Dog Walking Central District

About: I’ve owned dogs since before I was born, and understand the complexity of taking care of all ages of dogs. While I no longer have any dogs in the home, I can still use my wealth of knowledge to help your pet in anyway I can. Additionally I enjoy running in my free time and would be happy to take your dog along if you so choose! I’m a college student home for summer, giving me lots of unused free time and the ability to match your schedule in whatever way needed. My household having dogs in it for quite a while is built around keeping a pet happy and safe. With a balcony outside for dogs to watch the world and relax, and pads on the stairs to ensure no slipping. I’m hands on when it comes to dog care, making sure that play time is done often and safely.

“Gabriel is fantastic! He is so sweet and gentle with our old lady corgi who has to be helped up and down stairs. He walks her twice a day during the week while we’re at work. He is punctual, dependable, and very communicative. We’re really grateful we found Gabriel and highly recommend him!”

“Lyn has walked my senior large breed dog, Olive, several times. Lyn is reliable, communicates well, and most importantly, always takes great care of Olive! I would love for her to continue walking Olive.”

About: I've taken good care of dogs, cats, and other creatures for most of my life. Friends and family members have often relied on me to tend to their animals while they are away, because they know I'll give tender and conscientious care. From pets with complicated medical needs to pets with complicated personalities, every single one I've loved! I'm currently a full-time student (I'm returning to school to become a counselor, and I hope to pursue animal-assisted therapy someday!), so I'm hoping to earn a little extra money right now doing something I love. I am often available for visits and walks during the day as well as overnight care, if you are traveling out of town. I will not be able to care for pets in my home at this time. I am happy to care for your pet in their own home.

About: Been a pet owner in some form since age 7, worked at a dog day care in Edmonds facility for 5 years and I am the go-to for all my friends and family for pet care when they are away. I'm very good at reading cats and dogs, adore spending time with them and love the exercise that comes with walks. I am currently a student taking night classes, I have open availability all week especially in the daytime but am open to night walks that work with my school schedule! Currently only have class Monday and Wednesday starting at 6pm. I have dog and cat sat in the past for various neighbors and friends, always respectful will spend as little or as much time as the home as you want!

“Logan is so sweet and treats my special needs baby with care!”

About: I have a long history of taking care of senior dogs and dogs with special needs/medical needs. I can give oral medication pretty easily, and if your dog has other needs just show me how to do it and I can learn! We used to have a dog with serious chronic medical conditions so we've pretty much seen it all at this point. We currently have 2 chihuahuas of our own - a sleepy 12 year old named Camel and a 6 year old party boy named CG. We also sometimes have a foster dog with us from a rescue shelter too, who can be any age, male or female, and always a small dog. I got my dog CG at 9 weeks old so I have puppy training knowledge too. Please note I can only board smaller dogs ~25 pounds or less. I'm in school with hybrid classes, so I'm only away for a few hours a week. I'm free all day most days. I have a small fully-fended outdoor patio with a potty area. I have 2 dogs of my own, both chihuahuas. My dogs usually sleep in my bed with me but I can also crate your dog if you want. One of my dogs has arthritis so we have dog ramps/dog stairs all over, and I'm used to carrying little dogs up the big stairs as needed. If we need to drive the dogs anywhere, we have a dog seat in the car and little doggie seat belts for safety.

“Mary-Elizabeth has been an integral part of our pups' lives for almost a year and a half. She is dependable, extremely prompt with communication, and so great with Emma and Potato. They always get so excited when she comes for walks, and she is such a dog-whisperer that I'm pretty sure they're better with her than they are with us! They also really had fun staying over for a weekend getaway. :) We will always recommend Mary-Elizabeth for anyone in the Seattle area looking for a dog walker!”

About: I enjoy caring for and playing with dogs and cats of all types. I live with two adorable cats, and grew up with a dog - I'm experienced in caring for pets in ways that are responsive to their needs and enriching for all their sweet energy! I'm currently on summer break and have plenty of weekday and weekend availability to care for your pets! I'm flexible to accommodate your schedule :) I'm respectful of your own routines and patterns with your pets, and will be considerate to learn these routines to create as much consistency for your pet as possible

About: I’ve helped lots of family and friends care for their dogs. Currently i have one dog and 3 cats that my roommates and I all care for. I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) which helped me gain a lot of understanding for how modeling positive behaviors can pay off in all parts of life. I’m currently working part time until 2pm. On weekdays anytime after 2:15pm will be available as well as the majority of weekends. I’m very flexible and willing to help however I can. I have 4 pets at home and adding someone new into the mix can be stressful so I cannot host. However, I can pick up and play or take for walks.

“Emily is responsible, punctual, walks fast and is all around an amazing walker for our mini Aussie Billie. Thanks so much for the walks, Emily!”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

About: I've been taking care of animals pretty much my entire life, most notable being my Yorkie for about 18 years before she passed from old age. I have also cared for a guinea pig, fish, two cats, and 6 dogs. I understand the importance of an owner feeling safe for their pets (family) when their away and I will do everything to make sure they're happy. I'm open to care for pets anytime when needed throughout the week. It's not often I'm backed up with events that would prevent me from showing up. I always make sure pets get the proper care at the correct time so there isn't any accidents that may occur. A routinely schedule for them is incredibly important.

About: Hello! You can call me Christy :) I have 5+ years of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s routine. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, exercise, and photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐶 I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays, with morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend availability. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Since I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and preferences to help them feel comfortable. I provide regular photo updates, treat every home with respect, and prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness every step of the way.

About: I was raised in a house filled with rescue animals, and have loved all kinds of creatures since I was young. I have two sweet cats, one I've had for 13 years and another that I just recently rescued from a beach in Belize and have brought home. I'm great with dogs and cats of all types, and have neverending patience when it comes to making a new animal friend. I can also help with other pets if given direction. I have been a trusted caretaker for my friends and family's animals for years, and can give medicines, feed, clean and bathe when necessary. Very willing to take your dog (or cat) on a nice long walk, or hang out with them at your home! I work part time and from home so I can be very flexible on any scheduling needs you may have. Just message me and we'll find something that works! I will keep your fur babies so safe! From making sure all doors are kept closed tight, leashes and harnesses are secure and all food and medicine protocols are followed. I am very aware of treating all animals and homes with respect, kindness and care and promise to keep them safe. I'm also smoke/alcohol/drug free and very reliable and organized.

About: I’ve grown up with and trained dogs since I was 3–german shepherds & golden retrievers. One of my family’s GSD had puppies at home and we raised the seven through 8 weeks and kept one! Through college, I dog sat a golden doodle on a weekly basis. I am quite familiar with the needs of high energy dogs, and love chilling with low energy pets too 😊 I have a hybrid work schedule, in the office tuesdays & wednesdays, but free in the mornings and after work even those days! I get up early and work out most days with time still before my meetings at 830, so mornings are easy for me to stop by and check in, take your pups on walks, or hang out with them for a bit! My schedule when I’m working from home is a bit more flexible and I can fit in drop ins during the day too. After work (after 5) is no problem any day. With enough notice I can make almost any time work! I can easily pick up your pets regular routine, I love to maintain consistency so feel free to give me all the details! I am happy to work with you to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible!
