“Caitlin was truly a life saver in taking care of Doood, last minute and was so accommodating. My husband and I had to go to a funeral 3 hours away and best not to bring the dog. Caitlin communicated appropriately and professional, provided pictures as well. I feel like she did go above and beyond and I’m glad our little buddy had some company today. Will definitely recommend and be asking for Caitlin’s help in the future!”
“Meghan does a great job walking my 2 large breed dogs! She always sends pictures and updates, and I can tell they are having a good time. She is flexible and willing to pick up extra days when they come up or change the time of a walk if needed. I will definitely be booking Meghan again!”

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've taken care of my own dogs since I was around 14, and I dogsit a family friends big dogs. Having stubborn dogs has led me to have alot of patience and quick with reflexes. Gaining experience with bigger dogs that can be seen as aggressive or scary has helped me learn to be more calm and careful. Per care for me helps me also exercise too! I love going on walks with my dogs and it gives them proper outside time, instead of just putting them out back. I will ensure that I can be on alert for bathroom during the night, ensuring that they feel safe with me as well. Gaining trust is # 1.
About: Hi! I’m Karly — a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud dog mom to my 11-year-old Golden Yorkie, Bentley, who truly means the world to me. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have been pet sitting since my teens. I have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a slower pace, extra patience, and a little extra TLC. As a senior dog mom myself, I’m very comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed feeding, care, and exercise routines. I’m also confident with large breeds. My sister and brother-in-law have an English Mastiff whom I’ve pet-sat for extended periods and continue to provide regular drop-in visits for. As a devoted pet parent, I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member. You can expect dependable, attentive care, detailed updates, and photos while you are away for peace of mind. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attentive care. I’m genuinely passionate about making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, and welcome consistent or last-minute bookings when available. I would be honored to care for your fur baby! I work from home during the week, which allows me flexibility to schedule reliable midday drop-in visits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally build my schedule to ensure each visit receives my full attention. I’m also available evenings and weekends and welcome both consistent weekly clients and last-minute bookings when availability allows. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Each visit includes potty breaks, fresh water, feeding according to your instructions, playtime or enrichment based on your pet’s energy level, and of course plenty of affection. I carefully follow all care instructions, including medication schedules, crate routines, or any special needs. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being during each visit to ensure everything feels normal and healthy. In your home, I’m respectful, tidy, and mindful of security. I make sure doors are locked, alarms are set if needed, and everything is left exactly as I found it. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.
“Sarah was excellent! She accepted my request last minute and accommodated changes in plans. She kept me up to date before and after visits. Sent pictures and tracks from walks. She understood the needs of my aging but active border collie and kept her active and engaged while I was away for the weekend. She made sure that my dog was fed left the lights and music on for her when she left. She met and exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend. We look forward to Sarah visiting again!”
“Sophia is fantastic! We usually rotate between two dog walkers in case one has something come up. We recently needed help walking our dog for 2 weeks, so we split the time between our two walkers, and our other walker fell through last minute. Sophia graciously took on the additional week of walks with short notice, which really helped us out. She was on time, adjusted the walks based on our dog's needs (too hot, too rainy, etc.), kept us updated with cute pictures, and communicated promptly. We will definitely be booking with Sophia again!”
About: I am a BIG animal lover & will be around pets any chance I can get! Luckily, I get to do this because I dog-sit 4 times a week for a beautiful Black German Shepherd named Kira + other pets I am lucky to watch throughout the seasons. I am very comfortable with big dogs who have LOTS of energy, or even dogs or cats who are older and just want someone to cuddle with them. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I can do pet care any day at any time! I currently work remotely (on my own hours) & do school part time, so I have lots of flexibility. Through out my experiences in pet sitting, my responsibilities are always to feed the pet food, always make sure there’s enough water, give lots of cuddles & walk/play fetch 1-3x a day (depending on age and energy levels).
“Patrick was fantastic with our dogs. He was incredibly patient with them and won over our pups who are normally very wary of strangers. He was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to any messages. Would highly recommend him for your power care needs.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have always had at least two dogs in my home. I’ve been dog sitting for friends, family, and others on and off for the past few years, caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently have two senior dogs who I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I’m especially comfortable with older dogs and giving them the patience and care they need. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to make pet care a bigger part of my life. I’m currently 18 and attending Bellevue College while living at home, which gives me a stable and comfortable environment for caring for pets. I’m currently a college student with classes in the mornings Monday through Friday, so I have plenty of availability outside of class before 8:50 AM and after around 11:30 AM. My schedule is consistent, and I can plan pet care around my classes. I’m currently looking for work, but I will always make sure I can fully commit to any pet-care booking I accept. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pets. I’m not currently able to offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to anything they need, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll also be respectful of your home and keep you updated while you’re away.
“Fariba was amazing! She came to our house on time, Iggy was so excited to see her. She is definitely a dog lover! She took Iggy back and let us know if he had gone potty or not. We will definitely reach out to Fariba again for her service and will definitely recommend her!”
About: I love animals but have no fur babies of my own. So I really enjoy showering other people's pets with all the attention and scritches I have to give! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs; from chihuahuas to newfoundlands, puppies to seniors, beautiful mutts to regal standard poodles. I am self employed and typically don't work while I'm pet sitting, which gives me lots of flexibility and frees up my time for your fur babies. I stay with animals in their homes so they feel the most comfortable they can while their people are away. I'm fine with animals sleeping in bed with me if that's what their used to as well.
About: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. My initial posting with Rover.com was years ago. At that time circumstances changed so it wasn't until this last summer of 2025, that I happily began to board dogs again. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of your dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs with special needs, unspayed females or dogs who require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available by appointment. Schedule availability varies. I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed especially for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Dog guests who are boarding are walked 45-60 minutes per day which is included in daily rates. Your dog will be the only dog in my care while boarding > unless your family has 2 dogs you wish to board. There is a maximum of 2 dogs in care. Daycare is available. For further information on daycare, please contact me. Dog walking is also available, in my local area. Inquiries are welcome.

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.

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
