Dog Walking First Hill

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.

“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: I am so excited to care for your pets! I grew up in a house full of furry friends, so caring for them is second nature to me. During the last five years that I lived in Bozeman, MT, I became an experienced pet sitter and quickly became the go-to person for friends and neighbors whenever they needed someone reliable to watch their pets or pop in for check-ins. I’m working towards getting a bigger place and being able to adopt a pet of my own one day, so getting to hang out with your animals is truly the best part of my week! Because of that, your pets will get my absolute undivided attention, tons of affection, and the same care I’d give my own pets. I’m currently a law student, so my schedule is way more flexible than the typical 9-to-5 worker. I study from home a lot, which means I have plenty of availability throughout the day for midday drop-ins, flexible potty breaks, or just keeping your pet company. I am also totally focused on hitting my 10,000 steps every day, so you can count on your pet getting some excellent walks. Whether your pet needs a structured routine during the day or just a reliable buddy to break up their afternoon, I can easily fit them right into my daily routine! When it comes to caring for your pet, my top priorities are safety, trust, and following your routine or schedule. I really appreciate clear, detailed instructions, so if you need things done a specific way, I will follow any rules and schedules exactly as they are written. I am a big believer in communication, so you can expect regular updates and photo check-ins from me so you always know how things are going. If I am house-sitting, I will treat your home with total respect.

“Gabriel is fantastic! He is so sweet and gentle with our old lady corgi who has to be helped up and down stairs. He walks her twice a day during the week while we’re at work. He is punctual, dependable, and very communicative. We’re really grateful we found Gabriel and highly recommend him!”

“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!”

Claire G.

“Responsive, caring, and took great photos!”

Conor D.

“Jana is great with our big lab, Ryder. She walked him to the park, shared photo updates and a neat summary for the Rover card. 100% recommend!”

Sterling H.

“Jen was fantastic in every way - reliable, responsive, flexible, thorough, communicative, and most importantly, so sweet and caring of our sweet dog. He developed a hot spot right before we left town, and she helped take care of that, taking his cone off for walks and then putting it back on again when they got back to the house. We couldn't recommend Jen more highly!”

“Alijah was communicative and followed all instructions for my puppy's walks! She was very punctual and went above and beyond. I will definitely book again with her in the future when I need more pet care”

About: I have a long history of taking care of senior dogs and dogs with special needs/medical needs. I can give oral medication pretty easily, and if your dog has other needs just show me how to do it and I can learn! We used to have a dog with serious chronic medical conditions so we've pretty much seen it all at this point. We currently have 2 chihuahuas of our own - a sleepy 12 year old named Camel and a 6 year old party boy named CG. We also sometimes have a foster dog with us from a rescue shelter too, who can be any age, male or female, and always a small dog. I got my dog CG at 9 weeks old so I have puppy training knowledge too. Please note I can only board smaller dogs ~25 pounds or less. I'm in school with hybrid classes, so I'm only away for a few hours a week. I'm free all day most days. I have a small fully-fended outdoor patio with a potty area. I have 2 dogs of my own, both chihuahuas. My dogs usually sleep in my bed with me but I can also crate your dog if you want. One of my dogs has arthritis so we have dog ramps/dog stairs all over, and I'm used to carrying little dogs up the big stairs as needed. If we need to drive the dogs anywhere, we have a dog seat in the car and little doggie seat belts for safety.

“Emily is responsible, punctual, walks fast and is all around an amazing walker for our mini Aussie Billie. Thanks so much for the walks, Emily!”

“Erin has been wonderful to work with! Great communication on scheduling and feedback about my dogs. They loved her instantly on our meet and greet! Thank you Erin for taking care of them!”

Larenna H.

“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😁❤️”

“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 grew up in a household with 1 dog, 2 puppies, 3 cats, and a kitten. I got this, believe me. Dm me for deets. I work full-time from 8-4:30 but my workplace is 6 mins away from where I live. I can take care of your dogs from 5pm or overnight. My latest would be 8pm if not overnight stay. I live alone and most of the time, when I cat sit, it’s chill. There’s a lot of park within my area and it’s an animal-friendly neighborhood. I also have a yard fenced roof deck, a dog run and wash area in my complex. IMPORTANT: If your dog is pretty aggressive and can’t be tamed with a simple command, please find a new sitter. If your dog barks at almost anything at any time of the day, humps animals, and doesn’t listen, I’d rather have you find someone who has more tolerance for your pet. I live in an apartment and I can’t anger my neighbors just because your dog doesn’t know how to behave properly. I have had dogs who are quiet and calm when left being by themselves. If yours is one of them, then feel free to message me.

About: I've been taking care of animals pretty much my entire life, most notable being my Yorkie for about 18 years before she passed from old age. I have also cared for a guinea pig, fish, two cats, and 6 dogs. I understand the importance of an owner feeling safe for their pets (family) when their away and I will do everything to make sure they're happy. I'm open to care for pets anytime when needed throughout the week. It's not often I'm backed up with events that would prevent me from showing up. I always make sure pets get the proper care at the correct time so there isn't any accidents that may occur. A routinely schedule for them is incredibly important.

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: Hi, I’m Marie 🤗 I specialize in creating a detail oriented, engaging, and reliable experience for your pet while you are away. Although I specialize in cat care, I am open to dogs as well! One of my favorite things to do is capturing the essence of your pet through meticulously shot videos and photos. The goal is to create an experience where you feel more connected to your pet, even while you’re away. I am confident in being able to accommodate any needs your pet(s) may have. Thank you for trusting me with your baby(ies)! 😻 I prefer to cat sit during daylight hours on weekdays. However, I am open to weekends if you’re leaving on a longer trip (4+ days)! I am big on communication and will send lots of professional pictures and videos of your pet. Cats love a clean space so I make sure that any hair, food, litter, etc is cleaned during each visit. Even the oldest cats still enjoy mental stimulation, and I create engaging puzzles + games for all ages. I always follow the pace of your cat and will reach out about any interesting behaviors I notice in case you have more information on what your cat is trying to communicate to me. I can’t board any pets due to living in an apartment with 2 cats, so my preferred mode of care is drop in.
