Dog Walking Highlands

“There is no better dog sitter on the planet! This is the second time we asked Mike to take care of our Hero for 10 days and he has been super diligent, responsive, and very generous. We are really grateful!”

About: With a 14-year background in professional hospitality and the culinary arts, I bring a level of structure, care, and attention to detail that goes far beyond the average pet sitter. In high-pressure environments, I learned the importance of strict schedules, absolute reliability, and accommodating specific needs—skills that translate perfectly into caring for your four-legged family members. As someone who loves the outdoors and regularly goes camping with my own dog, Maple Bar, I am more than happy to give high-energy dogs the exercise and mental stimulation they crave. Whether it's managing the high-energy, frequent potty breaks of a young puppy or providing the gentle, patient pacing required for a sweet senior dog, I adapt my energy to match exactly what your pet needs to feel safe and happy. When your pup is with me, they aren’t just being watched—they are being hosted. You can count on clear, consistent communication, plenty of photo updates, and a safe, structured environment where your pet's routine is respected down to the minute. If you are needing a house sitter for your pets my 4 year old daughter will have to stay at the home with me and we will have to leave the home to go walk our dog 2-3 times a day. Thank you for understanding and helping a mom out! Cheers! During the Summer I try to stay busy but during the School Year I am a stay at home mom. I am available most weekends and weekdays 1230-2PM and 530PM-8PM. I cannot house pets in my home, but I am happy to walk them around a nice trail, throw the ball at the dog park, or if they may need medication. When your pup is with me, they aren’t just being watched—they are being hosted. You can count on clear, consistent communication, plenty of photo updates, and a safe, structured environment where your pet's routine is respected down to the minute.

“Shana has been walking my dog weekly for the past 6 months and I can genuinely say she’s everything you would want in a dog walker/sitter. Shana always gives a complete review with pictures where I can tell she really cares about the health and safety of my dog. It makes my day when I receive an update from their walks. She’s very responsive and flexible and stays on top of keeping my dogs walks scheduled. I feel my fur baby is in the best hands with her. I couldn’t recommend Shana more.”

“Logan was awesome! She walked and fed our dogs (and a couple other animals) while we were away for a few days. She was very communicative, reliable thoughtful and trustworthy with our home and pets, with instructions, locking up, etc. We have two dogs that pull a lot when walking so not a job for just anyone. Our dogs were well taken care of while we were away and well adjusted to all back to normal when we came back. I would recommend and use again.”

“Very professional and we’re able to handle my German shepherd easily. Great communication as well, I would highly recommend for walking your dogs”

“Shawn was excellent and very attentive to Louie's needs. She took extra care and time to ensure he was comfortable and having fun. She was also very communicative, so we were always at ease since we were never left guessing about any details.”

About: I've had pets as long as I can remember. I have a love for animals and love taking care of them. I have experience with many different kinds of dogs and cats and have no issues in being able to catr if either or both. I've had experience with diabetic cats and older pets too. I'm currently in college so I can be busy during the weekday mornings but other then that I take care of my 2 cats at home every day, and have plenty of time to assist with others pets. I only have a cat at home who doesn't go outside, but I have dealt with large dogs on walks and am a fairly strong man, so I'll have no issues handling a couple medium sized dogs either. I'm no stranger to rough play but also love a warm gentle cuddle while reading a book or scrolling. (I may request access to your wifi so I can do homework while staying with your pets, it is not necessary to give me access if you do not feel comfortable with it, I will not take offense to you saying no, and will not treat you or your pets differently based on your answer. I swear to always give the utmost of my care and love to your pets, and treat them as if they were my own.)

“Cory was a pleasure to work with and had a great attitude about handling our high energy dog. Real nice guy with plenty of experience with dogs.”

About: I’ve owned three dogs across nearly 10 years, including a Border Collie and a Poodle staying in China now. I have over five dog walking experiences back in China, sincerely love all pups and provide regular potty breaks plus daily photo updates for every boarding dog. I stay home most days in Kirkland with flexible free time. I’m fully available all weekends for boarding, and free most weekday afternoons, able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours regularly. I own a secure fenced backyard for dogs’ outdoor play. My two gentle spayed female dogs are staying in China now, I keep home pet-safe and send daily photo updates to owners for every boarding pup.

“My dog loved her and we will definitely use Grace again.”

“Last week was the first time I used Edie for my new puppy Chester. He is quite the handful and she has done wonders with him. She’s been very flexible and genuinely enjoy to work with. Hopefully Chester will get used to her as I will be using her weekly for his walks.”

“Laura walked our 1 yo golden retriever Cheddar while we were out of town and she was staying with a family member who wasn’t able to watch her. Everything went very smoothly and Cheddar seemed very happy with her!”

About: Hello there! My name is Nicole, and like many of you, I LOVE animals. Currently I live in downtown Kirkland and am open to new fluffy (or scaley) friends. I have watched pets inside my own and done visits. I am only open to boarding smaller, cat friendly dogs. :) I promise you that I will love and treat your pet with kindness and love. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your furry friends, and will send many photos and updates while you are away. I am currently looking to fill my free time with taking care of furry little friends. I live in Kirkland and do daily walks, and if your dog wants to come along, they are more than welcome! I live in a Condo in Kirkland, WA. I am happy to take dogs to dog parks (with permission) or to just a stroll around the neighborhood. I will send updates and photos whenever I see your pet!

“I’m so grateful for Colin! I needed a last-minute walker after coming down with a stomach bug, and he was an absolute lifesaver. He was flexible, responsive, and super friendly, keeping me updated throughout the walk. This was my first time using Rover, and Colin even helped walk me through the final steps of setting up my account—so kind and patient! Highly recommend him.”

“Leelay is great. She was kind, genuinely cared for our dog. She was great at paying attention to details. She was also committed and responsible, even during the days with the harsh snow and freezing rain.”

About: I have years of experience caring for small dogs of all ages, from active puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra care for older dogs with special needs. My friendly, neutered poodle mix loves having canine companions and gets along well with other small dogs. We enjoy daily walks, playtime, and trips to local parks. I provide a safe, loving, and active environment for weekend stays and short visits. Your pup will be treated like family! 🐕💕 I work in the office 4 days per week. Dogs receive two daily walks, along with potty breaks approximately every 4 hours. My home is a dog-friendly apartment community with many resident dogs, so guests should be comfortable riding an elevator and being around other dogs in shared spaces. My friendly poodle mix enjoys companionship, and we make sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and a comfortable place to relax. We are best suited for social, adaptable small dogs who enjoy being around people and other pups.

“I could not say enough wonderful things about Maren. From the first meet and greet to her last walk with Kathleen she has gone above and beyond. Wonderful communication, observant of any new concerns with Kathleen’s health, and very careful about her dog reactivity. Thank you so so much Maren. <3”

“Gaby was fantastic! Really loved our dogs, she’s a natural. We’ll be using her again.”

“Mia is amazing! Our pup Rowan loves every minute with her. Thank you so much!”

“Madison has been really super! She always arrives on time, communicates proactively, and is extremely gentle and kind to my little Boston Terrier when taking her for midday walks over the last few weeks when I needed a bit of extra assistance. Thank you Madison!”
