Dog Walking Matthews Beach

“Harper is great! She is extremely punctual, patient and thoughtful. On the hot day she brings water bottle so that my dog stays hydrated. My dog loves going for walks with Harper!”

About: I have had many pets over the years and have a soft heart for all animals. I am communicative, follow instructions, and am very responsible. Currently jobless and could really use the work until I find a new one. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and in home sitting currently. Feel free to message me with questions. I believe that transparent communication and honesty are important to being good with pets. Each visit will get you 2-4 pictures and a detailed Rover card of the visit. Currently, I have a fully fenced in yard, understand leash safety and being a pet owner myself, understand the responsibility of pets.

About: Saying I love animals doesn't even begin to describe it! I've had dogs my entire life, but have been dogsitting for friends, family and coworkers for the last 13 years. I’m a longtime volunteer at Seattle Animal Shelter as a dog walker and dog behavior team member, so I have experience with a wide variety of dogs and their quirks. I trained with a dog behaviorist to work with more challenging dogs in the shelter environment and use positive reinforcement training methods only, no exception. I was also a foster parent before adopting my sassy old lady, first fostering puppies (and getting really good at potty training!), before moving on to senior dogs who were struggling in the shelter. I've been vegan for a decade and know that animals are sentient beings with their own likes and dislikes, schedules they like to adhere to, and more — and I make sure to meet the pet where they're at. Specific Skills: Reactivity, Anxiety/Fear, Strong Pullers, Stranger Danger, Training Basics I work remotely on East Coast hours — my schedule has plenty of flexibility! I'm happy to accomodate based on your pet's needs and schedule. I would love to use my years of dog and cat handling experience to take your dog out to stretch its legs, hang out with your kitty and make sure their physical and emotional needs are fulfilled.

About: Hi! My name is Jeanine. I work full‑time as a Fellowship Program Administrator, with four days a week working from home and one day a week in the office. I offer house sitting, drop‑in visits, and dog walking. Because I mainly work from home, I have the flexibility to care for your pets’ needs throughout the day. Though I’m new to Rover, I have a decade of experience pet sitting for friends and caring for my own cats. I currently have two cats: a 7‑year‑old tabby I adopted at 7 weeks old, and a 4-month‑old black kitten I adopted in late May. I see pets as family members and believe all animals are part of a vulnerable population that deserves just as much care and respect. My cats are my children! I’m a lover of all animals, and if I had the means to provide excellent care, I’d absolutely have an animal sanctuary. In late November 2025, I lost my 11‑year‑old cat to aggressive GI lymphoma. Caring for him through multiple health conditions gave me invaluable experience. He had asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, a throat tumor that blocked 90% of his airway (which was successfully removed), hip dysplasia (also a successful surgery), and a luxating patella that required an ankle brace. Going through all of this taught me how important it is to be in tune with your animals; recognizing signs of distress or pain, noticing small changes in behavior or routine, respecting boundaries, and staying aware of potential toxins or safety hazards in their environment. I also have experience with: - medication management (pills, liquid meds) - basic wound care (applying ointment, bandages) - shy, anxious, and reactive cats - kittens - dog walking - following routines (feeding schedules, walks, play, downtime) - comfort with senior pets and pets with chronic conditions - knowledge of cat behavior and body language - experience with multi‑pet households - providing frequent photo updates so you always feel connected and reassured Whether they’re shy, silly, senior, or full of zoomies, I’m excited to care for them exactly how they need. And until I can open my dream animal sanctuary, I’m grateful for every pet I get to love and care for. I work full‑time, with four days a week working from home and one day a week in the office. Since I’m home most of the week, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Depending on your needs, I’m flexible during weekdays. If I’m house sitting, I can provide playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day, as long as it doesn’t overlap with my meetings. If you’re booking dog‑walking only, I’m available early mornings, midday during my lunch break, and after 5pm. My availability is open and flexible on weekends, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever your pets need. Safety and comfort are huge for me. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I want them to feel completely safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. I stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I’ll always check in with you if anything needs to shift. In your home, I’m big on keeping things clean and cozy. I scoop litter boxes 2+ times a day, wash food bowls after every use, refresh water daily, and keep the space tidy. I’m also super mindful about safety. Food, drinks, plants, hair ties, strings, and any little “oops” hazards get put away so curious paws stay out of trouble. I keep the vibe calm and gentle, and I always let pets come to me on their own terms. No forced interactions. I follow their pace, their comfort level, and their boundaries. I’m extremely careful with doors and entryways, and I’ll never assume it’s okay for any pet to be outdoors unsupervised. And when it comes to cats, I never assume it’s okay for them to be outside under any circumstance. I double‑check (sometimes triple!), and do everything I can to make sure no one sneaks out. For dog walks, I stay alert and aware of our surroundings. I’ll wait for other dogs to pass or cross the street if needed, and I keep treats on hand to encourage positive behavior and make walks fun and rewarding.

“Brittany‘s been amazing for my pup! She is very punctual and attentive to his needs. She even helps deal with his bike anxiety.”

“What a rough week of heat and smoke! Thank you for always putting Penny’s needs first! She was so happy to play in the yard with a good spray down instead of walking in the heat!”

“Sheena has been great and reliable! She walks both the dogs in the house and does them together something that can be a challenge for even me. Thank you Sheena!!”

“Caralyn was great! She asked thoughtful questions about my pup during our meet and greet. She communicated before and after picking him up and taking him for a walk and sent pictures.”

About: Although I provide pet care occasionally, I have years of hands-on experience with a variety of animals. I grew up with bunnies and hamsters, and I now have two lovable cats of my own. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ dogs—whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply keeping them company. I’m often the one friends trust when they need someone dependable and gentle to look after their pets. I take on pet-sitting when my schedule allows, especially on afternoon, evenings or weekends. I enjoy making time to care for animals—it brings me a sense of calm and joy. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, or just sitting with a shy pet until they feel safe, I always go the extra mile to keep their routine and comfort intact. I’m a clean, tidy, and organized person who pays close attention to detail. You can trust that your home and pet will be well cared for. I’m patient and calm—great with animals who need a little time to warm up or those with particular routines. I follow all instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in your absence.

About: I grew up with labs, have had dogs all the way from yorkies to huskies, and have come to love cats just as much. I have extensive experience with anxious and reactive dogs, and am able to bring a careful though and calm to lead the way for them. What You Can Expect: • Prompt, clear communication and fast response times • Consistent routine and thorough photo updates after every session • A free preliminary Meet & Greet to ensure a great fit before booking Reach out anytime—I’m looking forward to getting to know your furry family member! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to give your pets some extra energy and attention, and with a flexible schedule. I'm hoping to benefit from the opportunity to be present and moving outdoors! After having pets of my own with plenty of reasons to give us anxiety, I'm highly attentive to the smaller things. For example, keeping doors/windows outside closed, administration of medication, or even shooing them off the couch/table.

About: I work from home and love dogs and cats! However I cannot have my own at this time. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, having had both. In my free time, I used to volunteer taking dogs from a nearby shelter for walks, I find it personally just very rewarding (and great exercise)! Because I work from my home, I can be more flexible with my schedule. I live next to the Burke Gilman trail and love to take walks. I am active as a person (swimming, running, water polo) and can help get those energetic doggos get moving! Since I work from home I can manage my schedule (more flexibility) and can either walk dogs in the afternoons or evenings. Weekends can be more flexible depending on the weekend. I have a fenced yard with a great outdoor space. I also live close to the Burke Gilman trail and love walking to Matthews Beach park or Meadowbrook park. I have a car so can drive to other destinations.

“Brannon was wonderful! He filled in on short notice and even walked my neighbor’s dog with my dog Martha (she also needed a walker). He built trust with Martha quickly. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. I had two dogs as a kid and now I own an amazing German Shepard Husky mix. I love and enjoy being around dogs and puppies. I work as a catering contractor. My job is very flexible and I create my own schedule. I have lots of free time to take care of your dogs. I have a large fenced yard at my house for my dog to run around in. I am good with crates and crate training if needed.

About: I grew up raising and training animals. Have bred and trained all dog personality types. Safety, happiness, and creating a loving environment are my priorities for dog and cat care. I’m a stay at home dog mom and love dogs of all breeds and ages! I have 2 dogs myself (one rescued 10 years ago that I trained to be a service dog) and one 2 year old that I’m training to be a service dog. I have a yard and live close to a great walking trail. My two female dogs are very sweet and happy to have friends over! I can use a soft crate for your dog, take them for walks, give medication, and groom/bathe them as well. I used to be a professional animal trainer and groom so I love taking care of animals!

“Xinhui is very attentive and caring. She takes wonderful care of my dog every day, and even pays attention to small details, like making sure the room isn’t too hot by helping with the air conditioning. I feel very reassured knowing my dog is in such responsible hands.”
