About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors for years, which taught me how to read each dog's personality, follow different routines, and make every pup feel safe and comfortable. Today I have tow dogs of my own, so caring for them is part of my everyday life. My favorite part of the day is getting outside with dogs. Whether it's a relaxed stroll, a run for high-energy pups, or playtime at the park, I love helping dogs get their exercise and have fun. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I'm always happy to send updates and photos so you know they're having a great time. I work part-time, so I'm available on weekdays with flexible timing. I can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, whether that's mornings, midday, or afternoons. I'm happy to follow your instructions for entering your home and caring for your dog, and I'm always respectful of your space. I make sure leashes are secure on walks, check that doors are locked when I leave, and make sure that your pup has fresh water before I go.
About: Leave with confidence. Come home to a dog who’s been thoughtfully cared for and a clean, welcoming home. I look after the daily details so you can enjoy your time away, knowing your dog and your home are in experienced hands. I bring more than 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes across North America and Europe, backed by 54 five-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters. Families have trusted me with beloved companions and cherished homes, and I take pride in the lasting relationships we’ve built. I’m also Fear Free Certified and trained in Pet First Aid. For your dog, thoughtful care means familiar routines, patient companionship, and attention to their individual needs. My Fear Free approach focuses on reducing fear, anxiety, and stress by recognising body language, respecting their comfort, and letting trust develop at their pace. From play sessions and enriching walks to gentle support for senior dogs, I tailor my care to your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. For your home, it means treating your space, belongings, and privacy with respect. I’m meticulous about tidying up after myself, following plant-care instructions, and attending to the household details we agree on. My approach is “leave no trace”: returning your home as clean and orderly as I found it, ready for you to settle back in as if you’d never left. That peace of mind starts before you leave. During our meet and greet, we’ll talk through your dog’s habits and needs, home instructions, emergency contacts, and your expectations for the stay. We’ll agree on arrival and departure times and how you’d like to receive updates. While you’re away, you can expect thoughtful messages and photos that show how your dog is doing, along with prompt communication if anything needs your attention. I’d love to hear about your dog, your home, and what an ideal sitting experience would look like for you. Please note: I have a severe cat allergy and can only care for dogs in homes where cats do not live. Please let me know if cats have previously lived in or occasionally visit your home before we arrange a meet and greet. I work remotely as a consultant, which allows me to spend much of the day at home with the dogs in my care. That means regular companionship, time for walks and bathroom breaks, and a familiar presence between activities. I plan each stay around your dog’s established routines, balancing my work with their meals, exercise, rest, and attention. Before confirming a booking, we’ll discuss how long they’re comfortable being alone and any needs that require closer supervision, so we can make sure my schedule is a good fit. We’ll also coordinate arrival and departure times for a thoughtful handover. Whether you’re away for a weekend or several weeks, my aim is to provide a steady, reassuring rhythm for your dog and peace of mind for you. I care for dogs in their own homes, surrounded by familiar scents, favourite resting spots, and the routines they know. As a Fear Free Certified sitter trained in Pet First Aid, I pay attention to both physical safety and emotional comfort. Before you leave, we’ll review your dog’s care instructions, walking equipment, household boundaries, veterinary contacts, and emergency arrangements. I’m careful with doors and gates, follow your handling instructions, and give dogs space from unfamiliar animals on walks. I respect their body language and let affection and trust develop at their pace. You’ll receive thoughtful photo updates and prompt communication about anything concerning. I treat your home, keys, belongings, and privacy with care, follow agreed plant and household instructions, and leave the spaces I use clean and orderly. My goal is for you to feel comfortable handing over the keys—and happy when you come home.
About: I love animals of all walks of life and personally own two large dogs and two cats. I have also volunteered 500+ combined hours between a horse rescue called the Equine Project and the Tacoma and Auburn Valley Humane Societies. I can take dogs on short or long walks, runs, and hikes, can handle all sizes and ages of animal, and know how to and am able to groom, pet sit, and train for a negotiable additional cost. I recently graduated from Pacific Lutheran University earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and am currently working remotely. I love working with animals and because of my flexible working conditions I am able to stay with the animals I’m caring for full-time. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fluffy companion. I am currently continuing my education online and working remotely, so I have complete flexibility in my schedule! I love animals and have been working as a pet sitter for years and love this work. I try to maintain the routine that an animal normally has as much as I can. I like to meet an animal where they’re at, if they have a lot of energy I’ll provide enrichment, walks, and engage with them often, if they’re lower energy we’ll hang out and I’ll provide as much snuggling as they’re interested in!
About: I'm incredibly detail-oriented and used to managing everything from high-energy "zoomies" to meticulous grooming needs. I’d love to give your dog the exact level of care, structure, and affection they deserve while you're away. Hi, I'm passionate about providing a safe, active, and reliable home-away-from-home for your furry family members. I thrive on routine, and I ensure that the dogs in my care enjoy a balanced mix of structured downtime, high-energy play, and plenty of affection. Because I maintain a consistent Monday–Friday work schedule, your pup will enjoy a peaceful, predictable daytime environment, followed by a fantastic afternoon adventure. The very second I get home at 4:00 PM, it’s all about the dogs—we head straight to the park for a favorite game of fetch and a refreshing, long walk to burn off energy and explore. When the weekend hits, the schedule opens up completely! Saturdays and Sundays are entirely dedicated to my canine guests, meaning they get my absolute, undivided attention, extra long adventures, and all the belly rubs they could ask for. Leaving your pet and your home in someone else's hands takes a lot of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When I watch your pet in their own environment, my top priorities are maintaining their established routine and keeping your home secure.
“Working with Leslie was a great experience! She was super easy to communicate with and great with my crazy Siberian Husky. It was easy to tell she had lots of experience with dogs of all types. I will be definitely be working with Leslie again 10/10 would recommend!”
“Rissy was great! She was super professional and so good with my girls. Arrived on time and instantly my girls loved her. Rissy played with them and they loved there walk. Would book again!!! Thank you!”
“Justin was an incredibly reliable walker for our sweet Milli girl. He made sure to meet her beforehand, was very communicative throughout the duration of our booking, and never went even slightly under the 30 minutes we booked (often going a bit over). We will definitely book Justin again, and recommend him highly to others looking for dog walking services.”
“I was away on a work trip and needed someone to walk my husky throughout the week. Katelyn was patient with our crazy husky who likes to pull on the leash. She is great at communicating and was super easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have experience with puppies and young adult animals. I raised a Labrador for about a year and I fell in love with being a pet parent. I’d love to have the opportunity to care for yours! For the next 2 weeks, I am available in the mornings Monday through Thursday and in the evenings Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please message me if more details are needed! I can crate your dog if that’s what he/she prefers. I do not have a yard but I do prioritize lots of walks and play time outside!
About: A travel nurse who is looking for a reason to be surrounded by cute animals & go on walks! I’ve had animals my whole life (dogs & cats) and I’m excited to take care of your furry baby/babies & pamper them with love I work a flexible schedule 3 times a week so i have a pretty open schedule to play and take care of your furry babies! When you live with animals your whole life (which I have), you develop a sixth sense. You’re more aware of your surroundings when your furry baby is around, you don’t leave scattered items around the home that could be hazardous…etc. my goal is to provide a safe environment for them and gain their trust
About: I grew up on a livestock farm and have always been surrounded by animals! Living on a farm, I have experience taking care of various animals, giving medication, and cleaning up after them. I have experience pet sitting small and large dogs, cats, and small pets. I also have housesitting experience for various sized homes. Recently moved to Seattle and will be working as a physical therapist in the Queen Anne neighborhood. I live in Belltown and have a car. I can devote my mornings and evenings to your pets, as well as weekends. I love spending my time with animals! It is something that I miss about living on the farm, so when given the opportunity, I will spend as much time as I can with a pet.
“Logan is a wonderful pet lover! He takes really sweet care of my pup with special needs and communicates frequently and well! So glad we found him and my dog adores having a visit from Logan!”
“Lincoln’s dog walking needs changed several times while I was out of the country as I had friends helping with his care, and Brent was about to shift his walking schedule as needing quite easily. Always super easy to work with Brent!”
About: I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my childhood dog from her being a puppy to her twilight years. I have familiarity with the general caregiving tasks and engaging time someone can have with pets, but also pay deliberate attention to detail that owners can give for how to best take care of them. I am currently working on building up my work schedule with clients, so while that’s going on my availability might decrease as time passes. At the moment of starting though, I have a great deal of free time to extend to others. I’m used to monitoring and engaging with pets to a great degree, so that even when I’m not playing with them I have a mindset of monitoring behavior and noticing if there’s anything different in their environment that could cause issue. If they’re resting/sleeping I’m keen on keeping an eye on them periodically to see if they’re alright.

Writing Hannah has been helping with Dilly’s walks for about a week now. She’s punctual, communicates well, and has been reliable. Dilly seems to be enjoying his walks, and I appreciate having someone I can count on to take him out! Already booked her for next week and highly recommend.
Ariana did an amazing job with my very anxious GSD Yuki! From the get go my pup felt comfortable around her, which rarely happens because Yuki can be scared meeting new people in the beginning, but Ariana's calming presence made her feel at ease. Can definitely attest to her skills of being able to make your dogs feel comfortable and safe. Will 100% be booking again!

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 Seattle. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
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.
