Dog Walking In Hidden Valley

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite

“Denys has been walking my two dogs for a while now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is caring, responsible, and my dogs absolutely love him. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. He’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for and happy. He’s also very flexible, which we appreciate given our sometimes hectic work schedule. I would highly recommend Denys to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker.”

About: We’re a dog-loving family who truly considers pets part of the home. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, and we have a very well-loved miniature dachshund of our own. We understand the trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care — especially when they’re family. My husband and I both help care for the dogs in our home, so your pet will always have attentive, responsible adults present. We work as a team to make sure each dog receives individualized care, attention, and supervision. We are a family-friendly home, and our toddler absolutely loves dogs and will likely want to be your pup’s new best friend. That said, all interactions are closely and intentionally supervised. We are very mindful about safety and never leave children and dogs unattended together. Creating a calm, secure environment is always our priority. Living with a dachshund means we understand breed-specific needs — including proper handling, back safety, and reading dog body language. Whether your dog is playful and social or more reserved, we adjust to their personality and comfort level. Your pup will be treated like one of our own — safe, loved, and well cared for. Caring for dogs is part of our daily rhythm. We follow consistent feeding schedules, regular potty breaks, and a thoughtful balance of play, structure, and rest. Welcoming a pup into our home feels seamless because we approach care intentionally — with attention, supervision, and respect. Your dog won’t be an afterthought here; they’ll be cared for in a calm, structured environment. My husband works from home most of the time so your pet would rarely be left home without one of us. Our pets are family. They do whatever we are doing! Lots of love and attention are given, depending on your dogs needs we can take trips to the park or just a walk around the neighborhood. Our dog prefers a ride in the bottom of our child’s stroller. As you can see we do whatever makes your dog happy - so long as they are safe.

“My pups were very excited for their walks with Blanca; she kept me in the loop regarding their day and activities. It was a great first experience with this service”

“I was so grateful for Ao and Yun’s kind and thoughtful care of Harley while we were on vacation. Our family staying with her was unable to walk her so Ao and Yun were life savers for our energetic baby. They sent pictures and updates everyday they were there - thank you so much you two!”

About: I make sure to match with the dog’s energy, depending on whether they want a walk, play, or just a steady presence. I provide updates with photos and videos so that you can see how your baby is actually doing. I’ll make sure to keep their tails wagging while their favorite human is away (and hopefully become their second favorite)! There is always at least a person in the house to take care of the pets, with the exception of a few hours if we go out together on evenings or weekends. I am personally available almost all day everyday to keep your dogs comfortable. As my dog and cat’s favorite human, I always make sure they are doing well and dedicated daily play time to each of them individually. I have a fenced background so the dogs can play outside as long as they want to. If I go to your house, I will also play with them in addition to feeding, taking them to potty, etc. I treat my pets as my babies, and will make sure your babies are also taken care of when you are not around.

About: I provide high-quality, attentive care backed by a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, birds, and small animals. As a current owner of two dogs and a cat, I understand the importance of consistency, safety, and trust when caring for pets. I’ve supported friends, family, and clients with everything from daily walks and structured routines to caring for puppies and senior pets requiring extra attention. I am highly observant, dependable, and focused on creating a calm, safe, and enriching environment. Every pet in my care is treated with the same level of attention and respect I expect for my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I walk my own dogs every day, prepare their meals, and make sure they stay active, happy, and healthy, while also giving my cat plenty of attention, enrichment, and a calm, comfortable environment. Because I’m home, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and quiet time for pets of all types. Your pet will always receive steady, thoughtful care. I treat every pet like family, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment tailored to their needs. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with a calm indoor space that’s comfortable for both dogs and cats. I’m attentive to routines, behavior, and individual needs, whether that means playtime, a quiet environment, or following feeding and medication schedules closely. I provide consistent updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also a plant lover and happy to care for houseplants, keeping your home thriving while you’re away. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will be cared for with patience, consistency, and genuine love.

About: I treat your pets like my own family, blending 3+ years of Seattle pet-sitting experience with specialized care skills. Whether it’s administering medication, applying eye drops, or performing my signature ‘calming scalp massage’ to help with watery eye or anxiety, your pet’s health and comfort are my top priorities. From high-energy puppies to senior cats needing extra TLC, I provide a safe, loving, and professional environment. I live with my husband (profile pic 11) who often works from home and assists me with pet sitting, meaning your pet will benefit from the care and attention of two people. I have a highly flexible schedule. I am available throughout most of the week and during weekend afternoons and evenings. I can stick to your pet’s exact feeding or meds schedule and can tailor my visit length to your pet’s specific social needs, ensuring they never feel lonely while you’re away. Last-minute bookings are usually fine, just give me 24 hours’ notice if possible! I live right in front of a park, which is great because it’s quiet and my windows have the best 'Pet TV' to keep them entertained. In my home, it’s a calm, pet-proofed space with zero hazards. If I’m coming to yours, I’m super careful about checking window screens and locks. I never force cats to socialize. Plus, I’ll send you plenty of photos so you know they’re happy and getting their massages!

“My dog Freya is very particular about the humans she likes and she immediately took to Hunter. Hunter is super knowledgeable when it comes to animal behavior and she is amazing with Freya. Every time she sends a pic of their walks Freya is always smiling. We love Hunter and so happy to have found her 💜”

Please reach out! I usually am free monday,wendsday,friday,sunday and sometimes saturday.I can spend entire day pet sitting or walking when I am free!I would love to do that:) You can tell me your rules and I will follow them! I will take care of your pets by playing with them,feeding them and go on potty breaks/ walks as many time as its needed.

About: Hello there! I have been taking care of various kind of animals for years. I have been take care of my grandma’s dog since I was 14. Five years ago, My now boyfriend then stranger, found our first kitty, Momo, at his apartment hallway before thanksgiving. He rescued him, and was looking for a new home for Momo. I reached out to him for adopting Momo, and that’s how our love journey began… Now we have been together for five years with three adorable kitties. I stay home most of my time, so I have plenty time for taking care of your fur babies! With flexible schedule, feel free to reach out!! For Boarding: We’d love to take care of your cute kitties. We have a spare room for your cats, we will only accept one family at a time. They will be separated from our cats. At least two hours with them and play per today, clean litter box and feed based on your daily routine. Daily photos and videos to show your cat’s activity. Need to provide food(change food suddenly will upset their stomach). It will be awesome to bring their litter and litter box and what they sleep on, they will be more comfortable, and get familiar sooner! (Although this is not necessary) For Drop-ins: It’s always a good idea for the owner to have a security camera on during the visit, and I can also record my visit for you. For every visit, I will change the water and feed them, clean the food bowl and water bowl, clean the litter boxes, will take away the trash after visit. Will wear the shoe cover during visit. Playtime around 20mins. Please prepare the food, and litter.

“Nataliia was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Joey! She took great care of her and left us detailed messages. We will definitely use her again.”

“Laila gave my Sweet Ramona a wonderful walk, along with giving her her dinner. This was my first experience with Rover, and it was amazing. Laila took amazing pictures along the way, which are so fun to look at. And she provided a wonderful summary of the walk. She will no doubt be my go to for walks in future?.”

About: I grew up around dogs and have been pet-sitting regularly since I graduated college. I currently work at Mud Bay, the local pet store, and my knowledge and love for cats and dogs has increased exponentially. I’m patient, gentle, and get along with every dog I’ve ever met :) I work 25-30 hours a week, I have a car, and I’m willing to help care for your pets whenever you need! Because I work the closing shift, I’m most available in the mornings and afternoon. I’ll always have treats on me from my job! I helped my family train our two dogs, I’m used to watching over sick or elderly pets as well, and I’m great about sticking to a routine.
