Dog Walking In International District

About: I was brought up in a rural area, surrounded be many animals the entire time. I worked in an animal shelter for 2 years before I moved to Seattle. I've had dogs since I was born & a few cats - would have had more but 2 family members were allergic. Im very familiar of taking care of.dogs of all ages. Several of the babies I've had over the years lived to be well into their mid teens, so dealing with the blind, deaf, sickly & just old age in general, isn't an issue. Small/large, old/young, low/hight maintenance - im comfortable, exposed & familiar with it all. I work around 20-30 hours a week & live within a 10 minute walk to my job. Im generally a home body & will be particularly when sitting. I live near a large park & have a fenced dog run on my rooftop so can give immediate, short & extended care/walks - whatever is needed by them. It depends on what the animal wants & needs. My home will/can be an open space for them if thats what they want and plenty of room for them to find their comfortable spot. I have an AC & heater, so climate wont be an issue. When it comes to your home, mostly same thing applies - its all up to you & them. I will respect that its your/their space - not mine. During summers, if caring at your home, do prefer housing with AC because I am a bit sensitive towards heat but not enough to turn down a job (unless it gets 80°+ inside).

“Erin has been wonderful to work with! Great communication on scheduling and feedback about my dogs. They loved her instantly on our meet and greet! Thank you Erin for taking care of them!”

About: I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable cats, an adult cat I’ve had for two years and a playful kitten I adopted in January! I absolutely love them to death and treat them like family. From daily playtime and cuddles to keeping up with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and giving them lots of love and attention, I’ve learned how to care for cats at different stages. I’m very attentive, responsible, and patient with them. I would treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention I give my own! You can trust that they’ll be in safe, loving hands while you’re away :) I’m available Monday through Saturday starting at 10:00 AM. I have good flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening services (drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays). I’m usually not available on Sundays, but I’m happy to discuss special requests! I care for every pet with the same love and attention I give my own two cats! In your home, I follow your exact routines and instructions for feeding, medication, playtime, litter box care, and any special needs. I send daily photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. I’m very responsible with keys, locks, and your home!

“Laurie J is wonderful! She definitely has experience with reactive dogs and obedience training/corrections. She worked patiently with Walter to ensure they were both comfortable. I appreciate the extra care and consideration. Thank you for your time!”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

“Ludo, who I adopted two months ago, has been adjusting and having some accidents. Bruce has been so communicative and has cleaned up his accidents even though I absolutely do not expect him to and have not asked him to. I cannot express how grateful and relieved I am to have him coming to walk Ludo while I am working. I know my special needs dog, who has seizures, is in great hands!!!!”

About: I’ve cared for many different pets in the past and I absolutely adore them all. I’ve babysat many of my friends’ pets whilst they were away and have lived with dogs in the past. I’ve cared for dogs from all sizes with many needs. Recently, I was impacted by layoffs from my most recent 9-5 job so I’ve got lots of availability! I’ve been spending plenty of time going on walks around my neighbourhood and thought this could be an equally great opportunity to hop on Rover. Looking forward to hopefully meeting all of the sweet fur-babies! Recently got laid off, so I have lots of free time and I couldn’t imagine a better side hustle than hanging out with pets all day! I’ll be sure to pay extra attention to the instructions provided by the owners. Every dog is unique and has a different lifestyle of their own that they’re used to - just like us!

“Alijah is dependable, flexible and always gets the wiggles out of our energetic 8 mo old pup. He’s always so much more chill when we come home from a long day of work, when he gets a nice, long walk with Alijah. We appreciate her a lot!”

About: I have done some pet sitting over the years, but currently have my own long haired black domestic cat. I love my Benny boy so much that I know I will love to take care of your pets as well! I am currently free everyday, however I start a new job on June 2nd which after a couple of weeks I will set a new availability. In my client's home, I will respect the spaces only the dog is allowed. The way I care for my cat is I let him go out when he likes to (mostly when he's crying) and I love to go on walks with him.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk to burn off energy or your cat needs calm, attentive care while you’re away, I’m here to help! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments including senior pets and am able to administer most medication if needed. Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability throughout the week. I’m able to plan my work hours around scheduled walks and house sitting visits, ensuring your pets receive consistent, reliable care. For dog walking, I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks depending on your needs. For cat house sitting, my flexible schedule allows me to spend quality time in your home, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide attentive care rather than rushing in and out. Because I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept, I can give each pet the attention, punctuality, and reliability they deserve. I tailor my care depending on whether I’m providing dog walking or cat house sitting, but my priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. For dog walking, I make sure each walk matches your dog’s energy level and personality. I use secure leashing practices, avoid unsafe areas, and always monitor for signs of stress or overheating. I provide fresh water after walks, wipe paws if needed, and make sure your dog is settled comfortably before I leave. You’ll receive updates and photos so you know how the walk went. For cat house sitting, I focus on maintaining your cat’s normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection based on their comfort level. I also administer medications if needed and keep their environment clean and calm. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and can handle small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or on walks, I prioritize communication, consistency, and treating every animal as if they were my own.

“Our Scout looooooves Lynn so much than when she sees her walking up our front steps she lets out a happy squeal, and is always very fulfilled when she gets home from walks. Lynn is very responsive and communicative, and attentive to any notes or instructions we provide.”
