“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!”

“Jasie is a natural with our furry one. She is the only person so far that Rosco doesn't bark at. He is an anxious dog but you wouldn't know it when he's with her. She is professional, collaborative, and our best experience with a dog walker. We would highly recommend her services.”

“We super appreciate Alison helping us out in a pinch! And dealing with our puppy, messes and all! She was reliable and showed up on time 3 days in a row. Thanks Alison!”

About: I provide thoughtful, dependable care tailored to your dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’m attentive without being overwhelming, playful when invited, and calm when structure is needed. I’m comfortable with dogs who love long walks, dogs who prefer short strolls and lots of sniffing, and dogs who just want a familiar presence while their people are away. I pay close attention to cues, routines, and any instructions you share so your dog feels safe, seen, and cared for. My goal is always the same: to make your dog’s day feel as normal, comfortable, and happy as possible. I work remotely and on my own schedule, I do not over book pet scheduling so that I can have flexibility to focus on the booked pet care. To me, planning to ensure the booked pets receive the attention, playtime, walks, and companionship they require helps the pets, parents, and sitters win the day. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in both my client’s home and out in public. I carefully follow all care instructions, respect established routines, and pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and cues. I keep environments clean, calm, and hazard-free, and I provide regular updates so you feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I always aim to leave places, people, and pets better than I found them.
“We hired Eliana to walk our pups on weekdays while I was away on a 2 week work trip. I usually work from home and my partner works long days. Eliana was reliable and even flexible in moving the appointments around when my partner’s work schedule changed. It felt so nice to know that the pups had something to look forward to each day while home alone for so long. We will be adding walks with Eliana on a regular basis as a treat for the pups when I need to work at the office.”

“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 :)”

About: I have been taking care of pets of all kinds for over five years now. As a traveling house-sitter, I have provided short and long-term care for dogs, cats, and farm animals for more than 40 clients. I always want to provide the care for pets that is consistent with how you care for them. I work digitally and make my own schedule, so I am flexible to provide in-home care or walks at whatever time works for your pets. I always want to provide an environment and experience for pets that feels safe and consistent with how they are cared for by their family. This means keeping their daily routine consistent and offering lots of love and care while their family is away.
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 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!
“Fantastic experience for mom (while traveling) and fur baby (home, waiting…) for a long weekend away. Alex did a wonderful job with our pup who was thrilled with her daily outings to her favorite parks and daily updates. Already booked for our next vacation and so happy knowing our dog is in excellent 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 :)”

“Brenda is an amazing dog walker! She’s super attentive and sweet towards my dog, and gave her plenty of exercise. Amazing communication and great Rover cards throughout the entire booking. Would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a great dog walker!”

About: I have 7 years of pet care experience, with most of my background caring for dogs and more recent experience with cats. I’m comfortable with daily routines including feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and providing attentive companionship. I also have experience administering medications and monitoring pets to ensure they stay healthy, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I am currently working part time in a hybrid work setting which gives me plenty of time to be able to care for your pets in the ways that you need. When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible, whether in my home or theirs. I provide feeding, walking, playtime, and gentle attention tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. In a client’s home, I treat their space and belongings with respect while maintaining their pet’s usual schedule. In my home, I create a calm, welcoming environment where pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. Regular updates and photos are part of my routine so owners always know their pets are happy and thriving.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them my entire life, so being around dogs feels second nature to me. From an early age, I learned how to read dog body language, understand different temperaments, and provide consistent, compassionate care. I’ve also completed formal dog training education, giving me a solid foundation in basic obedience, positive reinforcement, and safe handling. I’m comfortable reinforcing training routines, working with high-energy dogs, and providing structure when needed, while still making sure every dog feels loved and relaxed. I work from home and have lots of flexibility and availability based on your needs. I can try to be as accommodating as possible. Both weekdays and weekends, as well as holidays . Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I’m mindful of routines, feeding instructions, leash safety, and individual needs, and I never take a one-size-fits-all approach.
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jen was great. She took simba on his first ever walk with a dog walker and did great handling his anxiety. She asked a lot of thoughtful and good questions up front to ensure we all had a good experience and there were no surprises. Her communication is very good and she was on time. We hope to have her come again.

Christal did an amazing job with her walk and I’m so glad we found her! She was kind and considerate, and my dog James had a great time with her. He didn’t want her to leave at the end! It was quickly apparent that Christal has some serious skills with dogs. I have an excitable young Labrador and right away. She helped him channel his energy and get to a place where he could start to show his skills. She checked in with me about his needs and sent us a cute photo on his walk. I’m so impressed and I’ll be sure to use Christal in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my boy and giving him such a fun outing when I was in dire need. James will look forward to his next walk!
