About: Hi there! 👋 My name is Kate. I’m a mom of 2, and I have always had a strong love for animals. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats, some of whom are rescues. Growing up, I had a medically fragile dog that I administered insulin to and because of this, animals with disabilities have a special place in my heart. I have experience caring for multiple pets — up to 10 cats at one time. I have cared for pets of all sorts of temperaments and sizes and feel confident that I can provide exceptional care for your pet. It’s extremely important to me that you feel you can not only trust me but know that I will follow your instructions/routine perfectly and treat your pet like they are my own. I am a stay-at-home mom to my 3-year-old. Our days consist of being at home and playing in our backyard when we’re not running the occasional errand. I have open availability morning, afternoon and evening Monday—Sunday. My pets are family, and they are treated just that way. They all love to play, whether it’s fetch in the backyard, puzzle boards stuffed with treats or running after toy mice. In the evenings, they love to cuddle on the couch together. Each of my pets have different needs. Once I understood their personalities and behaviors, I tailored my everyday routine.
“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: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover and proud cat mom who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I've cared for many dogs of all sizes, whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, or just keeping them company while their families are away. I've also done plenty of drop-in visits for cats and other pets, making sure they're fed, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventure or prefers cuddles and a quiet companion, I'm happy to match their needs and routine. I'd love the chance to meet your pets and help make your time away stress-free for both of you! My schedule is very flexible during the summer! During the school year, I'm available for pet visits before 7 AM and after 3 PM on weekdays. I'm also available all day on weekends. Whether your pet needs an early morning check-in, an afternoon walk, or weekend care. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that best fits their pets' routines. I'd love to help! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Their well-being always comes first, and I make sure they are happy, well-fed, hydrated, and getting the attention and care they need. I follow pet parents' instructions closely to maintain each pet's normal routine and provide the best possible care. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, or medication, I make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and well-being. If I notice any new, unusual, or concerning behaviors, I will contact the pet parent right away so they can stay informed and involved in their pet's care. I know how important it is to know your pet is doing well while you're away, so I'm always happy to provide regular photo updates and written check-ins. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and make sure both they and their pets have a positive, stress free experience.

I enjoy walking rain or shine and find joy in spending time with animals. I make sure their needs are met and get the playtime and attention they deserve. It is a honor to be trusted with your pets care so safety, comfort and it’s happiness is my top priority. With a focus on keeping a clean environment and personalizing pet care for your pet.
“Mollay went above and beyond this time for me! Starting with the booking, this was super last minute, but she was flexible and worked with me to get my dog walked. After that, she got some really cute pictures! When she made it back to my house, she even watered my plants and said hello to my rabbit for me! What a great experience all around. She is my go to!”
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: Growing up, I’ve always had pets, and my first childhood pet was a cat named Blackie. Later, we added another cat, Oreo, to the family. Around the same time, we welcomed Tank, our German Shepherd/Shar-Pei mix, who became my loyal companion from elementary school through high school. I took care of Tank every day, and he was so sweet and gentle that he even helped people overcome their fear of dogs. When Blackie and Oreo passed, we brought two more cats, Dickie and Roxy, into our family. Over time, Dickie disappeared, and I got another cat, Marley, who had a litter of kittens. We kept one and named her Gracie. Shortly after having her kittens, Marley passed away. Later, I got another cat, Buddy, who eventually ran away. Now, as an adult, I’ve continued my love for pets with my two current cats, Dayz May and Willow, who I care for alongside my boyfriend, a fellow animal lover (especially when it comes to cats). Though my journey with cats has been lifelong, I’ve always had a deep love for dogs. Tank will always hold a special place in my heart, and I jump at any chance to care for dogs, like my aunt’s and mom’s pets. I still get as excited as a child spotting a pony whenever I see a dog, eager to pet, play with, and spoil them. I ensure they’re well-fed, entertained, and happy—because I believe every dog deserves a joyful life. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs especially seem to bond with me quickly. I can’t wait for the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pet! Currently OPEN to just about anything! I DoorDash on the side so I basically have my own schedule. Tuesdays I watch my little sister(6) after school for a few hours(4-9) but can be flexible. **Our Place:** We have two cats in our small home, so we prefer to care for your pets in their own environment, where they feel safest. **Yours:** When I (Parkre) arrive, I first assess the situation by checking for any accidents, reviewing any notes left, ensuring water is filled, and confirming if food is needed. After this quick check, I take the dogs for a walk to handle potty breaks and playtime. The rest of the day is tailored to your pets' schedules. When my time is up, I always leave the space cleaner than before and your pets happier than ever. Your home is your sanctuary, and I'm here to help keep it that way.
“We are so happy we found Evelyn! She was always on time and communicative, and gave Denver lots of TLC while we are at work. We loved getting cute photos and updates. So grateful having her to take care of our furbaby!”
“My name is Porgi the Corgi and I love my new friend Karen! She took me to my favorite playground; PLU campus. She can keep up with me better than my mahm's wheelchair. I'm super happy and ready for afternoon naps! Oh, yeah, mummy likes her, too. Kind, fun, friendly, and all kinds of nice words. ?”
About: Worked at 2 veterinary hospitals & have been a dog sitter in the past. Have had dogs myself my whole life. Can't wait to meet yours! I work from home currently and walk dogs during evenings & weekends for now, but hope to transition to full time eventually. Please help me get there! I have a small fenced back yard. 2 parks in my gated community. My 2 small friendly dogs & my 3 kids can also help keep your dog company.
“Brittainy went above and beyond and I wanted to tip more but rover cut me off at 30%. Cannot say enough good things about letting Brittainy take care of your fur babies!!!”
About: My family has raised German Shepherds for 40 yrs. When I babysit a dog it’s a family affair . We live on a park like setting home . Fully fenced yard and a spacious house . I really love animals . My family bred German Shepherds since 2013 so I am experienced in training small pups as well . We have a FB page called House of Shepherds were you can see lots of reviews on us. Please reach out we would take great care of yr loving pets. If you need to board yr dog for a long period of time (30 days or more) we could work out a price. 😊❤️🐶 My family consists of My mother & Father and I. We all take care of the dogs when we have visitors. We have boarded lots of dogs in the past We have a huge acre of land that is fully fenced . We have 2 German Shepherds that get along with all dogs. We are very trustworthy.
About: I love spending time with dogs of all kinds. My family dog passed away of old age (13 years) last year so I love the thought of spending time with other people’s dogs and giving them love when their families can’t be there. I currently have a golden doodle named Loki (2 years old) who lives with my friend and have taught him to sit, shake, lay down, and whisper bark! I am currently a graduate student studying speech language pathology at the University of Washington. All funds that I make through Rover go towards paying my tuition. I can dog sit anytime that is available on my calendar :) I make sure to provide lots of pictures and updates for the parents. In case anything is out of the ordinary, I always make sure to have vet information before the families leave.
About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
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!
There is a reason why Briaunna has so many raving reviews. She not only walks my dog but trains him along the way. She takes charge of the walk, gets him walking to get that puppy energy out and instructs my puppy on how to walk while providing praise when he does a good job. He always looks forward to seeing her and has no problem leaving me at the door :) Briaunna is highly dependable and communicates extremely well, not only for booking but if he is doing better at walking in general or any feedback she makes sure to mention which I appreciate.

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 Spanaway. 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 Spanaway.

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:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
