Dog Walking Factoria

About: I'm a born dog person — my family has had dogs since I was 12. In 2021 we welcomed a black Labrador girl, and later her white Labrador puppy (they're my parents' dogs back home). Since moving to the US, I've become the go-to sitter for friends, caring for their dogs while they travel — including a month-plus stay with a Labrador. Besides Labs, I've also looked after Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, and Shih Tzus, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy herding breeds to gentle lap dogs. One thing that sets me apart: I'm an avid hiker and love taking dogs on trail adventures (with your permission, of course). You'll get plenty of photo updates, and I keep to your pup's usual routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime. I'm a product designer working from home in Bellevue, so your pup has company all day, every day. A typical day with me: three walks plus one long outdoor play session — and for active dogs, a trail hike if you'd like. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week, and I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm free. Your dog stays in my beautiful condo in Bellevue — I don't currently have pets of my own, so your pup gets 100% of my attention. There's a large off-leash field just a 3-minute walk away, perfect for safe play and exercise. I keep a clean, pet-safe home with secure doors, and I always follow your instructions for feeding, medication, and crate routines. I do a meet-and-greet before the first stay so we can make sure it's a good fit.

“Helen was SO easy to work with! She was very reliable, and my dog loved her (In fact I got the impression that he wanted to go home with her, lol, for real!). I'm so happy to have found her on Rover, as she will definitely be my go-to dog walker!! Thank you so much, Helen!! And Jones thanks you too!!”

About: Building trust with animals has always been a rewarding experience for me. I always had cats growing up, and when I came to the U.S. as an international student 10 years ago, I stayed with many host families who trusted me with taking care of their dogs and cats. I started volunteering for Petco Cat shelter in 2016, taking care of kittens and senior cats, monitoring their oral medications, and finding them second homes. I am now a cat mom of my 7-year-old black cat and a rescue orange cat. I will provide your furry babies with all my love and care during the days when you are away, and send you updates so you feel like they are with you the whole time! I currently have a very flexible schedule. I have another part-time job helping foreign exchange students find their host families which does not have a strict time schedule. I will keep my schedule up to date so I can help you in the most efficient way :) I take safety very seriously. I know that safety is key to building trust. I will communicate with you clearly about your expectations and your house rules so you feel comfortable having me in your home taking care of your pet family members.

“Toki was great with our two goldens and walked them a considerable distance each day which was appreciated. The house was in great shape when we returned.”

“Jackie is wonderful! Our dog was a bit nervous to have a stranger in the home but Jackie was very patient and kind with her. Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”

About: I have always loved dogs and I have my own pet husky, Axel! I think enrichment is crucial for pet care and I will keep your pup entertained with lots of love, exercise, and cuddles :) I recently graduated from UW Seattle and I am looking for pet-sitting gigs in the meantime. I love going for walks in the mornings and evenings to start and end my days. I will provide gentle care and walks and runs as needed. I can also provide basic grooming services like brushing and/or teeth brushing if needed.

“Jade is truly the absolute best! Charlie Ann is a very sensitive dog with lots of feelings, and Jade quickly became one of her favorite people. Jade has a deep respect for Charlie as a creature with her own personality, preferences, and desires. She pays incredibly close attention to Charlie’s subtle cues and has gotten to know her so well, honestly, better than many people who have known Charlie for years. Jade is also a phenomenal communicator. After every walk, I get thoughtful, detailed updates and documentation, and I always feel like I know exactly how Charlie is doing and how their time together went. I’ve truly never felt so comfortable trusting someone with Charlie so quickly. It is incredibly clear how much Jade cares about her, and knowing that Charlie is with someone who understands and respects her so deeply gives me enormous peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!”

About: Busy day? No worries—I absolutely love dogs! I’ll make sure your pup gets the walk, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Previously cared for a rescue terrier mix for five years. Now seeking opportunities to care for other dogs. I'm free for pet dog every weekday after 6 PM and would love to establish a regular routine. However, I am more than happy to accommodate one-time requests as well. This flexibility ensures that I can provide your dog with the attention and exercise they need. I ensure a safe, clean, and engaging environment for pets, providing routine care, attention, and communication. My focus is on making pets feel loved and secure, whether in my home or my clients' homes. I plan to focus on providing drop-in visits for playtime, feeding, and dog walking during weekdays.

“Even though our dog can be a bit tough due to his reactivity, Kseniia was able to redirect him and work with him very well! Will definitely book again :)”

“Heather was great! She has years of experience dealing with all types of dogs and that was evident when she walked my dog - who has more personality and quirks than you can shake a chuck-it stick at. I knew Heather was the right choice when my dog gave her tail wags and brought her a toy on their first at home visit. Generally he takes a while to warm up to people. Heather is responsive and punctual. I’d definitely hire her again!”

About: I have fostered dogs and cats on and off for 15 years. The last 6 years have been through R.A.S.K. I have fostered and owned all types of dogs. Don't worry if your dog has super high energy or if your puppy chews on everything. Im prepared and have plenty of experience. I'm a stay at home mom so im home all day. I do same day bookings and am flexible if you have last min changes. I have two 2 year old Lab/Husky mixes. They are 95lbs. My puppies are friendly and very active. I have raised them since 7 weeks old. They have been raised around all types of dogs and have no problems sharing their home. My house is perfect for dogs that need to burn up some energy. My back yard is huge! (100ft×100ft) . On warm days i have have kiddie pools for them to cool off in. They have access to the house through a doggie door. They are able to come and go as they please. I do close the dog door at night. I installed anti dig guards around my fence to prevent pups from trying to dig under. My house has central air conditioning as well as portable ac units if needed. I have a live camera in the back yard. You will have 24/7 access to camera. There is an option to veiw past recored events for that day. I have motion activated lighting throughout the back yard. Pet waste is removed from yard multiple times a day. I don't use crates or kennels. If your pup feels more comfortable being crated at night you would need to bring their kennel from home. Otherwise i let the dogs sleep where they want. I have plenty of dog beds for them. Most of the time i end up with all the dogs on my king size bed. My cat is dog friendly and is an indoor/outdoor cat.

“Dylan's incredibly helpful with my dogs and highly communicative, I can trust while I'm at work they'll be taken care of. Happy to book again anytime”

“Alison was AMAZING! She was very thoughtful and knowledgeable about how dogs play + walk. Benny is tired as can be, and that’s a happy pup to me! Will definitely be asking for her assistance again. :)”

About: I've been around cats and dogs most of my life and have a deep love and affection for them. As well, I recently started volunteering at Seattle Humane. I'm currently doing this part time, so I'm pretty flexible on availability on weekdays between Monday-Thursday. Though, for drop-ins, my clearest availability is between 8am-2pm. But again, I’m flexible. I can do overnights between 5pm-9am. I try to bring a calm, kind demeanor to the environment to put the cat(s) at ease; I will scoop the litter box, feed them, and if they show interest, play with them, and if not, I give them their space!

About: I have owned and taken care of many different animals throughout my entire life. Friends and neighbors regularly rely on me to take care of their animals while they are gone. I have taken animal science courses throughout all 4 years of my school where we learn about all kinds of animals including livestock and companion animals. In this class, we regularly go to peoples homes/farms and tend to their animals in many different ways such as vaccinating, trimming hooves/nails, properly restraining animals, feeding etc. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs in “doggy hospice” by regularly providing meds and shots, feeding, etc. as well as help raise newborn puppies. It is my goal as a pet owner to work hard and do lots of research in order to provide my pets with the best possible life, and I hope I can do the same for other peoples pets as well. I work full time, but when I am not working, I am always available to take care of any animals. Please reach out a few days in advance so I can make sure I’m free. I will treat your pet and your home like my own and make sure everything is taken care of. I will make sure your animal feels happy and loved.

“Melinda took a last minute walk request and did great with our two pups! Would definitely have her walk them again.”
