Dog Walking Madison Park

“Noah is lovely. I have an anxious/reactive puppers and Noah took the time to get to know us and learn about our training and management strategies. He is very responsive and let me know that he was arriving a couple minutes early. Gus came back from his walk happy and relaxed.”

“Faeden was super helpful in coordinating daily walks for my mini Aussie! They were very communicative and flexible on timing and responsible with my dog. I definitely recommend Faeden for dog boarding and walking :)”

About: I’m the kind of person who’d rather spend time with dogs than humans (seriously, they’re the best!). I miss my dog back home, and that’s part of why I’m so excited to offer pet sitting/walking. I truly enjoy the company of animals, and I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe and cared for—whether it’s a playful walk or just hanging out on the couch. I get that every pet is different, and I’m here to make sure yours feels at home with me. I’m all about creating a comfortable, fun experience for your furry friend (dogs AND cats) while you’re at work or away! My part-time work as an online French instructor means I have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pet plenty of care, playtime, and attention. Whether it's drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care around my routine. My husband is also a Rover sitter, and sometimes, we like to tag team and care for your pet together—if that’s something you're comfortable with. We both love dogs and enjoy giving them extra companionship and love while you’re away! When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, so they don’t feel stressed or out of place! Most importantly, I'll always give your pet lots of love and attention, or respect his space if he needs it.

“Emily is responsible, punctual, walks fast and is all around an amazing walker for our mini Aussie Billie. Thanks so much for the walks, Emily!”

“Leah is very responsive, getting right back to me when I contact her, which I really appreciate. She gave Josie a lovely walk, and then fed her when she got back. She took very good care of Josie, and I will definitely use her again.”

About: I've been caring for my family's dogs and cats for over 15 years, including raising them from puppies and kittens through their senior years. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. For the past 8 years, I've also provided overnight stays and daily drop-in visits for the pets of friends and family. I'm experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication when needed, and keeping pets comfortable and safe while you're away. I currently work part-time at a restaurant from Saturday to Monday. This leaves me with lots of time on weekdays to provide all the care your pets may need! I know every pet has their own routine, so I always follow your care instructions closely to keep them happy and comfortable. I'm reliable, respectful of your home, and pay attention to the little details, from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and medications. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hello! You can call me Christy :) I have 5+ years of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s routine. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, exercise, and photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐶 I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays, with morning, lunchtime, evening, and weekend availability. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Since I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention and aren’t left alone for long periods. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, and preferences to help them feel comfortable. I provide regular photo updates, treat every home with respect, and prioritize your pet’s safety and happiness every step of the way.

“After a long walk, Shaw was so willing to play with our young dog who has boundless energy. She was a huge help in very short notice!”

“I went out of town for 6 days and Craig was able to walk, feed, and provide companionship for my dog. He was well liked by Obi and when I arrived back he was happy to show me Craig with his tail wagging. Craig provided exactly what Obi needed.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with both large and small dogs, so I'm comfortable with pups of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I've been pet sitting for friends and neighbors since 2015 and have experience caring for pets in a variety of home environments. For the last five years, I've lived with roommates' dogs and cats, giving me daily experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I work from home full time, which means I love having a furry companion by my side throughout the workday. Your pet will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care, and I can easily stick to their usual routine with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I strive to provide patient, reliable, and loving care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks or your cat prefers a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work from home full-time on my computer and love a furry companion to keep company with! I am available for bookings anytime, and prefer long-term bookings to take the time to get to know your fur baby and make them feel comfortable with me. I am available throughout the day to go on walks, and I love being outdoors. Unfortunately, I am not able to board as there are other pets in my home. I prioritize maintaining the pets routine and appreciate being left with detailed care instructions that I can follow closely. Whether I'm house sitting or taking your dog for a walk, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and a safe, comfortable environment. Since I work from home, I can also provide extra companionship and consistency during house-sitting stays.

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, I can navigate puppy-hood to senior care. I have experience with big and small, separation anxiety, on and off leash behavior issues. As for cats, I didn't find my feline affinity until a bit later in life. I had my own cat (miss him so!) and I have volunteered at PAWS Cat City for more than a decade where I assist with adoptions, cleaning, cat socialization and care. I even volunteer and help out with the care of local mini horses. Can you believe there are mini horses in the city?!? I have finite bandwidth but I will communicate clearly to be sure that I am a right fit for your pet. I am eager to help pet parents and provide quality care to their furkids. I live in Madison Valley and have a single family home with a completely fenced in back yard with lots of terrain and territory to explore.

“Lyric is an exceptional dog-carer, and her own pup is sweet and friendly. Do not hesitate to book her for all your walking and watching needs!”

About: Hello! As a volunteer with a local animal shelter and wildlife rehabilitation center I have had experience providing complex care for animals with all sorts of differing needs. Growing up with, and continuing to care for, animals of my own has taught me so much about providing care at every stage of life. I have helped raise puppies, kittens, small chicks, and bottle fed orphaned wildlife. I am very comfortable understanding and respecting the boundaries of more reactive animals and will tailor my care to your pets individual needs and personality. I would be honored to be entrusted with your pets care and prioritize safety and communication above all else! I have a flexible schedule and will work with you in order to provide the best care for your pet/s where and when you need it. Safety is my number one priority, and I believe wholeheartedly in always acting with care and honesty. The care I provide is informed by your advice and individual needs, and the most important thing to me is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your pet.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I enjoy building trust with each dog and creating a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and happy. Whether we're playing, walking, or just relaxing, I strive to make their time with me feel like a fun visit with a friend. I am working part time and flexible. I would prefer long walks and potty breaks. I am also available to provide shuttle to and from the vet. I don’t have a fenced yard but live right next to a park and Lake Washington. As a result, time spent outdoors will be accommodated by leash.

“Nikki was great with my reactive dog.”

“Lisa treats my dog like her own! My pup LOVES to halt in the middle of grass and roll around, and Lisa engages with that and frequently stops and smells the roses together. I love how many pictures I get and how attentive and caring Lisa is.”

“Aleksandr was reliable and patient with our large, barky, anxious doggie. After the first day our dog was so excited to see him, and he had a really calming, positive effect. Highly recommended!”

About: My husband and I live in North Capitol Hill with our Malinois and German Shepherd. As the owner of a dog I trust with very few people, I understand how stressful it can be to hand someone else the leash or access to your home. My goal is to work closely with you, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure your pet is treated with patience, attention, respect, and genuine affection. My strongest experience is with large, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I have raised both of my dogs from puppyhood: a German Shepherd and an 85-pound rescue Belgian Malinois with anxiety and reactivity. Caring for dogs who are strong, athletic, sensitive, and constantly thinking has taught me patience, consistency, calm handling, and how to anticipate problems before they happen. I regularly walk both dogs together, managing nearly 200 pounds of energy, strength, and occasional squirrel chasing. On walks, I am fully present and not distracted by my phone. I continually monitor for approaching dogs, traffic, cyclists, tight spaces, environmental triggers, and safe alternate routes. I understand that responsible handling often means preventing a difficult situation instead of waiting until one has already developed. That same awareness carries into the home. I am used to dogs who can open doors, get past barriers, jump onto counters, move large objects such as trash cans, and reach hazards that many people would never anticipate. I carefully check for medications, food, trash, unsecured doors, and anything else a curious or determined pet might access. With smart dogs, the smallest overlooked detail can quickly become a much larger problem. My experience also includes: • Puppies, including house-training routines, frequent potty breaks, consistency, and managing chewing or mischievous behavior • Senior dogs who may require a slower pace, extra patience, mobility accommodations, or closer observation • Anxious and reactive dogs who benefit from structure, space, calm communication, and predictable routines • Cats, including feeding, litter-box care, play, companionship, and following each cat’s preferred level of interaction I do not assume that experience with my own pets means I automatically understand yours. Every animal has different routines, triggers, boundaries, medical needs, and quirks. I welcome detailed instructions and honest information about behavior, anxiety, reactivity, past incidents, or anything I should avoid. That information does not intimidate me. It allows me to provide safer and more confident care. My schedule is flexible because I do not work a traditional nine-to-five job. I am currently on summer break while finishing my degree in interior design, and I can accommodate weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and recurring care depending on location and timing. When school resumes, most of my time will be spent working independently on my capstone project, with only a few scheduled classes each week. I expect to maintain substantial flexibility throughout the academic year and am interested in building long-term relationships with recurring clients. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept bookings I know I can reliably fulfill. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and take time to understand their pet’s routine, boundaries, health needs, and home setup. In a client’s home, I pay close attention to doors, gates, food, medications, trash, cleaning products, and anything a curious or determined pet could reach. Before leaving, I confirm that the home is secure and that each pet has fresh water, access to the correct areas, and a comfortable environment. During walks, I stay off my phone and remain aware of approaching dogs, traffic, cyclists, narrow sidewalks, and possible triggers. I avoid unnecessary interactions with unfamiliar dogs, adjust the route when needed, and use the equipment and handling methods provided by the owner. I do not take dogs off leash unless we are in a fully enclosed area and the owner has specifically approved it. Trust also means communication. I provide clear updates and will contact you if I notice anything unusual, including changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits. I would rather ask a question than make an assumption. I also have a large SUV and reliable transportation. If urgent veterinary care is ever necessary, I can safely transport dogs of various sizes, follow the owner’s emergency instructions, and keep them informed throughout.
