“My dog is often skittish around new people but took to Brett right away. Brett responded promptly to my inquiry and walked her dependably daily when I needed extra support. I will definitely contact Brett again for pet care needs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Erika and Maxwell are just the best! They were so sweet to our two dogs during the meet and greet, so we knew it was going to be a great fit. Our dogs can be a lot to walk because they are big and prey driven, but Maxwell and Erika were up to the challenge. We came back home to two very tired and happy girls. So happy we found them and hope we can book more walks and sits with them in the future!”
“Johanna is an absolute gem and exactly what you want in a dog walker. She’s organized, reliable, and punctual every single time, which has taken so much stress out of leaving our pup when we go to work. What really sets her apart from other pet sitters or walkers we’ve used is how communicative she is about the visits. She gives updates, notes about not just our dog but our goofball cats too. Her updates are great and we look forward to the pictures she sends from the walk, too! She runs a tight ship and takes her job seriously. Five stars, full send. Book Johanna.”
About: Since childhood I’ve enjoyed being around all pets and animals. I pet sit and house sit for friends and neighbors regularly. I work from home. I provide Reiki as well. If they want to go for a fun walk, swim, park or chill out snuggling then I’m flexible. Many dogs and cats that have a hard time socializing, eating, anxiety, I find ways to connect. My goal is to bring calm and support to what the animal needs while separated from their main caretaker. *I love large animals but unfortunately cannot accept requests right now for large dogs. I’m still recovering from breast cancer and unable to walk them if they pull. If you have fenced in yard, then I’ll consider. Please keep this in mind if you have jumpers as well. I work from home so I can stop in for a walk easily. If I can use your wifi, I can work from your home while hanging out with your pet. I cannot watch pets at my home. I’ll follow the normal routine in your home as closely as possible. Walks, dog parks, or snuggles.
About: I love dogs and all Animals, I also have animal and human CPR training. I am in a great dog loving area. I enjoy dogs of all sizes and ages and have the flexibility to provide and care for any dog. I have a self trained therapy dog, Athena, who loves loves to play and run, as well as cuddle...on occasion. I am willing to do whatever it takes to meet the needs of your puppy, from a simple walk to, to a drop in visit, or making my home feel like a second home to your dog or puppy. I look forward to meeting and helping you and your puppy anytime. Hope to hear from you soon. I work from home full time Monday - Friday providing me with the flexibility to meet any needs for your pup while they are staying with me. I have a enough space for the pups to play and rest together or separately, I also have plenty of room for a create if needed.
“Stephanie was outstanding as usual!! We recently moved and she was still willing to travel to help with our pup. She is wonderful with him and he loves her! We appreciate Stephanie so much!!”
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 enjoy caring for all kinds of pups—from playful and energetic to older dogs who need a little extra patience. I have experience with senior care and IVDD, so I understand the importance of gentle movement, consistency, and comfort. I’ll always tailor my care to what makes your pet feel safest and happiest. As an online college student, I have a flexible, home-based schedule, so pet care easily fits into my day. I’m able to give pets lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and consistent care throughout the day. like to tailor each visit to the dog. Some dogs want lots of play and activity, while others prefer a slower pace and extra cuddles. I follow their routine and adjust my care to what makes them feel the most comfortable and happy.
“Liza is great! Most importantly, our Abby loves her and Liza likes Abby an awful lot, too. Liza is reliable, responsive to questions and keeps me informed. She has been so kind during a family member’s serious health problems. Because they were hospitalized unexpectedly, there was and the uncertainty of how long the overnights booking would last since it was dependent on how things went after surgery.”
“Veronica has been amazing!! She was available very last minute (the day before) when I needed someone to walk my newly adopted dog. She’s been an amazing communicator, willing to do the little things like wipe my dogs paws after a walk or use the same command words that I use for my dogs. The photos of her walks are an extra touch that warms my heart. Would definitely recommend Veronica for your animal needs.”
“Ashley was great! She came over for an initial walk to meet our pup while we were home, at our request, before starting weekly walks during the work day. She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”
About: I have over 10 years of professional animal care and veterinary experience, where I’ve tended to pets with all variations of personality and maintenance. While working as a lead at an animal boarding facility I gained many skills to support animals while stressed and away from their families. Every pet is treated like my own, and I earn their trust by respecting boundaries and accommodating every animal’s personal needs. I am an excellent nail trimmer/bather for cats and dogs who allow me to do so, and am able to pill most pets if needed. My life is centered around pet care, so the rest of my schedule shapes to that routine. The animals in my care come first before other engagements or plans. All items that could cause sensitivities in pets are kept clear of their reach, windows and doors stay closed to prevent walkabouts, animals remain leashed and under direct observation when outside. When several pets are together they are never left without supervision. I administer flea/tick treatment, bathe, trim nails, clean ears, and brush teeth for my personal pets on a schedule. Prescriptions are administered accurately, and individual food needs are met, such as allergies and prescription diets.

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.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
