About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I love them! I currently have a 2 year old maltishipoo. I’m trying to find new friends for her, and would love for yours to join the pack! I’ve taught my pup a handful of tricks and would even be thrilled to share some to yours during their stay! I’m currently working remote so I have all day and night for your fur baby throughout the week, including weekends! Usually, I’ll take my pup out at least twice a week so she gets to socialize and sniff around! I provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment where dogs can socialize, play, and relax. Not only is there a dog run on the roof of ny apartment building, but there is also a park 2 blocks down where your pup can play!

About: Hola 👋 I’m Michelle - your soon-to-be FAVORITE neighborhood dog walker. I noticed you have a precious pup and I’d love to be their new walking buddy that lives right next door :) Whether you’ve got a zoomie machine or a mellow couch potato, I’ve got the energy and experience for both (hello, former husky handler 🙋♀️). After caring for an endlessly energetic husky, I’ve learned no walk is too long, no zoomies too wild, and no amount of shedding too much. If your dog needs a walking buddy or a sitter while you’re away, I’m just a few doors down. What I offer: 🐾 Fun, sniff-filled dog walks/runs/sprints 🐾 Daytime check-ins and in-home dog sitting 🐾 Extra care for high-energy or older pups 🐾 Last-minute availability 🐕🦺🏃♀️ I have worked with puppies as young as two months old, and welcome the opportunity to care for the full spectrum of pups! For the high-energy, I am always happy to go on more strenuous walks for example, up the Queen Anne hill, long walks around Lake Union, or sprints down by Elliot Bay Trail. Please reach out to learn more or set up a introductory in-person connect to see how we all gel together :) I work a hybrid schedule during the week so: 📆 Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays I am available all-day for walks or in-home sitting 📆 Mondays & Wednesdays I can go on walks or do in-home sitting after 3pm 📆 Weekends I am available all-day for boarding, in-home sitting or walks When I care for pets—whether in my home or yours—I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. After spending lots of time with a super high-energy husky, I’ve learned how to keep things calm, structured, and fun. I stick to their routines, pay attention to their cues, and make sure they get the play, exercise, and chill time they need. I treat every pet like my own, with lots of love, patience, and belly rubs along the way. 🌿 I have a rooftop with a dog area that I would spend time at with my husky who loved basking in the hedges. I live nearby plenty of parks and green areas perfect for walks and prancing with other dogs ~ if the dog I am caring for is comfortable playing with other dogs, of course!

About: I've had a wide variety of pets since I was kid - from dogs, cats, to rabbits and hamsters! Most recently, I adopted my anxious border collie mix from a rescue in Mexico in 2021, and he is the light of my life. Together, we've completed multiple reactivity dog training classes and are beginning our dog sports journey. I know what it's like to be the pet parent to an anxious, nervous, and reactive dog, and as a result, I have a special place in my heart for pets that are slow to warm up. I have a lot of experience working with high-energy, working breed dogs, and am passionate about providing quality care tailored to your pet's individual needs. I lead with compassion and patience in my care first and foremost because I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and understood. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby, and am happy to accommodate any special requests! Dog walking and pet care is currently my full-time job. I have plenty of time to be attentive to your pet's specific needs! I am thorough, detail-oriented, and take pride in building a foundational relationship with your pet based on mutual trust and patience. I am no stranger to the needs of an active, neurotic herding breed dog. I look forward to walking miles upon miles, playing fetch, or helping you work on any specific training goals you have with your dog! I also was a pet parent to 3 rabbits previously, and am very familiar with the special attention and care required of smaller animals. My own dog requires daily medication administration that he does not particularly enjoy, so I am quite skilled at this point in more difficult-to-administer medical care. My priority is to ensure your pet feels safe and loved, and I am eager to accommodate any and all requests to ensure that outcome.

“Aymane was great with my fur baby, Clover. Aymane's super patient in letting her warm up to him, which I greatly appreciated because she can be nervous around new people. Aymane was attentive to her body language and needs. I'll definitely be requesting Aymane again!”


About: Hi! I’m currently living away from my dog and would love to help take care of yours to fill the void. I’ve raised two dogs from the puppy stage and have taken care of many cats, including senior cats that need inhalers and medication. I’m a full-time grad student and part-time waitress, so I’m occasionally free during the day time before my evening classes at 6 pm. I’m really flexible during the weekends too. I love meeting new fur babies and understand if they have anxiety with new people. One of my dogs back at home can be pretty reactive so I’m immune to any initial barking and or growling. I consider my pets as my children and will treat yours with the same amount of love and care.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong pet lover with 20+ years of hands-on experience! I grew up with both a dog and a cat, and I’m currently a proud pet parent to one of each. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family, and I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and lots of playtime. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and at home. After leaving my full-time corporate job, I’ve shifted my focus to doing what I truly love—caring for animals. Pet care now fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility and time to provide attentive, personalized care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m available and fully committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and loved throughout the day. When caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed—so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I stick closely to their usual routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and treat them like my own. You can count on consistent updates, respectful home care, and a happy pet waiting for you when you return.

Eunie L.
“Perfect care for my precious Pomeranian! I cannot recommend Eunie enough for small dog care! As someone who works long hours at one of the tech companies downtown, finding reliable pet care was crucial for my 8-pound Pomeranian, Gigi. Eunie immediately understood the unique needs of small dogs. She's incredibly gentle and patient, always making sure Gigi felt safe and comfortable. What really impressed me was her attention to detail - she noticed that Gigi gets cold easily during Seattle's drizzly days and always made sure she had her little raincoat and booties on for walks around Denny Park. Eunie knows the neighborhood perfectly and has found the best quiet spots for small dogs to do their business without being overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the area. Her own puppy is also the friendliest ever which Gigi absolutely loves! Her communication is outstanding - I always received photos and updates throughout the day, which gave me not only peace of mind but adorable surprises while I was in back-to-back meetings. Eunie clearly has a natural affinity for dogs and understands their temperaments. Gigi, who is usually shy around new people, warmed up to Eunie immediately. The fact that Eunie is young and energetic but also responsible and mature made her the perfect fit for our needs. She's punctual, professional, and genuinely cares about each dog's individual personality and requirements.”


Michelle R.
“Michelle has been Lola’s favorite sitter since she was 4 months old! We board Lola with Michelle on the weekends and from the first time I dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands—walks are her favorite, and she always came back happy, calm, and well-exercised. I love how attentive and tuned in Michelle is to her specific needs, from playtime to nap schedules to little quirks in behavior. I always got updates and could tell she was being treated like family. It’s such a relief knowing she’s not just safe, but truly cared for when I’m away.”


Lindsey W.
“Lindsey is quite the animal whisperer!! She treats all dogs as if they were own dog! She is kind and compassionate and truly understands what they need. She has been that way her whole life. I would trust her wholeheartedly with any animal of mine!”


Aymane B.

“Aymane was great with my fur baby, Clover. Aymane's super patient in letting her warm up to him, which I greatly appreciated because she can be nervous around new people. Aymane was attentive to her body language and needs. I'll definitely be requesting Aymane again!”


Allyson C.
“I definitely recommend Allyson and trust her to take care of my pets! She’s responsible and trustworthy, and has many years of experience taking care of her elderly dog and multiple cats. She’s very responsive and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my pets in her care!!”
