Dog Walking Lawters Beach

About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.

About: **I do have base access!** I grew up with cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and even mice. 🐭 I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility. Know that I have a cat of my own, Bo (8 years), but he does great with other pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and lots of time to care for your furry baby! I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left feeling lonely while you’re away. I live in a spacious three-bedroom apartment with plenty of safe space for your kitty to explore and get comfortable. For new visitors, I reserve my laundry room/guest bathroom as their own quiet space so they can decompress and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Once they’re comfortable, there’s a long hallway that’s perfect for zoomies and plenty of room to explore! I also have a third-floor balcony that my own cat absolutely loves. He spends hours watching the hummingbirds fly up to visit him. 🐦 Any visiting kitties will always be closely supervised if they spend time on the balcony with me. I know every cat adjusts differently, so I’m happy to give them as much space, attention, or company as they need to feel safe and at home. 🐱

About: With a wealth of experience from owning dogs and cats my whole life and walking/pet-sitting for the past 15 years for dogs of all sizes and demeanors, at the end of the day I just love hanging out with animals! The goal is always to provide loving and informed pet care while making it a fun time for everyone involved :) I’m all for providing care that fits your pet’s specific needs and personality! Specific experience with training puppies and caring for senior dogs in my own home. I work part time remotely with a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of requests! Most days I’m flexible and open with any timing. For services in your home: I'm very respectful and aware of the space and your pet’s needs - never forgetting to shower your pet with love and attention! For services in my home: Your pet will be part of the family and closely looked after while they’re with me. They’ll have comfortable places to rest and hangout inside as well as a fenced yard to use and play in. I have one very sweet dog for them to hang out with too!

“My doggie loved going on a run/walk with Clarissa. I have also noticed a bit of improvement when I walk my dog Hachiko, he isn't pulling as hard on the leash and is much calmer. Clarissa has shown up for every scheduled walk and gone above and beyond the 30 minute walk time and also has been going a good distance when jogging or running with my pup. Which is excellent for him because he is an energetic one-year old dog! I can't thank you enough.”

About: I’ve fostered dogs with the company Animal pad in San Diego, I adopted one of those dogs and I volunteer for the Kitsap humane society. I’m recently out of the Navy and about to start school. Looking for short term income where I can have a flexible schedule on the new journey in my life. I will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you are away and send plenty of cute pictures so you know they are cared for so you can enjoy your time.

About: I’ve always been a lover of animals big and small! I’ve been in the pet sitting business for the past 4 years. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel like their fur babies are in safe hands and with me they are. I am currently a substitute teacher and have a pretty open schedule. Some days I do work 7 hours but when I’m free your pets are my priority. I always respect the clients rules and how they take care of their pets and home. I’m comfortable in most houses and with all animals.

About: I've been around animals all my life! From as small as a mouse to as big as a horse, I love spending my time with animals. I have experience with training dogs (not certified), and love going down animal behavioral rabbit holes (pun intended). My goal is to make sure your babies are taken care and safe while you are away! I am disabled and mostly work several gigs jobs so my time is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients on their needs. I want to respect your and your pet's space and will be very mindful of where they feel comfortable. If you have crate instructions, I am comfortable doing that as well.

“My girl Sage is a timid baby and it takes a while for her to feel comfortable with new people. When Adam came to our house for a meet and greet, Sage was up, tail wagging and all up in his space the moment she saw him. Adam takes Sage for walks during My work days which are very long. Sage is happy and I am very happy. I highly recommend Adam as he is a gentle spirit who obviously a doggy whisperer!!! Belinda & Sage”

About: I grew up with showing and breeding Golden Retrievers, giving me hands-on experience since age 12. I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life- walking, bathing, and grooming. I promise to provide attentive care to each pet’s comfort and routine. I currently work full-time as a supervisor at Starbucks. I either work 3:30-11:30am or 6:00-2:00pm. I have two days of a week, usually one weekend day :) Pets in my own home have their own barn with inside/outside access during the day, but are crated at night. We have five acres and love having playtime outside. I am able to meet most needs for pets.

“Wendy was friendly and very caring, I felt great about her taking care of my cat and dog and she really went above and beyond in her care. Would absolutely book again.”

“We never have to worry about our large breed dogs being in good hands - that kind of “peace of mind” is priceless, especially when we’re not near home!”

“We LOVE Amanda and so do our dogs (older Border Collie and young Australian Shepherd)! She is very dependable and trustworthy and is very skilled with dogs. We breathe a sigh of relief knowing that our beloved pets are in good, safe hands. You can tell that she is devoted to caring for canines and we appreciate the kind care that she provides for the special dogs in our lives!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and treat every pet as if they were my family. As a dog owner and a person with anxiety, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I’m fully committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, so patience, attentiveness, and communication are all qualities of mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’m more than happy to accommodate medication schedules, special feeding routines, puppy care, and senior pet care. As a military spouse, I 100% understand that plans can change and am very flexible. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates with plenty of photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I am now home full-time with my son who is 3 months old. Therefore, I have pretty open availability to provide loving and reliable care for your fur babies. I live in a military community that is dog friendly and I also have a mini labradoodle who can keep your dog company! He absolutely loves new friends!

“While I was out if state, Cassie took my dog on walks, three times a week, for several weeks. She was very good at communicating and caring for my dog. She was concerned about roaming dogs in my neighborhood, so drove him to another safe neighborhood. I really appreciated the time and care!”

About: Responsible dog lover with experience caring for rescue dogs and elderly dogs! Need help with your fur-baby? I love dogs and have experiencing walking dogs, fostering shelter dogs, and house sitting. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages and will reinforce any behavior training you and your dog are working on. I’m organized, caring and very responsible. Looking forward to hearing from you! I am a travel PT with a love for animals but move around too much for work to have my own pets t the moment. I work outside of the home so I can accommodate morning and evening walks/potty breaks and evening cuddles! I prefer to care for your pets in your own home (house sitting and drop-ins, not boarding or day-care), as the environment is familiar and it makes everything less stressful for them. I ask for detailed instructions on any routines and schedules your dog is used to and any behaviors you want me to reinforce to make the transition as smooth as possible for your pet.

About: While working as a pet groomer we had several pets be left overnight for boarding to which I had to tend to all animals who were left. So I’m already very accustomed to the whole pet boarding regiment and a professional level. I work an overnight schedule to which I’m able to set my own hours or leave at a moments notice should anything occur. I live in Bremerton and work in Bainbridge so I travel through all those cities. I have a big fenced in front and back yard on a lake property in a peaceful cul-de-sac. I’m happy to crate train a pet if need be. I’m also happy to groom your pet if need be.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, especially dogs, having grown up surrounded by them. In addition to raising family pets, I've cherished my Australian shepherd, Olly, for 7 years, and when I met my now husband he brought a wonderful border Collie mix, 3 years ago, but has owned him for 8 years. We've filled their lives with love through daily walks, outdoor adventures like hiking and camping, and endless exploration. Olly I trained from a puppy and Hank was adopted at 3 and at 11 now he is still learning new tricks! Throughout caring for Olly and Hank, I've also opened our home to friends' pets, treating them with the same affection and care. I'm excited to extend this love and commitment to your dogs, whether through dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding! I work in the office two days a week, but otherwise I work from home! So two of the days maybe longer time before getting let out. We love first and foremost, so that they feel welcomed. We will read their energy to make sure they feel calm and not stressed when they are here. We will provide great exercise and loads of cuddles.
