“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.”

“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! (:”


“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!”

“Brooklin was a pleasure to work with. She came to the house for a meetup to get to know each other and the dogs. She is courteous, professional and demonstrated much experience with dogs. She arrived promptly for the drop in and did everything we had discussed days earlier. She also spent some time playing with our dogs and giving them some extra attention. I would not hesitate to call on Brooklin again to look after our dogs.”

“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.”

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.
“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.”


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.
About: I grew up taking care of big dogs, including a German Sheppard and Lab. Since 2017, I have been taking care of dogs and cats professionally. The small black dog in my photo is Jimmy, who loves playing with dogs, is my son. He loves have a dog playmate over. If this is your first time on rover, please use my referral code to save $20 https://www.rover.com/sit/amychampagne I work remotely and your pup will get plenty of love all day. My job has flexible hours and I’m able to work with your pet’s schedule. I always send pictures and videos of your critter(s), some pictures are better than others depending on how still I can get him/her to be! I have a car, so I love to take your pup on adventures and in an emergency can safely take them to a hospital. Thank you for checking out my page and have a lovely day. I always have time to take great care with your pup. We go on morning and evening walks. If it’s nice out, we’re usually in the yard, often playing. I live in a house, so plenty of space for playing and I will keep your dog on the main floor with the only step being to the yard. I have a car in case we need an emergency vet visit. Experience giving pets medicine orally.

About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.
“Grace is fantastic, they were timely and very sweet to the dogs. She even pick up the stuffing from the toy one of the dogs had pulled out. We will absolutely work with Grace again.”

“Jillian is great with my cats and follows the instruction for their routine well. This was my 2nd booking with Jillian, will definitely book again for future cat sitting!”


About: Hello! My speciality is taking your dog(s) for a good run/jog, and returning them happy and hungry, ready to conk out! At a pace tailored to their needs/abilities, I can handle any age/size and any energy level! I find that most dogs respond well to an energetic/playful pace, with minimal leash pressure/guidance, they want to GO. I always stay aware of where their attention is at, if they need a bathroom/scent marking break or a chance to investigate a good smell, or a panting breather (or if I do), I will of course cater to that! I Prefer 60 min sessions, 2.5-5 mile jogs depending on the dog's capability and neighborhood terrain. Comfortable with 1-3 dogs per run, it's easier if they are of similar pace, but I'm okay managing being pulled by the leader, don't worry, it won't transfer to dragging the slowpoke! 11 Years of experience, just new to this platform, curious how much it will help grow my customer base, what with a more open schedule this fall/winter. I know there are some Huskys, some Sheepherders,Mountain dogs and some Malinois that are dying to join me! I find these guys endurance carries further than the pure speed of the sprinter dogs, but of course all are welcome in hand! Prices are set with the jogging+ pace in mind, if just looking for a true Walking pace(usually for the elderly canines), I'm open to offering a lower walking rate. My schedule is fairly open at the current point in time, only a few credits worth of classes and recreational sports, otherwise if within a reasonable distance I should be available most days/evenings I do not offer boarding, my lease is a no pet lease, but in terms of dropping in to a client's home, I have pride in upkeeping the utmost integrity, and basically act as if under constant surveilance at all times, mainly by my own conscience, but likely by home security as well. I have nothing to hide in my behavior.

In me they have people they trust in the care of their dog. I have a large, fenced yard, for greater comfort for the animals.

About: Hi there my name is Katie and I’ve been pet sitting/ housesitting for about 8 years now. I love what I do and I go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of your pet(s) and home. Not only do I provide top quality care and lots of cuddles and love for your pet(s) but I also bring in packages and mail, do walks, water any plants, take trash and recycle out to the curb, give plenty of updates with pictures if requested, and finally I will leave your home better, than when I first arrived. Im still available for housesitting this Christmas and I’m still available for housecalls so I would reach out soon to make sure that your home base is covered while you are away! Thank you to everyone ☺️ I will have the capability to work around the needs and wants that you have for your animals because I’m self employed with the ability to design my own schedule. I’ve been doing this for a long time and one thing I know is to go by the comfort level of the pets. Lots of times I’ve worked with rescue dogs who have a hard time meeting new people. In cases like those I follow the dogs lead. I am in their space, therefore trust must be built, some more slowly but in the end, I aim to keep everyone safe and happy.

About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 17, and over the years I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’m used to being a consistent and reliable presence in a pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable giving medications and supporting both young and senior dogs with different needs. I especially love working with puppies! That’s really where my heart is. I use positive reinforcement, routine, and clear (but gentle) boundary setting, and I take the time to understand each pup’s personality so I can adapt to them, not the other way around. I want pets to feel happy in their environment, not just managed, and my ultimate goal is for everyone involved, pets and humans, to feel supported in the way they need to thrive. My background is in social work, which really shapes how I show up with animals too: patient, attentive, and tuned into emotional and behavioral needs. In my free time, I love reading across every genre and learning about astrology, so I bring a calm, curious, and intuitive energy into the care I provide. I work independently and by contract, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m usually available for in-home pet sitting with as little as two days’ notice. Having WiFi in your home makes it easy for me to take care of a few light work commitments during the week (Mon–Thurs), while still being fully present and attentive with your pet. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating an environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and personality so I can adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest, and I use positive reinforcement and gentle boundaries, especially with puppies and high-energy dogs. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, and I adjust throughout the day to meet their needs — whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or more structured activity. I also believe communication and preparation are key. I ask that all emergency contacts, vet information, and care instructions are shared ahead of time, and I strongly prefer a meet and greet before booking. This helps ensure I’m a good fit for your pet’s specific needs and that everyone feels comfortable and confident moving forward. Overall, my goal is for pets to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I want their time with me to feel calm, familiar, and loving, so both pets and their humans can feel at ease

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!

Stephanie took great care of my 3.5 month old mini dachshund puppy (Siggi) for a few hours while I had to be away. Stephanie was prompt, communicative, and followed instructions. Best of all, she and Siggi got along very well and I'm glad he has a new reliable friend!

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 ❤️

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 of Pet Sitting in Tukwila is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $39 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 12,689 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Tukwila. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
