“Timothy did a great job walking and caring for our senior dog. I appreciated his updates and photos of Teddy, and I could tell that my dog enjoyed walking with him. Thanks again!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly love caring for pets of all kinds! I grew up in a home with multiple pets at a time, including dogs, cats, and small animals, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my everyday life. In recent years, I have gained even more hands on experience through house sitting and caring for both dogs and cats while their owners are away. I also regularly help care for the dog in the home where I babysit, including providing attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and everyday care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I’m attentive, responsible, loving, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Washington and also work part time as a nanny, but my schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. Whether it’s walks, drop in visits, overnight stays, or just some extra company and attention, I’m committed to making time for your pet and giving them the best care possible. I’m also very organized with my schedule, so you can count on me to be reliable and make your pet a priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m happy to follow any routines, instructions, feeding schedules, walking preferences, or house rules you provide so your pet can stay as comfortable and consistent as possible. For walks and drop in visits, I’ll always make sure your pet is secure and supervised, while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. When pet sitting, I’m also very respectful of your home and will make sure it’s kept safe, clean, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always communicate with you so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands!

I have two friendly pups that will be your fur baby’s company .If your pet is shy I can leave a quiet space for her!
“My dog Doja has a lot of energy, is still a puppy, and weighs 65 pounds. She is not an easy dog to handle. Brittany handled Doja very well and she came back a happy dog. I will definitely be booking Brittany again in the future.”


“Isabella is awesome! We’ve used her several times for walks now and Frankie always comes back super happy. Will definitely continue using Isabella for more walks in the future”

About: I have a variety of experience house, dog, and cat sitting for animals of all ages, and many with medical needs. I am personable and punctual, and have a very flexible day-to-day schedule and love to meet new pets! Open for short notice bookings! I work fully remotely, and so have a very flexible daily schedule, into which some pet time fits great. I have plenty of free time on a weekly basis for unique needs and timing. I have extensive experience pet sitting at client's homes, including overnight. I think caring for pets on their home turf is a great way to get to know them and provide enrichment and fun times!
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and currently have three cats of my own, each with their own unique personality and needs. Caring for them has given me experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, administering oral medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every pet is different, and I always take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions carefully. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, and I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting on most weekdays and weekends. I always make time to give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and secure, and I’ll send regular updates with photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals and have spent decades caring for all kinds of pets. I’m both a cat and dog person at heart, and today I’m happily ruled by my Mini Schnauzer, Blue, who rarely lets me out of his sight. Over the years I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Animal care has always been second nature to me, I bring patience, experience, and genuine love to every furry friend I look after. I"m currently taking a break from the 9-5, available to walk your pup or check in on your kitties with great flexibility if I am in town. I have a completely fenced yard if we are doing day care, and companion pup Blue to keep your dog company. Calm mellow house for those anxious pups who like quiet.

“Maria was great! She showed up on time every day and sent photos and updates of my dog's walks. He looked happy, and I'm glad he got to get outside during my work day. I'll definitely be booking with her again.”


“Sebastian is very professional and kind. He is easy to communicate with. Our dog is difficult to control on a leash but he handled her well over an hour long walk. Would highly recommend his services, and plan to book again! Thanks Sebastian!”

About: I've taken care of people's pets, and my own, since childhood. From dogs of all sizes, to bunnies, and more, I'm comfortable with it all! I look forward to caring for your furry loved ones! I currently have a relatively open schedule to meet your pet or house sitting needs. Let me know and I can likely accommodate your requests! I hope to bring a kind and fun presence for your pet in their own home and am well versed in gentle introductions. I know every pet has their own preferences and needs, and I enjoy both a calm, relaxing drop in visit, and an energetic trek through the park, depending on what's best for them!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember and can’t imagine life without them! I dog sat throughout high school and am looking to continue during my college career. I love all kinds of dogs and really miss mine from home—I’m hoping to get some dog time in while I’m going to school away from home. I’m currently going to school at the University of Washington studying environmental science, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs! I am in a sorority and don’t currently have a job. I am willing and able to follow any instructions for how you want your pet to be cared for. I would love to go for frequent walks and spend lots of time with them so they are happy and have someone to keep them company!

About: Hi! My name is Emery, and I have several years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Ever since I was young, I’ve helped my aunt care for dogs and cats through her in-home pet care and boarding business, giving me hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. My passion for animal care began while helping care for my own elderly dog, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to each pet’s comfort. I also have experience administering oral medications, including providing my elderly dog with GABA as part of his care. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks or is a senior who needs a slower pace and extra support, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. If your older dog still enjoys getting outside but can’t walk long distances, I’m more than willing to accommodate them, even if that means using a stroller so they can safely enjoy some fresh air. I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine consistent, so I’m committed to carefully following all instructions and preferences you provide. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away and am happy to send regular updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk, a drop-in visit, or extended care, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family member and look forward to meeting both you and your pet! I’m a college student and am currently only taking classes from 6-8:30 pm, Monday and Wednesday. Outside these windows of time I have plenty of availability! I am comfortable walking your dog outside and have had experience with protecting my own dog in hostile situations whether that be at a dog park or on a walk. I am able to crate your dog based on their needs, administer medication as needed (capsule or oral), or even follow strict feeding regimens.
About: I have 6 pets as of now, but have had a total of 8. I am very experienced in caring for both cats and dogs, having grown up with them, and am well-versed in walking, feeding, and loving these animals. I have experience in dealing with health issues and administering medication in the form of oral syrups/pills and injections (diabetic and acid reflux). I am currently a student at UW, but have an open schedule over the summer. I am available over the weekends and weekdays between 9 am and 11 pm for drop-ins. But if there are special instructions, we can always sort out a plan that suits both parties, as I am flexible! My services will mostly be given at my client's house as I live with roommates who have allergies. I am incredibly open and encourage scheduling meetings and interviews beforehand to ensure that this arrangement works for both parties. Regarding caring for the animals, I would spend ample time getting to know your pets, not only to make sure that they are getting emotional care, but to build a trusting relationship that will allow me to walk, feed, and care for them. As mentioned, I have experience in handling medication should the situation need it, as long as I am told and shown the procedure beforehand.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in University District is $25

Dana is great, Beau took to her right away. She has a calm demeanor, which is great for Beau, because he can be a bit anxious when leaving me to walk with someone he doesn’t know. He was so excited the next day when Dana came back! I’d definitely recommend Dana. She has the “animal whisperer” vibe!

Bret was so great with my girls! He came over a few days before to meet my dogs and see what needs to be done during his visit. He had great questions to be sure he provided exceptional care and you can tell he loved animals and they gravitate to him. His experience and knowledge with high energy and large dogs which made me feel so much more comfortable and excited to find someone I can trust with my girls! Will definitely be booking with Bret again!

Jennie is one of the best dog walkers we’ve had! She clearly loves animals and is super thoughtful about the little details. For example, when she came to our house for the meet and greet, she messaged us instead of ringing the doorbell because she knew some dogs don’t like the sound of doorbells. Jennie is extremely reliable, a great communicator, and takes a ton of pictures on every walk. We feel like our dogs are safe and cared for!

I’m so glad I got connected with Sami! Very great communicator and she was so great with our dog, took her on a nice walk and handled her with ease for being a last minute request/the first time meeting her! Plus she got the sweetest pictures too ❤️ looking forward to having her back for more walks in the future!

She was amazing with Enzo! She kept us updated throughout every visit, sent lots of pictures, took him on great walks, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with him. Enzo was comfortable and happy with her, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. She was also very positive, communicative, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
