SLU Wag 'n Walk: Pup Paradise!

Pet care experience

What truly distinguishes us in the sea of sitters is our unparalleled combination of location, amenities, and personalized attention. Located in the heart of South Lake Union (SLU), we offer not just a space, but a full canine experience. While most sitters offer standard walks, we tailor the distance and pace to your dog's individual ability, ensuring both their physical and mental stimulation. Unique to us is the option for Amazon-registered dogs to accompany us to the office, diversifying their environment and social circle. And let's not forget our air-conditioned downtown apartment, making even the fluffiest husky feel right at home. Choose us and elevate your dog's sitting experience from ordinary to extraordinary.

A typical day

Weekends: Morning: Your dog's weekend starts with an early morning outing. We spend at least an hour outdoors exploring the South Lake Union area, covering anywhere from 2-5 miles. Afterwards, we return to our air-conditioned home for a bit of relaxation and perhaps some indoor playtime, depending on your dog's mood. Afternoon: After a well-deserved rest, we head out again typically getting lunch somewhere downtown at a dog friendly restaurant. After that, we typically do some sort of activity such as exploring Downtown/Ballard/U district, going for a hike, or some dog friendly outdoor exploration. Evening: Back at home, it's dinner time and a chill session, allowing your dog to unwind after a day full of activities. Night: A final, brief walk ensures your dog is comfortable and ready to call it a night. Weekdays: Morning: A brisk morning walk around South Lake Union sets the tone for the day, offering your dog fresh air and exercise. Mid-Morning to Early Afternoon (Tue-Thu): Unless your dog is Amazon-registered, they will be left at home but taken out briefly around lunchtime for some outdoor relief. For Amazon-Registered Dogs: These lucky pups accompany us to the Amazon office, enjoying a change of environment and social interactions. Evening: The second outing of the day occurs, rounding out the 2-mile weekday walk. After dinner, your dog has time to relax in our cool, cozy living space. Night: A last quick trip outside ensures your dog is settled and comfortable before bedtime. With our structured yet flexible routine, your dog will enjoy a perfect blend of activity and downtime, whether it's a weekday or weekend.
