cat while I am away!
Fei was incredibly communicative and so sweet with our cats. She is clearly a lover of animals, and I felt immediately comfortable having her take care of our two kitties for a week while we were gone. She sent regular pictures and seemed to get to know their personalities quite quickly, she asked great questions on our walk-through and I really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her highly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Tukwila on Rover is $25.68 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,927 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tukwila. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Tukwila stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tukwila. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
