“Eleanor is just wonderful! She cares about your pet and is so easy to communicate with! We don’t have to worry at all when she is taking care of our dog. Highly recommend!”

About: We currently have a 9 year old GSP and 16 year old cat (who's the boss of the house), and we often take care of friends pets while they're away. Pretty much anytime we can get pet snuggles, we're in :) Please note that for new clients we require a meet & greet prior to boarding and doggie daycare. We also only take one boarding/daycare request at a time to provide the best possible service for our furry guests. We both work from home, so have plenty of time for furry friends and our schedules are very flexible. If given enough notice, we can easily work around your scheduling needs. Our apartment building has 24/7 concierge and security, making it very secure. We have access to a private dog run for potty breaks and off-leash play, plus we're close to our neighborhood dog park that has lots of space to run. If we need to leave the pups home, they are given free roam of the bedroom and we're able to check in on the pups with a Doggie Cam. If requested, have multiple bedrooms where pups can get solo time or be crated by themselves.
“Annabelle was terrific in taking care of Allie for me all week. She was highly communicative, flexible and creative in dealing with the bad weather. Highly recommend her.”

“Eva is such a gem! She patiently figured out a key issue with my leasing office on the first day. My dog can be a little shy, but he seemed to have a great time with Eva. She was very responsive and took great pictures! She goes above and beyond and I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future 🐾”

“Adam was lovely and great with Sage. Gave a a bit of time on the first meeting for Sage to acclimate! Very easy and friendly to communicate with as well! Sage came back tired from the walk which means she was happy!”


“Cannot say enough positive things about these two! I booked with them after a sudden work shift change, and they were able to accommodate my short notice and help care for my pittie Kimmy. I was originally so nervous about leaving my older, arthritic dog under someone else’s care, but immediately knew my dog was in good hands. They were attentive to her needs, prioritizing her safety and well being. They are truly passionate about animal care and really seem to love my dog as if she was their own. They are Reliable, flexible, playful with my dog, kind, and trustworthy. So grateful to have found them!!”

“Akiko helped us out for a week with doggy daycare for our puppy Zoe. She was super communicative, sent lots of great photo and video updates, and did a great job making sure Zoe had an adventure-filled day around the neighborhood! We would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Zhongni has been amazing! She walked my dog for several days, twice a day, and it was such a great experience. My dog absolutely loved her walks and was always happy and excited to go with her. She is calm, gentle, reliable, and truly caring. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend Zoni—I will definitely book her again!”

“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 :)”

“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!”
“Erin is so reliable and always goes above and beyond. I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone I can trust and don’t have to worry about with my dog! I’ve been using her weekly since our first walk :)”

About: Recently retired and petless at the moment, although I have almost always had a dog. I enjoy getting to know the personalities and needs of dogs and participating in their daily care needs, whether walking for exercise or potty breaks, socializing at home or the park, or ensuring they are fed and cared for when you aren’t available. I live in Belltown, so I’m available in adjacent neighborhoods of LQA, SLU, or downtown areas. Recently retired so finding ways to contribute after my career in education and academic administration. I’m active and in my late 50s with a flexible schedule. Happy to chat or negotiate for ongoing clients. I am committed to protecting, caring for, and understanding your pet and I value being entrusted with the care of this member of your family.

About: Hi! I’m Dawn. I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs in training, veterinary care, grooming, and enrichment-based pet care. More importantly, I genuinely love getting to know dogs as individuals. My approach is patient, science-based, and centered around what your dog actually needs. I believe walks should be more than just getting from point A to point B. I give dogs opportunities to sniff, explore, decompress, investigate their environment, and move at a pace that makes sense for them. Sometimes that means covering a lot of ground, and sometimes it means spending five minutes investigating one really interesting patch of grass. Both can be a successful walk! My training background is rooted in positive reinforcement and understanding canine body language. I’m comfortable working with shy, sensitive, excitable, strong, reactive, adolescent, and senior dogs, and I’m especially attentive to the little signals dogs give us before they become overwhelmed. I also have experience in veterinary settings, so I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra patience or attention. Safety is extremely important to me, and I take handling, equipment, environmental awareness, and each dog’s individual limitations seriously. When your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they’re going on an adventure with someone they know and trust—not just being checked off a schedule. I love building relationships with the dogs I care for and figuring out what makes their tail wag, whether that's a woodland sniffari, practicing some fun skills, exploring a new trail, or simply taking a slow neighborhood wander. And yes—I will absolutely take too many pictures of your dog and tell you all about what they got up to. 🐾🌲 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the animals in my care. Pet care is a major part of my day-to-day life, and I intentionally leave enough time between clients so visits and walks don't feel rushed. I'm available for regular weekly care as well as occasional visits, and I love building consistent relationships with both pets and their people. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I have professional experience in dog training, veterinary care, grooming, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable reading body language and adjusting my handling to the individual animal. I use positive reinforcement and science-based handling methods, and I take introductions slowly when a pet needs extra time. I carefully follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, doors, feeding, medications, reactivity, and household routines.

About: I am a lover of animals, and currently have a 9-year old French Bulldog named Rocco. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, and look forward to meeting many more through the Rover app. I work in banking remotely from home, and I have a rather flexible schedule on both weekdays and on weekends, so I can accommodate most days/times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Lake Union
I’ve been so impressed with the care Echo has received. Her walker is reliable, communicative, and genuinely seems to enjoy spending time with her, which means a lot to me. The walks are thoughtful and thorough, I always get great updates and photos through Rover, and I never feel like the visit is just being rushed through to check a box. Most importantly, Echo absolutely loves her mid-day walk and is clearly comfortable and happy when Madison arrives. Having someone I trust this much with her has made the transition into a new work routine so much easier, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found such kind, dependable care for her.

Dana is great, Beau took to her right away. She has a calm demeanor, which is great for Beau, because he can be a bit anxious when leaving me to walk with someone he doesn’t know. He was so excited the next day when Dana came back! I’d definitely recommend Dana. She has the “animal whisperer” vibe!

Bret was so great with my girls! He came over a few days before to meet my dogs and see what needs to be done during his visit. He had great questions to be sure he provided exceptional care and you can tell he loved animals and they gravitate to him. His experience and knowledge with high energy and large dogs which made me feel so much more comfortable and excited to find someone I can trust with my girls! Will definitely be booking with Bret again!

I’m so glad I got connected with Sami! Very great communicator and she was so great with our dog, took her on a nice walk and handled her with ease for being a last minute request/the first time meeting her! Plus she got the sweetest pictures too ❤️ looking forward to having her back for more walks in the future!
