Dog Walking In Columbia City

About: As a dedicated and trustworthy neighbor, I offer compassionate and reliable pet sitting services, ensuring your beloved companions are happy and well-cared for while you're away. My approach is centered on building trust and providing peace of mind, allowing you to travel with assurance. I specialize in a range of services tailored to your pet's unique needs: Medication Administration: With extensive experience caring for older animals, including my own pet rabbits, I am highly confident and conscientious in administering medications and attending to specific energy and attention requirements based on age and temperament. Expert Cat Care: I excel in dropping in on cats, respecting their often finicky nature, and ensuring they receive the attention and care they desire. Reactive Dog Care: As a reactive dog owner myself, I have a deep understanding and passion for working with reactive dogs. My focus is on positive reinforcement, building confidence, and being highly aware of triggers during walks. I am also flexible and comfortable with various behavior management techniques owners have implemented, having successfully utilized corrective interventions with different breeds when appropriate. Rabbit and Chicken Sitting: I am very comfortable and have over 20 year of experience with pet rabbits and would love to care for yours. I am also comfortable with chicken clients, ensuring all your feathered friends are well-tended. My pet care radius is intentionally small, focusing on clients within my neighborhood, allowing me to quickly and efficiently reach homes, often by bike. This combines my love for cycling with meeting neighbors and fostering community spirit, ensuring beloved companions are happy and well-cared for. I offer compassionate and reliable pet sitting, specializing in medication administration for older animals, expert cat care respecting their finicky nature, and reactive dog care with a focus on positive reinforcement and trigger awareness. I also provide experienced rabbit and chicken sitting.

“Mandy really gave me a sense of peace and security while I was away on vacation as she took excellent care of my dog on lunchtime walks and gave great reports. She was always considerate and responsive, and I will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 5 years, with a variety of small Shih Tzus and a Golden Retriever for my uncle. I really want to get started in the pet sitting business. Your pets will have 100% of my attention as this is my gap year before law school and I have a lot of free time to help take care of fur babies. I have a fenced in yard so dogs can play safely, and another small Shih Tzu that is friendly around other dogs. I try to walk dogs three times a day, and spend the rest of the time hanging out with them.

“Clare was wonderful with my shy new rescue dog. She took good gentle care of him and always kept me well-informed of how he was doing -- very important because I was getting to know him too. Thank you Clare!”

About: I have had dogs, cats and parrots in my home and life since I was 14. I have watched them be born and leave this life. Nursed them when they were sick and played like crazy when it is play time. Everywhere I go they know I love them and that fun is gauguaranteed. I relocated back to Seattle about a year ago now. In my family home that is a dogs paradise. 1/4 acre of fenced yard in Columbia City with a side yard for escapers and little ones. I grew up with a great dane and my last old man was a chewahwah mix and so is my new baby. My Mom also has a puppy husky mix so play time is covered. All dogs are good as far as I am concerned some just need a little more. I know how to be pack leader and they know I mean business. Don't worry about your fur baby with me we will have fun and lots of love and treats. I currently am working on home renovations for my Mom. I am available currently for long term dog sitting, day visits or short term stays. There is a fully fenced yard new last year. If you have a climber we should talk. We eat breakfast and have love time on the bed. I try and keep them on a routine of love and play.

“Christopher was wonderful to work with, very communicative and easygoing, and our dogs took to him well for daily walks while we were out of town.”

About: Hi! I'm Maggie, I'm a Seattle based animal caregiver ✨ I care for a wide range of animals through my volunteer work at two local animal sanctuaries. I'm drawn to the animals that need a little extra patience, whether that's a shy rescue or an anxious baby who needs a calm, predictable routine to feel safe. My background is in operations management, which sounds unrelated, but it means I'm able to follow routines and notice if/when something's off. I communicate proactively so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing and I make sure to give each animal real, individual attention. 💖 I am flexible, prompt, and ready to take care of your furry friend. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! 🥰 Since I know no furry friend is the same, I follow each pet's existing routine as closely as possible. Before any stay or visit I make sure the space is secure and safe and I send regular photo updates so owners aren't left guessing. In my own home I maintain a calm, structured environment, and I apply that same energy in a client's space. I treat every home like it's my own and every pet like they're Ky.

“Cody was great! Prompt, professional, incredibly kind and gentle with our new dog. Will be working with him on a weekly basis and couldn't be happier”

About: I’ve recently started taking care of pets in my community after losing my lovely dog, Layla, to cancer. Doing so has been healing in ways that I could not have imagined!! I am so excited to continue this journey of love, support and healing. I will treat your pet as if they were my own. I work in office during the week, but close enough to home to allow the pups restroom breaks throughout the day. And of course, spending the evenings playing and snuggling with the doggos. My weekends are free to spend all the time with them. I follow the instructions form the caregiver and also listen to what each pet is telling me. I provide a calm yet playful attitude so that everyone feels comfortable.

“Ash is such a great companion for DeLuka. Sadly we had to move up north. I highly recommend Ash. DeLuka will surely miss going out for activities with Ash!”

“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.”

Susan B.

“From the moment we met Mac, we were convinced. Mac is warm, open, friendly and knowledgeable about dogs (and many other things). Mac CARES about dogs! Mac stayed in our home while we were away and in addition to being sensitive to our very old dog's fragile condition, volunteered to water plants, bring in the mail and care for two cats. We heard from Mac daily while away, and communicated easily. It could have been difficult to have a "stranger" stay in our home while we were away, but Mac's friendly personality is genuine and put us right at ease.”

About: I bred black and chocolate labrador retrievers growing up in Seattle, and trained dogs until I was 15 years old. I started Rover when I lived in Tacoma during graduate school and really enjoyed the time I got to spend with all the dogs. I recently reactivated my account in 2026 since I have weekends and Tuesdays off and would love the opportunity to help you and your dog(s)! If you would like your dog to get outside for walks, run or swim, send me an message! Cheers!

About: I’ve always had an unusually strong connection with animals—especially shy or anxious ones. Dogs and cats that are nervous around others tend to warm up to me quickly, often surprising their owners. I grew up with four dogs and have experience reading behavior, giving space when needed, and building trust at the animal’s pace. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means I can give your pet my full attention and treat them like they’re my own while you’re away. I’m currently working remote and part time, and I frequently walk around the Seward park and Columbia city neighborhoods for exercise. I have plenty of time and ability to fit pet care into my routine. I will be unable to host your pet, but when I am welcomed into a clients home I do my best to respect the peace and harmony of another’s space and I always strive to leave the home in the exact condition in which I found it.
