Dog Walking Riverview

“Billy does such a great job with our doggo. She’s so excited to see him and even though she’s a senior dog, it sounds like she lights up and is glad to get outside and sniff. We really appreciate his daily notes & pictures so we know how she did.”

Nicole T.

“My pups had a better time with Karen than they do with our family, for SURE! She is great and communicating, letting us know what the walk was like, sending pictures. 100% would book again, and highly HIGHLY recommend. Also, very covid aware and safe!”

About: Hi! I’ve had my cat for 8 years and cared for large dogs, cats, kittens, and aquatic pets. My tuxedo is a big baby at 15 pounds. She wants what she wants and I am here to provide cuddles and space as desired. I’ve fostered large dogs and kittens. I’ve had aquariums with fish, shrimp, aquatic frogs, and my axolotl. If you have other pets that need care let’s chat! I’ll take care your pets so they know that someone is there for them. Whether that be through walks, play, or just sitting with them across the room (cats know). I'm currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. I try to make recurring visits at the same time of day so your pet can have a routine while you're away. I like to meet pets where they're at whether that be immediate play and snuggles or a slower build up. I've cared for various personalities with my own pets and fosters. I've worked with shy fosters to go from hiding in a corner to sleeping on my bed and asking for snuggles. I'll make sure your pets have what they need and then see what they want to do.

About: I’m an animal lover who has been taking care of and walking dogs for most of my life. I recently became a cat lover too! Learning the unique personality of animals brings me so much joy, and providing them with love and affection in the way they specifically like to receive it is one of my gifts. My day job is remote so I have the flexibility to care for animals through my day and work from alternate locations when needed. Before I moved to Seattle, I cared for my mom’s senior toy poodle, Coco, 3 days per week. Coco (who is more baby than dog and absolutely loves being held) developed some special needs and particularities as she aged so I was happy I could be there to take extra special care of her. I tend to do very well with senior dogs though I enjoy and love animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and dispositions. My boyfriend has an 11 year old shepherd mix named Jax (pictured in my profile) who is very hesitant around new people. I finally won him over with my enthusiasm for his daily walks and the consistency with which we’d go together. Now we are best buddies and he even wags his tail when he sees me or when I tell him how handsome he is. My approach is different with each animal I meet, and I focus on providing them the love and care they specifically require. I work remotely from 6am to 2pm PST. I am available from 2pm to 5pm during the week for walks. I can also step away during my work day for about 30 minutes at a time as long as your home is close by. I treat my clients homes as if they were my own and will always leave your space better than I found it. I am attentive and reliable and I will follow any special instructions you may have about your home or your animal.

“I am new Rover user and Katie has been a godsend. She house sat/watched my pup when I was in Hawaii for a bit and did a great job. She's very good at providing details about the day and sending pictures of Biscotti. She also helped me out last minute when I ran up to Bellingham to see a friend. She rules. You should book her.”

“We love Melanie! Our Rowdy got so excited even when she first arrived! He had the best day and was so worn out after the walk! And all ready for cuddles! Can’t wait to have her come again! In 2 days! Thank you Melanie!”

Tracy M.

“Ellie was wonderful with our Nova!! Can’t wait to have her back.”

Stephanie C.

“Emily is so kind and thoughtful. She always takes breaks and brings water with her on hot days. She is very easy to coordinate with and our dog always comes back happy and tired from a walk! 10/10 would recommend to any dog parents.”

About: Hi, I’m Rachel! A dog-loving, hybrid worker who needs to go outside more! My husband and I would love to watch your dog! We have a dog named Jane that loves dogs of any size and loves the company! I would love to take your dog for a walk during my breaks or stop by and make sure they are doing well if you need drop in visits! I grew up with dogs my entire life and absolutely love them. My husband and I adopted our dog 3 years ago and can bring her along if you would like (she loves other dogs), but can also do solo walks as well! Excited to meet your pups! I work hybrid (two days in the office, three days at home). When I work from home, I can take breaks and take walks or stop by for drop-ins! In my care, I will listen to your pets needs. I go on walks called “sniff-aris” with my dog where I just let her take the lead and go where she wants to go and sniff away. And I can do that with your dog as well! Sniffing relieves anxiety!

About: I have a vast background working with animals in animal shelters, and animal control, as well as working as a zoo keeper and in wildlife conservation. I’ve always had pets at home, taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, rodents, and many more. I am very compassionate and treat every animal with the same love and care.💚 I am currently working a full time job (9-5, M-F) but I have flexible schedule. I can provide care mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate last minute bookings and consistent care needs when I’m available. My background working with rescues has refined my skills in caring for scared and anxious animals, so I focus on a calm, reassuring approach that helps them feel safe. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are always my top priorities, and I follow their routines closely to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I create an environment where pets can relax and trust me fully, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet feels at home, even when you’re away.

“Amanda filled in last minute! Rowdy fell in love with her at the meet n greet and he was so excited when she showed up again for his walk! We feel so lucky that we found Amanda! She’s fabulous!”

“Skippy has been great with my 90lb hound, Sydney! He walks her once a week and is consistent and reliable. I know she’s safe and happy when she’s out walking with Skippy!”

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 7 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night. I do host up to 3 dogs at a time and have a small pup of my own, so I ask that your dog is well socialized.

About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats of all kinds throughout my life, ranging from Maltese and St. Bernards to Maine Coons! Neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to look after their pets with genuine care and responsibility. I would be delighted to provide a helping hand by checking in on your pets or taking them for a walk. I am a full time student at the University of Washington Seattle. My schedule fluctuates by the quarter, yet I am very flexible by the day. I am respectful toward each pet owner's rituals and routines when caring for their pet. I value communication and trust between myself and client. I am responsible and loving toward all animals.

About: I've grown up around dogs, and look after neighbors' dogs as well! I love spending time with dogs and I can give them the care and attention they deserve. I want to give your dogs all the time they need, and create a safe environment! I really enjoy learning about each pet's unique personality. I also like to run, so if your dog has a little extra energy and would benefit from a jog/run, I would be thrilled to do so. I just recently graduated and currently figuring things out. I have a very flexible schedule, and I'm able to fit in time for your animals whenever needed. I am very respectful of different pets needs and wants, and I can easily adapt depending on the animal. I follow instructions to the letter, and have a great eye for detail and safety.

About: Reliable, punctual, and highly experienced caregiver with over 4 years of pet sitting, house sitting, and dog-walking experience. I’ve had pets for 25+ years. I have a perfect track record of safe, happy dog walks! I’ve taken care of 4 dogs consistently and also have two beloved cats of my own and take immense pride in keeping their lives as awesome as possible. I figured it was time to branch out. I can't wait to bring that same love and dedication to your fur babies! Because I currently have a completely open schedule (fun-employment), your fur babies are my absolute top priority! I have 100% open availability (unless booked ahead of time) and a deep love for all animals. Aside from dropping in on my own two cats, your felines will be my main focus and responsibility. What my flexible schedule means for you:No Rushed Visits: I don't have to rush off to a 9-to-5, so I can take my time giving your cats the exact attention, playtime, and care they need. Highly Reliable: I can accommodate strict feeding windows or specific medication schedules effortlessly. Peace of Mind: You get frequent photo updates and a sitter who is fully present and attentive.I am ready to adapt to whatever schedule makes your cat feel safest and happiest! I am completely obsessed with providing a safe, clean, and 100% "cat-approved" environment. Before adopting my two cats (following the loss of my beloved dog), I spent weeks researching modern feline care to ensure they would have the best life possible. My Cat Care Philosophy:Building Trusting Bonds: I understand feline body language. I specialize in hanging out in the same room without pressuring shy cats, letting them approach and gain trust at their own pace. Structured Play & Routine: We have dedicated daily playtime to keep them stimulated and happy. The "Dank Dinner" Routine: My cats have access to dry food throughout the day, but every single night is celebrated with their favorite wet food "dank dinner!" Elite Litter Box Hygiene: I take immense pride in a home that never smells like cats. I scoop litter 1-2x daily, use pine pellets, and entirely deep-clean boxes with enzyme cleaner weekly. My own home has officially been overrun by cat trees and toys—and I wouldn't have it any other way! I promise to bring this exact same level of hyper-attentive, spoiled care, and safety to your fur babies.

About: My love for animals isn't just professional—it's personal. As a devoted pet owner, I understand the joys and challenges of caring for pets. My own pets have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of being attentive to their needs. This personal experience has shaped my approach to pet sitting, ensuring that I care for every pet as if they were my own. It's this deep love and understanding that allows me to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic needs, nurturing their emotional and physical health with genuine compassion. I have experience caring for various animals, including dogs, cats, and small pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I've managed everything from daily feeding routines and administering medication to providing exercise and playtime that keeps pets mentally and physically stimulated. Beyond the basic tasks, I take pride in giving each pet the affection and companionship they crave while their owners are away. This not only keeps the pets happy and relaxed but also gives pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving hands. In addition to basic care, I also have a certificate in small animal massage, which can be incredibly beneficial for pets' overall well-being. Using gentle, calming techniques, I help ease muscle tension, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation. This added touch enhances the pets' physical health and strengthens the bond of trust and affection. Knowing their furry family members are in loving, skilled hands I hope gives pet parents peace of mind while they're away. After dedicating time as a stay-at-home mom, I am excited to pursue my passion for animals by becoming a pet sitter. I am eager to bring my love for animals and my caregiving experience of my own pets into a new role, ensuring pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is to maintain their routine and environment as closely as possible, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I will make sure to follow the owner’s instructions precisely, maintaining consistency to minimize any stress or anxiety for the pets and their owners. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to keep pets engaged and happy. Whether it’s interactive play for energetic pets or quiet companionship for more reserved animals, I tailor my approach to each client's and pet’s personality and preferences. Additionally, I keep the client’s home clean and organized, respecting their space and maintaining a secure environment. Regular updates, including photos and messages, are shared with the pet owner to provide peace of mind. My goal is to offer loving, reliable care so pets feel at ease and pet parents can be confident their furry family members are in good hands.

“Sophia is fabulous and flexible which is super helpful when things come up! She was able to gauge my dog’s needs with the heat wave and alter their walks to accommodate for his needs!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy learning their personalities and quirks! I think that’s what makes each job different and fun! I’ve grown up around lots of animals and love getting to know them! I currently don’t have any other jobs that I do, I want to devote my full time to loving and caring for your pets! 😊 I’m comfortable with it whatever you are! It’s a big deal to let someone into your home and trust them with your pets, and hopefully I will be one of those people for you! 😊

“Super helpful and flexible. Was able to help out last minute for us. Our dogs loved Dante!”
