Dog Walking First Hill

“Andrew was great, made sure our pup was well taken care of with walks and food while we were out! Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking if we’re out of town again.”

“Veronique is so kind and caring! She makes sure Arnie is having a great time on his walks and always rewards him with a treat! Getting the regular updates and adorable pictures from Veronique after walks really helps put our minds at ease when we have to leave our pup during the work day. We are so thankful to have found Veronique! <3”

About: For over seven years, I volunteered with a rescue group, training and caring for dogs with behavioral issues and special needs. (Not to mention plenty of well-adjusted, healthy pups!) As the parent of a senior dog myself, I empathize with all of the emotions and apprehension that can occur (on both sides!) when pets are apart from their people, I understand how important it is to know your pets' caretaker is not only capable of providing the logistical support to keep your pet healthy while you are away, but that they genuinely care about your pet and their experience. In caring for your pet, I aim to provide you with the peace of mind that the furry piece of your heart you couldn't take with you is having a great time while you are away from home. I will learn your pets' routines and send regular updates to let you know how they are doing during your absence. I understand that animals are individuals, and what works for one dog/cat/other may not work for another. I have experience working with pets of a wide array of ages, energy levels, and medical needs, have experience managing intricate feeding and medication schedules, and have some experience administering (cat) insulin injections. If you have any questions, please ask away! As far as what I request from clients: If I will be staying in your home, clean bedding/towels are appreciated. Additionally, i am not likely to eat food you’ve left behind, so if something in your refrigerator or on your counter will expire before you return, you may wish to dispose of it before leaving. My job is currently remote as of the time I am writing this; so my care schedule for overnight stays can be somewhat flexible as long as you have a strong, secure WiFi. Additionally, I will need to stop home 1-2 times during the day most days to care for my own senior dog while their other parent is at work. This has not and should not cause a disruption for our stay, especially if you are located in (or within a short bus ride to/from) Capitol Hill or the Central District. I tend to be more of a night owl than an early bird. For walks and drop-in visits outside of overnight stays, I am generally available after 6:30pm on weekdays and after 1:30pm on weekends. Nobody knows your pets better than you, so I will follow your care instructions and take in anything else you think I should know about your best bud(s) during our time together.

“Liza was wonderful looking after my elderly dog when I was out of town! She sent lots of photos and followed the directions perfectly. I didn’t have cell signal and I forgot to send her my apartment door code! She texted my emergency contact and asked my neighbors until she found someone who could give it to her. Very thankful for her :)”

“I was away on a work trip and needed someone to walk my husky throughout the week. Katelyn was patient with our crazy husky who likes to pull on the leash. She is great at communicating and was super easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ryan is great with my dog. He is thoughtful, sends me updates of their walks and is always reliable. Definitely a keeper.”

About: I’ve grown up with and trained dogs since I was 3–german shepherds & golden retrievers. One of my family’s GSD had puppies at home and we raised the seven through 8 weeks and kept one! Through college, I dog sat a golden doodle on a weekly basis. I am quite familiar with the needs of high energy dogs, and love chilling with low energy pets too 😊 I have a hybrid work schedule, in the office tuesdays & wednesdays, but free in the mornings and after work even those days! I get up early and work out most days with time still before my meetings at 830, so mornings are easy for me to stop by and check in, take your pups on walks, or hang out with them for a bit! My schedule when I’m working from home is a bit more flexible and I can fit in drop ins during the day too. After work (after 5) is no problem any day. With enough notice I can make almost any time work! I can easily pick up your pets regular routine, I love to maintain consistency so feel free to give me all the details! I am happy to work with you to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible!

“Aubrey is great!”

About: I've had dogs, cats and other pets my entire life up until college! I've taken care of my own as well as my friends' and family's pets. I honestly probably get along better with animals than I do with people! Haha! I feel comfortable sitting dogs, cats, other small/medium animals, and even plants! I am a college student but I don't have any classes during this season-if anything I will only be working on occasion. I have the capacity to take care of your fur baby/ies during any day of the week! I don't have a yard! 😊 BUT there are a lot of parks around, (Cal Anderson, Volunteer, UW) and lots of grass and space to walk and play! Because of my HUGE love for animals, I have the capacity to play with them for hours at a time! I have a roommate as well who has lots of experience and is able to watch them if I need to leave to do something! Your pet will always be in a very loving and respectful environment in my care!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, including Maltese Yorkies, Labradors, and Bull Terriers. My background includes administering medications, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, and providing reliable overnight care for multiple pets. I am attentive, dependable, and committed to ensuring every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work for Amazon, which allows me flexibility in my schedule. I have the option to work from home or go into the office at different times, making it easier to adjust to your pet’s needs. I can also bring dogs with me to work, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Whether it’s daytime walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to provide consistent and dependable care tailored to your dog’s routine. I live in a brand-new mid-rise building with secure entry and a designated dog relief station, making it safe and convenient for regular potty breaks. Your pet’s comfort and security are my top priorities—I’m attentive, experienced in administering medication, and committed to creating a calm and loving environment.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors for years, which taught me how to read each dog's personality, follow different routines, and make every pup feel safe and comfortable. Today I have tow dogs of my own, so caring for them is part of my everyday life. My favorite part of the day is getting outside with dogs. Whether it's a relaxed stroll, a run for high-energy pups, or playtime at the park, I love helping dogs get their exercise and have fun. I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I'm always happy to send updates and photos so you know they're having a great time. I work part-time, so I'm available on weekdays with flexible timing. I can fit walks and drop-ins around your schedule, whether that's mornings, midday, or afternoons. I'm happy to follow your instructions for entering your home and caring for your dog, and I'm always respectful of your space. I make sure leashes are secure on walks, check that doors are locked when I leave, and make sure that your pup has fresh water before I go.

“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😁❤️”

About: Hello! I have grown up with dogs and cats and have been taking care of pets all my life, from my sister's 120+ lb dogs, to catsitting for neighbors and friends. I am available for day dog walks, weekend cat sitting, and anything inbetween. I am currently working part-time so I am flexible on time! With ample notice I can be available on weekends for boarding as well. I love going to new dog parks, long walks, and playing fetch with your dogs! I have reliable transportation and can easily get to your pets.

“Shaw has been a super awesome dog walker. Extremely reliable and good with my pet. Definitely recommend :)”
