“Constance was amazing! I’m very happy I chose her. She explains every detail about what was done or not during the walk, and adds lots of pictures (which I loved the most). We will definitely be contacting her again to walk our dog when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”
“Melody and Rufus enjoyed their time with Anne. Anne took great care of them both and we will be having her take them both for walks weekly. Thank you for being so great with our dogs💕”
About: I have 2+ experience as a vet assistant in general practice and ER. I have a lifetime of animal care experience with a wide variety of animals including cats and exotics. I know how important it is to have someone to watch your pets that will treat your babies like they are their own and put your mind at ease when you're away. I currently only work Tuesdays in Tacoma, so I am only available in mornings/evenings that day for a close drive but only in the evenings for a drive more than 15 minutes from my home, but can work with you and be as flexible as possible with potty breaks for our dog friends. I am typically completely available on my days off I will treat your house and pets as my own and leave it the way I left it or more clean! I have respect for clients and love for all of the animals I care for, I take pride in making sure that everything is taken care of and exceeds expectations. I also am not afraid to ask you questions if I'm unsure of something.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve been responsible for caring for family pets for as long as I can remember, and I’ve worked professionally as a dog groomer for over 10 years. I also have experience owning and caring for a wide variety of pets, giving me a strong understanding of different species, personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll treat them like one of my own. 🐾 I’m typically more open and flexible with times in the middle of the week (Wednesday - Thursday) and every other weekend, as I groom full time the rest of the week! But I am available mornings and nights, daily. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and make sure they always have access to fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of attention. With 10+ years of professional experience working with animals, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and will communicate with you promptly if any concerns arise. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
About: Taken care of many animals all my life! I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time on my hands and I’m always outside! I handle rodents, canine, feline, bunnies, lizards, fish, and frogs! Open to all animals :-) Stay at home mom so I have all the time in the world!

About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for one vacation I have planned in August (which is blocked out on my calendar). I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can extend stays if needed. I plan on getting a regularly scheduled job after summer so my schedule will be less open but after communication I can let you know if I am available or not. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.
About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with Kona. We especially loved that she asked to come meet Kona before our scheduled walks. We had her booked for two walks, and she even helped us out last minute with a third. We hope to work with Sarah again, and definitely recommend her.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, bathing, exercise, and daily care while making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are followed. I’ve cared for both energetic and shy pets, as well as dogs with disabilities. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets who may need extra support. I always focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I treat every animal like my own and take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Communication is also very important. I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s care so you can feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands! I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, including anxious, sensitive, high-energy, senior, and medically complex pets. I’m calm, observant, and very attentive to behavioral changes, body language, and routines. I know how important consistency and emotional safety are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m also experienced with administering medications, reinforcing routines, long walks, enrichment/play, and providing patient companionship for pets who need a slower or more thoughtful approach. Cleanliness, communication, and reliability are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pets and home with care and respect. I work part-time remotely as a psychologist, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the week. Fridays through Mondays are generally my most open days for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Tuesdays through Thursdays tend to be my busier workdays, so during those days I’m best suited for overnight care, house sitting where I can work remotely from your home, or boarding/day care in my home for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work nearby. I still prioritize regular walks, enrichment, affection, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about only taking bookings I can genuinely show up well for, and I value consistency, communication, and helping pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and attentiveness are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, temperament, triggers, exercise needs, and comfort level so I can provide care that feels consistent and supportive for them. In my home, pets are always supervised carefully and kept on leash outside. I prioritize safe walks, enrichment, play, companionship, and calm structure rather than simply letting dogs loose in a yard. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral changes, and environmental safety, especially for anxious, senior, or sensitive pets. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, communicative, and mindful of maintaining the routines and environment pets are already comfortable with.
About: I have almost 24 years of experience working with a variety of animals in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, boarding/doggy day care and pet sitting). I am working full-time at a veterinary clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On those days, I would be with your pets in the morning before work and after work. On Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday then I would be with your pets full-time. Since I am caring for pets in their own home, I will follow the guidelines and rules that have been provided for their safety and protection.
“Lily was great with our dog! She was flexible with our schedule, very dependable, and communicative. She returned my call prior to booking to discuss details since I was a new client. We would highly recommend Lily to other clients. She was very kind and loving towards our dog. JoJo seemed to enjoy her walks with you. Heather S.”
About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for caring for pets of all kinds. With 13 years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring not just expertise, but genuine passion to every pet I care for. As a proud pet parent of two dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your furry family members with the same love and attention as you do. I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to walk or care for your pets. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll be happy to assist! I currently live in townhouse community, with a large dog-walking area right in front. I also have two friendly small dogs who will keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, and the spare room offers a spacious area for them to relax and feel comfortable.
About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Retsil
I cannot recommend James enough! Our dog is anxious, reactive, and, lovingly, a bit of a meanie so trusting someone else to walk and care for her is a BIG deal for us. James has been incredibly patient, calm, dependable, and understanding of her quirks from day one. He never seemed intimidated or frustrated by her behavior and took the time to meet her where she was, learn her boundaries, and earn her trust at her own pace. Knowing she was with someone who could confidently handle her while still being gentle and respectful gave us so much peace of mind. If you have an anxious, reactive, or not-always-the-easiest dog, James is exactly the kind of person you want caring for them. We’re so grateful we found him and would trust him with our little menace any day!
I can't say enough good things about the care she provided for Ellie. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind on the days I had to be in the office. Ellie absolutely loved seeing her, and it was obvious from the beginning that she treated her as more than just another dog on her schedule. She was also great about keeping me updated and letting me know how the walks went, and I always knew Ellie was in good hands. I really appreciated the care, attention, and consistency she provided, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.
Ashley's commitment to her clients is stellar. And we really like her thoughtfulness in how she does things. For example, the one-on-one time she gives our pup on his walks is greatly appreciated not just by us, but by our boy too! We can see his excitement. And she's not squeamish when it comes to talking dog poop 💩, a key component to a dog's health especially when they are on the mend.
We so appreciate Jessica’s willingness to help our doggo whenever our primary walker is unavailable. We always come home to a happy tired dog. Most recently, Maude got to go for a run in the rain. Since I only tend to run if a bear is chasing me, I know Maude must have loved that extra treat!
Kat & Sean did a wonderful job with walking our dog, Jasmine. We would definitely use them again when the need to do so arises. They were very communicative and provided pictures and walk information. It was very thorough and made us feel very at ease. From meet & greet through the last needed walk all went well.
Brian is very patient and helpful with my two dogs, Snowy and Dutsch. Both dogs can be a little difficult on a walk, as they are working breeds without much training. Brian offered some tips and suggestions about using a gentle leader to avaoid pulling. He arrived on time and walked them for the full hour as promised.

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.
