About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so for daycare your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

About: Im Ana, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park. I’m able to give your dog/cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. I can take dogs to dog park or the nearest park to make sure they get the most of the visit.

Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.

About: I’ve been a volunteer at two different animal shelters, including Olympia‘s Joint Animal Services. I’ve worked with everything from tiny 4 week old kittens to elderly dogs, and I’m comfortable delivering some medications. As a former teacher and current volunteer educator I’ve passed many background checks. I’ve taken care of my own pets and those of family and friends my whole life, and I love getting to know new fur friends. I am currently working part time as a consultant so my pet care schedule is very flexible. I am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Meeting someone new can be stressful for an animal, so I meet your pets with patience and attention to their needs. I strive to be a calm and safe presence although I am also happy to have fun and match their energy if they are looking to be playful.

About: At a young age, my family rescued a Cocker Spaniel puppy who later developed cataracts in both eyes. Caring for him sparked a deep love for animals that has stayed with me ever since. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to care for pets belonging to family and friends, with experience caring for animals of different ages, personalities, and health needs. I’m responsible, compassionate, and attentive, and I genuinely care about making sure every animal feels happy, comfortable, and safe in my care. I currently work remote and am able to provide care as needed. I live closer to Seattle and am able to commute anywhere in the area as frequently as needed. I can provide any quality of care that is requested by you. I do have a private yard and I live in an area that is very walkable and dog friendly!

About: I grew up with cats and started taking care of neighbor's cats while they were on vacation from a young age. I have also taken care of dogs! I've enjoyed petsitting for the past few years for multiple families through Trusted Housesitters. I've taken care of pets that need to take pills or be given insulin shots. I love getting to know new pets! My current work is on a somewhat irregular schedule, but I'm usually free mornings, early evenings, and often afternoons! I would have plenty of time to check in on and play with your pet, and am happy to stay overnight in a housesit to keep your pet company. My work is less frequent during the winter, so I have even more time to spend with your pet! At my house, I don't currently have any pets of my own, but my roommates have some sweet and friendly dogs! I mostly plan on using this app for housesits and check-ins, so I will be able to minimize interruptions to your pet's normal environment. I always make sure that I'll be able to provide the care your pets need before I accept a job.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.

About: Hiya! I’m extremely passionate about animals, and would love to continue gaining knowledge and experience taking care of pets. I previously worked at a local petsitting/dog walking company for over a year, and I currently work part-time as a professional dog bather & pet care specialist at a pet store! So I have lots of experience with huge and tiny dogs; senior, puppy, and everything in-between. In personal experience, I’ve had many dogs, cats, and reptiles, all of whom I’ve walked, trained, fed, bathed, and taken care of since many of them were very young. Boundaries and body language are a hugely important factor with animals, and I work hard to learn all about each individual pet’s needs and how they express them! 🐾🐶🐈 I currently work part-time, and my free-time during the week will be dedicated to your babies! I’m happy to work with every client’s schedule to find what works best for us :)! I look forward to learning about every individual pet’s needs, and getting to know them on a personal level! I understand how important it is to get everything right.

About: About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience in doggy daycare, kennel care, boarding, animal handling, and maintaining clean, safe environments for animals. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and behaviors. Through my professional experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, safety, and understanding animal body language. I’m especially interested in dog behavior and training, and I enjoy building trust with animals at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or has a personality all their own, I strive to make them feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets and respecting your home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and follow your care instructions closely. I love working with all kinds of animals and believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and individualized care. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your animals feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or otherwise wonderful family members! 🐸🐱🐰🐶🐠❤️ My day-to-day routine includes caring for animals, keeping their environments clean and comfortable, and making sure their individual needs are met. I enjoy staying active, learning about animal behavior, and providing pets with attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. When caring for your pets, I prioritize following their normal routines, including walks, feeding schedules as instructed, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m attentive to their behavior and comfort levels and strive to provide consistent, reliable care while keeping owners updated on how their pets are doing. I stick to schedules and routines, I believe being a great pet sitter means more than just providing food, walks, and playtime. It means being patient, attentive, dependable, and understanding how to make each animal feel secure and respected. My experience has taught me the importance of recognizing animal body language, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and adjusting my approach to each pet’s comfort level. When you trust me with your pets, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving thoughtful, personalized care. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, checking in on your pets while you’re away, or staying in your home to keep them company, my goal is to treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were away. I am currently a student and only work part-time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With this schedule it allows me to have plenty of time for walks and runs. I do not offer in-home care. But I would ensure the safety of the pets that I am watching by asking questions about crating and how pets do around other dogs if we go on walks or to the park.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Tumwater is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,135 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Tumwater. 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 Tumwater. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Tumwater after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Tumwater. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
