“Lyn has walked my senior large breed dog, Olive, several times. Lyn is reliable, communicates well, and most importantly, always takes great care of Olive! I would love for her to continue walking Olive.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Dog Walking Experience with Jeffrey P! I cannot recommend Jeffrey P enough! He took my 14-month-old Siberian Husky, Henry, out for an hour-long walk yesterday, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Henry is full of energy and can be quite a handful, but Jeffrey handled him with such skill, patience, and care. When Henry returned home, he was happy, well-exercised, and completely content—exactly what every Husky owner hopes for! Jeffrey’s professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for dogs truly set him apart. It’s clear that he understands how to work with high-energy breeds, and I felt completely at ease knowing Henry was in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker, Jeffrey P is the best choice. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Erin is so reliable and always goes above and beyond. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone I can trust and don’t have to worry about with my dog! I’ve been using her weekly since our first walk :)”
“Melissa has been a wonderful walker for my dog! She treats him just like her own pets and also points out to me if he has any issues I need to pay attention to. We have really enjoyed Melissa as a regular walker.”
“Justin was an incredibly reliable walker for our sweet Milli girl. He made sure to meet her beforehand, was very communicative throughout the duration of our booking, and never went even slightly under the 30 minutes we booked (often going a bit over). We will definitely book Justin again, and recommend him highly to others looking for dog walking services.”
“Jana was great! She responded quickly, was understanding when my original plans changed, sent pictures, and was patient with my pup. Will definitely reach out to her in the future!”
“Sarah was amazing with my dog! He was very anxious and had some adjustment issues, and she communicated with me through it all and was very patient managing through it. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Having grown up with dogs all my life, I am a true animal lover. I enjoy teaching tricks, playing, and simply spending time with them. Since moving for school, I currently don't have any dogs and am eager for an opportunity to be around them again! I work from home and can easily take time throughout the week to dog walk and/or drop in. I also have flexibility with where I work. My easiest availability is Mondays through Fridays. I like to take the time to understand your dog’s needs and behavior in order to best care for them! I could bring dogs into my home if needed, but I am in an apartment.
About: Ive had years of pet sitting and veterinary experience, developing a verity of skills with cats and dogs. Im able to help with difficult and elderly animals, assist with medication, and strict feeding guidelines. Im currently getting ready for art school, so this summer I have plenty of time to spend time with your pets! I usually go to the gym at night, but will always sleep over if needed. I be sure to respect your home and your pet. I want to make sure your cat is stimulated as needed and your dog is getting as much exercise as they would get if you were home.
About: Since I was a child, I have been surrounded by puppy kisses and cat purrs! Friends, neighbors, and family members happily allowed me to walk their dogs and look after them while they were out of town, and my adoration for caring for animals is something I still carry with me. Growing up, I had three dogs that I cared for from puppy to senior, along with a senior cat my family adopted. In their old age, each pet had different needs, for example my pug's back legs were immobile and required assistance moving anywhere and needed medication. For me, caring for animals is caring for family, and building strong bonds. I love dogs at any age and am excited to get to know new animals through playing, hiking, and cozy nights in cuddling. I am currently a college student with a part time job, and have varied availability! This summer I am available nearly every day with the exception of a few weeks in July-August. Mornings and afternoons usually are best for me, sometimes this changes and I have further availability into the evening. I value open communication with folks around boundaries as we build connections with each other. If you have any specific needs or requests on how I navigate your home, please do let me know! I am not only caring for your pet, but your space too, and want to be intentional and respectful.
“Ryan’s awesome and got Lu out of the house asap for us! Luna loves her daily walks and I’ve been out of commission for a bit so it was so nice to trust Ryan to deliver on giving her the best time!! Thanks Ryan it means a lot to us.”
About: I treat every dog and cat like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.Im patient dependable and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention. Taking care of pets fits easily into my routine I already go on daily walks I would enjoy having a dog companion with me along the way. In my home or the clients home I follow the pets usual routine as closely as possible.I make sure they’re fed walked played with and comfortable with plenty of attention and care.
About: Hello! I’m 30-years-old and have had both dogs and cats most of my life. While most of us had pets in our childhood, I got my own dog when I was in my early 20s in undergrad. A German Shepherd puppy I named Murph. He was a joy and a handful, but I loved him all the same. He was unexpectedly put down in May of 2025 due to heart failure at 8-years-old (but hey, that’s still a pretty good life for a 100-pound German shepherd!). While I’m not ready to move on from him, I am ready to show your pets the same love he got! I also have two black cat sisters named Clementine and Clover. For the last three years, I’ve been a practicing attorney who has managed immense caseloads and packed schedules. So, you know that you are getting some who is hardworking, responsible, and has the attention to detail your pet may need (whether they’re old, young, fast paced, or slow). I’m ready to make your loved ones continue to feel loved with pet sitting, play dates, walks, or anything in between! I recently moved to Washington to better address my partner’s health concerns, so for the time being I am waiting to start my new job later this summer. Until then, I am able to work my schedule around your pet’s desires! Once I start in my new legal office, I will still be relatively flexible for the people that want to keep me in their pet’s lives. I will be able to be available in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. I will always be available over weekends. In the event that I’m not available on a given day, I will be very upfront in that and will likely have references for people I think your pets would like to be cared for by. I currently live in an apartment that overlooks a park in the Central District for easy walks and bathroom breaks. I also have my own car and access to my partner’s car for trips to groomers, vets, dog parks, etc. I do live with my two cats, but they are friendly and do not mind company ( and if they do, they have places to hide that they love sleeping in). If I am going into your home, I have no issues following any instructions you have for me. The last cat I pet sat for had a 7-step process for making their dinner, I didn’t mind in the slightest because I knew I was making his day.
“Dale offered to meet and greet which is also a plus when working with a new walker. Arrived on time for both meet and greet and walks, thank you Dale I will rebook.”
About: I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable cats, an adult cat I’ve had for two years and a playful kitten I adopted in January! I absolutely love them to death and treat them like family. From daily playtime and cuddles to keeping up with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and giving them lots of love and attention, I’ve learned how to care for cats at different stages. I’m very attentive, responsible, and patient with them. I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I give my own! You can trust that they’ll be in safe, loving hands while you’re away :) I’m available Monday through Saturday starting at 10:00 AM. I have good flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening services (drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays). I’m usually not available on Sundays, but I’m happy to discuss special requests! I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own two cats! In your home, I follow your exact routines and instructions for feeding, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any special needs. I send daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’m very responsible with keys, locks, and your home!
“David was flexible and communicative about coming to walk Cooper earlier than I had originally requested. Cooper and our pickiest cats loved him when he came by for a meet-and-greet, so he definitely has a way with animals! Really appreciate his communication and way with Cooper, including some of the same obedience training!”
Central District dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
Rebekah is amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos of Murphy after their walks. Recently Murphy has been sick, and Rebekah was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She kept me informed, helped clean up after an accident, and truly went above and beyond. It's obvious she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I completely trust her with Murphy and will definitely continue booking with her.
Becca alerted me that one of our dogs was having some tummy troubles when she took them out on their regular walk and took extra time to give her a butt bath before leaving to help keep our home clean. She went the really went the extra mille and we were able to expediently resolve her GI irritation.
Dale was punctual, professional and very loving toward Rumi. They took her for a walk and we had a meet and greet, and they were extremely thorough with their questions. I could tell they cared a lot about making sure Rumi would be happy and comfortable with them.
Responded to a last-minute request and really helped me out. Levi was great with my dog, Argos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Communication was excellent; I felt confident that Argos was in good hands and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!
Kyla is the best walker I’ve ever had. I trust her fully with my puppy. She is attentive, communicative and flexible. She personally assessed my dog’s pain level in the days following an injury and adjusted his activity level to match, carrying him to the park for training games one day and taking him on a bus trip the next (which is great socialization). To top it off, she takes adorable photos during every walk which never cease to brighten my day.
