Dog Walking Opportunity

“Milo has been amazing since day one with my puppy, Jett. She is always reliable and consistently communicates if there is ever anything concerning during her visits or if she is unable to make a scheduled time.”

About: I’ve had dogs around me my whole life; from active labs to precocious cocker spaniels to mutts with needs, I’m happy to provide the care your pets need while you’re away. I’m flexible with all play styles and feeding habits, all while staying firm against begging for food we can’t have and keeping a close eye on problem behaviors such as digging or pillow ripping. I love all kinds of dogs, from hyperactive to couch potatoes, malamutes to chihuahuas, puppies to senior dogs. I’ll be sure to keep your fluffy friends entertained and well kept while you’re away! As for walking, I always strive to make sure your four legged friend has their share of exercise and fresh air. My time is currently open to weekdays from 6 am to 11 pm. I’m happy to check on your pets multiple times a day to keep up with their schedules, and am happy to follow plans as needed. I do my best to follow any instructions provided for your pet. I’m happy to play, take pets outside into yards or for walks in the neighborhood to get their energy out, feed them on their schedules, and visit multiple times a day to keep your pet happy and entertained. I have a preference for crate trained dogs, but for those more well-behaved, I have no qualms. As for cats, I’m happy to keep quiet and leave them to their own pace, letting myself be available to them while not invading their space.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats, including my own, for as long as I can remember. I have trained my pets as well as other's in basic obedience. I like to study dog psychology and I have a bachelor's degree in psychology. I've taken care of all kinds of dogs from tiny-huge and fearful-calm temperaments. My favorite breeds to care for are large breeds, most specifically breeds like pitties, mastiffs, and dobermans, but I love all dog breeds too and love how every dog has their own unique personality. I've also cared for cats doing volunteer work and have 2 of my own. I'm currently available anytime of the week all year besides the few times per year that I travel. I am working to potentially have a career with dogs. For care in the client's home, I will do whatever is instructed to me to be done for the pet. I am good at reading dog body language and understanding their needs. I've cared for fearful/avoidant dogs and hyper/clingy dogs alike. I am not able to provide care in my own home since I live with family and own 2 rescue cats.

“Lifesaver! I’m so glad I found Vanessa, I would absolutely recommend to take care of your fur baby. Vanessa has taken care of my little man multiple times and helped me out last minute which I’m super appreciative for.”

About: I LOVE animals! I’ve grown up with cats since I was 5 years old, and have had dogs for about 4 years now. I am very comfortable with both, and I love to build relationships and trust with the animals I care for. I have been watching animals including cats, dogs big and small, as well as horses for friends and family for about 3 years now alongside my current job. I have the most experience with cats, and German Shepherds and other big dogs. I am also experienced with senior cat and dog care, including giving medicine and physically assisting larger dogs when needed. I also love to spend time playing with animals, getting to know them and their personalities, and helping them to feel comfortable and safe! I currently work M-F at an elementary school and have online classes for graduate school on Monday and Tuesday evenings. I am available for house sitting though the week, but due to my work I am unable to give potty breaks from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends and my calendar will be updated accordingly. I pride myself in building trust and relationships with the animals I care for. I love to engage with animals and play with them, as well as make sure that they are comfortable and feel safe with me in their environment. I am able to help them physically if needed, and administer medication to ensure their health and safety. I also love being around animals - I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you are gone!!

About: From human babies to cats, bearded dragons and beyond, I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I've always loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and reptiles. Caring for your furry (and not so furry!) loved ones brings me lots of joy and is how I wish I could spend every day. I'm eager to please and find I'm available for daily drop ins for potty and feedings, or spending more time with your pet in the evenings while you work late. Also available for overnights up to a week, staying in your home so your animal is most comfy! I love taking relaxing walks and playing fetch, or playing in your fenced yard enjoying the warm weather. I can administer pills and monitor health conditions, and can provide physical assistance for small dogs and cats with mobility issues, like getting up and down furniture. I'm open and eager to learn administering other medication types if you are comfortable teaching! Anxious and shy pets warm to me easily, and so do senior dogs and cats! I have open availability during the summer months as I work for the school district. I want to spend my time loving and caring for your pet/s, so please let me know what your needs are and I'll do everything I can to make it work! After summer, I work part-time during the day, so I can stop by mid-morning to let dogs out to potty and play, and my evenings/weekends are open. I want to be best friends with your pet, so knowing their favorite treats and keeping their routine consistent is important to me. I promise to care for your baby like my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and I always strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs. I’ve also administered medications to my own dogs when needed and always follow care instructions carefully. Beyond caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs while they were away. I also rescued one of my own dogs, which gave me experience helping an adult dog adjust to a new home, build confidence, and replace unwanted habits with positive behaviors through patience and consistent training. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your dog prefers a relaxing walk or an active adventure, I’ll tailor their care to their individual needs while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available most days for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. If I’m providing house sitting, I just ask for about two hours each day to care for and exercise my own dogs while my husband is at work. Outside of that, I’m committed to following your pet’s normal routine and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or house sitting, I’ll provide attentive, compassionate care while doing my best to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’d also be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: My wife, Audri, and I are lifelong animal lovers with experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Audri grew up with Huskies, Malamutes, cats, rabbits, and birds, while I grew up with countless dogs and cats, as well as goats and even a pet rat. Animals have always been a central part of our lives, and our long-term dream is to have enough land to rescue and care for even more of them. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets and home. We regularly use pet and house sitters and know the peace of mind that comes from receiving updates while you're away. When your pets are in our care, you can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos. Our current furry family includes three cats, two rabbits, and two spunky Pomskies. We believe pets are family and take pride in providing attentive, loving care tailored to each animal's needs. From energetic dogs to shy cats and small animals, we're comfortable caring for a variety of personalities and routines. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! I (Haley) primarily do the pet-sitting and Audri helps out when she is around. I am around full time to provide care for your animals. We have a handful of critters at home that also require my attention so best case scenario, your pups get along with ours so we can all hang out. When caring for your pets in your home, we will treat both your animals and your space with the same respect and attention that we give our own. We're a "shoes off at the door" kind of family, and we believe that the little details matter—from keeping food and water areas clean to paying close attention to your pet's behavior, appetite, energy level, and bathroom habits. As pet owners ourselves, we know that changes in routine can sometimes be the first sign that something isn't quite right. If we notice anything unusual, we'll communicate with you promptly so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My wife, Audri, is a nurse and is experienced in administering medications and caring for pets with special health needs. Whether your pet requires medication, extra patience, or a customized routine, we're committed to following your instructions carefully and providing attentive, compassionate care. Our goal is simple: to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while you feel confident knowing they're in good hands.

About: I have owned and loved on numerous dogs my entire life. I can never remember a time when I didn't have a tail waggin', face lickin', life long companion. No special skills here, just a heart that overflows for all dogs. I am a newly retired school district worker. My true passion has always been in taking care of animals. I don't really travel and what a better way to spend my days I have a huge fenced yard and a walking trail right behind my house that I use on a regular basis. Your furry friend will be allowed to roam wherever and sleeping on the furniture will never be a problem.

“Did an incredible job making sure Theo was behaving and heeling on the walk.”

I spend a lot of time learning how to train dogs and how to take care of a wide variety of pets including cats I’m currently working part time in a fellowship, I’m busy Monday’s and Wednesdays but the rest of the week my schedule is free. Occasionally some events will come up but they never occupy the whole day When taking care of pets in your home I make sure to watch them whenever they are outside, Inside I like to keep track of them making sure they’re not getting in trouble. On walks I am very aware of my surroundings or anything that might be harmful to your pet

About: New to the area and looking for new babies to take care of! I’ve been pet sitting for a decade now and have a lot of experience with animals of all different ages, shapes, sizes, and needs. Currently I am not offering any house sitting or boarding in your home or mine, due to being new to the area and not having a set schedule or routine yet. I am available for walks and drop ins if you are leaving town or just need somebody to come by. I will be offering weekly services once I get settled! My schedule is not set in stone yet but I’m available for dog walking and drop ins and of course any cat care. Once I get into a routine I will be available for more! I will not be providing any services in my own home but in your home I will be able to cater to you and your pets needs. Walking, playing, feeding, etc!

“My Shih Tzu absolutely loved Velma. He'd get so excited to see her he'd squeal. I had a foot injury and really appreciated that Velma always showed up on time and told me if my dog pooped, was scared by a cat or large dog or other things they encountered on their walk, like deer. She took really good care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to others.”

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was in early high school and I was beyond thrilled every time my friends, neighbors, or family would entrust me with caring for their furry family member. As a lifetime dog owner and pet lover, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you know will take good care of them. With my lifetime of experience, ranging from puppies to elderly dogs, I can guarantee that your dog will be cared for with the love and diligence they deserve! I'm currently a graduate student working in my summer internship. I have a lot of availability Wednesdays-Sunday but am working on Mondays and Tuesdays. On the days I am available, I am dedicated to giving your pet the highest quality of care. When at your home, I will adhere to all of your instructions and the needs of your pet. I know how important routine can be for a pet, so I will follow that routine to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while they have a stranger visiting their home. Whatever your pets needs are, I will fulfill them!

About: Hi! Over the years I have proudly fostered independently and through Haus of Dogs, Operation Foster, Seattle Area Feline Rescue and Paws and Claws. I am currently a volunteer at SCRAPS. I can provide excellent references and I have experience with senior pets and pets on meds and supplements. I will be sure to make your animal feel loved and cared for. I know it's hard for them and hard for you to be away from them, so never hesitate to text or facetime. I will make sure your pets don't feel alone or abandoned, and that they get exercise, affection, and plenty of food, water, treats, pets, play time, and outdoor time. I understand how important it is to the well being of anyone to get those needs met. Can't wait to meet you! I usually work from home and never work long days away from home.

About: I worked in dog grooming for a decade, and I do miss the dogs, often. I will be happy to help regardless of breed or size. I have open availability in my schedule. I work with many different service partners, and can easily adjust my schedule, with proper notice, of course. Dogs will be played with, of course! I will run them, depending on age and whether they like that. Feed them, walk them. Cats will get nozzles and pets
