“Briaunna is the best!! She is amazing with my little anxious old man. She is great at getting back to me quickly & is flexible with my schedule/my dog's needs. Highly recommend!”
“Courtney was a pleasure to meet. My dog took to her right away. She was not only on time, but a bit early so we could briefly discuss. Courtney has great communication before and after the walk and sent a few photos on his walk. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of many of my friends pets, dogs and cats when they are away. I absolutely love doing it! Pets are part of the family! I am currently working part time doing instacart so I am on the road and can stop whenever I need to let them out or take them on a walk. I am also starting school this summer so I will be available after classes as well. I usually stay over at my friend's house whenever they are gone to watch their fur babies. So they feel comfortable and safe in there own space.
About: My experience with dog covers just about all fields there are. I spent 10+ years showing herding breeds in showmanship and obedience, often at the state level. This included all the required grooming and handling skills that comes with performing at a pro level. I also trained lessons at 4-H clubs once a week for 5 years. I helped teach kids how to teach their dogs and during that time I worked with dogs big and small. Fear aggressive and wild lab puppies. I continued my training at a local boarding facility where Ive been exposed to even more unique dogs. This facility specialized in dogs that needed special care or more technical help than regular boarding places could provide. Food aggressive malinois, elderly pitbulls that have specific medical needs and anxious poodles are all just a regular Tuesday for me. I'm always looking for a new experiences and a challenge! My goal is flexibility! Any day of the week, morning and night, I'm available. My work day starts late enough in the day for most if not all morning activities and I'm off perfectly on time for afternoon walkies. I've house sat for dozens of times. In my 10+ years of connection with 4-H, I've watched many members pets over the years. This included more unique animals like reptiles and birds all the way to a guinea pig barn. My goal is to keep everything as in routine as possible. Pets are already anxious when their parents leave so doing everything just like you do helps minimize any added stress. No such thing as too much information!

About: I have been around animals of all kinds my entire life, my mom was always bringing little critters home so I have gotten to experience lots of different four legged friends I have a full house. We have two dogs. A 14 year old miniature Schnauzer named Zoey. A 4 year old Yorki named S'More who thinks he is master of the universe. We also have two cats. A 12 year old ash point lynx named Viktor. And a 2 month old kitten named Roscoe. They are both strays We picked up. And four Sugar Gliders: Stitch, Ziggy, Joey, Gizmo.

I am more than happy to be your fur babies best pal, whether that's someone to play with, or chill with.
“Lauren was a tremendous help last minute for us! She was great with our 2yo 100lb black lab who’s very active and quite the sniffer and loves his walks. She was awesome at communicating and took care of a few things I hadn’t thought of. We are happy to find a great Rover locally for Drake, thank you!!”
“We are so happy to have found Micayla! She's been wonderful with our pup! She's professional and dependable, and is more than willing to help us out with training exercises that we are teaching our pup. She is a great communicator and keeps me posted on what's happening during her walks. I highly recommend her services!”
“Megan was awesome! She was super flexible with my last minute booking and Benson absolutely loved her. I got updates while they walked and he looked like he was having fun the entire time. I would absolutely re-book with her!”

Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.
About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of dogs, with many different behaviors for many years. Working in a daycare setting to a few shelter settings. I have experience in grooming, training and I am CPR certified! I am currently solely focused on animal care. I may break my day or week into sections to allow myself time to spend with the animals. Open availability, dates and time are negotiable. Safety for the animal and myself is very important. Any signs of disturbances or harm will be acknowledged and addressed in a timely matter. I will also stay very communicative with the clients and with the emergency team. I will treat the animal and the home as if it was my own.
About: Plenty of experience from having my own dogs, to always watching friends/families pets over the years. Your fur baby will receive the top-notch care. From previously owning a Cane Corso I have attended many dog training classes and have learned so many tips and tricks and behaviors/training. I am particularly good at teaching tricks! My schedule is wide open! My availability is any weekday and most weekends. My husband is an airline pilot so being with dogs gives me something to do! 💗 Your fur baby will get the upmost care/safety in my home. I currently live in a cute apartment with a grassy area for pets. I’m a very outdoorsy person and I love going on walks and to parks so your pet will have the upmost outdoor activity it loves/is used to.
“Michaela is wonderful and our dog Jack loves her. Jack usually barks at new people, but the first time he met Michaela, he went all doe-eyed. Jack also has a number of funny habits that some walkers might be very impatient with, but Michaela is both patient and resourceful in interpreting what's up with him. Last, we human persons had lots of concerns about Jack to run past Michaela, and her communication and insights put us at ease. Michaela has a way with our persnickety pup (and similarly mannered people :)). We're glad to have found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
Brianna does such a wonderful job communicating with me about my dog and all of the new experiences or challenges he encounters. I really appreciate how she keeps me updated—not only if there’s something I may want to work on with my dog, but even about the little things, like meeting another friendly dog on a walk or wind chimes that startled him since he had never seen before. Walking him through those new sounds or experiences to help him be confident and calm while looking to her for guidance. Her communication gives me peace of mind and helps me better understand how my dog is doing and what we can continue working on.
Sam is Awesome. Rosie and Pepper Jack are still new to Rover but right when they saw her at the front door they knew what time it was. She’s very good and patient with them. I missed a scheduled walk day and she went above and beyond to check on us. Will continue to go with Sam.
Serene was very flexible to last minute booking changes. My husband was supposed to set everything up for her to make her visit easy, but on the rush out, he did not. She was very helpful and looked back at months old notes and old bookings to figure out how to best help out my pup. And she did everything perfectly !! I 110% book with Serene first anytime we need her!
Alyssa was wonderful with our dog! Our dog can be pretty wary of strangers, but Alyssa’s calm demeanor, patience, and understanding really helped her feel comfortable quickly. She didn’t seem fazed at all by our dog’s hesitation and gave her the time and space she needed to warm up. We will absolutely book with Alyssa again!

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 Spanaway. 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 Spanaway 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 Spanaway. On Rover:
- 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
