Dog Walkers in Van Wyck, WA

“Kat was such a life saver! I’ve been sick and my mom sprained her ankle so my dog was in need of a good long walk. Kat responded immediately to help, and my dog came back nice and tired from her hour long walk. My dog was in great hands with Kat - Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.

About: I've taken care of dogs who love everyone and those who are as choosy as cats in their people. I share my home with four cats, each one with their own style of pets and play (and their own diets). Every animal, just like every person, has their own personality. My goal is to pay attention and interact with them in a way that makes them feel safe, loved, and...if they're up for it...entertained. Need someone to walk your canine companions for a couple miles and then follow detailed instructions on which doggo gets what food and treats? That's me. Does your cat need someone to feed it and then sit in quietly in the same room for company without insisting on pets? That's me, too. Additionally, I have experience with administering medication to both cats and dogs (pills, inhalers, injections). I'm a remote-first professional, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Animals thrive with consistent routines, so I make a point to arrive on time and follow all owner directions. I regularly book between 7 AM and 9 PM, but currently my schedule is tight. Morning appointments are available if timing is flexible +\- a couple hours. My goal is to ensure that pets feel as safe and loved. Animals thrive on routine, so I'll be on time and follow your directions to ensure as much normalcy as possible while you're away. I have four cats, all of whom have different diets, play styles, and stranger tolerance, so I'm used to paying close attention to details. I'll earn your pets' trust by following your directions and adapting my approach to their needs. As a pet parent, I understand the importance of knowing how your companions are doing while you're away. I'll always check in with you and include pictures and updates. I'll never hesitate to reach out if I have any concerns or questions. While your pet is in my care, they are my number one priority.

“Autumn did a great job getting nico to feel comfortable and trusting and left nicely detailed notes. I had a family emergency and had to get a dog walker quickly and Autumn was very flexible and helpful. Thank you!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many animals and always being taught to treat each one like family. I’ve taken care of many types of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own, co-ran a pet sitting business where at one point I was watching 13+ animals at the same time, and am comfortable with every breed, from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it slow with a senior dog. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have most availability during the week M-Th, but am available most weekend afternoons/evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, boarding or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a large shared park/lawn/patio area a few seconds away from my front door. I also have many many walking trails and parks within a few minutes from me that are all off of busy roads/areas and take you through forested areas, marsh, and large fields. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am always very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always ALWAYS put myself between them and harms way.

“She cares a lot about the dogs she is walking and I appreciated all the updates and ease of communication. I’ll be hiring Mikayla for more walks.”

“Needed my dog walked last minute and Azure was happy to help in the pouring rain! Much Appreciated!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two! I have been relied on by friends and family as a petsitter for about four years. I am comfortable and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs; one of my dogs is a 110 pound Bernese, and I have petsit multiple times for a senior diabetic dog who required insulin shots. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Right now, I’m fully available and committed to making pet care a priority. Since I’m not currently working another job, I have the flexibility to build my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and attention, and go on walks or get bathroom breaks as needed. I also keep the home tidy, respect your space, and always communicate with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

“Sene has been my dog walker for several months and is amazing! She is sincere in her care for Ziva and truly understands dogs. Sene addresses negative on-leash behavior in a manner that is sound and force-free. She is in-tune with body language cues that indicate when Ziva may be on guard, or scared and Sene has the skills needed to ensure my dog’s well-being throughout the entire walk. Best of all: MY DOG LOVES SENE! I go to work each day knowing that Ziva will be looking forward to Sene arriving and playing ball and going for a walk. I know that Sene will message me with the Rover app when she arrives, send me a photo and message me when the walk is completed.”

“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with large dog breeds primarily. I am fine working with all types of behaviors and ages of animals and would love to care for yours! I am currently very open to any time or day of the week. I am an active person and would be happy to take dogs on long walks or hikes if they need a more active lifestyle. I cannot host dogs at my own home but would be happy to care for them at your home! I have experience house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, and can provide references if needed.

“Nichole is amazing! She came on short notice and walked our dog for several days before Christmas. She was very prompt and responsive. She is a huge dog lover and took great care of our dog. She sent pictures, text updates of every walk and even a holiday dog biscuit and chocolates for us on Christmas Eve. We would call on Nichole anytime. She’s a fantastic person.”

“Anna was so helpful, consistent and caring when we needed someone trustworthy and patient to walk our dog. She listened to all of our worries and wishes and took great care of him. We are so happy that our sweet but stubborn Boxer/Pitbull has a new friend!”

“Madisen watched our dog while the family visited the aquarium. She was so friendly, responsive, and timely and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog under her care. Our dog had a great time too and was nice and tired after the walks. Would definitely book her again!”
