About: Your dog is SAFE, I am RESPONSIBLE and your dog is FAMILY, to me!!! I am physically fit, full of humor and just waiting for a dog or dogs to care for. I have a cat but he is not interested in outside adventures as he just sleeps, lol I am semi retired so I am flexible. When I'm not at the gym, I walk different dogs at my condo's, just for fun--honestly! I can provide references as well. Your dog is my "child", while in my care. I take this job/responsibly very seriously, which you will soon find out! We will play, run, and walk and quickly develop a love for each other!!

About: Pets have been my life ever since I was five years old. I wasn't a caretaker at that age, but I've fostered a close connection and understanding towards pets ever since. As I got older, my responsibilities grew in kind, and I became much more involved in the day-to-day care of dogs and cats. I've been fortunate to be a part of six dogs lives, and each have brought different temperaments, attitudes, and energy levels. Four of the six were rescues, so I understand the patience and attentiveness needed to properly address their needs and quirks. I also helped raise a 10 week old puppy into adulthood, so I am very familiar with what it takes to handle the stubbornness and energy of a young pup. While it's been some time since my cat has passed away, I likewise share a similar understanding to their needs and socialization. It requires a different approach than a dog but I am happy to adapt to the pet at hand and ensure they receive the best care possible. I have returned from a term of service abroad in the Peace Corps, and am currently searching for employment as I settle back in the states. I will be living in Washington for the time being before I set off to grad school. As such, my schedule is fairly open for dog walking and check-ins. Some of my fondest memories abroad was walking around the countryside in my spare time, so I'm excited to continue that here with some new friends! I will ensure that the pets' needs are addressed in full with the client before I take on the service, and adhere to the directions advised. I cannot currently board pets at my home, but I am happy to check in on pets whilst abiding by the rules of my client's homes.

About: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. My initial posting with Rover.com was years ago. At that time circumstances changed so it wasn't until this last summer of 2025, that I happily began to board dogs again. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of your dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs with special needs, unspayed females or dogs who require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available by appointment. Schedule availability varies. I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed especially for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Dog guests who are boarding are walked 45-60 minutes per day which is included in daily rates. Your dog will be the only dog in my care while boarding > unless your family has 2 dogs you wish to board. There is a maximum of 2 dogs in care. Daycare is available. For further information on daycare, please contact me. Dog walking is also available, in my local area. Inquiries are welcome.

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life, as my family has always had multiple pets. Around 2017 while I was still in high school I started to care for my friends, families, and neighbors pets. I’ve been taking dogs on walks, caring for cats, house sitting and doing general pet care ever since then. I worked at a doggie daycare and boarding facility for a year and now I work at a vet clinic! My job is my biggest passion and I have learned so much. Animals are one of my favorite things, so I’d love to help care for yours! I work part time currently and my schedule changes frequently. I have some say within reason on when in a week I work so if you need specific days/times just let me know. If you are ok with flexibility on scheduling then I am a good fit for you! I try to treat your animal exactly how you would! If they need multiple bathroom breaks I’m there. If they need rigorous play I’m there. If they want to just hang out and cuddle? Sign me up!

About: I've taken care of my own dogs since I was around 14, and I dogsit a family friends big dogs. Having stubborn dogs has led me to have alot of patience and quick with reflexes. Gaining experience with bigger dogs that can be seen as aggressive or scary has helped me learn to be more calm and careful. Per care for me helps me also exercise too! I love going on walks with my dogs and it gives them proper outside time, instead of just putting them out back. I will ensure that I can be on alert for bathroom during the night, ensuring that they feel safe with me as well. Gaining trust is # 1.

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: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, horses, lizards, frogs, chickens, and goats. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities, from playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine. I truly love animals and treat every pet with the same kindness, patience, and care that I give my own. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in good hands! Pet care is already a regular part of my daily life! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, doggy daycare, and overnight boarding in my home. I enjoy spending time with animals and love being able to give them plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. Whether your pet is staying in my home, joining me for daycare, or receiving a visit or walk, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow each owner’s instructions, respect their pet’s routines, and pay close attention to their individual needs and personalities. I’m also happy to provide updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for!

About: Experienced Animal Caregiver | Dogs, Cats & Beyond Animals have been a major part of my life both personally and professionally. My experience includes pet sitting as well as professional animal care, including working as a zookeeper and later Head Zookeeper. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, exotic animals, and hoof stock, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, routines, and care needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine and personality so I can provide care that feels familiar, comfortable, and consistent. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, check-ins, and other individual care needs. I’m accustomed to caring for animals every day and understand how important consistency and routine are. I can also accommodate different schedules and spend quality time with pets rather than rushing through visits. I care for each pet according to their normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or potty care, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and plenty of individual attention. I take time to learn each animal’s personality and comfort level and never force interaction. My professional animal-care background has taught me to closely observe behavior, body language, appetite, and other changes that could indicate stress or a health concern. I prioritize safety, keep the pet’s environment clean and secure, and treat every client’s home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Hello, I’m Jan! As the dog mom of two precious high energy dogs , I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! ( & happy owner ) i would love to give your pup the perfect mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection while you are busy or away. If your dog is a high energy pup who loves a long walk & a game of fetch or a senior dog who prefers a gentle sniff and walk to explore the neighborhood, I am available to tailor every outing to their unique pace and personality. I am a NICU nurse who works long shifts and completely understands the trouble of leaving your dog alone for a while and would love to help others with that burden & dog parent guilt :-) I have a predictable work schedule up to 6 weeks in advance which makes it easy to work around other people’s schedule! I enjoy spending time outside ( even in the rainy season ) so I’m available pretty much all day on my days off from work! I personally have reactive dogs so safety is always my absolute priority. During walks I keep the dog on a secure, standard leash (no retractables for safety) and maintain full situational awareness of our surroundings. I never allow strange dogs to approach. For house visits, I double check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving, and I always ensure your pet has fresh water and a safe space to relax before I depart. As a NICU nurse I am able to stay calm and act immediately In the rare event of an emergency My first step is to secure the pet to prevent further risk or injury. You will immediately be contacted as well as your preferred veterinarian. If it is a time sensitive issue, I will contact Rover's 24/7 Trust & Safety Support team for immediate backup and vet guidance while keeping you updated every step of the way.

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.

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 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 , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

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 .

walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
