Dog Walking Ames Lake

About: Caring for your dog will be the highlight of my day! I grew up with Bernese Mountain dogs and have always loved all animals. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as the responsibility that comes with caring for them day to day. Over the years, I’ve also watched friends’ dogs ranging from small poodle mixes to large labs, each with their own personalities and needs. I’m happy to take your dog on walks or do in-home drop-in visits. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals so I'll cherish the time I get to spend with yours! I’m attentive, calm, and treat pets like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I'm working full time from home and have a very flexible job. I'm available to check in on your pet most days and am happy to come by whenever works best for you. I am happy to come and check in on your pet and give them whatever care is needed in your home or take them out for a walk.

About: Not only do I believe that dog is a man’s best friend – I also know for a fact that dogs are a girl’s best friend. I am the proud mom of Alice (a miniature poodle) and her “wiggle-worm body”. She is now a senior dog so I have a LOT of experience with them. I also have a terrier named Mia who is 6. Dogs give you unconditional love, all the attention you could need and a wonderful sense of purpose. Pets have always been a part of my life and I love all dogs – big and small. To me, pets have always been a part of my family. It’s important to me to have someone reliable and trustworthy take care of Alice while I am traveling and I strive to do the same for others. You should be able to rest assured while you are away that your furry family members are well taken care of. I take extra time to get to know your pet and develop a relationship with them (and you!). I want to ensure that your dog is not only well loved while you are away but that you return to a happy and healthy pup. I have been a pet sitter for years now - taking care of friends and families pets while they are away. I am experienced in taking care of young and old dogs as well as maintaining your obedience training requirements. Why I love dog sitting For my whole life! My family has always had dogs and all sorts of animals. I've grown up with a love for all things furry. I have lots of experience in training dogs and have done so since I was a kid. My experience administering medication Not a problem. I have to give this daily to my own pups. I work from home most of the week but I do go into the office on Tuesday and Thursday. I am normally gone those days from 8:30am to 4:00. The rest of the time I will be there for walks and snuggles all day. I dont take dogs at my house because of my senior dog but I would love to come to your so it is less stress on your babies!

“Great w/ communication and pictures. Very grateful!”

About: Hi! I am Isabelle and I would love to help take care of your dog or cat! I am a recent Purdue graduate and my passion for animals has driven me to pursue pet sitting while saving money for school! I grew up my entire life with 2 Boxer dogs, and I now currently have a cat as well. I love to explore new trails and outdoor spaces with my dog, and I am committed to ensuring their safety and happiness while under my care. I have a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of dogs and cats, and I am confident in my ability to provide the highest level of care for your furry family members. I am open to drop-in visits, as well as dog walks! My schedule is flexible and your pet care is my priority! If you are interested in working with me, please contact me and would love more details about your dog or cat! As a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, and I make it a priority to cater to these requirements. My daily routine includes feeding, watering, and administering medication (if required) at the appropriate times, as well as cleaning up after pets and ensuring their living space is tidy and comfortable. When it comes to dog walking, I aim to incorporate at least one or two walks per day, depending on the dog's energy level and schedule. I enjoy exploring new routes and ensuring that dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Additionally, I always make time for playtime and cuddles with pets, as I understand the importance of socialization and affection in their daily lives. When caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. This includes a designated living space with plenty of bedding, toys, and food and water bowls. I also ensure that they receive regular exercise, playtime, and attention. When caring for pets in the client's home, I make sure to follow their established routines and schedules. I also make sure to keep in touch with clients and provide regular updates on their pets' well-being!

“Rachel has been wonderful with our dog, Hazel. She’s been taking Hazel on long weekday walks and has truly gone above and beyond. Hazel used to pull and get easily distracted on walks, which made them challenging, and Rachel immediately offered to work with her on loose-leash walking. In just a short time, Hazel has improved so much and is now walking calmly, paying attention, and doing great on leash. Rachel is incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She sends thoughtful updates and the cutest photos, and Hazel absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she arrives. We’re so grateful to have found Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog walker.”

“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!”

“Briana arrived at my home for a dog walk exactly as planned. She was thoughtful and messaged before to make sure there was nothing else needed while she was watching my pup. She took a number of pictures for me. I'll absolutely use Briana again!”

About: I LOVE dogs of all types, especially medium to large breeds that love to walk. I have owned multiple dogs at one time and we live in a great location, by the river with lots of trails & dog friendly walking terrain. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to roam, allowing for frisbee & ball play time keeping the pups & humans engaged. Your fur friend will not be alone & we will offer free pets, walks & play time, as we have a pup as well who is Mr. Social! I’m currently working part time as a fitness coach close by & sub teacher & generally home most of the time. I love medium to large dogs, but just recently lost our 17 year old little dog. I have a fully fenced yard and always monitor our dogs outside. Inside, we use a fenced off area to keep dogs out of kitchen & downstairs. I prefer no dogs on furniture and up to date on vaccines.

“Cynthia has been fantastic, and I’m so grateful to have found her. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond for our pets. What really stands out is her willingness to help when unexpected situations come up—she has even made special last-minute trips to walk our dogs when we’ve been unexpectedly pulled away from home. It gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our pets are in such capable and compassionate hands. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter or dog walker.”

“Nicolas has been such a huge help with my girls!! They’re not the easiest to walk because one is old and stubborn and the other is young and wants to run, and he’s great with them. :)”

Allison B.

“Chufan was great. She was very punctual and took lots of pics during the walk. Teddy seemed to enjoy his walk, would definitely recommend Chufan.”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than 30 years, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m an experienced dog owner that has managed two doggie day cares, and I treat every dog in my care like I would want someone to treat my own. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes your dog happiest—whether that means an energetic walk, lots of playtime, belly rubs, quiet companionship or simply keeping their normal routine consistent while you’re away. Reliability is extremely important to me. When I commit to caring for your dog, you can count on me to show up, follow your instructions and keep you updated so you don't have to wonder how things are going. I especially enjoy building ongoing relationships with dogs and their families, so recurring walks and drop-in clients are always welcome! What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 Lots of love, attention and individualized care 🐾 Dependable and timely visits 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog's energy level 🐾 Feeding, fresh water and routine care 🐾 Playtime, cuddles and companionship 🐾 Photos and updates during visits 🐾 Careful attention to your instructions and your dog's normal routine 🐾 Respect for your home during drop-ins and overnight stays 🐾🐾Dog Walking🐾🐾 Walks aren't one-size-fits-all. Some dogs want to power walk and explore while others would happily spend half the walk investigating one particularly fascinating bush! I'll match the walk to your dog's age, personality and energy level while making sure they have a safe and enjoyable outing. ◇30-minute and 60-minute walks available.◇ 🐾🐾Drop-In Visits🐾🐾 Drop-ins are perfect for dogs who are happiest staying in their own home. During visits I can provide potty breaks, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication according to your instructions, playtime and plenty of attention. I'll also send you an update and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. ◇30-minute and 60-minute visits available.◇ 🐾🐾Overnight House Sitting🐾🐾 Going away shouldn't mean your dog has to give up the comfort of home. With overnight house sitting, I'll stay with your dog in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime routines and lots of companionship. I understand that trusting someone inside your home is a big decision, so I take that responsibility seriously and will treat both your pets and your home with respect. 🐾🐾Meet & Greet🐾🐾 I offer a complimentary meet & greet before the first booking whenever possible. It gives your dog a chance to meet me while you're there, allows you to show me their routine, and gives us time to discuss feeding, walks, behaviors, medications, favorite toys, quirks and anything else you'd like me to know. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable before the first visit. 🐾My Favorite Kind of Client🐾 I love working with pet parents who consider their dogs members of the family. Whether you need an occasional sitter, someone you can rely on every week, or simply a trustworthy person to give your dog some attention while you're at work, I'd love to meet you and your pup. ❤️🐶Serving Bellevue and nearby Eastside neighborhoods. 🐶❤️ I am open ALL WEEK, any hours to provide for your pup while you are busy during the week or away on vacation. I would love to get your furbaby the individualized love and attention they deserve. Going away shouldn't mean your dog has to give up the comfort of home.

“I cannot say enough about the 5 star job Jennifer did. She went above and beyond always a smile. My dog loves her and her daughter Luna was a great treat giver. Jennifer saved me and my dog during my injury. Darbey always came back from his walk with a smile😁🐶🤩”
