Dog Walking South Westside

About: I have worked with both puppies and senior dogs, i have 2 poochon puppies that are 1 year old. I am currently going to school to be a vet technician and I volunteer at the animal shelter in the cat and dog rooms. I have experience handling all different types and sizes of dogs. Im a college student and currently working part-time in the late afternoons. So I have plenty of time to walk, play and give potty breaks! I have a fenced yard suitable for small to medium dogs. I have a large room that I can close off that has tile flooring and access to the backyard and also have pens if dogs need to be separated.

About: When I was little and people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'dog walker' — and now I finally get to live that dream! This summer I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I have experience with both small and large dogs, as well as cats, and I treat every animal like my own. This summer I'm home in Olympia taking a college course, so my days are flexible and my focus is simple — hitting the books and spoiling some fur babies! I have plenty of time and am committed to giving your pet consistent, reliable care My home comes with a large fenced yard — plenty of room for your pup to run wild, explore, and have the time of their life!

About: Im Ana, lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park. I’m able to give your dog/cat all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. I can take dogs to dog park or the nearest park to make sure they get the most of the visit. As a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) with a flexible schedule, Pet care fits into my daily routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and ensuring their overall well-being. Be sure that if you decide on me I will go above and beyond as that is my style in life and with animals and people.

“Annmarie was great! Quick to respond and gave a great recap of the walk! Appreciate the communication!”

“I highly reccomend Brett!  I got very sick and was in a pretty desperate situation with my newly rescued, very large pitt mix.  I contacted Brett and he got in touch with me right away.  He came at the drop of a hat a few days when Ash really need a walk.  He even came from farther than he routinely helps people.  Very reliable, punctual and kind.  Was easily able to handle my 85 lb pitt mix.  (With bad manners...lol)  I'm very grateful for the help he gave me.  Give him a call!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs, big and small. I have cared for highly energetic and intelligent dog breeds, including physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of affection! I am a college student at UW Seattle, back home to Olympia for the summer. My schedule is open for pet sitting, including weekdays, weekends, and overnights. Inside a client's home, I can provide services such as feeding, socialization, and litterbox changes for cats. Outside the home, I can provide bathroom breaks, walks, and play.

“Aaliyah was a an excellent walker for my anxious and energetic pittie, who requires some extra care. Good communication/update with Rover card. Would book again!”

About: I have always lived with and cared for cats and dogs my whole life, but I have also have several positions over the past 15 years caring for various other animals. My first professional animal caregiving experience was at Pioneer Park Nature Center in Lincoln, NE. There, I provided enrichment and care to a wild variety of animals, including owls, hawks, vultures, snakes, turtles, and salamanders. I have also lived on farms where I cared for dogs, rabbits, goats, sheep, ducks, and chickens. In California, I volunteered for 2 years at a wildlife hospital where I cared mainly for songbirds. There, I learned how to administer medication and provide foster care for baby squirrels and raccoons. The care of animals has always been central to my personal, professional, and even my academic life. I love all animals, but I am by far a cat person. I grew up with five cats and two dogs. Currently, I have a sweet old man cat named Little One. I have a lot of availability because I work seasonal, conducting bird surveys for a non-profit in Idaho in the spring and summer. I am happy to do evening walks, overnights, holidays, and weekends. I am a responsible, respectful adult who is happy to care for your pet at your home, as my living situation is not conducive to boarding animals.

About: I have been pet sitting for the a couple years, caring for both dogs and cats in a variety of settings. I have experience with multi-dog households, including overnight stays for over a week as well as shorter visits, holiday stays, play dates and walks. My experience includes walks, drop in care, feeding and meal routines, administering medications, avoiding pet allergies and of course playtime! I have dog sat for puppies less than two months old to senior dogs with mobility issues who need extra care, diets and sensitivity. I have grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, so I am very comfortable with animals of all ages and personalities. I genuinely love animals and prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I am currently out of school for the summer, working part time and focusing on side work, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. I have open availability for pet care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable care in my client’s home by following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, giving any medications as directed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation through walks, play, and positive interaction. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away. I give clients updates and photos during my stay, and always leave a summary of my time with their pets at the end!

“Helena has been our steadfast furry friend walker for years and she has been fabulous! Communicative, flexible, kind and more. Helena comes highly recommended by my family!”

“I have a skittish Sheltie who does not warm up to people easily. Zach shows great experience working with dogs and has gotten our dog to interact with him where others have not. I appreciate his dedication to taking care of animals and it was evidenced by the relevant questions he asked in our initial interview. So happy to have someone who I can trust my dogs with!”

Shea S.

“Great communication & you could tel that he loved what he does as far as taking care of our pets! Would definitely recommend and utilize them again!”

About: I've had two dogs as pets, one for 15 years and another lived until 11. I miss the companionship and would love to walk a few dogs in the neighborhood during work breaks. I work full-time locally and would love to break up my day with check-ins or dog walks. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan ahead for check-in, play, or for longer walks (up to an hour and a half). I have lived in Olympia since 2013. I am very comfortable working with dogs and have a soft spot for senior dogs or those with special needs. My last dog had degenerative myelopathy and enjoyed modified walks and exercise until the end. My hope is to have a few dogs during my work week to connect with and take care of, ideally up to two hours between 11-4, M-F.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned into their needs. I’m also a busy mom, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care. I’ll always communicate clearly, send updates, and make sure you have peace of mind. I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a mom, I’m already used to being active, organized, and attentive, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout my day feels seamless. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, always aware of surroundings and potential risks. You can trust me to treat your home and your pet with respect, care, and responsibility.

“Cayeln is absolutely amazing! I love her creativity to ask me where she wanted to walk Darla. Darla aay a squirrel and took off to chase the squirrel with such force the leash snapped. The great thing is she waa able to run her down and get Darla back with her. Darla loves Cayeln! She has such a wonderful spirit about herself and I love the trust that my dog has with Cayeln! I'm going to book her once a week for the next 3 months!”

About: I have trained my own heeler puppy since she was 10 weeks old. As well as helped raise another cattle dog until he was 8yo and have cared for and loved many different animals over the years I'm working part time and make up my own schedule. So I will usually have plenty of time for giving animals lots of attention and love. I have my own very sweet 2yo heeler that has been friendly with all dogs. And a sizeable backyard for supervised playtime. I value patience and calmness making the most out of positive reinforcement to promote good behavior.

“Lauren was wonderful with our dog Millie. We had her come a couple times a week prior to our trip to get to know Millie and it worked out great. Lauren communicated very well. She was on time for every walk and followed instructions as there were a couple changes along the way. Gave daily reports and pics which helped. Thank you Lauren for being so great with our fur baby”
