About: Happy Trails & Wagging Tails Hello, I'm Jess, and I love being outdoors just as much as your dog does. If there's a trail to hike, a route to run, or a bike path to cruise, I would love to have your four-legged friend along for the adventure. Why your pup will have a blast: Your dog won't be stuck on the couch while you're away. Depending on their energy level and age, they'll get adventurous runs and hikes, a fun fetch playtime, or a gentle walk around the block, and of course plenty of cuddles when it's time to wind down. I'll happily match your dog's pace, whether that's a trail-loving athlete or a laid-back senior who prefers a sniffari-stroll. Why you can trust me: For the past 5 years, I've been caring for my friends' dogs, from quick walks and feeding check-ins to long overnight stays. I'm comfortable sticking to your dog's routine, following feeding and medication instructions and schedules, and keeping a close eye on how they're doing. You'll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. A little about me: I'm active, reliable, and definitely the girl asking if I can pet your dog. If you run into me around town, it will most likely be out on the trails, in the climbing gym, or yoga studio. Or possibly the farmers market, or local community events around town. My main activities are running, hiking, backpacking, swimming, biking, climbing and mountaineering, and the more relaxing at-home hobbies include, baking, sewing, crafts, and planning fun girls nights with my friends. Send me a message if you're interested in setting up a meet and greet! I'd love to meet you and your best friend. I'm currently (recently) unemployed , and looking for pet-care to be somewhat of a part-time endeavor while I work on establishing self-employment working from home. With that said, I have lots of flexibility with my time and availability to work with your schedule and daily/weekly routines and needs. I have both had dogs stay with me in my home. I live in a 2 story townhouse with a small back patio. I have kept small and large dogs here without any issue. Usually I take dogs on a bathroom walk around the neighborhood, and for running or hiking, take them on trails. I have a running/bungee leash I use for running, but can use whatever harness, collar, and leash is preferred by the dog and owner. I have room for a crate if needed for overnight stays, but it would need to be provided as I do not own one. I have an SUV, and room for a dog bed and can hold a large dog in the back to transport for hikes or trail runs as needed.
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”
About: Hi! I'm Mary Beth! I work for NOAA currently as a scientist. I'm looking for a productive way to harness my love of pets. My very first job was dog walking while on my paper route. I have walked, watched, and trained dogs for as long as I can remember. The neighborhood I grew up in knew me as the go to girl for pet sitting while on vacation. I am ready and willing to be of service to you and your furry family. As a fish biologist I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I am very excited to get to know your pet whether it be boarding or just a quick walk. Can't wait to hear from you and care for your pet.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs and other animals my entire life! I love looking after others animals and understand how hard it is to find time to juggle life along with exercising/spending time with your dogs. I would love to help anyone out and spend some time with their dog and/or take them on walks! I’m also open to overnight house sitting jobs :) I just graduated from WWU and my schedule is currently very open! I am free in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, whatever works best for you! I am unable to accommodate pets in my home, but I have a car and am more than happy to come to you! I value the respect of others property and in the case of a house sitting job, I will always do my best to leave your home just as I found it.
About: I have experience caring for pets of various ages and temperaments, which has prepared me to confidently manage a wide range of situations and provide dependable support in times of need! As a full time Kinesiology student at Western Washington University, I build pet care into my daily and weekly routine just like I do with my classes and training. My rhythm is structured and organized, which allows me to reliably set aside time for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. Being active and studying movement also makes spending time with pets a natural fit—I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor activity, and consistency into their care while balancing my academic responsibilities. In my clients home I will make sure to foster a safe, comforting, and attentive environment for their furry companion such as being conscientious of potty breaks, crate time, and playtime!
About: A responsible, caring, and very communicative sitter currently offering house sitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I’m here to give your best friends all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away! My genuine affection for animals means that I will provide attentive and passionate pet care. I connect with your pets on their level, respecting their boundaries and appreciating their different personalities. I’ve happily bonded with picky cats, soothed anxious pups and assisted animals with special needs. I provide you with the consistent and continuous communication you need to feel at ease while you’re away. You can expect detailed daily updates with plenty of photos and fast response times! I grew up in an animal loving household where I cared for animals from a young age. It’s important to me that all animals are treated with respect and kindness, and I’m excited to share that love with your pets! Your pets happiness is the most important thing to me and its crucial that I get a chance to meet them to make sure we’re a good fit! Meet and greets are a must before booking! I work nights on the weekends so I am only available for care during the day but weekdays are mostly free! I am student so during the school year I might have in person classes but this December I will be off for winter break! Along with keeping your pet happy, I will ensure they are safe and well cared for. I treat all pets as if they were my own! I currently don’t offer boarding but while I’m in your home you can expect a quiet, clean, and considerate sitter. I will make sure to respect the boundaries of anxious pets and give the cuddle bugs all the hugs and pets! In case of emergencies, please provide me with updated vet information. Your pets safety is a priority!
About: I am an experienced dog mom and dog whisperer. I have cared for all kinds of dogs small and large, young and old and special needs as well. I’m currently available full time for daytime and overnight (in your home) pet care. I use local beaches, parks and hiking trails for walking and sniff enrichments as well as fenced dog parks if your pup is amiable to that environment! I have a dog to keep yours company and play together. I walk them 3-4 times a day for enrichment and potty breaks. My pup enjoys rolling in the grass and watching for rabbits and squirrels.
About: Not only do I have over 30 years of personal pet experience, I've got decades of experience fostering pets of all types and volunteering with animals! My career is working with marine invertebrates and fish, plus at home I care for birds, reptiles, amphibians fresh water fish and shrimp, insects and a large senior dog! Dogs are my favorite people, and I really enjoying getting to know each pup and providing them exactly what they need to feel stimulated, safe and happy. I'm happy to train your pup with the commands and treats of your choosing and do some light grooming along with walks(or car rides with the window down for the most senior doggos if you prefer!) I'm a mom! And I'm passionate about animal care. Weekends are easiest for me to give your pet a LOT of attention, if needed. But I can do weekday care as well with my flexible schedule. If your dog has a favorite walking place, I'm happy to travel with them there if it's in town. My dog loved the Lake Padden dog park in his youth, even though we went to many dog parks! I know how important it is for most dogs to keep their routine! I prefer to visit your home to care for your pets. They will usually feel more comfortable in their own home. If your doggo needs to shadow someone at all times to feel secure, we can talk about your pup staying at my home instead. My senior dog loves a good cuddle partner or romp in the big fenced yard out back! Dogs that stay at my home would have a choice of sleeping on the dog bed in my room or on the bed with me and my pup. Or, there is also the choice of sleeping in my kid's room as well, if your dog prefers older kids who are great with dogs!
About: As a kid, I lived on a farm for almost a decade. I would help my mom clean out the horse stalls and feed the chickens. We also had four dogs and cats I helped walk and feed. I rescued my two kitty cats Baela & Frank from A neglectful household. As an online college student My schedule is fairly flexible at this time. Feel free to ask me anything about my availability! I am willing to make it work if you really need a sitter on one of the days I am unavailable. Additionally, I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! Please do t hesitate to ask me more questions about how I spend my free time! What you can expect from me for your animal is a safe and loving supportive environment. I have two cats but no other pets unfortunately, so this is a great opportunity for me to be around other animals as well! This is also a great opportunity for me to gain more experience. Thank you for your consideration!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Agate Bay
We have a reactive and anxious dog, and I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. As soon as I met Michael I felt totally comfortable with him caring for my dog. He took the time to get to know her with a couple drop in visits before watching her for a weekend. He listens to instructions well and you can definitely tell he loves all animals. We will continue to use Michael for daily walks and when we are out of town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 896 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Agate Bay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Agate Bay. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Agate Bay after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Agate Bay. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
