“April was amazing with our cat and gave us peace of mind while away. He is a shy guy so having him warm up to her quickly was reassuring. She sent us lots of photos, played with our cat, brushed him, and made sure food, water, and litter were always fresh. So grateful for her!”
“Chaunecey was absolutely wonderful. Followed directions, communicated well, and always made sure my babies were well taken care of! I loved the little commentaries she’d have with each visit! Would absolutely recommend to anyone! (:”
“Savonne was a fantastic sitter for my dog. She followed instructions perfectly. She was very communicative, and also easy going. My Haru was a very happy girl when I came back to her. I would request again!”
About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.
About: Raised around dogs (and cats) and would love to care for your pets in my home or yours. Comfortable with senior dogs as well as others. I am retired and available any time. I would need a couple of days' notice, preferably. I live in an apartment with a beautiful dog-walking area and nearby parks to walk in. I no longer have pets of my own, having just lost my 17-year-old Rat Terrier. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I can administer medications and make sure they feel safe with me. I don't push, but let them come to me when they feel ready. Separation from you is anxiety-inducing, and I do my best to calm them and let them now they are not alone.
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”

I am a pretty available person, i do college online, so I i have lots of time to take care of pets. I would be a great fit for you I care for pets in whatever need myy client needs and whatever they specify. At my home, I take care of pets very carefully.And I am very careful especially in the first few days, when the pets are still stressed out Learning about a new environment
“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of our kitties and keeping me updated on visits. They loved her and we look definitely plan on having her care for them again in the future.”
About: My biggest wish as a kid was to own a big dog, I now have 4 huskies (40-80lbs) and a chihuahua. I have 8 years with them now and have seen it all. I have learned all about their body language and how they communicate. Ill be comfortable even if you have a reactive dog. we can work together if they are in training. I am an early bird. I'm up at 5, ready scripture, walk my dogs and ready by 7am. Now that my kid is in school I'm free till 3 pm I have experience with heavy pullers, if your dog pulls its no biggie to me. I can take my time for the dogs that like to smell and/or run if you have a puppy with energy!
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.
“Carly was awesome! She was very timely and completed all of the tasks that was assigned even some tasks that we added on last minute! It was very easy to maintain contact with her as she was a fast responder. Our normally very shy cat loved her!”
About: As well as being well cared for, your dog will be engaged in an array of activities. I enjoy hiking and would love to take your dog on a jaunt through the woods. I have also had experience in dog training and have had success in teaching my last dog some useful/entertaining tricks. I provide a safe environment. There are multiple recreational parks nearby as well as a large soccer field for outdoor activities. I offer flexible hours and will be willing to work around your schedule. I am capable of handling large breeds. I offer more than sitter for your dog. I would care for your dog as if it was my own. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to meeting your dog. I am a merchant mariner. A sailor. And when I'm off the boat, I AM off the boat and on my own time and schedule. I have a fully fenced yard. No other pets to contend with and a very safe neigbborhood with neighbors who look out for one another.
“Brooklin is so patient with our dogs. This was the first time she’d came to our home and they were very vocal to her being in their space. She was a trooper and won them over. Thank you Brooklin!”
“I was very nervous using Rover for the first time. Nhan made it so easy, left really detailed updates after each visit with lots of pictures, and was incredibly communicative and helpful. I'm so thankful for his incredible reliability and diligent care of my house of four furry friends.”
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.

Kizzie always does an incredible job with our cats. We have cats with digestive issues, when that needs medicine each feeding, and an elderly cat. Not only does Kizzie take great care of their needs, but she will often go above and beyond. Highly recommend for anyone needing pet care.
I cannot begin to express how amazing Hailey is! On her last booking with me my kitty got very sick, she took initiative and made sure she got to the vet emergency room and kitty ended up needing emergency surgery. Some other pet sitters may not have been so observant or disregarded what was happening. I truly believe she saved my kitty's life. Hailey is an absolute Angel and I am so grateful for her!
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 ❤️
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!

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 September 2026, there are 12,867 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.
