About: I spent two years working as a vet tech, and I’ve loved animals my whole life. After a career in biotech, I’m returning to what I love most: spending my days with animals in a calmer, cozier way, with long walks, snuggles, and one-on-one attention. My clinic experience means I’m comfortable handling nervous, senior, and special-needs pets, giving medications, and noticing when something seems off, so you can feel confident your fur baby is in good hands. I also frequently dog and house sit for friends, so I’m used to caring for pets in their own homes, following their routines, and keeping everything running smoothly while owners are away. My biotech background also means I’m careful, detail-oriented, and great at following routines and instructions exactly. You’ll get regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and a patient caregiver who treats your pet like family. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’d love to set up a meet and greet so you and your pet can get to know me! Pet care is my main focus, so my schedule is flexible and I’m available to house site weekends (Friday night-Monday night) and am available for dog walking/checking in/feeding during the days on Tues-Thurs until 5pm. As I need to be home Tues-Thurs nights, I can care for your pets at my home Tues-Thurs, should the need arise. I can do daytime walks and drop-in visits. I’m home most of the day, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches if they stay with me, and I respond to messages quickly. I’m also happy to work around your routine, including early mornings, midday breaks, and sometimes holidays. Just let me know what your dog needs. Safety comes first, always. With two years of vet tech experience, I know how to spot the early signs that a pet isn’t feeling well, such as changes in appetite, lethargy, breathing, or bathroom habits, and I’ll contact you right away if anything seems off. I’m comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions exactly as written. In your home: I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and bedtime, and I keep your home secure, tidy, and just as I found it. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can see how things are going. In my home: I live in a small apartment with a quiet, pet-safe space. For long stays, I'd recommend smaller pets however I can host large dogs for one or two nights. I have no other pets. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable space with fresh water, cozy bedding, and plenty of attention. Pets are never left unsupervised around hazards, and I keep doors secure. Walks: I use the leash and/or harness your pet is accustomed to, keep a close eye on your pet’s body language, and never let pets off-leash unless you’ve approved it. I bring water for longer outings and pick up after your pet every time. Emergencies: I’ll have your vet’s contact information and your emergency contact on hand, and I’ll reach out immediately if anything happens. I’m happy to follow your instructions about when to call your vet or an emergency clinic. I’d love to meet you and your pet first so we can go over their routine, health needs, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy.

“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 grown up with and trained dogs since I was 3–german shepherds & golden retrievers. One of my family’s GSD had puppies at home and we raised the seven through 8 weeks and kept one! Through college, I dog sat a golden doodle on a weekly basis. I am quite familiar with the needs of high energy dogs, and love chilling with low energy pets too 😊 I have a hybrid work schedule, in the office tuesdays & wednesdays, but free in the mornings and after work even those days! I get up early and work out most days with time still before my meetings at 830, so mornings are easy for me to stop by and check in, take your pups on walks, or hang out with them for a bit! My schedule when I’m working from home is a bit more flexible and I can fit in drop ins during the day too. After work (after 5) is no problem any day. With enough notice I can make almost any time work! I can easily pick up your pets regular routine, I love to maintain consistency so feel free to give me all the details! I am happy to work with you to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible!

About: I have many dogs in my life that I help provide care for, including walking and pet-sitting. I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, and ages of dog and feel comfortable dealing with tricky situations. I have lived with 2 puppies over the past 3 years and learned a great about the challenges of caring for dogs during this exciting time. I have also cared for older dogs with more limited mobility and activity levels. I enjoy walking and being outside and would love to meet your pet. I am responsible, quick thinking, and calm under pressure and can be a fun companion for your special companion. In addition to dogs, I grew up in a cat household (4+) and cat sit for friends often.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and people in my community for over five years. I first started walking dogs as a summer job when I was 15, and over the years it has grown into a genuine passion. I have cared for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, including seniors who need a little extra patience and love. As the longtime owner of a chihuahua mix who recently passed after 17 wonderful years, I deeply understand the importance of quality time and special care during a dog’s golden years. Beyond dogs, I’ve also been trusted to look after cats and even exotic pets, building lasting relationships with pet parents in both Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m currently a part-time student, which means I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for house sitting Wednesday through Sunday, and on most weekdays I only have classes from 10am–2pm, leaving mornings, afternoons, and evenings open for your pets. My weekends are generally open as well. I’m happy to provide care for your pet in your home or secure yard. Please share any health needs, routines, or behavioral quirks so I can give your pet the best possible care and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Jana is fantastic walking my dog Poppy 3 days a week, and has been super detail oriented and helpful in helping me teach her good habits. Highly recommend!”

About: **Pet Care Experience** I deeply care for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and amphibians, especially those who struggle with fear, anxiety, or past traumas. With 25 years of personal caregiving experience and 15 years of dedicated training in animal husbandry, I have devoted my life to understanding and nurturing all kinds of animals, whether they are beloved pets or cherished farm companions. My approach is rooted in modern, scientifically-proven training methods that prioritize positive reinforcement, gentle redirection, and fear-free handling. I am committed to building trust, confidence, and safety in every interaction, and I truly believe in meeting each animal where they are emotionally, honoring their unique pace and individual needs. Above all, my goal is to create a nurturing environment where every interaction is restorative, joyful, and filled with unconditional love and patience. I understand the journey of coming out of your shell, and I strive to provide a calm, safe space where animals can heal, trust, and ultimately thrive. I also have experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, and adapting my care to meet special needs. Whether your animal needs gentle reassurance or playful companionship, I am here to offer compassionate, personalized care that respects and supports their unique journey. Pet care is a significant part of my life, and I have set aside time in my schedule to provide attentive and compassionate care on weekends, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I am available Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. For an additional fee, I am also available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays starting after 9:00 a.m. I offer flexibility on weekends if extra care is needed, as well as overnight stays and holiday care upon request. By focusing my care on these specific days, I can give each animal my full attention, patience, and love, ensuring a positive and supportive experience every time we are together. Every pet deserves to feel safe, respected, and comfortable in their environment. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in a client's home, I prioritize creating a calm, structured, and positive space tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy enrichment activities such as lick mats, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard with 6+ foot tall fences for safe outdoor play and private areas where dogs can rest undisturbed if they need a break from other animals. Every animal is welcome on the couch for snuggles and is encouraged to feel at home. I utilize gentle, positive reinforcement and maintain clear, consistent routines to help pets feel secure. For animals with fear, anxiety, or a history of trauma, I prioritize slow introductions, patience, and fear-free handling to build trust at their own pace. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring that pets' surroundings remain familiar and stress-free. I follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and behavior protocols closely, maintaining consistency and safety. I am also attentive to environmental safety—checking gates, securing leashes, and removing hazards—and I communicate regularly with pet parents to provide peace of mind. My goal is always to provide gentle, reliable care that fosters trust and confidence in both pets and their humans.

“Bruce was excellent, communicated perfectly, and clearly loves dogs. He helped me out when I couldn't walk my sister's dog. My sister and I will definitely request his help in the future. Thank you Bruce!”

“Hi I just wanted to a minute and talk about how amazing Heidi is! Heidi is so great with Bruno, I've seen such a change in him since she's been in his life. When I get home and take him out he's happier and more relaxed than before. With my partner's and my schedules being so different Heidi has helped us to not worry about Bruno being anxious waiting for us to go outside. His quality of life has gone up and it shows! We love having Heidi we're very grateful at how skilled she is with Bruno, she's so amazing😁❤️”

“Caitlin exceeded my expectations from the start! Great communicator, patient with me while figuring out “Rover” works, and understanding when provided the wrong door entrance code. She provided thorough information and pictures of daily walks. Took great care of our two pups. I would highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and different breeds. Anything from huskies to cockapoos to pit bulls to border collies. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I've stayed with many dogs for friends in Baltimore and Seattle. I also volunteered with Adopt a Husky Minnesota by helping to transport dogs between fosters, taking dogs to adoption events, writing adoption bios for the website, and served as the event photographer for the annual Woo Woo Pawlooza adoption and fundraiser event. In addition to volunteer and personal experience, I’ve been working at a dog daycare in Capitol Hill where I care for dogs of all shapes and sizes, doing anything from walks, feedings, playtime, and administering medications. With all the dogs I've come into contact with, I especially love those with disabilities. My current dog is a partially blind, mostly deaf Australian Shepherd named Peanut. I've adapted training to fit her needs best (taps and touches on different parts of her body for command cues). But Peanut isn't the only dog with disabilities I've trained or cared for-- I can handle almost anything from reactive dogs to those who need a little extra help getting around. My philosophy has always been that no matter the dog's breed and/or abilities or limitations, it deserves the same amount of love and care as any other dog, even when you can't be there. At the moment, my schedule is very open. I take my dog, Peanut, on walks about four times per day so I am no stranger to walking. Our schedule is flexible. If you need an overnight stay, we can chat about specifics. I also always ensure there's a little time for play so that any dog I care for builds and keeps that trust with me. Care for dogs should always be adapted to what works best for them. If your dog is adventurous and loves to be outside, I will take them outside and walk them to their heart's content. I love being outside and walking, even if it's pouring rain or snowing. If your dog is shy and would rather stay inside and play where they're comfortable, we can play all kinds of games--my dog loves to wrestle and roughhouse in typical Aussie fashion. I want to respect your boundaries as much as your dog's boundaries as well. Wherever you feel comfortable, I am happy to meet you there.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Dog Walking Experience with Jeffrey P! I cannot recommend Jeffrey P enough! He took my 14-month-old Siberian Husky, Henry, out for an hour-long walk yesterday, and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Henry is full of energy and can be quite a handful, but Jeffrey handled him with such skill, patience, and care. When Henry returned home, he was happy, well-exercised, and completely content—exactly what every Husky owner hopes for! Jeffrey’s professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for dogs truly set him apart. It’s clear that he understands how to work with high-energy breeds, and I felt completely at ease knowing Henry was in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and experienced dog walker, Jeffrey P is the best choice. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

About: Hi! I'm Michelle and I provide great care for your pets! I am comfortable with big, small, young, old, sleepy, energetic, and any other type of dog. I grew up with German Shepherds and beagles and now am a proud owner of an 8 year old Miniature Pinscher named Sadie Hawkins. I have experience with volunteer dog training at the Humane Society where I learned positive reinforcement training techniques and clicker training. I was part of the volunteer group that rehabilitated dogs rescued by the Humane Society from a dog fighting ring in 2009, now known as the "Missouri 500 Dogfighting Raid". My point is, if I can handle ex fighting dogs, I can handle your little ( or Big ) ball of joy no problem! I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend time with your pet and give them the attention they need. I will care for your pet to meet their needs. I can offer frequent potty breaks, administer medicine, provide exercise time, and whatever else your pet may need.
