Dog Walking South

About: I have experience with all kinds of dogs: big, small, shy or rambunctious! I currently work at a dog boarding facility, and also volunteer at the humane society. I also have a family dog who is now a senior I currently am working morning shifts but am available most days after 2pm! I am also completely free on thursdays and Fridays. I am not opposed to early or late night walks or potty breaks I live an apartment and would not be able to board another pet in my home, but would be more than happy to watch your pet in theirs!

“Will be booking again! 💯 Kind, on time, professional and Basil loved them!”

“Wendy was so accommodating and helpful for our last minute need. She was so awesome with our pups and we had full confidence in her care. She was a great communicator. We would use her again next time we are in Bellingham!”

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and volunteering at animal shelters. This experience has given me a deep understanding of pet behavior, routines, and how to create a safe and loving environment for them! I'm new to Bellingham but so excited to build my schedule around pet care! I love exploring new areas in nature and seeing all of the beauty Washington has to offer for me. Right now I am available for drop ins, walks, overnight stays, etc. When I’m pet sitting in your home, I’ll treat it like my own keeping things safe, tidy, and comfy for your furry friend. I’ll follow your instructions to the letter, whether it’s letting myself in, giving meds, or sticking to their routine. If your pet needs a little extra love or space, I’ll be super chill and let them set the pace. My goal is to make sure they feel just as happy as they would with you

About: Hi, my name's Isabelle! I grew up with two huskies, one mix and one full-bred rescue. Walking two huskies at once is something I learned to do, and while it wasn't easy, it was definitely rewarding! I currently have one cat of my own and help care for my father-in-law's cat, too. I miss having dogs so much that I decided to get into the dog-walking business. I would like to emphasize that I do NOT have formal training, just some experience with owning large dogs. If you want someone that'll drop in for play-time with your pups, or to take them on a good, long walk, I'm here to help! Cats also welcome! I am interested in helping local pet-owners take care of their critters, and my schedule is wide open. Please contact me a week or so in advance and we can plan your pet's care. I can drop in to play with your pet, or I can walk them. When I first meet any animal, I give them space to greet me on their terms, get my smell, and get comfortable before I move forward with any playtime or putting on a leash. I am careful to study their body language to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Even the friendliest dogs need a second to make a friend!

About: Hi my name is Ella! I'm a college student and aspiring veterinarian with a passion for caring for animals, and hands-on experience working with animals of all kinds. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and no matter what that is, I am happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and taking care of larger animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I'm available to care for your pets any time, any day of the week throughout August and into late September! Whether you need a last-minute sitter or are planning ahead, I'd love to help. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to follow your pet's routine, and I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure you receive regular updates while you're away.

“Jeff has taken Harvey out 3 times this week and has been very communicative. He's gotten in some really good 1 hour walks and is really tiring our little guy out!”

“Azure was so great! Super communicative and punctual. Really went above and beyond on our pup’s Rover Card. Would definitely recommend!!”

About: Hi, I'm Sydney! I am 20 years old and am currently a student at WWU. I have a lot of availability this summer and would love to spend time with your pet! I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have hands‑on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need structure and play to older pets who require medication, mobility support, or extra comfort. I’m calm and reliable, which helps me build trust quickly and create a positive, stress‑free experience for your pet. Your pet is my priority. I would need to know up front if your pet requires 24-hour care, overnight care, or just potty breaks, feeding, and play time. I want to give your furry family member the exact care that they need. I will prioritize you and your pets' safety, care, and comfort. I am ready to accommodate whatever your pet may need, whether that is consistent walks, cuddles, or you name it!

“Skylar was great! She was wonderful with my two dogs on the meet and greet, and was extremely punctual for their actual walk. I’m so happy to find such a responsible person to be able to call in the future!”

Laura B.

“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 have over 5 years of dog walking experience and have been a pet lover my whole life! I look forward to helping your animals thrive and love life even more!! I have a very flexible schedule but between 7:30 am and 7 pm work best for me to watch over and care for your pets! Don’t feel afraid to reach out for scheduling outside of my preferred times though! I have an extremely friendly shepsky who would always love to join me while walking your dog(s) or taking care of your cats and/or dogs but he is 100lbs so I will always ask if that’s conducive with your wants and needs!

About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.

“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!”

“We are so lucky to have found Aline to walk our Benji boy every week ❤️ Aline is so kind, communicative, and flexible with schedule changes. Her updates to me about Benji are filled with many cute pictures of Benny which help keep me at ease knowing he’s having lots of fun and being taken care of. Aline does not spare any details making sure I know where they walked, how his poop was, and if he behaved 😊 She also has experience with reactive dogs, which was an amazing bonus to us because Benji can be reactive around other big dogs— so we know he’s in good experienced hands with someone that knows how to handle his spicy side 🤣 We are thankful for Aline for taking care of our boy! ❤️”
