Dog Walking Bryn Mawr-Skyway

About: Hi! I’ve been a passionate dog lover and caregiver since I was 18. Beyond walks and cuddles, I’m deeply interested in dog training and hold certificates in clicker training and canine freestyle from the Karen Pryor Academy. For six years, I cared for a family’s pack, including a senior pup with multiple health issues and another with a heart condition. I’m very comfortable administering medications and providing thoughtful, specialized care. I’m especially experienced with short-nosed breeds like Boston Terriers, pugs, and bulldogs as well as working breeds like German Shepherds. Each breed has its own quirks and charms, and I love them all! I also work full time as a bartender, but I’m happy to create a schedule that fits you and your pet’s needs: whether that’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Important: I do not use or support e-collars, prong collars, or any punishment-based training methods. I am fully committed to positive reinforcement, fear-free care, and your dog’s emotional wellbeing. Above all, your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first. From playful enrichment to gentle senior care, I’m here to keep your pup feeling loved, relaxed, and right at home. I’m a full-time bartender and typically work 4–5 evening or night shifts each week. That means my days are mostly free and flexible: perfect for walks, playtime, training sessions, or drop-ins. Because of my schedule, I can often give your pup extra company and enrichment during the daytime hours when many owners are away. I’m also happy to work out a routine that fits your dog’s needs, so they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for even when I’m at work in the evenings. I will adjust my care to follow the rules and structure you already have for your pet and your home. It’s essential that you know you can trust me to respect your space, your routines, and your dog’s needs. My goal is always to keep your pet feeling safe, happy, and comfortable just like you would.

“Alex was amazing! Very kind and communicative and Fred was always very happy to see her and came back tired and happy from all their walks. It’s obvious they are an animal lover and knew Fred was in good hands. Alex was able help me out in a last minute pinch and I so appreciate their flexibility!! Would rebook in an instant in the future. Thank you Alex!!”

But I am perfectly happy coming by to pick up your dog for a nice long walk or run and run after the run or walk I’ll make sure your dog is safely back in his home or yard and has water and everything it needs for the day.

About: Life has always meant enjoying dog relationships. Dogs visiting here at Twin Spruce Cottage are treated as if they are my own, enjoying a home setting & an attentive human. My initial posting with Rover.com was years ago. At that time circumstances changed so it wasn't until this last summer of 2025, that I happily began to board dogs again. I was raised to understand dog behavior and to be comfortable around all types of dogs. Our last dog was 110 lbs of gorgeous (& alpha) Flatcoated English Retreiver. He passed at 14. Now retired full time, I volunteer with dogs when I have the opportunity. I understand how to identify dog behaviors & work with them. I was a volunteer at a canine rescue program from 2001 through 2016, working both in the facility and fostering dogs who were waiting placement. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs & willing to adjust to the individual needs of your dog. I have a dog friendly yard and do walks each day to keep them busy. There are comfy, upholstered large dog beds to lounge on and toys for play. I also am available for dog walking near me in Skyway WA. Unfortunately, dogs with special needs or who require medication be given are not accepted. I am retiree who walks daily ~ without my own dog these days. Dog walks are provided in daylight hours and are available by appointment. Schedule availability varies. I have a fenced yard which is dog friendly with room to run, lots of shade trees & some artificial turf developed especially for dogs. When in the house no dogs on furniture or beds but comfy dog beds are waiting. Dog guests who are boarding are walked 45-60 minutes per day which is included in daily rates. Your dog will be the only dog in my care while boarding > unless your family has 2 dogs you wish to board. There is a maximum of 2 dogs in care. Daycare is available. For further information on daycare, please contact me. Dog walking is also available, in my local area. Inquiries are welcome.

“Patrick was fantastic with our dogs. He was incredibly patient with them and won over our pups who are normally very wary of strangers. He was easy to get a hold of and responded quickly to any messages. Would highly recommend him for your power care needs.”

About: Hi my name is Tajnecka. I live in a big apartment. Since I was a little girl I was always surrounded by dogs. And I to have a puppy that I love so much. Her name is Lola. So I am a dog lover. I think it’s a wonderful thing spending time with them. I would love walking, feeding, play with them and caring for your beautiful pets! I have a passion for pets of all sizes and shapes. I am excited to be able to to help you! Your pet deserve all the love, attention, and affection they need. I’ll treat them as if they were my own pets. I’ll take good care of them and thanks for trusting me to be with your pets! Your pets will be safe with me. I’m currently working two jobs but my time could be flexible hours and I could spend with your dogs and play around with your pets/ fed them too I have a fenced patio and a puppy to keep company and it is safe to play around outside with there toys and take potty break

About: Your dog is SAFE, I am RESPONSIBLE and your dog is FAMILY, to me!!! I am physically fit, full of humor and just waiting for a dog or dogs to care for. I have a cat but he is not interested in outside adventures as he just sleeps, lol I am semi retired so I am flexible. When I'm not at the gym, I walk different dogs at my condo's, just for fun--honestly! I can provide references as well. Your dog is my "child", while in my care. I take this job/responsibly very seriously, which you will soon find out! We will play, run, and walk and quickly develop a love for each other!!

About: My love for dogs started when I got my childhood dog Daisy, the sweetest lhasa apso in the world! Since then, I’ve taken care of many dogs, from my friends 3 year old golden doodle to my cousins dogs ( a mix of small chihuahuas and big german shepard’s). I love walking and playing with dogs and making sure they’re fed, clean, and comfy! I also have experience taking care of elderly dogs with more regimented and programmed care routines, including administering medicine in the form of pills or injections. During the year, I’m a para-professional sub, so I have summers off! I’m very flexible, weekdays and weekends and would love to spend as much time as I can helping folks take care of their pets while they work or go on summer vacation :) I offer attentive hands on care and make sure pets are taken care of while also making sure the home is taken care of! With a dog and a cat at my house, I know what it takes to make sure they’re taken care of while maintaining a clean and comfortable space!

“Great communication before, during and after. On time everytime. Wonderful service.”

About: I’m a gentle and active pet lover with lifelong experience caring for animals. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd and have grown up with pets, including cats, a Doberman, and another Aussie, so I’m comfortable with many breeds and personalities. I love staying active with dogs and understand how important both physical exercise and mental stimulation are. I enjoy walks, playtime, and enrichment activities that keep dogs happy, balanced, and well-behaved. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique needs and routines. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and engaged while their owners are away. Weekdays I am available early mornings to afternoon until 4 pm. Weekends: depending, case by case basis. Sundays after 12 pm. Please write in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their routine closely, ensure they are always supervised, and adjust care based on their needs. I provide a calm, positive environment and keep your home clean and respected while caring for your pet. I also make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation through safe, engaging activities.

“Laurel is amazing! We have a highly reactive dog and after meeting the dog only a few times, Laurel was able to confidently work with our dog (even able to get her collar on - something other people cant usually do!) Highly recommend Laurel!”

“Samantha gave our two dogs plenty of love and attention on a nice local walk. Prompt, reliable and professional; we will certainly be rebooking her for future walks while we are out of town.”

“Carly is the best walker! My dog is really nervous when I’m out of town and had an accident. Carly went above and beyond and cleaned up after her, which I so appreciate!! Thank you Carly!!”

About: I have had dogs of varying sizes and temperaments. from a docile Pitbull who loved to make a friend on the street to a tiny Chihuahua who is a true dog’s dog. I have gone through potty training and basic command this year with my dog, so I’m very familiar with sticking to training! I’m currently working an hybrid schedule and I have plenty of time to be your pet’s new pal! With a flexible schedule, I am able to meet the needs of many pets. Whether that’s more frequent potty breaks or going to their weekly park date. For those staying in my home, either my wife or I are usually home during the day. Our dog just vibes out wherever while we work from home. Dogs are allowed on furniture. I am all about keeping pets on their schedule as best as possible. I like continuity of what’s the norm for them. If they have strict meal and potty times I will follow them. If they love an enrichment adventure or puzzle I’ll get that all set up! I’ll take plenty of fun pictures with silly captions to keep you up to date!

“She loves and cares for our pets with enthusiasm and they can tell—they love her back!”

“Natalie is one of the best dog walkers I found on the app. She is experienced in walking large and sometimes reactive dogs and is very patient, assertive and kind with Cila. She is lovely to work with--always extremely communicative and flexible. I cannot recommend her enough! She is a rockstar and Cilantro and I are so lucky to have her as our dog walker!”
