Dog Walking Downtown

About: I have 14 year old black lab and have raised her for all 14 years. Taking care of a senior dog has its challenges and I’m proud to say I’ve risen to meet them. I’m looking to walk some dogs in my spare time and meet some cool dogs along the way I have 3 days off a week and am looking for something to fill Sundays - Tuesdays. I can be flexible with my schedule if our proximity meshes well I have a doggy gate in my apt and can isolate my dog if needed. She’s 14 and lived with cats before, shes very chill around cats

“Alison took great care of my pupper and went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and clean when he got home, top rate work that I hope to repeat!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been helping care for them since I was a child. My family had a Black Lab, a Dalmatian, a Basset Hound, and a whole lot of Beagles, so I’m very familiar with dogs that have plenty of energy and personality. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and activity levels. I offer relaxed, one-on-one weekend daycare and only host one dog at a time, so they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and company throughout the day. I live on Capitol Hill just a few minutes from Cal Anderson Park, where I already spend a lot of time walking and relaxing. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine. I keep my daycare day completely free, so your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. We’ll have plenty of time for walks, play, relaxing, and whatever routine your dog is most comfortable with. My home is clean, open, and uncluttered, with no obvious hazards for a visiting dog. I only host one dog at a time, so I can keep a close eye on them and give them plenty of individual attention. I’ll also follow any specific routines, rules, or instructions you provide.

About: Think of me as the cool aunt who skipped kids (dogs) because #broke and now has so much pent up love to give to your fur babies! Through high school/ college I raised a mini poodle named Teddy who now lives back home with my mom <3 I was a personal assistant for 1.5 years where my duties included walking/ feeding a poodle and a mini poodle 2-3 times a day, 5x/week. I would also house/ pet sit, and take dogs to grooming appointments. I have also done pet check-ins for friends over the years! I have most experience with 1-2 dogs at a time, and with smaller to medium sized dogs. I work from home 9-5 M-F, so I have a very flexible schedule :) I can do overnights no problem, and I can also do prolonged stays if you wouldn’t mind me using your dining table to take a couple work meetings on my laptop here n there! My schedule allows for me to helicopter parent your dog if you want me to! I can spend as little or as much time as you need, and I can work pretty well with your current feeding/ walking schedule to reduce stress on your dog. I can send you frequent updates (including cute pics) and take care of some household tasks if it makes sense to! (I am a Capricorn)

“Sarah was amazing with my dog! He was very anxious and had some adjustment issues, and she communicated with me through it all and was very patient managing through it. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Experienced in day-caring and boarding dogs. Have a two year old Cavapoo at home in which I can provide a clean, safe, and entertaining place for your doggy. I walk pets as a way to relief myself from home working environment. Furthermore, interacting with pets also helps my stress relief and I am happy to keep this a daily routine. I had a cage and fence for my dog when he was a younger one, we have potty trained him and rewarded him. He was free ranged in living room and common spaces besides bedroom and bathroom now.

About: I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of many breeds, including paid and volunteer pet-sitting services. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I especially love taking dogs on long walks and giving them plenty of exercise and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM, so I’m available for pet care before or after work and on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walks, check-ins, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have lots of experience caring for pets in their owners’ homes and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and carefully follow all instructions from their owner. I treat every home and pet with respect and make safety, trust, and your pet’s happiness my priorities.

About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.

About: I grew up with a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, so I’ve had experience caring for dogs from a young age. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with your dog’s usual routine. While most of my experience has been with smaller dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly medium and larger dogs and would love having a walking buddy! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m completely free on Mondays! I can easily stop by for check-ins, feeding, walks, and some quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to have pets stay with me, including overnight, if you prefer a more home-away-from-home experience. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a designated pet relief area, and my neighborhood is very walkable with plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I’ll always follow each owner’s instructions and their pet’s usual routine closely, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home.

“This is the second time we have used Akiko and for a second time she has exceeded our expectations. At the risk of making her too popular, at least amongst discerning pet parents, I cannot recommend Akiko more highly. She is a delight to work with, a delight to communicate with and the dogs are always improved when we return. That is impressive in itself because our dogs are practically perfect in every way already. ;-) In a nutshell: you would be very fortunate to book Akiko for dog walking or house sitting. Very fortunate indeed.”

About: I’m a caring and responsible pet owner who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your dog. I have a 2-year-old dog that I’ve raised since birth, so I have hands-on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, potty training, basic commands, walks, playtime, and creating a consistent daily routine. When caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Depending on the service, I can provide walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine, training, feeding, or other needs. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and preferences. I’m patient with younger dogs who may need extra supervision and consistency, while also being attentive to dogs who prefer a calmer pace. I take communication and reliability seriously and will do my best to keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and care that I give my own. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have a 2-year-old dog of my own. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving plenty of attention. Caring for pets fits naturally into my schedule, and I’m comfortable making sure each dog gets the time, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I care for every pet by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also follow any special instructions from the owner, including feeding preferences, medications, or training routines.

“Responsive, adaptive, and eased my first time booking a walker for my recent rescue.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for nearly 20 years. Growing up with three family dogs taught me how to care for pets through every stage of life. From daily walks and playtime to swimming, feeding, and plenty of affection. I also grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and regularly walked, checked in on, and cared for neighbors' pets while their families were away. Friends and family have continued to trust me with their pets over the years, and for four years I lived with my roommate's dog, helping with daily care and treating him like he was my own. I'm comfortable following routines, adapting to different personalities and energy levels, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a freelance photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm typically available Monday through Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. for walks and drop-in visits, and I'm often able to accommodate weekend requests as well. Whether your dog is ready for a long walk or your cat just needs some company and care while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. You can also expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos during each visit. I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away! I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll always respect your space, follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, and care for your home with the same attention and respect I would my own. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up after walks, scooping the litter box, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have experience with dog sitting for a family member on and off if they were out for the day or on a trip out of town for a longer period of time. I also sat for a friend that has both a cat and a dog. My other skills include babysitting (I have done this while dog sitting at the same time) and some experience in senior home care. For a period of 6 months, I took care of another family member managing their tube-feeding, medications, and working together with the nurse team to communicate updates, issues and check in on appointments. I do work online, currently building a business. I try to schedule my work around typical business hours (between 8am-5pm) but can adjust around for pet care sits or visits since I'm remote. I do most tasks Monday-Friday with the most availability being on the weekends, most specifically Saturdays. I am very good with taking directions on pets' needs. If they have a certain schedule or specialized regimen, I make sure to keep track and make sure the same rhythm is kept as if the owner is still with them. I also respect the ground rules of a client's home knowing that they are trusting to me by allowing me the visit. I also like learning the different personalities so I'd like to try and bond with the pets even if it's for a short time!

About: I have taken care of family dogs for many years, and have raised my own two Golden Retrievers from 8 weeks old. I have always loved animals and love learning how to communicate with them. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can work with whatever requirements you have. I also live downtown with a car, so I can drive to you. I am happy to take your dog for a walk, give them pets/cuddles in your home, or play with them in your yard! I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once (if you have more than one) or can take your pups for individual walks if needed. I will treat your animals as if they were my own!
