Dog Walking in Bellevue

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

“Meng is great - easy to communicate with, punctual, and followed some complex instructions into our home.”

“Heather is the best! Heather provided timely and comprehensive updates while caring for our pup! I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

Haley B.

“Thank you so much for taking whiskey out! The communication and pictures were incredible for my anxiety and leaving my dog with someone new for the first time! I really appreciated all the real in time updates, quick responses, and overall care. They are a super reliable team that care deeply for your animals so couldn’t recommend enough!”

Marissa C.

“Laila was great! Very responsive and communicative. Arrived on time and dealt with my first Rover use anxieties like a pro. She even refilled Ruby’s water without me asking which was really appreciated since it was such a hot day. Would definitely use Laila again.”

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!

“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”

Melissa W.

“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 provide high-quality, attentive care backed by a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, birds, and small animals. As a current owner of two dogs and a cat, I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and trust when caring for pets. I’ve supported friends, family, and clients with everything from daily walks and structured routines to caring for puppies and senior pets requiring extra attention. I am highly observant, dependable, and focused on creating a calm, safe, and enriching environment. Every pet in my care is treated with the same level of attention and respect I expect for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I walk my own dogs every day, prepare their meals, and make sure they stay active, happy, and healthy, while also giving my cat plenty of attention, enrichment, and a calm, comfortable environment. Because I’m home, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet time for pets of all types. Your pet will always receive steady, thoughtful care. I treat every pet like family, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment tailored to their needs. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with a calm indoor space that’s comfortable for both dogs and cats. I’m attentive to routines, behavior, and individual needs, whether that means playtime, a quiet environment, or following feeding and medication schedules closely. I provide consistent updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also a plant lover and happy to care for houseplants, keeping your home thriving while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine love.

About: I treat your pets like my own family, blending 3+ years of Seattle pet-sitting experience with specialized care skills. Whether it’s administering medication, applying eye drops, or performing my signature ‘calming scalp massage’ to help with watery eye or anxiety, your pet’s health and comfort are my top priorities. From high-energy puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide a safe, loving, and professional environment. I live with my husband (profile pic 11) who often works from home and assists me with pet sitting, meaning your pet will benefit from the care and attention of two people. I have a highly flexible schedule. I am available throughout most of the week and during weekend afternoons and evenings. I can stick to your pet’s exact feeding or meds schedule and can tailor my visit length to your pet’s specific social needs, ensuring they never feel lonely while you’re away. Last-minute bookings are usually fine, just give me 24 hours’ notice if possible! I live right in front of a park, which is great because it’s quiet and my windows have the best 'Pet TV' to keep them entertained. In my home, it’s a calm, pet-proofed space with zero hazards. If I’m coming to yours, I’m super careful about checking window screens and locks. I never force cats to socialize. Plus, I’ll send you plenty of photos so you know they’re happy and getting their massages!

“I had Yijun walk my dog twice and they have Incredible communication and sent great updates!! Super sweet to my puppy and sent tons of adorable pics!”

Sammy H.

“Very happy with our communication. My dog had a great walk and she was very punctual with the appointment. Dakota is looking forward to more walks with Jasmin for sure!”

Enrique O.

“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.”

About: I grew up around dogs and have been pet-sitting regularly since I graduated college. I currently work at Mud Bay, the local pet store, and my knowledge and love for cats and dogs has increased exponentially. I’m patient, gentle, and get along with every dog I’ve ever met :) I work 25-30 hours a week, I have a car, and I’m willing to help care for your pets whenever you need! Because I work the closing shift, I’m most available in the mornings and afternoon. I’ll always have treats on me from my job! I helped my family train our two dogs, I’m used to watching over sick or elderly pets as well, and I’m great about sticking to a routine.

“Great communicator and very helpful with Izzie. Thank you!”

About: We’re a dog-loving family who truly considers pets part of the home. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, and we have a very well-loved miniature dachshund of our own. We understand the trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care — especially when they’re family. My husband and I both help care for the dogs in our home, so your pet will always have attentive, responsible adults present. We work as a team to make sure each dog receives individualized care, attention, and supervision. We are a family-friendly home, and our toddler absolutely loves dogs and will likely want to be your pup’s new best friend. That said, all interactions are closely and intentionally supervised. We are very mindful about safety and never leave children and dogs unattended together. Creating a calm, secure environment is always our priority. Living with a dachshund means we understand breed-specific needs — including proper handling, back safety, and reading dog body language. Whether your dog is playful and social or more reserved, we adjust to their personality and comfort level. Your pup will be treated like one of our own — safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for dogs is part of our daily rhythm. We follow consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and a thoughtful balance of play, structure, and rest. Welcoming a pup into our home feels seamless because we approach care intentionally — with attention, supervision, and respect. Your dog won’t be an afterthought here; they’ll be cared for in a calm, structured environment. My husband works from home most of the time so your pet would rarely be left home without one of us. Our pets are family. They do whatever we are doing! Lots of love and attention are given, depending on your dogs needs we can take trips to the park or just a walk around the neighborhood. Our dog prefers a ride in the bottom of our child’s stroller. As you can see we do whatever makes your dog happy - so long as they are safe.

About: I love to take your dog for a walk around downtown Bellevue, a longtime resident who loves the area and dogs! I am most available for dog walks and running errands with your dog on the weekends. Generally looking for longer walks and playing fetch at the park with a fun canine. I am super busy with work and and looking to get my dog fix and some exercise at the same time. I'm super responsible and reliable. And also, more about me: I deliver for Uber eats on bike, do software development, and I used to run a hot dog food truck for six years in Seattle. Wow, 125 words is a lot to write. I guess, I have to extend it to dating profile. Love long walks during summer nights with your dog and a frisbee. I’m currently work from home in Downtown Bellevue, so am flexible to walk, but prefer evenings and weekends to walk. I can board most days. I would care if your dog with much love, I love walking around the downtown Bellevue area and would love to take your dog along around as well. My favorites include downtown Bellevue Park and Meydenbauer Park.

“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!”

“Eugene took such great care of my pup. He is very attentive to the individual needs of my pup and took a lot of time to ensure he was acquainted with us both. Excellent care!”

About: I make sure to match with the dog’s energy, depending on whether they want a walk, play, or just a steady presence. I provide updates with photos and videos so that you can see how your baby is actually doing. I’ll make sure to keep their tails wagging while their favorite human is away (and hopefully become their second favorite)! There is always at least a person in the house to take care of the pets, with the exception of a few hours if we go out together on evenings or weekends. I am personally available almost all day everyday to keep your dogs comfortable. As my dog and cat’s favorite human, I always make sure they are doing well and dedicated daily play time to each of them individually. I have a fenced background so the dogs can play outside as long as they want to. If I go to your house, I will also play with them in addition to feeding, taking them to potty, etc. I treat my pets as my babies, and will make sure your babies are also taken care of when you are not around.
