Dog Walking Portage Bay

“Elizabeth is AWESOME! She always goes above and beyond in the care and attention she gives to my pup, Finley. She is an excellent communicator, consistent, and kind. I can rest easy knowing Finley is getting what she needs with someone I trust!”

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends and family — so I bring genuine, hands-on experience to every booking, not just enthusiasm. I'm equally at home with a slow, sniff-heavy stroll with a senior dog as I am with an energetic pup who needs a real workout along the Burke-Gilman. I love cats and miss having one so would love to care for yours meantime. I'm comfortable administering medications and managing special needs, and I take the time to learn each animal's individual routine, quirks, and preferences before we ever head out the door. You'll get photo updates, honest communication, and a caretaker who is calm when it counts, structured when your pet needs it, and genuinely flexible around your schedule. Your pet is in good hands — and you'll know it. My work-from-home schedule gives me genuine flexibility that most walkers can't offer — I'm available most weekdays after 10am and can often accommodate same-week requests. Midday walks are my sweet spot, but I'm equally happy doing weekend adventures or overnight house sitting when you're out of town. If your pup needs an extra-long outing or your cat just wants some unhurried company, I have the time to give it. I can't host pets at my place, but honestly? That just means I show up to yours fully present and unhurried. I've been the trusted go-to for friends' and family's pets for decades — it's just always been my thing. Your pet's safety and comfort is my first priority on every single outing. I keep dogs securely leashed at all times, stay off high-traffic streets, and always match the route and pace to your pet's energy level and physical needs. I'm calm under pressure, attentive to body language, and know when a dog needs to slow down, take a break, or just sit and watch the ducks on Portage Bay for a minute. Cats get genuine attention, not a quick scoop-and-dash. Your home is treated with total respect and you'll always get a real update — photos, notes, the good stuff.

About: I learned how to care for dogs when I found my soul pup as a 19 year old college sophomore. I researched high and low, consulted with any and every dog expert I could get ahold of, and have since tried every single day to give my baby the best life he deserves. That’s the level of passion and care I bring to pet sitting. I truly understand how important our pets are, from setting routines with them to managing their healthcare, to training and (they might say most importantly) playtime. 😉 When it comes to dog walking, sitting, training, or just a midday check in & fetch, I’d love to help you live your life comfortably knowing your pet is in the best hands. I currently work part-time as a barista and part-time as a remote social media assistant so my schedule is incredibly flexible. This gives me ample time to support you and your pet’s schedule, providing care when you need it! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in a very walkable neighborhood with multiple parks nearby. My dog is incredibly friendly (we used to live with two other dogs) and he loves to have play dates or sleepovers with fellow furry friends. If your pup ever needs a friend, he’s here :) If you’d like in-home care for your pet, I’m happy to do so as well! In these cases, my partner takes care of our dog at our home and does not need to come along.

“Clara is great! Super responsive, punctual and professional. I really appreciate her updates and flexibility. Will absolutely book again.”

“We are so lucky to have found Biancana on Rover! She was amazing and so sweet with our Clancy. She texted us upon her arrival and departure and texted pictures during their outdoor walk adventure. She is sweet, caring and very attentative to our needs/desires for our dog. We will most surely be using her again and recommend her as an A++++ for your needs! We simply can’t thank you enough, Biancana! ~ Clancy, Anna and Grant”

“Today was our first walk with Sebastian, and everything went well. Sebastian is professional, courteous, and reliable. My dog is thrilled to have a new friend.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I grew up with cats and small animals, including gerbils, guinea pigs, and hamsters, and I also helped care for my sister’s dog when he was a puppy, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy, playful dogs and understand the patience and consistency puppies need while they’re learning and growing. My senior cat recently passed away from old age and kidney disease, which gave me extensive experience administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and providing extra care and comfort to pets with special needs. I bring that same level of attentiveness and care to every animal I look after. I’m very active, love dogs, and enjoy being outdoors—so long walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely enjoy providing. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a relaxed companion, or a senior needing extra support, I’ll adjust to their personality and routine so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Born and raised in Seattle’s Central District, I know the city well and understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable. I will always treat your dog like part of my own family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home as a Program Manager at a nonprofit that helps people with disabilities find employment, so I have a flexible schedule throughout the day. My work is computer-based, which means I can easily adjust my day around pet care needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and companionship breaks. If your pet needs company during the day, I’m also able to work from your home since I only need my laptop to do my job. This allows me to provide consistent presence, attention, and supervision for pets who do best with someone around. Overall, my flexible remote work setup makes it easy for me to integrate pet care into my routine and ensure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and not left alone for long periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions, and any specific behavioral or medical needs. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I am very clean, tidy, and respectful in other people’s homes, and I always treat each space with care and consideration. I understand I am a guest in your home and make sure to leave everything as I found it. I am very attentive to safety during walks and outdoor time, always using secure leashes and staying aware of surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I also make sure doors, gates, and entry points are properly secured in the home so pets cannot accidentally get out. If a pet needs medication or has special care requirements, I am experienced and comfortable following detailed instructions and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Most importantly, I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone for too long.

About: I've been watching friends and neighbors pets casually for the past 5 years or so. This includes dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. I have the most experience with cats--feeding them medicine, special foods, scooping liter boxes of all shapes and sizes, and dialing in on their favorite toys. I have experience caring for dogs (walks, feeding, belly rubs, poop wrangling) but if the dog is high stress or has behavioral issues it would be best to go with a more experienced dog person--want to be transparent about that, it's best for everyone. I have a flexible 9-5 work schedule and can pop in to visit pets in the Eastlake neighborhood Tuesday-Fridays. My weekends are also quite flexible to visit pets or stay overnight with pets in North Capitol Hill. I closely follow the rules and guidelines set up by the pet owners when I care for an animal. The safety and comfort of the pet is my utmost concern. I love animals and I want them to feel that they are in the care of a trustworthy person while their people are away. I am happy to communicate with pet owners and much as needed.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, caring for them daily—feeding, playing, and learning to understand their unique personalities. My Chihuahua gave birth to 5 adorable puppies 2 years ago, and I took on the full responsibility of raising and training them. From nighttime feedings to early socialization and basic commands, I experienced firsthand what it takes to care for pets with patience, love, and consistency. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior pet, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, safety, and attention to detail. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member and keep you updated with photos, videos, and tail-wagging stories while you’re away! My schedule allows pet sitting before 7:30 AM and after 6:00 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends for extra attention, playtime and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow their usual routine to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I respect the home, provide regular updates, and make sure everything is clean and secure when I leave. Whether it’s feeding, play, litter box cleaning, or medication, I’m thorough and reliable in all aspects of care.

About: I've been caring for cats of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and provide loving companionship for their pets. I'm attentive to routines, comfortable administering basic medications, and patient with dogs and cats. I believe every animal deserves gentle, consistent and compassionate care. I maintain a flexible and reliable schedule and plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention. I'm available for weekday and weekend bookings, including drop-ins, walks, and boarding. I prioritize quality time, exercise, and structured routines so your pet feels safe, and cared for while you're away. Your pets' safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendlt environment and closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and hosue rules. I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether in my home or yours, I create a secure, loving environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for.

About: Grew up with a wild at heart Goldendoodle, so high energy is my comfort zone! I've spent 4 years pet sitting everything from five cats at once to a sweet senior pup and even a dog with epilepsy. I’m all about keeping pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time as a Barista, so I have lots of time to give your fur babies love Availability: - Mondays before 2pm - Wednesdays after 4pm - Friday through Sunday all day! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, stress-free, and has fun!

“Caroline was great! She fast to respond and was able to handle a last minute dog walk with a new client. She also shared some great pics from their walk! Will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with a cat and labrador retriever in the house and took responsibility for their care. I have two cats that I love very much :) I have experience in a veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant and have been around a wide range of animals. I have experience with daily care, cleaning, playing, walking, and keeping an eye on anything amiss. I’m currently working part-time, so I have availability majority of the time. My cats are independent so I am able to house sit as well as leave for extended periods of time to care for other animals. I am an active person and am outside very often. I can easily take your dog on walks, as I live near a lot of walking trails. I have a car which provides me reliable transportation. I care most about animals well-being and safety and will communicate as often as possible.

“They took care of my German shepherd for almost 3 week while I was traveling out of country. they’re awesome. Very caring . Thank you”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs and excited to help take care of yours. I work for Rover corporate full time so you know your in great hands! Looking forward to working with you! I work remotely most days and have a dog friendly office the others. I’m in a smoke free home with a patio and easy access to parks for walking and getting on some real grass. I enjoy the outdoors but can enjoy a cozy evening as well. Happy to support your animas where they feel the best! I have a back patio where your animals will have easy access. I can crate your animals if needed. I live in a smoke and drug free home without roommates so all my attention will be towards your furry friend.

About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and caring for them has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it's walking energetic pups, cuddling with cats, or tending to senior pets with special needs, I bring patience, attentiveness, and compassion to every interaction. I understand the importance of routines, consistent communication, and a calm presence—especially with pets who may be shy or sensitive. I'm happy to follow specific instructions and adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether it's daily walks, administering medications, or just keeping your pet company while you're away, I strive to make them feel safe and loved. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I'm a teacher so I have the summer off! Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine—it truly brings me joy! I enjoy building regular schedules for feeding, playtime, walks (when needed), and quiet companionship. Whether I’m doing morning check-ins, afternoon play sessions, or evening snuggles, I make time to give pets the attention and care they need to feel safe and loved. I’m flexible and dependable, so I can easily work around a pet’s preferred routine. Whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay, I treat each pet like my own and make sure they’re comfortable, enriched, and happy while their people are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that meets their individual needs. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, litter box care, or favorite toys and routines. I aim to keep things consistent, just like their family would. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure the space is cozy, clean, and pet-safe. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and quiet time depending on what each pet enjoys. I’m mindful of cues and body language and never rush interactions, especially with shy or senior animals. I believe pets thrive on trust and routine, and I treat each one with the same love and attention I’d give my own.
