“Kizzie was very professional. Came to meet all our cats and get a breakdown of medications, feeding, and play. Took very thorough notes and kept close contact to ensure everything was up to date. Kizzie went the extra mile several times when things didn't go totally as planned. Highly recommend and will book again.”
“Ella was amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and the entire process was incredibly easy. I needed someone on short notice, and Ella was happy to help by spending time with Kya. She was very responsive, friendly, and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Kya looked so happy! From the moment they met, she liked Ella right away, and it was clear she was comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Ella to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. On a side note—and don’t quote me on this—but I think she even watered my plants! I never asked her to, and I definitely wasn’t expecting it. If she did, that was such a thoughtful and appreciated surprise. Thank you Ella, you will definitely be my to go person for Kya’s care needs”
“April was wonderful! We felt so comfortable having her in our home watching our boy while away for the weekend. She sent us lots of photos and in them it was clear he loved her just as much as we did!”
About: I wasn’t around dogs until I was a young adult and I immediately fell in love. They’re so sweet and funny and adventurous and they all have such different personalities. It’s exciting to see how they interact with new people and new environments. I’m lucky enough to not need to work a full-time job so I get to focus on doing what I enjoy, which is being around animals! It takes a lot of trust between you and the animal, so my approach is always very calm and slow. I don’t want to over excite them or scare them because that can trigger reactivity or cause harm.
“Sam was great! She was very prompt in responding to our last minute booking. She is very kind and attentive to our cats, and provided great updates while we were away. We’d be delighted to book her again!”
“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”
“Brooklin is amazing! She’s flexible, considerate, and will really communicate with you. She isn’t afraid to clean up after pets and will take good care of your babies!”
About: Been a pet owner in some form since age 7, worked at a dog day care in Edmonds facility for 5 years and I am the go-to for all my friends and family for pet care when they are away. I'm very good at reading cats and dogs, adore spending time with them and love the exercise that comes with walks. I am currently a student taking night classes, I have open availability all week especially in the daytime but am open to night walks that work with my school schedule! Currently only have class Monday and Wednesday starting at 6pm. I have dog and cat sat in the past for various neighbors and friends, always respectful will spend as little or as much time as the home as you want!
About: I've taken care of family pets since I was young, and I recognize that every dog might need a unique outlook. I was trained by my sister who is an animal behavior specialist to look out for tells and try different approaches when one isn't working. I've cared for dogs big and small, from 80lb labs with crazy energy to timid teacups, and every house I've lived in for the last 15 years has had at least one feline friend. I work from home and have ample transportation, so I'm pretty flexible with my schedule, especially in the afternoon. I'm open to anywhere in the Seattle area, but I can get to anywhere in Tukwila/Renton/Rainier Valley the quickest. Every pet parent has their own methods, and I would love to hear what works best for you - if you have a particular feeding, crating, or walking ritual, I will adapt to this and make it routine. I'm also open to experimenting- if something isn't working for your pet and you want to try a different approach, I'd love to learn with you what works best.
“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: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“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!”
“Mary went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well cared for while we were away. She even let me know an item was out. She paid attention to details and gave detailed notes and bonded with my cat. So awesome”
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.
“I couldn't ask for a more thoughtful sitter to care for my two cats! Nazli maintained great communication during their visits and made sure both feline friends were happy in my absence. I would definitely book again.”
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!

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.
