Dog Walkers in Fish Town, WA

“Morgan is great with our Gus! He is shy around other people and we wanted him to be more comfortable around other people--so we thought a dog walker was a good idea. Morgan is gentle and patient ith him. She's only been our dog walker for a short time, but when we say "Morgan's coming today" his head snaps towards the door in anticipation of her coming. We highly recommend her.”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up in a home full of pets—including cats, dogs, fish, and birds—I developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds. For over a year, I’ve worked at a boarding and grooming facility, where I started in bathing and drying, and then moved into a kennel technician role. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering care, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment for each pet in my care. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve also provided pet sitting and dog walking services for neighbors and friends, including care for senior and disabled pets. I’m confident, attentive, and animals are naturally drawn to the calm and positive energy I bring. **What Sets Me Apart** - Over a year of hands-on professional experience in a high-volume pet care setting - Familiarity with a wide range of breeds and temperaments - Experience with special needs and senior pets - Doggy seat belts in my car for safe and secure transportation - Strong attention to cleanliness, health, and emotional wellbeing Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I’m here to provide the same level of care and love they receive at home because they deserve nothing less. As a dedicated student, I’ve found that pet care is the perfect way to balance my schedule. Outside of my class times, I have open availability to focus fully on your pets—giving them the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a midday walk or overnight care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pets’ days brighter. While I’m unable to host pets in my home due to limited space, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of yours. I’ll ensure your pets are well-fed, have fresh water, and maintain clean litter boxes or enclosures. For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and park visits—plenty of fun and exercise! If your pup is friendly, they can even enjoy supervised play with my own dog for extra socialization. I’m also experienced with giving medications and have a strong understanding of animal body language, which allows me to recognize stress signals and respond appropriately. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Sarah T. is great! I have fairly sporadic requests with different frequencies and she is always communacative and accommodating! Howard is a happier pup on the days he gets a special walk!”

About: My affinity for dogs runs deep, rooted in a lifetime of experiences that began in foster care and blossomed when I was adopted into a loving family with two precious furry friends, Molly and Tyler. I cherished every moment spent with them – from watering and feeding to playful escapades in the great outdoors. As I navigated various social settings, whether at friends' homes or on the job, dogs would inevitably gravitate toward me, and I'd toward them. It was as if we shared a special connection, one that transcended words and spoke directly to the heart. Today, I live with two stunning Blue Heelers, Honey Sage and Smokey. These canine companions bring boundless joy to my world, and I'm constantly amazed by their ability to communicate with their hearts. As an empath, I find it especially rewarding to work with animals, tapping into their emotional landscapes and forging deep, meaningful bonds. I'm available to provide pet care services every day of the week, including boarding and daycare. I also offer pick-up and drop-off services and am happy to drive to accommodate your needs. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about my services. My Fenced-in backyard is a great space for dogs to play. I offer kennels/crates for dogs as needed, to ensure their comfort and separation when necessary. My two friendly Blue Heelers enjoy socializing with other dogs. I'll provide regular breaks every two hours and monitor behavior to keep everyone safe and happy.

About: I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. I have significant experience with special needs and senior dogs—providing the extra care, love, and dignity they deserve. I care for your pup as if s/he’s my own! I care for your house as if it’s my own! I’m extremely responsible, timely, gentle, patient, and clean. I’m active and love daily walks with your canine. Whether it’s special instructions for feeding, meds, walks, or bedtime, I’m ready to follow your (and your dog’s) precise needs. I’ve been petsitting (dogs and cats) for the past 25 years and my clients regularly refer me to their friends. Your fur babies are in trusted hands when they are with me. I look forward to getting to know your little (or not so little) one. I am able to spend evenings and nights with your fur babies. I currently an able to stop-in during the day as well. My own pets require me to stop in with them at least twice a day. I make sure all gates to back yard are securely closed, I am good at getting into the house without letting your dog escape. I take special care to make sure you pet is secure.

“Natalie was so kind taking a last minute booking from us on a holiday! She’s so polite and attentive to our pups. Would 10/10 recommend and book going forward.”

About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last two decades. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. Starting in September, I will be available to pet sit/dog walk seven days a week. I can do a drop in visit and check on your pet/house or take your dog for a walk. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals and/or house sit at your residence.

“Audrey was great! She was available on short notice for a next-day visit, was easy to communicate with, showed up exactly when she said she would, and did great with our Cavalier puppy! Will definitely be booking her again!”

“James was extremely flexible and very easy going. I was very comfortable letting him take my dog. My dog is really skittish and isn’t trusting of strangers. James was super patient with her and let he take her time bonding with him. Would hire again!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes from the smallest chihuahua to the biggest Great Dane. I have also taken care of my own animals for the past 10 years! I will do anything you need for your pets! I am looking for jobs and this will provide some extra cash until I can find something more permanent so anytime works as long as I have enough notice! I can crate dogs, feed them, groom if needed and care for them however you see fit. Cats aren’t my specialty but I love all animals and I can always help where needed!

About: I am a nurse with a very flexible schedule. On my days off you can find me hanging out with my pup. :) I enjoy pets of all types and sizes! I have always owned a dog since I can remember. I also grew up with cats, farm animals, and reptiles! I can assure you that I will take great care of your pet while you are busy or away, whether it be walking them, just checking in on them, hugs, kisses, or belly rubs. I do it all :) My number one priority is to keep your pet safe and happy! Also, I have 10 years of experience working with difficult/aggressive dogs. Having one of my own, I know the importance of keeping them safe and comfortable, but still getting them the exercise and love they need. I promise to treat them as if they were my own!! I am more than happy to keep you updated on your pet as much as you’d like! Since my dog is aggressive, i cannot keep your dogs/cats at my place. Sorry! I work varied days and hours each week so I will keep my calendar updated as best as I can. I usually know a month in advanced! I will always make sure they have the necessities and are walked/pottied as preferred. Anything else you need me to do- let me know and I can accommodate!

About: I have owned a variety of pets ever since I was born. I pet sit family friends pets often and I have a special spot for animals. I also am willing to babysit other animals. I have watched cats, dogs, and even a wallaby before and enjoy every second of it. I have helped my mom who has a medical background save a handful of pets including my own when they became ill. I am always one to take in homeless animals and make sure they are safe. I have taken in a few outdoor cats, turtles, and even kept a lost dog for the summer until I found its owner who went on vacation. I truly have a passion for animals and I feel like they might be apart of my future career.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a youth. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to regularly care for two labs- feed, water, bath, run. I’d love to play & care for your pup! I have a very open schedule; morning's, afternoons and evenings I should be around. Wednesdays and weekends I’m busy but MTTF I’m free to watch & care I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.

About: Hey there! Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Riley. I am happy to have the opportunity to take care of your pets. Growing up, there has always been at least one cat and dog in my home. And over the course of my life, I have owned seven dogs and six cats. I take personal pride in developing strong bonds with animals quickly. Making new friendships with animals and being able to support my community in meeting their animal care needs is something I love to be able to do. I started taking care of pets when I was around five years old. My responsibilities were feeding and watering, brushing, pottying, and playing. Since then, I've developed a passion for taking care of animals, and I hope to one day become a vet tech. If you have any questions or would like to get to know me better, please feel free to send me a message. As of Spring 2025, I have a very light school schedule: just one in-person class on Tuesdays (8:00–9:20 AM) and two in-person classes on Thursdays (10:00 AM–2:30 PM). I will be taking Summer 2025 off from school, so my availability will be even more open then. Outside of school, my schedule is flexible and very open. I do make time for things like self-care, errands, creative hobbies, or short personal outings, but when I am with your pets, they are my top priority. I intentionally structure my days around providing pets with a calm, attentive, and nurturing environment, which comes with walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply just peaceful companionship. When I am with animals, I love incorporating brushing, exercise and playtime, and enrichment into our routine. Snuggles are always a welcome bonus if your pet enjoys them! I provide regular potty breaks every few hours (or sooner if needed), always ensure water dishes are full, and stick closely to your pet's usual schedule and routines. I follow all care instructions carefully, whether it's feeding times, medication needs, specific walking routes, or household rules. It's really important for pets to feel safe and secure, especially when their people are away, so I am very attentive with pets' body language and behavior in order to identify their needs and wants, and to help them be more comfortable when I can. Because pets can feel vulnerable when their people are away, I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can better understand their needs and help them feel safe and secure. I’m more than happy to accommodate special care requirements. Let me know your pet’s needs when you reach out, and I’ll confirm whether I can meet them. My goal is to make the experience as smooth and positive as possible—for both your pets and for you. Please don’t hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns!

About: Growing up in a family with German Shepherds, I absolutely love dogs! We bred our beautiful dogs when I was in high school and after birthing and taking care of new born puppies, my love for and confidence in caring for dogs is high. I love exercising and taking care of dogs. I am comfortable with every type of dog, and am willing to go to parks, go on runs or hikes with your dog, play ball, or just take a simple stroll around the block! Your pup can expect scratches behind the ear, and the best belly rub they’ve ever had. Thank you for considering me - and I hope to hear from you soon! I create my own work schedule! I go into work in person from 11-3 every day, so I am free in the mornings and in the afternoon to care for pets! I have no children at my house and have pet friendly furniture. I do not have a fenced in backyard, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owners home where they are more comfortable.
