About: Hi, I’m Tosha! As a dedicated pet caregiver in the Lewis County area, my number one priority is ensuring your furry family members are happy, healthy, and safe while you are away. I am fully CPR and First Aid certified, which gives me the specialized knowledge needed to navigate emergencies, handle senior pets, or manage precise care routines with confidence. Whether it's high-energy playtime, structured dog walking, or a cozy overnight stay, I tailor my routine to fit your pet's unique personality and schedule. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and love I'd give my own. I look forward to giving you peace of mind and your pets an amazing experience! I've had animals my entire life. People have trusted me since I was 16, with their pets. Let me be there for your pets while your away! I work at few hours a day in the morning to afternoon, outside the home, other than that im home to be with your pet! I can crate animals if needed. I can take them for walks. I can come to your house to care for your pet. I will give your pets the best sitter experience!
“Scott is amazing! He was very thorough at our meet and greet and wanted them to be comfortable with him. He does an amazing job with my gals and they love him! Highly recommended 😊”
About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.
About: I grew up with animals and have been trusted by family and friends to pet sit. I have worked at a doggie daycare place and currently work in the vet medicine field. I plan on staying in the vet medicine field, but it is always nice to see animals where they are relaxed and happy. I do work full time and sometimes long hours but can always check in on animals before and after work. Some days, I will be working in Eagle River so it would be hard for me to check in on animals during the day. I am very good at following instructions so if there is a certain routine that an animal is used, I will follow it. I try to be aware of my surroundings because I never want an animal to accidentally hurt themself on something or ingest anything.
“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”
“Lex was the absolute best match for my dogs! I contacted her the night before I needed a walk and she was flexible and agreed to walk them at the last minute! She was on time and my dogs instantly warmed up to her. She walked them for the full hour and provided great updates. Thank you Lex! I’ll definitely reach out again next time I need a walk!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, and I've had cats for around 6 years, working with puppies/kittens all the way to seniors. I've always had a passion for working with animals, hoping to foster once I get my own place, so I'm always open to any help I can provide. Currently, I'm doing delivery work and make my own schedule, and I've worked nights in the past, so I am open to work any time of day and with any task you may need! I have plenty of time on my hands, and plenty of animal love in my heart. I've spent my life watching my own dogs, both indoor and outdoor cats, and my neighbors pets, so I have lots of experience on keeping animals safe and happy.
“Madisyn has been taking care of our dog Leo for several months. As witnessed from the photos she sends, he LOVES her! I come home to a contented and happy pet! Madisyn is also very respectful of our house and leaves it as she found it. We will continue entrusting Leo's care with her for months to come!”
“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”
“Didn’t have the opportunity to meet Shawna in person before booking, but based on her great reviews and wonderful personality via texting, I had no doubts or worries about her taking care of my pet. She exceeded my expectations and when the time comes, I know who to go to!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals, including caring for multiple pets at once. I’ve walked and exercised dogs, helped with basic training, and cared for pets with different personalities and routines. I currently have my own two kitties who are extremely spoiled! I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal I care for. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and comfort level, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my work schedule, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to communicate about specific schedules and make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. I take trust seriously and want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable while they’re away.
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life. I feel so happy to be around them always. This is very special and heartfelt for me to care for them as often as I can. I work from home full time. I am aiming to make dog sitting a more full time active part of my day. I walk daily anywhere from 1 to 3 miles. I have a roomy apartment near a dog park that I visit often. I walk 3-6 miles a day near my home. I love visiting daily.
About: I'm a country boy originally from TX. I've worked with and around animals for my whole life. I have over two decades of pet walking and pet sitting experience (shoot, I'll even water your plants!) When pet sitting I make sure to respect all the rules my animal pal's human tells me about. I encourage educational play and can handle high-energy animals just as well as the couch potato pets. I ensure feeding schedules and strict diets are on-paw (on point lol). On walks, I encourage good leash behavior and can work on reducing unwanted behaviors, like pulling, and leash aggression. I am prepared for emergency situations as well. Prevention is key, but sometimes accidents happen and my connection with multiple vets in town can ensure prompt service. I love animals because just as each human has their own personality so does each furry friend. Im here to help you and your pet pals when you're in a pickle! I work a flexible remote job and can mobile in short notice. I care for my dog, so if house sitting will need to make occasional trips home to attend to him (dont worry my roommate keeps him company when I'm out). I am available on weekends and after 5pm week days for walks, and can house sit any day of the week as long as I can connect to wifi. I have an aging dog pal and we have been through a lot of experiences together. He didnt have the best health when I adopted him, so I had to keep with him on a strict diet and medication schedule. I treat both my clients house and four-pawed friends with the same gentle care that I show Jaxson, my dog.
About: I'm from a large family farm. I have been taking care of pets all my life. Experience in dog breeding, training, care, and much more. I do this full time. I'd love to give your pets lots of love and care! My week days and weekends are flexible. I'm here to put your mind at ease while you're gone. Able to provide care as needed in your home. Able to take pet out for play if needed. Not currently able to board pets at this time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Centralia is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 744 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Centralia. 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 Centralia. 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 Centralia 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 Centralia. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
