“Emma is awesome. As I recover from surgery, she adapts her schedule, the route and my picky, opinionated dog’s quirks. I’ve been very pleased with her and my pup gets some exercise every day!”

About: I am very good at sticking to routines, I make sure to double check all the steps and be extra careful around dogs and what they might need. I am currently going to college and will be available every weekday in the morning and afternoons. I am also available weekends in the afternoon and evenings. I try to make them as comfortable as possible with the least amount of stress, and while I don't spoil them (unless the owner says to do so) I do treat them with an abundance of love and care!

“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”

About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.

About: I have had dogs, large and small, young and old since childhood and was the neighborhood pet sitter growing up. I'm a proud German Shepherd mama who would love to add a short term or extended stay buddy for Miss Ziva. Now that I work from home full time, my pupper needs a friend! We'd love to meet your fur baby. Don't let my baby's size fool you, she's a huge lover. I would prefer my home but can make arrangements to come to you! My dog is a free range dog in the house, but can adapt to changes depending on our guest. Definitely will respect your fur babies routine. We do have a dog park at my complex and would accommodate any anxiety issues. My 15 year old would give your baby extra attention as she is a regular Nana Nurse.

About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve often been called an “animal whisperer” because animals seem to naturally feel comfortable, safe, and understood around me. I truly believe every animal has a sweet soul and deserves patience, tender love, care, and understanding. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply loves to cuddle, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. When your fur baby is with me, they’re treated like family. I’m attentive to their routines, affectionate with them, and committed to giving them the same love and care I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I have open availability and am excited to dedicate my time, attention, and love to your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’m constantly caring for my own two pups—a Pitbull and an XL Bully—so giving dogs plenty of love, attention, exercise, and TLC is already a big part of my everyday life. Aside from caring for my own dogs, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing me to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, keeping up with their routine, or simply giving them some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m eager to share that same TLC with your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐈‍⬛💕 Your pet’s safety is my top priority while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide attentive, hands-on supervision and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, triggers, and individual needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could affect their safety and comfort. I also believe communication is an important part of quality pet care. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for from the moment they’re in my care until they’re back home with you. 🐶🐱💕

About: Hi. I know it can be a bit scary allowing someone in your home to care for your 4 legged baby. I am a very trustworthy, responsible individual. I have just moved to Washington State. I have happily been pet sitting for over 20 years. I've cared for animals of all ages and special needs. I am also comfortable administering medication by pill or injection. I listen closely to what the pet owners are looking for so that I will meet the needs of their precious pet. I understand how important good communication is with owners especially during vacation care so daily notes or messages are done. Animals bring me so much joy so I feel very lucky to spend my days doing what I love. Pet sitting is my full time job so I'm available for daily dog walks, occasional walks, playtime, vacation care and drop ins. I try to be a flexible as possible to meet your needs. Your home will always be treated with respect. I pay attention to detail therefore if you have a dog they will be kept safe on walks and if you have a cat they will be safe and secure in your home upon arrival and departure. No matter what kind of pet you have they will be handled with great love and care.

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy rescues, and farm animals.

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins.

I carefully follow all instructions, routines, and feeding schedules, keep doors and gates secured, and maintain a clean, organized space.

About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.

About: For several years I cat and dog sat for my cousins while they were on vacation, and I occasionally care for my friend’s 3 legged pitbull. For my last job I was I walking a wire haired pointing griffin twice a week. I did this for about 3 and a half years. I myself have a chihuahua and have had cats throughout my life:) Whether it’s all day or just a drop in, I can be flexible depending on what kind of care you’re looking for. We can work together to find a schedule that works for both of us:) Caring for your pet in your home is a level of trust I don’t take lightly, so I want to respect your space and how you use it. Your pet's comfortability and safety is the first priority so having them in a space that they already know can be all the more helpful.

She responded very promptly and was polite and flexible. Our dog was very happy after the walk and we are very excited to keep working with Ashley.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and other animals, including caring for multiple pets at once. I’ve walked and exercised dogs, helped with basic training, and cared for pets with different personalities and routines. I currently have my own two kitties who are extremely spoiled! I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal I care for. I understand that every pet has their own needs, habits, and comfort level, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my work schedule, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to communicate about specific schedules and make sure I can provide your pet with the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m respectful of your home and will carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll keep you updated during visits and am happy to send photos so you know how your furry family member is doing. I take trust seriously and want every pet parent to feel completely comfortable while they’re away.

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals.

About: I'm a country boy originally from TX. I've worked with and around animals for my whole life. I have over two decades of pet walking and pet sitting experience (shoot, I'll even water your plants!) When pet sitting I make sure to respect all the rules my animal pal's human tells me about. I encourage educational play and can handle high-energy animals just as well as the couch potato pets. I ensure feeding schedules and strict diets are on-paw (on point lol). On walks, I encourage good leash behavior and can work on reducing unwanted behaviors, like pulling, and leash aggression. I am prepared for emergency situations as well. Prevention is key, but sometimes accidents happen and my connection with multiple vets in town can ensure prompt service. I love animals because just as each human has their own personality so does each furry friend. Im here to help you and your pet pals when you're in a pickle! I work a flexible remote job and can mobile in short notice. I care for my dog, so if house sitting will need to make occasional trips home to attend to him (dont worry my roommate keeps him company when I'm out). I am available on weekends and after 5pm week days for walks, and can house sit any day of the week as long as I can connect to wifi. I have an aging dog pal and we have been through a lot of experiences together. He didnt have the best health when I adopted him, so I had to keep with him on a strict diet and medication schedule. I treat both my clients house and four-pawed friends with the same gentle care that I show Jaxson, my dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 2,102 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Skookumchuck. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Skookumchuck. 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.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Skookumchuck after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , 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 .

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
