“Thank you for your continued amazing work with my Stella girl! We are both so grateful to you! You are always so accommodating and communicative, I appreciate you so much 🥹❤️”
“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”
“Arianna is a trustworthy and excellent person. My pooch loves her and she is flexible, responsible, and responds well. She is now dooing weekly with me! Thanks!”
About: Since I was a baby I had a white Lab named Cooper. Best friends have always had dogs. 3 years ago me and my mom took care of two little Labradors. I don’t currently have them anymore due to health reasons my mom was facing but would love to spend as most time as possible with animals, especially dogs. I house sitted three dogs for a week, enjoyed every minute with it. Sprinting in a field with a dog is one of the most freeing experiences everyone needs to live. I am currently unemployed trying to find work before a trip in early July, Able to help anytime during the week, nite, etc. I have a very flexible schedule I can adjust so I’m able to spend lots of time with your pet. I mainly go to the gym, and go out with friends at nighttime. I’ll show your dog around 9th and 9th. Open to driving anywhere. Would love to take your dog on a hike! Will take your dog paddleboarding, the dog park, stores.
“Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. Work situation changed so I’m more open to daytime walks and drop ins. I also keep a weird sleep schedule so if you need a late night drop in or walk, hit me up. Update: I did recently get a dog. He’s a young doodle and prefers to chew on my hair and hands more than toys, but gets along well with other dogs. He sure everyone wants to be his friend. He is young, potty trained and a great playmate. So right now the only way I’m able to sit is if your dog would like new bestie. I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I am always wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.
About: Hello! My name is Amber and I have a perfect home to watch your dogs in while you're at work M - F I work from home FT during the week so I can keep your pup company, give them frequent fenced in yard time, and make sure they're cared for. I raised my own dog Koda from a 6wk old puppy to 16yrs old. She passed away in May (and im keeping her in my profile pictures for now) but now I have a dog friendly house ready to care for a dog. I've also spent time around dogs all my life and have recently started fostering through the Tacoma Humane Society too. I've also hired many dog + house over the years throug rover and know what makes a good sitter. Feel free to reach out! Monday-Friday 9am-6pm I'm up and about and really have no limitations. If I do have something coming up thst week it will reflect in my calendar In addition to my dog, I've had many sizes of family dogs growing up. I can handle most all sizes and energy levels. My last dog is also an escape artist, is a senior and has a little anxiety so I am always very diligent and observant of behaviors. My last foster dog was 155lbs. We went on daily walks successfully
“Rachel was great with my pup's walk! Also was super about communicating with me when we had to troubleshoot my front door lock. Happy to rebook and recommend to anyone!”
“Ethan is amazing. I can not put into words how great he is with my Roman. I was nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family for the first time, but Ethan made everything so easy. All of the updates, pictures, and just his knowledge of dogs. I can not recommend him enough!”
“Bailiegh is absolutely incredible. She understands Convoy's needs and makes sure they are met every time. She communicates appropriately and is well spoken. She sends video and pictures every walk and Convoy is always happy, vocal and worn out. Bailiegh is a Rover dream and looking forward to continuing having her being a positive figure in Convoy's life.”
“Alyssa was great! She was able to accommodate my needs last minute. She was very friendly and my pup loved her. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a walker/sitter!”
“Adam is fantastic! He is always super responsive and gives great updates! He is the first experience I've had with Rover, and though I was nervous to trust someone with my little guy, Adam exceeded all my expectations! I know my dog Jean Luc is in great hands, and I don't ever want to get anyone else to take care of him. Thank you so much, Adam!”
“Alyssa is amazing and my dog absolutely loves her. She walks my dog 3x a week and my dog gets so excited. She’s always tired afterwards, which is nice for me. Thank you, Alyssa! :)”

Cannot recommend Michael enough! We were in a pinch today and needed a walk on short notice and Michael was quick to respond and arrived in a flash to get my dogs out for an excellent walk He went above and beyond covering a couple miles and even gave us some extra time on our walk! My dogs are high energy Shepard/husky mixes and can be a little wild and he handled them no problem. They seemed to really like him which was cool (because they don’t like most people) and were sad to see him go! Cannot thank you enough Michael I will absolutely be booking him in the future!
Keri was quick to take a last minute job and was super flexible with her schedule to fit in a walk with my dog. She took lots of cute pictures, was responsive, and punctual. We greatly appreciate Keri and will definitely be rebooking as my dog seemed super happy and relaxed when we got home.
Jordan was absolutely amazing! They took great care of my dogs and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring and capable hands. Jordan was reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jordan again. Highly recommend!
Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.
Van is my dogs favorite person!! They have put in the time and effort to get to know his personality and make him feel special and cared for. He can be difficult at times and Van has been excellent at communicating and working through those moments with us. Not to mention the best dog photographer in town! 10/10 recommend booking Savannah to care for your pet
Reese was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Casper! She is very communicative and even sent cute pics of him on the walk. Casper is a rescue so he can be a bit anxious with new people, but he warmed up to her right away! Highly recommend and we will be booking again soon!
Chris was great! He was super prompt in responding, ready next day to walk Kain and did very well with him. Being that Kain is 180lbs it can be intimidating but Chris really made himself feel like they had been buddies for years. They went on a long 3 mile walk/jog so Kain was plenty tired! We will certainly use Chris' service again and would highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Tacoma 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 10,792 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tacoma. 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 Tacoma. 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 Tacoma.

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 Tacoma. 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.
