Eliana was available on short notice to do my dog’s evening walk and feeding. She responded to my inquiry positively within a few minutes, and provided my pup the perfect walk. I recommend her fully for her conscientiousness and willingness to help.

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!!!!

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!

About: I have been happily petsitting for ten years. I love and appreciate animals of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I am good at directing dogs on a leash with patience using the start-stop method if need be. I meet dogs where they're at by coming into their acquaintance with open body language and a ready-to-be-sniffed attitude. It is my absolute pleasure to connect with and care for animals. I am regularly available and flexible for boardings, sittings, day-care, and meet & greets during most all times of the day including evenings, weekends, and holidays. I am currently petsitting full-time! When boarding, I like to have 1-2 animals staying with me at a time. I also take the dogs I am sitting or boarding on other dog walks around the city, so your pup is guaranteed plentiful exercise should they need it. I am happy to discuss options if your pet needs to be alone. I keep my home pet-ready! I have an XL dog bed, a litter box, and food/water bowls. I also have my own leashes that I am most comfortable using to keep dogs safe. And rest assured, I am well-trained to not leave food on counters.

Getting the regular updates and adorable pictures from Veronique after walks really helps put our minds at ease when we have to leave our pup during the work day.

About: I have been staying with dogs ever since I was born. I have my own dog now - a bernedoodle named Sesame. I have lots of patience when staying with dogs and love to train them as my side job. I work from home so I have plenty of time to staying with your pets and flexible schedules. I am available for holidays and weekends. I have a dog park just across the street. Within less than a minute they will be able to have fun. Pets will have plenty of spaces since we live in a two floor apartments with soft carpets and clean house.

About: I grew up with cats in my house, and have spent time working as a pet sitter for neighbors and friends. I also have over 5 years of professional experience as a veterinary assistant and volunteer animal shelter caretaker, during which I gained a wealth of knowledge on providing care for cats & dogs. I am very comfortable caring for pets with special needs or medical issues or who are in recovery from illness/injury/surgery, and with administering medications, including injectables. I am most available on weekends and evenings, but also have have some flexibility/availability during weekedays. I am happy to chat about how I can best accommodate your needs! I live in a small apartment with my two cats so I currently am not able to host pet guests in my home, but I am excited to coordinate and plan visits with your pets in their own home. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions! I love spending time with animals, and will care for your fur babies like my own. I will always do my absolute best to make sure they are as happy as possible while you are away, and will always have their safety and comfort as my top priority. I am happy to discuss any needs or preferences your pet(s) may have, and what I can do to provide better care for them as individuals.

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.

About: Hello! My name is Nassrin Aliabadi, and I am a recent college graduate ready to take on this world! I am an energetic, fun loving, caring person that is always ready to help at any time. My love and care for animals has been a building block of who I am since I was little. Throughout 3 years, I cared for a lot of pets from friends, family, and my own furry friends. I have taken care of up to two animals at the same time. I am very good at giving medicine to sick animals and following needed strict directions. My recent experience was with two super sweet cats that were diabetic. I took care of them for two weeks, going to the families house twice a day to give them food, medicine, and to make sure they were okay. I would also spend an hour extra being with them so they both didn’t feel alone. My goal as a sitter is to make sure the family and the dog or cat is happy and healthy. Feel free to contact me at anytime!

We just finished our first week of having Elise walk our dog Ruby 3 times a week. Elise has been great! Clear communication and prompt arrival. She asked his questions at our meet and greet to get to know Ruby. And has been easy to work with as we adjust to both our schedules weekly. She brings home a pup ready to chill. Looking forward to more!

If you’re searching for a South Lake Union dog walker for the first time, visit the dog walker’s profile and select the Contact button.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in South Lake Union.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
