“Niomi is extremely reliable and our dog absolutely loves her. Her enthusiasm for caring for pets is highly evident and she is always on time. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Stella was amazing! Our nervous little dog felt right at home with her and we always knew she was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our little girl.”
“Virginia was so incredibly kind, communicative and helpful at every turn. She stepped in to help pretty last minute when our regular Dogsitter cancelled and she took excellent care of our girl. So grateful for her and will definitely book her again! 10/10!”
“Anastasiia is a fantastic sitter. She got along with our slightly temperamental, but sweet as pie, pittie right away. She’s reliable, punctual, and takes wonderful care of or little monkey. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve started at an early age training blue heelers. I retired my service dog two years ago. She is personally trained of off leash hiking. I have two cats. One loves hiking and biking with me. The other enjoys home activities and cuddles. No matter what your fur babies enjoy I can adapt. They enjoy walks and hikes, or they enjoy a good nap with some good home play I don’t mind. I will send the cutest pics and videos if you enjoy updates. I work Monday through Friday. Six am to two pm. I can take off lunch for potty and play time. Before work we can walk/eat/potty same with after. What ever the diet, exercise, or routine is I will continue them as requested. I understand how important diet, medication and routine is for our fur babies.

“Very great Dog Walker she gives me lots of updates and details and takes care of Haley very well and sends me lots of pictures. I was very impressed and I would definitely use her again. 😄”
“Audrey was great! She was available on short notice for a next-day visit, was easy to communicate with, showed up exactly when she said she would, and did great with our Cavalier puppy! Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have an old English Bulldog who is 9 years old who I love dearly. I watch many friends and family members dogs when they go on vacation. During the summer months I am very flexible to watch/walk pets. During the school year I am available before school, after school, possibly during my lunch break, and the weekends. I love taking care of pets, and I take pride in taking care of them the same way I would want my own pet taken care of.
About: Hello there, my name is Avery! I love all types of animals, both common and exotic pets! I have the most experience with cats, birds, dogs and some small animals (guinea pigs and rabbits). My experience with fish and reptiles is more limited, but I have no problem with caring for either of those as well when given proper instructions and their routines. My only limitations for these pets is that I am only comfortable with handling non-venomous/poisonous types. Pets like snakes, arachnids and rats often get a bad rep, so it is important to me that I can be someone who offers that option of care. These kinds of babies deserve just as much love and respect as common pets too! I intend to keep your home and pets well cared for, and ensure your loving pets are treated as if they were my own while I watch and visit them. I love any and all breeds, whether it’s dogs, cats, birds, or any other unique pets! I only have some slight limitations for very large/giant breeds of dogs depending on the temperament of your pup. If you have a gentle giant who is leash trained well, I have no issue with that! However if you have a giant pup who is sweet but may be a bit intense/pulls frequently during walks, physically it is a bit too much for me to handle at the moment. I am still absolutely open to drop ins and/or house sitting for these cases if you have a fenced yard to potty and play with your babies! I am an organized, clean individual with a sociable, outgoing personality, so I can give your pets the most exciting playtime and walks they can experience! Setting up meet and greets before confirming bookings are highly preferred, as it allows the opportunity for both you and your pets to decide if you feel I am a good fit! It also helps me to be informed of any extra care instructions or quirks your pet may have while still having someone they are familiar with around beforehand. If you have any questions or concerns, I accept both texts and phone calls, and if a call is missed I promise to get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much for showing interest! Currently I am only available for daily walks and check ins starting from Fridays up to Mondays, as I also have an on site part-time job Tuesdays - Thursdays. I am available for house sitting anytime of the week if you are simply requiring someone to watch your empty home, or if you have a low maintenance pet that does not require daily walks (such as any indoor-only pets). However if you are looking for a house+pet sitter with any babies that do require any walks or time outside during my stay, then Fridays-Mondays are applicable to this! I am vigilant in providing the upmost care towards owner's homes and pets and any needs that are communicated with me during my stay. Cleanliness and respect of personal property and boundaries as well as maintaining a pet's routine to help minimize as much stress for them as possible is just as important to me as it is for my clients. If there are ever any additional things in regards to your pet or home that I can do for you (ex. bringing mail in, taking out trash/recycling, plant care etc.) please absolutely let me know!
About: I have owned pets all my life and along the way I’ve picked up a few tricks that I can use. I am also currently learning to become a veterinarian so I have knowledge that can be useful in an emergency. I am doing a summer course that's online so I have lots of free time to keep your pet(s) safe. I have a couple camping trips planned but they are mostly on weekends. My schedule is only open until the 24th of September, after that I’m back in college. I don’t have a fenced in back yard but I can always hook up your pet to a leash. I currently own two dogs who are both crate trained so if they don’t get along my dogs can be crated.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and am very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. As a student-athlete, I’m also very active, so I enjoy long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, care, and companionship. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also accommodate different routines and spend quality time making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications, playtime, walks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, comfort, and supervision while keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: I have a 7-year record of pet care on an as-needed basis. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, senior dogs, and kittens. I have accommodated up to 6 pets at a time. I'd ideally like to meet your pets at least once before caring for them. My summer calender is currently wide open. I update it every week on Sunday morning, so please keep an eye out for any changes to my availability! All animals deserve to feel comfortable and loved in their owners absence. By offering tons of playtime, following their normal routine, and keeping you updated on any and all occurrences (including cute photos of your pets while you're away), I will provide the quality care and assurance that your furball is in the best of care so you can enjoy yourself!
About: I’ve had dogs since I was ten years old and love getting to know them. I will be their calm and confident leader. Safety is my top priority (with fun being close behind) I will tailor each visit to the individual pet depending on their needs and personality. I run with my dog Daisy 4-6 miles a day and would love to adventure with yours! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Beginning in the Fall I will be available every Wednesday & Thursday morning for walks/jogs. As of now I am available for boardings anytime. For walks and jogs I am currently available at various times throughout the week. We are diligent about keeping our doors shut for our pets safety. Our dog has a long leash she can use in order to explore our backyard whenever she wants. I am adaptable and happy to follow each owner’s specific requirements for their home and keep the pets safety as my top priority.
About: *We do not accept bookings that give less than 48 hour notice from the start date. Sorry!* I am a professional dog trainer and breeder of Australian Shepherds. My family and I have moved all over the US and are now back in Washington! I used to run a fully operational boarding facility and board and train program in Island County and have decided to start out slow now that we're settled back in our home state. I have 20 years of experience training dogs- 15 of those years being a paid, licensed and insured professional. I take the utmost care of any animal in my charge. I treat them like family and honor all the requests made by owners to ensure their pet is treated perfectly when they are gone! I understand the love and care people have for their animals and do everything I can to show that same level of care when they are under my watch. I take videos and photos regularly to keep families updated, as well! I am a SAHM with decades of experience in the canine world. My dogs, and my clients, are my life. They are my whole routine! I am equipped to manage all varieties of dogs from the easiest house guest to dog aggressive cases or complicated medical needs. I tailor my services to each individual dog to give them the best possible care and allow their people to have some freedom and know their dog is well cared for. I make sure to chat with owners and let them know what variety of boarding I offer is most suitable for their dog. I am able to make multiple daily trips to feed, potty and play with client dogs in their homes. My times are very flexible and have often done combo stays- where your dog stays the night with me and I drive it to your home during the day and pick up again in the evening. This works well for senior dogs or puppies who need monitoring over night.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Anacortes
I needed to be gone for the entire day and didn’t want my pups to be alone and stuck inside. Ana came for a meet and greet and then visited the day I was gone and walked my dogs two times throughout the day. She sent me pictures and I could see they enjoyed the time with her. Would book her again!!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Anacortes on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Anacortes. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Anacortes.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
