Dog Walking In Tam O'shanter

“Denys has been walking my two dogs for a while now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He is caring, responsible, and my dogs absolutely love him. It gives me peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. He’s always punctual, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for and happy. He’s also very flexible, which we appreciate given our sometimes hectic work schedule. I would highly recommend Denys to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker.”

“Debbi is the best! Our old dogs love her: she spends lots of time giving them affection and letting them take it slow and enjoy their sniff-walks. Debbi is super reliable, responsive and responsible: just an all-around wonderful person. We’re so happy to have her walking our little old dogs!”

“Our experience with Tiffany has been excellent. She is very punctual, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. We appreciate the regular updates and photos—it gives us a peace of mind during the day. Our dog Coco is anxious and gets nervous with when other dogs walk near by but with Tiffany, our dog has become less anxious and happy and well-exercised every time. A dependable and professional service. She is great with our dog. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs my whole life and have had many different animals like cats, chickens, bunnies, birds, and even a chameleon. I know what it means to have your animal taken care of, loved, protected, walked, and respected. I am available to go on walks every weekday, usually between 2-4pm, and at any time in the evenings and weekends. If needed, I can also provide walks on weekday mornings before 8am. At your home, I can make sure that I have all of the information that I need so that I can properly take care of the pets and give them lots of time to play.

About: I do not know what a home is without a pet! I have always had at least one pet in my household since I was born. Currently, I have a miniature Australian shepherd that I raised and trained from a puppy. Additionally, I have a college degree in Animal Science and previously worked in the veterinary field for 4 years. I have experience with all sorts of dogs and cats but also livestock and exotics. I have worked with everything from newborn puppies to chickens to primates. I am extremely passionate about training as well as making sure pets have the mental and physical enrichment they deserve. I am currently working hybrid so my availability is mostly weekends and before/after work visits but I have the flexibility to work with you. I am joined Rover because I just love animals and it really feels like a hobby to get to meet new pets rather than a job. I have a small fenced in backyard and a miniature Australian shepherd to keep your pet company. If your pet is more solitary; Theo is more than happy to give them their space and we can provide a gated separate area for your pet. In your house, things are done your way. I prefer detailed instructions so that your home is exactly how you would like it when you come back. Additionally, allowing me to follow your set routine ensures your pet is as happy as can be when you come home. No request is too weird for your fur-baby! My own pet has lots of quirks and weird routines so do not hesitate to reach out with a special request!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away. I am available all days of the week, between 9:00 am-6:00 pm, can provide overnight care, please send me a message. (Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat) The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite

“Christine was great with our dog Pippa. She asked us for detailed care instructions before the walk, and took some really pretty photos of her next to Spring blooms! We will be using her again.”

About: Hi! I'm Dylan, and I've spent years caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs. I take a calm, patient approach and believe that every animal is an individual. I'm especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, or more sensitive pets. I pay close attention to body language and work at each animal's pace so they can feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter routine, I'll adapt my care to what works best for them. My experience includes daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering oral medications, and caring for senior dogs. I'm comfortable with both small and large breeds and focus on preventing problems before they happen through careful supervision and good communication. You can expect reliable care, regular photo updates, and respect for your pet's routine and your home. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible while ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I currently focus on drop-in visits and am available most days for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. I am unavailable on Tuesdays and have limited availability Wednesday mornings due to appointments, but I am available later in the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and can be flexible with timing—feel free to reach out to coordinate! During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets the care, attention, and routine they’re used to while you’re away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks if needed, playtime, and lots of companionship. I take a calm and patient approach, especially with pets who may be shy or nervous, and I always pay close attention to body language to keep things safe and comfortable. I’m very reliable and detail-oriented, so I’ll follow any care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos after each visit. Drop-in visits are a great option for dogs or cats who are more comfortable staying in their own home, and I do my best to make each visit a positive experience.

“Thank you for great care and walking”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had dogs and cats of my own. Being around pets has always brought me joy, and caring for them feels very natural to me. At the moment I don’t have a pet, which is one of the reasons I wanted to become a sitter — I genuinely miss having animals in my daily life. I host only one dog at a time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and a calm home environment. I have two parks within walking distance, including Marymoor, for regular walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to send updates and photos during the stay. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available most of the day. This helps me provide reliable, consistent care and follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet. At my home, I host only one dog at a time to ensure comfort and supervision. For in-home visits, I respect your space and follow all instructions carefully. I pay close attention to safety, routines, and each pet’s individual needs, and I always keep owners updated with messages and photos.

“So sweet and really came through for my guy last minute and in the rain. She was attentive and def will be happy to have her walk Donnie again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was kid, from smaller to larger dogs. I’ve also been around cats all my life and know the proper care and attention all animals need. I’ve given them medicine, walks and lots of love. I also used to work at a pet store and am very knowledgeable about diet and the type of environment each animal needs. The responsibilities I can do are monitoring food and water levels, cleaning cat litter and dog potties, playtime & cuddles, and just looking after the overall health of animals. I currently work from home, but I’m flexible with my hours, down below are the times I’m usually available. I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking Sunday through Saturday. Sunday to Saturday 11:00am to 9:00pm I’m available for housesitting Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I do not currently accept pets in my own home, but I’m more than willing to go to yours and give them what they need. I care about the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I follow their routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also would love to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind.

“Broderick has done an amazing job with our difficult puppy Nugget. We can already see a huge improvement in how he walks with us after just 1 week.”
