Dog Walking in Ballard, Seattle

“Reza was great and very patient with Mika (who is very anxious and fearful of new people). I recommend Reza to anyone looking for an understanding dog lover to take care of your precious pup.”

“Adrian has been a wonderful companion to Beckett for the last few weeks. She is calm and happy, punctual, and takes great care of him on their walks! I look forward to working with Adrian for as long as she is willing and able!!”

About: Hi! Apart from having two incredible dogs at home, I have been dogsitting for years, both day-to-day and overnight. My family grew up fostering dogs, impressing a deep love for ALL puppies, no matter how unique they may be. I’m also a licensed EMT and have been working as one for years, meaning I can keep my cool even in super stressful situations. I also genuinely love dogs — all of my friends know that I can’t pass another dog without asking to say hello. Let me help you out by providing responsible and quality care for your best friend!!!! I’m here visiting family short-term, so I don’t have another job at the moment. I’m available pretty much all day, every day! I love the city and love hiking and exploring and so long and/or frequent walks will not be an issue for me. I have two dogs at home, and my family has always prioritized outdoor enrichment and active play with them. I really believe that dogs need ample time outside to sniff and play and run, and I’ll do anything I can to provide that experience for them, granted it’s a safe environment. I also believe that dogs deserve love and kisses and treats (within reason 😉), and you can count on me to provide your puppy with a loving, as well as active and engaging experience while you’re gone.

“She is amazing with our dog Nyla. Megan is very respectful, super nice and help us with Nyla walking training too. Overall I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with animals all my life— both big and small! I currently have a 75 lb golden retriever and two kitties, whom I adore greatly! I am practiced in walking large dogs but can absolutely walk smaller dogs, and absolutely love going on long walks! I’m not afraid to get messy if your dog wants to play, but I’m also very capable of walking senior dogs, who may need some gentler care. I’d love for the privilege of meeting and caring for your pups! I’m currently a college student on summer break so I am free practically all the time! Any time I spend not walking dogs is spent in my neighborhood pottery studio, or taking my own pup for a walk! Overall I am extremely flexible when it comes to time! However I do not drive so scheduling may be slightly limited by bus times and walk times! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog of my own, if your dog is dog-friendly and would like a buddy during day sitting! I have plenty of treats and water, of course, and carry them on me for walks, as well as a water bowl, in case any dogs need a water break! I air on the more cautious side during walks when it comes to interactions with strangers, unless specified that your dog is extremely friendly and well trained.

“Very responsive and kind. My pup is a bit reactive and barks a lot but Sabrina is very patient with her needs.”

Alyssa M.

“Christian was amazing with our 3 giant dogs. They can be intimidating due to their size and propensity for barking, but they immediately loved Christian and he had no issues managing them. Responsible, reliable…I almost hope you don’t book him so he has time for us since we will definitely be booking him more in the future.”

Michael S.

“Deanna is awesome and was super accommodating to my schedule. She takes great care of my 3yr old Aussie. We’ll definitely continue to book with her!”

Celestina N.

“Justin helped take care of our dog while we were away. Our dog is reactive and Justin did a great job of meeting his needs. Justin was communicative and responded to any questions we had. We would definitely use Justin again!”

Olivia J.

“great communication - easy to work with - will rebook for sure”

Morgan T.

“Caroline was so helpful with our little dude! He can be skeptical at first but he warmed up quickly to her. She helped us out on short notice too- will definitely use her again next time!”

Lauren J.

“Sarahjane is punctual, communicative, caring and responsive. We appreciate that she took an interest in learning about our dog’s quirks and behavior. She was also quick in picking up the specific cues and was able to effectively communicate with and lead our 70-lb dog. Our dog came back happy and we’re looking forward to having Sarahjane walk our dog more often!”

About: I provide reliable, loving care and dedicated attention to your pets when you can’t be there. With a strong commitment to trustworthiness, punctuality, and clear communication, I’ll treat your pets like family—so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. My passion for animal well-being means I go beyond just the basics to ensure your pets feel safe, cherished, and cared for. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, enrichment activities, or a peaceful walk, I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. I work mornings managing a childcare program, and I have a flexible schedule so I can easily accommodate daytime visits, evening check-ins, and extended house- or pet-sitting stays. Whether you need a dependable sitter while you're on vacation or a midday walk while you're at work, I’ve got you covered. I’m happy to stay overnight in your home or stop by for drop-in visits—whatever works best for you and your pet’s routine. I'm currently working mornings on a flexible schedule & aside from that, I generally set my own hours so I can accommodate most needs, including extended house- and pet-sitting. I can work in stops to play with or walk your pets. I can stay in your home and give your pets company, care, and attention on their regular schedule, or I can drop by on an arranged schedule for feeding, play, and/or walks.

“Dasha took great care of my senior beagle! She was very communicative and sent great pictures from their walks. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future :)”

About: Hi fellow dog lovers! I have been a dog photographer for a few years now, and I absolutely love meeting and capturing for everyone’s furry family members. And my customers told me the terrible stories about some of the kennel boarding facilities, I really had no choice than to give a home-away from home model for fellow residents pawrents. I will treat your dog like my own. It can be scary for both the owner and the dog to board with a stranger so would like every owner to know that I am willing to work as much with you and your dog to ensure everyone is happy. I send a lot of pictures and videos throughout the day to ensure you know your pup is well taken care of, and I truly hope we can make a home-away-from-home environment. I’m a full time dog photographer. My schedule is flexible and work by appointment only. I have a dog photo studio in South Lake Union and I can bring them to work so they are never alone. I had a Maltese at my family home for 15 years, but he passed away 3 years ago, and it still hurts. Now his love has become my guide to love back into others and I have officially adopted my own new family members, Monet and Lily. They both came from shelters in S. Korea. We have boarded them with other dogs, and they have done extremely well. If you dog is not ok with other dogs, I can be your day care sitter at my workplace during weekdays.

“Consistent, thoughtful, caring & thorough. Kaitlin really loves the animals she’s with. She gave Grace & Baylee exactly what they needed while we were away! Thank you so much!”

“Stacey is great. I highly recommend her. I felt completely confident she would communicate with me and take good care of my beloved for-legged friend.”

About: I grew up with a dachshund and have watched other pets several times in my adult life. I've hosted a small dog in my apartment for about 6 weeks, taking him for walks and sharing lots of cuddles and play time. I've house sat several times for a family with a boxer mix and an older orange cat and loved hanging out with them. I spent about 6 months living with a mini dachshund - I regularly took him for little walks and he would lay on my lap while we watched TV. I currently live with a golden doodle and often take care of her when her mom is away - making sure to take her for a walk and give her plenty of attention so she doesn't miss her human too much. I work remotely and can take frequent breaks throughout the day. Ideally, I'd like to spend some time with pets during the workday in addition to before and after work. I like to go out with friends once or twice a week but always plan ahead to make sure the pets are taken care of. I'm happy to follow any rules or expectations you have in your home and am also committed to building trust with your pets and respecting them so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was about 10. I know how to take care of all kinds of animals, as I have a bunch of pets of my own. I am currently off from university for the summer and I have enough free time to be able to pet sit or dog walk as much as needed! I live with my cats and my bearded dragon, they are very spoiled. I love animals and will love them like I love my own. I will do whatever I need to do to make sure they are happy and well taken care of!

“Kristen was great with our dog! She quickly became friends with our dog and I felt comfortable with him in her care.”
