Dog Walkers in Agate Bay, WA

“Our new-to-us 12 1/2 year old Havanese rescue did very well with Michael’s care during our first afternoon outing since we adopted him. We have already scheduled another longer stay next month. We really appreciate all the dog friendly security and thoughtful enrichment activities Michael provides. Charlie was the better for the experience! Highly recommended.”

About: Training my two aussie shepherd girls is a passion of mine, we herd sheep a couple times a week. I am proud to say I can keep up with them, although raising an aussie puppy is not for the faint of heart! They deserve adventures so I take them to new places with new smells and I would be happy to help your pup experience the world in a new way too! If you're not comfortable with that, they are safe in my home too 💚 Pet care is a full-time job and I treat it as such. Fur babies in my home get enrichment via toys, puzzles, treats and exercise- happy to train your doggo under 90lbs to use our treadmill! We go out to herd a few times a week and get outdoors every day, rain or shine :) My pets are my family. They deserve to be safe, healthy, and comfortable. I understand that it is a deep honor to afford them the freedom and attention they deserve and I dont take the responsibility lightly.

“Erin has been an amazing daily walker for our dog Penny! She is always very responsive and reliable, and super sweet with our girl. Penny also recently spent the weekend boarding at Erin’s house, and she was treated very well and made some new friends! We will definitely continue to use Erin for taking care of our puppy.”

About: Even though I am studying Marine Biology I have a passion for all animals. From dogs and cats to rats and reptiles, even insects and arachnids. When my family got our puppy and COVID gifted us with 4 cats I deep dove into animal body language, boundaries, training, needs, and a variety of other things. I also have some experience with newborn kitten care when they don't have a mom to provide. I have helped with thepittieprojectpnw (which is an amazing nonprofit that focuses on rescuing pit bulls on death row or has come from a bad situation to give them a second chance. So I've dealt with reactive dogs, that are not comfortable around other dogs/humans and are traumatized/healing from an experience. I also have some experience with dogs with health problems. One of my dogs has EPI and the other has diabetes. Just with humans, I believe its crucial to learn about animal's emotional, physical, and health needs. Pets or not. I work part time as a lifeguard, my schedule changes every 3 months or so but otherwise it’s consistent weekly, the longest days I work are 5 hours. I mainly work on weekends but can always coordinate with you if you need someone for the weekend. I find it important to know the boundaries and needs of animals and to know when to back off and just let them be. (within reason). I am careful with what and who pets interact with. I like to slowly introduce myself and let them come to me. I am also very careful about what has been left out/what a pet could get into and ingest.

About: I am a nurse in real life with lots of downtime and ready to also take care of your furry loved one. I have plenty of experience dog sitting all types of dogs in my home and love to do so to keep me company as well. I am a nurse with lots of free time for your beloved pet. I have a week off every other week and I’m available every Saturday. I’m also available all mornings and afternoons. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with almost everyone owning an animal. My apartment is one the 1st floor so no stairs or elevators required and I do have a large fenced patio. There is a large on-leash dog area across from my apartment with tons of walking trails as well. My apartment is very spacious and I allow pets in my furniture/bed. I’m around to ensure the safety of your pet whether in my home or yours. When it comes to dog walking, I always check surroundings and pick the safest routes away from busy streets/areas.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

“Camille was responsive in communication, arrived promptly, flexible with times when needed, and Sassa loved walking with her. I'm very grateful for her support in caring for my dog.”

About: I've taken care of dogs who love everyone and those who are as choosy as cats in their people. I share my home with four cats, each one with their own style of pets and play (and their own diets). Every animal, just like every person, has their own personality. My goal is to pay attention and interact with them in a way that makes them feel safe, loved, and...if they're up for it...entertained. Need someone to walk your canine companions for a couple miles and then follow detailed instructions on which doggo gets what food and treats? That's me. Does your cat need someone to feed it and then sit in quietly in the same room for company without insisting on pets? That's me, too. Additionally, I have experience with administering medication to both cats and dogs (pills, inhalers, injections). I'm a remote-first professional, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Animals thrive with consistent routines, so I make a point to arrive on time and follow all owner directions. I regularly book between 7 AM and 9 PM, but currently my schedule is tight. Morning appointments are available if timing is flexible +\- a couple hours. My goal is to ensure that pets feel as safe and loved. Animals thrive on routine, so I'll be on time and follow your directions to ensure as much normalcy as possible while you're away. I have four cats, all of whom have different diets, play styles, and stranger tolerance, so I'm used to paying close attention to details. I'll earn your pets' trust by following your directions and adapting my approach to their needs. As a pet parent, I understand the importance of knowing how your companions are doing while you're away. I'll always check in with you and include pictures and updates. I'll never hesitate to reach out if I have any concerns or questions. While your pet is in my care, they are my number one priority.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with our dog walker! She is absolutely wonderful with our fur babies. From the moment she arrives, their tails start wagging—they truly love their walks with her. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with their pets!”

“Autumn was great and Blaze enjoyed his walk with her. She showed up on time and was available for a last minute request. Would book her again.”

“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

Rachel A.

“Was on time, very personable and Yogi Bear had a great walk with her! He is looking forward to more walks.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.

About: Hi there! I'm hoping to make some new furry friends. I’m a social worker who works 8:30-5pm Tuesday-Friday. I enjoy long walks or just chilling at home playing in the yard. I've cared for many dogs in the past and I feel very comfortable with them. I grew up with a big German Shepard. I've worked as an in-home caregiver, so I am used to coming into new homes and house-sitting, if that is what you need. I’ve trained as a yoga meditation teacher and I have a calm and gentle, non-threatening personality, which dogs respond well and curiously to. I hope I can meet your pup soon! Thanks! I have a flexible work schedule, often driving all over SE Whatcom County. Would love to walk your dog or just check in in the during the day. I will treat your home with respect and follow any expectations set for the best possible situation for your pet. I am used to home visits and in home caregiving.

“Skylar is awesome. She's great with my puppy even though he's a bit of a brat. 😂 I highly recommend her.”

About: I have been a dog owner for seven years and a volunteer at Whatcom Humane Society for two years. I’ve learned valuable skills at WHS and gone through many hours of training to learn animal behavior and body language. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all ages including kittens, puppies, and seniors. I’m consistently working with animals who have behavioral issues such as overstimulation, petting aggression, and severe fearfulness. I have cared for lots of different personalities and I will adapt to what your pet needs. I’m a full time student at WWU with a part time job, so my bookings are fairly limited. I’ll be more likely to be available during weekends, breaks, and holidays, but feel free to reach out whenever! I can keep your pet company for just a few hours or stay overnight. I will read every instruction given and do my best to uphold their routine, giving you lots of updates and pictures. I would love to meet you and your pet before the stay to make sure it’s a good fit. I charge a distance fee of $5 per day for 10+ miles out from my address.

About: I really enjoy meeting all kinds of cats and dog and appreciate their quirky personalities. It's especially great when I get the change to develop relationships with them from repeat connections. I'm current unemployed and will likely be working online part-time, seeking work, or doing online research projects. So, my time and place are very flexible. One of my dogs is difficult/unpredictable with other dogs, so I'm likely to do care away. (My dogs are probably a little TOO interested in cats.)

About: Hello! I am lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with multiple cats and currently have my own very loved + spoiled cat at home! I regularly dog walk and pet sit for my fellow nursing coworkers. This includes walks, some overnight visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! Animals truly bring me joy, and I'll care for your pets like they're my own :) I currently work full time at the hospital but start at 11am and end at 730pm. I am happy to swing by in the mornings and after work! I also have every Wednesday, Thursday, and every other weekend off. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always respect your pets routine, boundaries, and do whatever they need to help them feel safe and happy while you are away! I am happy to provide walks, drop in visits, or overnight stays. While I am unable to host pets in my own home because of my cat, I am very comfortable caring for your pets in their environment where they can feel the most comfortable and safe!
