Dog Walking Kangley

About: I come from a professional dog training background, and I bring that to every visit. Much of my work has been with dogs who require more understanding than the average person has: reactive dogs, anxious dogs, dogs who are typically hard to find care for. Whether you've been turned down before or just want the best care for your pack, please reach out. Helping dogs is genuinely how I enjoy spending my days the most. On a normal drop-in or walk I: * Add mental stimulation through short training sessions and games * Reinforce appropriate boundaries so good behavior holds while you're gone * Build focus and confidence with nosework and scent games * Continue any training you're already working on, using your cues and your approach Just as important, I treat my visits like the job they are: * I show up on time, every time. * I follow instructions exactly as written. Your routine stays your routine. * I ask the questions that prevent problems later: gate and door latches, leash triggers, medication timing, what you want me to do if anything were to go wrong. * You'll get a clear update with pictures from every visit, so you know exactly how it went. I'm comfortable with medical needs and special feeding requirements. I have a lot of experience with Huskies, German Shepherds, Malamutes, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and Labs; I'm happy to help with any breed or mix. If your situation doesn't fit the usual mold, get in touch. I'm flexible, solution oriented and usually reply within minutes. Drop-in visits, dog walks, and hikes. Available full time, including same-day and last-minute bookings when my calendar allows. Always on time, follow instructions precisely, and treat your pets like my own. Message me with any ask, my response time is usually just a few minutes. I'm well versed in meeting new dogs of all backgrounds and have quite a bit of experience working with animals where there is little room for error. Rest assured that I'm 100% committed to your pets. Canine First Aid & CPR Certified!

“So great meeting Sydney. Extremely friendly and easy going. Ladybug fell in love with her right away. Look forward to working with her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Kristine! I've cared for my dog Dash for over a year, loving him like one of my kids, and I've looked after friends' pets for 10 years. We live in Maple Valley with a fully fenced yard, and there's a beautiful nature trail right in our neighborhood — I take the dogs on daily trail walks through the woods, so your pup gets fresh air, exercise, and plenty of sniffing time. I follow your feeding and house rules, and I send photo updates all day so you always know how they're doing! I’m flexible in schedule and can work on same day sitting. I walk dogs at least twice a day, to the natural trails and in the community. Welcome to inquire about the schedule. We live in a house with fully fenced backyard, and we have a walking trail right next to the community, we walk our dog in the trail daily and take great care of them.

“Courtney was great! She helped me for a week by walking my dog while I was in town for work. She was right on time and gave me great pics of my dog. She also handled a behavior issue he has very well.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all types of dogs for over 10 years. I have a very friendly German Shorthair Pointer who loves to play! I’ve trained many puppies who have all grown up to be well-balanced dogs. The last 8 years I have worked as a special education teacher and recently took a role at an outdoor school working part time. This change has freed up my afternoons and I would love to fill that time helping families take care of their animals! My husband works from home and I work part-time as a preschool teacher with plenty of time to play/walk/watch your dogs! We are free on the weekends, too. We love dogs of all ages and sizes. We already take care of our very friendly 4 year old dog so adding more dogs to the schedule is no problem! Ozzy is high energy but the friendliest dog! He loves all dogs, cats, and kids. He is happy to play and run but is also happy to leave other dogs alone if they don’t want to play with him. He is not pushy or aggressive at all. No resource guarding troubles or problems sharing toys or water bowls. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run and play outside. A very friendly GSP to help socialize or burn energy. I am comfortable crating your dog if that’s part of their routine and comfortable feeding and administering medicine as well. Our day is structured to not only meet Ozzy’s (GSP) needs but maintain behavioral expectations as well. To ensure safety, when other dogs visit, I constantly watch their interactions to ensure good behavior/social skills and will intervene to administer breaks or corrections when necessary. The house has ample room to separate dogs if needed.

“Lily was fantastic with our two pups! She was on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable! She was able to help us out last minute in a time we really needed it. We will continue to use her in the future!”

“Lolita took great care walking my two pups! I’m always a little nervous at first to find a new walker — but I felt so comfortable and at ease with Lolita. Will be booking again! :)”

About: 2 Story Home, fully fenced & very safe back yard. I am married with a dog (Lab) of my own. I take pride in our home and would do the same with yours, I don't mind helping with chores if needed as well. Dogs are family to us; we wouldn't want it any other way. Your dog would be treated as one of our own. You can rest easy knowing your dog or cat is being very well taken care of. I am responsible, reliable and honest. I do not do Rover pet sitting for the money, I do it to help others and because I absolute love all animals and truly enjoy being around them and caring for them, all ages and breeds! I started Rover after we took a vacation and found out firsthand how hard it is to find truly reliable people to pet sit. It was an awful experience and I wanted to change that for others. We need more passionate & responsible people offering pet sitting and I figured I would be part of that change. I want to contribute to our community and also reduce the number of animals which end up in rescues or shelters. Sometimes this happens due to lack of available care. We have a fully fenced yard (actually double fenced), your dog can go out or come in as needed. If you prefer to have your dog crated, just let me know your preference and adjustments can be made. Whatever makes your baby feel at home.

“Juan came by to take care of our kitties and it was perfect. He was communicative, respectful of our house, and did everything exactly as we wanted. Definitely rebooking with him again for Kitty care.”

“Raeven is clearly gifted! She is one of the good ones. She is truly a dog whisperer. My dog, Gabby, absolutely loves her like I have never seen her behave with another person save for me and my husband. It makes my heart smile. I know she is being well taken care of and super happy. Raeven is communicative, sends pics, and clearly cares about each animal like they belong to her personally.”

About: I’ve taken care of big and small dogs all throughout my life! I enjoy being around animals and giving them the right care they deserve. I have much free time and am looking to care for animals who need someone around! My schedule is flexible for those who may need unique hours for their pets. I have a small dog who is trained to stay within the yard and two indoor cats. Have always kept the cats inside and get along well with my dog.

About: I'm a huge dog lover who has experience caring for old dogs as well as those youngsters! I believe the importance of getting your dogs outside is crucial for their health, happiness and longevity! I am available pretty much all day with some exceptions here and there. I work part-time evenings where my hours vary a bit, but only gone for 5 hour windows in the evenings. I have a good sized yard that’s fully fenced, so your dog can enjoy the fresh air, roll around in grass and relax on the deck.

About: I have always grown up with animals from having 3 bunnies to having 3 dogs🐾. I have always loved animals and have a passion for taking care or them! I have been taken care and walking family and friends dogs for years from taking care of neighbors cats many times to walking dogs 5 times a week. I make sure that your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved😊. I’m currently a full time college student looking for a job. I have been walking a Shiba Inu 5 days a week from Saturday-Wednesday for around 2 years already, but I am available to walk dogs and pet sit Monday through Saturday. I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for in their environment. I also make sure they are comfortable and relaxed and have a great time! I make sure to give them lots of love and make special memories for them!😊

“She is great and goes out of her way to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy, she was really good about sending me pictures of my dog. I was really happy to find him in good health.”

About: I've had two dogs of my own for the past 14+ years and two cats for the past 4 years. I also helped foster and train several puppies as well as take care of older dogs and administer meds. I have a husky so I am familiar with high-energy dogs. I'm currently not working at the moment so I will be home full time with your pets. They will receive full attention, love and care. We have a fenced yard as well as a greenbelt in our neighborhood with a walking trail so your dogs will get exposed to many different areas and will love the walks. There's also a dog park nearby if that is something your dog prefers.

“We really appreciate Jennifer’s flexibility and ability to meet the dogs one day and come and walk them the next. Sounds like it all went fine. We will definitely want to use Jennifer again!”

About: Hi! I joined a local organization called Purrfect Pals at 16 years old. It was a place dedicated to giving our feline friends a chance for or they provided a happy life for our feline friends where they could live out the rest of their days in peace. Old or young, healthy or sick, grumpy or happy. They all had a home at perfect pals! I strive to follow the same ideals and treat all furry friends as my own family. I grew up with dogs and cats and have spent my entire life around them. Often being called a Dog or Cat whisper (Though i always deny it!) I know how difficult it is to trust your baby with a stranger, I promise to treat your baby as mine. As I would wish no less for my Loki. Hi, Honestly it’s only three days out of the week that I need to limit the exact times that i can provide potty breaks. I work three 9s and two 6.5s, while having Thursday and Fridays off work. I often start early in the morning and am off work by early to mid afternoon, which provides plenty of time for our furry friends even on days I do work my other job! As long as i’m aware of the time frame I can be pretty dang flexible! Base Expectations for Cat Care: Food! water refresh, litter box cleaning, brushing (if cat likes) and play time (this length and type depending on cat (please tell me all about your kitty!)), Base Expectations for Dog Care: Feeding, water refill, potty break! play time! please tell me what your dog likes! I prefer to meet the dog where they are :) *I’ll follow all feeding schedules as best I can!

About: I had a dog for my whole life, and cared for him from puppy to senior, so I know how to care for a dog at any stage of its wonderful life! I have also watched dogs of all sizes, from a chihuahua to a weimaraner! I am very active and would love to walk and play with your furry friend! I am VERY available this summer, and would love to care for your pet! I have a big car love to be outside and active! I am very clean and organized, trustworthy, and reliable. I am devoted to creating a safe environment for your pet! I make sure to clean up all areas and make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and comfortable!

About: I’ve been a vet assistant for 3 years with a medical clerk license. Have experience with vaccines, medications, medical terminology, anatomy and equipment such as x-rays, ultrasounds. Worked in a small practice under an amazing veterinarian and eventually moved forward with her to now, currently working at our local humane society. I have been apart of galas raising money for our fur babies to pop up vaccines clinics in the low income communities. I’m currently looking to step away from full-time work at where I’m currently working to go back to school to become an esthetician. Looking for more part-time work to be able to focus on my studies while providing for myself. Like humans, no 1 persons needs are the same. Some require just a daily dose of cuddles while others seek after care from surgeries. At the end of the day animals deserve the same respect and care regardless of what their journey looks like. I love taking dogs on walks to enjoy the fresh air as well as simple grooming needs, to enjoying some downtime while we watch a movie together.

About: [Preferred name: Keith , He/They] I’ve helped take care of my family dogs since age 10, most being larger dog breeds (german shepherd, huskies, pitbull).

Best Contact Hours: 8am to 8pm (PT) I remain available for contact through message or call consistently! If desired updates during care may be sent, whether requested beforehand or spontaneously. [including pictures & videos of course!!] I have reliable transportation and am also willing to allow pets in my vehicle.
