Dog Walking Crossroads

About: Hi there! 💕 I’m a passionate dog lover with a big heart and over 4 years of joyful experience caring for dogs just like yours. From bouncy puppies and happy adults to gentle senior pups with special needs, I’ve had the privilege of watching dogs for my friends and their friends — sometimes caring for three or four at a time. I especially adore helping dogs who feel anxious or worried when their pet parents are away. I create a calm, loving space for them by playing soothing dog TV, offering gentle pets, soft words, and plenty of treats. I play with them, give lots of cuddles, and shower them with the kind of patient, understanding care that helps even the most nervous pups feel safe and loved. Whether your dog has special medical needs, a unique feeding schedule, or just needs extra reassurance, I treat every pup as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels happy, secure, and completely cherished while you’re gone. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something that brings me real joy. I’d be truly honored to give your furry family member the love and attention they deserve. Please reach out anytime — I’m here with open arms (and lots of belly rubs!) to help make your time away peaceful for both of you. 🐾 I work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pup the love and attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends after 8 AM. My days are calm and consistent — I wake up early in the morning and usually go to bed around 10 PM. During the day I handle most of the care, including meals, medication if needed, walks, playtime, and plenty of photos and updates for you. In the evening and at night, my boyfriend helps look after your pup so they’re never alone. If I need to step out for a quick appointment or short errand, your dog will never be left more than about an hour. My home is peaceful and my schedule is flexible, so your furry friend will always feel safe and cared for. Your pup will be lovingly looked after from the moment I wake up early in the morning. I start the day by checking on them with a gentle greeting, making sure they have fresh, clean water (I refresh it often and add ice cubes on hot days to keep them hydrated and comfortable). I follow your exact feeding schedule and give any medications right on time. After meals, we enjoy long, peaceful walks together in the beautiful parks near my apartment. There are lovely grassy areas, water fountains for dogs, and plenty of fresh air — sometimes my boyfriend and I go to nicer parks as in Kirkland or Bellevue water front where have lots dogs around so your pup can have a fun, social adventure! My apartment is a safe, calm, and comfortable home for dogs. In warm weather, the AC and fans run to keep everything cool and pleasant. In winter, the heat stays on so no one ever feels chilly. Your dog is welcome everywhere — on the couch, on the bed, or wherever they feel most relaxed and happy. Throughout the day I send you plenty of photos and updates so you can see how well your furry friend is doing. Most importantly, I keep a close, caring eye on their schedule, comfort, and happiness at all times. My goal is to give your dog the same gentle love, attention, and care I would give my own. You can relax knowing they’re safe, cherished, and enjoying their time here. 🐾

“Mariia has been a huge help with daily walks for my dog. She’s been very responsive and has been great with making me feel comfortable!”

Krystal F.

“Very nice but not super reliable. Maybe I wasn't clear enough but fed my dog when I didn't ask them too. Then did a half hour walk instead of an hour. Then cancelled last minute. But my dog loved her.”

Ali A.

“Clancy was great! She arrived on time and was super friendly. Atlas had a great time and came home ready for a nap!”

Jennifer R.

“Emily is an absolute gem! She took care of Tako over the weekend for two walk sessions, and I couldn't be happier. The walk cards and updates were incredibly detailed—Emily paid close attention to all of Tako's unique quirks, like her fear of loud noises, her habit of rubbing against posts, and safely stopping her from chewing on grass roots. It’s so clear how responsible, patient, and observant they are. Tako came back super happy! I felt completely at ease knowing Tako was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable walker!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than 30 years, and I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and your home. I’m an experienced dog owner that has managed two doggie day cares, and I treat every dog in my care like I would want someone to treat my own. I know that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes your dog happiest—whether that means an energetic walk, lots of playtime, belly rubs, quiet companionship or simply keeping their normal routine consistent while you’re away. Reliability is extremely important to me. When I commit to caring for your dog, you can count on me to show up, follow your instructions and keep you updated so you don't have to wonder how things are going. I especially enjoy building ongoing relationships with dogs and their families, so recurring walks and drop-in clients are always welcome! What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 Lots of love, attention and individualized care 🐾 Dependable and timely visits 🐾 Walks tailored to your dog's energy level 🐾 Feeding, fresh water and routine care 🐾 Playtime, cuddles and companionship 🐾 Photos and updates during visits 🐾 Careful attention to your instructions and your dog's normal routine 🐾 Respect for your home during drop-ins and overnight stays 🐾🐾Dog Walking🐾🐾 Walks aren't one-size-fits-all. Some dogs want to power walk and explore while others would happily spend half the walk investigating one particularly fascinating bush! I'll match the walk to your dog's age, personality and energy level while making sure they have a safe and enjoyable outing. ◇30-minute and 60-minute walks available.◇ 🐾🐾Drop-In Visits🐾🐾 Drop-ins are perfect for dogs who are happiest staying in their own home. During visits I can provide potty breaks, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication according to your instructions, playtime and plenty of attention. I'll also send you an update and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. ◇30-minute and 60-minute visits available.◇ 🐾🐾Overnight House Sitting🐾🐾 Going away shouldn't mean your dog has to give up the comfort of home. With overnight house sitting, I'll stay with your dog in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime routines and lots of companionship. I understand that trusting someone inside your home is a big decision, so I take that responsibility seriously and will treat both your pets and your home with respect. 🐾🐾Meet & Greet🐾🐾 I offer a complimentary meet & greet before the first booking whenever possible. It gives your dog a chance to meet me while you're there, allows you to show me their routine, and gives us time to discuss feeding, walks, behaviors, medications, favorite toys, quirks and anything else you'd like me to know. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable before the first visit. 🐾My Favorite Kind of Client🐾 I love working with pet parents who consider their dogs members of the family. Whether you need an occasional sitter, someone you can rely on every week, or simply a trustworthy person to give your dog some attention while you're at work, I'd love to meet you and your pup. ❤️🐶Serving Bellevue and nearby Eastside neighborhoods. 🐶❤️ I am open ALL WEEK, any hours to provide for your pup while you are busy during the week or away on vacation. I would love to get your furbaby the individualized love and attention they deserve. Going away shouldn't mean your dog has to give up the comfort of home.

About: I do not know what a home is without a pet! I have always had at least one pet in my household since I was born. Currently, I have a miniature Australian shepherd that I raised and trained from a puppy. Additionally, I have a college degree in Animal Science and previously worked in the veterinary field for 4 years. I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats but also livestock and exotics. I have worked with everything from newborn puppies to chickens to primates. I am extremely passionate about training as well as making sure pets have the mental and physical enrichment they deserve. I am currently working hybrid so my availability is mostly weekends and before/after work visits but I have the flexibility to work with you. I am joined Rover because I just love animals and it really feels like a hobby to get to meet new pets rather than a job. I have a small fenced in backyard and a miniature Australian shepherd to keep your pet company. If your pet is more solitary; Theo is more than happy to give them their space and we can provide a gated separate area for your pet. In your house, things are done your way. I prefer detailed instructions so that your home is exactly how you would like it when you come back. Additionally, allowing me to follow your set routine ensures your pet is as happy as can be when you come home. No request is too weird for your fur-baby! My own pet has lots of quirks and weird routines so do not hesitate to reach out with a special request!

“Had great experience with Laura walking my boys Max and Hiro while we were away on vacation. Laura was super punctual, flexible and communicated very well. Will be using her services again, highly recommend!”

“Crystal is top-notch! My dog adores her and she asks very thoughtful questions to get to know your pup. She is prompt and kind. We will definitely be scheduling with Crystal again.”
