About: As an avid animal lover, I've always jumped at the opportunity to help take care of family and friends' fur babies while they are busy. Unfortunately, my current residence does not allow pets. However, I am more than happy to pop in for regularly scheduled chow times, walks, playtime, etc. I'm currently a full-time graduate student and part-time barista. Due to this schedule, my availability for pet care will be primarily in the afternoons and evenings. I understand and appreciate that every pet has a unique personality and reactivity. While actively following the owner's instructions, I practice patience and compassion toward a pet's wants and needs.
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.
“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!”
About: I have been doing rover on and off for the past year. However, I have many years of experience! I have had my dog Daisy since I was 12 and she is now turning 10!!. In that time I have put a lot of work into training her and making sure she has enough mental and physical. I have experience in child care and dog watching so I can ensure you that your fur baby will be well taken care of! I have many years of experience with dogs! I will also make sure to replicate the routine, schedule and unique special needs of each dog. I’m currently working part time and a college student. So I have plenty of time to play with the dogs and take them on fun walks! I have a fenced yard and a house. My dog Daisy loves to play fetch and go on 2-3 walks a day. I love to incorporate dogs into her routine and modify my schedule with the dogs based on the dog’s unique needs. I love dogs so much and love to hangout with them and play with them! I treat other pets as if they were my own and make sure all their needs are fulfilled. I also make a lot of effort capturing photos and videos of your dog to reassure your mind while you’re away!
“Carly is very good with my 6mo old puppy, she was prompt and provided real time updates, and left everything as she found it. Will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Carly!”
“Alex was amazing! Very kind and communicative and Fred was always very happy to see her and came back tired and happy from all their walks. It’s obvious they are an animal lover and knew Fred was in good hands. Alex was able help me out in a last minute pinch and I so appreciate their flexibility!! Would rebook in an instant in the future. Thank you Alex!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have two Toy Poodles and a cat of my own, and I also pet sit for my sister’s Corgi and Ragdoll cat. I’ve also had experience caring for a senior Pomeranian, which taught me the importance of being patient, gentle, and attentive to a pet’s individual needs. Because I have pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I’m comfortable following their routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any special instructions. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility throughout the week and can work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to coordinate around your preferred schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I’ll do my best to provide consistent care and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special instructions or needs. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are supervised, and their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, my goal is to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.
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.

“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”

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.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 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.
