Dog Walkers in La Center, WA

About: I am the dog mom of one amazing Boxer boy named Severus. He is my fourth boxer (seventh in the family) and he loves walks and snuggles. So I am pretty good at both. Some fast facts about me: - Worked in dog rescue for ten years - Dog CPR and First Aid - I have owned/lived with Boxers, Staffies, Mastiffs, English Bulldogs, Frenchies, and German Shepherds. - I have had four dogs with seizures/epilepsy - I am a whizz at getting them to take their meds I work mostly remotely, only have to be in the office a few hours a week. Which makes my own dog very happy and my schedule very flexible. If you are looking for a long term walker/sitter I would coordinate with you and make sure our schedules align. If you are looking for a single walk here or there, I will work into my schedule! I will make sure your pet is always correctly collared or harnessed when we go for a walk. If we are doing a playdate, I check to make sure that the dog is safe and hasn't gotten into anything. I observe the environment both indoors and outdoors for any safety for your pet.

“Wonderful!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who understands that every dog has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I take that seriously. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs since my teens, with experience across small and large breeds, senior dogs, and pets who require medication. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with more complex needs, including epilepsy, and I prioritize calm, attentive handling to keep them safe and supported. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs, I focus on structured, engaging care that helps them feel balanced and happy while you’re away, whether its walks tailored to their energy level, mental enrichment and engagement during visits, consistent routines to support behavior, or lots of affection and attention. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to include longer walks, hikes, or more engaging outings if that’s something your dog enjoys. I can also do dog park visits if requested. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I can also send regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel completely at ease. I treat every pet like my own (I have 3!), with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’d love to connect and see if I'd be a good fit for you and your pet! I work from home, so I am willing and able to give your pet the attention it needs. I am used to taking care of pets so the routine comes easy for me. My work schedule is fairly flexible as well, making it easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule you may need for your pet. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every pet. In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, so your pet stays comfortable and on their normal schedule. I stay aware on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust care based on your dog’s energy level, temperament, and any medical needs. I also keep your home clean and secure so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“I cannot recommend Tanaisa enough. She takes such great care of our labradoodle. He is high energy and loves lots of attention. She gives him exactly what he wants! Lots of exercise, treats, and love. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for animals. We are so impressed and happy with the care she provides for our boy! She goes above and beyond and we’re so grateful to her!”

Sydney R.

“Hiring Krystal has been the best money I have ever spent. Gracie is happier, calmer, and more settled at the end of each week, and the difference in her overall quality of life is undeniable. Krystal is reliable, thoughtful, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

Krista B.

“Kelsey is a gem! We were very hesitant to go through Rover and choose a complete stranger, but our experience with Rover and Kelsey couldn't have been any better. Kelsey is extremely reliable, my pups love her, and she is prompt in responding to questions, requests, and messages. She does walks for our pups on a weekly basis and has also done an overnight for us. She is our go-to gal. We would be lost without her help! Thanks for your continued help Kelsey!!!”

Jessica M.

“Julia was great! She was able to take my boy on a 30 minute walk with only a few hours notice. She was comfortable using a prong collar and continued his training with it. I am super thankful and will be using her more in the future!”

About: I've loved all sorts of animals since I can remember. I was the girl who brought stray dogs and cats home to be loved and cared for. I currently have a senior chihuahua and a orange cat called Keiko. I've always had dogs and cats while raising my kids, big and small. At this time, I am not working outside of the home. I would like to make petsitting, dog walking, animal care, my fulltime job. I volunteer once a week for two hours for furry friends. I also dog walk for one senior who has two dachschunds. I have a fenced yard. I make sure they always have water and excercise. I try to be as attentive to their needs as possible.

About: I am 25 years old, pretty active. Dogs around me usually get what they want. I spoil them more than i spoil myself. They are family so I will treat them like family. I am a stay at home mom & I lam easy to get a hold of. If you want pictures everyday, i will provide you pictures everyday. I love hikes and going for walks. Let me know your needs and I will follow your rules. All I ask is that I meet you & your dog beforehand so we can make sure that your dog is okay with me & won’t think I’m a stranger just walking in the house. I am a huge animal lover! Can’t wait to meet you and the pup/pups!

About: I have 4 dogs of my own and worked at a vet clinic for several years~ I can administer medications & perform CPR, which I recently renewed my certification in. Senior animals hold a particulary soft spot in my heart, and I'm always delighted to help out creatures with special needs (young or old). As a former professional housecleaner, I also have experience going into clients' homes and understand how to utilize your space to do my job, while also respecting your privacy & home. If pet care can be considered a hobby, it's definitely mine, which may explain why I have 4 dogs.. I ensure they live carefree, tail-wagging lives and I would love to spoil your pet(s) too! My schedule tends to be full, but manageable, as I try to help as many people in the community as one person can; often, I can spin a little bit of magic to make a request work. I firmly believe in flexibility for others as I appreciate it in return and this helps to keep my schedule accommodating. I believe dogs deserve the absolute best in life and as such, mine live a life of luxury with high quality meals, lots of playtime, and minimal rules. That being said, I respect that not everyone has the same rules and allowances for their pets~ regardless of mine, I promise to put yours first when caring for your creatures.

“Madison is great! She’s been walking Cupcake for the last few weeks and it’s a great help. My pup looks forward to it and waits for her by the door.”

“We have been rebooking dog walks with Zoie for the past month because our pup loves her! I really appreciate how Zoie is flexible and available even when I schedule last minute. Zoie sends photos of our pup and lets me know when she’s with her. We will continue to depend on Zoie for dog walks!”

About: I bring a personalized touch to every dog-sitting gig! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies needing training to senior dogs requiring extra care and patience. I also have experience working with reactive or anxious dogs and understand that their behavior stems from fear or insecurity. My focus is on creating a safe and calm environment where the dog feels secure. I use positive reinforcement methods, like treats and praise, to build trust and help them feel more comfortable. I'm skilled in positive reinforcement techniques, so I can help with basic obedience. Plus, I'm super attentive to the unique needs of older dogs, managing medications, and ensuring their comfort. Most importantly, I focus on building a strong bond with each dog, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I'm all about creating a positive, enriching experience for every pet. I took a gap year after I graduated to save money for a higher education. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize consistency and reliability. I make sure to set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, play, and any special care like medication or cleaning. On a weekly basis, I also schedule deeper cleaning tasks, like thorough litter box maintenance or extra play sessions, to keep pets happy and healthy. This routine helps me stay organized and ensures that every pet gets the attention and care they need without any stress or rush. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment.I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, especially regarding feeding, medications, and any special needs. Building trust is key, so I approach pets gently and patiently, allowing them to feel secure and relaxed. I also maintain cleanliness and monitor their behavior closely to quickly address any signs of stress or health issues. This way, pets feel cared for and protected, while they’re in their familiar surroundings.

About: I am a Vet Tech of multiple years now recently working from home!! I have lots of flexibility and last min accommodations. I love all animals with a passion. I can care for just about any animal in any health. I will treat your animals as if they are my own, give them each special love and attention. I can medicate if prescribed, can do any activity level with them. You name what your pet needs and I can do it! I’m happy to keep you connected to your pet while you’re away and give frequent updates if desired. I have worked with nearly all breeds, temperaments, anxieties, illnesses, ages, medical conditions under current veterinary care, personalities, quarks, and behaviors. You and your pets trust is my number one objective, love and play is second! I will take care of any needed plants/garbage/recycling while you’re away, as needed. I have an old boy black lab. He is extremely calm and reserved. He’s friendly with other animals and just walks away if he is annoyed. I also have an adopted a German Shorthair Pointer, 3 years old. He is a ball of fun and has a personality out of this world. He has brought a lot of joy into our home. Your pets well-being is as important as my own pets. I strive to stick to routines and schedules to make your pet as comfortable as possible. I love to snuggle and they’re always welcome in the bed or on the couch. That is if you allow! I also respect crate training and can stick to strict schedules if needed (Note: Rover has me add my personal animals to my profile. This does not mean that they would ever come with me to a stay or drop-in visit/walk. It’s is just for you to get to know me more) Cancellations happen, if you let me know within reason I am happy to work with you. Though, I do present with a cancellation fee due to being burned in the past with long term reservations cancelled within 24 hours. I am happy to work with you if you communicate. I recently started working from home (11/2024). I am very flexible with all sorts of availability now. Not many restrictions. I live in the heart of Ridgefield. I am able to travel as far as La Center, Salmon Creek or Vancouver. Woodland inquiries are encouraged, although depending on distance, I may not service your address. (Please don’t hesitate to ask questions) I find that your pets are more comfortable at your home but am willing to bring them to mine. Drop in visits seem to be the most comfortable as it can even be strange for them having someone new stay in their home

About: Hi all, it's Kate here! Life long animal lover. I've lived with dogs both big and small since I was born. I am a dog owner of 10 years, well versed with training puppies and caring for seniors. I have a ton of availability this summer as I just finished up my job teaching art to children. Over the last two years I've had extensive experience doing private child/animal care for both cats and dogs. Id like to take care of your pets ❤️ I've taken care of, lived with, and rescued turtles, rodents, fish, cats, dogs, etc! I'm in my mid twenties and very soft spoken and gentle. I currently live in Ridgefield. I love all animals, and would love to care for yours! I would care for them as if they were my own! My schedule is super flexible and open this summer, other than making art your pet will have my full love and attention! I can always make the time for you and your pet just let me know what you need. 💖 In my home I have a high need toy-sized Australian shepherd that is friendly with other animals, well loved and cared for. I live in a small gated community directly across from our fenced-in private dog park, so I can assure you that your pets will be safe in my care. I am capable of following any instructions given for care in your own home such as walking, feeding, playing, administering medicine, you name it! I have a pet hammock installed in the back seat of my car that I can buckle your pets harness into for safe transport as well :+) My policy is to always keep dogs leashed when not in a secure, fenced environment. I simply don't trust a dog's recall unless they are my own and I've personally trained them. If I observe anything concerning with a pet, I'll reach out to the owner right away to ensure it's not a serious issue. I know how important it is to be fully informed about my own pets, so I can provide immediate instructions and avoid unpleasant surprises later on

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, my senior girl I’ve had since then is 18 yrs old and still going strong! I have two big Great Pyrenees/ Saint Bernard mixes and we take them on walks regularly. I work a nine to five and am free on weekends, so I hang out and take care of my pets in the evenings when I get off work. I don’t currently live at home with my pets so I don’t get to see them as often as I would like because I’m in school. My dogs live with my parents and we have a fenced in yard and a space in our house just for the dogs. I live by myself though if your dog isn’t comfortable around other animals!

“Alyssa is an amazing dog walker! Very punctual and caring. We feel completely comfortable and confident with her caring for our pup! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a professional to walk their dog! 5 stars!!”
