Dog Walking Machias

“Austin has become a part of the family!! We couldn’t be happier with his service. He’s attentive, loving, and hard working. Our youngest dog was a new rescue and his behavior and manners have improved ten fold thanks to a Austin’s consistent walking and training.”

“So great to have such a reliable person like Jeffrey to walk my puppy. He is prompt, he communicates, well, and takes amazing pictures of my dog along her walk. It’s so great to be able to know that my puppy is in good hands with Jeffrey.”

About: I have loved dogs my whole life, even made a career out of it. I have past experience with dog training, as well as having my own animals. I currently have 4 children that range in ages the youngest being an infant, please make sure your pups are good with small children. I do make sure my kids respect your pups boundaries and not climb all over or other things but if your dog is afraid of small children my home will not be a good fit. I have 5 animals.of my own. Maya my rottie is just an absolute love who is all about her babies, Sabrina my terrier just wants to play and cuddle, the three cats are all very dog friendly and love to meet new pups or cats. I will care for your animals like they were my own. I am very active and will make sure your fur baby is properly exercised. I am very passionate about animals and there over all health, i have my associate's degree in Veterinary Science, and then want to continue in the Veterinary field. Your fur baby will be in very good hands with me. Anything else you would like to know just ask!! I do require all dogs to be crate trained and fixed. For safety reasons all the dogs that come through my home including my own sleep in crates. I'm not able to supervise at night and your pups safety is my #1 priority. I also require all dogs to be fixed. I have had issues previously with dogs staying with me that were unaltered. I currently am a Stay-at-home Mom, with 4 children, one is an infant. I love to be physically active and walk dogs often, mental stimulation is a must and I have plenty of puzzle and stimulating toys. Dogs staying in my home are required to be fixed and flea treated!! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run. My two dogs would love to keep your fur baby company and to play and cuddle. I do require that dogs be crated at night for bedtime just for safety or else they free roam. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to play and exercise you pups!! When I'm not available to meet you for pick up or drop off my Husband is normally here to assist. I have a wonderful 2 story home with a fulll fenced in yard. My two amazing dogs would love to keep your pups company as they play and bounce around. For safety I do require your dogs to be crate trained because I do crate for bedtime and when I leave, other then that they free play and roam.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10! Growing up I owned multiple small and big dogs, helped breed golden retrievers, and I currently work as a kennel technician at The Puppy Store in Vineyard! I love taking care of dogs, I am experienced in medicine handling and administering, and grooming. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I am working part-time and go to school full-time, so I can work with you and we can make figure out our schedules! I’d be more than willing to drop by and take care of your dog, watch them, walk them, and love them! I’ll be flexible with you as long as you’re patient with me! I respect the dog’s boundaries and I try my best to gain their trust before I fully interact with them. If I go to your house I become fully aware of the space the dog has. I will never put your dog in a dangerous position. I am experienced in administering medication to your dog if necessary.

“Debbie did a great job walking Winston. She was on time and let Winston go at his own pace. He loves to stop and sniff and she didn’t hurry him along.”

About: Hello there! I am Candice. I have cared for pets, whether they were mine, family or neighbors since I was a teen. I have had cats, dogs, birds and rats. I love animals and will treat your babies like my own. I have senior care with both cats and dogs, can administer medication, including injections. I am a stay at home mom and a retired Oncology nurse. I have a lot of free time to take care of your pet! I know how hard it is to leave our pets behind when going on a trip or even being away for the day. I also know how important it is to find someone you trust with them. I will look after your pet like one of my own, helping them be happy and safe.

About: As an animal lover myself, I understand how stressful busy schedules can be for our fur babies (and their parents)! I have a flexible schedule and lots of belly scratches to give, so let me help you! Dogs have always been an integral part of my life and I currently have two of my own, Enzo and Bru. I have experience with puppies, seniors, handicapped dogs and have owned a variety of them all at one time or another. I have fostered shelter babies, cared for malnourished babies until they were healthy again, and cared for dogs after major surgeries as well. No dog is too small or too big. If I can help, please let me know! I currently have an open and flexible schedule with no unavailable days or times. I recently moved to Washington from Louisiana and am doing side work until school starts later this year. The safety of your pet is my highest priority (even above giving belly rubs), and I believe good communication is key for successful care. Whatever needs your pet has, I will do my absolute best to fulfill those needs while keeping them safe and happy.

About: I've had the advantage of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. My family adopted senior dogs throughout my childhood, we rescued all types of breeds including: Huskies, German Shepards, Labs, and many mixed mutts. I recently had to say good bye to my Golden Retriever, Chance, and I would love to spend some time with your pets. I am currently taking a sabbatical and have an open schedule for the next few months. I am available for pet care all days of the week. Located in the heart of Lake Stevens, our house is easily accessible to some great walking trails. I would love to spend time with your pups.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and people in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities, and I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs so they stay safe and happy. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time flexibly and doing hybrid college, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for house sitting whenever as long as I’m able to leave the house for classes and short shifts! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and any other care instructions the owner provides. I respect the client’s home and keep everything clean and organized while I’m there. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise so they stay happy while their owner is away. Communication is very important to me, so I always send updates and photos so pet parents know their pet is safe and doing well.

About: I currently have two client dogs and I am open to sitting 2-3 more. I come from a family of professional dog trainers. Feel free to reach out! Very well. I can feed often, let them out frequently, do leash walks and play with your dogs. I am an online college student with high moral values so I have a lot of time to tend. I am very reliable. Non smoker or drinker. Feed them, water them, leash walks, and cuddle/ play with them. Administer medications if needed. For my pups we frequently get new toys and go on hikes as well.

“Great as always and our pups love Kim a ton. Somehow they know they have to behave always with her. Our "puppy whisperer", cause they are crazy with us. ?”

About: My very best friend was a rescue American Staffordshire Terrier that I as lucky to have for 14 years. I’ve been working and volunteering at cat rescues for over 6 years. I’ve fostered bottle babies up to geriatric kitties with various medical needs. I've pet sat for friends and people who have adopted my foster cats, including any other pets they may have at home- like dogs and tortoises. Currently I am a stay at home parent. I am available for daily walks, drop ins or house sitting at your home. I am looking forward to building a trusting and fun relationship with your pet. I am located in North Everett. At this time I have a flexible schedule which gives me the availability to plan around your pets individual needs. At this time I can not offer constant care. Pets will need to be able to be left alone for 5 hours during the day. I like to keep the pets on their schedule and adhere to the owners care requirements. I will respect owner house rules and make the health and safety of an animal under my care a priority.

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life and have professionally worked with animals for just over a year. I’m a dog trainer always looking for more experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, ages, etc. I genuinely just enjoy and love working with animals and helping them out! I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I’m available most early mornings, afternoons, or late night during the week. Weekends i’m free to help in the evening times. I’m all about safety when it comes to working with animals. I have multiple things on my person at all times to help prevent incidents from happening.

About: I've had years of experience taking care of my own pets and also worked as a pet groomer for many years. I've had many animals throughout my life dogs, cats, ferrets, tortoises you name it. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule during the week and my weekends are wide open to spend time with your pets or have them over at my house. I have a fenced backyard and two dogs of my own that love to run and play with other dogs. While your pet is with me they are part of our family.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. I have done everything from dog boarding, feeding, bathroom breaks and walks. I truly enjoy taking care of animals! I’m currently a stay at home mom with tons of available time! I’m available any weekday or weekend. Morning, afternoons and evenings! I have a 7 year old daughter who also loves animals and is very aware of their space. I live on 2-1/3 acres tucked away on a small private road. My Property does not have a fence however anytime the dogs are out I am supervising. I have a very large outdoor kennel as well. It’s an absolute dream for dogs who love to run around and play! I have an 8 year old mini Australian Shepherd who is full of energy so he can play all day with the super energetics dogs. Or they can have separate space if need be as well. I also have an entire living room dedicated to dogs where there are gates to keep them in. Comfy Chairs, couch and dog beds for them to lay on. For boarding We have dog crates that we can put in the living room or in a separate room if need be.

About: I’ve been trusted to take care of many of my families dogs. Feeding their dogs, taking them out for walks, keeping them entertained, and picking up after themselves. I’m a High School student about to graduate so after graduation I am not busy at all, walking dogs would be an excellent way to stay active during nice days. I walk/play with my dog everyday keeping him active and healthy, feed him when need be and clean up after him. When going over to families house I take the dog out for walks, play with them and clean up any messes they made.

“Marlene goes above and beyond walking my dog and making sure he is well taken care of while I’m away at work. She is a great person to work with!”

About: I have been around all different kinds of pets my whole life and have always played a part in looking after and caring for them. I am super close with animals and I love getting to know them and connecting with them on a deeper level as well. Family often relies on me to look after pets while out of town and I have also taken part in some pet sitting jobs outside of family that have included basic walks, day-time visits, and sometimes over-night stays. I am currently taking some college classes but still have a lot of free time throughout the week. I’m not working any other jobs either so I’m pretty flexible aside from when I need to be in class. I try to make sure pets feel comfortable with me in their homes while remaining respectful to their environment and routine. I think it’s important to remain flexible as all pets have wants and needs specific to them.

“I appreciate Mishie's flexibility: She is new to us and was not planning on starting for several more weeks with my pup but I picked up extra shift and Mishie was available with a little rearranging of the day she made sure my Bella had a good walk and some attention to break up her day while I was at work. Thank you for taking the time and the care for put little velociraptor.”

“Adam is fantastic! He's reliable and a quick to respond to messages and requests. He quickly learned my dog's favorite spots in the neighborhood and let's him watch his squirrel friends. He provides reports and pictures. After a long walk with Adam, my dog is ready to nap until I get home from work. Totally recommend Adam!”
