Dog Walking in Rainier Beach, Seattle, WA

“Meadow was a great dog walker for Mocha! My dog loved her. Always on time for pickup and drop off. Would recommend to walk your dog.”

Shauna D.

“Nikki was on time, communicative, and available on super short notice. She was able to give our pooch a decent amount of exercise over the hour long walks we had her scheduled for.”

Mark K.

“Her partner helped to carry shadow down our plank stairs as shadow is unable to go use them without chancing injury. Her and her partner are both store nice and shadow came back tired - all I could ask for!”

“Carmie has been doing great with our dog and provides thoughtful reports on their walks together. We appreciate that she’s dependable and caring. Our pup is always excited to see her!”

“Maggie was our first official Rover experience, and she was absolutely fantastic. Coco was well taken care of for the week, and all communication from the first point of contact to the M&G to the detailed walk reports each day (with several photos each time) offered peace of mind while I was away on a work trip. Maggie was professional, communicative, and gave thoughtful attention to the specific needs and personality quirks of Coco. I highly recommend her, and would happily book Maggie again when the need arises.”

“Captain and Lady had a great time walking with Carlos!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for pets and homes. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether it’s caring for pets, keeping a home secure, or handling special requests, I bring a trustworthy and professional approach to every booking. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life, and I bring that same dedication to every pet I look after. I start my mornings making sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for before heading to work in downtown Seattle (8 AM - 5 PM). After work, I go straight home to provide evening walks, meals, and attention. Since I have a car, I can easily travel to clients’ homes when needed. On weekends, I’m usually free all day, making me available for more flexible pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect the owner’s guidelines, keep the home tidy, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. My experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens to senior pets needing extra attention, allows me to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Coburn is great with my special needs dogs. He’s attentive and pays special attention to their specific needs. He’s also flexible and I highly recommend him.”

About: I worked for my aunts dog boarding and pet care business for 10 years my job was to make sure the dogs were fed, walked and exercise. I'm currently going to school I only have classes 3 times a week online so my schedule is is open to any date or time Definitely the basics food, water taking them outside to use bathroom make sure they exercise I want them to feel comfortable like they were at home

About: I would love to have doggy guests at my home by the lake for fun days and lake walks. I have had giant dogs, 160 lbs Newfoundland and a chow Rottweiler mix so I'm comfortable having larger breed doggy guests too if they are well behaved! I also have dog sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients, even a dog just had a surgery and with specific guidelines and medication schedule so I feel comfortable with the whole process. Case by case, I will stay and watch your Pups at your home where they are comfortable or have them here at my house, take them for lake strolls and chillax back at my home together. I have no animals currently and I do miss having them around. Hope to meet up for win win situation for all of us! ** note** This summer time has been crazy with inquiries for a while- and with my outdoor adventures, and with me starting a new editorial styling position soon and everything else, I was overwhelmed by requests and doggy guests at times, I apologize if I somehow missed getting back for a time! I love my doggy guests and I will try to reply as I can! Thank you and hope to meet you and your pups soon! Xx yukako. ** About this sitter: I love animals, dogs, cats, especially, but due to my freelance work and potential travels, I can't have one of my own. However, I miss my time with beloved furry friends! I just heard from my friend about Rover and I realize how perfect it is. I house sat a few dogs with my ex boyfriend as he had a few clients- and helped and took pups to lake walks, outdoor hiking, etc. and even cared for a dog just had a surgery and had to give them medications so I feel comfortable and familiar with following your care guide and schedule for your dog and have a happy fun time with them while you are away. I have had a 160 lbs Newfoundland and a mischievous chow mix myself and I do miss the doggy presence in my life. I would love to meet and greet to make sure we are all comfortable and would love to develop a happy dog caring relationship with you and the pup! I would also be comfortable to board/ take care of your dog case by case, at my lake view home- just convenient for lake strolls with your pups! Hope to have a happy furry meeting that works great for both of us! Why I love dog sitting I had my Sven the newfoundland for 9 years and Timber the Chow Rottweiler for 5 years. I raised Sven sice he was a 7 week old black ball of fuzz with giant paws to fully grown giant shedding drooling goofball at 160 LBS! He was such a mellow goofy dog that made our newly built at the time home a barn quickly with amazing amount of fur he shed and of course the beethoven style shaking off the rain and drool as soon as he came inside, but he was really like my furry child to me and He slept with us taking over a substantial area on our king size bed. Timber was a rescue and a smart mischievous one, bossing Sven around then totally kissing my butt..lol Dogs are really like having furry kids.. I do miss having them, but it is hard to have a large dog in a city, especially if you rent and travel for work or family months at a time. I'm a freelace photo stylist so it varies how busy I am depending on time of the year, and I try to visit my family in Tokyo too. Our first guest here was our friend's Basset hound Harley and since then This place has hosted a few doggy guests. I love having dog friends when I can and I'm home. I will understand how your dogs are your furry children and would love to take good care of them and pamper them. About my yard No back yard. Front yard where furry guests can hang out if he or she chooses to be outside with a leash. There is a small hiking trail down the street from my place so most likely I would take them there or the lake which pretty much is in front of the house, go have a nice walk and play then come home to relax inside. My experience administering medication Yes. I watched a dog just had a ligament surgery a few days before with my ex recently and they left a detailed medication schedule. As long as there are clear instructions, information, and emergency contacts, I would feel comfortable. It would be a case by case basis and I would like to meet both the dog and you the owner to see if I feel comfortable with the situation first, of course :) I have been a freelance photo stylist for nearly 20 years- my dates are flexible and I do work from home mostly as of late- furry guests are welcome and much loved company as I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, trails etc. It is just a very natural fit for my life preferences :)) My place is the bottom floor of a big old farm house converted into triplex- so I have a small front yard I enjoy gardening and easy to take doggy guests out on a leash quickly as needed- there’s a nice trail down the street, lake WA is across the street, and a play field next door. I enjoy taking them to parks, beaches, on my kayak, camping, hiking etc etc. I love nature and animals. That’s truly one of my life long passion and calling! I’m really happy/ get excited to hang out with and take care of all different kinds of animal buddies 💗🤓 I’m a freelance photo stylist with varying schedules week by week- I only book doggy guests when I’m not too busy/ working from home :) My love for animal buds and working with them seem to be just getting stronger and I'm focusing more and more on training adpects after 12 plus years caring for them on and off Rover :))) I have recently gone through a dog training intensive to learn different ways of training pups as needed. I'm in the process of getting a few more certifications, but I do need to listen to my guts too as working with animals are not cookie cutter situations. My basic approach is still intuition based, listening to them, see what they enjoy/ like for the training motivation and have fun with them first and foremost. I'm kind of like a spoiling doting Nana combined with basic obedience training on an as-needed basis. I believe in their individual character’s free will and that's something I care greatly about. I tried to learn speed training methods too, but it's definitely not for me. My strengths are patience, love, care, listening, bonding with each pup first then establishing firm boundaries or desired outcome by reperitions. I have learned all the classic and operant conditioning methods, but I do not have any desire to create robot-like pups who are perfectly obedient to the needs of humans. I care about them first and foremost. I would love to help if I can to aid in shifting problematic behaviors, for the pups and their parents for improved happy day-to-day life :) Please lmk if interested in more details at the meet and greet :)) We can discuss possibilities when we meet in person. I do energy work too- have taken Reiki certification and what have you haha, as I feel their energy patterns and characteristics in person and possible problematic habits that developed unknowingly by their environments too. It's easier to spot that objectively as a third person too :)) My hope is to reduce problems and help aid in a happy less stressful life for the fur buds and their parents. I do think the method of board and train is quite effective- so I can discuss the contents of added possible training as I board the pups for your travel needs etc. Thank you for reading and looking forward to meeting you and your pups! 🧡🐶🐾 Xxoo Yukako. 💖😊 I typically take doggy guests to the nearby trail first thing in the morning when I get up- that’s about 1-2 miles. Then breakfast together, then I do my work etc. while they nap- then in the afternoon/ early eve, I take them to dog parks or fields or another trails etc. Then we have dinner- then we all usually relax :)) I take them out one more time before bed, wipe their paws, take their harnesses off and they sleep where they choose- some next to me, some on the couch, doggy guest beds, or their own bed or some like their crates. I usually book stays when I’m not super busy with work, and doggy guests usually come with me everywhere I go- back seat of my car is set up like a crate- with a divider, blanket, toys and bones- they usually like napping there after running around- and I try to do that so they just want to nap anyways- If I have errands or appos or short shoot day or going to a farm to care for horses, max they will be left would be 3-4 hours if that :)) Most of the time I like to operate like a temporary pack going everywhere together :)

About: I spent 1 year taking care of my friends dog who was stuck overseas during covid. I fell in love and miss having time with dogs! I can't have one of my own at this time so can I look after yours? Over the summer I am very flexible and work from home I can easily take time to go for walks have some playtime or whatever might be needed. I can follow any directions that you leave for your furry friend and I am happy to love on them while you are away from them.

About: I had never had pet my whole life until when I turned 19 and I got my dog Max, he now has become the light of my life and forever son. When I first rescued him he was scared and alone but after days of getting to trust me, we are now inseparable. Through that experience, I’ve learned patience, empathy, and how to connect with shy or anxious animals. I have experience caring for all types of dogs, and I’m confident handling medication schedules and giving lots of cuddles or structured activity depending on the pet’s needs. I treat every animal I watch like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I am currently on summer break and I am flexible to adding pet care to my everyday routine. I am available for last minute requests! The rules you give me for your home I will most definitely respect and I aim to create a stress free environment for your furry friends!

About: There is nothing I love more than taking care or sweet fur babies. I’ve had personal experience taking care of dogs of any size for over 11 years. I have one small dog of my own that is old and very easy going. I currently work full time with kids with Autism. I usually work from 10-4. I prefer dogs that are crate trained and that can be left alone for a few hours. I am also available to dog walk before and after work! I have a large backyard area, however; it is not fully fenced. I make sure dogs are leashed when we hang out in the backyard!

“Amy was sooo good! Always came on time and sent us progress reports. Coco loved her walks with Amy. Will definitely use Amy to walk Coco in the future!”

About: Grew up with dogs as a child. I have raised 2 dogs of my own into their senior years. I had Bruce (pitbull) until he was 14 years old so I understand the special needs a senior dog has. I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule to give your pet the dedicated time they need. I work from 8am to 4pm but am able to care for your dog during the day if you live near by. I can recreate the caring environment your pet has been accustomed to. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your pet with no deviations.

About: I am very active and can take your pup on long walks or hikes! I am very cuddly and loving so your fur baby will have lots of love while you’re away. I have experience working in a veterinarian office and have been a pet owner my whole life. I am available for pet sitting as I only work in office 2x per week (Tues & Wed). I have a very flexible schedule and can take your pet out for day hikes or to the beach. I am very respectful of yours and your pets space. If your pet wants to play and cuddle I am excited to play but if your pet enjoys their personal space I will respect them as well. I clean up after myself and your fur baby. I ask for a detailed list of procedures and house rules before the stay.

“Alesha took amazing care of our 14 yr old boy. Highly recommend”
