Dog Walking Ballard

About: I've been around animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I've cared for older more needy pets, as well as those who need lots of play and attention. Each animal is a unique individual, and I love getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and as a cat parent of 3, I understand how to "speak" cat vs dog! But don't be fooled - I may be a "cat lady", but I love dogs just as much! I'm experienced in walking, playing, and caring for dogs of all sizes. I also love to send pictures and updates so you continue to have peace of mind while away from home. I'm a self-employed artist, so my schedule is super flexible! Whether you need a quick drop in or an extended stay, I have plenty of time to spend with your animal friend! My goal is to provide individualized care, so when you book with me, we'll chat about your specific pet and home needs. I know how important it is to have someone who trust taking care of your pets (they're members of your family)! I've cared for pets in both small apartments, and big homes with yards, so happy to accommodate in whatever way you think is best for you and your pet.

“Felix is an absolutely phenomenal dog walker, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From day one, it was clear how incredibly detail-oriented he is. I always looked forward to his playful, creative reports after every single walk, not to mention the steady stream of great photos and videos he sent. It gave me so much peace of mind during the day. What really sets Felix apart is his professional background. Knowing he has experience training champion boxers made me completely confident during our initial meet-and-greet. I have a 65 lb reactive Belgian Malinois mix, Murphy, and finding someone who can safely and confidently handle him is tough. Felix’s expertise shined through immediately, and he handles Murphy like a total pro. If you need someone reliable, highly skilled, and genuinely invested in your dog's well-being, Felix is your guy!”

About: I have been trusted with friends and families fur babies for almost 8 years, and had many years living with dogs as well. I have experience giving medication, caring for dogs in times of stress and anxiety, and of course going on daily walks. I have stayed overnight with dogs whose parents are out of town and I have experience with bigger dogs, as well as smaller breeds. I have also cared for a wide array of personalities as all dogs are very different, I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and how to have a good time with them. I work part time and have plenty of mornings available for pet care, I only work late nights once or twice a week and am almost always available after 8/9pm if needed. I am often going on a walk daily and bringing a dog along with me is even better! I am always making sure to cater to a dogs wants and needs, whether that be outside time running laps and playing fetch, or having down time inside and just hanging out. I understand that each dogs needs are different and being able to provide them with a fulfilling day is something I love!

“Paula was super responsive and showed up promptly for her walks with Brandy. We got very detailed cards after each walk and Brandy was a happy pup when we got home. We’ve already booked Paula for future walks and dog sitting!”

“Justin is reliable and communicated quickly and efficiently. He went out of his way to make sure Lili was taken care of even when he was given the wrong address on a miserable day in Seattle. I would definitely trust him with Lili again!”

About: Dog and cat lover with senior experience and medication care. Reliable, attentive, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I know how important pets are to families. My routine is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I work only as a pet sitter and manage my own schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care needs. I’m intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully accommodate, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around a pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet safety is my top priority. Before a booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, and any special needs. I also like to do a Meet & Greet so I can make sure I understand the owner’s expectations and the pet’s behavior.

“Kinsley is great! She took the extra time to make sure my pups felt comfortable before taking them for a long walk! I am very particular with whom I trust my dogs with, and felt very at ease and comfortable having Kinsey in my home. She is very professional and put together a nice post-walk report card with a summary and pictures of my pups on their walk. Overall, I would highly recommend Kinsley for dog walking services!”

About: Since before I could babysit children I’ve been walking, taking care of and loving my own animals+neighbors and other family member’s. I’ve had both dogs and cats, high and low energy so I’ve been able to learn to care for any sort of personality! I love going to the dog park and letting my family’s dog swim! I nanny children part time in the afternoons Monday-Friday but am very flexible as the kids are older+self sufficient. I also take care of their two large dogs, we go to the Magnuson dog park weekly. My mornings and evenings are always free, but also a car so can be available in the afternoons as well. I live in a larger house with a fenced back yard, plenty of space for dogs to run around in. As far as cats go, I have a large room of my own that can be closed at all times to familiarize and make it feel safe. As far as coming to others peoples homes I believe I can read animals pretty well and have a lot of patience. If they are shy I always wait and let them come to me!

“My dogs were very happy with Isabella. She was living, attentive and patient. She took them for good walks and took good care of them.”
