About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!
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: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
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.
“Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.”
“Even though Simone comes everyday, she always takes A LOT of photos which I greatly appreciate because I get to enjoy knowing my pup’s in good hands and he looks happy on his daily adventures. It’s so fun looking at his daily album of adventures while I’m away. I know Simone treats my pup just like her own and always shares his wins, I can’t highly recommend her enough!”
“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: I have had pets since I was five. I have had little and big dogs, dogs with challenging behaviors, cats and farm animals. My pets have always been part of the family. I enjoy caring for our four legged family and look forward to helping you with yours! Pet sitting fits my routine because I have a flexible schedule with time to give. 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.
“I can’t say enough about how awesome Tabitha has been. She interacts with Kai like he was her own and as she has been stellar in working with him along their walks and I can see a huge difference in his reactions to other animals that he normally would bark non stop at. She’s his calming soul!”
“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!”
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.
About: I am a phlebotomist and medical lab assistant currently looking for work. I recently moved to Washington and love it here. I grew up being around cats and dogs. I have one cat named Binx. I’ve helped family and friends with their dogs and cats. I’ve taken them on walks, given them baths, helped with their training, play with them, clean up their litter boxes, brush them, given them medicine, and even gone to the park. I feel like I am the best choice because I respect and love animals. I always make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. I do accept both cats and dogs. I do not discriminate against any breed or size. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I will care for for each animal as if they are my own. I am looking forward to meeting new friends. I am currently looking for work since I moved here and I am pretty open . I am available from the mornings until 3pm or 4pm depending on my schedule. If you have any questions please reach out. I care for each animal as if they were my own. I will make sure they are fed and have water, give them space when they need it, play with them, walk them, give them company, pet them, bath them if needed, etc. I understand each animal has their own unique personalities and require different needs. I will ask for as much information as I need, to give them the best care.
About: I am off work until August 26th and available for house sitting and daily care, after that I am still available but will be working for 6 hours a day. I have dogs and cats of my own and love all animals. I'm not afraid to give medications and have some vet tech training from awhile ago when I was a tech for 4 years. Let me know what you and your pets need and I'm there! I have summer off since I am a school librarian and don't go back to work until August 26th. After that my schedule will change but I'll add that on here later, as soon as I know! I am not able to have pets in my own home but am available to come house sit with yours or stop by anytime to spend time with them.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Spanaway
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!
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.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Spanaway on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,612 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Spanaway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
