About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, and I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs so they stay safe and happy. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time flexibly and doing hybrid college, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for house sitting whenever as long as I’m able to leave the house for classes and short shifts! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other care instructions the owner provides. I respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while I’m there. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they stay happy while their owner is away. Communication is very important to me, so I always send updates and photos so pet parents know their pet is safe and doing well.
“Austin was a huge help to me this past summer. I broke my ankle and needed help with walking my dog. Austin arrived promptly 3 mornings a week for 1 hour walks. Bear was thrilled to have the company and I was thrilled knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you Austin!”
“Megan is an absolute lifesaver! She is always punctual, incredibly reliable, and my pup gets so excited every time she comes. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommended!”
“Kim has continued to be a cherished asset to our family. Such a changing household over the past year and a half. Two puppies at once. Puppies eight months apart, have been alot with two full time jobs that schedules can be unpredictable. Kim has been gracious and professional when we have had to change our times and days. She has helped us keep up on our training when she walks the puppies. Even our neighbors say how super impressed they are with her being able to manage both large puppies (70lbs each) on walks, and they behave for her. Words cannot describe how good she is with our puppies.”
About: My very best friend was a rescue American Staffordshire Terrier that I as lucky to have for 14 years. I’ve been working and volunteering at cat rescues for over 6 years. I’ve fostered bottle babies up to geriatric kitties with various medical needs. I've pet sat for friends and people who have adopted my foster cats, including any other pets they may have at home- like dogs and tortoises. Currently I am a stay at home parent. I am available for daily walks, drop ins or house sitting at your home. I am looking forward to building a trusting and fun relationship with your pet. I am located in Lake Stevens. At this time I have a flexible schedule which gives me the availability to plan around your pets individual needs. Current I can not offer constant care. Pets will need to be able to be left alone for 5 hours during the day. I like to keep the pets on their schedule as much as possible and adhere to the owners care requirements. I will respect owner house rules and make the health and safety of an animal under my care a priority.

“Deana was amazing with my dog! My dog is still getting used to strangers and is picky about who she will go with and she would cry when Deana would come get her she was so excited. She was a huge help when I broke my leg and I highly recommend her. She will love your animals like you love them.”
About: With 8 years of hands-on experience at an animal shelter, I’ve cared for animals that most sitters never encounter — newborn kittens and puppies, senior pets, and sick or injured animals who needed extra patience and attention. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, handle the unexpected, and give every pet exactly what they need to feel safe and comfortable. Combined with years of private pet sitting, I bring both professional shelter training and a genuine love for every animal that walks through my door. Whether your pet is young, old, healthy, or needs a little extra TLC — they’re in experienced, caring hands with me. My home is pet-free and has a fully fenced backyard, there’s plenty of safe outdoor space to play, explore, and burn off energy. I work a hybrid job with flexibility in my scheduling. Home most weekends as well as Mondays and Fridays with flexibility within the week. With advanced notice can typically adjust my schedule. We have a fenced yard and no pets of our own. Part time there are children in the home who are familiar with animals. Availability to visit your home during the day as well.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. I have done everything from dog boarding, feeding, bathroom breaks and walks. I truly enjoy taking care of animals! I’m currently a stay at home mom with tons of available time! I’m available any weekday or weekend. Morning, afternoons and evenings! I have a 7 year old daughter who also loves animals and is very aware of their space. I live on 2-1/3 acres tucked away on a small private road. My Property does not have a fence however anytime the dogs are out I am supervising. I have a very large outdoor kennel as well. It’s an absolute dream for dogs who love to run around and play! I have an 8 year old mini Australian Shepherd who is full of energy so he can play all day with the super energetics dogs. Or they can have separate space if need be as well. I also have an entire living room dedicated to dogs where there are gates to keep them in. Comfy Chairs, couch and dog beds for them to lay on. For boarding We have dog crates that we can put in the living room or in a separate room if need be.
About: I have taken of dogs since I was a kid. From big dogs, small dogs and everything in between. We currently don’t have dogs if our own and lost our last little man in 2025. We had 2 small Morkies. We recently moved from a lg property in TX where we took care of lots of fur friends often at once. While we have a smaller yard we miss our pups as well as the fun we had caring for other people’s furry kids. While I work full time my husband is now retired and we are ready to share our home with new friends. We do have to limit who we can care for to small dogs or non shedding bigger Doodles, so if your furry kid is less than 15lbs or is a larger non shedding breed or Doodle we’d love to meet them and be a safe place to leave your furry family members. My husband is retired so he typically spends his days gardening, fishing or working on projects around the house. Since we have both had pets our whole lives we are very comfortable caring for dogs and their needs. We have a small backyard and big indoor space downstairs for pups to lounge and chill. We also have a 15 year old who loves to cuddle with fur friends. We have a great neighborhood for walking dogs and enjoying taking walks as well so adding a dog or 2 is easy.

Kristen is wonderful,Panda and I adore her! She was so flexible with her schedule in helping me with Panda while the poor air quality was affecting my asthma. Im so grateful and will be contacting her again for walking and dog sitting as she is very trustworthy and kind.

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 Machias. 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 a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
