“Marta is a wonderful dog walker! My dog immediately took to her and her partner, and they were off on an adventure! My dog can be hesitant to go along with strangers, so this was a big deal! She is very prompt in her reply, a great communicator, and arrived in a timely manner! Definitely would recommend to anyone needing a dog walker on Orcas!”
“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.”
“This was our first Rover experience and we couldn’t be happier. Kelly was outstanding to work with: communicative, flexible, cheerful, and dog competent. We will use her again, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Kelly!!!”

She has volunteered at professional dog shows and helped train K-9 dogs for search and rescue. We both find ourselves preferring to be surrounded by animals if given the option!

About: In my apartment complex, I’ve become the resident dog walker/sitter. Im a huge animal lover, and have been the go-to care taker for friends and family when they vacation. I am available all evenings and most mornings for pet-sitting. I work short morning shifts in a restaurant and work shifts tend to last about 4-6 hours. Weekends can be up to 8 hours. My schedule is very flexible and I’m willing to work with different schedules. I will not be providing services in my home because of my own old tabby rescue cat. He has anxiety and doesn’t handle other animals well.
About: I grew up with three dogs and have tons of experience with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m super active and love taking dogs for long, energizing walks or even runs if they’re up for it. Whether your pup needs a solid workout or just gentle company, I’ll tailor the outing to their needs. Plus I’m happy to brush, clean up, and give them all the love they deserve. I’m a student currently off for the summer with a totally open schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’m looking for creative and fun ways to spend time with the creatures I love. Whether it’s walks, play, or just hanging out, I’m happy to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I have a car and can easily drive to nearby dog parks for some safe off-leash fun, or I’m happy to walk your dog on leash around your neighborhood or in any enclosed area. I’m also more than happy to play with your dog in your fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort always comes first.

“Bethany his kind, empathetic and a real gem of a walker( she does all the rest too) . I got a rescue that had never left the house and is kinda difficult while she adjusts and does not know how to walk with a leash.

Trust me and trust your dog with her, worth every penny.”
