About: I love dogs of all ages, but I adore oldies. I have learned so much in the past 10 years from the four elderly dogs I’ve had the honor to care for. I’d love to be your old dog’s new buddy. I have experience with complicated medication, exercise and other senior dog routine needs: v e r y slow walks, frequent or late-night outings, accidents, nausea, picky eating... I’m experienced comforting dogs who get confused or anxious, and managing multiple older dogs in the home. I have experience with puppies too! I raised guide dogs for the blind for 5 years, and have some basic puppy training/socializing skills. I’m a full time grad student in an online program with some field work. My schedule may change quarterly, but my availability is very flexible. I have lots of experience with complicated medication and exercise routines for pets. I stay safe on walks and can adjust to many energy and reactivity levels.
About: I have a deep love and understanding of dogs of all ages and personalities. I have experience caring for everything from playful puppies to seniors, and I can provide specialized care like administering medications, helping with mobility issues, or reinforcing basic training commands. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means giving extra cuddles, structured walks, or gentle reassurance for anxious pups. Growing up around animals and spending summers on a farm taught me patience, observation, and a strong sense of responsibility—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Above all, I treat every dog like a valued member of my own family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I keep a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can adjust my day to make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I care for pets either in my home or yours! In my home, they can run and play safely in my large fenced yard and get lots of love and attention. When I visit your home, I stick to your pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds—while making sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable.
“Nikki was on time, communicative, and available on super short notice. She was able to give our pooch a decent amount of exercise over the hour long walks we had her scheduled for.”

About: I watch two dogs daily. Can give oral medicine and treatments. Small pupplies will be separated from other pets. Pet stairs, multiple eating/drinking areas and time schedules can be managed. I am at stay at home Grandma for the Furry Grandkids. My home is in a dog friendly apartment complex. Front grassy yard and a small beach-front walking trail nearby. The day starts off with a morning bathroom stretch, fresh food and water. Washing eye crusts. Before the heat we head for a walk in the neighborhood or nearby park. Plenty of toys hidden around the house keeps the day moving. I have two neutered and obedient adult dogs that love being around friends. My neighbor has two small dogs also that come over and visit at times too. Multiple rooms to decrease tension throughout the day if needed. Soft background music plays to limit outside noise. I have two loving cats that are friendly with the dogs. Will excuse themselves if needed. Have perch places for them to observe the scene from above.
About: My mission is to offer a secure, clean, enjoyable, nurturing environment for your beloved pets, and choosing quality over quantity is essential, so your pets receives the attention, care, and comfort they deserve. With a lifelong love for animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and more, I'm here to ensure their well-being during your absence. I'll engage them in play, provide nourishing meals, and take them for daily walks to keep them active and happy. I'm a self-employed individual who works part-time from home, offering a highly flexible schedule. I take great pleasure in daily walks through our picturesque neighborhood and would make an excellent, fun, and compassionate companion for your beloved pets. Our home radiates cleanliness and warmth, boasting a spacious foyer equipped with cozy beds and toys for your beloved pets. Additionally, our generous front and backyard provide ample space for their enjoyment.
About: I have always been around pets since before I could walk. Taking care of our local neighborhood pets and of course my own! I am passionate about advocating for the safety and boundaries of pets. I have lots of experience with large dogs and reactive dogs, too. (My own dog is reactive). I’m well-versed in dog body language, and speak to them in a way I believe they understand. I am on a journey entrepreneurship, leaving my 9-5. This allows me to be available when you need me. My passion for animal care will drive my schedule! My dog, Indy, is the light of my life. He is my constant and #1 priority. We have had to go through years of training to work on his reactive behaviors and aggression, and though he does have some issues, he is the best boy! I also am always the first to reach out to my friends if they need pet care, and love meeting new pets. I am also pet CPR certified.
“Christian is great! He’s very kind, easy to communicate with, and flexible if our plans change. Our pups are high-maintenance so he’s also very patient and understanding with their quirks!”
“Ash took amazing care of my 65-lb dog Coco, walking her twice a day during a trip. She handled some big anxiety that cropped up with kindness and and kept me well updated along the way. Thanks for being such a loving support!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child, from chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs! I once trained a Rottweiler puppy commands in sign, English, and Spanish (it was hard work and I am not exactly looking to do so again haha). I am going to interviews and babysitting so my schedule is fit to change, but for now my weekends, mornings, and nights are open for your furry babies! I will follow the owners lead on comfortability for walking paths, dog friendly parks, and what is wanted to be done within their own home.
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for pets and homes. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s caring for pets, keeping a home secure, or handling special requests, I bring a trustworthy and professional approach to every booking. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I start my mornings making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for before heading to work in downtown Seattle (8 AM - 5 PM). After work, I go straight home to provide evening walks, meals, and attention. Since I have a car, I can easily travel to clients’ homes when needed. On weekends, I’m usually free all day, making me available for more flexible pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect the owner’s guidelines, keep the home tidy, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. My experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens to senior pets needing extra attention, allows me to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
“Maggie was our first official Rover experience, and she was absolutely fantastic. Coco was well taken care of for the week, and all communication from the first point of contact to the M&G to the detailed walk reports each day (with several photos each time) offered peace of mind while I was away on a work trip. Maggie was professional, communicative, and gave thoughtful attention to the specific needs and personality quirks of Coco. I highly recommend her, and would happily book Maggie again when the need arises.”


“Brenna was amazing !!❤️🥹 I sincerely loved the way she cared for my baby gator ! He loved his daily walks with her ! She made everything so easy and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care 😌. If we ever come back to the Seattle area she will be my first call to help me care for my baby gator. Thank you so much Brenna!!”

Rainier Beach dog parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle is absolutely fantastic. She not only takes care to make sure each of our (challenging in different ways) gets the physical and mental exercise they need, but she sends the best notes afterward that demonstrate how tuned in she is to the dogs’ personalities and needs. So grateful to have lucked out and found her here. A true gem. Thank you Michelle!!

Planning a trip without our kids and our fluffy is scary enough. Now to find a trustworthy dog sitter/ walker is another challenge on its own. I’m so glad I had a chance to meet D. Mochi normally would jump constantly when he meets someone new but she knew exactly what to do and how to take control. I’ve definitely found my person especially after Mochi was watching her leave our house after he watches her leave in her car as she drove off. He seemed to really enjoy her company and aura.

From the beginning Coburn was very communicative and pleasant to work with. He listened to our instructions,, gave us some constructive input, and was very accommodating. The pups loved the hour long walk around the neighborhood., Coburn provided an update and a great picture during their walk. I would definitely recommend his services.

Luke helped us out in a last minute request for dog walking and we are SO grateful for his flexibility and help! Fred immediately took to Luke and came back happy and tired. Prompt communication, arrived on time, and very happy pup, will definitely book again. Thank you!!

Luke is great and very communicative. He told me he found one of the pups had an accident when he arrived and offered to clean it up. He also filled their water before he left since their bowl was empty. The pups seemed to have really enjoyed their first walk with him! We’re looking forward to booking him in the future!
