“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Dog Walking Experience with Jeffrey P! I cannot recommend Jeffrey P enough! He took my 14-month-old Siberian Husky, Henry, out for an hour-long walk yesterday, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Henry is full of energy and can be quite a handful, but Jeffrey handled him with such skill, patience, and care. When Henry returned home, he was happy, well-exercised, and completely content—exactly what every Husky owner hopes for! Jeffrey’s professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for dogs truly set him apart. It’s clear that he understands how to work with high-energy breeds, and I felt completely at ease knowing Henry was in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker, Jeffrey P is the best choice. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Erin is so reliable and always goes above and beyond. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone I can trust and don’t have to worry about with my dog! I’ve been using her weekly since our first walk :)”

“We booked Laurie for a multi-day walk schedule and she was great!! Responsive and prompt communication, showed up on time for each walk and it was obvious that she is an animal lover who will take great care of your pet. She gave us a rundown after each walk and brought some enrichment games, but always checked with us to make sure we were okay with her plan - very responsible and respectful. Fred was STOKED to see her each morning and we will definitely rebook in the future. Bonus: Laurie has great taste in tv shows, evident from her dog Lazlo (not Jackie Daytona, regular human guy).”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

“Jana was great! She responded quickly, was understanding when my original plans changed, sent pictures, and was patient with my pup. Will definitely reach out to her in the future!”

“Levi is patient, kind, and dependable. It can be nerve wracking to leave your pup behind with a stranger, but Levi makes you feel comfortable and confident that he will be there when he says he will and your pup will have fun in your absence.”

“Justin was an incredibly reliable walker for our sweet Milli girl. He made sure to meet her beforehand, was very communicative throughout the duration of our booking, and never went even slightly under the 30 minutes we booked (often going a bit over). We will definitely book Justin again, and recommend him highly to others looking for dog walking services.”


About: I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable cats, an adult cat I’ve had for two years and a playful kitten I adopted in January! I absolutely love them to death and treat them like family. From daily playtime and cuddles to keeping up with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and giving them lots of love and attention, I’ve learned how to care for cats at different stages. I’m very attentive, responsible, and patient with them. I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I give my own! You can trust that they’ll be in safe, loving hands while you’re away :) I’m available Monday through Saturday starting at 10:00 AM. I have good flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening services (drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays). I’m usually not available on Sundays, but I’m happy to discuss special requests! I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own two cats! In your home, I follow your exact routines and instructions for feeding, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any special needs. I send daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’m very responsible with keys, locks, and your home!
About: Hello! I’m 30-years-old and have had both dogs and cats most of my life. While most of us had pets in our childhood, I got my own dog when I was in my early 20s in undergrad. A German Shepherd puppy I named Murph. He was a joy and a handful, but I loved him all the same. He was unexpectedly put down in May of 2025 due to heart failure at 8-years-old (but hey, that’s still a pretty good life for a 100-pound German shepherd!). While I’m not ready to move on from him, I am ready to show your pets the same love he got! I also have two black cat sisters named Clementine and Clover. For the last three years, I’ve been a practicing attorney who has managed immense caseloads and packed schedules. So, you know that you are getting some who is hardworking, responsible, and has the attention to detail your pet may need (whether they’re old, young, fast paced, or slow). I’m ready to make your loved ones continue to feel loved with pet sitting, play dates, walks, or anything in between! I recently moved to Washington to better address my partner’s health concerns, so for the time being I am waiting to start my new job later this summer. Until then, I am able to work my schedule around your pet’s desires! Once I start in my new legal office, I will still be relatively flexible for the people that want to keep me in their pet’s lives. I will be able to be available in the early morning, afternoons, and evenings. I will always be available over weekends. In the event that I’m not available on a given day, I will be very upfront in that and will likely have references for people I think your pets would like to be cared for by. I currently live in an apartment that overlooks a park in the Central District for easy walks and bathroom breaks. I also have my own car and access to my partner’s car for trips to groomers, vets, dog parks, etc. I do live with my two cats, but they are friendly and do not mind company ( and if they do, they have places to hide that they love sleeping in). If I am going into your home, I have no issues following any instructions you have for me. The last cat I pet sat for had a 7-step process for making their dinner, I didn’t mind in the slightest because I knew I was making his day.
About: I treat every dog and cat like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved.Im patient dependable and make sure every dog gets plenty of attention. Taking care of pets fits easily into my routine I already go on daily walks I would enjoy having a dog companion with me along the way. In my home or the clients home I follow the pets usual routine as closely as possible.I make sure they’re fed walked played with and comfortable with plenty of attention and care.
“David was flexible and communicative about coming to walk Cooper earlier than I had originally requested. Cooper and our pickiest cats loved him when he came by for a meet-and-greet, so he definitely has a way with animals! Really appreciate his communication and way with Cooper, including some of the same obedience training!”

“Andy has been amazing in every way. She gives the best care and is passionate about animals. She’s very trust worthy and i definitely recommend her. We are very lucky we found her.”

“Sarah was amazing with my dog! He was very anxious and had some adjustment issues, and she communicated with me through it all and was very patient managing through it. I would highly recommend her!”

When it comes to cats, I focus on enrichment and play, ensuring they get plenty of one on one attention and social interaction so they feel secure and happy while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! My family is filled with animal lovers, and often do public outreach to teach communities about animals and pet-care. I have 2 cats that are both 4 years old, almost 5 soon! I just graduated with my Masters in Legal Studies and I am looking for work while I job search and decide what is next for me. Rover allows me to set my own hours that align with my open availability. My cats have a pretty cushy life. They're both fed 9-11 a.m., I feed them a small wet food can, dry food with snacks on top, along with fish oils. They are fed the same amount in the evening (and extra treaties if they have been good ladies that day). They receive play or enrichment before meals, and otherwise love to cuddle and sleep. It is satisfying to me to brush them, too. The same applies to dogs. I had 5 dogs throughout my childhood, I provided care for them and walked them frequently. I have been stressed in my day-to-day life recently, and I believe dog walking will allow me to be outside while doing something positive and productive. I love all types of dogs, and am not scared of most animals.
International District dog parents share their Rover experiences
Eleanor was absolutely fantastic! She was early to our first meet and greet and went above and beyond to make my timid dog feel comfortable. I appreciated her detailed communication during her care of Penny over the weekend. I could relax knowing Penny was in good hands. Eleanor is reliable, professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!

Rebekah is amazing! She is reliable, communicative, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos of Murphy after their walks. Recently Murphy has been sick, and Rebekah was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She kept me informed, helped clean up after an accident, and truly went above and beyond. It's obvious she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I completely trust her with Murphy and will definitely continue booking with her.

Becca alerted me that one of our dogs was having some tummy troubles when she took them out on their regular walk and took extra time to give her a butt bath before leaving to help keep our home clean. She went the really went the extra mille and we were able to expediently resolve her GI irritation.

Dale was punctual, professional and very loving toward Rumi. They took her for a walk and we had a meet and greet, and they were extremely thorough with their questions. I could tell they cared a lot about making sure Rumi would be happy and comfortable with them.

Responded to a last-minute request and really helped me out. Levi was great with my dog, Argos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Communication was excellent; I felt confident that Argos was in good hands and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!

Im truly SO grateful for Ana (and I know my dog is too). She’s been walking my dog for the past week while I’ve been in training for my new job. She truly stands out from other dog walkers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). She is incredibly reliable, communicative, kind, flexible, and hard working. I feel so good knowing she’s coming to get my girl every day! Also - huge bonus - the photos she sends of my dog are so STINKY CUTE!!!

Kyla is the best walker I’ve ever had. I trust her fully with my puppy. She is attentive, communicative and flexible. She personally assessed my dog’s pain level in the days following an injury and adjusted his activity level to match, carrying him to the park for training games one day and taking him on a bus trip the next (which is great socialization). To top it off, she takes adorable photos during every walk which never cease to brighten my day.
