About: I have 6+ years of experience caring for pets—starting with friends’ and roommates’ cats and dogs, and later adopting my own cat 4 years ago. I truly love furry friends and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities, whether playful or shy. My goal is always to help them feel safe, calm, and cared for while you’re away. I offer thoughtful, reliable care and share photo or video updates to keep you informed. Although I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs and have helped friends with walking and basic care. I enjoy being around gentle pups and always approach them with patience and respect. My schedule is very flexible. I'm available most days between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM. I live in Kirkland and frequently visit the Bellevue area, so I’m familiar with the neighborhoods and can reliably stop by as needed. For drop-in visits, I focus on making your pets feel safe and at calm. I refresh food and water, clean the litter box, and check for any signs of stress or discomfort. Depending on their personality, I’ll play, cuddle, or quietly keep them company. I always follow your instructions carefully and share photo or video updates to keep you informed. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe and stress-free. I always keep dogs leashed, follow their usual route and pace, and avoid crowded or overly stimulating areas. Safety is my top priority, and I treat every dog with patience, care, and respect. You'll receive updates after each walk, so you know your pup is doing well.
“Milica was super easy to coordinate with and did a great job! Looking forward to having a new go to dog walker for when I’m out of town in the future.”
About: Hello! I'm Sneha, and I'm a huge animal lover. Please don't ask me if I'm a dog or a cat person because I love em all! I grew up having dogs, cats, fish, and birds as pets. I've gained experience through caring for my pets, sitting for my friends' pets, volunteering for animal rescues, and some from being on Rover. I'm reliable, responsible, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pets are well taken care of. Be it a cat or a dog, as much as I love them, I understand and respect their boundaries. I will give them the love and attention they need. I love long walks and playtime, and it's nice to have a company. 🐕 🐈 I'm available everyday and times between 8 am - 7 pm during the cold months. I keep my calendar updated to reflect my availability. I will communicate any changes in timing beforehand. I offer pet sitting/ boarding at your home. I'll care for your pet like my own. I'll follow any instructions you may have. They will be very well looked after when you're away.
“Shana takes extra care of our elderly dog for walks and we truly appreciate her. This is the second time she's walked Nibbler and we'd use her again any time!”
“Leelay is great. She was kind, genuinely cared for our dog. She was great at paying attention to details. She was also committed and responsible, even during the days with the harsh snow and freezing rain.”
“Cassie did an excellent job taking my pup, Cielo, on a walk while he was recovering from a procedure. She followed all care instructions and ensured he got gentle exercise without overexertion. I appreciated the updates and photos, which reassured me he was in great hands. Highly recommend Cassie!”
“I was looking for a dog walker last minute and Ana answered the call. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and reliable dog walker. She was on-time picking up my pet and the pictures sent during the daily trips put me at ease. I knew my “5th child” was in good hands the entire time. I would definitely book Ana again!!!”
About: I have been a proud dad of my cats for 5 years. I know how much your cat means to you because I’m a pet lover too. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m typically available for visits in the evenings (5-9 PM), but I can adjust based on your cat’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether they need a quick check-in, some playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll be there to give them the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety and trust in every pet care visit. In your home, I respect your cat’s space and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to build trust, moving at their pace—whether that means quiet companionship or engaging play. I carefully follow feeding instructions, maintain a clean environment, and make sure doors and windows are secure. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
About: I've been caring for cats my whole life and have a strong understanding of feline behavior. I'm currently studying dog psychology as well and planning to get a dog of my own soon — I truly understand animal needs and body language I work remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule. This means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine — whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, or just being around to provide company and comfort. I’m able to give them the attention they need throughout the day, not just during quick check-ins Currently, I am renting an apartment and unfortunately do not have the ability to keep pets in my home. However, I would be happy to care for a pet in the client’s home, following all instructions and ensuring the pet is comfortable and well taken care of.

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog walker!”
About: I house sit over the summer and have Aug 29- end of September available in the Kirkland/woodinville/redmond or surrounding area. I’m new to the platform, but not to sitting - check out a few of my reviews! Happy to give a discount for the longer stay. I’ve been in-home pet sitting for the last 2 years and figured it’s time to offer my services on rover! I’ve stayed at people’s houses when they are away on vacation; I care for their home, dog and/or cat. I’m also happy to just check in on your cat or dog to do whatever needed. I am a dog owner to a 5 year old cavalier King Charles /Australian Sheppard mix. I enjoy dog walks and go atleast twice a day. Sometimes my dog stays with my parents, sometimes with me. For those interested in house sitting… I also own 2 condos and manage renters in both. I have dealt with my fair share of plumbing and other maintenance issues. I am organized, responsible and respectful; I will treat your house the same as I do mine! I’m tidy and leave things as I want them to be left by my renters. I am a home body in the evening, so it’s nice to have pet companions! Im not working currently! So my schedule is flexible. I have a car, so can come to you for dog walks. I travel around the Seattle/eastside area. In September I’ll be in the Bay Area. I do not offer pets at my home currently. If staying at your home, I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pet already. Same for dog walks.
About: Hi there!! My name is Ana, and I am so excited to meet your fur baby! I always had dogs growing up and have watched and walked other dogs for friends, family, and others multiple times throughout the years! I love animals so much and can’t wait to help take care of yours. 🤍 I currently work from home most days of the week so I’m flexible during working hours and can actively care for your pets when boarding/day care! I also have most availability on weekends, mornings, and evenings. I love animals and have lots of experience with pets. I also live a very active lifestyle so I’d love to take your dog on walks and hikes if needed!
About: I’ve taken care of pets from when I was little and started feeding the family dog. Recently I raised a service puppy for Canine Companions and learned a lot about training dogs. In addition to raising service puppies, my family also fosters cats and dogs. I have taken care of friends and neighbors animals, and I’m just a huge animal lover! I’m a full time student athlete at Gonzaga University and I’ll be working part time over this summer! I am used to busy schedules with many variables so I should be able to accommodate many schedules. I have lots of experience with dogs, so I will always make sure they’re comfortable with me. Safety is definitely the most important factor so I’ll be sure to have all the contact info necessary. If they love to play we’ll run around in the back yard or play tug of war! If they’re snuggly I’ll be sure to sit on the floor and pet them.
