Dog Walkers in Gilberton, WA

“Naomi is awesome! Zoey loves to see her when she comes for her walk and I love knowing that she is being taken care of when I am at work. Thank you Naomi!”

“What an amazing treat for our 10 month old Labradoodle. This was the first time we've ever had anyone other than ourselves walk Bento. Tanesha immediately put us at ease and we could see that Bento was immediately drawn to her. It was so nice to come home and see his happy face, knowing that he had enjoyed a great walk when he otherwise would've been alone all day. After such a positive experience, we are hopeful to use her dog walking services again on a routine basis. Huge thank you to Tanesha for such a lovely experience. It's clear that she takes great pride in her work, and we feel very lucky to have found her.”

About: I've had my own pets both cats and dogs since I was in college. I understand what it takes to care for and love on both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I have a 50+ pound lab mix and 2 medium sized springer spaniels, in the past we had 2 miniature schnauzers so understand what's needed for big and small pets. I have lots of puppy experience and my 2 springers are geriatric girls needing extra patience and care. I'm happy to take care of rowdy, enthusiastic pets and more laid back furry babies as well. I'm currently going to school on-line to get my master's degree, and have 2 children in school, this gives me plenty of time during the day to care for your family members. I have 2 elderly dogs, 1 zippy younger dog and a cat-- which means I have a plenty of experience caring for animals of all ages. I work hard to make sure your fur babies are comfortable with me and have the patience to work with your pets so they trust me.

“Communication was great & Jennifer was very understanding with short notice changes due to weather.”

“Cindy has been walking my doggy for several weeks now and is a delight! Moon is very happy to see her and definitely has a better day after her walk. Cindy is consistent and communicative and I am really glad to have found her!”

“Kristin was so great! Took my pups on a walk for longer than expected. Took lots of pictures and gave me updates. I can tell she really enjoys dogs and takes good care of them. Thank you!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether that means getting on the floor to play with a high-energy pup or taking slow, gentle walks with a senior dog who needs extra care. I have experience with senior care (including administering medications and accommodating mobility issues). I’m also great at reading dog body language and making shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently a full-time at home student and stay at home partner so I have plenty of time for all your pets needs outdoors or otherwise! I have an apartment with some larger open spaces, a pet friendly couch, an outdoor porch, a walking trail 3 minutes away, and a dog park 15 feet from my door!

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my home and life. I’ve grown up with a wide range of dog breeds—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—and I’ve raised both a Standard Poodle and a Great Dane from the ground. As well as a precious Maine Coon kitty who I rescued! Over the years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting for members of my community and church, building long-term relationships based on reliability and care. I treat every pet like family—with patience, respect, and lots of love. My approach to pet care combines years of hands-on experience with a natural intuition for animals’ needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine thanks to the flexibility of my regular job. I have the freedom to set my own hours, come and go as needed, and take time off when necessary—allowing me to prioritize your pet’s needs without conflict or compromise. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or last-minute requests, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive care that works around your schedule and theirs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, respect their space, and give them plenty of attention and care based on their personality and needs. At home, I live with a well-trained Great Dane and an 8-year-old Maine Coon—both of whom I’ve raised since they were a puppy and kitten—so I’m very familiar with all stages of pet care, from playful beginnings to relaxed senior years. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and right at home—even my own!

“Christyn did an awesome job with Rocco. He had medical issues and she was able to accomplish all our requests. Rocco trusted her immediately and we feel confident is using Rover again. Thank you Christyn for a job well done!”

“Very friendly walker. Our puppy joy was immediately at ease with Emma, she was kind and caring for our energetic, goofy girl. Will definitely look for her in the future if we require extra help! Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 12. I had my own dog, have my own cat currently, and have watched and let sit many friends and family animals throughout the years. I currently work 5 days a week! Wednesday and Thursday are my free days. Monday I am usually available after 2pm. Tues/Fri, I can do mornings. Sat/Sun I can do mornings or after 6pm:) I have not had my own dog for a while but I have watched and taken care of plenty. I abide by the rules given to me by the pet owners as it is their fur baby, not mine so they know what’s best for them. If there’s a specific route they take or have a specific routine for their pet, then I follow!!

About: I've been running my own pet-sitting and dog walking business since college and absolutely adore spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes. Over my years of housesitting, I have stayed with dogs and cats of all ages and have gained a great amount of experience in caring for senior dogs - even those with specific medical needs (pill routines, care for diabetic dogs, dogs with skin conditions, etc.). I am also very familiar with caring for anxious dogs and will always show patience and understanding to meet the needs of pups who lean more towards nervous side. If you are interested in having me as your house sitter, please let me know at least a week in advance so that I can stop by to meet you and your pet and learn their routine. I know changes can be hard for some pets, so I hold great value in adapting to their schedule to ensure that they are comfortable and happy while their humans are away. I do not currently have other commitments outside of pet sitting, so I am available to spend as much time with your critters as they need! I may have to leave on occasion but will always ask your pet's individual time limit so that they are never home alone for too long. As mentioned, I am dedicated to your pet's comfort and will adapt to the daily schedule they have in their own home. This includes feeding and walking schedules, play time, and any other routines they might have.

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats and have always loved animals. I started out just watching pets for friends and family as a favor, but now have a work from home job with a flexible schedule. So Im always looking for a reason to get out and go for a walk! I am always looking for more reasons to get out and go for walks. I have a young daughter who has some medical complications, so I wear her in a front pack when we walk with dogs. I love the exercise, she loves being outside, and we both enjoy a good snuggle with our Corgi, Frank, or any new furry friend! I am happy to take your furry friend on a walk around the block or up to 3 miles at a time! I am comfortable using a variety of collars and training tools, and like to keep treats on hand for positive reenforcement. :)

About: I have been caring for animals all my life, I’m a believer that dogs and cats should be treated like they are your own children not just an animal. I will go above and beyond to care for your pet like it’s my own and utilize my broad spectrum of experience to create a custom care plan that suits your pets every needs and ensures they feel like family. In the past I’ve cared for dogs of all ages through all the stages of life. Some of my key experiences and abilities that set me apart from other sitters are the following. Training: I have trained dogs of all ages a majority of my experience comes with training younger dogs (2 and under) but I have also helped others with training of older animals. I believe positive reinforcement is the best method of training and should be used when ever possible. Medical needs: I have cared for dogs with a wide range of medical needs from caring for senior dogs to puppies with basic issues like worms. If you dog has any medical issues I’m able to administer oral medication (pills or liquid) and I’m able to do injections on tolerable dogs. If your dog is experiencing any issues I will ensure they are watched closely and you are updated daily/every visit with how they are doing. Care and communication: I will be ensuring your pet gets all the attention they could want and that all the needs they have are getting fulfilled. During my visit I will take notes of everything that goes on. Communication is one of my strong points and I’m willing to adapt to what ever level of communication you need. Adaptability: I can adjust to most any situation you have and will be able to provide you with a personal experience based on you and your pets needs and desires. Above and beyond caring for you pet: if you are away from home I am able to take care of routine house items to ensure you come back to a home that’s in the same or better condition than when you left. If you need anything like this please let me know prior to booking confirmation to ensure I’m able to provide these needs. My current work schedule has me being in office for 5-10 hours a week those days are relatively flexible and able to be adjusted to some extent. I will update my rover calendar to reflect my office hours and outside of that I’m normally available from 7am to 8pm but if you need care outside of those hours I am flexible and willing to work with you. If you book any appointments with me where your dog will be at my home there will be one other person (my wife in profile photo) and my dog (optional) who will interact with your fur baby. I have one dog at home who is an angel with other pets if I’m caring for your own dog in my home I will ensure they meet in a neutral place prior to me taking them in to ensure they get along and will be a good fit for each other. I have a dog park at my apartment complex that I’m able to take your dog to which often has other friendly dogs who love to make new friends

About: I have had dogs all during my childhood. My "brother" was a miniature poodle named Jo-Jo. I have had several dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds in my adult life and have experience caring for farm animals (pigs, sheep, goats, horses, cows and chickens). I was an assistant Dog 4-H leader and know basic dog obedience training and grooming. I have owned up tp 50 chickens at one time and sold eggs to restaurants. I have recently volunteered at a local animal sanctuary caring for farm animals. I am available every day of the week. I am retired with a part-time remote accounting practice so I take my work with me on pet sitting engagements. I only offer care in my client's home. I am not able to care for pets in my home. I would love to take your dog to a local park and walk.

“Winter is fantastic with my 9 year old lab mix. She has also been helping walk a friend's 1 year old Golden retriever and has been great with both of them. She is very flexible and reliable.”

About: While working as a pet groomer we had several pets be left overnight for boarding to which I had to tend to all animals who were left. So I’m already very accustomed to the whole pet boarding regiment and a professional level. I work an overnight schedule to which I’m able to set my own hours or leave at a moments notice should anything occur. I live in Bremerton and work in Bainbridge so I travel through all those cities. I have a big fenced in front and back yard on a lake property in a peaceful cul-de-sac. I’m happy to crate train a pet if need be. I’m also happy to groom your pet if need be.

“Dependable, consistent. Freckles loves her.”

About: I grew up with dogs, and have been a dog sitter for friends and family for as long as I can remember. As a teen, I didn't babysit much, but I would often dog sit for the neighbors. I can't wait to go for walks, play fetch, and cuddle up with your fur babies. Dogs have always loved me, and I love dogs! I'm very good at understanding a dog's body language and reading their moods. I'm very patient and know your dog will be missing you, and I know how important it is that they feel loved while you are away. I am available to walk your dog at least twice a day, minimum 30 minutes each session. And I'm available for potty breaks all day.

About: I am experienced with dogs. I worked for two year in a dog grooming facility, when you return I can have your doggy clean and brushed and I also can do toe nails. I love dogs and dogs love me. I always had dogs growing up and when raising my kids. I have lots of time and would love to spend some with your pets. I pay special attention to all instructions if your dog needs special care. I will give your dog all the attention he or she will need and then some! I am looking forward to working with your animal and promise to keep them safe and secure. I love all dogs, any size. Thank u and have a great day!! Arf!
