About: I have been trusted with friends and families fur babies for almost 8 years, and had many years living with dogs as well. I have experience giving medication, caring for dogs in times of stress and anxiety, and of course going on daily walks. I have stayed overnight with dogs whose parents are out of town and I have experience with bigger dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I have also cared for a wide array of personalities as all dogs are very different, I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and how to have a good time with them. I work part time and have plenty of mornings available for pet care, I only work late nights once or twice a week and am almost always available after 8/9pm if needed. I am often going on a walk daily and bringing a dog along with me is even better! I am always making sure to cater to a dogs wants and needs, whether that be outside time running laps and playing fetch, or having down time inside and just hanging out. I understand that each dogs needs are different and being able to provide them with a fulfilling day is something I love!

“We are happy we booked Chip for an hour walk with our dog! He was great at our meet and greet and asked all the right questions to prep for his time with our pup. Excellent communication and you can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of the dogs he cares for.”

Aubrey P.

“Brandon is amazing! So amazing he walks my dog for me on a semi regular basis.”

“Always on time. Nice person. Auggie loved her”

David P.

“Paula was so amazing with our girl Mizu. Mizu canbe hesitant with strangers but warmed up to Paula quickly and became super excited for their daily walks together. We use a gentle lead for Mizu bc she is a big puller as well, and Paula was already familiar with them. She was super communicative and accommodating, so I highly recommend her!”

Brenna S.

About: I grew up raising puppies and have had dogs around me my entire life. But more importantly, I know firsthand that not every dog is an easygoing, "walk-in-the-park" pup—and that’s my specialty. My personal dog is a 16-year-old sweet senior whom I’ve raised since he was 5 weeks old. He is reactive in his old age, and now requires additional patience and understanding. He also developed some arthritis and requires daily medication management. Because of my daily life with him, I deeply understand the patience, environmental awareness, and gentle care that "high-maintenance" or sensitive pets need. Whether your dog is a rambunctious puppy, a reactive rescue needing a calm handler, or a golden-years senior who needs a slow pace and precise medical care, they will be in safe, experienced hands with me. 🗓️ Weekday Schedule (Mon–Fri) Midday & Lunch Breaks (11 AM – 2 PM): Prime Time! Perfect for workday walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day potty breaks. Mornings & Evenings: Fully available for early walks, dinner feeds, or bedtime drop-ins. Flexible Workdays: I work remotely with a light meeting schedule. With a little advance notice, I can easily accommodate mid-afternoon drop-ins or last-minute walk requests! ✈️ Travel & Notice Preferences Short-Notice Friendly: If I’m in town and my calendar is open, I’m happy to take last-minute requests. Travel Buffer: I do travel occasionally for work. My Rover calendar is kept up-to-date, but recurring weekly clients get priority booking and advanced notice of any away dates! 1. Home & Environment (For Drop-In Visits) When I enter your home, your pet’s safety and your home’s security are my top priorities. 🔒 Double-Door Protocol: I am extremely mindful of door-dashers. I ensure all entryways and gates are fully secured behind me before letting pets out or off-leash in a yard. 🔑 Home Care & Discretion: I handle home keys, smart locks, and alarm systems with absolute care. Your property will always be locked and secured when I leave. 🧼 Clean & Mindful: I leave your space exactly as I found it. Paws get wiped on rainy days, mess items are cleaned up, and dirty food/water bowls are washed after every visit. 2. Safety Practices & Walk Rules Because I handle my own reactive senior dog daily, safety on walks is second nature to me: 🦮 Equipment Checks: Before stepping foot outside, I double-check that leashes, collars, and harnesses are properly fitted and securely latched. I use fixed 6-foot leashes (no retractable leashes) for maximum control and safety. 🛑 Strict "Zero-Greeting" Policy: I never allow on-leash greetings with unfamiliar dogs or strangers. I constantly scan the environment for triggers, cross streets early, and give your dog a low-stress, quiet walk. 💧 Weather & Hydration Aware: I monitor pavement temperatures in hot weather and always carry fresh water during outdoor visits. 3. Information I Need Before Our First Visit (The "Meet & Greet") To ensure your pet gets the safest, happiest care possible, please share: 💊 Medication Routines: Any exact dosages, schedule, or preferred trick to administering pills/liquids. ⚠️ Triggers & Anxieties: Does your pet dislike loud noises, bicycles, other dogs, or certain touch zones (e.g., paws, ears)? 📍 Emergency Contacts: Your preferred vet, the nearest 24/7 emergency vet clinic, and a local emergency contact. 🚪 Home Quirks: Any tricky locks, gate latches, or specific places your pet likes to hide when scared.

“Lyric is an exceptional dog-carer, and her own pup is sweet and friendly. Do not hesitate to book her for all your walking and watching needs!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11, starting with cats and expanding to dogs, reptiles, and bunnies over the years. Whether it’s my own pets or family and friends’ fur babies, I’m passionate about providing walks, meals, cuddles, and genuine attention. I have experience managing dogs of all sizes—from lap-sized pups to large breeds—and I approach every pet with patience, responsibility, and love. Your pet isn’t just in safe hands with me; they’re getting someone who genuinely enjoys their company. I’m available for afternoon and evening drop-ins and walks. I’m off work by 2pm every single day, which means I can fit into your routine perfectly. On my 3 days off, I have full availability for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. Whether you need a quick litter check and feeding, playtime, or a longer visit, I can work with your schedule. Your cat will be in hands that truly care, and with my flexible availability, you’ll have the reliable sitter you’re looking for. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, safety and respect are everything. I follow your instructions precisely; feeding amounts, medications, house rules. And I’m alert to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I treat your space with care, respecting your privacy and only engaging with what’s needed for your pet’s comfort. I keep visits calm and consistent so your pet stays relaxed in their own environment. You’ll always know when I’ve visited and how your pet is doing, and I’m immediately available if anything comes up. Your pet stays safe, your home stays secure, and you get complete peace of mind.

About: Having used Rover myself whenever I travel, I know how much of a relief it is to find someone you trust wholly with your home and your pets! I grew up in a house full of animals (dogs, cats, and critters of all kinds!) and today I share my home with two sweet cats, Disco and Moe. Because Disco needs medication three times a day, I am used to keeping a close eye on routines, precise timing, and special care details. I also do exceptionally well with anxious or shy pets. I take the time to learn their trust, pay close attention to their cues, and always respect their boundaries so they feel safe at their own pace. Whether I am popping in for a mid-day walk, stopping by for drop-ins, or staying over for house sitting, I treat your pets with the exact same love, warmth, and attention to detail I want for my own. And get ready for plenty of photo updates! As a fellow pet parent, I know there is no such thing as too many pictures while you are away!!! Since moving to Seattle, I have a very flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to give your pets my full attention! Whether you need a mid-day neighborhood walk, a last-minute drop-in visit, or dedicated house sitting, my open schedule means I am readily available to fit your pet's routine seamlessly. I take safety and comfort very seriously, treating your home and pets with the same care I give my own two cats. On dog walks, I stay fully focused on safety, leash control, and surroundings. During visits, I focus on building trust at your pet's pace, keeping routines consistent, adhering strictly to feeding schedules, and keeping your space tidy. When it comes to cats, I know how different their personalities can be! I will be attentive to their body language and respect their boundaries as desired. But love a good snuggle, play, or pets session with those who are interested!

About: Hello! My name is Jared Davies and I live in the Ballard area. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but I grew up with multiple dogs and cats my entire childhood. I go on walks/runs every day around the Ballard area and miss having a furry friend to bring along with me. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. Happy to come meet you and your pet at your convenience, free of charge before we get anything scheduled! I am currently working remote throughout the week. I am pretty flexible and can accommodate to the needs of the pets that I am sitting for. I have a good sized 1 bedroom apartment in Ballard. There are a few grassy areas just outside of my apartment, which is where I typically take them to go to the bathroom. I will take your dog on walks around the Ballard neighborhood. There are no other pets or people in my apartment, although my girlfriend occasionally helps out when I am pet sitting.
