Dog Walking Lakebay

“Kim walked my 50-pound lab-pit mix every other day. Kim took great care of my dog! My dog chose Kim from four dog walkers. She chose well! My dog was so happy to see Kim arrive and wanted to go with her when it was time to go. Kim took lots of pictures to share with me. She helped my dog with walking commands. I would hire her again!!!”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for a little over 6 years. Helping out with relatives whenever they were running errands, or staying at family friends houses while they go vacation. I, myself, have owned a couple dogs and cats and have raised them through puppy hood to seniors. Having this experience has helped me with caring for other dogs and cats alike. I currently work full time up in Uptown, Gig Harbor. I have different work schedule than most- starting usually at 4am and getting off at 12:30pm or 1pm, Some days I might work a shorter shift. Being able to get off early though allows me to spend time and care for many pets! I like to make sure that all animals are comfortable and happy, wether that be with a good walk or snuggles in the couch. It’s important that in the end all parties pet or owner are satisfied by the end of the service :)

“Michele was awesome! She was quick to respond and great at communicating. I enjoyed the photos she sent of my dog during her walk. She was even willing to drive my dog to a super awesome park. Highly recommend!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities! I have personally helped with feeding, potty breaks, bathing, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention! More recently, I have helped care for an energetic Australian Shepherd and a senior Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, adapting my care to each dog's individual needs and personality. I make sure all types of dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently a college student at home for the summer, so I have plenty of free time in my daily schedule to play with your pups! My schedule is very flexible, and I have lots of availability for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I do not currently offer pet care services in my own home. I prefer to care for pets in their own homes, where they are already familiar with their surroundings and feel safest and most comfortable. I will follow each pet's usual routine and their owner's instructions closely, while providing plenty of supervision. I want every pet and their owner to feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for.

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.

About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for special-needs cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for budgies, cockatiels, and cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and behavior so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide the care they need while treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m available throughout the weekdays/weekends and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home or, if you’re comfortable with it, in my home. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore safely. I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates with texts, photos, or calls to let you know how your pet is doing. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.

“Bronwen is wonderful to work with! She has a gift working with big dogs. We appreciate her experience and wonderful intuition!”

“Lisa was awesome and handled my very strong, animal reactive dog! She was always prompt and very communicative. My dog was sooo excited to see her so I know she was in great hands!”

Maggie G.

“Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!”

Kathleen S.

“Lacey is wonderful with my dogs. My "difficult" dog, Rocky, took to her right away. Lacey has paid close attention to how I like things done and is cheerful and friendly. I will definitely continue to have Lacey work with Rocky and Ruby for their exercise needs.”

Maureen R.

“Tabutha was a great help last minute when I needed help with dog walking. She is responsive, communicates well and with updates, checks on my home during the time and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Very thankful for Tabuthas dog walking services!”

About: I have dog sat for my neighbors since I was in my teens and continue to dog sit for neighbors, roommates, and family whenever it is needed. I personally have two dogs, and one is a very reactive puppy that I have been working with/training since I got him 5yrs ago. I have raised 3 litters of puppies, house trained, kennel trained, off leash trained, and basic commands. I believe that dogs are truly our best friends. I am currently a newly single mother who is looking for a schedule that works around my little girl. I have open availability Monday-Sunday starting after 9am (Mon, Tues, Thurs, & Fri), after 10am (Wed) and depending on the weekend; I can be available at any time. I have a completely fenced yard that is almost the size of what you would find in a small dog park. The rest of the property is not fenced in but there is a runner that is on the property, along with mini hiking trails to venture through and plenty of running room for zoomies. For my own dogs, we start the morning off with a walk through the trails and follow it with breakfast. Then half the day is cozy sleeping on one of the million dog beds they own, and we cap off our evening before dinner with zoomies in the fenced yard were ball tossing, tug away, and lots of chasing each other happens. If the care is in a client's home, I follow any directions that are left for me from walking, outside time, feeding routine, grooming, etc. I treat your pet just like I would treat my own with consistency, love, and lots of belly rubs.

About: Hi, my name is Genesis and I absolutely adore all kinds of animals. I have owned dogs and cats since I was a child, and I also worked at and managed a kennel for two years. I am comfortable with all sizes of pets! I am well experienced with feeding, handling, and medicating many different dogs and cats. I am currently a student at Grand Canyon University, majoring in Biology with an Emphasis in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I plan on going to Vet school after I graduate! I am currently available every day except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can always be there when your pet needs! I currently offer drop-ins and walks for your fur babies! I will always care for your animals depending on their needs and the owner's instructions.

About: I love animals and always have. I believe they set us free and cure the pain we harbor. I am trying to get my health back in order while making an extra income to support unexpected life changes! I currently work full time. So working around that schedule until I move out of the position in the near future. But after work I walk my dog and try to get in as much play time in my fenced yard as possible. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space for your baby to run and play! I have locking doors and a gate to make sure they are secure when necessary as well as outdoor cameras survailing my property.

“Mary-Elizabeth is such a sweetheart, and such a professional. On short notice, she not only made time for a walk but made it a priority to make time to meet with us first. She put us at ease, and I feel confident that our pup enjoyed her presence. Thank you!”

Natasha W.

“Diane does really well with my dog. She leaves very thorough reports, including a map of the walking route she takes, and a note to let me know how everything went each day.”

About: I grew up on farms and ranches, and have cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, dispositions, and ages. How can I help you create the perfect, supportive routine for your fur-baby(ies). What do they need? More walks? Someone to watch them while you are at work or on vacation? Let me support you, so your pets can thrive! I'm currently working part-time and from home, so I have lots of flexibility to fit your pet's needs into my routine! And what better way to fill my time than helping your pet be healthy, happy, and supported! I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs to keep your fur-baby company. We also have an inside cat, who would love to have a friend to play with. Is your pet nervous in unfamiliar places? I'm happy to come to you! I will keep your spaces clean, and provide all the care and exercise your pet needs.

“Patrick was amazing; super laidback, confident and reliable with our rowdy bunch, especially our insecure special needs senior pup. Went above and beyond with dog walks and kept us abreast of all the important and interesting happenings back at home, everything we wanted, nothing we didnt. Exactly what you want from Rover”

About: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.
