About: I’ve owned cats my entire life and dogs throughout my teenage years. I’ve done dog sitting and cat sitting, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I know how to deal with kittens, puppies and dogs who need medications or extra care. One of my dogs growing up had epilepsy so I am used to having to manage a dog with a disability. I’m a server/bartender trying to make some extra money this summer so I can go back to college next year! I love animals and I grew up around all sorts of animals while working and riding at a horse ranch. Im an extremely respectful person of peoples spaces. Im not on my phone much and will give your pet all the attention it could possibly want and need.

About: I grew up with a beloved family dog (a black lab) named Anubis for 17 years, he taught me what kindness and love truly were. Through that, I now have a great love and appreciation for all dogs. I am very responsible and reliable, and you can comfortably trust me watching your family member. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, walks, and care throughout the day. I build my routine around each dog’s needs — whether that’s mid-day walks, structured exercise, or calm companionship at home. Because I keep my schedule intentionally balanced, I’m able to be present, responsive, and reliable for the families I work with. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, leash habits, and any special instructions from owners. I provide regular potty breaks, calm walks, and attentive supervision to make sure pets feel secure and relaxed. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and prioritize structured outdoor time, enrichment, and a peaceful environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep communication open with updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away.

“Marcea arrived at the agreed upon time. She was patient with Bentley on coaxing him to put his leash on. Since this was the forst walk and I was home, I think he was a little confused. The all happily went on their walk. Marcea will be having an overnight with them later in the week so this was to help everyone get better acquainted.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, active, and attentive dog lover based in the Seattle area. I grew up with dogs and cats, including a Saint Bernard and two boxers (not all at the same time!), so caring for animals has always been part of my life. We currently have a friendly rescue dog named Jensen, a lab/pit mix who absolutely loves playing with other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood that’s great for walks. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. You can also expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We have a fully fenced yard and a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood for walks. Dogs in our care are supervised closely and treated like part of the family. We follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medications, crate use, and exercise needs. Our home is calm, safe, and well suited for dogs who enjoy companionship and attention.

About: When I'm not working full time at REI (from home!) forecasting fitness clothing, I'm adventuring in the great outdoors, often with a furry companion by my side. I've loved, owned, and trained dogs my whole life! My best friend for the past 10 years has been my border collie Ginger, and we did everything together. We climbed mountains, herded sheep (she did most of the work), ran on the trails behind my house, and even walked to the coffee shop on weekends. My friends and I have a regular "doggy social hour" at the park, because we all agree a tired dog is a happy dog! I have a large fenced yard, chickens (which are dog savvy but can be easily separated into their own area), and friendly indoor cats that are well acquainted with all kinds of dogs. I recently got a new best friend in Loki, a 2 year old border collie who needed a new family that understood high energy herding dogs. Loki is incredibly friendly and loves all dogs regardless of breed, energy level, or activity. He’ll happily chase the ball, wrestle, or lay on the couch and watch tv with new friends. Loki loves to make new friends and is so excited to meet you! While I'm very experienced with active pups, I also love putting on a movie and settling in for a lazy afternoon, so couch potatoes don't worry! Come lay on the couch or go for a run, I'm happy to do anything your dog needs! All animals staying in my home are fitted with a Bluetooth tracking device for additional security, my number one goal is to keep your furry family as safe as I keep my own!

About: I have lots experience caring for and walking dogs for friends and family, although I’m fairly new to being around cats. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities, making sure they get exercise, attention, and safe care during walks and visits. I’m reliable, patient, and enjoy spending time with animals. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away :)) My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days and times for pet sitting and walks. I plan to pet sit as much as possible and can easily work around owners’ schedules. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while in my care. 🐾 I pay close attention to their needs, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure at all times. And I will always follow any instructions owners leave to make sure their pets stay happy and healthy :))

About: Looking for someone who can give your fur baby all the attention they deserve? That’s me! I’m a full time pet sitter, so your furry family member is my top priority. From morning cuddles to playtime and walks, I make sure each day is full of love and care. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, and I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I raised two Labradors from puppies all the way to 17 and 18 years old, and I’ve also cared for many small dogs over the years. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what helps them feel comfortable. After my own dogs passed, I realized how much I still wanted dogs to be part of my life. Caring for other people’s dogs has been a meaningful way for me to share that love again. ❤️ ⭐️As part of my commitment to supporting the Mirrormont community, 5% of all earnings from Mirrormont clients are donated to the community park in support of the Mirrormont Community Association (MCA). I’m available most days and have a flexible schedule as a full time pet sitter. Please feel free to reach out to check specific dates or times. 🐾 About My Daycare 🐾 Safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I focus on creating a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where every dog can feel relaxed and well cared for. To help maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all dogs in my care, I kindly ask that all pups be fully house trained. Thank you so much for your understanding. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and at ease during their time with me, whether they are here for daycare, boarding, or in-home care. ⸻ ⭐️ Daycare Policy⭐️ Daycare typically runs from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with up to 10 hours of care — but I’m happy to adjust the schedule to fit your needs. Just let me know what works best for you and your pup. If you need a little extra time, extended care is available at $15 per additional hour. Please let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. 🐈Since cats are often more comfortable in their own space, I generally do not offer daycare for cats. I’m always happy to provide in-home drop-in care, where your cat can remain relaxed in a familiar environment. ⸻ 🏡 Boarding Policy 🏡 When your pup stays overnight with me, they’ll be treated like family and enjoy a cozy, home-style environment. You can expect me to spend at least 20 hours a day with your pup — this includes overnight care, plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day, and a calm, comforting presence at night. That said, I may step out briefly for personal errands like grocery shopping, meals, or other short outings, but your pup will never be left alone for extended periods. I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when I’m away. ⸻ 🚪 Pet Sitting Policy 🚪 When staying in your home, I promise to respect both your pets routine and your space with the utmost care. I will spend at least 20 hours a day in your home, always planning my schedule around your pup’s walks, meals, and comfort. Most importantly, I will stay overnight to keep your pups company they’ll never have to sleep alone. Their routine is my top priority, and I aim to make them feel calm, loved, and secure while you’re away. Before I leave, I will return your home to the way it was clean, tidy, and as if I was never there. ⸻ 💛 What You Can Expect I treat every fur baby like family and always follow their routine. Your pup will enjoy: • A safe, loving, and stress-free environment • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • Regular updates with photos and videos • Careful tracking of water intake and potty breaks to help monitor their health. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like to schedule a meet-and-greet. I look forward to welcoming your pup into my home and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way 🐶💕

About: I have over 16 years of personal experience caring for my own dog, who is now 16 years old. Through the years, I have gained valuable experience understanding dogs’ needs at different stages of life, especially senior dogs that require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I truly love dogs and enjoy spending time outdoors, walking, and staying active. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and different exercise needs. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk or prefers a slower, relaxed pace, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I will treat your furry family member with the same love and care I give my own dog. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority. I have a flexible daily schedule and plenty of time to provide loving and reliable care for your pets. I am available for dog walking and drop-in visits on weekdays and weekends. I enjoy walking, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs happy and active. I can accommodate both regular weekly appointments and occasional visits based on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With over 16 years of experience caring for my own dog, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and responsible pet care. When walking dogs, I always use a secure leash, pay close attention to traffic and surroundings, and adjust the pace to each dog’s age, health, and energy level. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and other daily routines. I respect your home and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your beloved pet is safe and well cared for.

Briana was incredible. She walked our dog twice a day while we were out of town and he was staying with my mom, who couldn’t walk him herself. Briana was communicative, friendly, prompt, and our dog loved her (he’s been moping around the house since we got home yesterday, our walks are clearly not as much fun as hers). I would absolutely hire her again!

Alyssa is the absolute best! First of all she’s a dog owner herself so has that personal perspective and experience which is invaluable. She has a very thoughtful approach, asking questions beforehand about our pup’s habits. She took the time to play with our pup before and after her walk, which I was not expecting at all. She reached out once while we were away when she had a concern/question, which I appreciated. Alyssa also provided brief but informative daily reports after each walk, which were helpful and eased my mind because I was missing my girl while we were away. If you want a conscientious, caring and reliable dog walker, I highly recommend Alyssa!

Brooke continues to be a hero in our family! Today my husband was home when she arrived for their walk and got to see first hand just how excited they get as soon as Brooke pulls in the driveway. He was chopped liver as soon as it was time for their adventure with Brooke! Recently our neighbor also told us how she has overheard her talking to and playing with the dogs after their walk, and now even their dog gets excited when Brooke arrives! She had the best energy and treats our dogs like queens. So thankful!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Issaquah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Issaquah is $27 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $47 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 11,701 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Issaquah. 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 Issaquah. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Issaquah 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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Issaquah. 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 .

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.
