Dog Walking Highland Park

“Tim has been really great with my dogs. They get so excited to see him when he arrives. Its been a great help as I recover from an injury to know they are in good hands with their afternoon walk. He has also been very flexible with the schedule and adjusted a walk time as my schedule changed. My dogs are 90 and 70 lbs and he has had no issues with them.”

“Katherine is awesome!! My dog can be hesitant to leave with ANYONE, but Katherine manages to get him out the door. He always looks blissful in the pictures. Definitely his favorite walker!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, animals where a central part of my upbringing. Growing up around 2 passionate veterinarians gave me the opportunity to meet and care for a wide variety of furry personalities. While I don't have professional dog walking experience yet, I am extremely passionate about dogs and all that comes with them. I currently have a very flexible schedule, I'm available for walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise and care they deserve. I am fully committed to follow your instructions, provide all the check ins and pictures you may like, and to treat your pet and house with care and respect.

“Madison is fantastic! Chacha and Khai had a great walk and are now napping happily. She’s definitely one of our favorite sitters, and we’ll be booking her again soon!”

“My chocolate lab Zoey adores Carrianne and was always excited to see her. Carrianne communicates well, providing details of each walk and several pictures each day. She is prompt and texts if she is running early or late with ETA. Carrianne has a warm, bubbly, kind personality and demonstrated great handling and interaction skills with Zoey. I highly recommend Carrianne!”

About: I've spent all my life around dogs and learned from an early age the importance of boundaries – for humans and pets – and how to adjust my energy to best suit the dog I'm working with. Most dogs with behavioral struggles just need some structure, support, and patience, and I'm happy to provide all to your pets! I've lived with several breeds in the past (Papillon, Pomeranian mix, Labrador, Boston Terrier, and other mixed breeds), and have learned the grooming needs of their different coats, so I'm always willing to take on some brushing and paw trimming when needed! I've spent much of my teen years caring for senior and disabled dogs, including partial blindness and deafness, administering medication (pills and eye drops), mobility restrictions, and anxiety. If you have a smart dog who likes to get up to some trouble, trust that I know just what you're going through! I'm prepared to work with dogs who need some extra mental stimulation. As a former Papillon owner, I know small dogs tend to pack a big personality, but I'm up for the challenge! I work for college art departments and some art studios around Seattle about 2-5 times a month, but I'm otherwise free during weekdays and weekends! I take public transit, so any transportation by me would be by walking or bus/lightrail, and I will always let you know in advance if I plan to take public transit. I am disabled and use a cane or hip brace to assist in long walks or uneven terrain. I am perfectly comfortable with walking dogs around the neighborhood or to dog parks, but I am not able to run with them. I always try my best to respect the habits and preferences of the family while in their home, as consistency and respect is key to building a healthy relationship with animals. Some additional information that I always find helpful is what commands the dog knows, any medical issues to look out for, behaviors that you want to be reinforced or discouraged, preferred methods of rewarding behavior, and what their personal routines are (evening naps in certain places, preferences for sleep and dinner time, etc.). When it comes to puppies, it's very important they continue to have the same expectations and boundaries as they have with their owners, so I will do my best to continue with their usual routines while you are away. When it comes to senior dogs, they often rely heavily on routine and consistency for navigation and comfort due to hearing and eyesight issues, and I always want to do my best to make sure they are as comfortable as possible!

About: I’ve been a mom to small dogs most my adult life. I currently have a chill 7 lb shih tzu mix that would love company on our two daily walks. I work part-time and am never away for more than 4 hours. (Often my college age son is home when I’m out) I’ve taken care of very young pups as well as older dogs requiring medications and special diets. I’m responsible and loving, doing my best to keep pups content while their people are away. I’m communicative and responsive and provide daily pupdates. I work two to three days a week for no more than 4 hours, so I’m home a lot. I have a 6 year-old shih tzu mix that I walk twice a day so I have a good routine established. My college age son lives with me and is super helpful and responsible. Generally if I’m out, he’s home to give extra potty breaks and belly rubs. My back yard is quite big and securely fenced-lots of room for sniffing! My house is cozy and comfortable-I’m happy to have pups on my lap on the couch and in my bed for the night.

“Law took great care of Nacho on his walk. Sending photos throughout and was extremely communicative. Would definitely feel confident to have Law take Nacho on walks again :)”

“Chris has been incredible with our dog! He’s always super communicative and very punctual!”

“My pups had a better time with Karen than they do with our family, for SURE! She is great and communicating, letting us know what the walk was like, sending pictures. 100% would book again, and highly HIGHLY recommend. Also, very covid aware and safe!”

Robin T.

“Andre has shown he is reliable when it comes down to taking care of my pup. He shows up on time, sends me a lot of photos and keeps me updated. I always feel comfortable when my puppy is in Andre’s care!”

Tifanny B.

“Jennifer was awesome with my little guy! Super friendly and communicative, and also took great pictures as a bonus. I would rebook Jennifer in a heart beat!”

About: I've been sporadically dog sitting for a couple years. I grew up with my family doing a lot of foster care for dogs so I ended up meeting a lot of different personalities. My parents are on their third rescue dog from a shelter. I live near a couple parks and a dog park. My neighborhood is a residential area so it's pretty quiet both during the day and night. I currently work from home, so no dogs will be left unattended. The yard is fenced in the front and back. I live with my male partner with no children. Let me know if your dog's temperament with other dogs and people. I look forward to meeting your dog! I work remotely full-time. I can provide breaks through out the day and don't have to do a lot of meetings or calls. I will usually try to do two longer walks, a midday and evening walk. I have a fenced yard, if the weather allows it I like to do fetch in the yard. The living room is the main room for lounging and hanging out together.

“Great communication and my pups enjoyed it! Will definitely use again. Thank you so much!”

“Amy was so accommodating about not having updated my address and being so flexible about going to the correct one same day notice! It’s also tricky to get into my building but she was able to do so flawlessly! Thank you Amy!”

About: I’m a patient, caring, and punctual pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I don’t discriminate towards any size baby (dog) or type of breed! I understand that every dog is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own right now, I grew up with large dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for them. One of my dogs was a Black Lab mix who lived to be 19 years old, and I cared for her all the way through her senior years. I also grew up with a 145-pound Rottie, so I’m very comfortable handling large, strong breeds as well as smaller dogs. During our meet and greet, I’ll ask about your dog’s daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications (if any), and anything else that helps me provide the best possible care for your fur baby ♥️ I am a barista that works part-time hours so my shifts are usually in the mornings sometimes continue through the afternoon. I can do a lot of evening time walks (3-11pm roughly) just depends on the day! I can accommodate last minute bookings depending on my availability. Unfortunately I cannot be offering overnight stays at my house because I have roommates that have dogs and my backyard is very small. But I’m happy to provide house sitting services in your own place, which I feel will be best safety and comfortability, for your fur babies. My goal is to keep their routine as normal(how you show me it) so they are comfortable and feel safe while the parents are out of town.

About: I grew up with animals and frequently find myself pet sitting for friends and family because of my wonderful yard and peaceful environment. I can manage dogs with a variety of energy levels effectively and am always seeking to build good habits for your dog. I believe my lifeguard and swim instructor experience gave me the expertise to care and train your furry friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things I would like to know about your pet: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * Any medications (especially for anxiety) * If they sleep through the night * Any allergies or dietary restrictions * Whether they like to chew shoes or other things * If they tend to escape or try to run out doors/gates I work from home full time and have availability for daytime walks and tending to your pets needs. My schedule allows for frequent walks and playing with your furry friend throughout the day. I have a fully enclosed yard, enjoy walking on a daily basis and live in a safe, quiet and calm setting. I typically watch one dog at a time but can handle up to three if the dogs are familiar with each other.

“We highly recommend Lexy. She is reliable, conscientious, and excellent at communication. She took the time to let our nervous dog become familiar with her. On the days he was too uptight to walk well, she read his cues and gave him other outlets for his energy like training sessions and playtime in our yard (we really appreciate this tailored care).”

About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.
