About: Hi! I’m excited to meet new pets and provide loving, reliable care while you’re away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I love giving treats, attention, playtime, and plenty of snuggles to help pets feel comfortable and happy. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with your pet’s routine and specific needs. I follow structured schedules to make sure your pets receive the best care possible. The more information you share about your pet, the better I can tailor their care and keep them feeling safe and comfortable. Thank you for considering me as your sitter — I truly appreciate the opportunity and look forward to helping with your pet care needs! I currently work part-time 4 days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available all day on Wednesdays through Fridays. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and weekends I’m available after work, typically no later than 2 PM willing to check on pete before I start my shift! I’m always happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best and will make sure your pets receive lots of attention, care, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. 😊 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, and any special needs to help pets feel as stress free as possible. I’m patient, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own while keeping you updated along the way

About: Hi my name is Georgia and I have not only previous experience for about a year where I worked with dogs at petsmart through the petshotel having to take care of them while the owners are away but I'm also a current employee at scampers daycamp for dogs where I have had to oversee up to 20 + dogs by myself or with others. I grew up with animals my whole life along with volunteering at the Humane Society a little and Kelsey Creek Farm Park. I think what you'll love about me is that I like creating a bond with the dog I'm working with and the pet parents as well. I feel like that's very important, after all I am looking after your four legged family member!! I can't wait to get to know you and your four legged companion! In conclusion, I hope to hear from you very soon!

Our experience with Tiffany has been excellent. She is very punctual, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. We appreciate the regular updates and photos—it gives us a peace of mind during the day. Our dog Coco is anxious and gets nervous with when other dogs walk near by but with Tiffany, our dog has become less anxious and happy and well-exercised every time. A dependable and professional service. She is great with our dog. Highly recommend!

About: I'm a dedicated dog parent to two wonderful pups, a 7 year old English Springer Spaniel I've raised from puppyhood and a 1 year old wirehair Dachshund. This hands-on experience has taught me how to care for dogs at different life stages, from the high energy of puppies to the steady companionship of adult dogs. I love getting outside and exploring nature, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Whether your pup needs gentle care or is an energetic explorer, I understand that every dog is unique and deserves individualized attention. My flexible schedule allows me to provide care with multiple walks or indoor time throughout the day. Your dog will always have me nearby for pets, potty breaks, and playtime. I'll follow your specified care routine, including feeding schedules, training routines, and favorite walking routes. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and play. I can follow all care instructions precisely, including medication schedules and dietary restrictions. I can maintain your pet's established routine and keep your space tidy. I can provide regular photo and text updates so you always know your furry family member is happy and safe.

My first time using rover and Olivia was wonderful with our elderly puggle! She walked Snugs for three days while I was traveling and my husband had to be at his office. Olivia was reliable, trustworthy, and even fed Snugs (upon request) on the day he was going to be home past her dinnertime. We’ll use Olivia again!

About: What truly sets me apart is my deep commitment to providing attentive, specialized care for dogs at every stage of life. I don't just watch pets; I understand their unique rhythms and needs. I grew up with dogs and spent years caring for my own three sweet senior dogs until the the oldest baby passed at age 17. Through that journey, I became highly experienced in managing senior care, administering daily medications, and meticulously tracking health conditions and daily activities to ensure comfort and well-being. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave a senior or special-needs pup/kitty with someone, and I bring that exact level of devotion to every furbaby I care with. In addition to senior care, I am fully experienced in managing multi-dog and mutlti-cat households and keeping up with the high energy and structure needed for younger ones. Whether your baby needs gentle, patient medical care or active supervision and playtime, I treat them like family. Because I work full-time from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to integrate dedicated pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. Your furbaby will never feel lonely and will get plenty of attention throughout the day! Daytime Companionship & House Sitting: Working remotely means I am physically present. If I am house sitting or drop-in, your baby will have me nearby for potty breaks, scratches, and companionship while I'm there with them. Flexible Mid-Day Walks & Drop-Ins: I can easily step away for lunch-hour strolls or mid-day check-ins to break up your pet's day. Last-Minute Coverage: Life happens! Because I don't have a rigid commute, I am highly available for last-minute drop-in visits or emergency dog walking when your plans unexpectedly change. Whether you need a reliable routine or a quick, last-minute hand, I’m here to make sure your pup/kitty stays safe, happy, and on schedule. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. Because I work full-time from home, your furbaby is always under a watchful eye during house sittings, and I bring a strict, proactive safety protocol to every single walk and drop-in visit. On Walks & Outings: The Leash Never Leaves My Hand: Safety outside is absolute. I maintain a firm, constant grip on the leash at all times—no exceptions. Patience for Sniffing: Walks aren't just for exercise; they are for mental stimulation. I stop frequently to let dogs explore and smell their surroundings at their own pace. Weather-Ready Preparation: I make sure your dog is fully protected before we step out, whether that means applying anti-bug spray, putting on their doggie boots for hot pavement/cold ground, or dressing them in their raincoat. Constant Visual Supervison: Your dog will never leave my sight. I stay 100% focused on them, monitoring the surroundings for off-leash dogs or potential hazards. Cleanliness First: I always clean up after your dog during the walk. When we return, I wipe down their paws and fur so your floors stay completely clean. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins): Respecting Your Space & Routine: I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your dog/cat's established schedule (feeding times, medication windows, and crating preferences) to keep their anxiety low. Meticulous Health & Medication Tracking: If your pet has medical needs, I track their daily medication schedule, appetite, energy, and bathroom breaks with exact precision. I am happy to maintain a daily log for you so you have full visibility into their well-being. Double-Checking Security: I always ensure all doors, windows, and yard gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. No matter the service, I provide frequent photo and text updates so you always know exactly how your furry family member is doing!

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs my whole life and have had many different animals like cats, chickens, bunnies, birds, and even a chameleon.

I am available to go on walks every weekday, usually between 2-4pm, and at any time in the evenings and weekends. If needed, I can also provide walks on weekday mornings before 8am.

About: I have taken care of my family's dogs since I was in high school. My brothers have always relied on me to look after their dogs, and while I'm not exactly sure how it became my responsibility, it felt natural to me, and the dogs seem to love me. I ensure they are well-fed and maintain their health by taking them to the vet and monitoring their overall well-being. I'm currently unemployed while working on a small business project. Looking to pet sit partial of my day to support my bills etc. I have open schedule that can be negotiated. I have a good size fenced yard and my dinning area with hardwood floor for them to hang out inside. Dogs can sense me as safe when they are around me.

We did a trial meet-and-greet walk with Pauline and her dog, Comet, for our German Shepherd (Korben) and Husky mix (Deckard). Pauline was fantastic. Our Husky can be a bit selective and leash-reactive, but she handled him with total confidence and ease on our neighborhood walk. She has great instincts with dog dynamics, remained completely unfazed by typical introduction behaviors, and our senior GSD took to her immediately. It’s a huge relief to find a local sitter who understands large breeds and active dogs so well. Highly recommend!

Jade has helped us walk the dog few times. Jade is absolutely incredible with our two dogs! Handling two distinct personalities can be a challenge, but Jade takes the time to understand each of them individually and listens closely to their cues. A massive plus is her training background—she actively works on correcting behaviors and keeping them consistent with their daily routines. She is incredibly thorough, always ensuring all their needs are met before she leaves. We feel completely at ease knowing they are in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Walking - West Lake Sammamish

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in West Lake Sammamish on Rover is $28.86 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 12,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across West Lake Sammamish. 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 West Lake Sammamish. 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 West Lake Sammamish.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 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 West Lake Sammamish. 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.
