Dog Walkers in Samish, WA

About: My affinity for dogs runs deep, rooted in a lifetime of experiences that began in foster care and blossomed when I was adopted into a loving family with two precious furry friends, Molly and Tyler. I cherished every moment spent with them – from watering and feeding to playful escapades in the great outdoors. As I navigated various social settings, whether at friends' homes or on the job, dogs would inevitably gravitate toward me, and I'd toward them. It was as if we shared a special connection, one that transcended words and spoke directly to the heart. Today, I live with two stunning Blue Heelers, Honey Sage and Smokey. These canine companions bring boundless joy to my world, and I'm constantly amazed by their ability to communicate with their hearts. As an empath, I find it especially rewarding to work with animals, tapping into their emotional landscapes and forging deep, meaningful bonds. I'm available to provide pet care services every day of the week, including boarding and daycare. I also offer pick-up and drop-off services and am happy to drive to accommodate your needs. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about my services. My Fenced-in backyard is a great space for dogs to play. I offer kennels/crates for dogs as needed, to ensure their comfort and separation when necessary. My two friendly Blue Heelers enjoy socializing with other dogs. I'll provide regular breaks every two hours and monitor behavior to keep everyone safe and happy.

About: I've grown up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last two decades. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I miss working with animals every day. I currently work full time but will be cutting back my day job hours starting mid September. This will allow me to be more available for my pet clients. My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals and/or house sit at your residence.

“Kat was such a life saver! I’ve been sick and my mom sprained her ankle so my dog was in need of a good long walk. Kat responded immediately to help, and my dog came back nice and tired from her hour long walk. My dog was in great hands with Kat - Highly recommend!”

“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’ve been around all animals almost all my life and have always had the biggest love for them. I have also worked at veterinary offices and love almost every part of it :) I am currently doing online courses for school at skagit valley college and have an open schedule to help out with any type of animal care :) I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs would love and hardwood floors inside my house for when they are inside. I am fully capable of taking care of the animals however wanted :)

About: I’ve always been surrounded by pets, as my father is a veterinarian. I grew up with dogs and cats, but have been around pets ranging from lizards to quails. I’m a bigger guy who can handle stronger animals if needed. I am currently on break from university and have lots of time on my hands! I am available to take care of animals everyday for the summer months, up until mid September. I cannot bring animals over to my apartment, as it is small and I share it with others. I am however happy to stay and take care of any pets that might need more consistent care. I am happy to do overnights or just visits, and have a car that I can use to take any pets anywhere they might need or want to go.

About: I've had dogs of my own for a little under three years but have been around dogs and loving them for 15 years. I'd love to be able to take your furry babies on my walks during the day, or watch them for extended periods. I am not able to have pets with my current living situation so I a lot of love and energy to give to your sweet pets. I am currently and full time grad student in Geology, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I like going on daily walks and would love a dog to join me. I don't leave town very often so I am around to help pet sit when needed. I also I'm starved for dog and kitty interaction since I am not able to get a car or dog of my own at the moment. So lots of loving energy to give. I am not able to care for other animals in my house but I am able to go to other houses to look after your pets if you leave. I make sure to have detailed lists of medications, feeding preferences and other important information written so I always know how to properly care for your pets. I also make sure ask and really try to understand each animals individual personality so I know the best way to interact with them.

“Darien’s caring nature and attention to detail are greatly appreciated when she is caring for our nine year old labradoodle. Our dog, Charlie, gets the long walk he loves in an unhurried fashion, when Darien takes him. Charlie also appreciates it that Darien never forgets his after walk treat or to wipe his paws off when they return. Darien is always prompt and reliable, we are so fortunate to have her help.”

“Antonina was professional, courteous, and did great with Cody! I can tell from the pictures how much he enjoyed his walk!”
