“Ari has been walking our dog on a weekly basis for the past six months. He is very dependable, professional, and trustworthy. We highly recommend him. You AND your dog will be more than happy with the service.”

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so for daycare your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. Due to my variable work schedule, I cannot accommodate recurring appointments. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

“Sarah did a wonderful job walking my dog. She was always on time and my dog was so happy to see her.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 12 years of experience living on a farm, caring for pigs, cows, chickens, dogs, and cats. While I love all animals, dogs and cats have always held a special place in my heart. Friends and family know me as someone animals naturally gravitate toward. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pet is in caring hands while you're away. I'll follow your routines, provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and caring for them as if they were my own! I currently have a flexible schedule and spend my time between Olympia and Mukilteo. I generally work remotely, so I am available to house sit during the week or a mid day walk or check in on a break! My aim will always be to keep to your fur baby's schedule regarding walks, potty breaks and feeding. I'll provide plenty of cuddles and love when they are missing you.

“Helena takes the best care of my dog! She always makes time for her in her schedule. I always look forward to the updates she sends me after her visit”

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

“Great first experience with Katy!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie! She was available last minute to take our Australian shepherd Fig for multiple walks. Fig is high energy and Stephanie made sure to walk her for a full hour - I know she was good and tired afterwards! She sent me lots of updates, pictures and even a video of their walk! Fig also has hip issues we were already aware of - but Stephanie was observant and kind enough to comment about it in case we weren’t! I felt completely comfortable and reassured with Stephanie stopping in to care for Fig and would recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur baby!”

“Lauren and Dalton were amazing They came over for a meet and greet before using them to walk our dog. You could tell they love dogs. They were easy to communicate with and got back to me very quickly when I messaged them I appreciated that they sent updates and pictures of our pup.”

Amy H.

“Did great with my very hyper 11 month old Aussie! Willing to go the extra mile and refill his water/clean messes as well which is much appreciated.”

Jordyn H.

“We love working with Maggie! She has been so good with our very large puppy and so communicative with us. We really appreciate her notes, questions, and observations of our puppy after walks. Highly recommend!”

Alyssa N.

“Liza is great! Most importantly, our Abby loves her and Liza likes Abby an awful lot, too. Liza is reliable, responsive to questions and keeps me informed. She has been so kind during a family member’s serious health problems. Because they were hospitalized unexpectedly, there was and the uncertainty of how long the overnights booking would last since it was dependent on how things went after surgery.”

Linda M.

“Madison was SO great with our slightly anxious dog Griffy! She showed up on time, was responsive to messages, sent plenty of pictures and updates and best of all, our dog loved her and came home tired and happy while I was out of town. We'll be booking Madison again without a second thought!”

Erin C.

“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”

Terry K.

“Matthew was courteous and quick with communication for our first meet & greet + walk. It is very clear that he has worked a lot with dogs and understands their unique personalities. Thank you!”

About: Hi! My name is Manuela, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Back home in Colombia, I took care of my own two dogs as well as my relatives’ dogs, so I’ve been around dogs with different personalities and needs for years. I also worked as an Au Pair, where one of my daily responsibilities included caring for two family dogs. This gave me experience balancing pet care with a busy routine while making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. Most of the dogs I’ve cared for have been large breeds, including Pit Bulls, Labrador Retrievers, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks, so I’m comfortable handling bigger, energetic dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I will always care for your pet with patience, kindness, and the same love I would give my own. Every dog has their own personality. I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and what makes them feel comfortable, so they can feel at ease while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m currently available seven days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pet whenever you need. Whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to work around your schedule. I’m committed to providing dependable and consistent care, and I always make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I also speak both English and Spanish, so I’m happy to communicate in whichever language you’re most comfortable with. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priority. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I respect every client’s home as if it were my own, and I make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
