Dog Walking Northwest

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!

“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’ve taught middle school for 10 years, so if I can handle that, your lovely pet(s) will not be a problem at all. I absolutely adore dogs, cats, and animals in general. I’m a quick learner, I always have safety in mind, and I have an incredible amount of patience and energy! It would be a pleasure to hang out with your pet! As a former teacher who’s decided to make a shift into a slower lifestyle, I am 100% dedicated to Rover at this time. I am organized and responsible, and I have excellent time management skills. I will be prompt and attentive to the needs of your pet(s). I look forward to spending time with your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for 5 years now, and I’m always attentive and loving, essentially how I would want people to be with my pets. I have two perfect cats that I love and spoil. My boys, Milo and Murphy, are getting up in age, but I’m proud to say I’ve been a consistent and caring cat mom throughout their lives and will continue to do so. I’ll be sure to treat your pet(s) as I do my own. I aim to be patient and kind in everything I do, so the well-being and safety of your pet(s) will be no exception.

About: I own a dog and two cats myself, and I've always adored animals. As a pet owner, I will care for your pets as if they were my own. It takes a lot of trust to place your pets in someone else's care, and I take the responsibility of making sure they are safe and well cared for seriously. I know what it feels like to take a trip or be at work and worry about whether your companions are comfortable and receiving enough attention and love. I hope to be able to put your mind at ease - our pets are a part of our families, and they deserve to be treated and cared for as such. I'm currently enrolled in an online graduate school program, so my schedule is flexible and I'm available most days and times! Let me know what works best for you. I can follow any guidelines you set regarding the care of your dogs or cats. I have no problem following a set schedule for walking and feeding, of course, with ample playtime included. If your dog or cat loves affection, I offer unlimited cuddle time and also have a great arm if they enjoy playing fetch or frisbee. For pets with specific dietary needs, I am happy to follow your instructions regarding mealtime.

“Norah is always so excited to walk my dog, it makes me trust her even more than I already do because she does a great job! She’s also very patient with me asking for walks last minute, and so far has always been available!”

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.

“Tiffany has been a lifesaver and a treasure for our family! We got a new (90lbs now) puppy this summer and she comes and walks him twice a week while we are at work. She plays with him, gives him a long from the freezer, makes sure he has fresh water, and even goes above and beyond to bring in a package if it’s on the porch. Over the holiday we needed someone in the evening while we went to Busch Gardens and she came right over. She is so flexible if we ever need to switch days last minute or want to add a day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!”

About: Hi, I’m Autumn! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Friends and family have always used me as their go to person that they trust with their animals. I also have a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand their different personalities. I know every pet has their own personality and I love getting to know what makes each one unique. I work at a local bakery full time from 7am to 3pm, so I’m regularly available in the afternoons, evenings, and all day Mondays and Tuesdays. With a little advance notice I can often be flexible outside of those hours as well. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable as possible for the both of you. When you trust me with your pet you can expect lots of photo updates and someone who will truly love and care for them as if they were my own. I also understand the importance of treating every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for mine.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child! I take the time to understand every dogs needs. No matter how big or small your babies are I will always make sure they are filled with love! I’m currently working part time during the day but my schedule is very flexible! I can easily work around your time and needs. I’m also available almost every weekend. I have a large fenced yard and always make sure to give positive stimulation to my animals. No matter the energy level I’ll make sure their needs are met!

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 🙂‍↔️💖

“We love Stephanie. We provides with report cards and she loves our dogs. We are so glad we found her. Thank you Stephanie ❤️”

About: I’ve had my dog, Teddy, since I was about 7, and he’s a big bundle of fur. I’ve taken care of various cats/dogs for friends, neighbors, and family throughout the years. If your dog requires extra exercise, I am a college athlete who is happy to go on runs with them, as well as taking them to parks, etc. for extra playtime. If you have any specific requests, feel free to ask! During the summer, I’m free most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. I often have practice in the evenings, but other than that, I’m mostly free I’m happy to chill all day with you pets or exercise them multiple times a day depending on what they need. I have a dog and a cat myself (I live with my parents so taking care of them at the same time isn’t a concern), and know how to give animals LOTS of attention :)

“Antonio is great with Sebastian! He puts his coat on him in cold/rainy weather, brings him treats, and takes wonderful photos of Sebbie on their walks. Sebastian definitely enjoys his company!”

About: I have had many pets while growing up including cats and dogs! My current fur baby is a corgi beagle who’s getting older so i do have experience with older dogs. I’m currently working part time at a gym so i have very flexible hours! I also love walking for my own personal exercise so getting to have a lil fur baby buddy to keep me company is amazing! My condo does not allow pets so i will only be able to watch your fur baby at your place. I’m hoping to take them on nice walks length of walk of course depending on the pets physical ability

“So quick, responsive, and helpful! My pup was so happy!”

About: Hi!👋🏼 I'm Jenna! Animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. Rescue animals will always have a special place in my heart, but at the end of the day, I truly love all animals and treat every pet like family! When I moved away to college, I was alone for only 2 months, and realized I couldn't imagine life without a furry companion and that’s where Carrot came into my life and made me a FurMom! During college, I also fostered dogs and cats, helping them prepare for their forever homes. My older sister previously worked at both an Animal Hospital and PetSmart, and she's taught me so much about pet care, behavior, and recognizing when something isn't quite right. I know every pet is unique, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give Carrot. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 💛 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with the same love and care I give my own. ** IMPORTANT * I will ask for your document verification of ALL UP TO DATE VACCINES and they MUST be on a flea, tick, and heart-worm preventive ** Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed). I also respect your home and your pet's unique preferences, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

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.

“Bailey looked forward to her walks. Casey always kept in touch with me.”

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.
