Dog Walking Highland Park

“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!”

Jay & Jason S.

“Law was wonderful with my 2-year old shiba, Poppy! Poppy can be a bit of a stubborn gal when it comes to walks but Law was so wonderful and patient with her. We will absolutely become some of Law's regular clients.”

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!

“I would recommend Shelli to anyone! She is so easy to work with — incredibly responsive, polite, kind, and professional. We were super nervous about using Rover for the first time, but we could not have been luckier to find her. We absolutely plan to continue using her for as long as she wants to walk Aspen. I will recommend her to all of my friends and neighbors. If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your loved fur babies, Shelli is the perfect choice. She handled our lovely husky lady Aspen wonderfully, and if she can handle a husky, she can handle any dog! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Katherine was awesome to work with - great communication, our pup loved spending time with her, and she went the extra mile to dry him off on rainy days. Looking forward to working with her again soon! Highly recommended!”

Kristine K.

“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.”

Michael M.

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

Jeffrey H.

“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!”

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.

“Carrianne was amazing! Very accommodating to an address mix up which I greatly appreciated and overall I think Aspen enjoyed himself very much. He came back with most of his energy out and he was ready for bed. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

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.

About: Hello! I’m an outdoor educator and guide. While I don’t have any pets currently due to work constraints, have been dog sitting, boarding, and walking on my off-time for Wag!, friends and family for over 8 years now. I know the drill. From walks to play to medications, I can do it just tell me if your fur baby has any special likes/dislikes and what works best for them. I lost my cat to congestive heart failure this year 😭 so watching pets for others has been filling the holes in my heart. I’d be honored if I could watch your pets while you’re busy/gone. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me, I'm super friendly and love to spend time with all the fur babies, from walks or just playing around with all types of furry friends. Pet care fills in the gabs in my life. Since my cat passed away from congestive heart failure. Few months ago, pet care has been filling the holes in my heart from his passing. The fur babies need so much love, care and attention. I am really just here to give them love, care and play. Safety is a top priority! I ensure they always stay within the fenced areas, have on their collars, keep other dogs away if they are unfriendly, and ensure the lease is properly secured before opening the door.

About: Welcome to Bud’s house 🐾 This is not a “drop your dog and hope for the best” situation — this is a play, cuddle, and feel-at-home experience. I helped build a dog daycare here in Seattle, so I’ve spent years learning how dogs actually behave—who wants to play, who needs a break, and how to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. At home, we keep that same vibe—but way more personal. Our dog Bud (2 years old) is the host. He’s friendly, playful, and great with other dogs—basically the guy who makes sure everyone feels welcome. If your dog likes to play, they’ll have a blast. If they prefer to chill, we’ve got cozy spots for that too. My wife (originally from Colombia 🇨🇴) has been around dogs her whole life and brings a ton of warmth and attention to every pup that walks through the door. What your dog gets: 🐾 Supervised play (no chaos, just good energy) 🐾 A safe, calm environment 🐾 Plenty of attention, affection, and breaks when needed 🐾 A new best friend in Bud We keep things small, intentional, and stress-free—so your dog isn’t just “watched”… they’re part of the pack. Dogs basically run our schedule 😊 We walk Bud three times a day, and since we’re home most of the day, there’s always someone around for playtime, snuggles, or a quick potty break. Your dog just joins right in. In our home, dogs are part of the daily routine—not just “watched.” We provide structured care with three walks a day, supervised play, and plenty of downtime when needed. We do have a partially fenced yard, but we don’t rely on it—dogs are always supervised outside and primarily get their exercise through regular walks. Because of my daycare background, I pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they want to play, relax, or have their own space—and make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable.

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.

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.

About: I am a very engaged dog lover, growing up I have always been surrounded by dogs, they have helped me cope with anxiety and dogs are the most amazing gifts on the planet and I can't help but want to help people who need it. I am very attentive and willing to go the extra mile for you and your dog. I am really great at bonding with animals and understand what they need. I love going on jogs, walking, napping and long snuggles with dogs. I have enjoyed taking care of animals because they don't talk back, they listen to you, are great dance partners and make you happier than any human ever could, this is why you should let me take care of your dog.

“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).”
