“Sheena was very kind and communicative. From the pictures and videos of their walks and playtime, my dog definitely enjoyed their time together. We will be reaching out to her for future needs and highly recommend her.”
“Kelli is awesome! So sweet and caring and she also agreed to do and meet and greet which i appreciate. She was super patient with my dog even though he made a mess. She is very kind and cleaned up after his mess today. She sent many photos while on her visit and Sig loved her.”
“Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I've helped rescue nine cats and raised seven from kittens to adulthood, which has given me extensive experience with feline care and behavior. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and building a bond with them through play, attention, and consistent care. In addition to cats, I regularly help care for my family's dog through walks, playtime, and daily care. I also have experience raising and caring for ducks, which has taught me the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each animal's needs. While cats are where most of my experience lies, I'm excited to work with dogs and other animals as well. I'm reliable, attentive to detailed care instructions, and dedicated to making sure pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, exercise, or specialized care, I'll treat them with the same patience and attention I give my own animals. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'll have almost unlimited free time to play and care for your pets! I also don't mind weird hours, day or night. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any other care requirements provided by the owner. I like to be extra attentive and keep a close eye on pets because their safety and comfort are my top priorities. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while you're away, helping them feel happy and secure in their familiar environment.

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.
“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”
“Helena has been our steadfast furry friend walker for years and she has been fabulous! Communicative, flexible, kind and more. Helena comes highly recommended by my family!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, house birds, falcons, rodents, fish, chickens, ducks, and plenty of other animals since I was a child and have helped care for both young and senior pets I’m currently unemployed searching for jobs, so my routine is really flexible, only needing to set aside time for job interviews and family. I currently have the ability for extended house/pet sitting needs. I do not have the ability for boarding animals currently, however with the services I currently offer I am gentle and respectful of all animals, their owners, and the owners property.
“She was awesome! She was absolutely fantastic with Kai. She took pictures of him on every walk. He was very excited to see her every time. We had to change the schedule for walking at the last minute but she was very accommodating. She was also excellent at communicating, responding promptly to my messages. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I’m here to serve you and your beloved pets with reliable care, giving you true peace of mind while you’re away! I do more than just feed and potty break — I make sure your pets receive quality social time and personalized care. I have experience caring for many types of dogs and cats, including elderly, anxious, and those with special-needs or requiring medication. I also completed certification through Mud Bay (pet food company), having been trained in dog and cat behavior, nutrition, and pet wellness. My goal is to provide dependable service you can trust and a calm, loving experience for your pets while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I am petsitting full time now! I understand the stress of having to leave your pets behind when traveling, so I do my best to follow requests around times and routines. There are times where I am caring for more than one pet client, but I will communicate that with you before booking if it applies. I generally do not take clients that require potty breaks/visits less than 4 hours apart, though often I am in the home full time. I typically watch animals in the owners home. I am happy to walk, exercise, and play as needed or requested. Often stay overnight, and follow the directions left by owners.
“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.”
“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!”
“Cayeln is absolutely amazing! I love her creativity to ask me where she wanted to walk Darla. Darla aay a squirrel and took off to chase the squirrel with such force the leash snapped. The great thing is she waa able to run her down and get Darla back with her. Darla loves Cayeln! She has such a wonderful spirit about herself and I love the trust that my dog has with Cayeln! I'm going to book her once a week for the next 3 months!”
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: 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.

Sophie is such a natural --at caring for dogs as well as people. When I had a sudden death in my family, she stepped up to cover every day I needed, with kind words, extra help and collaboration when we required it. She is now close friends with my poodle, and a warm, reliable friend to me. My dog learns everyday from Sophia!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in South Bay.

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:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
