Dog Walking Downtown

About: I work well with all kinds of dogs; small or big, energetic or mellow. I take great patience to understand each individual animal and meet them where theyre at. I'm currently a part-time student at UW, and my commitment for classes is mostly online! My schedule this summer is super flexible, so I'm available for boarding anytime between other pet appointments, and I can do my best to make same day appointments work as well! I understand that boarding at the client's home means I am the one entering the pets' space. I will always ensure your pets' safe zones so they can retreat if they are feeling stressed or overwhelmed by my visitation.

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.

“Meng is great - easy to communicate with, punctual, and followed some complex instructions into our home.”

“Absolutely wonderful with midnight! Needed a last minute walked and she stepped up and took such great care of her, she was very detailed and put me at ease while I was away!”

Daniel C.

“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.”

Marilia O.

“Daniela is outstanding! She truly has a love of animals and engaged immediately with my two pups with skill and enthusiasm, catering to their separate personalities and needs with ease. She is kind and considerate and both dogs immediately adored her. I highly recommend Daniela, thank you!!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a child. Growing up, I took care of our family pets by feeding them, cleaning up after them, playing with them, and making sure they felt loved and safe. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable and confident around animals, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m available from Monday to Thursday, and since I’m currently a housewife, I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pet throughout the day. I can provide not only the basic care like feeding and walks, but also spend quality time giving them love, attention, and companionship. I truly enjoy being around animals, and I’m happy to create a safe and comfortable environment for them while you’re away. As a dog sitter, I provide a safe and trustworthy environment where your dog can feel at home. Since I’m a housewife and home most of the day, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I make sure they are always comfortable, whether it’s by giving regular walks, playtime, or just relaxing by my side. I take time to learn each dog’s personality and needs—whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and shy—so I can adjust my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to make your dog feel secure, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“My Aussie Freya can be very selective about which humans she likes so hiring someone to help take care of her while i’m gone is. little stressful. I found Hunter on here and thought she would be a good fit and I was right! Freya was snuggling up and asking for belly rubs from her within 5 minutes of meeting Hunter! She provided me daily updates along with pictures of their walks and I really appreciated seeing that some of the days they got in some good miles since Freya needs that energy release. I will definitely be reaching out to Hunter in the future 💜”

About: I specialize in caring for small dogs under 15 lbs and truly understand their unique needs. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with shy, anxious, or sensitive pups. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved—whether it’s sticking to their routine, giving them plenty of playtime, or just providing calm companionship. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior changes, and overall well-being. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. Since I prioritize a calm and consistent routine, I’m able to spend quality time with your pup, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Small dogs especially benefit from close attention, and I make sure they never feel left alone or stressed. I live in a spacious and very clean downtown condo, which provides a calm and comfortable environment—especially ideal for small dogs under 15 lbs. Since I keep a tidy and well-organized home, I’m able to pay close attention to your pup and ensure they feel safe and relaxed at all times. There is a small park within my building/community, so I can take your dog out for fresh air and playtime in a safe and controlled setting. I also have a 6 lb small dog who is very well-trained, gentle, and friendly with other dogs. I always introduce dogs carefully and prioritize safety and comfort. If your dog prefers their own space, I can easily keep them separated as well.

“Heather is the best! Heather provided timely and comprehensive updates while caring for our pup! I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“Victoria is great! She is timely, responsive, and I can tell my dog looks forward to seeing her. She sends lots of pictures, and I definitely recommend her :)”

About: I treat your pets like my own family, blending 4+ years of Seattle pet-sitting experience with specialized care skills. Whether it’s administering medication, applying eye drops, or performing my signature ‘calming scalp massage’ to help with watery eye or anxiety, your pet’s health and comfort are my top priorities. From high-energy puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide a safe, loving, and professional environment. I live with my husband (profile pic 11) who often works from home and assists me with pet sitting, meaning your pet will benefit from the care and attention of two people. I have a highly flexible schedule. I am available throughout most of the week and during weekend afternoons and evenings. I can stick to your pet’s exact feeding or meds schedule and can tailor my visit length to your pet’s specific social needs, ensuring they never feel lonely while you’re away. Last-minute bookings are usually fine, just give me 24 hours’ notice if possible! I live next to Microsoft campus, where I take dogs on walks to every day. In my home, it’s a calm, pet-proofed space with zero hazards. If I’m coming to yours, I’m super careful about checking window screens and locks. I never force cats to socialize. Plus, I’ll send you plenty of photos so you know they’re happy and cozy staying with us!

“Eugene took such great care of my pup. He is very attentive to the individual needs of my pup and took a lot of time to ensure he was acquainted with us both. Excellent care!”

Stephanie H.

“Allexis is the best dog walker I've ever had! She is so communicative, kind, caring and flexible. My dog has struggled with some big life changes and transitions we've been going through and Allexis has been patient and loving with her. I've seen a huge difference in my dog's demeanor since Allexis and I've so grateful!”

About: We’re a dog-loving family who truly considers pets part of the home. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, and we have a very well-loved miniature dachshund of our own. We understand the trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care — especially when they’re family. My husband and I both help care for the dogs in our home, so your pet will always have attentive, responsible adults present. We work as a team to make sure each dog receives individualized care, attention, and supervision. We are a family-friendly home, and our toddler absolutely loves dogs and will likely want to be your pup’s new best friend. That said, all interactions are closely and intentionally supervised. We are very mindful about safety and never leave children and dogs unattended together. Creating a calm, secure environment is always our priority. Living with a dachshund means we understand breed-specific needs — including proper handling, back safety, and reading dog body language. Whether your dog is playful and social or more reserved, we adjust to their personality and comfort level. Your pup will be treated like one of our own — safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for dogs is part of our daily rhythm. We follow consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and a thoughtful balance of play, structure, and rest. Welcoming a pup into our home feels seamless because we approach care intentionally — with attention, supervision, and respect. Your dog won’t be an afterthought here; they’ll be cared for in a calm, structured environment. My husband works from home most of the time so your pet would rarely be left home without one of us. Our pets are family. They do whatever we are doing! Lots of love and attention are given, depending on your dogs needs we can take trips to the park or just a walk around the neighborhood. Our dog prefers a ride in the bottom of our child’s stroller. As you can see we do whatever makes your dog happy - so long as they are safe.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I grew up with a Dalmatian, shared 16 wonderful years with my beloved Pug, and now have an American Staffordshire Terrier that is 2.5 years old. Through training classes with my current dog, I've gained valuable knowledge in positive reinforcement, behavior, and handling. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing patient, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual needs. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. My own pup enjoys 3–5 walks each day, including one right after breakfast and another before bedtime to keep a consistent schedule. We also visit nearby parks for plenty of sniffing, exercise, and safe socialization with other dogs and people. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, I'm happy to provide visiting pets with the same dependable routine, attention, and affection they receive at home. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs to make the transition as stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. When introducing dogs to a new environment, I allow them time to explore and get comfortable before bringing out toys or other exciting items that could cause overstimulation or resource guarding. I provide plenty of supervision, maintain a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience where your pet feels happy, secure, and cared for while you're away.

“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”
