“Arielle is the best! She is very reliable and proactive in her communication with us. I love all of the pictures and updates she sends me when I’m at work! She goes above and beyond for our puppy and we always come home to a happy dog!”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, fish, and even snails! I’ve been house and pet sitting on and off throughout my adult life, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. I’m excited to help your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s getting outside for fresh air and walks (when appropriate), enjoying some good exercise, or simply providing plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, I love making sure animals get the care and companionship they need. 🐾 Currently recovering from burnout from medical school. Very flexible. Love reading, nature, and naturopathic medicine. I have a hybrid car. I am Happy to drive for house sitting for longer stays. I ask for a printed list of needs and numbers. I take good direction. Plus I am a Dr. (not a vet) but I know it helps.
“I have some pretty specific sitting needs. David came through in a pinch and I’m pretty sure Rosebud had more fun with him and his pups than with me! Great communication and dependability, and we will be using David again soon and often!”
“Karen was so responsive and arranged to come meet my dog on very short notice. She clearly knows dogs and is very comfortable with them. My dog had a great walk with Karen and I really appreciate her communication!”
“Allie was a wonderful dog walker! She was a great communicator and took some very cute pictures. She also was super kind when my dog was having some potty troubles, so she definitely goes above and beyond!”
“I contacted Emma for a last-minute request to help with my dog while I traveled during the holiday season. She responded quickly and even came over for a quick meet & greet. She always made sure to update me when she checked in on my dog, send me pics, and took him for nice long walks. We both appreciate you, Emma!”
About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that pets are family members, Friends and family have asked me to care for their pets. And I have enjoyed doing it every time. I am retired but have always been active and look forward to meeting and playing with varied dogs and cats. I currently live with a found kitty that climbed over my back fence 2 years ago. While I can be playful I am serious, reliable, experienced with life. I am a Seattle Native raised and lived in the North End most of my life. I am familiar2 with Edmonds, Shoreline, Lynnwood, and other surrounding areas. The Interurban Trail, Lake Ballanger, and other parks are familiar walks.

About: Hi there, I'm Alisha! Also known as Bodhi and Bella's personal walker in our neighborhood :) I'm Alaska rooted, Seattle based - I've spent much of my life outdoors, with that, also cohabitating with many animals. Wild or domesticated, I have a deep love and understanding for animals near and far - except for snakes ;) Spent many days house/cat/dog sitting for friends and acquaintances. Have special relationships with those furry friends to this day! Happy to feed, give medications orally or topically - I'm a quick learner, empathetic to your pet and want to give the best care possible! Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to hanging with your furry loved ones. Cheers! I am currently working remotely on my own schedule. Very flexible and able to drop in most days! Will have some instances where I am unavailable. I have immense experience with daily dog care, with that comes great empathy! I understand leaving your pets at home during the workday can be stressful for all - if I can help ease that stress, happy to be there!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up with both dog and cats (as well as several reptiles and small animals), and currently have two kitties of my own—one of whom is a senior. I have experience caring for all ages, including senior and geriatric, all sizes of dogs (~5lbs to 100lbs+), and animals with additional medical needs such as medicated anxiety, hyperthyroidism, asthma, post-surgical care, and more. I also have a little over a year’s experience working at a holistic solutions-based pet store. I currently work part-time while I attend an online graduate program. I have flexible hours, especially during the week days, an am open to early mornings or late nights. I am more than happy to adapt to what works best for your space and pet! The most important part to me is spending time with your pet, be it interactive playtime or keeping an eye from afar.
About: What sets me apart is that dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve lived with at least one dog my entire life—from growing up with a Husky/German Shepherd mix and helping care for her, to having a Pug/Dachshund mix who I took on daily walks after school. Now that I live on my own, I don’t have a dog of my own, but I really miss having a furry companion around! I’d love the opportunity to give your dog some extra attention, exercise, and companionship through walks, playtime, or visits. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your routines and instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. I am working as a substitute teacher and have some flexibility depending on my schedule to walk dogs. I can also drop in for visits as needed. Weekends are open for house sitting but needs to be booked in advance. I care for pets with the same patience, attention, and consistency I would want for my own pets. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment and keep their space clean. Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve always had pets. Cats, dogs, gecko, frogs! :-) We have two dogs of our own. They are great with other dogs. Super dog friendly home. Mostly retired, I do a couple of part time gigs. Love doing pet care. I have free time to care for pups. Walk, play, feed.. I have a completely secure fenced yard, and two friendly pups. The yard is nice and big with room to play. Pups a free to roam house and nap on furniture if they like.
“Melissa is my corgi's new favorite walkie auntie, and they cannot understand why she only stops by with her wonderful playdates once in a while - entirely Mom's fault of course. We are so appreciative of her quick responses when we find ourselves in need of an extra pair of hands to take care of our high energy working doggos, and the pups really get incredibly excited every time she arrives”
“Zach has been great with my dog, Aurora. He is a great communicator and has been very quick to reply to messages. I’m glad I found someone dependable to take my girl on walks!”
“We’d be happy to Hannah visit with and walk our pup again! He can be a shy at first with most people and he took to Hannah right away. She’s attentive and very communicative.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Lake Forest Park is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Forest Park
Taylor was great! She checked in with us on her way over for our first meet-and-greet, and was perfect interacting with our nervous dog. She was interested in hearing from us about how to have a successful walk, and did a great job. I’m looking forward to having her come again. Thanks, Taylor, for your patient and professional style!
We booked a 30-minute walk with Lindsay and Zach for our dog Harvey, and couldn't have been happier with how it went! From start to finish, Lindsay took great care of Harvey. Her communication was outstanding, and she arrived at our place a little ahead of schedule to start the walk. From start to finish, Lindsay took great care of Harvey. She let him sniff around to his heart’s content, and even took some great pictures along the way. You can tell she’s a lifelong pet person who not only understands dogs, but loves them and treats them like her own. Harvey absolutely adored her! We’ll gladly book her and Zach again for walks, and would trust them completely with our dog if we need daycare or boarding in the future.
Alex has been amazing! I reached out to her to take my dog, Ozzy, for walks twice a week, and he has absolutely been loving his mid-day walks with her. She is incredibly thorough with her post-walk updates, always sends plenty of pictures, and somehow manages to take the cutest photos of him every time! Alex is very responsive, reliable, and genuinely took the time to build a close bond with Ozzy. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who truly cares about him and looks forward to spending time with him. I can tell how comfortable and excited Ozzy is with her, which means the world to me. I couldn’t recommend Alex enough to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their pets. Ozzy and I are both so happy we found her!
We have been so blessed to find Jasmine! She is a great communicator and incredibly kind and caring with our elderly corgi, Riley. She has house sat and been a life saver with last minute walks. Riley looks for Jasmine around the house after each visit. We will continue to count on Jasmine in the future for her top tier pet care.
Kate was a wonderful and superstar sitter for our dogs, Buster & Solomon! This was our first time booking with Kate. We were impressed with her great communication, organization and great care with our dogs on their walk. We hope to book her again the next time we need a sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Ivana! She took great care of Charlie while we were away, kept us updated after each walk, and was very attentive to her needs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Charlie’s well-being. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book with her again!
Lu was so gentle and caring for our 13yo Havanese dog who is completely blind , mostly deaf and his smell isn’t as good as it used to be. She would at times carry him back to the car because he was tired and ir hot. We had to adjust our walk times and she had no problems with last minute changes. She is very compassionate and caring. I would definitely recommend her in the future.

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 Lake Forest Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .

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.
