“Peter did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. His updates were always detailed and he made sure to spend a little extra time with our dog playing fetch and general TLC. Peter also helped us out by moving our recycling bin back as it was picked up after we left. We would 100% use Peter again!”
About: Pets have been my life ever since I was five years old. I wasn't a caretaker at that age, but I've fostered a close connection and understanding towards pets ever since. As I got older, my responsibilities grew in kind, and I became much more involved in the day-to-day care of dogs and cats. I've been fortunate to be a part of six dogs lives, and each have brought different temperaments, attitudes, and energy levels. Four of the six were rescues, so I understand the patience and attentiveness needed to properly address their needs and quirks. I also helped raise a 10 week old puppy into adulthood, so I am very familiar with what it takes to handle the stubbornness and energy of a young pup. While it's been some time since my cat has passed away, I likewise share a similar understanding to their needs and socialization. It requires a different approach than a dog but I am happy to adapt to the pet at hand and ensure they receive the best care possible. I have returned from a term of service abroad in the Peace Corps, and am currently searching for employment as I settle back in the states. I will be living in Washington for the time being before I set off to grad school. As such, my schedule is fairly open for dog walking and check-ins. Some of my fondest memories abroad was walking around the countryside in my spare time, so I'm excited to continue that here with some new friends! I will ensure that the pets' needs are addressed in full with the client before I take on the service, and adhere to the directions advised. I cannot currently board pets at my home, but I am happy to check in on pets whilst abiding by the rules of my client's homes.
“Jessica is truly incredible and deserves a second-third-999th review. Zoey is our baby girl, and we are very protective of her. We rarely ever let her out of our sight, but with Jessica, we have complete peace of mind. She has an exceptional understanding of Zoey's unique personality and needs. Her ability to connect with our dog goes beyond just a walk; she genuinely cares, and it shows. What's more, Jessica's flexibility has been a lifesaver. Whether it's a last-minute schedule change or an extra walk when we're running late, she's always accommodating. It's clear that for Jessica, this is more than Rover; it's her passion, and we can't thank her enough for the love and care she provides to Zoey.”
“Lillia is super responsible - she responds to messages very quick and calls my number when she has questions when walking dog. She also plays with my dog in the backyard when my dog is not willing to walk :) Overall pretty great experience for me and my dog!”
“Beth is great with Niko! She came over and met him the weekend before and did such a great job making him feel comfortable. After his first walk, Niko was happy and very content. Beth is super flexible and great to work with!”
“May was able to help out on short notice which was much appreciated. She was promot picking up Hulu for his walk and always sent update pics. We would definitely use May again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, pay close attention to instructions, and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care. Pet care fits well with my schedule because I am a stay at home mom and my routine that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day. I can accommodate feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m committed to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I provide loving, attentive care for every pet, well they staying in my home . I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications if needed. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: [Preferred name: Keith , He/They] I’ve helped take care of my family dogs since age 10, most being larger dog breeds (german shepherd, huskies, pitbull). From puppy chaos, to older dog care I’ve seen it all. Willing to accommodate for whatever needs- All dogs have their unique quirks and even if its tucking them in at night, Im up to it! I currently work a part time stocking job that allows me to make my own schedule, so my availability is very flexible! For meet & greets I am usually free sometime between 10am and 6pm. Best Contact Hours: 8am to 8pm (PT) I remain available for contact through message or call consistently! If desired updates during care may be sent, whether requested beforehand or spontaneously. [including pictures & videos of course!!] I have reliable transportation and am also willing to allow pets in my vehicle. Of course accidents occur, for such I have a waterproof pet blanket to prevent damage of any kind! [accidents or extra cleaning will never bring complaints/charges as it is expected with pets]
About: I have hands-on experience helping my mom with her dog rescue nonprofit, where I helped transport and foster dogs. This gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine, including walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship. I live alone with no personal pets, so your pet can have my full attention in a calm and comfortable environment. I’m active and have easy access to nearby trails for walks and exercise. I also live in a quiet, friendly condo neighborhood, making it a safe and relaxing place for pets to stay. I’ll make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care based on their individual needs and routine.
About: We have been caring for dogs for many years. Starting from puppies to full grown dogs over the years and know how to understand what a dog needs for a healthy, happy, and full life. Aharon works from home most of the time. With just one dog at home it would be easy to add another. It’s easy to add another to the pack! We take our dogs outside for exercise twice a day and have play sessions in between. We have 1200 sqft of interior space for the dogs to play and chill with a fenced backyard. There’s also a dog park almost right in our backyard where we go to all the time. The area is residential and lots of families around that know us.
“Rebecca is awesome! Very friendly and our dog loved her. She used a door code to enter our home while we were gone, took our dog on a walk, brought him back, and locked back up without a hitch. Will definitely be booking her again in the future 😁”
“Lauren was quick to notice Riley's patch he had been scratching and took a photo for me. It was a great way to help me see what I was coming home to and how to prep for his care. AWESOME job.”
“Jenna was so great to work with and very flexible with the scheduling. Jenna accommodated the requests as Po (my pup) was a little shy to walk. Will definitely use Jenna’s services in the future.”
“Daniel took care of Luna for daily breakfast feedings and morning walks while we were gone on an international trip. We knew we could rely on Daniel to get the job done.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fairwood is $25

Garrett was the greatest! A real lifesaver when I dog sitting for a neighbor.. due to mobility issues I wasn’t able to do long walks like Riley needed.. enter Garrett. He was great in communication and punctual for every walk. He was patience with me and all my questions. Riley also had the best time during every walk. She got to get some the energy out she had and came home a happy happy tired girl. Garrett was great to Riley also you can tell he loves dogs and cats.. I will appreciate him and what he did for Riley and me always.. thank you! Pick him if you are looking for a dog walker you will not regret it!!!
Ali was absolutely wonderful with our husky! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Knowing our girl was getting plenty of exercise, attention, and care each day gave us so much peace of mind. Ali clearly loves animals and treated our dog like she was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely trust Ali with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker. Thank you, Ali!
I’m so happy I found Natalia and Miguel! They’ve been wonderful with my Gunner. He’s a very high-energy Weimaraner and can definitely be a handful at times, but they’ve been so patient, attentive, and caring with him. Communication has also been great, and I really appreciate the updates and pictures while I’m at work. It gives me peace of mind knowing Gunner is getting exercise, attention, and is being well taken care of while I’m away. Natalia has also been thoughtful about his safety and comfort and communicates with me if she notices anything or has a suggestion. Gunner is always so happy after spending time with them, and I’m very grateful to have found someone I can trust with him. I would definitely recommend Natalia and Miguel!
I had Rayann walk my dog for 3 days while I was camping and my husband was working. She came 1x a day at the times I needed (which varied day to day). She met my dog in our home before taking the job and took notes and asked questions. She provided photos and maps of her walks (which may be common, but I’m new to Rover so it was a delightful surprise for me). She was very communicative and our dog was a happy girl. I would recommend Rayann and would have her watch our 2 year old pup again.
Molly is punctual, connected easily and quickly with my boy, and is easy to communicate and work with. She hasn't had any issues walking my Irish Wolfhound, so she can be trusted to handle giant breed dogs. Super happy with her services so far and plan to continue working with her.
Abbi has been one of the most reliable and attentive people I’ve encountered on Rover. She has developed a great rapport with my dog, Charlie and I know that he will always be safe and well exercised after a walk with her. I’d definitely recommend her as a fantastic dog walker!
Daniel was so prompt and enthusiastic. He clearly cares about taking great care of my elderly dog. Asked lots of really pertinent questions. Helped me get to know the Rover app and system (it was my first time using the app and I misunderstood some stuff). Looking forward to having extra help taking care of my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fairwood on Rover is $26.64 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Fairwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fairwood.

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 Fairwood. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
