“Erin has been wonderful to work with! Great communication on scheduling and feedback about my dogs. They loved her instantly on our meet and greet! Thank you Erin for taking care of them!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 30+ years… Most recently two french bulldogs and a vizsla! I raised them all from puppies to old age. I’m experienced at all the stages and issues that loving and caring for animal requires. I’m semi retired and have a lot of time and energy to care for your pets. I recently lost my french bulldog Pierre to old age and cancer… I have a lot of love to give to your pet and can’t wait to meet them. I work from home a few hours a week… I’m active and love to walk along the waterfront. I do not have a yard… I live in a small apt above the pike place market. I am experienced with dogs that need meds and training and can handle both. My location is best for dogs that like walks and park play time. I’ve fostered animals both big and small… some with manners and some without (lol). Happy to create a schedule that works best for your pet… and they will be cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have experience with dog sitting for a family member on and off if they were out for the day or on a trip out of town for a longer period of time. I also sat for a friend that has both a cat and a dog. My other skills include babysitting (I have done this while dog sitting at the same time) and some experience in senior home care. For a period of 6 months, I took care of another family member managing their tube-feeding, medications, and working together with the nurse team to communicate updates, issues and check in on appointments. I do work online, currently building a business. I try to schedule my work around typical business hours (between 8am-5pm) but can adjust around for pet care sits or visits since I'm remote. I do most tasks Monday-Friday with the most availability being on the weekends, most specifically Saturdays. I am very good with taking directions on pets' needs. If they have a certain schedule or specialized regimen, I make sure to keep track and make sure the same rhythm is kept as if the owner is still with them. I also respect the ground rules of a client's home knowing that they are trusting to me by allowing me the visit. I also like learning the different personalities so I'd like to try and bond with the pets even if it's for a short time!
About: I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 16. I love hanging out with dogs of all sizes. I grew up with two yellow labs and it was so fun to run, bike, hike with them and show them as much love as they show us! I have two part time jobs that start at various times every day. I am a runner and love walking and exploring neighborhoods! My boyfriend and I are getting ready to get a dog ourselves so I am aware of the attention dogs need. I fully respect that each dog owner does things differently. I am able to keep dogs safe and healthy by using the tools the owner provides as well as following instructions
About: I grew up on a ranch, helping to care for animals from the exotic pet trade as part of their rehabilitation. This also gave me an understanding of animal body language, respect for their quality of life, and the patience to train them. I work from home on art commissions, but love to get a chance to go outside. Because of this, my schedule is quite open and flexible for daytime. It is totally up to what the client requests for their pets care, but as per my morals, I only train pets through positive reinforcement. Patience and understanding are the core elements of how I approach animals and especially pets. At home I have a small crate and 2 small friendly dogs that free roam because they are my good little princesses.
“Bruce was excellent, communicated perfectly, and clearly loves dogs. He helped me out when I couldn't walk my sister's dog. My sister and I will definitely request his help in the future. Thank you Bruce!”
“Jeffrey was such a blessing. Reliable, dog-loving, and hard working. Jeffrey accepted all the walks I’d posted during my travel, interacted kindly with my mother in law, and completed every walk. Jeffrey also took time to meet me and my dog ahead of my trip.”
“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: I have taken care of family dogs for many years, and have raised my own two Golden Retrievers from 8 weeks old. I have always loved animals and love learning how to communicate with them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can work with whatever requirements you have. I also live downtown with a car, so I can drive to you. I am happy to take your dog for a walk, give them pets/cuddles in your home, or play with them in your yard! I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once (if you have more than one) or can take your pups for individual walks if needed. I will treat your animals as if they were my own!
About: I'm a proud owner of a shiba named Bob, and if you know anything about shibas it's that they are stubborn! He has taught me both patience and perseverance - patience when he's sniffing pee-mail and perseverance when he refuses to answer nature's call. However, he stays home with my partner while I dog/cat sit :). I love getting to know new dogs/cats. I am available for as many walks as your dog wants, as well as play time. I love cuddle time, play time, and chill time with your baby. Safety is my number one priority for your baby. As a dog walker/sitter, I will give your fur baby the same love, attention and patience that Bobs enjoys. Your pup and I will have lots of fun while we get to know each other.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, from energetic, high-maintenance breeds like huskies to senior cats who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I adapt my care to meet those individual needs. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy dog’s exercise needs or providing calm, patient companionship to older pets, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, loving care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’m able to give them lots of attention and companionship. I also offer boarding, so your pet can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a home environment while you’re away! Creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment for pets is very important to me. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and I always prioritize supervision, patience, and positive interactions. I also provide regular updates and communication so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
“Samuel and his partner were great; flexible, attentive, and really skilled when dealing with my not-always-the-easiest old boy. I received updates and photos and knew he was in very capable hands!”
“Alex was great! Extremely professional, friendly and communicative. Sent me updates during the walk and after the walk as well. Toci was so excited to meet him and I could tell that she really enjoyed her time with him! I will definitely be reaching out to him again :)”
“We were so appreciative that Alison was able to help us on short notice while our regular dog walking crew was out of office! She was kind and responsive and a great fit for our puppy Leo.”
About: I’ve cared for four dogs who all enjoyed long, happy lives past 17, and I’d love to give your pup the same gentle, loving attention on every walk. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, no work at Friday so I have plenty of time to give your dog attentive, loving care they deserve I live in a luxury high-rise in downtown Seattle with bright floor-to-ceiling windows and a beautiful dog sky-park on the 40th floor, complete with a pet wash room, fresh towels, and dryers. Your pup can enjoy stunning city views, safe bathroom breaks, and plenty of nearby parks, including a cute treat shop right across the street.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs through both house sitting and pet sitting for friends, family, and clients. While living in Houston, I regularly cared for dogs for extended stays, including senior dogs that required extra patience, attention, and consistency with their routines. Since moving to Seattle, I've continued helping friends with dog care, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and providing companionship while owners are away. My goal is always to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment!! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention and care. I'm available on weekdays after 5:30 PM, except Wednesdays. On weekends, I have a very flexible schedule and am generally available starting at 9:00 AM. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive service and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of safe walking areas, a dog park on the property, and additional parks nearby. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized cats who are comfortable around dogs. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, consistency, and following each owner's instructions and routines. Whether in my home or a client's home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and a clean, comfortable environment while their owners are away.
Downtown 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!
Eleanor was absolutely fantastic! She was early to our first meet and greet and went above and beyond to make my timid dog feel comfortable. I appreciated her detailed communication during her care of Penny over the weekend. I could relax knowing Penny was in good hands. Eleanor is reliable, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
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!
Im truly SO grateful for Ana (and I know my dog is too). She’s been walking my dog for the past week while I’ve been in training for my new job. She truly stands out from other dog walkers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). She is incredibly reliable, communicative, kind, flexible, and hard working. I feel so good knowing she’s coming to get my girl every day! Also - huge bonus - the photos she sends of my dog are so STINKY CUTE!!!
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.
