Dog Walking Sunset Hill

“Oliver had a great walk with Alex! She went above and beyond - working with me to schedule a meet and greet ahead of time at my request. She sent pictures and updates from the walk, and I came home to a happy, wiggly pup!”

About: Had dogs primarily since I was a child, spent most of my life raising large dogs and spending occasional time with Cats. Very active and love to walk/hang out with any and all fur babies. I am taking a break from my regular full time career (Bartending/Restaurant Management) to spend more time pursuing art and music, and would love to have an income source that is both fulfilling and schedule flexible. I believe in relationship building with any pet I spend time with: every dog or cat is different and has different needs/quirks that require a different approach; mine always starts with trying to establish trust and a playful/happy rapport with the pet so they know I can be trusted and respected when I’m in their space, and vice versa. My apartment in particular that I share with my girlfriend is rather small, so I will mostly be taking jobs that are in clients’ homes or are just check ins/walks. However on a case by case basis I could possibly accept boarding, we don’t currently have a pet and are entertaining the idea, so a bit of in home practice could be welcome.

“She was so great with my dog that had surgery and required a little extra care. Followed instructions and had no problem giving him meds and plenty of TLC. Would highly recommend.”

About: My pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge and I deeply miss going on walks. live in Ballard and work near Seattle Center. I would love to take your pup on a nice long walk, dog park date, snuggle up with a good book or practice those tricks they've been working at. I know every dog has its own personality and special needs and I'm happy to accommodate to all dogs. Please let me know how I can best assist you and your furry family. Cheers! - Sam

“Paige did a great job taking care of Millie, who is not the easiest dog! Would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a friendly and reliable dog lover living in Ballard! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I love being around them and have plenty of experience looking after them, including senior and special needs dogs. I have a great understanding of what dogs need and will always ensure that they are happy, safe and well cared for! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all kinds, big or small, and all personalities. I’m at my happiest when cuddling or walking dogs, so I would love the chance to take care of yours. I recently moved to the US with my husband and am currently job hunting, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week. This means I can be flexible around your dog’s routine and give them plenty of time and attention. When caring for your dog, I’ll keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, be it feeding, medication or walking routes, and pay attention to their behaviour and energy levels so I can adjust to their needs. Safety is always a priority, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind.

“Elise is wonderful! They have been so communicative on their walks with my pup, Shortcake, and they have been very punctual. Not only do I trust Elise with Shortcake, I think Shorty has a lot of fun on their walks.”

About: I love and respect all animals. I’m know among friends as the dog whisperer . My focus is your pets well-being with a good belly scratch at the end of each encounter. No cats please. Cats are awesome as well but I’m allergic to their dander. I’m willing to make accommodations with multiple trips a day to meet your fur babies’ needs. I understand consistency is important to care for your pets, therefore I can always be dependable with meeting my commitment. I would provide love and attention to your pet(s) as if they’re my own. You can provide instructions to how best care for your pet(s) and feel confident that expectations are being followed.

“Sofia has been wonderful to work with - she’s warm, punctual, very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Our dog seems happy after her walks, thanks Sofia!”

Helen & Erin L.

“Katie was great! She arrived on time and was great with communicating. She included pictures of the walk and gave detail about her visit. Will ask Katie to walk my dogs again. Thanks so much! Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience as a professional dog grooming and 15 years experience caring for pets including multi pet households. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy adventures with a furry friend. I love animals and animals love me. I also provide high quality photography of your fur baby during the stay! I have open availability to caring for pets in their home as well as dog walking. I have the flexibility to adapt to any animals schedule. I can walk up to 3x a day. I travel/remote work, therefore while sitting, I can dedicate my time to your home/animals/plants. I do not have any pets in my home, anymore. I am able to care for multiple pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, guinea pigs and aquatic pets in their homes.

“Carson has been my dog walker for the last couple of months and he has been fantastic with Maggie! I felt comfortable with him coming to pick her up and take her for her mid day walk. Carson communicated well, and Maggie definitely enjoyed her walks. Definitely will hire him again if I need Maggie walked! :)”

About: I've been around animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I've cared for older more needy pets, as well as those who need lots of play and attention. Each animal is a unique individual, and I love getting to know their different personalities and quirks. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and as a cat parent of 3, I understand how to "speak" cat vs dog! But don't be fooled - I may be a "cat lady", but I love dogs just as much! I'm experienced in walking, playing, and caring for dogs of all sizes. I also love to send pictures and updates so you continue to have peace of mind while away from home. I'm a self-employed artist, so my schedule is super flexible! Whether you need a quick drop in or an extended stay, I have plenty of time to spend with your animal friend! My goal is to provide individualized care, so when you book with me, we'll chat about your specific pet and home needs. I know how important it is to have someone who trust taking care of your pets (they're members of your family)! I've cared for pets in both small apartments, and big homes with yards, so happy to accommodate in whatever way you think is best for you and your pet.

About: Hello! My name is Jared Davies and I live in the Ballard area. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, but I grew up with multiple dogs and cats my entire childhood. I go on walks/runs every day around the Ballard area and miss having a furry friend to bring along with me. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. Happy to come meet you and your pet at your convenience, free of charge before we get anything scheduled! I am currently working remote throughout the week. I am pretty flexible and can accommodate to the needs of the pets that I am sitting for. I have a good sized 1 bedroom apartment in Ballard. There are a few grassy areas just outside of my apartment, which is where I typically take them to go to the bathroom. I will take your dog on walks around the Ballard neighborhood. There are no other pets or people in my apartment, although my girlfriend occasionally helps out when I am pet sitting.

“Brian was reliable and communicative. Highly recommend!”

“Brandon is amazing! So amazing he walks my dog for me on a semi regular basis.”

About: I grew up with large aggressive breeds, small yappy breads, and high energy hunting dogs. We rescued many dogs from dog fights and neglectful situations. I feel in tune with dogs' non-verbal cues, and I am not afraid of their teeth. I have been attacked by dogs, but this has shown me how nuanced their communication styles are. I don't don't believe dogs should be punished for not understanding humans. Rather be guided into the behavior that we desier. I can assure that no matter the size of the dog, I will non-stop pet them as a puppy. I have taken care of cats for the last 5 years for friends during their trips. They are easy. I can fit potty breaks, play sessions, and exercise into my daily routine. I am a full-time student with a part-time campus job that has flexible hours. I will not be boarding pets in my own home, but they may come by for a few hours if they need some exploring and (get out of their house). I believe a pet demands a clean space free of clutter and possible choking hazards.

About: I love taking care of dogs. I had a dog growing up. Tell me what you need and I will not only give great service but genuinely enjoy sitting your pet(s)! (I don’t crate dogs unless you ask, I don’t have a cage.) My wife helps out too but I run my own business and have a lot of flexibility to give pets plenty of attention all day on my own. I am not fixed to the days and times that are specified. I make sure to have time with and around a pet 4-6 hours a day. Taking breaks from computer work or being home before or after work makes it easy to go on walks, or prep food and treats. All things are done on a schedule so that they aren’t missed. Pets are like children, they need attention and love. You’re also getting two pet sitters for the price of one because my wife is watching when I am not! I usually sit one pet (client) at a time or two of your own.

“Great communication and flexibility! Dogs look like they had a blast, even in the rain.. lots of cute pics 😊 Thanks so much!”
