About: I have over 10 years of professional animal care and veterinary experience, where I’ve tended to pets with all variations of personality and maintenance. While working as a lead at an animal boarding facility I gained many skills to support animals while stressed and away from their families. Every pet is treated like my own, and I earn their trust by respecting boundaries and accommodating every animal’s personal needs. I am an excellent nail trimmer/bather for cats and dogs who allow me to do so, and am able to pill most pets if needed. My life is centered around pet care, so the rest of my schedule shapes to that routine. The animals in my care come first before other engagements or plans. All items that could cause sensitivities in pets are kept clear of their reach, windows and doors stay closed to prevent walkabouts, animals remain leashed and under direct observation when outside. When several pets are together they are never left without supervision. I administer flea/tick treatment, bathe, trim nails, clean ears, and brush teeth for my personal pets on a schedule. Prescriptions are administered accurately, and individual food needs are met, such as allergies and prescription diets.
“Liza is great! Most importantly, our Abby loves her and Liza likes Abby an awful lot, too. Liza is reliable, responsive to questions and keeps me informed. She has been so kind during a family member’s serious health problems. Because they were hospitalized unexpectedly, there was and the uncertainty of how long the overnights booking would last since it was dependent on how things went after surgery.”
“Emma is professional, a great communicator and very reliable. She works with my quirky dog and seems to enjoy his company. I am recovering from knee surgery and her daily walks are a godsend. I highly recommend her.”
“Alex is Great! My dog is so excited when I juat tell him she's coming! My dog ia aggressive towards other dogs and shes very carefully and lots of experience with dogs. Highly reccomend!”
About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.
“Lauren and Dalton were amazing They came over for a meet and greet before using them to walk our dog. You could tell they love dogs. They were easy to communicate with and got back to me very quickly when I messaged them I appreciated that they sent updates and pictures of our pup.”
About: Had dogs my entire life. Lost my last one a few months ago. Have fenced in yard for them to run. And plenty of toys. I’m retired so I have nothing but time to watch your pet. I walk every day would love to have your dog along for the walk. I have a fenced in yard , and a.good sized back yard with squirrels that need to be chased. Your pet will be welcome in our home.
“Erika and Maxwell are just the best! They were so sweet to our two dogs during the meet and greet, so we knew it was going to be a great fit. Our dogs can be a lot to walk because they are big and prey driven, but Maxwell and Erika were up to the challenge. We came back home to two very tired and happy girls. So happy we found them and hope we can book more walks and sits with them in the future!”
About: Of my 10 years of pet care experience, 8 of those years includes veterinary medicine. I love all different kinds of animals, and am good with all types of personalities, fear levels, and temperaments. I can also administer medications and care for pets with special needs. My other work is freelance, so my schedule is usually open and flexible. Overnight stays are easy for me to configure, and I'm able to prioritize your pets in my schedule. My main priority is the pets safety and happiness. I have experience de-escalating anxiety, redirecting aggression, and navigating tension between pets. I always double leash dogs for walks and I am experienced with all varieties of leash, walk, and play based behavior.
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I also have personal experience caring for a dog with allergies, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, avoiding known triggers, and paying attention to changes in a dog’s skin or behavior. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention just like I would my own dog, Korona. 🐾 I’m retired from the military, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for play and relaxation. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re away.
About: I have extensive experience with equines, dogs, cats, fish, and most reptiles. Family, friends, and strangers have trusted me to care for their animals, both with drop in visits and house/pet sitting. I currently work part time Monday-Thursday but my schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to fit the needs of your household. I am punctual and have reliable transportation. I am great at communication and can often accept requests with little notice! I am very confident with my animal care and handling. I grew up around all sorts of animals and have always helped others with their pets. I will always put pet safety first and make sure your pets are happy and healthy!
About: We are an active dog loving family in Olympia. We love to get out to Capital Forest on the weekend or run or walk to our local parks. We work from home most days and otherwise work close to home. We work full-time from home 3 days per week and venture into the office a short distance 2 days per week. Our early morning feed and walk routine makes us ideal for hosting your pet at our place or for making a morning visit to care for your dog. We have a fenced front and back yard. The fence is high (6ft). We offer a quiet environment with much dog lounging to be had as well as playtime outside or in. Our wooded side lot offers many birds, sounds and smells for dogs to enjoy.
About: When I was growing up my mom started an exotic animal rescue, caring for all of the animals that the shelter would not take. That started my early journey with pet care. I have been doing housesitting both on and off Rover for about six years now. In recent years was full time living on an animal sanctuary taking care of 8 black cats and 10 goats. I have taken care of so many different animals in my life!! I am currently working part time four days a week and my shifts are no longer than 5-6 hours. The time I go in to work varies but I would never get out later than 5:30pm. Right now I am working weekdays, but that could change. I will provide in-home care for your fur baby and attend to their usual schedule. I can stay at the house while you are away on a trip so they don't have to change their environment. I will provide them with company, meals, medication (if needed), playtime and walks.
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience in doggy daycare, kennel care, boarding, animal handling, and maintaining clean, safe environments for animals. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and behaviors. Through my professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and understanding animal body language. I’m especially interested in dog behavior and training, and I enjoy building trust with animals at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or has a personality all their own, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets and respecting your home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and follow your care instructions closely. I love working with all kinds of animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and individualized care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or otherwise wonderful family members! 🐸🐱🐰🐶🐠❤️ My day-to-day routine includes caring for animals, keeping their environments clean and comfortable, and making sure their individual needs are met. I enjoy staying active, learning about animal behavior, and providing pets with attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. When caring for your pets, I prioritize following their normal routines, including walks, feeding schedules as instructed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort levels and strive to provide consistent, reliable care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing. I stick to schedules and routines, I believe being a great pet sitter means more than just providing food, walks, and playtime. It means being patient, attentive, dependable, and understanding how to make each animal feel secure and respected. My experience has taught me the importance of recognizing animal body language, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and adjusting my approach to each pet’s comfort level. When you trust me with your pets, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving thoughtful, personalized care. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, checking in on your pets while you’re away, or staying in your home to keep them company, my goal is to treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on!
“Stephanie was outstanding as usual!! We recently moved and she was still willing to travel to help with our pup. She is wonderful with him and he loves her! We appreciate Stephanie so much!!”
About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in South Bay is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,646 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Bay. 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 South Bay. 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 a map of the walking route, 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 South Bay 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 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 South Bay. On Rover:
- 91% 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 Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
