About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I’ve always been surrounded by pets through my family and have spent years babysitting dogs and other animals for family members and family friends. I’ve also had a dog of my own and currently have three cats and a ferret. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a full-time college student, but I only have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1–3:30 PM. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week, and I’d love to use that extra time to help pet parents care for their animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to work around their individual routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s usual routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs are maintained. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.

About: I am passionate about dogs and cats, I promise to provide them with safe, patient and full of attention. I adapt to the personality and needs of each pet, making sure that they enjoy their walks, have water, food and a lot of affection. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take walks, visits and care during the week and on weekends. I organize myself to be punctual, maintain constant communication with the owners and ensure that each pet receives the attention, exercise and affection they need. The safety and well-being of each pet are my priority. When I take care of a dog in the house, I carefully follow their routine, respecting their feeding schedules, walks and rest. I keep the doors and fences closed, use the leash during walks and avoid situations that may pose a risk. I also maintain constant communication with the owners and I can send updates and photos so that they know how their pet is doing. I treat each dog with patience, respect and a lot of affection, making sure that it feels calm, safe and comfortable at all times.

About: Stephanie has been a dog lover from a very young age. Sean has worked with dogs in the Military and as a Canine Officer since the age of 18. We believe that your dog should be treated the way they are treated at home- like a family member! We are fortunate to have many years of experience with all types of breeds between us. We excel at bringing new furry personalities into our “pack” and making each dog feel at home. We have a tri-level home that has been “baby gated” to separate doggies if needed. Our yard is completely enclosed with extra safety in mind for potential “escape artists”. We take safety and security very seriously- Sean’s extensive experience as a canine officer/instructor and Stephanie’s lifelong ownership of different breeds allows us to bring all that knowledge together to create the ideal setup and experience for your doggies. We have a doggie door that enables 24/7 access to bathroom breaks, into a secured yard. We recently installed artificial turf in our backyard- an amazing invention for keeping a clean area for doggies to play and run…We currently utilize pet safe cleaner to ensure the turf is clean and safe to play and roll around on. We are able to provide a safe, secure, playful and all-inclusive environment for your fur baby, with light training and excellent pack socialization. We are currently owned by a 2.5 year old female boxer dog named Scarlet. She is a joy and LOVES having friends come by to play with! All of our guests are never left unattended and play time is always supervised. We have experience administering medications, and if needed, can provide a safe “recovery” area for dogs post surgery or with limited mobility. Dogs are fed separately and ONLY if requested by owners, can be crated. We are able to host dogs with special needs- anxiety, special diets, etc (on a case by case basis). With Sean’s extensive working Canine experience, we are able to provide the ideal boarding situation for Military Working Dogs (active/retired) as well as Police Canines. Sean is able to reinforce any current training methods to ensure working dogs maintain proficiencies. Our motto, “just like home” is how we operate! We have multiple dog beds of varying sizes, many, many toys of different kinds and allow couch snuggles as well (if that’s ok with you!) We would prefer a “meet and greet” to get to know your dog(s) so we can plan appropriately for any overnight/boarding guests. We also, love to send pet parents pictures of your doggie’s stay so you can share their experience and see how much fun they are having! Our schedule is centered around dog care! We are able to host dogs in our home every day of the week and available for drop-ins/dog walks Mon-Sat 9am-5pm. Exceptions can be made upon request... We have designed our yard and interior with safety and security as a priority. Yard is fully gated- with multiple "layers", and our home has been baby-gated to provide separation from the pack- if needed. We have interior and exterior cameras to ensure that all dogs have "eyes on" at all times-

About: I had my first dog when I was 5 years old. He was a Labrador mixed with a German shepherd. I now have a tiny shitzu poodle who I love very much. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, and I can guarantee proper care of all fuzzy friends. I currently work part time in the evening, so my mornings are free for everyone’s fur babies! I would love to fill my time taking care of the pets of others. I have a an enclosed backyard that is completely safe and spacious for any dog to roam. When dog walking, I remain vigilant and always stay on top of any potentially concerning situations.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with playful, energetic pets as well as those who are more shy, cautious, or need a little extra patience to warm up. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care. I’m also comfortable caring for cats, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them attention while respecting their space. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a job and my current schedule for assisting with our furry friends reflects that schedule! Friday to Monday is my current schedule for helping our friends! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. Before each visit or walk, I make sure I understand their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any special instructions from their owner. During walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and engaged while allowing them to enjoy their time outside. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure pets have fresh water, food, attention, and a clean and comfortable environment. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My priority is always the pet’s safety and making sure they receive the same patience, love, and attention I would want for my own pets.

About: I’m a Samoyed owner with hands-on experience caring for large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with strong pullers, long walks, high-energy play, feeding, basic routines, and keeping dogs safely supervised. I understand that every dog has their own personality and boundaries, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine and preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of exercise for dogs who need it! I’m usually available 7 days a week. Same-day bookings are welcome! Please send your request at least 6 hours before your preferred start time. My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out if you have any special timing needs. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including preferred walking routes, leash and harness routines, interactions with other dogs, and any behaviors or triggers I should watch for. I keep dogs leashed throughout walks unless specifically instructed otherwise in a safe and appropriate area. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during or after each walk.

About: I am a pet lover at heart and have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I have developed a deep love and understanding of their unique personalities, needs, and behaviors. I take pride in providing loving, attentive, and reliable care, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving affection, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and trustworthy hands! As I prepare to start college, I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am excited to spend my free time caring for our sweet four-legged friends! I’m happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that fits their needs while providing plenty of love, attention, and care for their furry family members. I pay full attention to my furry friends, and look for their signs of needing to go potty, wanting to play, being anxious (as a lot of my little friends initially are), etc. I like to take the slow approach when meeting new friends, letting them approach me rather than me, them.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Federal Way

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Federal Way is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 11,768 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Federal Way. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Federal Way. 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 a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Federal Way after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Federal Way. On Rover:

  • 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
