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.
“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”
“Patrick is prompt and will check- in and notify me of schedule changes. My dog is weary of strangers and Patrick had no hesitation to meet Boba first with a trial run. Patrick sends me check-in photos and videos and has become part of my dogs "pack". She can tell he is of good nature which makes me put my utmost trust in Patrick and I am so grateful to have him as a consistent dog walker when I'm away for long days at work.”
“Carly is the best walker! My dog is really nervous when I’m out of town and had an accident. Carly went above and beyond and cleaned up after her, which I so appreciate!! Thank you Carly!!”
About: With 29 years of experience in pet care and 8 years of hands-on professional work focused specifically on dogs and their hygiene needs, I bring a deep understanding of canine communication and behavior. I’m passionate about creating positive, stress-free experiences for every dog I meet, and it’s truly one of my life’s missions to help dogs feel safe, happy, and understood. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply reassurance, your dog will always be treated with patience, love, and expert care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I often enjoy daily walks and love incorporating dog walks or runs into that time. This allows me to provide fun, engaging exercise for your dog. While you’re taking care of your commitments, I can ensure your pup gets the activity, attention, and fresh air they deserve. Your pet gets high-quality activity, and I get an enthusiastic outside buddy—it's a perfect match! I take safety and emotional well-being seriously. I’m highly aware of canine body language and individual preferences, and I tailor my approach to each dog’s needs. On walks, I use consistent safety measures such as shielding your dog from unfamiliar humans or animals and steering clear of potential stressors. My priority is creating an environment where your dog feels protected and understood—and where you can trust that their safety is always at the forefront.
About: For 2 years I worked as a veterinary assistant and after moving to Pullman to continue my education in animal care I gained experience in grooming, boarding and elderly care. I have just moved to Renton and am in-between jobs. I use rover as a second job when I do have a job but as of right now I am open for care fulltime. Often times owners will provide me with a strict set of guidelines to be followed with there pet. I will always follow these to a T as owners know there pet best. I'm trained to recognize signs and symptoms of common illnesses and am certified in Animal CPR and recovery analysis. It is my top priority to make sure your pet is healthy and happy under my care.
“Emily is a huge help, she is punctual and reliable and I always feel she goes the extra mile when she walks my dog. She's very communicative and always keeps me updated on anything I need to know. Hiring her has made my life so much easier!”
“Chase was great. This was our first experience having a dog sitter. Our dog became quickly comfortable with Chase. She communicated and kept us updated about our dog constantly and spent quality time with our dog. We highly recommend Chase.”
“Jessica was quick to respond to my request for a dog walker. She was great at communicating with me about when she would arrive to get our dog. She sent pics from each walk and let me know how it went. My dog and I were very pleased with her service!”
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!!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Renton
We’ve used Emily quite a few times to care for our dogs while we’re out of town, and she’s been wonderful! She is always right on time and is so great with our dogs. We especially appreciate all the pictures she sends and the updates about how they did on their walks—it’s so nice to know they’re happy and well cared for while we’re away. We will absolutely continue to use Emily and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring for their pets!
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.
Natalie is one of the best dog walkers I found on the app. She is experienced in walking large and sometimes reactive dogs and is very patient, assertive and kind with Cila. She is lovely to work with--always extremely communicative and flexible. I cannot recommend her enough! She is a rockstar and Cilantro and I are so lucky to have her as our dog walker!
I hired Sharin because I'm recovering from surgery, and like me Ollie had cabin fever and needed to get out, yet I was in no condition to be walking. Sharin arrived on time and I had Ollie ready to go in his harness. He was really excited to meet her and she was so sweet to him. He's a dachshund so he can bark quite a bit, but he seemed to be relaxed when they left, which made me feel at ease. After the walk, Ollie watched her leave. I definitely would want Sharin to walk Ollie when needed.

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 Renton. 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 Renton.

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:
- 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.
