About: i've taken care of dogs, cats all my life. Their wellbeing is important to me. Their needs will be top priority. Let me know if there is anything specific that they need. I also am a dog walker and will make sure that they have the exercise and potty breaks that they need. Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, which allows me to be reliable, flexible, and responsive to pet parents’ needs. I plan my day to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention, including mornings, mid-day, and evenings as needed. I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable. I follow all written instructions closely, including feeding, medications, leash preferences, and home routines. I prioritize safety at all times — secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and careful observation during visits and walks. I provide updates through Rover and communicate promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I only communicate and book through Rover for safety and accountability.

Cyndi and her daughter Carson helped me out when I needed a walker for my dog Ollie for the week at the last minute. They were communicative and reliable. I will definitely be contacting them next time I need a dog walker for Ollie and highly recommend them to others.

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I keep a calm, clean home and limit the number of pets I board at one time so each pet gets plenty of individual attention. I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine, providing a low-stress environment, and keeping you updated with daily photos and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for — not just watched. Because I work from home full time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship while you’re away. Plenty of outside time and cuddle time! When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain a clean, calm environment and limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives plenty of attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime. Because I work from home full time, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision and companionship. I also provide daily photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining consistency and comfort. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, walks, medications if needed, and any household preferences. I’m respectful of your home and ensure your pet feels safe and relaxed while keeping you updated with photos and detailed check-ins after each visit.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special care needs. Your pet will always be safe, happy, and cared for with me. I have my own dog as well and would treat your pet like my own!! I currently work on a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can leave work anytime on weekdays to take care of your pet. I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of walks, playtime, and love while you’re away! I have A dog park right next to my apartment and one friendly dog to keep your pup company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow any routines you provide. We have lots of dog toys and go on lots of walks everyday! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have sat for SO MANY families outside of this app over the years and will send you lots of photos of your pup if you want them!

About: I've had animals my whole life but started professionally working with them about 5 years ago. My own animals are special needs, so I know what it's like to need someone to care for them. I love animals and hope to get to know yours! I'm available on Saturday, Sunday, Monday afternoon/evening and the evening on Friday! Other days I work full time at an animal clinic and go to school, so weekends are what I can do for you! I am very good at reading animal behavior and knowing how to get dogs and cats to trust (or at least tolerate) me. I also am familiar with a lot of different medicines and how important it is to administer them carefully, as I had a pet with chronic illnesses and work with them daily. I want to use my knowledge from working at the clinic to help you and your pets.

Our family is very grateful for Emily! She’s great with our pup and very communicative! Knowing she has a dog of her own at home also helps because she’s able to give us tips when we ask for them as we’re first time dog parents

About: I have owned and loved dogs my whole life, and really just love animals in general. I volunteer at the Nevada Humane Society and have completed "Fear Free" training. I have experience with senior dogs and understand their needs and limitations. I will be sure to follow all instructions and love your fur babies as much as you do. I recently retired and now have time to pet all the dogs! I am recently retired so I have a very flexible schedule for dog walking, mid-day potty breaks/play time, or house sitting. I can often take same day requests. I follow all instructions given and I am very good at communicating via text if any questions arise, or if you just want a quick photo of your fur baby. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. My past career in information technology project management has made me very organized, punctual, and detail oriented.

About: I grew up on a farm in Iowa. I’ve been around animals my whole life and they are what I think is the best part of life! I also worked in a veterinary hospital for over 10 years. I can’t wait to bring years of compassion and care experience to your pets. Weekends are my best availability. I work full time and can visit in the weekend when needed for drop in visits and or walks as needed. I feel most comfortable doing home visits, walks, and frequent potty breaks. I’d be happy to give your pets exercise on the weekend when you’re unavailable/gone.

About: I work from home, so dogs in my care are never left alone and always have company, attention, and love throughout the day. They get multiple walks, dog park time, a calm cozy environment, toys, music, and their own comfortable space to relax. They’re also welcome on the furniture and can sleep in bed if that’s what they’re used to. I truly see dogs as family members, not pets. I treat them the way I would treat my own child — with patience, affection, protection, and lots of care. I love having them near me while I work, and I make sure they feel safe, included, and deeply loved every moment they’re here. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around and available throughout the day. That means your pet gets more attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent companionship—not just a quick visit. On a typical day, I can plan morning, midday, and evening walks/potty breaks, plus playtime and feeding around my work schedule. I keep things structured but flexible, so I can match your pet’s routine (especially helpful for puppies, seniors, or pets that need extra check-ins). Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: safety, routine, and a calm environment. I’m detail-oriented, I follow your instructions closely, and I keep you updated so you feel confident the whole time. In your home (drop-ins / house sitting): I stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I do safety checks (doors/gates secured, leashes/harnesses fitted correctly, no access to unsafe items). I keep the space tidy and stress low—especially for pets who do best in their familiar environment. I send photo/video updates and notes after visits. In my home (boarding / daycare): Calm, supervised environment with plenty of attention since I work from home. Frequent potty breaks, exercise, and structured downtime. I keep pets separated when needed (feeding time, high energy, or if a dog prefers their own space). Only pet-safe areas are accessible—no unsafe foods, small objects, or risky spaces. My safety rules, always: I don’t take dogs off-leash unless it’s a securely fenced area and you’ve approved it. I use positive reinforcement (no harsh methods). I watch for signs of stress or illness and communicate quickly if anything seems off. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to feel totally at ease.

About: My sister relied on me to house sit and watch her dogs for a couple of weeks every summer when I was in middle and high school. I grew up with dogs and was responsible for taking them on walks, feeding them, brushing them, bathing them, and playing with them. I am between jobs so I am quite flexible right now. I am looking to get a full-time position at which point I will update my schedule here. My cats are feral rescues so I cannot afford to bring any other animals into my home, but I am very cautious while going on walks to be very aware of other dogs (especially off leash), people driving too fast in residential areas, and making sure to bring adequate water for walks on warm days.

I am a full-time student and part time worker. I am available before and after school and after work and try to make my schedule work for your needs. Reach out with times and I will try and match them! I ensure all doors to your home are locked, I also clean up any messes animals make. I take pictures of the animals food to ensure they are eating (specifically cats). I ensure the animals look happy and healthy before I leave.

About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.

Cyndi’s great. We needed someone to walk (and occasionally feed) Dutch for about two weeks while we were on an international trip. She was timely, communicated well, and our dog was taken care of. Would recommend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Northwest.

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:

  • Start and stop times
  • A map of their walk with total distance
  • Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
  • Cute photos and a personalized note
