“Maddy was great with walking our very excitable and energetic cattle dog, Otis. He liked her very much. She communicated well, sent me photos and a walk map, and was flexible with booking times. I would hire her again!”
“Helena made time to do a meet & greet with my dog prior to booking. She responded quickly & professionally to every message, and she kindly answered all of my questions/concerns. She gave me updates & pictures after every walk which was awesome! I knew my dog was in great hands, I'd 10/10 recommended her to anyone & I will definitely be booking her in the future!! Thank you Helena! 😊”
“I highly reccomend Brett! I got very sick and was in a pretty desperate situation with my newly rescued, very large pitt mix. I contacted Brett and he got in touch with me right away. He came at the drop of a hat a few days when Ash really need a walk. He even came from farther than he routinely helps people. Very reliable, punctual and kind. Was easily able to handle my 85 lb pitt mix. (With bad manners...lol) I'm very grateful for the help he gave me. Give him a call!”
“Julianne is a wonderful dog lover. She clearly loves caring for animals and our boy Oscar can't goings wait goingsfor walks with her. She is a great communicator and takes outstanding pictures too. Julianne is the best!”
“I have a skittish Sheltie who does not warm up to people easily. Zach shows great experience working with dogs and has gotten our dog to interact with him where others have not. I appreciate his dedication to taking care of animals and it was evidenced by the relevant questions he asked in our initial interview. So happy to have someone who I can trust my dogs with!”
“Matthew obviously has a passion for dogs. He was very patient with our dog who is fearful and has some barrier reactivity. His willingness to continue trying to work with her was really appreciated. Matthew was very quick to reply to any requests as well.”
About: We are an active dog loving family in Olympia. We love to get out to Capital Forest on the weekend or run or walk to our local parks. We work from home most days and otherwise work close to home. We work full-time from home 3 days per week and venture into the office a short distance 2 days per week. Our early morning feed and walk routine makes us ideal for hosting your pet at our place or for making a morning visit to care for your dog. We have a fenced front and back yard. The fence is high (6ft). We offer a quiet environment with much dog lounging to be had as well as playtime outside or in. Our wooded side lot offers many birds, sounds and smells for dogs to enjoy.
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so for daycare your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and adopted my own 11 years ago. I've cared for both cats and dogs of family members and friends. During Covid we adopted a rescue puppy and I was the primary responsibility for her training and care. I work from home most days of the week, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet! My schedule is most flexible Friday-Monday making it perfect for a long weekend. As a dog owner myself, your pets safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I have crate-trained dogs and am comfortable adjusting my care approach to the pet.
“Emma is professional, a great communicator and very reliable. She works with my quirky dog and seems to enjoy his company. I am recovering from knee surgery and her daily walks are a godsend. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at home and I absolutely love taking care and spending time with each of them. I have also done some volunteer work at Spokane Humane Society. I love spending time with animals of all kinds and my goal is to study zoology and work at an animal sanctuary. I am available anytime as of now. I can do mornings,afternoons, and evenings. I am pretty flexible with my schedule. We can come up with a plan that works for both of us! I have a fully fenced in back and front yard and friendly pups to keep your dog company. I am very flexible with my schedule to cater to your pet care needs.
“Cayeln is absolutely amazing! I love her creativity to ask me where she wanted to walk Darla. Darla aay a squirrel and took off to chase the squirrel with such force the leash snapped. The great thing is she waa able to run her down and get Darla back with her. Darla loves Cayeln! She has such a wonderful spirit about herself and I love the trust that my dog has with Cayeln! I'm going to book her once a week for the next 3 months!”
About: I have worked with both puppies and senior dogs, i have 2 poochon puppies that are 1 year old. I am currently going to school to be a vet technician and I volunteer at the animal shelter in the cat and dog rooms. I have experience handling all different types and sizes of dogs. Im a college student and currently working part-time in the late afternoons. So I have plenty of time to walk, play and give potty breaks! I have a fenced yard suitable for small to medium dogs. I have a large room that I can close off that has tile flooring and access to the backyard and also have pens if dogs need to be separated.
About: I have trained my own heeler puppy since she was 10 weeks old. As well as helped raise another cattle dog until he was 8yo and have cared for and loved many different animals over the years I'm working part time and make up my own schedule. So I will usually have plenty of time for giving animals lots of attention and love. I have my own very sweet 2yo heeler that has been friendly with all dogs. And a sizeable backyard for supervised playtime. I value patience and calmness making the most out of positive reinforcement to promote good behavior.
About: I have had dogs, large and small, young and old since childhood and was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up. I'm a proud German Shepherd mama who would love to add a short term or extended stay buddy for Miss Ziva. Now that I work from home full time, my pupper needs a friend! We'd love to meet your fur baby. Don't let my baby's size fool you, she's a huge lover. I would prefer my home but can make arrangements to come to you! My dog is a free range dog in the house, but can adapt to changes depending on our guest. Definitely will respect your fur babies routine. We do have a dog park at my complex and would accommodate any anxiety issues. My 15 year old would give your baby extra attention as she is a regular Nana Nurse.
About: Experienced with cats, dogs, and reptiles, especially snakes. Comfortable providing diabetic cat medication management, specialized care, and attentive, compassionate support for every pet. Fast Learner. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and their individual care, routines, and needs. I provide drop-in visits and overnight care in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, safety, and household instructions while giving each pet plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of both your home and your pets’ individual needs, and will provide regular updates for peace of mind while you’re away. Unfortunately, at this current time I am unable to provide care in my home.
“Jackie took our puppy on two walks this week and was great! She’s always right on time! I went with her the first time and learned some tips for walking her! Definitely plan to ask Jackie for help in the future too!”
About: I have had pets of my own for over 30 years. I love all animals and think they all have different and special personalities. Currently, I have one dogs (Pembroke-Welsch Corgi) and one cat (a Maine Coon). I am available for weekday walks, evening care, and petsitting on weekends or longer if scheduled ahead of time. I can either come to your pet, take them to a park, or bring them to my home for socializing with my pets. Whatever you like! I have a fully-fenced yard and one friendly dog that can socialize with your pup(s) if interested. Otherwise, we can make accommodations for crating if that is requested.

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 Olympia. 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 Olympia after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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.
