About: We had well trained dogs for a long time. We've had, cockerspaniel, mutts, rottweiler, chihuahua, and a doberman. We’re well suited to handle dogs of all sizes, as long as they have good temperament. If you're curious about anything else, we’re happy to have an open conversation about what kind of care we’re able to provide! We’re happy to offer boarding services late on Friday through Sunday, as we have space to ensure your dog gets the care they deserve. "Care", i think, is probably pet dependent. We’re open to adapting to a pet's needs (within reason), and will do our best to mold to the care it's used to receiving from their own family.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and a proud cat mom to a 4-year-old British Shorthair boy. I offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs. I started on Rover in 2025 and have already cared for 60+ cats, each with their own unique personality. I am great at following care instructions and handling cats with varying temperaments — from playful and social to shy and independent. I love bringing them new toys to play with and taking cute pictures of them! I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d be so happy to meet and care for your furry baby! 🐾 I am currently working part time and have a flexible schedule, both weekdays and weekends! I would prefer the booking times to be between 9am and 9pm. I’d like to know about the personality of your pet before the visit and I follow instructions carefully. I will make sure they are well taken care of while you are away.

“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog, Hazel. She’s been taking Hazel on long weekday walks and has truly gone above and beyond. Hazel used to pull and get easily distracted on walks, which made them challenging, and Rachel immediately offered to work with her on loose-leash walking. In just a short time, Hazel has improved so much and is now walking calmly, paying attention, and doing great on leash. Rachel is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She sends thoughtful updates and the cutest photos, and Hazel absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she arrives. We’re so grateful to have found Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker.”

About: I have always had dogs, and I have always "spoken dog". Your dog is a person (a canine-person) with needs and opinions, who wants to be respected, communicated with, and played with. I own a Red Heeler/Oz Shepherd mix (regarded as challenging breeds) and she never needs to be on a leash as because she is under full voice control, and she became that way through my training, with consistent love, reassurance and positive reinforcement. (Your dog will be leashed as needed, based on their habits, and always following rules/laws). When your dog goes with me, they will be mentally and physically stimulated, they will be loved and respected, and they will always be receiving positive training when they are with me (they will be guided to mind their manners!). I am living part-time in a Redmond apartment with my teenage son to support his soccer career. My primary job is online and schedule is very flexible. Walking dogs is both for nourishing my soul and making extra cash. When I am on the job your dog gets my 100% attention. Their happiness (and practicing of good behavior) is my priority. Leashed walk, unleashed walks (as appropriate) playing in the house or yard, formal training as desired... whatever you and your dog are wanting/needing.

“Juniper did a wonderful job with my dog Peach’s first walk! She took the time to meet with us a day beforehand to learn our routine and asked great questions. Her summary of the walk was well detailed, and she included some great pictures! Peach is nervous around strangers, and Juniper did a great job being aware and thoughtful of that. Overall Juniper was lovely to deal with and I feel great about trusting her regularly for walks with Peach.”

About: My entire life I have been raised alongside animals of all kinds, so I have a genuine passion for their care. It was always a responsibility of mine to help take care of our own at home pets as a kid, but eventually I moved up to helping out other family members, friends of family, neighbors, friends of friends, etc. with their pets while they were out working, on vacation, or just out on the town for the night. This included making sure pet was safe, happy, fed, relieved of any potty breaks, had constant access to water, and was enriched with plenty of play time and some treats! I'm currently available Sun-Mon, 9a-3p. I can make some exceptions here and there for different times during those days, just need more information of time and reason. There is a perfectly quiet and spacious dog park right here in my neighborhood. I do have a Dachshund and cat at home. Kitty is very friendly and playful with dogs XS-L, the menace of the house is the Dachshund. He is very temperamental with other dogs, but has never been aggressive.

About: Some of my best friends have been dogs, cats and horses and I have been lucky enough to take care of my friend's animals when they travel. I’m happiest in the company of critters and happy to help you and your pet if you need a walker or a few days of R&R. I work from home and am able to make my own schedule. I go to Marymoor dog park every day, sometimes twice a day, and love to have a dog or two join me for a walk, run or hike. I am lucky enough to have a private enclosed dog run behind my building and can play with your dog there if Marymoor is too overwhelming for your pup. I own my own home in a secure building with an elevator and private, fenced-in dog run. I am happy to feed at certain hours or have a dish of food out for grazing. I follow the owner's lead in terms of the number of walks, allowing dogs on furniture or socializing with other dogs. I believe in playing with a dog to keep them engaged and happy.

About: Hi there! I'm Mayank, and while I may spend my days crafting code as a software developer, my heart belongs to the world of wags and wet noses. For as long as I can remember, dogs have held a special place in my life. Unfortunately, my current lifestyle doesn't allow me to have a furry friend of my own just yet. But the truth is, spending time with dogs is like therapy for me. Their unconditional love, playful energy, and constant enthusiasm bring a smile to my face no matter what. That's why I'm thrilled to be offering dog walking and care services! I see it as a win-win: your pup gets the exercise and companionship they crave, while I get my daily dose of doggy delight. I'm not just a dog lover, I'm also a responsible and reliable caregiver. I'm committed to providing your furry friend with a safe, fun, and enriching experience tailored to their needs. Whether it's a daily walk filled with tail-chasing adventures, playtime in the park, or simply some cuddles and belly rubs, I'll ensure your pup feels loved and cared for while you're away. Let's chat and see how I can become your dog's new best walk buddy! Since I don't currently have a dog myself, my schedule is quite flexible to accommodate your pet's needs! Here's how pet care can fit into my routine: Regular Walks & Visits: I'm available for walks, playtime, or check-ins with your pet every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 11 AM and 3 PM throughout 2024. This consistent schedule ensures your pet gets the regular care they need. Special Requests: Need a weekday walk or visit outside these times? No problem! Just let me know in advance and I'll be happy to see if it fits with my commitments. I'm always flexible and can look into my schedule to accommodate special cases whenever possible. This flexibility allows me to tailor my services to your pet's needs, whether they require a consistent routine or occasional care. Feel free to reach out and discuss your specific needs! Safety, Trust, and Tailored Care: Where Your Pup Feels at Home Whether your dog joins me for walks in the park or enjoys playtime at your place, safety and trust are my top priorities. Here's how I ensure a positive experience for both you and your furry friend: In Your Home: Meet & Greet: Before our first session, I'll schedule a free consultation to get to know you and your pet. This allows us to discuss your pet's needs, preferences, and any specific instructions. We'll also go through your home environment to ensure it's safe for playtime or walks on leash. Leash Manners & Secure Walks: During walks, I'll always use a secure leash and harness appropriate for your dog's size and temperament. I'm also trained in positive reinforcement techniques to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk for everyone. Clean-up Crew: Accidents happen! I'll always carry clean-up bags and dispose of waste responsibly, leaving your home spotless. Constant Communication: Throughout the visit, I'll keep you updated with pictures and texts, giving you peace of mind and letting you see your pup having a blast. Walks in the Park: Safe Routes & Park Etiquette: I'll choose dog-friendly parks and routes that are well-maintained and appropriate for your dog's activity level. I'm also familiar with park rules and etiquette, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable outing. Hydration & Rest: I'll always carry fresh water and a bowl for your dog to stay hydrated during walks. We'll also take breaks as needed, allowing your pup to rest and explore at their own pace. Socialization (Optional): If you'd like, I can introduce your dog to other friendly pups during walks, promoting positive social interactions. Overall Trust & Comfort: Pet CPR & First Aid Certified: I'm certified in Pet CPR and First Aid, providing an extra layer of security and ensuring I can handle unexpected situations calmly. Background Checked & Insured: Your pet's safety is paramount. I undergo a background check and carry pet-sitting insurance for added peace of mind. Love & Patience: Above all, I treat your dog with the same love and respect I would give my own furry companion. Positive reinforcement and a calm demeanor will ensure your pet feels comfortable and happy throughout our time together. By following these protocols, I can create a safe, trusting, and enjoyable environment for your dog, whether they're exploring the park or relaxing in the familiar comfort of your home.

Regardless, my pups were pulled in like a tractor beam. Her incredible attention to detail and timeliness leads me to believe that she has trained in the fine art of handcrafting high end Swiss timepieces. Do yourself and your doggies a favor and hire her ASAP! She's amazing! Like, really amazing!”

FAQs for Dog Walking - Redmond

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Redmond on Rover is $29.97 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 11,299 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Redmond. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Redmond. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Redmond.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Redmond. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
