“Jennifer has been amazing! She walks my baby with patience and enthusiasm. She leaves detailed messages and pictures after each walk. Her years of experience are reassuring as well.”
About: While I’m new to the professional platform, I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping friends with theirs. This blend of personal and informal experience means I bring both heart and reliability to the job. Having a 6‑year‑old American Labrador of my own means I feel what pet parents feel. I know the worry, the guilt, and the hope that your dog will be loved just as much in your absence. That empathy shapes the way I care for every dog I meet. So, availability per pet's requirement is my key. I am a full time caregiver. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine because I am fully focused on it and not working anywhere else. Caring for dogs is my primary commitment, so my days are structured around giving them consistent attention, companionship, and a stable routine. For Pet House-Sitting at pet parents home, I would prefer not to stay overnight, instead I can provide an early morning care. When I’m caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to maintain the comfort, routine, and environment they already know and love. I treat your home and your pet’s space with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, and any special routines your pet relies on. Because I’m fully focused on pet care and not working anywhere else, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention throughout the day, whether that means playtime, exercise, or simply being present so they never feel lonely. I also keep communication open with you, providing updates, photos, and honest check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your time away stress‑free by giving your dog reliable, loving care right in the comfort of their own home.
“Helen was SO easy to work with! She was very reliable, and my dog loved her (In fact I got the impression that he wanted to go home with her, lol, for real!). I'm so happy to have found her on Rover, as she will definitely be my go-to dog walker!! Thank you so much, Helen!! And Jones thanks you too!!”
“Did an amazing job with Jasper! He got a good walk in and got to see his friends at Riverside Park. Commicated very well and took lots of pictures! Will definitely be using again and hopefully they get to hang out some more!”
About: I have always loved dogs and I have my own pet husky, Axel! I think enrichment is crucial for pet care and I will keep your pup entertained with lots of love, exercise, and cuddles :) I recently graduated from UW Seattle and I am looking for pet-sitting gigs in the meantime. I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I will provide gentle care and walks and runs as needed. I can also provide basic grooming services like brushing and/or teeth brushing if needed.
About: I’ve grown up around cats, dogs and even frogs! I love adopting senior dogs/cats and working with them past medical challenges. I currently have a dog, four cats, and a frog! I work full time but my job is very flexible and I work from home! I am available at all hours and weekends are no issue. I have 4 cats, a dog and a frog of my own all of whom have a ton of needs and I love providing them with everything they need! Currently, I have 4 cats, a dog and a frog. They all require a ton of specific care and I make sure to keep them fed, stimulated and happy. My dog has a rare autoimmune disease which requires scheduled dermatologists visits and medications. These medications also make her need to use the restroom quite a bit more often than the average pup but I enjoy all the walks and time we get to spend together.
About: Had experience dealing with 4 toy poodles, and one Rott Weiler. Owner of two cats myself, both are Domestic Short Hairs (one ginger, one black!) I am currently undergoing flight school training, which I can arrange and book my training hours, so I will be able to find time for the required pet care you need! I have two cats at home and they are not scared of dogs so they can keep your dogs/puppies company! Needless to say they can keep your Cats company too!
“Had great experience with Laura walking my boys Max and Hiro while we were away on vacation. Laura was super punctual, flexible and communicated very well. Will be using her services again, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for over 12 years. My beloved Maltese, Tori, was a very special part of my family, and caring for him for 12 years taught me how much patience, attention, and love dogs truly need. I would love to give your pup the same kind of care, affection, patience, and attention I gave Tori. My goal is for every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ I'm home almost 24/7. I was laid off last year and am currently looking for my next opportunity. In the meantime, I have plenty of availability during the day. I drop my child off at school on weekdays around 9am and pick him up around 3 pm, so I’m available between 9am to 3pm to provide care for your pups. I’d be happy to give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime during the day! At this time, I am only able take on one small dog at a time for safety. I used to have a Maltese who sadly passed away recently to old age. I still have many toys which I would be happy to share. Knowing your pets are as happy as my dog once was brings me joy.
“Heather was great! She has years of experience dealing with all types of dogs and that was evident when she walked my dog - who has more personality and quirks than you can shake a chuck-it stick at. I knew Heather was the right choice when my dog gave her tail wags and brought her a toy on their first at home visit. Generally he takes a while to warm up to people. Heather is responsive and punctual. I’d definitely hire her again!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs most of my life and have a deep love and affection for them. As well, I recently started volunteering at Seattle Humane. I'm currently doing this part time, so I'm pretty flexible on availability on weekdays between Monday-Thursday. Though, for drop-ins, my clearest availability is between 8am-2pm. But again, I’m flexible. I can do overnights between 5pm-9am. I try to bring a calm, kind demeanor to the environment to put the cat(s) at ease; I will scoop the litter box, feed them, and if they show interest, play with them, and if not, I give them their space!
“This is the 2nd service we booked with Alison. At this time, both Bingo and Blue, our two dogs were taken care by Alison. Obviously, both our dogs were happy with Alison during the 8 days while Alison has made good efforts to treat them well. We communicated with each other constantly and thoroughly. She also adjusted her time to ensure that our dogs pee pee poo poo business were taken good care of. She is a caring person who will be happy for our dog’s growing or each progress made. They are good friends now 😊”
About: I have taken care of my family's dogs since I was in high school. My brothers have always relied on me to look after their dogs, and while I'm not exactly sure how it became my responsibility, it felt natural to me, and the dogs seem to love me. I ensure they are well-fed and maintain their health by taking them to the vet and monitoring their overall well-being. I'm currently unemployed while working on a small business project. Looking to pet sit partial of my day to support my bills etc. I have open schedule that can be negotiated. I have a good size fenced yard and my dinning area with hardwood floor for them to hang out inside. Dogs can sense me as safe when they are around me.
“Hailey was fantastic with Bella during their walk in our area. She was punctual, caring, and kept Bella happy and safe. Bella came back wagging her tail, clearly having a blast. Highly recommend Hailey’s dog walking services—5 stars!”
About: What sets me apart is my ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’ve cared for everything from tiny lap dogs to large breeds with big personalities, and I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s emotional and physical needs. I’m especially attentive to body language, routine, and comfort, which helps build trust quickly. I’m currently working full time and doing this part time! I’m available to meet your pet for an AM, mid-day, and PM check in as well as flexibility on the weekend! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, structured environment with plenty of affection, enrichment, and room to relax. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m mindful of each pet’s preferences—whether they love belly rubs or need a quiet corner to decompress. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s established routines closely. I provide companionship, exercise, and gentle guidance, always keeping an eye on behavior and mood. I’m experienced with both small and large dogs, and I adjust my approach to meet their physical and emotional needs—whether it’s leash handling for strong pullers or extra patience for shy

Helen was SO easy to work with! She was very reliable, and my dog loved her (In fact I got the impression that he wanted to go home with her, lol, for real!). I'm so happy to have found her on Rover, as she will definitely be my go-to dog walker!! Thank you so much, Helen!! And Jones thanks you too!!
Akiva was a great dog walker. He worked on getting to know my dog and meeting his needs. Always punctual, he gave Yofi the full hour walk as requested. Akiva knows a lot about dog behavior and got to know Yofi before he took him out. Akiva and Yofi had a productive "meet and greet" before accepting this task. My dog has a few quirks that Akiva handled professionally. He was also very kind with Yofi. I recommend Akiva wholeheartedly.
Daniela is outstanding! She truly has a love of animals and engaged immediately with my two pups with skill and enthusiasm, catering to their separate personalities and needs with ease. She is kind and considerate and both dogs immediately adored her. I highly recommend Daniela, thank you!!
We did a trial meet-and-greet walk with Pauline and her dog, Comet, for our German Shepherd (Korben) and Husky mix (Deckard). Pauline was fantastic. Our Husky can be a bit selective and leash-reactive, but she handled him with total confidence and ease on our neighborhood walk. She has great instincts with dog dynamics, remained completely unfazed by typical introduction behaviors, and our senior GSD took to her immediately. It’s a huge relief to find a local sitter who understands large breeds and active dogs so well. Highly recommend!

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

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.

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.

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.
