Dog Walking Holly

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a pre-teen, but fell in love with animal care fully in my junior year of high school, after I began volunteering at the Everett Animal Shelter. Since then, I have changed positions and worked as a post-surgery volunteer with PAWS, transporting and handling anesthetized animals after they underwent surgeries. This summer I am also interning at PAWS again, this time as a Foster Care Intern, where I manage the entire foster care system behind the scenes. Additionally, I have worked with large animals such as horses while volunteering, managed and milked dairy cattle, and took care of pigs as my job on the side. I will continue to grow my portfolio, as I am a Pre-Vet Animal Science major at Washington State University with the goal of becoming a veterinarian one day. I am currently on summer break in my hometown (Everett) and have pretty open availability. I intern at paws from 8am-12pm on Sundays & Mondays, and 12-5pm on Thursdays, but other than that, I am free for walks, house sitting, or drop ins! Safety is extremely important during both house sitting & walks! For walks, I like to make sure dogs stay on the side of the sidewalk away from the road, as well as being properly harnessed and equipped with essential needs like poop bags and water incase of an emergency. I also keep a sharp eye out for other dogs to steer clear from unwanted interactions. Additionally, during house sitting, outside doors stay locked at all times, and your pet is watched 24/7. No escapes will happen on my watch! I am open to following any other rules, expectations or suggestions you have regarding your pet & house’s safety!

“Mishie has been absolutely amazing with Bella! She is always on time, communicates incredibly well, and keeps me updated after every visit. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. She pays close attention to Bella’s needs, even adjusting their routine when the weather is too hot to safely walk. Instead of just skipping the outing, she made sure Bella still had enrichment and attention. She has even incorporated some training into their time together, which I really appreciate, and surprised Bella with a few new toys out of her own kindness. Knowing Bella is with someone who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in her well-being gives me so much peace of mind. Mishie goes above and beyond, and I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family!”

“Joshua did awesome on walking our dogs. He was interactive with them from the start which they love the attention and he even said the magic words of don’t want to go for a walk. He was right on time with every walk, our dogs seemed to be happy and tired when they came back. We will for sure recommend and rebook with Joshua!”

“Meaghan did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and answered any questions I had. She was very prompt for the requested walk times and provided daily updates of their walks. I highly recommend her services for your pets and would book with her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I'm a cat parent of two lovely fur babies. I have 3+ years of experience with cats. Though I have more experience with cats, I'm excited to meet some dogs! Only doing walks for smaller dogs and drop-in service at the moment. Feel free to reach out. I will be pretty much available after 9 AM on weekdays and weekends. Currently focusing on the Lynnwood/Everett area, but willing to go a little more south if needed. Please share any specific instructions regarding your pet's food and feeding schedule. This includes dietary restrictions, portion sizes, and any special feeding techniques. I'd love to know if your fur babies have special needs.

“Janee is an amazing dog walker! Always reliable and great with my dog. My pup is always happy and tired after their walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have nearly a decade of pet care experience with all kinds of animals of all ages, sociability levels, and abilities. I can exercise pets however they prefer, administer medications, follow special feeding/diet instructions, bathe pets, and provide specialized care for senior or disabled pets. I have a part-time remote job with no set hours, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am happy to accommodate any schedule preferences or last minute changes. Because I live in an apartment, I can only provide pet-sitting service in clients’ homes at this time. I have cared for pets in several homes, and I highly prioritize trust and care of my clients’ homes. I am also more than happy to do light housekeeping tasks while caring for your pet to ensure you come back to a clean home, like vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, watering plants, etc.

“She’s been an amazing dog walker for us! My dog absolutely loves her—she’s incredibly friendly, patient, and gentle, which made a huge difference right away. In just a couple of days, he’s already grown to trust her, and there is improvement in his walks (calmer and more confident). Great communication and truly caring. Highly recommend!”

About: I've taken all kinds of dogs since I was 18. I love dogs more than cats. Love to walk with them, play, and board. I am very detail oriented. Know when dog wants to go mind there own business.. I am available all week except Sunday. I'll be happy to watch your dog. Or go for a walk with your family member! Play is another thing I don't mind doing it while boarding.. I have a big, fully fenced yard. I do have a dog of my own. He is 4, Belgian Shepherd. Very smart, calm, and happy dog. He gets along well. No kids. Smoke free home!

“Tony is great with our 2 dogs. We used her for our first puppy consistently for a couple of years and she helped with training. Tony also was a big help with our second puppy. She is super reliable and her report cards are always entertaining.”

“Penny is amazing with Dusty. We just moved to the area for work and my pup is experiencing difficulty with this change. After her one hour walk with Penny, I noticed Dusty returning to her normal self. I increased the walks to twice a week and thank Penny for helping me with this transition.”

About: I've been a dog handler for about eight years. I started at Meg's Dog House as my first job out of high school and learned everything I know about dogs in my 7 years working there. When Covid hit, Meg and her husband retired and I moved to Seattle where I have spent the last year working as a live in caregiver until recently moving into my own place. I just moved to Arizona after a decade of wanting to make the switch (grew up in Washington and hate the weather) and would love to pick up some side jobs here and there. While Rover cannot be my fulltime job due to the inconsistencies of bookings, I do maintain a main job but I do dedicate most my available free time to the dogs I'm watching when I am off work and schedules would be thoroughly discussed before booking. I have two dogs and two kittens, so I'm used to having animals and catering to them around my schedule. Currently I have open availability but this will change when I get a job so it just depends on my new hours but generally speaking I like a minimum of 3 walks daily, with at least one of them being to an area where they can safely run off leash or on a long line to stretch their legs. However the client prefers. I am adaptable and willing to learn. I have worked with special needs dogs, older dogs, and have a lot of experience with puppies. I am a novice trainer and groomer as well so my whole world is centered around animals!

“Knox loves Hallie! I was looking for a sitter and interviewing folks, but Knox was not having it or picking anybody until Hallie came along. He gets really excited when she pulls up and comes home a happy hound. She’s on time, responsive and even walked in the pouring rain for an hour without a coat. Will definitely keep Hallie around for walks, and can rest easy knowing he’ll be in good hands when I am on vacay. Thanks Hallie!”

“Jennifer is the best. She is very personable and professional. At our meet and greet our pup took to her right away. She answered all our questions, and wanted to know all she could about our dog. She now walks our dog several times a week and has just been wonderful. I highly recommend her.”
