Dog Walking Northwood

“Alexys is amazing with my dog, she’s very punctual and through and gives my pup so much love and she enjoys all her walks with her! Highly recommended:)”

“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”

“Troy is awesome. He was very flexible and accepting of our dogs' needs and ours. He is clearly very passionate about spending his time with animals and loves dogs. We will continue to use him for regular, ongoing walks.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had pets as part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience raising and training reactive dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and creating a calm, positive environment. I'm comfortable adapting to each pet's unique personality and needs, whether they love adventure, prefer a quiet routine, or need a little extra understanding. When your pet is in my care, you can feel confident they're being treated like one of my own. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while following your instructions and routines closely. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute bookings whenever possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walks, allowing your pet to stay in the familiar environment of their own home while maintaining their normal routine. During every visit, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals (if requested), and lots of care and affection. I currently do not offer pet boarding or doggy daycare because I have a reactive dog at home, and I want to ensure the safest and least stressful experience for all pets involved. You can count on me to treat your home with respect, follow your care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind while you're away.

“It has been really fun to work with Makenzie. Boris can be really shy with strangers, however, Makenzie was able to quickly become friends with him. She is attentive to details, timely, and easy to work with. We look forward to work with her for future dog walks.”

About: I’ve had my own pets my entire life. My first cat, I got when I was three years old and she lived until she was 26. I have years of experience in Montana as a pet sitter. I just moved to Bellingham! I am currently taking courses online to get my EMT, and can work from anywhere! My animals are extremely self-sufficient. Since my animals can be left alone for longer periods of time, I can be there for yours more! I am extremely attentive to animals. Constantly snuggling, giving scratches, taking them on walks. And I can keep to a strict feeding schedule! There will never be a lack of love!

About: I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for, just like they would with you. I’m reliable, responsible, and love sending picture updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already set aside time each day for walks, play, and feeding, and I enjoy being outdoors and active. I make sure to plan my schedule so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it blends seamlessly into both my daily and weekly routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for pets just as they would, keeping to established schedules, maintaining a familiar environment, and giving them lots of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, secure, and loved while their owners are away

“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, and I will love your pets as I loved mine. I had two dogs and two cats, and loved them with all of my heart. I love walks and exercise and will make sure that your pet will be healthy and happy. I am in a home with no other animals, and will make sure that your pet gets all of the attention he or she needs. Animals and pets are part of your family and should be treated as such! I've always believed that pets are angels that have been sent to support and love us, and that love should be returned back. I can not wait to meet your lovely pets! I am a grad student completing school mostly remotely. I will go into the university once a week, but have time and flexibility to care for pets as I am home often. I will make sure your pets are loved, fed, have plenty of water and feel safe and comfortable. Pets are family members, and deserve the best care.

About: I grew up working on a farm! Not only am I familiar with training puppies and caring for cats, I also know my way around a barn. I have time in the early mornings and evenings to visit your pets! I am also able to house sit and provide daily exercise to any extent you need! I love to go on walks and adventuring in parks. But I also love just sitting on the couch with a dog or cat :) I am flexible and ready to meet whatever your pet needs!

“Our new-to-us 12 1/2 year old Havanese rescue did very well with Michael’s care during our first afternoon outing since we adopted him. We have already scheduled another longer stay next month. We really appreciate all the dog friendly security and thoughtful enrichment activities Michael provides. Charlie was the better for the experience! Highly recommended.”

“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”
