“Elyla was amazing! I needed someone at the last minute and she was there to help. Super fast replies and pictures from the walks made me feel better about leaving my dogs in her hands.”
“Eleanor is amazing! They’re prompt, great at communicating, and followed all of my requests. They even took my dog for a run! I could tell he had a great day when I got home. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Friendly and communicative. Very flexible with timing. Easy to tell my dogs were happy and well care for while being watched by Daniel. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Deven was amazing! My dog with a bit of a stranger danger complex bonded to him right away. He was super responsive and genuinely interested in getting to know my dog to better walk with her. Highly recommend.”
“Xiansi (Iris) has been absolutely amazing in taking care of our corgi Scooter! From the very first walk, it was clear how much she loves dogs—Scooter took to her immediately with his usual corgi enthusiasm (and stubbornness!). Iris is reliable, communicative, and always sends the cutest updates with photos, so I never have to worry. She pays close attention to Scooter’s needs, whether it’s adjusting the pace for his little legs (Scoot is 9) or making sure he gets his post-walk water. I’ve even noticed how much calmer he is at home after his walks with her. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such caring hands while I’m at work. Highly recommend Iris to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog walker.”
“Another great experience with Katelyn! I was in a pinch and she came through! I love her detailed accounts of her time with Sunny and her communication skills.”
“Ian was wonderful with our dog. He was helpful, gentle and friendly. It never seemed like he was doing it for first time. Definitely recommend him for the walking your pet.”
“Ponyo was very communicative and was available for literally a last second walk. She was flexible and sent great photos which gave piece of mind. Thank you so much Ponyo, you were amazing!”
About: Hola 👋 I’m Michelle - your soon-to-be FAVORITE neighborhood dog walker. I noticed you have a precious pup and I’d love to be their new walking buddy that lives right next door :) Whether you’ve got a zoomie machine or a mellow couch potato, I’ve got the energy and experience for both (hello, former husky handler 🙋♀️). After caring for an endlessly energetic husky, I’ve learned no walk is too long, no zoomies too wild, and no amount of shedding too much. If your dog needs a walking buddy or a sitter while you’re away, I’m just a few doors down. What I offer: 🐾 Fun, sniff-filled dog walks/runs/sprints 🐾 Daytime check-ins and in-home dog sitting 🐾 Extra care for high-energy or older pups 🐾 Last-minute availability 🐕🦺🏃♀️ I have worked with puppies as young as two months old, and welcome the opportunity to care for the full spectrum of pups! For the high-energy, I am always happy to go on more strenuous walks for example, up the Queen Anne hill, long walks around Lake Union, or sprints down by Elliot Bay Trail. Please reach out to learn more or set up a introductory in-person connect to see how we all gel together :) I work a hybrid schedule during the week so: 📆 Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays I am available all-day for walks or in-home sitting 📆 Mondays & Wednesdays I can go on walks or do in-home sitting after 3pm 📆 Weekends I am available all-day for boarding, in-home sitting or walks When I care for pets—whether in my home or yours—I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. After spending lots of time with a super high-energy husky, I’ve learned how to keep things calm, structured, and fun. I stick to their routines, pay attention to their cues, and make sure they get the play, exercise, and chill time they need. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, patience, and belly rubs along the way. 🌿 I have a rooftop with a dog area that I would spend time at with my husky who loved basking in the hedges. I live nearby plenty of parks and green areas perfect for walks and prancing with other dogs ~ if the dog I am caring for is comfortable playing with other dogs, of course!
“Rachel was very attentive to my shy rescue dog's individual needs. My dog got exercise and socialization while I was at work, and I got pictures and updates. Will book again. ?”
“Nuria and her partner are so wonderful! I was a bit nervous having someone come walk my pup for the first time and they were nice enough to do a meet and greet beforehand to learn about my little guy and make sure I was comfortable. They sent photos from the walk and put him back in his pen with his peanut butter kong. Gus seemed like a very happy guy. I would absolutely use them again!”
“Victoria is amazing! She is an excellent communicator and very professional. She and Bmy dog Betty get along great! Betty has a few health concerns and behavioral issues which Victoria carefully attends to! Plus, she always sends me a great photo shoot of my pup! I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have been around pets my whole life and have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I was the lucky parent of an energetic doggo and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I would love to get to know yours! My job gives me a flexible schedule with regular remote work making it easy and enjoyable for me to get out on walks, etc. I am accustomed to scheduling my days around making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I understand the importance of keeping to routines and am happy to maintain whatever schedules, crating, training, etc. that is best for your pet. I am a clean and tidy person and well practiced in cleaning up after pets.

Michelle R.
“I can’t say enough good things about the care and love Michelle gave Zyla, our white husky, during her first year of life. From the moment she was just a two-month-old ball of energy, she was in the best hands. Potty training, basic commands, behavior shaping—it was all handled with incredible patience, consistency, and love. Zyla went on daily long walks full of sniffing, sprinting, and exploring, which helped burn off that signature husky energy in the best way. But it wasn’t just about exercise—her mental stimulation was just as important. Puzzle toys, training games, and thoughtful enrichment activities were part of her everyday life. She was fed nutritious meals tailored to her growing needs, and every detail of her health and behavior was closely monitored—from energy levels to anything out of the ordinary. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was being cared for like family by Michelle. I truly believe Zyla’s foundation of confidence, health, and good behavior is thanks to that attentive and loving care.”

“Helen is exactly the responsible, caring, and reliable pet sitter one would hope for! She took care of my pup, CJ (energetic PWD) - I felt completely at ease knowing Helen was there, and CJ had an absolute blast. Helen knows how to make any dog feel relaxed and cared for - Couldn't recommend more!”
Westlake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Aymane was great with my fur baby, Clover. Aymane's super patient in letting her warm up to him, which I greatly appreciated because she can be nervous around new people. Aymane was attentive to her body language and needs. I'll definitely be requesting Aymane again!
Thank you so much Victoria for walking Kiwi on such short notice! It was very reassuring to know she was in great caring hands for her midday adventure. Victoria gave Kiwi fresh water and sent lots of pics. I will definitely be reaching out again for more pet care in the future.
