“Alfonso has been great, I can tell our dogs are comfortable with him. He has been amazing at getting their energy out, we really appreciate him caring for our dogs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and now in a position (I'm retired) to help others. As a pet owner I have trained Labradors, Walker Hound, mix breeds, and enjoy all types of dogs. I like getting dogs outside for walk or play. I'm doing this not for the money but I simply love dogs. My wife and I are in our go go years and plan to travel, but when we are home I can help board on our 1 1/3 acre (non fenced) yard or i can simply come take your dog for a walk. I am retired and have a hobby (efoil). My typical day is to go out on Lake Washington for a couple hours in the morning 2 to 3 days a week and efoil in the morning. Than I am free other than house projects around our home. At times we plan to travel, but trips are known way in advance. I have a big yard but it is not fenced, I do have a kennel I can setup at the back of my house with a covered area. I live close to Cottage Lake and would take your dog for walks down to the lake and around the trails.
“Juniper did a wonderful job with my dog Peach’s first walk! She took the time to meet with us a day beforehand to learn our routine and asked great questions. Her summary of the walk was well detailed, and she included some great pictures! Peach is nervous around strangers, and Juniper did a great job being aware and thoughtful of that. Overall Juniper was lovely to deal with and I feel great about trusting her regularly for walks with Peach.”
“Miranda was wonderful. We hired her for 2 walks and she took different paths each time and provided thorough reports and pictures. She went above and beyond to help our dog with learning not to pull on the leash. We will definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to care for pets in your home. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have plenty off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
“I am living for Britney’s reviews of her experience on the walk with my dog, Pip are my favourite! So descriptive and funny and cute to know how Pip interacted with Britney. She is on time, friendly, super responsive. She also seems really flexible and has accommodated Pip and I last minute. Have already booked again :)”
“As always, Maren took such amazing care of my pup Kathleen on her walks. Her experience with reactive dogs sets Kathleen up for success. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks so much Maren!”
“Amy has done a fantastic job walking our dog Parsley. She is communicative, show's up on time, and takes our pup on great walks. I would happily hire her again and recommend her to anyone else who is looking for a reliable dog walker.”
“Mara is so good to and good for our boys! She is the treat lady in our old man Charlie’s eyes and is the fun walk lady to Murphy. I look forward to reading her reports and seeing her photos every time she comes and takes Murph on an adventure.”
About: Growing up on an animal rescue in Washington State, I learned to care for a wide variety of animals, including (but not limited to): cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, snakes, lizards, chickens, pigs, birds, and a couple types of rodent. And loved almost every minute of it! (Roosters can really mess you up) I live in an apartment in Chicago now so while I only have the capacity for our two cats as pets, I still have a lot of love to give and space in my heart for animals. So, helping others care for theirs has been a very fulfilling experience for me. *I do have experience with more challenging animals (reactive, anxious, behavioral issues), so if your little one struggles with any of the like, please let me know in your request what that looks like for you and them. I'm currently a bartender in music venues that are typically only open on weekend nights, leaving me quite a bit of free time in between! I care for your pets with the same care, love, and patience as if they are my own. You set the house rules and guidelines, and I do everything I can to keep things feeling as routine and normal as possible for them.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs my entire life. The last 10 years I’ve been taking care of my own dog and dog sat for friends and neighbors (who also had cats). I also have experience with chickens and over 20 years experience with horses! I will keep clients informed about how their pet is doing and even send photos and videos! Even though I work full time, I make time before and after work to take care of pets. If close to work, I can drive to your home during lunch to take care of pets if needed. I respect clients property and personal belongings taking the best care of their pet, house, and yard. I always follow all directions given by clients and clean up after myself.

About: Hello! My name is Dari, I am a WA native and I have been taking care of dogs since 2011 and cats since 2023. I have 2 kitties of my own that live in my home and 1 kitty I co-parent from afar with a previous partner. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for friends, family, and neighbors many times over the last few years and am excited to do so for you and your furry friends too. I have also had hamsters, hermit crabs, and a lovebird as pets too! No critter will be left not taken care of under my watch. I am currently teaching yoga and meditation in Seattle, Bothell, Kirkland, Bellevue, and Snoqualmie; I am often bopping around to and from the studio and am happy to drop-in to take care of your pets or take your dog for a walk! I am also not gone from home like most people for full shifts of work that last 8-10 hrs, I am gone at most for 6-7 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with other days of the week being more like 2 hours away at a time! I live in an apartment but am a very active person and love taking dogs on long walks and to the dog park if desired. I am a very kind, soft, and loving person and truly believe animals pick up on this. It is very often I find myself talking to birds, squirrels, deer, and even today - a raccoon!!
About: Hi! I'm Moshope, and I would love to take care of your pet! I have experience living with multiple cats at a time. In one apartment, I lived with four, and in another, I lived with two. Through these living experiences, I learned a lot about what it's like to have a cat and take care of one. I enjoy being around them, and I love taking care of them! My experience with dogs is minimal, but I am open to walking and caring for smaller dogs! I took a break from petsitting for a couple of years in order to focus more on school, but since I've graduated, I have lots of time on my hands! I'm available most days a week, and I accept booking within a week in advance. I’m unavailable Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings, but I can do afternoons and evenings! I look forward to hearing from you! I have an incredibly flexible schedule and can work most days of the week in the afternoon or nighttime. Mornings are tricky, but I can do Wednesday mornings! I'll give your pets lots of attention and love. I'll also be committed to following instructions extremely carefully. If there's anything I need clarification on, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure we're on the same page!
About: I have the cutest dog in the world, next to yours, anyway. I have 25 years experience as a veterinary technician. I promise to spoil your baby like I do my own. I will let them jump on the furniture and throw the ball. I am pretty strict about no people food, but will give dog treats and some veggies, if allowed. Rudy loves other dogs and would enjoy having a friend around. I can also medicate if needed, including injections. I have some mobility issues, so can only keep small dogs. I have cats, but they will tolerate new dogs in the house. I am happy to help with basic training, as long as we agree on style. Looking forward to meeting your pet!!
“Jean was very warm and friendly. She took time out of her day to meet us for a last minute meet and greet. I love the fact that she was on time and respectful of both our times. I got updates and pictures while she took my dog on the walk. She is part of our family now. Thank you Jean.”
About: I have a Husky-Malamute mix at home, and they're known for being one of the most high energy dogs. I can take care of your dog for sure. I am a college-freshman at NYU who’s looking to make some extra money whilst I’m on break back home, and what better way to make money than to take care of your dog! I am timely, and will make sure I give full attention to your pet. I’ll pick up after them, clean them if needed, and feed them all in a punctual manner. I’ll take this job very very seriously if you pick me! I'm back home for the summer, book any type of services available! I am always looking for ways to take care of pets, so anything works. Caring for my Husky-Malamute, I make sure to give him as much attention and play as possible. I love taking long walks (as long as your dog wants), and taking time to stroll around. I know how to avoid aggressive dogs, and also train aggression, as my dog also used to be aggressive. I will feed them on time, let them out to relieve themselves as much as possible, and be attentive to their needs!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have personally owned my own dogs for almost 20 years. I genuinely love spending time with them and enjoy enhancing their experience of the world through positive reinforcement training, sniffy walks, and other enrichment activities! I can do puppy care, senior care, or anything in between. Happy to work with reactive dogs as long as they are not human aggressive or a risk to redirect reactions onto nearby humans. I am freelancing, so my schedule is built around my bookings rather than the other way around. My only blocked out time is for taking my own dog to nosework classes! Leave detailed instructions, and I will follow them to the letter. My goal is to provide care as close to your “normal” that your animals receive when you’re home with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Cottage Lake is $37 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $56 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.

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 Cottage Lake. 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 Cottage Lake 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 Cottage Lake. On Rover:
- 86% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
