Dog Walking Suquamish

“We are happy to recommend Karen, who provides such great care for our lab, Chase. He can be a bit too enthusiastic at times, and she handles him beautifully!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.

“Natasha is excellent! My dog is always in good hands with her.”

“Heather is absolutely wonderful with our fluff, and even treats the cat good too 😂 I will keep coming back to Heather as long as she is able!!”

SaraBeth D.

“Elizabeth has been great for walking our dog when we have long work days. She’s very communicative and shares adorable pictures. Our dog seems to really enjoy her walks with Elizabeth. Highly recommend!”

Alejandro C.

“Alana was excellent to communicate with and very quickly got accustomed to our chow chow mix and her habits. She made sure to keep us updated and coordinated pick up and dropoff times for walks. She was able to be flexible and adapt to the schedule in the event of inclement weather and we hope to reach out to her again!”

Dolly S.

“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”

“Carrie is everything you want and more in a dog walker and watcher! :) Thank you, Carrie!”

About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!

About: Hi!/¡Hola! - Hablo español 🐶 California born, Mexico raised, I was born into a dog family, with a gigantic German Shepherd named Taz.(Obviously he was the best boy) Loving dogs is engrained in my DNA. There’s never not been a dog in my life, and I have owned and cared for several of these perfect creatures. Throughout the years, I have found purpose in caring for and learning to speak with (train) dogs. My experience ranges from bottle babies to waddling seniors. And now, I’m at a point where I need to find a way to fund tuition for my career in training psychiatric service dogs. Unfortunately, certain disabilities keep me from having an average full-time job. After discovering Rover, I finally feel like I have a chance to pay for my classes. You can rest assured that your pupper is in good hands with me. I’m great with doggy first-aid, and will point out immediately if I notice something off that needs medical attention outside of first aid. My proudest accomplishments include successfully saving a total of 4 puppies from parvo on my own, using my veterinary medicine experience, and training a deaf puppy! A favorite experience is fostering a bottle baby pup that I rescued from Mexico. As previously mentioned, I’m a doggy trainer in training. Need some tips? I gotchu. I would love to make your pooch my student on walkies. In the last 7 or so years, I’ve studied some vet medicine, dog grooming, and a good deal of dog training. But I’ve been learning anything and everything about dogs since I was a kid. Knowledgeable on several breeds, I can identify almost any dog I see on the street, but I have been stumped a few times! I love discovering new breeds! My knowledge base gives me a general idea of how I should handle your specific breed/mixed dog. I look forward to taking your pup on a lil adventure! Thanks for considering me.🐾 As an animal-loving-entrepreneur building my own dog training business, my day to day life is literally all about my dog. Days are often slow, so I’m trying to fill in the gaps! Everything I do revolves around my pets. And everything I do will revolve around your pup if you hire me! Don’t hesitate to ask about bookings outside of my set schedule, I’ll be happy to accommodate for you. I don’t currently offer pet-sitting. But I am open to opportunities to train dogs, so let me know if this is something of interest for you and we can work something out! I’m a positive only trainer, and use the super power of treats, toys and praise to communicate with canines. No dog is too old to learn new tricks!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

About: I have been a pet lover my whole 44 years. I have owned cats and dogs of many breeds, ranging from kitten care to senior pooches needing med regimens. Currently loving on a chinchilla at home, I am delighted to care for pets of all shapes and sizes. This is currently my only gig, so I have all the time to spend with your loved ones. Always happy to discuss complicated pet needs. Care in a client home is at each client’s discretion. You tell me what your love needs and I’ll get it done. You can trust me to communicate important issues and just take care of the small stuff.

About: I grew up with many dogs, my family bred dogs so I am very comfortable with puppies and animals that are not yet potty trained. I also have experience caring for sick dogs and dogs that need special care. I’m a college student home for the summer, looking to help out around my community and watch after your animals! I love walking dogs and can always come and check on your pets when needed. While I can’t host any pets in my home, I feel comfortable servicing anyones pet in their own home. Making sure to give them water, treats, toys or food.

About: My name is Becky, I'm a masters student studying education (middle school science). I am looking to fill my day up with things that bring me joy. I love being outside and walking, so there is nothing better than walking dogs. Let me care for, play with, and walk your dog while you are busy (please!). I am totally comfortable with old dogs that have special needs, teething puppies, and dogs who don't love other dogs. I have experience with medications, wounds, and injuries for both dogs and cats. I live in Suquamish, with my husband, two kids, two cats and my sweet dog. I have had cats my whole life and dogs for my adult life. I'm just finishing up my school's course work and my kids are in school all day. I have free time on weekdays from late morning to mid-afternoon. Home drop-ins: I will be respectful of your home, and the requests of each individual client. I understand that rules may apply for different animals in a single home. Dog-walking: I tend to run a tight ship while walking dogs. I keep a short leash and have dogs heal for safety and behavior purposes. I will love your dog and provide safe and fun walk

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!

About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my whole life, caring for a wide variety of fur babies; horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, even birds. I would love to help you enjoy your travels stress free while providing quality care for your pet(s). I have around 10 years of experience around dogs, and three years ago have become a cat owner. I have experience taking care of animals with difficult care schedules and behavioral conditions, as in the past I have volunteered at animal rescues. I provide a gentle approach around animal’s and aim to provide only the best care for your pet! I am a grad student with a flexible summer schedule, up until mid-August, as I will be moving for school. Until then, I am happy to help look after your pet. I am new to Rover but am a reliable caretaker for pets of friends and family. I follow care schedules very diligently to ensure your pet is healthy and happy while your away :)

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have grown up in a home with dogs since I was five years old. I cared for my own chihuahua–pug mix, who lived to be 18 years old. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with both daily care and the unique needs of senior dogs. I also have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats. I’ve had my own cats for about six years, including one with chronic pancreatitis who requires frequent medication administered through a topical ear ointment. Caring for a pet with ongoing medical needs has made me very attentive, patient, and comfortable supporting animals who need extra care or special routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided pet sitting for several repeat customers, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including a senior terrier, a pitbull, and a husky. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual temperament, whether they need gentle companionship, structured routines, or more active engagement. Because I travel occasionally myself and rely on pet sitters for my own animals, I also understand the experience from an owner’s perspective. I know how important clear communication, reliability, and regular updates are when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I make it a priority to follow routines closely, respect each owner’s preferences, and provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel comfortable, informed, and confident while you’re away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s comfort level. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and positive experience for every animal in my care. Thank you for considering me. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Miranda :) I currently work part-time Wednesday through Sunday from approximately 9:00am–4:30pm, with shorter midday hours on Wednesdays. I’m available for pet care every evening, as well as mornings before work. Mondays and Tuesdays are fully open, which makes them ideal for daytime visits, longer walks, or extended care. I’m always transparent about my schedule and happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs to make sure we’re a good fit. I’d love to keep you in the loop of your pets care. I will send you a picture each visit and update you on how they’re doing. I will make sure to follow any protocols set in place for me while I am there.

“Wow, Maya took such great care of our dog. She was really invested in making sure our dog enjoyed her walks, and our terrier is not easy to please! Maya will definitely be our first choice in the future. Thank you Maya!”

“Brooke and his family have done a fantastic job on walking and having funs with my 15 year old Kelpie mix, Sarah. Because of her age, she walks very slow from time to time and also not good with high temperature during those hot summer days. Brooke has been very considerate and accommodating for Sarah's situation and we are very grateful to find a great dog walker!”
