Dog Walking Northwest

About: I’ve had multiple animals growing up, even birds! I currently have just a Maine Coone Kitty. I love walking/park with my little one and your furry companion would be a wonderful addition or if they just need some loving during the day! I’m currently a SAHM that loves to go to parks with my little one (6 years) and go on a 2-2.5 milk after! When we’re home, we play in our fenced yard and your furry loved one can accompany us even when we snuggle up to watch a movie! I have a fenced in yard so a dog can roam, use the bathroom and come back in. I have a baby gate to keep from roaming up stairs to the littles room but free access anywhere else.

About: Growing up, I took my childhood dog on multiple walks a day and played with him outside to keep him exercised. I also enjoyed walking dogs of family friends. I am currently in college and unemployed so my schedule is very open. I have a lot of free time to pet sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits I like to make sure pets have gotten plenty of exercise and many chances to use the bathroom. If they have a scheduled time they eat meals I will feed them then and if not I will make sure they are fed atleast 3 times a day.

About: I have taken care of family and friends animals for about 13 years. I was the primary dog sitter for a Rhodesian Ridgeback for about 10 years. I understand the importance of walking and playing with these fur babies to keep them entertained, as well as, respecting their space and comfort while their parent is away. I’m a former teacher currently on summer break interview for a new career. I am pretty available currently during the day. Weekends are often busy for me, however, with advanced notice I can be available. I am willing and able to adapt to what your pet needs when it comes to safety, trust, and environment. I completely understand the importance of routine for an animal with the less amount of stress when it comes to a new person.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and 10 years of expertise with cats, animals have always been a central part of my life. I truly love working with pets and take pride in making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, playtime, and even special care needs for puppies, seniors, or shy animals. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years because they know their pets are in great hands. I currently work part time. I’m looking to make some extra money. I have 2 pups my self. I know how difficult it is to find a good sitter. I will treat these animals as my own. I will respect all rules as I watch your sweet babies. I’m very punctual. I understand a clean area is very important for our fur babies!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for both dogs and cats alike for many years. Even though I’m new to professional pet sitting, I have plenty of experience caring for my own beloved pets and ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m reliable, patient, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I would treat every pet with the utmost care and attention they deserve while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I love spending time with them and I am accustom to caring for them through my years of growing up with them. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. With my knack for attention to detail, I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while keeping the space clean and tidy. I’m patient, attentive, and understand the importance of respecting and building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, safe, and well cared for.

“Marta and Conor were wonderful with Rosie. I really appreciated that they took her on shorter walks due to the hot weather but stayed the full time to play with her indoors and get her energy out! Their updates from each walk were so sweet to read. Thank you Marta and Conor!”

About: I have pet sat many times through my life, including puppies. I am very familiar with the puppy stage and how little sleep you get 🫣😴🥵 I have owned cats for the last ten years, including fosters. One of them was a geriatric cat, so I am familiar with administering meds to the most difficult of cats. I currently have an ex feral, so I am familiar with the patience needed to care for pets of all types. I currently work full time, so I am really only available for last minute trips or work on the weekends. I would love to be your regular day trip/weekend trip sitter! I will make sure your pet receives the type of love that they are used to receiving. I am a lover of all animals and I HATE leaving mine home alone, so I will make sure that even though they miss you, they will still know they are loved, cared for, fed, watered, and cleaned 🙂‍↔️💖

“Antonio was absolutely wonderful! He was dependable and flexible when my schedule changed which included a last minute weekend walk. He was really great with my dog, even bringing his own puppy so she would have a friend to walk with! Will definitely book again!!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and been dog sitting for 10 years. I work in a Vet hospital as well and love to care for animals of any age or size. I have been a Veterinary Assistant for 9 years but have now taken some time off so i am home everyday to ensure your pets get pleanty of love and affection and potty breaks!! I have the occasional errands to run but 90% of the time i am home! Pets are aloud on my furniture and bed! I have a fenced in backyard that your dog can play in with my crazy Boxer. Kennel trained is a must in my house as i don’t leave pets out while i am away!

About: I have experience with senior dogs, so I am comfortable with slow walks and can recognize signs of discomfort. I am extremely patient and understanding when it comes to senior dogs and their specific routines, whether they need extra breaks or gentle guidance. Puppies are absolutely no problem either! I truly love spending time with dogs of all ages and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. Since I am on summer break from UMW, my schedule is very flexible. I can accommodate mid-day walks, early morning check-ins, or overnight house sitting to ensure your pet never feels lonely Every pet's safety is my top priority. Because I care for a senior dog myself, I am naturally observant of heavy panting and signs of discomfort, especially in the summer heat. I am just as vigilant with puppies, ensuring they don't pick up anything harmful on our walks and staying consistent on their routines as well. I know how much peace of mind matters, so I make sure to follow instructions perfectly and send plenty of updates so you know your pet is safe and having a good time.

About: I had previously stated in my profile, that I was called to animals since I was a little girl. I remember walking home from school and would gain the trust of a stray cat that followed me home. Animals of all species have been a staple in my childhood and adult home until this day. I am also a registered nurse whose specialty landed in senior care. I have a natural ability to connect with the elderly and understand the stage of life they are in and the psychology that comes with it. Through this, I have also been able to be a good advocate for my patients and their families. My husband and I currently have a senior cat that has cognitive decline that I was able to pick up on, as well as my suspicion of kidney disease. Through this knowledge, and with our vet, she is thriving now through patience and dedication.to her needs. This is not easy for us. But, she is our little girl. My nursing has also been an huge benefit to better serve and care for all of my little guys. Hamsters in my home have suffered all diseases from a stroke, cancer, kidney failure and heart failure etc. All of which received the best medical attention and best dedicated care until they crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful to see how my nursing has also enhanced my ability to better serve animals as well as humans. My heart is full of unconditional love and kindness. I am grateful to be of service to any walk of life. I have currently obtained a new nursing position within my expertise in senior care, allowing me the flexibility to work remote, since my journey moving forward needs to stay dedicated to serving animals, including my own. Our motto in this house is "these are our children, regardless of the size, they will be given the best life they deserve". We do have a fully fenced yard, though we currently do not have a dog. Any animal that comes in our care, will be treated the same as we treat our own. The cats, the chinchillas, and the hamsters can mingle amongst each other in our house. They actually each have a food bowl for each species side by side in the kitchen. The house is clean, the cages are clean and the environment is safe for any animal that enters. Time, dedication, discipline, love and patience exists in this house.

About: I’ve had a cat as part of my family since I was a child, so I am very comfortable with them. I volunteered at a cat cafe and cat club where I socialised with the cats and took care of them. While I have never personally owned a dog, my sister has two, so I have some experience with handling dogs. I am focusing on bettering myself and am out of school, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! During the week is preferable, but any time works. I will change my approach depending on the personality of your specific pet. For example, my cat is very shy and afraid of other people, but she likes having company, so I will sit by her while she hides.

About: I've loved dogs and cats my whole life and I have a good reproir with them. As a Rover sitter, I think it is important to give them lots of love and attention, and to keep them safe. A good sitter always keeps in mind how important people's pets are to them, and should make them feel at ease while they are away, and confident that thier babies are in good hands by communicating with them regularly and meeting all of thier needs. I have many repeating clients, and thier pets have become like family members to me over the years. We are always happy to see each other, but also sad when it's time to leave. My most cherished achievement was when I trained my friend's Dotson (Titus) with a fun snack-training system and prepared him for the dog Olympics tournament in Ohio, in which he came first place. I taught Titus to jump and spin, dance and roll-over and etc by directing his motions with the snack and repeating the commands until the snacks were no longer necessary. I used three brands of treats: Bronze treats (hard food); silver treats (soft dog snacks); and gold treats (a piece of white meat. It took a lot of repetition and patience, but after a couple of months, he became the most clever and talented dog i've ever trained. I also taught him to sing "Walk Like A Man" by The 4 Seasons. I work part-time in the early evening at Bach To Rock, which makes it easy to feed the dogs in the morning and at night. I also get gaps in my teaching schedule which allows me to drop in and take them for a walk or let them out if necessary. I also substitute teach which allows me to make my own schedule and that makes it easier for me to spend plenty of time taking care of people's pets when I have bookings. My other job is very close by so commuting is convenient as well. The safety and well-being of the pets is my top priority. Their emotional well-being is important too. Dogs get anxious and even depressed when their owners leave so it's my job to keep them comfortable and entertained. When I'm staying at a client's house, I make sure to keep doors shut and stay mindful when going in and out so they don't run out or get into anything they're not supposed to. I always make sure to ask about the layout of the house and the backyard, so they cant run off. When I'm walking them, I avoid stopping and talking with other people who are walking their pets, and I always make sure I know how their leash or harness goes on so they don't slip out of it. And then if they take meds, I set an alarm on my phone with a reminder note.
