Dog Walking Esperance

“Eric was so great! He came and did a short introduction with Scout before the day of the walk which was really helpful. Scout really liked him and I loved all the pictures he sent on their walk.”

About: I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that pets are family members, Friends and family have asked me to care for their pets. And I have enjoyed doing it every time. I am retired but have always been active and look forward to meetingand playing with varied dogs and cats. I currently live with a found kitty that climbed over my back fence 2 years ago. While I can be playful I am serious, reliable, experienced with life. I am a Seattle Native raised and lived in the North End most of my life. I am familiar2 with Edmonds, Shoreline, Lynnwood, and other surrounding areas. The Interurban Trail, Lake Ballanger, and other parks are familiar walks.

“Kendra followed the instructions that I gave her perfectly! I felt super comfortable leaving a key for her to walk my dog, she sent me photos after the walk while I was at work which was super comforting. She even put eye drops in her eye. I would 100% book her again.”

“Daniel was great. He picked up Hatchi and took him for a good mile walk. I was a little nervous handing my puppy over to someone I do not know, but Daniel took the time to come meet with me the day before Hatchi' s scheduled walk and I appreciated that. I will definitely be booking him again to walk Hatchi.”

About: I am a mom, a semi-retired ex-Nordi employee, and am currently a part-time school bus driver, and I understand the importance of providing great service and of being responsible for the safety of others' loved ones. I bring extensive experience owning and caring for dogs, having grown up with, dog-sat, and owned various breeds. I love all dogs and have a special place in my heart for bully and pittie-mix breeds. My 2+ years of volunteer experience at PAWS have also provided me with valuable experience caring for dogs with different temperaments and personalities. I've taken dog-training classes at Ahimsa in Ballard, where I learned positive, force-free training techniques. Additionally, I have owned and cared for Cats, Sun Conures, Guinea Pigs, Beta fish, and even an Axolotl! As a part-time school bus driver, I am home a lot on weekdays, always home in the evenings, and on weekends. Your precious pup(s) will have near round-the-clock attention! I have also done dog-sitting at the owner's house. Our house is pet-safe, with a spacious, fully fenced backyard, and is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac within a quiet neighborhood. We currently have no pets of our own and live in a stable, friendly household. I will not board more than one dog at a time UNLESS they are from the same household/owner; in that case, I can board up to 2 dogs. The cul-de-sac is pet-free, so your dog will be safe and secure while they are showered with loving attention and treated with the utmost care & kindness. They'll enjoy a comfortable pet bed, toys, playtime, walks, and their favorite meals. If they like to visit the dog park and you'd like them to get some doggie playtime, I'm happy to accommodate! Frequent walks needed? No problem! Special Dietary/Medication needs? OK! Need a Zoomie-session? All-in. Quiet time & snuggles on the couch needed? 100% YES. In addition, I'm always very happy to provide you with many updates and photos during their stay!

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with a Lab, which shaped my early understanding of dog behavior and care. As an adult, I raised my own dog, Juniper, from a puppy. She’s a rescue, and working with her has given me hands-on experience with training, routines, and daily care. I also regularly foster dogs through various Seattle area rescues, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments. Because my own dog can be fearful at first, I understand the importance of moving at each dog’s pace, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Juniper is friendly and does great with foster dogs, and my older cat tends to keep to himself when we have other pets or guests over. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t be left alone for more than three hours. I also have a crate available if that’s part of your dog’s routine. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, providing a safe and peaceful space for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I treat every dog like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and thoughtful care while you’re away. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs, routine, and personality so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home: Dogs stay in a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I follow your dog’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. They will have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, along with a cozy indoor space to relax. I can also accommodate crate training and any specific routines your dog is used to. In your home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and playtime. In all cases, I provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

“Kyle is a pro! He showed up on time, my dog instantly took to him. Kyle has a very calm steady energy that made my dog feel safe and at ease. I was looking for someone strong that could handle my high energy, extremely strong pit bull. He was great with my dog and gave me confidence that he could handle and keep my dog safe. I'm looking forward to Kyle being our go-to dog walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the past few years for neighbors mainly. For the past year I would go over to a family friends house three days a week to play with her cats to get their energy out! I’m currently working part time. I have a pretty flexible schedule working about 6 hours, 3-4 days a week including weekends. I have plenty of time for your fur babies! I give pets all the love they want and when they want space I give it to them too. I want the pets to feel comfortable in their own home.

“Amanda is a reliable, communicative, and kind person. Blossom loves her and is ready for her walk as soon as she hears her voice! My Mom and Blossom are at Cogir Memory Care, and Amanda is respectful and comfortable in that setting. Amanda is wonderful and I would undoubtedly hire her again :)”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep empathy, patience, and lifelong commitment to animals. While I do not offer professional training, I have a wealth of experience that money cannot buy: providing compassionate, dedicated care to senior pets and animals with health challenges. ​Throughout my life, I have loved and cared for my own pets from youth through their golden years, learning firsthand how to give them the highest quality of life, comfort, and dignity during their old age. I know how to maintain gentle routines, administer specialized care with patience, and offer the calm, loving environment that older or delicate dogs need. ​Please note that my primary language is Spanish and my spoken English is basic, but I am always practicing, and I communicate perfectly to give you daily updates and follow your exact instructions to keep your furry family member safe and happy. As a professional oil painter, I have total time flexibility. I can easily visit your pets whenever needed. For longer stays, I can even bring my small portable easel and work on my art right there with them. I don't need much space! I can paint, watch them, and play with them throughout the day, ensuring your pet is never lonely and always safe I provide care exclusively at the owner's home, where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. I strictly follow your house rules and safety routines. Whether your pet prefers open space to play or needs quiet time in their designated area, I adapt completely. I ensure your home stays perfectly clean and secure while providing constant love, supervision, and companionship to your furry family member. I offer basic dog bathing, blow-drying, and brushing. I am not a professional groomer, but I can do simple machine trims/shaves only if you provide the clippers and equipment. I do not do complex or professional scissor styling. Standard rate is for a basic bath; extra trim services can be adjusted before booking

“Lily stepped in to walk my very anxious lab mix when I had to stay home with my other dog as she recovered from surgery. My pup Luna had never been walked by a stranger, and I was terribly worried how she’d react, but Lily came by, introduced herself, and was able to earn Luna’s trust and affection from day one. I can’t thank her enough!”

About: Travel plans but can’t bring your furry best friend? No problem! This will be your pets second home! My home is a fun, safe and comfortable environment for your furry one to stay at and we are excited to have you! 🐾🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds since the early age of 12. My family would get a new puppy during the summer months where I was home during work hours and had the full responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, play and trained basic obedience. I have always loved living in a home surrounded by dogs giving them unlimited belly rubs, snuggles, and taking them to play. Today is no different as I have my own dog Kronos and work closely with a professional dog training business to help assist in boarding, basic obedience training, dog walking and bathing when needed. I work full time only 3 days a week, giving me 4 days a week of unlimited time for me to spend taking care of your furry best friend for you. I host a small amount of pets at a time to ensure quality time and care for your pet(s). BEFORE BOOKING: I would love to meet with you and your furry best friend(s) first to ensure it will be a good fit for you :) I currently work full time only 3 days a week, therefore I have unlimited time 4 days out of the week to care for your furry best friend. CALENDAR AVAILABILITY: Please note the Rover Calendar is set for my available days for drop in visits and dog walking services only. If you are inquiring about boarding directly please message me as I have unlimited and open availability 24/7 7 days a week at this time. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard for easy potty breaks and play. There is a small park area in my neighborhood as well. My neighborhood is friendly and easily accessible for walks. I live close to a lake so leisurely dog walks and/or play can take place there as well. I own a dog pacer (dog treadmill) if poor weather conditions are in place so your furry friend can still get their exercise in and their energy out. My own dog who is a service dog is fun, high-energy and loves to play, run, and go for walks so we likely would be accompanied by him too. My vehicle is dog friendly with a kennel in the back for safety during car rides to go places if you and your furry friend prefer. I have kennels in my home and elevated dog beds to ensure a safe place for your furry friend to go. For boarding, your dog MUST be crate/kennel trained. This is import to ensure safety, decompression, rest and a less stressful environment in an unfamiliar place.

“This was our first time using Scott and he was Great!! He sent pictures and gave updates about each walk with the pups. We felt very comfortable with Scott and will be using him in the future. Thanks Scott!”

About: I started caring for animals when I was still at school. I am from Ukraine and my first animals were stray dogs and cats, I treated them, fed and cared for them as best I could. At home we had 2 cats and 2 dogs. My family and I moved to America a year ago and I have a daughter who is 3 years old and a son who just turned 4 months old, so I am at home all the time and would love to take care of your pets. I currently have a baby and have a toddler as well, for this reason I prioritize caring for cats or not large and active dogs. I am available from 8am-8pm Monday through Friday, I can sometimes be home on Saturday and Sunday as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a school where I can walk my kids and your pets. There's a place near our house where we can go out too.

“Cindy was kind, a good communicator and my dog Honey had a great walk.”
