About: Growing up with dogs (a boxer and a chocolate lab) showed me how deep the bond can be when a pup is a member of the family. Since moving to Seattle, I haven’t had a dog of my own, so I started dog sitting and walking for close friends to get my fix and to help their pups feel loved while their families are away. I’m patient on walks, and I enjoy talking to the pups about the world and the beautiful scenery in Seattle. My next career or adventure is still up in the air, which is a huge benefit to your pups needs and schedule. The world is their oyster. :D Your dog is always in good hands, and will always respect your instructions and restrictions shared or requested. Outside of that, your dog will receive daily love, play, walks, and a bit of chatter.
“Emily was amazing with my dog! Super professional, did a meet and greet beforehand, and arrived early the day of the walk. Gave some extra love to my other dog just for fun.”
About: I’ve had my own cats for 20 years and have cared for dogs. Looking to provide quality care to other cats and dogs in the area. I’m reliable, responsible, detail oriented and timely. I’d like to meet and greet beforehand to understand responsibilities and personalities of your cats or dogs. Routine regular daily schedule of availability. I’m happy to stop by morning and some afternoon evenings depending on schedule. I currently have flexibility in my schedule for mornings, mid day and some afternoon/evenings daily. My most available at the moment is Fridays to Sundays. Please let me know if your time requests are flexible. I’d want to know: -your pets personality or temperament -favorite toys, play or activities -vet information -food, litter, medications I give play, pets, grooming and snuggles to my cat. She used to love ‘dabee’ toy, shoestring and lots of attention via eye gazing. Sometimes on a nice cool sunny day we’d adventure to the rooftop garden.
About: I've grown up taking care of family, friends, and neighbor's dogs of all sizes, responsible for walking, feeding, cleaning, and the general wellbeing of the dog. I also have experience with less-trained dogs, recently being responsible for rescuing, feeding, cleaning, and housing a stray dog. I am currently a student at the University of Washington and a rugby player, but I have a good amount of free time on weekdays and weekends to spend with your dogs! I am available all day Friday and Sunday, with varying availability on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday (please reach out for specific details!). My home is currently unavailable to host your pets, but I am careful to play with the pets in appropriate environments (situational based on home and yard space, surrounding area, owner comfort), and feed, walk, and clean them, along with any other responsibilities I am tasked with. I can easily handle changing schedules and situations as they arise, making sure you and your pet are comfortable and satisfied with your experience.
“I highly recommend Julie. We hired her to walk our dog, Jemma, while Jemma was staying with a family member during a trip. Julie is kind and caring, and it’s clear she truly loves dogs. Jemma adored her and eagerly waited by the door for her daily walks. Julie is organized, communicates well, and sent us plenty of pictures. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Jemma was in such good hands.”
About: I grew up with three beautiful dogs, and the sweetest kitty, and having animals in my life always makes my days feel brighter. I have a lot of experience taking care of/sitting for cats and I’ve recently started taking care of dogs as well. I was raised under the notion to treat others how you want to be treated, so I treat all animals with authentic love and thoughtful care. :) I am currently in my senior year at the University of Washington. I have classes during mid-day a few days a week but beyond that I have quite an open, flexible schedule. I feel that taking care of pets goes beyond just feeding and cleaning up after them. Pets need love, attention, and individualized care, which is exactly what I offer.
“We booked Jessica without even meeting her first and I accidentally hadn’t updated my address so she went to the wrong address and called me and she was so sweet about the mixup and still went over to the new house and took great care of my pups. She even refilled their water before leaving. Will definitely be booking again… with the right address.”
“We were so glad Daniel was able to help out at the last minute when we needed somebody the night before! Our dog had a great time walking and hanging out with him and hated to see him go, even after a whole hour visit.”
About: I rescued my dog Nina in 2017 after pet-sitting professionally through Rover for two years. I have experience with basic care, such as walking, feeding, medication administration, enforcing training and keeping dogs active. I am an attorney, currently self-employed and working from home, so I am available for all your pet's needs! Typically, I walk my dog in the morning and evening, with a potty-break or two scheduled in between walks. On occasion, we'll do a midday adventure at Greenlake or Discovery Park. My senior dog gets lots of long walks, healthy treats, scritches/pets/cuddles and play-time - I guarantee the same fun and loving treatment for your fur baby!
“Jimena is fantastic! She was able to fit us in at the last minute for dog walking. I appreciate that she asked a lot of questions to make sure that she knew exactly what we needed. She has helped us out a few times now and each time she leaves detailed notes and seems to truly care about the well-being of my pup!”
About: My family's been dog sitting since I was 9, and I have always loved dogs. I have lots experience dog sitting all sorts of dogs for my neighbors, from french bulldogs to doodles! I also have a six year old dog of my own named Beethoven. I am a college student home for the summer, so I have lots of time to hang out with your dog! We can go for long walks around Greenlake and cuddle on the couch. I live in a house with a fenced yard in Wallingford. I have one dog and three other family members who will love hanging out with your dog! My dog Beethoven is a medium beagle shar pei mix who enjoys laying on the couch contemplating existence and going for long walks.
“Michele is awesome! She has been very accommodating getting to know my large dog as it can take a while for him to trust new people. He was comfortable around Michele within minutes. Thanks!”
About: Hello! I am so excited to meet your furry friend. A lover of all animals, I have had pets my whole life (including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and goats!) In my professional life, I have three years of experience working in a rescue setting (I understand animals from this background- shyness or aggression issues welcome), and one year of experience in a vet hospital. Aside from that, I have plenty of personal experience- with cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. My own void kitty (black cat) is 14 years old with kitten energy and is the queen of my house. As she deals with thyroid issues, I am comfortable administrating medications. I additionally live with two sassy Shiba Inus so know how to wrestle a stubborn dog is needed! I LOVE senior animals and while I haven't given cats insulin in a long time- I am willing to relearn. Currently, I am going to school part-time, but being as my classes on online- my day is pretty flexible! I can stop by up to three times a day currently or even a full day if it's a necessity. My time with your animal is 100% with your animal- no distractions. I am willing to do whatever you need for them! Toss a ball, feed treats, talk a walk, send photos, reinforce training- you name it! I also am familiar with senior care and some special needs such as mobility assistance.
About: I am a dependable and caring dog lover with experience caring for dogs throughout my life. Growing up, I regularly helped my neighbors by dog sitting their two dogs, which included taking them on walks, feeding them, providing playtime, and making sure they were safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love being outdoors, making dog walking a perfect fit for me. I am responsible, attentive, and committed to ensuring every dog receives the exercise, care, and affection they need. I’m currently attending the university of Washington!! Go dawgs!! I am available full-time as I am working towards getting a part-time job!! I will always treat your home and pup with the love and respect they deserve, ensuring a safe, comfortable, clean, and caring environment at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age! I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I am currently a veterinary assistant, which has given me a great eye to take care of dogs and cats alike! I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant, so I am available before and after work and on weekends. I am also available all day on Thursdays! I will care for animals as instructed by owners. I am great at giving animals outside breaks, enrichment, and on time feeding! I can take care of multiple pets at one time!
“We are happy we booked Chip for an hour walk with our dog! He was great at our meet and greet and asked all the right questions to prep for his time with our pup. Excellent communication and you can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs he cares for.”
About: I’ve been house and pet sitting since 2024, caring for pets at every stage of life. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy, a laid-back adult, or a senior who thrives on routine, I tailor their care to what they need. I’m an active person who loves spending time outside, so your dog will get plenty of walks, fresh air, and time in nature. I’m happy to take them on local trails and parks. With seniors, I keep to a gentle routine with a short walk and measured meals right. With young dogs, I draw on my volunteer work at Resilient Hearts puppy play sessions, where I use positive reinforcement to build good habits and keep puppies safe, engaged, and confident. What sets me apart is that I follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walk routines, quirks, and comfort items: tell me what keeps your pet happy, and I’ll stick to it, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I work remotely full-time, so I can be at your home all day, every day, as needed. That means no long stretches alone for your pet, and midday potty breaks, meals, and meds are never a problem. For walks, I’m available after 5 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the Green Lake, Phinney Ridge, Wallingford, Fremont, and Ballard areas. I treat your home and your pet’s routine with care. Before a stay, I’ll ask for your feeding amounts, medications, walk routine, vet contact, and any quirks or triggers, and I follow them closely. Pets are never left alone for long, and dogs are always leashed on walks and given regular time outside. I measure meals exactly as instructed, use positive reinforcement, and keep their space calm and comfortable. I’ll send you regular updates and photos, and I’ll contact you right away if anything seems off, and get your pet to the vet if needed.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs ages 13+ who need extra attention. I’m comfortable walking dogs who are still learning leash manners and administering medication when needed. I’ve also provided overnight care for friends and family. Im patient, reliable, and attentive to each dogs unique needs, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to give pets attention throughout the day and week. I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding scheduled and potty breaks. In my home, I provide a relaxed and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home, as long as they are house trained and respectful to the space. In clients home, I’m respectful of their space and carefully follow any instructions or preferences to keep their pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

Carolyn was wonderful with my pup Kona! He’s a bit of a nervous guy and they get along wonderfully. Carolyn always goes above and beyond to make sure Kona gets a nice long walk in and makes sure he has water once she leaves too! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate, and reliable dog walker!
Sami was great with our little Frenchie-mutt. She came by before we left to meet Mabel and us. During walks, she kept us updated with her activity and sent a few photos. Sami was also able to spend time after the walk to give Mabel a few pets and treats. Highly recommended!
Writing Hannah has been helping with Dilly’s walks for about a week now. She’s punctual, communicates well, and has been reliable. Dilly seems to be enjoying his walks, and I appreciate having someone I can count on to take him out! Already booked her for next week and highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Meridian is $27 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 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 12,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Meridian. 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 Meridian. 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.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Meridian 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Meridian. 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 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.
