Dog Walking Brighton

About: My passion for animals has been at the heart of my pet care experience for years. I have dedicated my time to volunteering with animal shelters, fostering dogs, and providing compassionate care to pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my work with rescue organizations, I have gained hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, dogs with stranger anxiety, leash reactivity, and pets that require single-animal homes. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels so they feel safe and secure while in my care. Friends, fellow volunteers, and pet owners describe me as caring, patient, trustworthy, and dependable. I believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and plenty of affection. Whether I'm taking a dog for a walk, providing in-home care, or simply spending quality time with them, I treat each pet as if they were my own. My experience fostering rescue dogs has taught me how to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate in a variety of situations, allowing me to build trust with animals that may be fearful or anxious. My goal is to give pet owners complete peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are receiving exceptional care. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and reliable experience for every pet and every family I have the privilege to assist. I am currently attending school Monday through Wednesday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During those days, I am unavailable during school hours but can provide care before and after class. I have full availability on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you're looking for overnight house sitting or pet sitting, I am available all seven days of the week. Please note that on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I will be away from the home between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM while attending school. I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs and schedule to determine if I'm the right fit. I look forward to connecting with you and providing dependable, compassionate care for your pets! Most importantly, I want to assure you that I will adhere to all instructions, rules, and expectations you provide for your pet’s care. While in-home care is often ideal for maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment for your pet, I am also available to provide boarding if needed. I reside in a pet-friendly apartment community that includes a dog wash station and is conveniently located adjacent to a park, offering easy access to outdoor space and exercise. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your preferences and determine the arrangement that best supports your pet’s comfort and well-being.

“Mandy is great with my dogs! She was very patient and had good suggestions for meeting my dog who is reactive to strangers. Showed true care for my pup when I was away.”

“Anais came over for a meet and greet and my puppy warmed right up to her. She's very friendly and asked thoughtful questions as we discussed what my dog needs during a walk (particularly how I'm working on his leash reactivity). Photos from their walk show a happy dog, and no doubt I'll be contacting Anais again. Thank you!”

“Kris has gotten my stubborn dog to enjoy going for walks again! She sends the cutest photos of him, too!”

About: *accepting up to 3 night stays at this time* We’ve had dogs as small as a Maltese to as large as a Rottweiler. We’ve had dogs from puppies and have rescued dogs. I also used to volunteer at the local dog shelter as a dog walker. We recently said goodbye to our family dog of 10 years. We love being around pets, but are not ready to have our own yet. We have watched many of our friends dogs and treat them as our own! One of us is home with 2 children every day of the week. If we are pet sitting, we mostly hang around home. We would fit in walks and outside time. Our pets would roam openly in our home and hang out wherever we were. We offer lots of play, pets and walks. With our fenced yard, they could easily run out for a quick potty break as well.

“Courtney has help me and Butter so much over the past few weeks. She is amazing with Butter who can be very shy. She's great!”

“Ash took amazing care of my 65-lb dog Coco, walking her twice a day during a trip. She handled some big anxiety that cropped up with kindness and and kept me well updated along the way. Thanks for being such a loving support!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to make each walk or visit enjoyable, safe, and tailored to their needs. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely sniff walks, or simply needs companionship while you're away, I'm happy to provide patient, reliable care. I'm attentive to details, communicate regularly with pet parents, and always send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments—including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and excited to see me again. As a creative business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the day. I build my own work hours, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop in visits, and consistent care between projects while still giving each pet my full attention. Pet care is a wonderful balance to my creative work, it gets me outdoors, keeps me active, and gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals, something I genuinely enjoy. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm able to be dependable, communicative, and accommodate a variety of routines whenever possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on a walk, I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I know that pets thrive on familiarity, so I pay attention to their feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any special preferences or quirks. I always prioritize safe leash handling, secure entrances and exits, and awareness of our surroundings during walks. In your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I also believe communication is key. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is receiving attentive, loving, and reliable care while you're away.

“Katia did a great job with Zeke. She made sure to understand his triggers and knew his usual routines. Zeke was super comfortable around her, and enjoyed the extra attention!”

“My pups love Paul. He's so good with them. Ding Dong is old and stubborn, Binx Banks is younger and needy (soooo needy). Paul handles both with ease.”

About: I've owned and taken care of a plethora of different animals from horses to dogs. I'm experienced with many dog breeds, and I currently own a (spoiled) chihuahua. I'm currently taking a break from work, so I'll be available to help take care of your fur babies! I'm willing to work with you about availability depending on my schedule! I'm comfortable tending to all your dog's needs. I'm experienced with many things like lease walking and crate training. Feel free to let me know what your specific pet needs!

“Mac was great with our high-energy, rambunctious pup. Mac was timely, communicated the right amount and our dog was excited to see him for his walks. Definitely recommend!”

About: Im just an animal lover that has a lot of time currently, I’m not necessarily setting myself apart from other sitters if not only that I’m reliable and responsible having myself two babies. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to to some pet sitting or take a stroll to Seward park. Depending on the pet owners instructions I normally take care of pets as they were of of my own Huskies, with care and patience. I make sure my babies are in short medium leash when walking and long leash when there’s no one around.

About: I'm fairly intuitive when it comes to understanding pets and their idiosyncrasies. I care deeply and loved on my pup from the time she was a pup until her passing. I look to share the love I have for her to other fur babies. I work part time and my hours are flexible. With enough heads up I can be very accommodating. I'm open to weekends and extended stays. I'm happy to meet before committing to care. I like to get to know the children and their environment so I can best be of service.

About: Hello, my name is William “Morgan” and I live and work from home in south Seattle in the Brighton neighborhood of Rainier Valley. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine and it is such a reward knowing that they are well looked after. I know the struggle to find help for your loved ones is stressful and having peace of mind is priceless. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care for you and your pet. My specialty is in dog care, but if my schedule permits, I am happy to care for most other critters. At my home, guests will have a joyous and relaxing time with plenty of room to play while having a comfortable quiet space when they are ready to relax. The backyard is spacious and well fenced. For those escape artists and wild ones, no pet will ever be left outside unattended. My close proximity to parks in a quiet neighborhood makes it easy to pop out and enjoy a stroll. If we want to get a little more adventurous, lake Washington is just down the road with Seward Park being a few minutes away. Every dog requires different levels of engagement and attention. Any schedule, command and training will be reinforced to ensure your dog maintains consistency. My home will not be free for all where bad habits flourish. Your dog will thrive in this structured environment where their needs will be met and rewards will be earned! Sometimes people need more than a friendly place for their pet to visit and they might require a more delicate approach to the care provided. Whether your dog is overcoming anxiety or healing from an injury, looking after any special needs is done with absolute confidence and finesse. I have great experience caring for pets with all types of ailments and in all stages of recovery. I have rehabilitated many pets who required the extra care that is not easily found in a typical sitter. Their health and recovery will be top priority in my home. When receiving a daycare or sitting request, I do everything possible to make myself available. I genuinely have a hard time saying, “no” and if I am unavailable, it is because I am providing exceptional care for those who are booked. Rest assured that if I book your request, your loved one will be treated with the same level of attention and care. I consider it an honor to have the opportunity to be of service for you and your pets. Thank you! I am lucky enough to be doing this full time so your pets can have the best experience! Rest assured that your loved ones are my first priority! My home is a great place for your pet to explore, play and relax. We enjoy having a spacious house with a decent sized fenced backyard. We have our walks in a peaceful quiet neighborhood that can be as easy or as challenging of an exercise as we like.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—dogs, chickens, roosters, bunnies, and even bees! Being around animals from such a young age taught me how to care for them responsibly and confidently. I learned how to walk large dogs early on and picked up basic training techniques along the way. I love taking dogs on walks, but I’m also available for house sitting and can administer around-the-clock medications if needed. I have experience with both young and senior pets, and I’m very comfortable with high-energy breeds. I grew up with a boxer for most of my life, so a dog that pulls on the leash is nothing new to me! I truly love all animals and am happy to help however I can. Just let me know what you and your pet need, and I’ll be honest about my experience and make sure they get the best care possible. I currently work from home and most of my hours are asynchronous, so pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule and I am very flexible with hours! Unless I am already booked at that time, I am most likely available. I first want to make sure that I create a safe place for the pet. So for example, I am very comfortable with and prefer using leashes. I am always keeping a trained eye out for unleashed dogs on walks, regardless of whether your dog is friendly or not. As for cats, especially indoor, I want to make sure that they get the care they need, so that means taking care that the door is closed while I am inside performing a feeding so that no accidents occur. As far as the home goes, I like to leave a place better than I found it if possible, and I will ask necessary questions to make sure I know exactly how best to work with your animal in a safe and efficient manner.

“Keyara was great!! They left extremely detailed notes and sent us lots of photos. Max seemed to have lots of fun with Keyara and was super tired when we came home.”

About: I tend to bond well with doggos and am happy to walk, feed, cuddle, give belly rubs, and play tug-of-war and fetch with your dog(s). I also have experience caring for senior doggies who need medications and extra care and attention. I'm available for daily dog-walking, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting. I have a roommate who loves and can care for my cat so I am able to stay in your home and keep your pet company while you're away. I'm able to stop in for a time to feed and care for or walk your pet, or I can stay at your home if your pet needs more company and support. As a long-time cat mom who treasures her feline companion, I understand the importance of knowing your pet is being well-cared for when you can't be there. I commit to showing your pet the same care I would show my own, and I will be respectful of your home and conscientious about keeping it clean!

About: Hi! I’m Julia! I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up on a farm in Brazil, surrounded by animals, and I’ve been around pets my whole life. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies under 4 months old, and understand the patience, responsibility, and energy it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I offer both dog walking and pet sitting services, and I truly enjoy what I do. Whether it's a high-energy pup who loves long walks or a senior cat who just needs some gentle company, I adapt my care to fit your pet's unique personality and needs. Thanks to the flexibility of my work, I’m available on weekdays and weekends — mornings, afternoons, or evenings — and can usually adjust to what works best for you and your pet. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and fun to look after your furry family member, I’d love to help! Let me know how I can support you and your pet — I can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend! I work from home, which allows me to be around most of the day to care for and spend time with your pet. While I’m usually busier between 3 PM and 5 PM, I’m available in the mornings, early afternoons, and evenings — and I always make sure your pet gets the love and attention they need throughout the day. My wife also lives with me and has a different schedule, so between the two of us, your pet will rarely be alone. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, there’s almost always someone home to keep them company! I live in a spacious apartment with a designated dog relief area, which is perfect for quick potty breaks. I’m very outdoorsy, so I love taking dogs on long walks, especially if they need more exercise or stimulation. I often visit nearby parks, green areas, and even dog-friendly beaches when possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first — I adapt to their energy level and needs, whether they enjoy adventure or just lounging around.
