Dog Walking In University District

About: I am a current junior at UW from Dallas, Texas and I love animals so much and have felt so sad that I cannot have them in my living situation at school. I would DELIGHTED to take care of yours :) I have spent years taking care of my animals, my neighbors, and my family friends. I am able to hangout with your pets as long and as many times as you need! I am living near UW working a part-time job. I can do anything for you - whatever is needed! I have spent hours finding my own cat (we resorted to putting an airtag on her) and I will be willing to do that for you as well! I have also spent the last year walking 3 dogs through other apps frequently 3x a week.

About: I’m a dog owner and have experience with cat and dog sitting! I am very attentive to detail and will make sure to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’d love to help with feeding, playtime, walks, and any other care! I am currently a student at the University of Washington so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day, especially through summer as I will still be in Seattle. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. My own dog has several health issues, so I’m experienced with providing extra attention and administering care as instructed. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully and provide thoughtful care!

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized care, so I take the time to learn each pets routine, preferences, and comfort level. I am patient with puppies who are still learning good habits and attentive to senior pets who may need extra care, slower walks, medication administration, or additional comfort. I prioritize communication and provide updates, photos, and check-ins so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care they would get at home. I treat my clients pets the same way I would want my dogs to be treated! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am organized, responsible, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In both my home and clients homes, I provide fresh water, meals according to their schedule, exercise, playtime, companionship, and any medications or special care instructions. I also keep pet areas clean and provide regular updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and cared for!

“Sebastian is great! He accommodated a very fast request to do a meet and greet and walk our older dogs. He was really communicative and timely, and we felt totally comfortable with him taking care of our pups. We're glad we found him and have recommended him to friends preparing for a new pup as well.”

“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”

Sarah A.

“Aly was great with my dog, Lucky! She has a great way with dogs and you can tell she really loves them. Will definitely be reaching out to Aly again.”

“Margaret did wonderfully with my nervous dog Kona! She pays close attention to detail and followed the care and access instructions to a T. She is very good about reading dog body language and understanding when a pet may be too hot, or too tired and goes off of the signals sent by the dog. She is super sweet and detail oriented and even takes great pictures of the pets under her care! Would absolutely book again!”

Sarah M.

“Brittany was incredible to work with! Sawyer loved her immediately. She took him on a nice long walk and sent nice photo updates. Very friendly and communicative and helped me out last minute. Highly recommend!”

About: I love staying active and spending time outdoors, which makes dog sitting and walking such a joy for me. Whether your dog loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or energetic playtime, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on keeping your pets safe and smiling! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I'm currently on a long winter break during my second year of medical school at UW. I'm looking to fill my days with some friendly cuddles and to smiles during the dark Seattle Winter before starting hospital clerkships in April! I have a fenced back patio and a lot of living space in my 3-bedroom townhome that I share with my sister. We don't have any pets, so I'd be 100% devoted to caring for your pet while he's at his home away from home!

About: When I was 10 I started a business in my apartment community offering to watch pets for cash, by hand writing our house phone number on a piece of printer paper and taping it to the mailboxes. Started then and never stopped! 20 years later I’ve trained several puppies, worked 4yrs at a vet clinic, become the go-to groomer for my friends and I couldn’t be happier! Currently I am taking a break from corporate America before I start trade school. My books are open! I can accommodate most scheduling requests. :) I have a fairly small space and a dog of my own but we spend a lot of time outside! As such, for boarding I prefer smaller pets, or those that can be safely taken to the park for exercise.

About: I have had at least one dog in my family since I was born, so I have been constantly surrounded by these wonderful animals my entire life (and wouldn't have it any other way). I thrive on the connections I can make with animals, and know how to curate a calming yet playful environment so both my pets and those I dog-sit feel safe and supported. Growing up, I helped teach my dogs tricks, potty train, walk and do heavy exercise (ball-chasing, etc.), as well as comforting my elder dogs in their final moments of life. From puppies to senior canines, I have been around it all! I am in a graduate student at the University of Washington, currently on a part-time student schedule which frees up time for me to pursue opportunities I care about, such as pet care. Aside from class time on weekdays, I am willing to work with clients on a flexible schedule to care for pets weekdays and/or weekends. I am easily adaptable in new environments and do not mind entering homes/yards in order to provide the best care for your pet. I want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible for drop-in visits and/or walks around a neighborhood/park/etc.

“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.”

Helen L.

“She does a wonderful job, she is polite and respectful, diligent, and professional. She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”

Nathaniel S.

“Angela is wonderful! She keeps things fun by bringing our dog to different parks, and she’s super communicative so we always know how things went. Our dog has a thick coat, so Angela always makes sure to stay in the shade or near water on hot days which makes the walks much more enjoyable for our dog!”

About: I have prior experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, and are familiar with ways to care for both young puppies & older dogs. I am currently interning but willing/able to take care of the pets when necessary (particularly on the weekends). I also have a mode of transportation when necessary. I am comfortable engaging with dogs/spending quality time with pets, feeding them when needed, and playing with them as well. I additionally will respect and be communicative of any rules/regulations the client may have.

About: Whenever friends ask me to watch their pet whether it’s for a day, weekend or a week I feel honored, because they are entrusting me to watch a part of their family. Growing up with dogs I have always loved pets and miss having one immensely. Whenever I am pet sitting for friends I make sure to do check-ins and send fun selfies to the pawrent to help them keep their mind at ease! I am working to get a fully remote role, that way u am able to take care and provide as much time and attention as needed I live in a clean and safe apartment with my cruel friend, we keep things neat and tidy, when we had a friends cat with us for 2 weeks we made sure nothing was able to be wrecked and that anything the cat needed was attended to immediately. Whenever I watch a friends pet at their house, I make sure to follow the schedule exactly that they set because I am in their home and want to respect them as highly as I can.

About: Hi! I have lots of volunteer experience and special training with shy/timid dogs. I’m extremely responsible and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I’m currently doing online school so my schedule is pretty open. I’m reliable and I miss my dogs from home so I’ll give lots of love! Both my dogs are at my home in Kansas. I’m an active person who takes walks regularly. I’m used to picking up after dogs since I used to live in a condo with no yard.

About: Babysitting dogs is one of favorite activities ever. They're so good and so sweet. I have a few years of professional dog care experience notched. I can make time for animal care. Meeting and caring for new animals and caring for familiar ones is extremely important to me for dopamine reasons. I try to follow established boundaries and rules in the client's home. I generally ascertain the schedules and routine for animal care already set in the home.

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 cared for animals my entire life, starting with my own pets as a child. I've also provided trusted care for friends', neighbors, and family members dogs, cats, horses, birds, and small critters. I'm especially experienced with rescue pets, having cared for my own dog who was rescued as a street dog from Taiwan, as well as 2 kittens rescued from a bucket on the streets of LA. This has taught me patience, compassion, and how to support pets with unique backgrounds and needs. I treat every animal with the same love, respect, and attention I have given my own. Because every pet is family. I'm a single mom and I run my own small business from home, which allows me to make my own schedule and stay flexible. My kids are in daycare during the day, so I'm fully available to focus on pet care. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits anytime between 7:30 AM to 5 PM allowing plenty of time of time to focus on your pet's needs. I can also be available on the weekends anytime with enough notice. Please feel free to reach out to me if you need care outside of these hours and we can try to work something out. At this time, caring for pets in my home can be a bit more challenging, as I have two small children and two resident cats. Because of this, in-home care would need to be the right fit for everyone involved. I may be open to hosting a small animal that is comfortable around children and cats, calm in a family environment, and able to transition well into a shared space. My priority is always safety, comfort, and a positive experience for both your pet and family.
