About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I grew up with two family dogs for 18 years, and caring for pets has just always come naturally to me. I also foster dogs, cats, and small critters, so I have experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs Pet care fits so naturally into my day because I genuinely love having animals around me. My schedule is super flexible. I’m in part-time school and work part-time so I have plenty of time. When pets are in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I keep a close eye on them at all times making sure they’re safely leashed outside, supervised during playtime, and always comfortable. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, like feeding schedules, crate time, or potty breaks, so they feel calm and at home. There’s always lots of love, attention, and gentle structure to keep them happy and safe. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, respect is everything to me. I treat your space the same way I’d want mine treated clean, careful, and mindful of your rules. Whether I’m staying overnight or just stopping by for a walk, I make sure your pet gets all the care they need while also keeping your home tidy, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m very routine friendly, so I happily follow your pet’s normal schedule, house rules, and comfort needs.

About: I grew up around many animals, especially dogs! Breeds I’m most familiar with include shar-peis, pitbulls, rottweilers, and German shepherds! I’ve also taken care of bunnies, guinea pigs, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons, so no pet is too much for me! I just graduated university and am looking to return to university online to get a second bachelors degree, so I currently am not looking for a job and instead would love to be able to get out of the house and boost my serotonin by meeting people’s pets! I love cuddling with pets and seeing their personalities start to shine through as they get more comfortable! I love taking dogs on walks, seeing how long it will take a cat to choose to sit with me, and holding reptiles for as long as they like! Just being around a person’s pet while their owner is away makes me feel great since I know I’m giving the owner peace of mind while making a new friend.

About: Hi there! My high energy husky is slowing down these days and I’m looking for my next running and hiking partner to come along on adventures. Do you have a high energy dog who needs out on a romp? I have experience with leash reactivity, e collar training, positive reinforcement training, and dog selectivity. I am so excited to meet you and your pup! I have over 15 years of experience caring for and dogs, cats, and horses. Also, I have experience with elderly dogs that need special attention. I will pamper your dog as if they were my own. I love the rain and the snow and am happy to take them out in any weather. Depending on cicumstances I am open to taking your dog on longer hikes in the greater puyallup/tacoma area if they are in need of a longer workout! When your dog is with me they will get lots of one on one attention and love. I do not take multiple rover sittings at once so you can be rest assured that your furry family will get the one on one attention that they deserve! I am fairly flexible on timing of walks and drop ins. I do work but have a lot of availability throughout the day and afternoon. I prioritize safety and will follow your directions to a T for what is right for you, your pup, and your home. I have a history of taking care of escape artist huskies so I generally know what to look out for.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats in the home since I was born and I’ve always loved helping care for them. My first few jobs involved working at a dog boarding/daycare facility and since then my passion for animals has only increased. I have now been working as a veterinary assistant, in both the ER and general practice, for over 5 years. I am comfortable working with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am trained in providing medications, ( I have a current Veterinary medication clerk license) including injectable, and am CPR trained. Besides the medical stuff, I am a very outdoorsy and active person. I can accommodate any of your pets needs. My dog is my best friend and I understand how stressful it can be to trust somebody with your beloved pets. My goal is to make it known that your furry friends are in the best hands and are being well loved on while you are away.I can perform baths, nail trims, and Anal gland expressions if requested and if your pet is tolerant to it. As of July 7th I start clinicals 40 hours a week. My scheduling changes every other week and it is all over the place. July 7-17 I work from 7-3. July 20-31 I work 1-9pm. August 3-28 is 7-3 again and lastly 5am-1pm until September 11th. I treat everybody’s property with the same respect that I would want from my pet sitters. No guests over, no touching things that aren’t required, and making sure to keep things tidy.

About: With years of experience in dog care including breeding and pet sitting many different breeds such as; Labs, Pit bulls, German Shepards, Dachshunds, and Corgis for our friends and family, I have developed a deep understanding of differentiating canine needs. Above all, I believe in patience and consistency, ensuring that each dog feels cared for whether they’re with me for a short period or a long stay. I only work 3 days a week and have a very flexible schedule which would make it easy for me to care for other dogs. I also have a very helpful partner I live with who also loves animals. I have a fully fenced yard with two very friendly corgis. Our spacious yard provides plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore safely. We have a doggy door so they have easy access to get in and out. We live in a very safe neighborhood with lots of pet friendly trails.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and cats since I was 11. I've mostly pet sat for family and friends so far, and hope to get the opportunity to meet your pet(s) soon too! I will respect your pet's boundaries, they'll get to choose how much or how little they want to interact with me. I can medicate pets, and do so daily with one of my own cats. I currently live with an elderly mini Aussie, and can adjust activity levels as needed for older pets. I'm currently looking for a job related to plants. I have plenty of free time to give your pet(s) whatever care they may need while looking after them. I will do anything your pet may need, including but not limited to crating, medicating, and walks. As long as you can provide me clear instructions, I'll get it done!

About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 10 years old, giving me years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each owner’s specific care instructions. I’m currently job searching, as I am new to this area, so I will be available pretty much any time during daylight hours and weekends. I cannot bring pets into my apartments, but I am happy to watch someone else’s dog at their own place. I usually receive a list of things to do for the pet(s) and follow the instructions as they should be done, to ensure the pet(s) are comfortable.

About: At home, I have my friendly mini dachshund, Elo, and our sweet kitten, Eve! They’re a big part of our family, and our home is full of love for animals. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and explore in a secure space. We also live in a friendly community, making our home a welcoming place for your pets. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for animals and understand that every pet is different. Some want to play all day, while others just want a cozy spot to relax and someone to keep them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them extra patience and attention. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be hard, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for with love and attention. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make their time away from you as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ I currently am home most days. I do work about three days a week and never more than four hours but my kiddos are home from school at 2pm so pets are never alone. I am available to work on your pets schedule. I have a fully fenced backyard and great pet friendly community. My puppy has his own gated off room so if your pup needs a break from playing he can roam about freely. We mainly have this area for my pup because he is still potty training. Our kitten sleeps in my daughter's room at night but she is out playing during the day. She tends to just say hello to other pets and let them be unless they want to play with her. Your pet will be in a very safe and fully nurtured space!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Croker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Croker is $17 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 November 2026, there are 5,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Croker. 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 Croker. 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 Croker 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 Croker. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
