Dog Walking Downtown

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'm a true Pisces who enjoys time with dogs more than humans. You'll find me on long walks, paddle boarding (when weather allows) and enjoying Seattle's many parks and beaches I live an active lifestyle and enjoy caring for animals and ensuring they are cared for and loved so that they can thrive in the city. Safety is key to my care. I know these pets are part of your family and aim to show them the care and attention that they need.

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.

“My puppy and I needed someone who is reliable and consistent in terms of scheduling; we got super lucky to have found Brenda! She is communicative and a very kind person. She takes extra steps to get to know your pup and always seem so excited to spend time with him hehe. Very happy that I can rely on Brenda and grateful to have her as our dog walker!”

About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I have grown up with all sorts of animals: dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and cows. Currently, I am an Aunt to one energetic golden retriever and 2 cats. Over the past 5 years I have watched dogs and cats in the city for friends and co workers and would love to watch your fur baby too! I have experience with caring for dogs with anxiety and elderly pets. I am a pretty active person who loves hiking and checking out new places in the city. I work full time from home. Usually my work hours are set in CST so I start early and end early afternoon, leaving a very flexible schedule with lots of time and energy to spend with your pets! I am very easy to communicate with and love spending time outside. I am easy to work with whether it’s for a quick check in, walks while you are away or reliable boarding. I live in an apartment but there are fenced in pet areas on the property. I also own a vehicle to take pets to the park, drop off/pick up or sitting at your home. I have worked in hospitality for over 15+ years. I know exceptional care is all about trust, attention to detail, and personalized service. I’ll treat your beloved pets with the same level of care and dedication we provide to guests at our five star properties.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10! I grew up with multiple dogs and even taught them fun tricks, one of them learned how to skateboard. 🛹🐶 I work fully remote and only accept one dog (or one family's pets) at a time, so your pup will receive plenty of attention in a calm, loving home. I treat every dog like family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. 🤍 I work fully remote, so I'm home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pet lots of attention. My evenings and weekends are flexible too, so they'll have plenty of company and care. 🤍 I have a clean, pet-friendly home and don't have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention. I only care for one pet (or one family's pets) at a time to provide a calm, comfortable environment.

“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: 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!

“Responsive, caring, and took great photos!”

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

About: Hi! I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Vietnam, my connection with dogs started when I was really young—I used to help my mom bathe and feed our family dogs, and I even helped hand-feed a litter of newborn puppies when their mom didn't have enough milk! That early, hands-on care gave me a deep, intuitive bond with animals, and my friends actually joke that I’m a bit of a "dog whisperer." Fast forward to today, I’m the go-to pet sitter for my cousins, and I've even helped train their dogs from the time they were little puppies. Whether I'm working on basic commands with a high-energy pup or just cuddling up with a big, beautiful fluffy white dog, spending time with animals is genuinely my favorite thing to do. I absolutely love being outdoors, and I'm totally used to getting my steps in around Seattle, rain or shine. Because of my hands-on puppy training experience, I’m super comfortable reinforcing good leash manners and handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ll make sure your dog gets a great, safe workout and comes home happy and tired out! I am currently looking for a full-time job and trying to make some extra cash to cover my living expenses. I am very flexible about time as long as you let me know ahead of time. I will definitely arrange my schedule and help provide your pets with a joyful walk or a lovely home visit! I provide home drop-in service, so whenever and wherever you need my care for your pets, please feel free to reach out to me. I will give your pets real companionship while you’re busy or out of town. It’s never just a quick potty break and a food bowl refill with me—we’ll actually play, cuddle, and hang out so they don’t feel lonely. And if you have kitties too, even better! I love cats just as much as dogs and would be thrilled to care for your whole furry crew. I can’t wait to meet your pets and treat them exactly like my own!

“Bruce was excellent, communicated perfectly, and clearly loves dogs. He helped me out when I couldn't walk my sister's dog. My sister and I will definitely request his help in the future. Thank you Bruce!”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

Alexa N.

“Incredibly good at what he does and more importantly is a good person - cares, knows how to communicate, if flexible if things come up, loves dogs.. highly recommend Jeffrey”

About: I have a lot of experience with elderly dogs. The last dog I adopted was 16 years old when I picked him up from the shelter; he had been left there over COVID and he required a lot of nail care, tooth brushing, and regular bathing. I have patience for older dogs and I think that they're just as precious as puppies. I work events security/wedding catering and tend to only really work Fridays-Sundays but I have availability on the weekends sometimes. I am able to share screen captures of my schedules while coordinating or setting up longer term care schedules I will keep the owner updated with photos and periodic text messages to let them know how their pet is doing in my care as well as try to plan ahead and keep clear communication throughout

About: I was raised in a house filled with rescue animals, and have loved all kinds of creatures since I was young. I have two sweet cats, one I've had for 13 years and another that I just recently rescued from a beach in Belize and have brought home. I'm great with dogs and cats of all types, and have neverending patience when it comes to making a new animal friend. I can also help with other pets if given direction. I have been a trusted caretaker for my friends and family's animals for years, and can give medicines, feed, clean and bathe when necessary. Very willing to take your dog (or cat) on a nice long walk, or hang out with them at your home! I work part time and from home so I can be very flexible on any scheduling needs you may have. Just message me and we'll find something that works! I will keep your fur babies so safe! From making sure all doors are kept closed tight, leashes and harnesses are secure and all food and medicine protocols are followed. I am very aware of treating all animals and homes with respect, kindness and care and promise to keep them safe. I'm also smoke/alcohol/drug free and very reliable and organized.

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!
