About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.
“Lori was great and was so sweet with Baobao. We really appreciated her coming for a meet and greet so everyone was comfortable with the situation. Baobao was clearly comfortable with her”
About: I've been animal lover my entire life, and I've been taking care of animals just as long, from watching relatives pets to petsitting for neighbors, and even now working at a pet boarding service. The only pets I currently own are a lovely torbie calico named Stella, a peach-faced lovebird named Tar, and a small tank of fish, which means that I have PLENTY of love to offer your pets ♥️. My experience with animals covers many pet types and needs, including senior dogs needing medications and grooming, puppies needing basic training, shy cats, and even baby birds, so I'm willing to work with just about any animals situation. I currently work 4-5 days a week in the afternoon-evenings at a pet boarding facility, with Wednesdays and Saturdays consistently open and other days varying. On the days I am scheduled, I am generally available before (10:30am-1pm) or after (after 10pm) work for walks/drop ins, and will accept overnight sittings on a case by case basis. I follow any pet care instructions provided to me as close as possible, to avoid interrupting the pets schedule when they're likely already stressed. I can also send pictures and/or updates on any pets at the owners request!
About: Raised around dogs (and cats) and would love to care for your pets in my home or yours. Comfortable with senior dogs as well as others. I am retired and available any time. I would need a couple of days' notice, preferably. I live in an apartment with a beautiful dog-walking area and nearby parks to walk in. I no longer have pets of my own, having just lost my 17-year-old Rat Terrier. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I can administer medications and make sure they feel safe with me. I don't push, but let them come to me when they feel ready. Separation from you is anxiety-inducing, and I do my best to calm them and let them now they are not alone.
“I contacted Chase on short notice due to work emergency. She took my dog to her appointment to be spayed. Not only did Chase take my girls but Chase left her number as an emergency contact if the Vet could not reach me. Chase’s communication was great and I could not be happier with the care she gave my pup. Chase even checked back to see if I might need her to pick up my pup after the procedure. I won’t hesitate to work with Chase in the future and am beyond happy with the help and peace of mind she gave me.”

About: While I am newer to professional pet sitting, I am a lifelong animal lover who is incredibly responsible, attentive, and eager to help. I have spent time caring for family and friends' pets in the past, and I know how important it is to treat every dog with patience and kindness. Because I am building my experience, I make it a priority to follow your exact instructions, routines, and house rules down to a T. I provide Frequent updates for your peace of mind.

“Shelli is such a good friend to Dante! She is very considerate and easy to work with and Dante always has such a great time. He loves his daily walks! Thank you, Shelli!”
About: I love animals but have no fur babies of my own. So I really enjoy showering other people's pets with all the attention and scritches I have to give! I have taken care of all kinds of dogs; from chihuahuas to newfoundlands, puppies to seniors, beautiful mutts to regal standard poodles. I am self employed and typically don't work while I'm pet sitting, which gives me lots of flexibility and frees up my time for your fur babies. I stay with animals in their homes so they feel the most comfortable they can while their people are away. I'm fine with animals sleeping in bed with me if that's what their used to as well.
“May was able to help out on short notice which was much appreciated. She was promot picking up Hulu for his walk and always sent update pics. We would definitely use May again.”
“Kaitlin is an amazing walker. She’s flexible, she handles my hyper reactive Pomsky well and sends the cutest pictures of her out on her little adventures. My dog is always so excited when she shows up and doesn’t even look back at me once cuz she’s ready to go, and that’s how I know she feels safe to go with Kaitlin. Would definitely recommend!”
“Banjo’s first walk with Jeannie was a smashing success! Her updates gave us the piece of mind that he was in the best of hands during his walk. Looking forward to booking with Jeannie again.”

Sophie is incredibly responsive and attentive and got to know my dog very quickly. I’m amazed at how much she understands how my dog is communicating after just two walks together. Glad to have such stellar regular care for my dog, who is a wee sensitive and skittish but bonded to Sophie immediately
Catelyn is very professional, responsible, and friendly. She has excellent communication skills with both clients and pets, and consistently demonstrates patience, compassion, and attention to detail in her work. She is dependable, trustworthy, and always takes the time to ensure that both pets and their owners feel comfortable and well cared for. My dog absolutely loves her and is always excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the positive connection she builds with animals. I highly recommend Catelyn to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated professional.
Ali was absolutely wonderful with our husky! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while we were away. Knowing our girl was getting plenty of exercise, attention, and care each day gave us so much peace of mind. Ali clearly loves animals and treated our dog like she was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We would absolutely trust Ali with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker. Thank you, Ali!
Mashayla was fantastic with Ace! She walked him for us while we were out for the evening, and the whole experience was seamless. She was punctual, communicative, and sent us a great update along with photos, which we loved receiving. It was clear she took great care of Ace and genuinely loves animals. Knowing Ace was in such good hands allowed us to enjoy our evening without worrying, and we really appreciated the extra effort she put into keeping us updated. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says it all. We would definitely book with Mashayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy dog walker!
Daniel was so prompt and enthusiastic. He clearly cares about taking great care of my elderly dog. Asked lots of really pertinent questions. Helped me get to know the Rover app and system (it was my first time using the app and I misunderstood some stuff). Looking forward to having extra help taking care of my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Renton is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,196 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Renton. 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 Renton. 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 Renton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Renton. On Rover:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
