Dog Walking Crossroads

About: I have 18 years of hands-on dog care experience, beginning with my family’s first dog, who I cared for throughout her life until she passed. I now share my home with two rescue dogs and have also fostered a shelter-rescued dog for 3 months who got adopted last year. Beyond my own pets, I have cared for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and previously worked part-time for a pet services company as a professional pet sitter and dog walker. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and communication style. My approach is never one-size-fits-all: I take time to get to know each pet, respect their signals and boundaries, and build trust at their pace. I also prioritize clear, reliable communication so owners feel informed and reassured while they are away. I am self-employed and work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I can structure my day around your dog’s usual feeding, potty, walking, play, and rest routine, and I do not leave pets alone for extended periods. I am especially well suited for dogs who benefit from companionship, consistent routines, extra potty breaks, or a calmer home presence during the day. I believe trust starts before the booking. I like to meet pets first, learn their routine, and understand what helps them feel comfortable, whether that means giving them space, using treats, playing, taking a slow walk, or simply sitting nearby until they are ready. I pay close attention to body language and never force interaction. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, house rules, comfort items, and any behavior notes. I also keep owners updated with messages, photos, and honest communication so they always know how their pet is doing.

“Denys has been walking my two dogs for a while now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is caring, responsible, and my dogs absolutely love him. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. He’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for and happy. He’s also very flexible, which we appreciate given our sometimes hectic work schedule. I would highly recommend Denys to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker.”

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. 🐾

About: Hi! I'm Dylan, and I've spent years caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I take a calm, patient approach and believe that every animal is an individual. I'm especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, or more sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and work at each animal's pace so they can feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'll adapt my care to what works best for them. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering oral medications, and caring for senior dogs. I'm comfortable with both small and large breeds and focus on preventing problems before they happen through careful supervision and good communication. You can expect reliable care, regular photo updates, and respect for your pet's routine and your home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I currently focus on drop-in visits and am available most days for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. I am unavailable on Tuesdays and have limited availability Wednesday mornings due to appointments, but I am available later in the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can be flexible with timing—feel free to reach out to coordinate! During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while you’re away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks if needed, playtime, and lots of companionship. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with pets who may be shy or nervous, and I always pay close attention to body language to keep things safe and comfortable. I’m very reliable and detail-oriented, so I’ll follow any care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit. Drop-in visits are a great option for dogs or cats who are more comfortable staying in their own home, and I do my best to make each visit a positive experience.

About: I've take care of dogs of since I was 13. My kids and me always take care of dogs from friends and neighbors. It is type of our hobby I am staying home during day time. My kids love to take care of dogs and we all love dogs. When kids go to school I am going to stay with dog at home. Walking neighborhood, dog walk. We have fully fenced back yard. We live in a 1 st floor rambler house. Hardfloor house type so its easy to clean if dog make mistake.

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!

“Rebecca is competent and reliable. She walked my dog every afternoon while I was at work, always went a good distance and sent me pictures. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

“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!”

About: I loved dogs since I was 10 years old. I currently have 3 dogs in my family, and in my life time I’ve taken care of 6 dogs within my family. Currently I have Maltese, a poodle, and a husky in the family. I’ll be completely on break for July and will be more than happy to walk your pets during the day and care for them in the hours you request. Whatever your needs are, I’ll make it work! In my home I care for dogs by letting them walk with me throughout the house, play in my fenced yard, and take them on long walks to make sure they do their business. I’d can do the same and more in your homes!

“Accommodating, prompt and highly communicative! Our dog seems better behaved after his time with Crystal & would definitely recommend her to others.”

“My pups were very excited for their walks with Blanca; she kept me in the loop regarding their day and activities. It was a great first experience with this service”
