Dog Walking in Guide Meridian, Bellingham, WA

“My puppers Bumbles adores Paige! Not very often you find a Dogwalker/sitter who understands the importance of exercising your dog’s mind, not just their legs.”

“Malia is so sweet! Moose had such a good time on his walk today! I know he’s going to be tired and sleep well! Thank you!”

“My dog Arthur is always so excited to see Stone! They have developed a trusting bond which I really appreciate since Arthur is an anxious lad, and he's always nice and tired when they get done!”

“When my regular dog walker unexpectedly had to leave for an out-of-state commitment, she referred us to Alaina P. She was awesome! I asked Alaina P. to join my regular dog walker for a walk (paid, of course!) and she readily agreed. It was great knowing that she would be able to meet my dog, learn her routine and have any questions answered before my dog walker had to leave. Alaina was on time, attentive and caring. 5 stars! *****”

“Kelly Jo was great! She was reliable, communicative and so sweet! My pup had a great time with her and I was so happy to receive pictures and messages while I was away. Definitely recommend!!”

“Kallie is amazing! So sweet and my dog loves her. I feel so much better about working long shifts at the hospital knowing my energetic pup is getting some love and exercise.”

“I have known Tatyana for many years and have watched her care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. She is affectionate and playful while also maintaining healthy rules and discipline. Her two dogs are some of the happiest and best trained I have ever met but she also handles my untrained rascals with care and patience. She’s trustworthy and reliable. I’ve trusted her with my dogs’ care in the past, and absolutely would do so again.”

“Gabby is communicative and trustworthy- we are super thankful to have her taking care of our pup!”

“Annashaye was so incredibly accommodating last minute and treated my guy to a great walk. Will definitely use again!”

“Joseph is such a caring pet sitter! After helping me for the past couple months, I would recommend him to anyone! He’s a very kind person and we’ve never had anything out of place.”

“Eden grew up in a household with both cats and dogs! She is amazing with animals and understands both their physical and emotional needs. Eden is reliable and trustworthy and she will be there when she promises. She will make sure your pets are well cared for and she will treat your home with care and respect as well.”

“Ryan was great! Loved that he came by the day before to meet the dogs and familiarize with the area he would be caring for/walking our dogs in. Ryan was also great about communicating when he was coming and going and sent photo updates. We'll definitely book with him again when we need some extra help!”

“Jean was so prompt with responding to my walk request! She was so professional and just an all-round bubbly person. Will definitely be reaching out to her again with help in caring for our pup!”

“We’ve been so grateful to have Audrey walk our dogs and house sit for us! Our 3yo pit mix always comes back tired and happy. She is super courteous and tidy when house sitting and sends sweet photos. I highly recommend her.”

“We have an older maltepoo, Lyla, who periodically requires wound care and medication. I know that Emma will address these things exactly the way I would and I don’t have to worry when we are away. Lyla also loves to play fetch and Emma will make sure that she gets her fill! If attention to detail and TLC are priorities when you are looking for a dog sitter, Emma will deliver! 🐶 💝”

“Katie and her family watch my dog, Max when we go on vacations. They do a great job and when I pick him up he is always happy and worn out from playing. It’s nice to have him around other dogs as well!”

“Karla loves my sweet 14-year-old lab. She cared for him at my house and her house for 3 weeks, giving him his medicine, throwing a ball, and taking long walks. She sent me photos of their adventures so I knew he was getting his exercise. My pup has difficulty getting in and out of a car, but she set up her car in a way that made it easy for him, lifting him carefully. I trusted Karla with my best friend and she more than met the challenge.”

“Kaylie was amazing. She sent me pictures, videos and comments that let me know how my dog was doing. Usually my dog Candy is sad when I’m away and doesn’t warm up to people. After a day with Kaylie my dog was snuggling with her and giving her kisses. That never happens!! I will definitely hire Kaylie again.”

“Meghan is a pet lover. She has often pet sit for us and our friends and neighbors. She also really seems to enjoy being around dogs and they love her back. Meghan is very personable and caring.”

About: I started dog walking for neighbors in 2001 and continued to do so off and on for a decade. I pet sit for my neighbors in 2011 in exchange for the wifi password. I have a one-story apartment with a partially fenced yard and lots of natural light. I am one of those people who 100% crawls around on all fours to play with animals, regardless of my scoliosis. I have a relatively set sleeping schedule so the pets who board with me will have some sort of consistent structure for however long they are with me. I have a series of beds from a previous pet as well as a baby gate for sunny days and a set of stairs for my bed if needed for older/special needs animals. I work a full-time job that is a 10-minute drive from my place and the lunches are 30 minutes long. This works well for boarding since they will never have to be alone for more than 4.5 hours. I have Fridays and Saturdays off and I like to use them for Adventure Days. The manager for my apartment complex is aware that I am a pet sitter and will be informed when there are pets in my apartment. Though this information is not relevant to the animals, it is relevant to my emotional wellbeing: my pronouns are they/them/theirs. Thank you for being an ally!
