Dog Walkers in Beaux Arts Village, WA

“Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite

“I really appreciated Toki for taking care of my dog. He's really experienced and reliable dog walker. And he's really good at communication. We will ask him for help in the future and we would recommend him to others.”

About: Hello! Here’s a little bit about me. I am currently a kindergarten teacher and I was born and raised in Washington. I would love a pet of my own, but I am not home enough during the school year. I’d love to be your pets new best friend while you’re away! The services I will be offering are drop-in visits and dog walks. I’ve looked after many dogs and cats in my lifetime (dog sitting, dog walking, drop-ins for my friends cats, etc.). I also used to have a dog of my own! I look forward to taking care of your pet and giving them attention and love while you’re away. As previously mentioned, I am a teacher. Most of the time, I am in my classroom teaching students how to read, write and count! But, in my free time, I’d love to play with/take care of some adorable dogs and cats. I have a lot of time after work and a lot of free time on weekends. Additionally, we have lots of breaks and three-day weekends throughout the school year where I’m typically free. During the summer, I’ll be the most active on this app because we have two months off! I will most likely not offer services that give pets the opportunity stay with me in my apartment, but when I am in your home I will be respectful of your space and leave everything exactly how it was.

About: I walk small dogs in Bellevue and genuinely enjoy every minute of it. You can expect a reliable, attentive walker who pays close attention to your dog's comfort and behavior — and always keeps you in the loop. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time, which means I'm never rushing through a visit. I already have a daily routine with my own two cats — feeding, playtime, litter, and just being present with them. To me, that consistency is the foundation of a happy cat's life, and I bring that same approach to every pet I care for. I follow your routines to ensure your pet remains comfortable in its familiar surroundings. Before every visit I like to ask the important details — whether your cat goes outside, tends to sit on open windows, chews on plants, or has any habits I should know about. I ask all the necessary questions to cover every detail and maintain open communication throughout.

“Jackie was great with Kodiak - he was a happy puppy! She is reliable, easy to work with, low key, but high energy with dogs. So happy we found her!”

“My dog Freya is very particular about the humans she likes and she immediately took to Hunter. Hunter is super knowledgeable when it comes to animal behavior and she is amazing with Freya. Every time she sends a pic of their walks Freya is always smiling. We love Hunter and so happy to have found her 💜”

About: I’ve grown up caring for my own beagle, so I know firsthand what dogs need to feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with senior dogs and understand how to give them the extra patience and gentle care they deserve. I’m a college student home for the summer taking online classes, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention and care they need throughout the day. I provide care at my clients’ homes and on walks, so your dog stays comfortable in familiar surroundings. Whether it’s sticking to their routine at home or getting their energy out on a walk, I make sure they’re happy, safe, and well looked after.

“We are grateful to have found Jacquelyn! She did great with our dog and rabbit, going out of her way to drive our boy to a flat area for a walk. She sent a ton of cute pictures which showed they were both very happy. Followed all of our instructions and was an excellent communicator. We look forward to having her help out again soon!”

“Our puppy girl had a great time with Dacya--she came home from the park well exercised and happy. Dacya is a great communicator and sent me lots of pics and videos and made me worry-free at work. Highly recommend Dacya and will definitely book her for future walks.”

“My pups were very excited for their walks with Blanca; she kept me in the loop regarding their day and activities. It was a great first experience with this service”

About: I've been around cats and dogs most of my life and have a deep love and affection for them. As well, I recently started volunteering at Seattle Humane. I'm currently doing this part time, so I'm pretty flexible on availability on weekdays between Monday-Thursday. Though, for drop-ins, my clearest availability is between 8am-2pm. But again, I’m flexible. I can do overnights between 5pm-9am. I try to bring a calm, kind demeanor to the environment to put the cat(s) at ease; I will scoop the litter box, feed them, and if they show interest, play with them, and if not, I give them their space!

“Olivia responded quickly to my dog’s need for a walk! She was flexible and attentive and made sure we found a time that worked. It went so well that I have booked 4 more walking sessions. She is intuitive with my dogs needs and truly cares about what is best for him.”

“Bibiana was great! We really appreciated her clear communication and our dog, Blueberry, loved her. We would definitely ask Bibiana to walk our dog again. Thank you!”

“Akiva has been a fantastic friend and walker to our Blue Heeler puppy. She absolutely adores him because he makes walks fun, positive, and rewarding. We’re grateful for his calm and confident presence and positive reinforcement. Our dog can be very stubborn and he is always patient with her and with us. She gets so excited to see him and it’s a huge relief to us that she’s in capable and thoughtful hands. We highly recommend Akiva!”
