About: Hi! I’m Molly, a teacher currently enjoying summer break with lots of flexibility and availability for your pet care needs. I moved to the Seattle area about a year ago and love spending my free time walking, running, and exploring local trails with my 2-year-old Golden Retriever, Remy. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve raised and trained two puppies of my own and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra patience and consistency to senior dogs who benefit from a slower pace and a little extra attention. In addition to dog sitting and dog walking, I also have experience caring for cats. I offer drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and walks of any length—from a quick neighborhood stroll to a longer adventure to help burn off energy. As a teacher, I’m dependable, organized, and attentive to details, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a teacher on summer break, I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide-open availability throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend time walking and caring for my own 2-year-old Golden Retriever. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, feeding, or a long walk, I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, walk, and medication instructions carefully and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. As a pet owner myself, I know how important peace of mind is, so I always provide updates and photos during visits.
“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.”
About: 🐾 What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, along with my hands-on experience in training, grooming, and behavior management. Growing up, I helped care for a Schipperke and later two Chihuahuas, where I developed a love for daily walks, grooming, and building strong relationships with dogs. As I got older, I wanted to expand my experience and raise a high-energy working breed, which led me to my Australian Shepherd, Bailey. 🐶 Since bringing Bailey home as a puppy 7 years ago, I’ve participated in obedience training, at-home training, 4-H, showing, herding, and swimming activities. I also learned how to groom her myself and developed a strong understanding of canine body language and behavior. Through raising her from puppyhood to adulthood, I learned how to recognize what dogs are communicating through their actions, energy levels, and routines. ❤️ I later welcomed a second Australian Shepherd, Willow, who has a completely different personality. She’s vocal, energetic, and more sensitive to certain environments, which taught me that every dog has unique needs and triggers. This experience helped me become adaptable and attentive to each dog’s individual personality. 🎓 In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve helped owners work on puppy house manners, basic obedience, and simple tricks. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from small companion breeds to larger breeds such as Labradors and German Shepherd mixes. ✨ Whether your dog needs an energetic walking partner, a patient sitter, reinforcement of good manners, or simply someone who understands their unique personality, I strive to provide care that makes them feel safe, understood, and loved. Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. As the owner of two Australian Shepherds and a young cat, I’m used to planning my schedule around feeding times, exercise, playtime, grooming, and providing companionship. 🐶 My dogs receive daily walks and enrichment activities, and I regularly brush and groom them to keep them comfortable and healthy. My cat also gets dedicated playtime and attention throughout the day. Caring for pets isn’t something I fit in when I have spare time—it’s already an important part of my lifestyle. Because I’m accustomed to caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, adding pet sitting, drop-in visits, or walks fits naturally into my routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on a long walk, playing fetch, providing enrichment, or simply keeping a pet company while their owner is away. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I start by learning about each pet’s schedule, personality, preferences, and any special instructions. I want to know things like feeding routines, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, areas they are allowed in, and any behaviors or triggers I should be aware of. For dogs, I provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment, and plenty of companionship. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs, like my Australian Shepherds, and more laid-back dogs who prefer a slower pace. I also reinforce house manners and any training routines owners are already working on. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and attention based on their comfort level. As a cat owner myself, I understand that some cats love to socialize while others prefer their space, and I adjust my care accordingly. I also pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and body language. After raising dogs and cats with very different personalities, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize when a pet is excited, nervous, tired, overstimulated, or simply wants affection. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe environment, consistent care, lots of love, and regular updates to owners so they can feel confident while they’re away.
“Tracy is excellent! She is punctual and reliable and communicates her schedule/availability ahead of time. She provides an update for my dog Toby’s walks. Thanks so much Tracy!”
“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!”
“Bella & Marcus made Bunker feel right at ease and they were timely and prompt for his walks. They exceeded our expectations with playing with him in the backyard to get him comfortable. We appreciate Bella and Marcus greatly.”

I can easily crate your dog if needed, feed them and take them on walks! Or if your animal is just needed or some company I am available for all!
“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.”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog. I do also have experience with bite work when it comes to protection line and high energy breeds. Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
About: Thanks for considering us to care for your small dog. You can be sure that he/she will be treated like a part of our family and will be loved and well cared for while you are away from home. We LOVE dogs. I sing and talk to pups that have separation anxiety and have found that helps them warm up to me and ease their worries. I will send you lots of pictures and videos. We are available to set up FaceTime so you can see and talk to your pup while away. ***I prefer weekend drop offs and pick ups between 8am to 10am or 6pm to 10pm. Weekdays are flexible.*** *All dogs must be current on vaccinations and flea preventive. Please provide proof of vaccinations either with a hard copy or a photo through email.* *All dogs must be non aggressive. No exceptions.* I am home much of the time during the week. My husband has a quiet home office. Dogs are welcome to come and go from my husband’s office if they want a quiet break or a change of scenery. Dogs can go outside in our fenced backyard for potty breaks as often as they would like. I generally let them outside, regardless, every 2 hours. We have a fully fenced backyard so they get to run, sniff, and explore off leash. They will be supervised by an adult during backyard fun time. We have a variety of fun dog toys and treats. You are welcome to bring your pup's favorite toys or lovies but we can provide those if you forget or would prefer not to. Our home is 2400 square feet. The downstairs is mostly hardwood floors with rugs and the living room is carpeted. They have full access downstairs. They are welcomed on furniture and there are plenty of nooks and crannies for nap time. My husband or I will be home most of the time to care for your pet. We are usually gone no more than 3 hours. Please send me a message with any questions or concerns and thank you for considering our family to care for your pet! ***If my profile shows that I am unavailable or booked during your needed dates, please message me. I may have an opening.*** ***Independently insured through Pet Sitters Associates*** There is usually at least one adult home during the work week. Dogs are let outside for exercise and potty breaks as often as needed. We occasionally have family outings on the weekend. We generally are not away for more than four hours. I have a fenced back yard. An adult is outside with dogs at all times during potty breaks and exercise. I put a baby gate on the front door for the duration of your pet’s stay with us.
“Kahla is great!! She always sent photos during the walks & did a great job at marking all the times that Snow went #1 & #2. Snow looked happy in the photos! I would definitely book again!”
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.
“John is very friendly, and respectful. He communicates well and has been very understanding if we need to make slight adjustments to our walking schedule. Our dog loves going on walks with him! She’s a happy girl when she gets to go on walks with John!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fairwood is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairwood
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!
Erin has been absolutely amazing with Oscar. She walks him every day, is always on time, and consistently goes above and beyond. I really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each walk — it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s also so thoughtful with my cats and always takes time to give them attention too, which means a lot. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she works with. Highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative!
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.
We are so lucky to have found Alison. Right away we could tell she was someone who “gets” dogs- identifying and accommodating their individual quirks, needs, etc. You can always tell when someone is passionate about dogs, and it’s obvious this is her calling! It’s a huge relief to be able to trust that our girls are in the best possible hands.
Jessica is very professional and did great with our dog. Our dog can be nervous with new people or strangers, and Jessica's calm pressence really put him at ease. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and provided great notes quickly after the walk. Will def be going with Jessica for our future dog walking and pet sitting needs.

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.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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.
