“We love Rylie! She is so great with the pups and they are always so excited to see her. She is very reliable, always on time and great at communicating. I have never used rover so she has definitely set the bar high. I 10000x recommend her for any of your pet needs!”
“Kat was very good with my pup. Shes on time, very good with communication and most of provided excellent care for my pup. My shepherd was happy to be her ...such a wonderful vibe.”
“Today was more of a meet and greet with my senior dog. Jack’s got some behavioral issues and isn’t the best with new people. Lyla was great. She had a very calming energy. Jack warmed up to her and was able to settle down and relax in her presence.”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have raised and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years including Great Danes and Mastiffs. I am very comfortable with giant breeds, strong personalities, and dogs that require confident, experienced handling but equally as comfortable with smaller/toy breeds as well. In addition to dogs, I have hands on experience caring for cats, chickens, domestic birds, turkeys, tortoises, goats, and ducks. Family and friends have trusted me for years to care for their beloved pets and farm animals while they are away. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, senior, or a giant breed, they will be cared for like one of my own. Your pet will not be left alone for extended periods and will receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and attention. We live on a fully fenced spacious 10-acre property designed with dogs in mind. • Three separate fenced dog yards • Shade and protection from the elements • Plenty of room to run and play safely • Splash pools and room to romp and explore Dogs sleep indoors in crates or large kennels with elevated beds to ensure comfort, safety, and proper rest unless other wise requested by owner. Safety, supervision, and structured care are priorities in our home. 🐶 What Sets Me Apart ✔ Experienced with giant and powerful breeds ✔ Comfortable with multi-dog households ✔ Experience with farm animals and exotics ✔ Structured, clean, and safe environment ✔ Large, secure outdoor play areas I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment so you can travel with peace of mind. With 10 fully fenced acres and structured care times your pet will receive consistent exercise, feeding, supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention as part of our family’s everyday life. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised, never left unattended outdoors, and enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe play. We have 3 different fully fenced play yards to provide plenty of stretching and play even for those dogs that may not get along with others. I provide structured routines, separate spaces for rest if needed, and slow introductions to ensure everyone feels secure. Clean water, comfortable sleeping areas, and plenty of enrichment and affection are always included. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their individual needs and temperament. 🐾
“Grace has been amazing in helping my in a pinch. I have two large senior dogs, high energy in an apartment. I have been sick and just needed help walking them. She has been amazing in handling them and also with communication on when she was coming to get them for their walk. Will absolutely use her services again. She has been amazing.”

About: Hello! I am 27 years old, and I've always been surrounded by animals, whether they were mine or a friend's. I've cared for all sorts of animals, from fluffy to scaley. I have a soft spot for big personalities, and senior animals. Caring for a dog or cat that requires extra care, whether due to age/health/tempermant, is something I actually really enjoy. I take a lot of pride in having a lot of patience with animals, but I'm also happy to enforce routine and structure for their own benefit! Due to seasonal work, I'm not currently as available as I'd like to be, and will be working a sporadic schedule for the next few months. But other than that, I do my best to be available for whatever the pet needs, whether it be feeding, cleaning litter, taking them on walks, or sitting overnight. My goal is keeping your home just as clean as you left it, and your pet happier! I'm generally a tidy, quiet person so no worries about disturbing the neighbors, and if your dog has special treats or toys I'd love to hear about them!
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I've owned pit bulls, Italian Greyhounds, and cats, giving me firsthand experience with everything from strong, energetic dogs to sensitive, high-energy breeds and independent felines. Because of this, I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique needs and personality. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've volunteered at my local Humane Society, where I spent time working with dogs of various breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. This experience helped me become confident handling dogs with different energy levels and personalities while ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. Friends, family, and neighbors have also trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they're away. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, providing compassionate, dependable care comes naturally to me, and I bring that same level of patience, attention to detail, and responsibility to every pet I care for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands. I understand that every pet is unique, and I'll take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week and weekends. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits and I do my best to accommodate each family's schedule whenever possible. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I'll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they're used to while you're away. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I'll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own while making your pet's safety and comfort my top priority. I'll follow your pet's routine, administer medications if needed, and carefully follow any feeding, walking, or care instructions you provide. With experience caring for my own pit bulls, Italian Greyhounds, and cats, as well as volunteering with dogs at the Humane Society, I'm comfortable working with pets of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!”
About: I love animals and animals love me! Animals have always been a part of my life since I was a kid. I grew up with and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, ducks, birds, a frog, horses, and a Llama! I’m comfortable with any kind of critter. I currently have 2 sweet rescue dogs, a big old cat & two teenage kitties, and a rabbit at home (she lives outdoors). They all love other animals. I am an approved Foster parent for a couple Rescues, and with the Humane Society. I live in a big house with hardwood floors on nearly 2 acres of fully fenced property that’s close-in Vancouver right off of I-5. We have 1 1/2 acres dedicated as a Sniffspot Private Dog Park called “Nature in the City Private Dog Park”. Your pup(s) will get lots of outside off-leash playtime in an enriching, securely fenced area, if they want it! Your fur babies will be loved and well cared for, and feel at home away home. ❤️ *For dog walking, I can offer much more than just a leashed walk around the neighborhood. I can pick up your pup(s) and bring them to my private fully fenced dog park and let them run, explore, and sniff off-leash! I will do this for the same dog-walking rates. 😊 I work part-time outside my home, only one mile away, and I make my own schedule. I offer daycare and overnight boarding in a home environment, and dog walking-including complementary off-leash playtime in my private 1 1/2 acre dog park! We have a peaceful, loving home environment with my two friendly dogs, 3 cats, and my 13 year old son who loves animals and is very good with them. Our animals, and yours, are family and are treated that way! Your pup(s) will get lots of love and outside time on our fenced property, (if they want it).
“Loreley goes above and beyond for our pup and always ensures to communicate with us. Loreley is always on time, sends us pictures and is respectful and professional. Our pup loves Loreley!”
About: I have taking care of all types of dogs. Big and Small. Medication management, basic training, walking and playing ball and lots of snuggling time. I have a part time job as a bookkeeper but my passion is with animals. I love taking care animals. Walking, playing, snuggling and teaching them new things. I love animals, I will protect them and care for them in and out of your home. Keep them healthy and happy! Of course give them love.
About: I’ve been loving on four-leggeds for as long as I can remember—and I’ve meant every second of it. Over the past 15 years, I’ve raised two mastiffs (a Fila and a Cane Corso), both topping 180 lbs—so I’m very comfortable with big personalities and even bigger pups. My heart dog, Gauge, lived to 15, and losing him last March felt like losing a piece of myself. Caring for animals has always felt like a privilege to me. Earning their trust? That’s everything. I know every home has its own rules—whether your dog is crate-trained or couch-spoiled—and I’ll always follow your preferences to a T. That said… dogs here are treated like family. Think cozy, calm, and lots of attention. I’m a little (okay, very) obsessed with making sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at home. I’m fully prepared with all the accoutrements (think toys, high-quality treats, etc) to make your babies stay feel like their home away from home. And I simply can’t wait! If I’ve been hired to take care of someone’s fur baby, then that is my number 1 priority. I build my day around the dog’s needs. I make time for what’s necessary, and being a long time dog owner myself, having dogs in the house just comes naturally. Walks happen daily with or without pups around, so having a dog to join me would just be an added *major bonus. Potty breaks and special care requests are something I just tend to as needed. I care for pets in either my home or my clients home to my clients specifications. I do have a fully fenced back yard with a large grassy area. There’s an off-leash dog park right down the street from me that’s never very busy. I’d love to be able to take pups to the park. I also walk everyday and will be taking the dog on walks with me. I have a 5 year old son who loves animals and loves to help out with ‘the chores’ that come along with animal care.
About: I play with the animals and I’ve always been a animal person I’ve over come with hold chickens I’m okay giving dogs meds and giving them treats I don’t work this is my job is I make sure they eat and drink I will play and cuddle with them go on walks Figure out if there not eating I will contact the owner but I will feed how ever many times the owner tell me to feed if it’s 2x a day ext…
About: Ive had dogs ever since I was young. I don’t currently have pets, but my childhood dogs were a German Shepard mix and a little chihuahua. My German Shepard had so much energy and loves to stay active, so I understand what it’s like to have a very energetic dog - and love spending time with them. PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING I have a very flexible schedule due to working from home & will spend most of the day with your pup. However, I sometimes need to step out for personal errands, but I’m never gone for more than 2–3 hours at a time, and I always plan around the dogs’ needs—bathroom breaks, feeding, and general care. Please take this into consideration when booking with me. If needed I can do daily visits to see your pet in your home during the day, and go on walks, and basically play as much as your pet wants. ;)
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for and trained pets for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, energy levels, and routines, including puppies and basic training. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters and Walk for the Animals for multiple years, and I also have experience house and pet sitting for multi-pet households. One included caring for a dog, a bunny, three adult cats, and four kittens at the same time! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I follow your care instructions closely and take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.

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 Hockinson. 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.

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.
