Dog Walking Northwest

“Germaine has been walking our Luna three times a week for many months. Luna loves her time with Germaine, waiting for her by the door, even on the weekends! Germaine has been incredibly responsible and as well communicates extremely well. She has been proactive in minding her schedule and the holiday schedule. We are very satisfied to have utilized Germaine's time with our loved pup!”

About: Hi! My name is Jace. I work full time from home in a professional role, which allows me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care while pet and house sitting. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big decision. My goal is to make sure your pets stay comfortable in their normal environment while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and am happy to work with diverse pet needs including feeding schedules, medications, puppy/senior care, walks/runs, playtime, and always include daily updates. I am an outdoors lover, and like when I am camping, I strive to leave a pet happier and a home cleaner than I found them. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful. I work from home for a large financial institution and have the ability to bring my work laptop to anywhere there is a reliable WiFi connection. Pets bring joy and happiness to a meeting and email filled day. When I started my own pet care business, I wanted to create an experience that made owners feel like I was taking care of their pets as my own. I hope to bring this same level of comfort to you and your family when I provide my services.

About: I have walked and boarded dogs for 10 years. I am new to Rover. I love taking dogs for walks and getting them some exercise and enrichment. I work 9-5, with time for walks during lunch, before work, and in the evenings. Weekends can include up to three walks a day, including longer walks. At home, or with clients, dogs get a good watchful eye to ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. With an adventurous pup of my own, I am careful to remove any “escape opportunities”

“Really sweet and caring girl! I really appreciate the time she took with my shy dog to warm up to her! I totally recommend her services! She’s taking care of my dogs weekly and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

“Caitlynn was doing walks/drop in visits with my dog when I was out of town. She is very responsive and I know my dog is in good hands with her. This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to do so!”

About: Hello, my name is Atticus! I worked at a doggy daycare for over a year, have been pet and house sitting for neighbors and friends for over 3 years, actively volunteer at a cat shelter since 2017, and have been walking dogs since I was a kid. I have 5 pets (one dog, three cats, and one snake) of my own, making me well versed in caring for a variety of animals. I work a sporadically scheduled contracted job 1 to 3 Saturdays a month that I'm very committed to. However, these jobs have never gotten in the way of my care towards my own animals and the animals I have pet sat for. I don't pet sit in my own home, as I can't be sure that my animals will 100% get along with a client's animal. I have slept over in guest rooms of the houses I have spent over night in, as well as having only been in the house with the pets during the day, all per the client's request. Whatever one's house looks like or whatever features one's house may have, I am always sure to respect boundaries, clean up after myself, and make sure the house is left looking better than when I arrived.

“Wendy is the best! Always on time so very reliable. I love that she sends me photos of my dog while out on a walk. Best of all - my dog loves her so it gives me great peace of mind that he’s in good hands with her.”

About: Ive been a full time dog mom for 13 years. I’ve recently let go of my senior dog and would love to pour that love into your pup! I have experience with medically complex dogs, so I’m happy to dispense medications or give some extra TLC to dogs that need it! I have an open and flexible schedule! I’m available for dog walking mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I also have an open schedule for dog sitting in your home. I’m a very attentive pet sitter. If you’d like me to go over some basic training and commands with your dog, I’m happy to do that as well. I’ll give you pet all the love they can tolerate, but will also give them space if that’s what they prefer. I’m so excited to meet and spend some quality time with your little critter!

About: I work from home, and am able to provide lots of love and attention to your pup! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard. Our small poodle mix loves to socialize and play with other dogs. I work from home, so I’m always home! I have availability for multiple daily walks and playtime. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times. I have a fully fenced back yard. There is also a large park to walk in (leashed) in my neighborhood. I can meet any feeding needs or special instructions.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for over 10 years. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, parrots, fish, and even ducks. I care for each animal as if it were my own, and prioritize not only their physical health but also their emotional! Animals are deeply emotional and are affected when their parents go away, so I promise to provide excellent care of your fur babies. Rest assured you have a reliable and loving person that you can trust. I work full time during the week, but that doesn’t stop me from taking excellent care of your pets. They will be seen at a minimum of 3 times per day, if not more. I like to see them before work, during lunch, and when I get off. I prefer to stay overnight to make sure they’re okay. If they need more attention, I can certainly accommodate! My job has the flexibility of letting me work from home if needed. We prefer to let Koda free roam around the house. We don’t have a fenced in backyard but are always taking her out on the leash. She is lower energy for a Doodle and easily bored, so we make sure to give her toys and treats! She loves watching kids movies too so we make sure to have those on while we’re not home. Whether your pup is at my house or yours, they will go out at a minimum of 3 times daily. If they need to be crated or separated from my Koda, we can make that happen too! I will adjust anything in my schedule or routine to accommodate your fur baby. ❤️ We allow dogs on the couch and bed because we love snuggling!

“Very satisfied. My dog looked happy in all the pics that were sent.”

About: I've had dogs all my life and im always the one who gets put on puppy duty when we get one. When I lived in ohio I was a daytime/overnight dog sitter for many different people. I would watch their dogs for oay and if they had cats that was just a bonus for me free of charge because I just live them. Im.now looking to get back into dog sitting and dog walking. Im currently unemployed and would like to do this as much as possible so I have very open unavailability. Im also ok with working weekends. Im always with the animals if the animals allow it of course, I will always strive to give the best care to each animals and suit their needs.

“Great with my doggo :) very caring for him very much appreciated”

About: I have always had animals in my life. Cats, dogs, birds. I have cared for small and large breeds. Raised Rottweilers and our latest rescue is a Pitbull Mastiff mix from Boise Bully Breed. I have cared for pets with special needs also enjoy senior pets. I work part time from home with a very flexible schedule, just need a couple hours a week on my laptop. Available for day and night walks. Over nights work for me as well. Our 3 dogs and 1 cat are all very spoiled. The dogs are seniors so their exercise is always age appropriate. When we have foster pups they all step up for quiet play. Whenever I care for others pets I always want to specialize the care for what works best for the animal. I know my own pets are use to their routines and I think it's important to maintain those as pets can often get anxious when moms and dads are gone.

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. When I was a kid I used to be told not to pet certain animals because they were deemed “unfriendly”, most of them time people were shocked when their animal would warm up to me after making such a statement. Animals are much more intelligent and empathetic than some people give them credit for. Give me a choice between a room full of humans or a room full of animals, and I’ll take the room full of animals every time. I started pet setting when I was 12 and I’ve been doing it on and off ever since. I used to have a dog, sadly he passed from heart failure and I’ve just barely gotten to the point where I’m thinking about getting another. I miss his energy and miss taking him on hikes and long walks. Getting up early is not a problem for me. I live right by the greenbelt so we will be going on lots of walks! At the moment my schedule is very open. I have 2 cats who love dogs, but I know not all dogs love cats. I am more than willing to come over and dog sit and even bring you pup In during the times I’m there as long as your pup likes cats, otherwise me walking your pup and boarding at your house would be better suited for all parties involved.

“The best person for my dogs!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience as an emergency vet tech. In addition to that have been a caring pet owner all of my adult life. Since becoming a human physical therapist I also got certified in canine physical therapy. We recently moved to Boise and I am currently working part time. I have time in the early morning and midday for longer walks and drop in visits. I love walking/light jogging. Seeing a dog enjoying a walk makes me so happy! Reducing a pets stress when their owner is out of town is important!

About: I’ve grown up with many pets and have such a heart for them! I am very active whether it’s walking or hiking and I would love to get your pets some exercise while i’m at it! I especially love dogs and can keep them company, stop by to feed them, and am very flexible to complete any other needs :) I am graduating high school and only have two classes leaving me with plenty of free time. Ilove to be active and making animals happy makes me happy :) I feel that socializing dogs and caring for them is very important and I would love to help with that! Pet safety is also very important to me. I understand that all pets are different with unique personalities and backgrounds. I make it my priority to focus on what your pet is most comfortable with and never putting myself or your pet in an unsafe environment. I have overflowing empathy for pets and will constantly put them first when working with them!

About: I've trained several dogs and have loved every minute of it! Dogs are incredible creatures and I will treat yours with utmost respect and love! Just as you would! I hope I can make your dog have as good of a time as I will be having!! I find dogs fascinating, learning more about their behavior while having fun with them at my side sounds just like a dream come true!

“Kalli is wonderful. She has been great with my mini Aussie Border Collie mix. She communicates well, bonds quickly with the animals, and is very knowledgeable. 🐶🐱🚶🏻‍♂️”
