“Chance is communicative and very well versed on animal care. It was important to me to have a dog walker that wouldn't let my girl pull on the leash and Chance was excited for the task. He holds her accountable and gets her exercised!”
“Natascha was an amazing rover for Kirk! He enjoyed being walked by her so much, he walked more then the will let me walk him. Very understanding and great with Kirk and his shyness of other dogs!”
About: I've had my own pets both cats and dogs since I was in college. I understand what it takes to care for and love on both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I have a 50+ pound lab mix and 2 medium sized springer spaniels, in the past we had 2 miniature schnauzers so understand what's needed for big and small pets. I have lots of puppy experience and my 2 springers are geriatric girls needing extra patience and care. I'm happy to take care of rowdy, enthusiastic pets and more laid back furry babies as well. I'm currently going to school on-line to get my master's degree, and have 2 children in school, this gives me plenty of time during the day to care for your family members. I have 2 elderly dogs, 1 zippy younger dog and a cat-- which means I have a plenty of experience caring for animals of all ages. I work hard to make sure your fur babies are comfortable with me and have the patience to work with your pets so they trust me.
“Kristin was so great! Took my pups on a walk for longer than expected. Took lots of pictures and gave me updates. I can tell she really enjoys dogs and takes good care of them. Thank you!”
“This was our first time using rover and we had a great experience with Jordan. Her updates were really sweet and helped ease my worries while being away. We definitely hope to request her help in the future.”
“Very friendly walker. Our puppy joy was immediately at ease with Emma, she was kind and caring for our energetic, goofy girl. Will definitely look for her in the future if we require extra help! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Cathleen is a great dog walker! She has been very attentive to Ellie and is extremely reliable. Her communication skills are outstanding and we feel fortunate to have found her!”
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and love caring for them. I fostered dogs with my mom for several years. We would have a different dog each week until they were adopted so I’m used to caring for new dogs for only a short amount of time. I’m very active and I’ll take your pet for a great walk, maybe even a jog if they can. I will give your pet so much attention and care the entire time I’m with them. I will also keep your home very clean when taking care of your pet. I’m very flexible with hours and will work with you in any way that can help in caring for your pet. I am very flexible during the week! My partner is a pitcher in the MLB so I have lots of free time when he is away and I stay home! So much travel makes it hard to have pets of our own so I love to care for others and help out in my community. We have a fenced in yard at my home in Florida and lots of space for my dogs to run and play. We have small dogs so I’m very used to keeping an eye on them when outside because of birds. I usually walk my dogs once a day (they are senior) and give them lots of belly rubs.
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I was 10 years old. I love animals and have worked with both puppies and senior pets. I’m a college student who is back home for summer so I have plenty of flexibility and free time for all of your pets’ needs! I ensure reliability, attentiveness, and careful supervision of your pets. In addition, I recognize the importance of consistent communication in pet care to give owners peace of mind.
“Natalie was on time, conscientious, and great with the pups. She put my mind at ease during a particularly stressful time when I could not walk them daily. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Ryan was great. A true last minute booking(12 hrs notice) and she even came by to meet Parker before. Responsive and sent cute pics from her walk with Parker! Thanks!”
About: Hello! I'm Zoe, a lifelong animal lover and teacher with the Bainbridge Island School District since 2020. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including pet sitting and walking pups of all sizes and temperaments. My family includes my sweet rescue dog Friday (a 9-year-old pittie mix) and my adventurous 3-year-old daughter Rooney. We love spending time outdoors and can often be found exploring the beaches and trails around Bainbridge together.

During the week, I work from 8am-2:30pm. I work 5 minutes away from home and would be able to check on any pet at least once a day. I feed pets as needed, provide daily walks and preferred exercise either on a leash out and about, at a dog park, or in my fully fenced backyard. I am happy to provide interactive treats that meet a dog's dietary needs and provide enrichmentk.
