“Stephanie is great! She's very calm and collected and you can tell right away she has a lot of valuable experience with dogs. After their first walk, I can already tell my dog Louie is in love with her!!”

“Paula was super responsive and showed up promptly for her walks with Brandy. We got very detailed cards after each walk and Brandy was a happy pup when we got home. We’ve already booked Paula for future walks and dog sitting!”

About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!

“Conner did an excellent job with Benji over the past week, while my regular dog walker was on vacation. Conner was punctual, well organized, affectionate and flexible. Benji came home tired and very happy. I would definitely hire Conner again.”

“Victoria is a great communicator and does a great job caring for my dog. She is great at rolling with the punches not matter what my dogs mood is, sometimes she wants to walk sometimes she wants to lay in the sun and Victoria is great at accommodating it all. She also is flexible with my random schedule changes!”

Liz R.

“Mira walked my pup Peanut who can be a rascal on the leash and did a great job. Also super accommodating with some issues on getting into the building which was much appreciated! 100% would book again!”

Dale L.

“Louis has been a reliable consistent dog walker for our pup. He is very communicative and takes the best photos of our pup. He is quite flexible with time and we appreciate him!”

Calvin P.

“Justin helped take care of our dog while we were away. Our dog is reactive and Justin did a great job of meeting his needs. Justin was communicative and responded to any questions we had. We would definitely use Justin again!”

Olivia J.

“Chip did a wonderful job with our pup Cedar! He was super patient, took the time to let her get comfortable, helped with training, and communicated quite well. Chip understands dog psychology. We will be utilizing his services again in the future!”

Kylie G.

“Kinsley was amazing with our two dogs! She was very considerate - brought treats and a towel when it was raining - and sent very detailed and sweet updates after every walk. She was always on time, responsive, and overall very sweet. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker while I was in the office!”

Sasha S.

“Kristen is great! When I’m away it makes me feel better knowing my dog will have a safe and fun walk, and Kristen takes great care of my dog.”

Leah B.

“Caroline was instantly adored by both my pups. They even went to the restroom more regularly, especially my older dog. Great communication and kind. I look forward to hiring her again! Thank you C!”

Maria W.

“Adrian is such a gem and my dog absolutely adores her! She is extremely trustworthy, responsible, reliable, helpful, and kind. She is excellent with communicating and posting sweet pictures and notes! We will definitely book with her again.”

Sage L.

“Christina did a great job with Doogan! She jumped in to help last minute and demonstrated good patience when taking him out in the rain (which he hates). ❤️”

Olivia B.

“Erica is great- friendly, reliable, communicative- everything you want from the person looking after your dog! Erica has been doing regular walks for our dog and we are so appreciative.”

Andrew M.

“Sylvia was an amazing dog walker for our pup while we were gone on a week long trip. We hadn’t used Rover before or left our dog alone for such a long time so we were a bit nervous, but Sylvia did everything we could have hoped for and more to keep our mind at ease. She met with us and our dog before our trip, and sent great updates and photos throughout the week. Will definitely reach back out to her in the future for our next trip!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience working with animals personally and professionally. I worked professionally at the Tulsa Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals from 2005-2008 and became the manager of puppy care. Upon returning to Seattle, I volunteered for PAWS Animal Shelter providing foster care for bottle feeding kittens and litters too young or sick to reside in the shelter. My former pets include three rescue cats (one with special needs), and one rescue dog. I currently have a 5 year old American Pit Bull Terrier / American Bulldog that I also rescued from PAWS Animal Shelter about a year ago. We love going for walks and hikes together, and visiting Sniffspots around the Seattle area. I love caring for animals and will treat your animals like I treat my own. I currently reside in Ballard and work from home. My work schedule is flexibleal which makes last minute walks and drop-ins easy for me. I have recently reopened my Rover account and hope to get some new clients over the summer months! I work a flexible, part time schedule from home. Both my flexible work hours and the fact that I work from home make both regular and last minute walks and drop-in visits easy for me to do in Ballard and surrounding areas. I always offer free meet and greets either around the neighborhood or in your home to make sure that I am a good for for both you and your pet. When I come to your home for drop-in visits, your animal(s) will be my one and only focus. I am highly respectful of privacy and understand that having a new person in your home can feel vulnerable, especially at first.
