About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!
About: Hi! I’m a part-time grad student living in Capitol Hill, and I have been surrounded by animals all of my life. I am also a volunteer in training at the Seattle Humane. I currently own two rescue dogs, one is a senior and one is a young adult with severe anxiety and reactivity issues who I have raised since he was a puppy. Needless to say, I have firsthand experience caring for dogs who require medication and need special care when it comes to walking in a busy city around other dogs! If you own a cat, I have also taken care of friend’s, coworker’s, and other cats through Rover! As long as they’re trained, I’ll be there to walk, feed, play with them, and pet them. Clear instructions are important for both me and you to ensure your pet’s in the best shape possible while you’re gone. I will also personally guarantee that I will send you cute pictures of your pet while you are away!! I am looking for work on the side, so I am fully available at the moment. I keep my calendar updated daily with any changes. My part-time grad school classes also do not begin until mid-September, and those are only at night. I live in a gated apartment with my dogs who prefer not living with other animals. Therefore, all my services are for outside of my house - I will housesit at your home, and provide walks in your area.
“Responded to a last-minute request and really helped me out. Levi was great with my dog, Argos, and made the whole experience stress-free. Communication was excellent; I felt confident that Argos was in good hands and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”

About: I am happiest when caring for and bonding with animals of all kinds. As a volunteer with both a local animal shelter and wildlife rehabilitation center I have had experience providing extensive and complex care for animals with all sorts of differing needs. Growing up with, and continuing to care for, animals of my own has taught me so much about providing care at every stage of life. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, small chicks, and bottle fed orphaned wildlife. I am very comfortable understanding and respecting the boundaries of more reactive animals and will tailor my care to your pets individual needs and personality. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pets care and prioritize safety and communication above all else! I have a flexible schedule and will work with you in order to provide the best care for your pet/s where and when you need it. Safety is my number one priority, and I believe wholeheartedly in always acting with care and honesty. The care I provide is informed by your advice and individual needs, and the most important thing to me is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet.
“Erin is conscientious and a true pet lover! She even sent pics of my kitty to me despite the fact that her services were for our dog. Erin is responsive, friendly, and a delight to work with !”

“Jaime was awesome with my dog, Oreo. Oreo is a people person and is super excited seeing people. She was so patient with him both times she took him out. Also we did a meet and greet before that and she had come prepared with some questions to learn more about Oreo which I found super impressive. I would definitely recommend her for your pups walks. I will be using her services again for sure. Oreo was super happy post his walks.”


About: I have experience caring for and training young pets, including helping reinforce routines, basic commands, and good behavior with patience and consistency. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means keeping an energetic puppy engaged or making sure a shy pet feels comfortable and safe. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always try to give them the care, attention, and love they need while their owners are away. I work EST hours and keep a consistent daily routine, which makes it easy for me to plan pet care into my schedule. Dogs naturally become a part of my routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just making sure they get attention and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine while in my care. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and always want them to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home.
“Brenda is an amazing dog walker! She’s super attentive and sweet towards my dog, and gave her plenty of exercise. Amazing communication and great Rover cards throughout the entire booking. Would definitely recommend for anyone who needs a great dog walker!”

“Im truly SO grateful for Ana (and I know my dog is too). She’s been walking my dog for the past week while I’ve been in training for my new job. She truly stands out from other dog walkers I’ve worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). She is incredibly reliable, communicative, kind, flexible, and hard working. I feel so good knowing she’s coming to get my girl every day! Also - huge bonus - the photos she sends of my dog are so STINKY CUTE!!!”

“Jen was able to walk my dog on relatively short notice and has helped so much in terms of relaying behaviors she has noticed my pup! I'll gladly continue to use her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dogwalker as someone who has worked in animal care for years.”

About: I may no longer have any pets of my own, so let me show yours some love! I was raised with several family dogs that I independently took care of as early as 6 years old. I excel in comforting older dogs and cats, as I cared for my own senior dogs through to the end of their lives. I have experience caring for all types of pets - including guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, snakes, turtles, and birds! I'm a recent graduate searching for full-time opportunities. In the meantime, my schedule is completely flexible, meaning I can make my whole day all about your pet! I know first-hand how stressful traveling can be on pets. I love getting to know a pet and their creature comforts before this stress presents - from their favorite spot to stop and sniff on a walk, to the most motivational treats, and even their bedtime.
“Hyeonyoung has been our dog walker for a few weeks now and we will continue to hire her to walk our dog! We can trust her and depend on her to walk the dog when we are at work. She took pictures during the walk. She is very nice and gentle to our dog. She even made cookies for our dog for Valentine’s Day! So sweet!”

“Ludo, who I adopted two months ago, has been adjusting and having some accidents. Bruce has been so communicative and has cleaned up his accidents even though I absolutely do not expect him to and have not asked him to. I cannot express how grateful and relieved I am to have him coming to walk Ludo while I am working. I know my special needs dog, who has seizures, is in great hands!!!!”

“Akiko has been a lifesaver! Toby loves to go out with the pack or solo and she captures all the good moments in photos so I can see my brave boy as he wanders around Seattle. She’s also been so helpful with other things as well. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Alex was great! Extremely professional, friendly and communicative. Sent me updates during the walk and after the walk as well. Toci was so excited to meet him and I could tell that she really enjoyed her time with him! I will definitely be reaching out to him again :)”

About: Hi! I'm Kailani! I’m a policy analyst living on Capitol Hill and would love to spend time with your pup. I absolutely love dogs, and miss having one of my own. I grew up with dogs, cared for lots of puppies, and have been dog sitting for many years. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I love to get out and adventure, and would love to bring your dog with! I can take your dog on walks/runs at a nearby park! I am very caring, patient, and responsible. I will give your dog lots of cuddles, exercise, and make sure your fur baby is having fun! I would love to get to know your pup, and will treat him/her like my own! I am available in the morning, for my lunch break, after work, and on weekends to watch your fur baby! I would love to take them for my daily walk or to the park. I keep a watchful eye on the dogs when I am caring for them and spend lots of time building up their trust in me so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ve worked with dogs that are really skittish due to prior owners neglect and always make sure they are in a safe environment and keep anything that might alarm them out of their environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Lake Union
Noah is lovely. I have an anxious/reactive puppers and Noah took the time to get to know us and learn about our training and management strategies. He is very responsive and let me know that he was arriving a couple minutes early. Gus came back from his walk happy and relaxed.

Red (Jeffrey) is great! He’s very kind and gentle with our old lady, Riley. He sends lots of pictures and updates. He was very thorough during our meet and greet. I feel comfortable leaving Riley in his care while we’re at work. I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will be booking him again very soon.

Ana really saved us with a last minute booking! She did an incredible job with our chaotic golden retriever puppy and was a true expert with her. She sent the most thoughtful pictures while I was at work and was so communicative. We'll absolutely be booking with her again- thank you so much Ana!

My dog was being a bit of a butt not wanting to walk, but Beetal spent time with her, gave her treats, and was responsive during and before the booking. She even left us a sweet note about how the day went. I would recommend Beetal to anyone else looking for responsible and kind pet care.
