“Adesa has been my favorite dog walker on Rover! She’s always on time, does her job exactly as requested and never had any issues. If you’re looking for someone extremely dependable and who can go with the flow, she’s your person.”
“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”
“Germaine has been walking our Luna three times a week for many months. Luna loves her time with Germaine, waiting for her by the door, even on the weekends! Germaine has been incredibly responsible and as well communicates extremely well. She has been proactive in minding her schedule and the holiday schedule. We are very satisfied to have utilized Germaine's time with our loved pup!”
About: I've had dogs all my life and im always the one who gets put on puppy duty when we get one. When I lived in ohio I was a daytime/overnight dog sitter for many different people. I would watch their dogs for oay and if they had cats that was just a bonus for me free of charge because I just live them. Im.now looking to get back into dog sitting and dog walking. Im currently unemployed and would like to do this as much as possible so I have very open unavailability. Im also ok with working weekends. Im always with the animals if the animals allow it of course, I will always strive to give the best care to each animals and suit their needs.
“Cora is wonderful! I really appreciated her clear and honest communication. She sent photos everyday and was great and keeping us updated on what they did and how our pup was doing. When it was too hot for walks, she made sure to play with her inside or out back. We will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

This has provided us hands-on, real-life experience caring for animals through every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. We understand that pets are family, and treat every animal in our care with the same patience, attentiveness, and love we give our own. What sets us apart from other sitters is our personal, individualized approach.

As stay-at-home pet parents, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day.

About: For over 20 years I’ve trained and cared for my own dogs while also walking, sitting, and loving on countless others. I’ve cared for many cats over the years too. Animals are truly my happy place, and I’d love to give yours the same comfort and attention. My availability is pretty open for the summer months. Although I am not available for overnights, I can assist in the mornings, afternoons or evenings just about every day. I understand that each animal has different needs and am able to adapt to their routine. I treat every animal like my own and aim to ensure they are comfortable and happy at all times. Their space will be well respected and remain their safe space while in my care.

I offer a calm, family-style environment with lots of attention, structure, and care—plus regular updates so you always feel connected. I’m home full time so whatever your needs are, I’m sure I can absolutely make it work. I want to follow your lead on what you want and need I will treat your home like my own, a calm environment!

“Elise is a wonderful person. She did a great job with Rocky. She is very punctual and responsible. I love that she kept me up-to-date and sent pictures throughout! Would definitely recommend her! Thank you Elise!”
“Daniel has proven himself to be professional and an excellent communicator while also showing how well he is at handling our dog. Would gladly recommend him to anyone in need of top level dog care”
About: I work from home, and am able to provide lots of love and attention to your pup! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard. Our small poodle mix loves to socialize and play with other dogs. I work from home, so I’m always home! I have availability for multiple daily walks and playtime. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times. I have a fully fenced back yard. There is also a large park to walk in (leashed) in my neighborhood. I can meet any feeding needs or special instructions.
About: I’ve grown up with many pets and have such a heart for them! I am very active whether it’s walking or hiking and I would love to get your pets some exercise while i’m at it! I especially love dogs and can keep them company, stop by to feed them, and am very flexible to complete any other needs :) I am graduating high school and only have two classes leaving me with plenty of free time. Ilove to be active and making animals happy makes me happy :) I feel that socializing dogs and caring for them is very important and I would love to help with that! Pet safety is also very important to me. I understand that all pets are different with unique personalities and backgrounds. I make it my priority to focus on what your pet is most comfortable with and never putting myself or your pet in an unsafe environment. I have overflowing empathy for pets and will constantly put them first when working with them!
About: I have always had animals in my life. Cats, dogs, birds. I have cared for small and large breeds. Raised Rottweilers and our latest rescue is a Pitbull Mastiff mix from Boise Bully Breed. I have cared for pets with special needs also enjoy senior pets. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule, just need a couple hours a week on my laptop. Available for day and night walks. Over nights work for me as well. Our 3 dogs and 1 cat are all very spoiled. The dogs are seniors so their exercise is always age appropriate. When we have foster pups they all step up for quiet play. Whenever I care for others pets I always want to specialize the care for what works best for the animal. I know my own pets are use to their routines and I think it's important to maintain those as pets can often get anxious when moms and dads are gone.
About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.
Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Is there such a thing as the perfect pet caretaker? I didn’t think so until we worked with Tara. She watched our giant breed dog, Milo, for almost two weeks, coming twice a day and treating him like he was her own. Honestly, I think he got spoiled. Tara went above and beyond in every way. She made his walks extra long, never cut corners, and even took our trash cans out and brought them back in without us asking. We were gone for a long time and very far away, so seeing her show up every single day, right on time, and take such great care of Milo made the trip so much less stressful. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. We’re incredibly thankful for the peace of mind Tara gave us, and for being so caring, thoughtful, and responsible with our big baby family member we unfortunately couldn’t bring with us.
Michael walked my dogs for the first time this week while I was out of town. He was patient and kind, and my dogs absolutely love him. I have a new puppy, and it's very clear that Michael worked with him while walking and not only made sure he didn't regress in his training, but made even more progress with him. I wasn't sure how often or long he'd need to be walked while I was gone, and Michael worked me to adjust his schedule when it looked like pup needed more. 10/10 from me, and we'll absolutely use him every time as well as highly recommend him to anyone who needs pet care!
Ryan & Giovanna walked Toby for us and were punctual, communicative and provided great care for him! They went above and beyond just providing walks but also wiping him down, providing fresh water and feeding him. We were happy with their service. Would recommend.
