“Ari is the BEST! For Dax it was love at first sight. She always sends updates and she even takes the time to watch some of Dax cartoons prior to leaving for the day. I trust her fully with my Dax!”
About: If you're heading out of town, feeling overwhelmed, or just need a trustworthy hand to care for your pet, I'm here to help! I’m new to Rover! I offer devoted and compassionate dog walking and boarding services, bringing years of experience from caring for the beloved pets of friends and roommates. My approach is always caring and full of enthusiasm, ensuring every walk and staycation is a joyful experience for your dog. As a nature lover, I visit parks daily and take frequent walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor fun. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities as we explore together. I have a soft spot for senior pups, providing them with the extra gentle care and cuddles they deserve. Plus, I love sharing photo updates of our adventures, so you'll never miss a moment! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to be able to take multiple walks a day and cuddle your sweet dog during the day. I only house one dog at a time to make sure I can provide undivided attention and ensure the safety of your pet. I do request an initial meeting with your pup before boarding and walking for the first time.
About: Since I was a kid, I’ve grown up with and around dogs and love all dogs. Working completely from home with a fenced-in yard, I’d love to give your dog the time and attention they want with lots of love throughout their time with me. I’ve watched neighbor dogs, family dogs, friend’s dogs — big and little — and know how to keep pets entertained, healthy, and happy! I work completely remotely from my house with a fenced yard and near multiple trails and parks in Mount Rainier. Your dog will have a companion the whole time they’re with me. The pets come first always! You can be assured your pet will have lots of love, attention, and the best stay of their life when in my care. Whether it’s my house or yours, your best friend will be pampered and comfortable!
About: As a dog owner, I know just how difficult it can be finding someone you trust to care for your animals. They're family! Between my two reactive pups at home and extensive experience handling shelter pups, I can assure you that your pup is safe with me. For seven years, I co-led a volunteer group which took shelter dogs running each weekend. This gave me experience with every breed, size, and temperament out there. I treat each pup as an individual, always. Dog reactive? I always keep one eye up ahead and can dash behind a tree or parked car with ease. Stranger danger? I move slowly with new pups and at their pace. I also carry treats on me in case they're needed, which helps! (I strictly follow any allergy or dietary restrictions). Pup prefers a slow sniffari or a fast walk? No problem, it is their outing and they set the pace. I can do drop in visits and dog walks both during the workweek and on weekends. If my schedule shows as open, I am available! I promise to closely follow all directions you provide for the service needed, treating your home with respect and lavishing your pup with love. You can expect detailed notes and photo updates from my visit.
“Nicole is amazing! She treated Diesel like he was apart of her family. He went on atleast 30 minute walks which is needed for my dog. If you have dogs that are interested in other animals, Nicole knows how to regain attention from your dog and complete the walk. I will definitely be using Nicole again.”
“William has been great! Punctual and communicative! He hasn’t mind that my little monster can be a bit rowdy and I can tell from the walks that he brings a calm to Sneer!”
“Arianna is professional and our pup seemed super happy after playing with her, highly recommend!”
About: Big Phan of cats and dogs, and have watched pets for my family and friends for many years. I have been watching dogs in the DMV area for more than 12 years and clients consistently rely on me to take care of their pets (dogs and cats) when they are gone for the weekend or on vacation. I’m flexible so feel free to reach out and find a service that works for you. I was furloughed from my job and now have a flexible schedule all-day! This allows me to pop by when I’m needed to take care of your pets or stay for extended periods of time! I am available most evenings and weekends as well when my calendar is available! I have a fenced in front and backyard to help with taking care in house. I live close to a neighborhood park which includes a section for dogs as well.
About: I can't wait to get to know your pets! I have had a special needs cat for 10 years and am comfortable administering medicine and caring for animals who need a little extra attention. I also have a senior dog I adopted later in her life. I have experience helping an older dog learn commands and good walking manners and get comfortable in a new home. I currently have a very flexible schedule to accommodate almost any request. Please reach out if you have any pet care needs and I would be happy to try to make it work in my schedule! As a pet sitter, I can do daily visits or overnights at your home. My visits could include administering medicine, walks and playtime, food, snuggles, or whatever else your pet needs.
“We can’t say enough about how much we love working with Frankie! Frankie is kind and communicative, and our dog is always so happy after taking walks together.”
“Sarah had been a reliable, supportive, and overall excellent dog walker. I can’t say enough good things. She was willing to take on our dog after our last walker abruptly quit citing “unfriendly” behavior from our dog (no further explanation given). She was cautious and patient, giving us thorough reports of each walk. Our dog seems to love her and is always so happy after their walk. Sarah has also done an excellent job calming our dog when she comes to pick him up (he usually barks like crazy when picked up, but she has him quiet and leashed up within a few seconds of coming in the door). I am so grateful to work with Sarah and I highly recommend her services.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chanelle is fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly, prompt, and professional, with the added patience to handle our rather barky chihuahua-pug mix. Our dog doesn’t usually warm up to people quickly, but she immediately took to Chanelle, which says a lot. Her calm, reassuring approach made her feel comfortable, and it’s clear she genuinely loves working with animals. Chanelle is reliable and trustworthy, and we feel so lucky to have her as our dog walker. Highly recommend!”
“Gordon is a reliable and responsible dog walker. He always sends pictures and descriptions of the walks. He never cancels and is great with my dog! Recommend!”
About: It has been a while, but I am back to pet sitting. I used to board and pet sit on Rover for years and left for a while for other jobs, but hoping to start it up again. Ever since I was young I have had pets. From dogs, to cats, to lizards, I have had them all. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have dealt with dogs and cats with anxiety, medical issues, as well as puppies and those that have issues that come with age. I am happy to play with animals, provide general care, help them get some exercise, or to just hang out with them to provide company. Animals have always brought me joy and I would love the opportunity to hang out with your pets! I work partially from home and can be flexible on those days (Friday through Tuesday), but I am expecting to be furloughed soon which which free up my time more every day of the week. If boarding, I have a fenced in yard and live in a residential area. There several small parks around that I could walk your dog in as well. I do have a dog at home that is friendly with other dogs, but can also easily separate her from other boarded animals as well if that is preferred.
“Keaton is delightful and so good with our dog. Prompt, friendly, and has a natural rapport with all of our pets. I can’t recommend Keaton enough.”
“Matt is super responsive and really flexible with scheduling. He shows up on time and delivers on exactly what he commits to. He was also super patient when we had an issue with our smart lock, which I really appreciated! Would highly recommend.”
“Big thanks to Gregg for helping Lucy get some exercise in and going above and beyond our scheduled walks. It was such a relief knowing our pup was being well taken care of.”
About: I studied veterinary medicine and worked as a veterinary assistant. He wouldn't have any problem and take care of bathing, playing with his pet. For me it is a pleasure to work with animals is my passion and they are true loves I am available to work at any time and on whatever you need if you need help. I will be at your Availability. Don't hesitate to write to me I always like to First observe the environment of the mascot and see how I can adapt quickly and facilitate the management of the pet and then ask what are the instructions to make the pet feel calmer. And then ask the client what things the pet can do or can't do. And the things you like and always inform the customer how your pet is
About: I have been pet-sitting for most of my adult life, am skilled in dog behavior, and focus on keeping my dog guests calm, happy, and comfortable in their new surroundings. Your dog will share a cozy house with a large back yard with an elderly Basset Hound and a sweet cat. I also have a dog treat business so there will always be fresh-baked snacks around! As I have my own needy senior dog, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. The dogs who best fit into my household of older ladies are low to medium dogs over 2 years old who are content with unlimited back yard play and one long walk during the day. I have a large back yard, and I always take my dog and guests for a longer walk each day for stimulation and exercise. Dogs are permitted on furniture and the only rule is that they are respectful of ZsaZsa, the resident feline queen.
“Danielle was great! She accepted our emergency dog walking request made on the way heading out of town. She sent photos of our dog at each walk as well as food and water bowls as appropriate. Hoping to work with Danielle again in the future!”
