About: As a kid, I lived on a farm for almost a decade. I would help my mom clean out the horse stalls and feed the chickens. We also had four dogs and cats I helped walk and feed. I rescued my two kitty cats Baela & Frank from A neglectful household. As an online college student My schedule is fairly flexible at this time. Feel free to ask me anything about my availability! I am willing to make it work if you really need a sitter on one of the days I am unavailable. Additionally, I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your pets! Please do t hesitate to ask me more questions about how I spend my free time! What you can expect from me for your animal is a safe and loving supportive environment. I have two cats but no other pets unfortunately, so this is a great opportunity for me to be around other animals as well! This is also a great opportunity for me to gain more experience. Thank you for your consideration!
About: I have experience caring for pets of various ages and temperaments, which has prepared me to confidently manage a wide range of situations and provide dependable support in times of need! As a full time Kinesiology student at Western Washington University, I build pet care into my daily and weekly routine just like I do with my classes and training. My rhythm is structured and organized, which allows me to reliably set aside time for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins. Being active and studying movement also makes spending time with pets a natural fit—I enjoy incorporating exercise, outdoor activity, and consistency into their care while balancing my academic responsibilities. In my clients home I will make sure to foster a safe, comforting, and attentive environment for their furry companion such as being conscientious of potty breaks, crate time, and playtime!
About: I've been an animal person my whole life; from originally wanting to be a vet (decided to pivot due to the sadness that probably comes from being a vet) to caring for pets of my own. I've always felt I've been able to understand animals better than most people. I think it stems from my ability to innately understand their non-verbal communication. Hence, the Dolittle reference. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around the pet’s normal routine. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean space, plenty of attention, and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I’m happy to follow any specific routines you have at home so your pet feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, giving them plenty of affection when they want it and space when they need it.
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”
“Morgan is everything one could want in a dog sitter! She is responsible, reliable, communicative, kind, and loves animals. While I was away I knew my pet was in the very best hands! Thank you, Morgan!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with 3 dogs and taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I have taken care of dogs that have cancer and other health issues so I am comfortable with giving medications and working with challenges that may arise with any dog! I live with a cat that I take care of daily and when I am back home, I am the fulltime caregiver for my 3 dogs. I know a dog's routine and what they need to happy and healthy, and I work around their schedule with anything I have going on. In your home I will respect it and treat it like my own. Any care instructions such as kenneling or a bedtime routine I will follow exactly as they are laid out for me.
“Lia was so wonderful to work with! The Rover cards she submitted were very detailed telling me exactly what they did, how much Benji pooped and peed, and lots of cute pics! She was very communicative and flexible with last minute schedule changes. I can tell she loves working with with pets and I would definitely recommend Lia to watch over your fur babies ☺️”

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child- my dad rescued my dog, rosie, when I was 9 years old. I know all of the responsibilities that come with raising a furry friend, and I will gladly face any challenges in order to improve my skills and service.

About: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve had plenty of pet sitting jobs before and I’ve grown up in a house full of pets as well. I’m currently working full time but I will be transitioning into working part time soon in order to finish my BA online. So my availability will open up a lot more! I live in a pet friendly apartment, with cats, dogs, and even reptiles. We are just walking distance from parks and the waterfront for walking needs. Our house is quiet and we keep a tidy home, mainly because my partner and I like to clean all the time.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sudden Valley
We have a reactive and anxious dog, and I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. As soon as I met Michael I felt totally comfortable with him caring for my dog. He took the time to get to know her with a couple drop in visits before watching her for a weekend. He listens to instructions well and you can definitely tell he loves all animals. We will continue to use Michael for daily walks and when we are out of town.
Matthew did a great job walking our dog Mulligan. he was prompt, communicative, and Mully took to him quickly. each time Matthew came over, Mully got really happy and bouncy as soon as he saw Matthew coming up the patio steps. and each time he returned with a big doggy smile on his face, then promptly fell in to a deep sleep that only comes after a great walk. :) we will definitely use Matthew again if we need walking help with Mully.

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 Sudden Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
