Dog Walking Alki

“Susan is amazing! Great communication, pictures and goes above and beyond with my silly reactive pup. Jessie gets soooooo excited to see her and I’m so thankful we’ve found such a sweet reliable walker!”

Becky H.

“Jess is prompt and attentive when walking our pup. She has been super patient while he adjusts to being walked by a new person and always keeps us informed about how he does on walks. I highly recommend Jess for any of your pet care needs.”

About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My oldest cat is 18 and was the very first pet I brought home on my own. We’ve been through so many of life’s ups and downs together, and along the way, we’ve welcomed more furry family members into our life. Each one has taught us something new—especially about the wide range of cattitudes and unique personalities we can all have. It’s always been important to me that my pets feel loved and safe, even when I’m not right there with them. I want your pets to feel that same love and comfort when you’re away, too. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle and routine, making pet sitting a perfect extension of how I live day to day. I work in healthcare operations in a flexible hybrid role, which allows me to adapt my schedule based on the needs of the pets I’m caring for. When I’m booked, I stay in the pet’s home to keep their environment as comfortable and familiar as possible—something I’ve found really helps them feel safe and relaxed while their people are away. I’m based in West Seattle and love spending my time walking or running around our beautiful neighborhood—anywhere from 4 to 13 miles a day—so active dogs especially enjoy staying on the move with me. I’m an explorer at heart, and having a furry companion by my side just makes every outing that much better. I am a quiet solo cat mom who cherishes every opportunity to spend time with animals and let them feel loved when their main squeeze is away. I strive to keep a pets routine the same as it always is to not add to the stress of their already missing you, even if they don’t want to admit it.

“Racheal took awesome care to walk Apollo while we were away for a few days!”

About: My 4 cats can loudly attest to my animal-whispering abilities. So can my 2 dogs back home. Grew up in a household with dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits (the list goes on!) in all stages of life, so I’ve got lots of experience dealing with pet problems and dishing out love! Currently between jobs, so I have very flexible availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. Happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, or longer stays with plenty of notice. I've also got a car so I can drive to you and transport your pets if needed. I prefer caring for pets in their own home when possible, where they're at their happiest and most confident. I can also host pets at my apartment depending on the situation. I have a large balcony and four cats of my own, so we’ll just make sure everyone is a good match beforehand.

“Rachael did a great job caring for our small dog who isn’t the friendliest to strangers. She took him on long walks and was great at communicating with us. Would definitely use her again.”

About: We have owned and cared for a variety of dogs over the past 40 years and given them a loving home. We just lost our family dog, Sake, an Akita mix and my husband and I are now empty nesters and looking to spoil and care for your dog! In addition to being great animal lovers, we are very organized and pay great attention to details. This will allow us to take excellent care all the special needs your dog has. I work from home and have time to give your pet extra attention, care and good walks! I work from home and have time to give your pet extra attention, care and good walks! I am able to accommodate any special scheduling for care you need for your pet. We own our own home in a very walkable neighborhood and also have a fenced in back yard. There are no children or any other pets in our home and we can spend time dedicated to all the needs of your dog. We are only interested in caring for well-behaved and trained adult dogs.

“Melanie is our dog, Rowdy’s FAVORITE!!! And I’m not even kidding. He forgets all about us when she strolls up! And she sends us the cutest pics of their adventures! I kinda want to keep her a secret ... but that would be bad ... right?? We love her!!!”

About: I love animals and have always had pets of my own. Other than Rover, I am a nanny with a very flexible schedule. I have the schedule where if you need me to pop in for play and a walk or stay at the house.. I'm available! I have dog/pet sat for many of the families I have worked for for several years now. I am comfortable with any size, breed, or temperament. I love to take them for walks, to the dog park, or wherever else your pup wants to go. I am fine with anxious dogs and have no problem administering oral medications. Ultimately I want your pet to enjoy their time with me and I'm excited to meet everyone!

“Thank you to Alyssa for being such a sweet and kind dog lover! My boy was so happy on his walk and play date. Alyssa had wonderful communication and let me know how everything was going throughout the visit. We are so grateful and highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life. From Aussie puppies to aging 16 year old fosters, I've done it all and know exactly how to care for every dogs needs. I volunteer for Old Dog Haven fostering hospice dogs and have cared for dozens of dogs. I am very skilled with rescues and shy/anxious dogs as well as more fun playful types. My fully fenced yard provides plenty of space for play and exercise with 100% supervision. I love dogs! I'm currently home 24/7 so your dogs will have company the entire time they're with me. I have a fully fenced yard for the dogs to play in, as well as multiple (some say too many) dog beds around the house. There are nearly hundreds of toys around the house to keep the dogs plenty busy. I have scheduled dog walks every morning, midday, and afternoon/evening for the dogs that prefer walks over outdoor backyard time. A typical day will include breakfast and lounging, a walk around the neighborhood, a few treats, some playtime in the yard, and relaxing into the evening with dinner. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, Beef and Winkle. Beef is a 2 y/o and loves active play, and Winkle is a foster dog from Old Dog Haven who could lounge all day every day and be more than happy. I meet every dog where they're at and make sure they get what they need to have a good time!

About: I grew up with every sort of animal imaginable, and I'm always happy to spend time with all the cats, dogs, birds, and other critters out there when I have the chance. I have extensive experience caring for animals all over the world including off-grid, remote, and city environments. I am semi-retired and location independent. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm happy to work with pet parents on making mutually agreeable pet care schedules. I am happy to stay with pets in their own homes to ensure that they get the care and attention to which they are accustomed.

“Alexa is a pro. She is responsive, punctual, and professional. We received awesome photo and text updates. Our dog hasn’t spent a lot of time with new people and we were so relieved to learn that he adjusted quickly to her and we plan to hire her again and again.”

“Moon loves spending time with Jamie! We are so grateful we're in the same neighborhood and that Jamie is able to take Moon on walks at lunch. He loves getting a bit of love in the middle of the day!”

About: Pets have always been my saving grace navigating through life. I don’t cry at funerals, but when my late bulldog passed the only thing that got me through was his little sister, Connie - my little girl English Bulldog. I currently have a full time job (fly fishing industry) and am available mornings and evenings everyday, with mondays and Tuesday being open all day and night. I have one young olde English Bulldog named Connie, she’s a lover and very affectionate. We live on the beach down on Alki in a small studio. She’s my entire world, comes to work with me occasionally but prefers to lounge and nap most of the time (she’s a bulldog after all…)

About: Hi! I’ve had my cat for 8 years and cared for large dogs, cats, kittens, and aquatic pets. My tuxedo is a big baby at 15 pounds. She wants what she wants and I am here to provide cuddles and space as desired. I’ve fostered large dogs and kittens. I’ve had aquariums with fish, shrimp, aquatic frogs, and my axolotl. If you have other pets that need care let’s chat! I’ll take care your pets so they know that someone is there for them. Whether that be through walks, play, or just sitting with them across the room (cats know). I'm currently between jobs so my schedule is flexible. I try to make recurring visits at the same time of day so your pet can have a routine while you're away. I like to meet pets where they're at whether that be immediate play and snuggles or a slower build up. I've cared for various personalities with my own pets and fosters. I've worked with shy fosters to go from hiding in a corner to sleeping on my bed and asking for snuggles. I'll make sure your pets have what they need and then see what they want to do.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Gabrielle is thoughtful, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. I appreciate how flexible and attentive she is throughout the process. I feel comfortable trusting her with Oogie and would gladly book with her again.”

“Kate and her husband were super flexible and were able to walk our two dogs last minute! They had a great time, and Kate took lots of pictures, so we know our furry friends were in good hands.”
