Dog Walkers in Samish, WA

About: Since I was very young I have loved and cared for our dogs and cats. For the pups, taking them for long walks and spoiling them with toys and cuddles are among my specialties! For my cats, they are the lucky recipients of lots and lots of petting, cat toys and of course their favorite meals. I have an open schedule and can stop in for regular, long dog walks or stay over for overnight pet sitting and for any pet needs in between. I have experience with all ages and all sizes of dogs and cats and like to know all of your pet's favorite things and quirk so I can make my time with them super comfotable and fun. I am far away from home and miss my animals, now Rover gives me that chance to share my love of pets with others! I have time in the mornings and evenings to play, feed, and walk the pups. I never leave a dog for longer than 8 hours but I try to make 6 the max. In my own home it’s important to make sure they have some pieces of their home like toys, a bed, and a space to feel comfortable. In your home, I know it’s their space not mine. I care a lot about respecting others’ space.

About: I love animals!! I have an 8 year old golden doodle and she loves new friends! We are very active so your pet will get plenty of play time and exercise with us. I am home frequently and can accommodate dogs of many needs. I have used rover many times myself and I aim to provide the same high-quality love and care that my dog has received. Please let me know your animals exercise, feeding, sleeping, and cuddling routine so we can make them feel as at home as possible! I currently work part time and I am in school where I do most of my studies from home. I take frequent walks around the neighborhood and love to explore places in nature with my dog as well. I spend lots of time at home, ensuring your pet has the time and attention they deserve. I love taking care of animals and treating them like they are my own babies!

“She’s walked our girl at least three times now and it’s gone well every time. She puts in the extra effort for the animals.”

“Michael was great! He came over to meet our pup Marley ahead of time, so she would know him when he came to take her out. Great communication and sent pics of her during their walk. Will definitely use his services again!”

About: I still have few spots available in May, June and part of July, so book your pet sitting now! Sedro-Woolley, Bellingham and Mount Vernon! As a school bus driver, I work 6-10 AM, then have few hours break and go back to my afternoon drive 2-6 PM. To ensure proper care for animals, I like to book clients no further than a 30 min drive from Sedro Woolley. Please take this into consideration when looking at a sitter for your pets! The school year ends June 12th and I am available until mid-July. Afterwards, I am taking time off for my own motorcycle travels (this time to Colorado) and then spend August in Europe :) I have owned cats, large dogs (100 + lbs), and horses over the years, so I'm well-versed in handling a variety of pet needs. I am comfortable around animals and can stand my ground with them. I enjoy large breeds and, having two 150Lbs + dogs before I know how hard it is to find someone to take care of them! I am available for short and long term stays in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Dogs, cats, horses, turtles and fish - all welcomed and loved! I work as a school bus driver, so I leave the house early in the morning for few hours, then have 2-4 hrs off and then drive the kids home in the afternoon, usually 2-6 pm. If this is something that will work for you and your pet family, please reach out! I usually do a greet & meet before to make sure that everyone is comfortable! I will follow the directions you give me, be it giving medication to your pets, putting it in the crate at night or when away and any other rules that you may have.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 13. I have experience in petsitting through family, friends and neighbors. Animals have always been in my life and their needs adjust my daily life. I’m currently a university student who is studying computer science. So a lot of my homework/ assignments are done on a computer meaning I’m home for most of the day! I have lots of extra time to interact/ have fun with a pet at home :) Walking: I provide long and stimulating walks with lots of sniffing, playing and exercise. Drop ins: I really enjoy these! I love greeting dogs and providing them with the mental/ physical stimulation they need for the day! ( I have lots of ideas prepared everyone’s different personality/size/activity) Boarding/ sitting: not available right now

“Erin has been an amazing daily walker for our dog Penny! She is always very responsive and reliable, and super sweet with our girl. Penny also recently spent the weekend boarding at Erin’s house, and she was treated very well and made some new friends! We will definitely continue to use Erin for taking care of our puppy.”

“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: As a kid, I lived on a farm for almost a decade. I would help my mom clean out the horse stalls and feed the chickens. We also had four dogs and cats I helped walk and feed. I rescued my two kitty cats Baela & Frank from A neglectful household. As an online college student My schedule is fairly flexible at this time. I have a side cleaning gig that’s a few days a week; Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday evenings from 6:30 to 10:30 PM. Feel free to ask me anything else about my availability! I am willing to make it work if you really need a sitter on one of those days. Additionally, I’ll still have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! Please feel free to ask me more questions about how I spend my free time! What you can expect from me for your animal is a safe and loving supportive environment. I have two cats but no other pets unfortunately, so this is a great opportunity for me to be around other animals as well! This is also a great opportunity for me to gain more experience. Thank you for your consideration!

About: I have had countless house/petsitting duties since i was 12 years old. Friends, neighbors, family, and mutuals have all used me for reliable, quality animal care. Along with my personal gigs, I also have 4 years of experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility, including running it while my boss is out of town. In my experience, I’ve taken care of young, old, scaled, feathered, tiny, huge…I’m confident I’ll be a fantastic caretaker for your furry companion(s). I work part-time at a dog daycare, and although my hours vary, my shifts are never longer than 5 hours. Whatever your schedule is with your fur babies, I will do my best to imitate it. I will follow whatever instructions go along with your animal’s normal day-to-day routine. If any questions arise, I won’t hesitate to contact you to ensure all care is taken care of properly.

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 :)

“My dog Arthur is always so excited to see Stone! They have developed a trusting bond which I really appreciate since Arthur is an anxious lad, and he's always nice and tired when they get done!”

About: Hello! I am lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with multiple cats and currently have my own very loved + spoiled cat at home! I regularly dog walk and pet sit for my fellow nursing coworkers. This includes walks, some overnight visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! Animals truly bring me joy, and I'll care for your pets like they're my own :) I currently work full time at the hospital but start at 11am and end at 730pm. I am happy to swing by in the mornings and after work! I also have every Wednesday, Thursday, and every other weekend off. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always respect your pets routine, boundaries, and do whatever they need to help them feel safe and happy while you are away! I am happy to provide walks, drop in visits, or overnight stays. While I am unable to host pets in my own home because of my cat, I am very comfortable caring for your pets in their environment where they can feel the most comfortable and safe!

“Reliable, communicative, the best dog walker. Thank you!!!”
