Dog Walkers in Van Zandt, WA

“Our new-to-us 12 1/2 year old Havanese rescue did very well with Michael’s care during our first afternoon outing since we adopted him. We have already scheduled another longer stay next month. We really appreciate all the dog friendly security and thoughtful enrichment activities Michael provides. Charlie was the better for the experience! Highly recommended.”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I have been taking care of animals on and off since I was a little girl. I have sat for puppies, seniors, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have a bird and three dogs of my own, including a Saint Bernard. I love animals and I am hoping to get to meet some new ones. Right now, I am home from college in Seattle for the summer. I am currently taking bookings for any day of the week and at any time! Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to take pets on walks/potty breaks as often as needed. I always make an effort to tidy up toys or the home in general before leaving and I am very comfortable crating/feeding/playing with dogs of any size.

About: I specialize in large dog breeds, reactive dogs, feisty fidos, good canine citizen training, and dogs with unique needs. I am located right next to Bellevue Square and Bellevue downtown area. I am a very active person, and am able to provide a very regimented approach to your dogs care, while exceeding their mental and physical stimulation requirements. I have groomed, trained, and dog sat for neighbors and friends for years, and to name a few, I have worked with Coonhounds, Akitas, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Labs, Corgis, Shiba Inus, French bulldogs, Schnauzers, and more mixed breeds than I can count. Your time is my priority, so I am very flexible and am willing to work around your schedule to ensure your pet is taken care of. Dietary restrictions, medicines, disabilities, or other needs are welcome and can be accommodated. I have lots of availability during weekdays after 3pm, and all day during the weekends to take your dog on the adventure of a lifetime! I primarily offer dog walking and drop in services. Walks are long, active, and training/socializing is included upon request. Drop in services are thorough and tailored to make your dog feel most comfortable while you're away.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old and I have had two cats since 2008. Friends have also often asked me to take care of their pets when they are out of town. I am currently working part-time while also working on my PhD dissertation, so I am able to to accommodate a number of possible schedules and visits. I live in a neighborhood with many sidewalks and trails along with there being two parks within just a few minutes walk, all of which make walking a breeze. I also have a number of cat toys and scratchers.

About: Reliable, trustworthy, and warm-hearted pet sitter experienced with animals of all personalities. I provide loving, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while owners are away I’m a current student at WWU, majoring in Recreation Management & Leadership. I am able to be available M-TH anytime after 3:30 until June & then summer starts & my schedule clears up! Friday, Saturday & Sunday I’m available all day everyday!! We have a fenced yard & live just a short walk away from Whatcom Falls park & Bloedel Donovan so your pup is sure to have some good walks!!!

About: Hi I'm Katie! Also known as that British lady! I have owned dogs my entire life, usually always two at a time. I currently have one of my own after losing three elderly dogs in the last few years. I now only have Ernie a chihuahua cross i rescued from Kansas in 2017. I've had experience with various breeds and fostered ex racer greyhounds for a while in the U.K. I also have two indoor/outdoor cats I rescued as kittens from local feral cat litters. I finish work for the Summer in June and can offer drop in services up to three times a day for dogs, cats and smaller furries if you live in the local area, Maple Falls etc. These can be whilst you’re at work to give your beloved pet a potty break or they can be for longer stretches of time while you vacation so you can feel secure your dogs are in their own home safe and comfortable. I can also board dogs in my own home from all over Whatcom county if they are dog/cat/responsible kid friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house! I finish work for the summer in June and have a lot of availability for both walks, drop ins and boarding! From June 12th my schedule really opens up! I have a fenced yard and a dog friendly home. I have two dog friendly cats who are indoor and outdoor and tolerated living with four dogs and two kids. Dogs are allowed on my sofa and bed but only if you allow that at home… I don’t want to create bad habits!

“Lizz saved the day for us! We had a family emergency come up and had to leave town last minute. Lizz was able to cover all the walks in our absence. She gave us great feedback and won over our shy pup. Highly recommend.”

About: I've house and pet sit for family friends and we always have a good time. I have a special connection with dogs and love to spend time with them whenever I can. My seasonal job is ending, so I will have plenty of time for taking care of pets! I hope to do this at least part time to keep some money coming in. I love to play with dogs (and cats)! Going on walks, playing fetch, I love a dog's energy! Tell me which toy is their favorite, we will have a blast!

About: I have always had a passion for animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, we love going on hikes, going to the park, basically anything. When I'm not at work, I'm always with my girls. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past, and I would love to get more experience working with animals. Who knows, this could be the direction I end up taking my career. I have a little bit of experience with house-sitting/dog-sitting. I am very comfortable handling multiple dogs at a time. My dogs are very friendly and I don't believe I have ever met another dog that they have not gotten along with. They are getting a little grumpy in their old age, but they’re still very sweet! I was working remote and was recently laid off due to outsourcing. So I am home with my dogs every day, we go on walks around our neighborhood and go to dog parks in the area. I have an unfenced yard and 2 dogs and 2 cats. My cats are indoor/outdoor, and they are not shy with dogs. We keep dogs on a lead if they aren’t great off-leash and we have a good little spot to throw the ball.

About: Animals hold a special place in my heart, and I would be truly thrilled to create a safe and enjoyable environment where your little ones can have fun and feel loved while you're away. I understand how important it is for you to know they're being well cared for, and I would be dedicated to making sure they feel comfortable and happy. I am currently taking a break from my full time job so I have lots of time to play with your pups and provide fun little walks. I have a cozy home, but I’m fortunate to live close to a large dog park beside a peaceful lake, as well as a smaller dog park just a five-minute walk away in my neighborhood. There's plenty of space for your furry friends to run, play, and enjoy. I care deeply about keeping everyone safe and comfortable, so I would prefer to discuss and ensure a good introduction before introducing my friendly corgis to your babies.

About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs. I love training them and being with them. I consider myself to have a lot of patience and understanding with dogs and I do well with all sorts of pups, including overreactive, high-energy, and loud ones. I work full time as a behavioral caregiver for developmentally disabled adults, and currently my work schedule is a little inconsistent, however I am committed to keeping my schedule updated two weeks in advance so that booking is seamless and easy. I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home but I am happy to stay with animals as long as needed. I have a car and I am happy to transport to dog parks, or just walk around neighborhoods. I have a lot of patience and I gain great enjoyment just being with animals.

About: If you’re looking for a sitter who is genuinely comfortable with all animals, look no more! My name is Tabitha, and my background covers everything from raising children, ferrets, and dogs to volunteering with miniature horses and a variety of other animals. I’ve handled everything from high-energy to gentle giants, puppies, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, and exotics. I love meeting new animals and I treat every furry visitor as if they were a part of our family. Your pup will receive plenty of love and attention, playtime, and structured care tailored to their specific routine! Why choose me? Diverse Experience: From puppies and senior dogs to unique farm and exotic animals, I’ve seen and loved them all. A Clean, Safe Environment: I am a meticulously neat person by nature, so our home is always kept clean, tidy, and safe for guest pets. Reliable Communication: You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you know exactly how much fun your pup is having while you're away. I'm currently a stay at home parent who has fairly open availability for your pet needs! I'm sure we can work out a schedule that works for everyone. I own a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. My two dogs will be at my house so ideally, I watch your animals at your place or take them on a walk somewhere in the area.

“Kaiya is professional and prompt, and at ease around people and pets. Our dogs took to Kaiya right away and they really seemed to enjoy their time with her!”

About: I have owned and taken care of pets since I was a little kid, ranging from mini Australian shepherds to retrievers, labs and German shepherds. This means I have experience training young puppies and taking care of senior dogs. I also have experience with taking dogs on runs (since I love to run), which helps with high-energy dogs. I love dogs and am more than happy to help other people with pet care since I know finding the right person for the job can be difficult. :) I’m a teacher so this summer I’m earning some extra cash by nannying and dogsitting. I’m available 4-5 days a week including the weekends (and have no problem helping in the early mornings and late nights), so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m very willing to fit multiple in-house visits and dog walking/running into my routine. I care for pets in my clients’ homes so I am skilled in giving all pets the attention they need both inside and outside the home, including playing with them, taking them on walks and runs, or just sitting down and keeping them company depending on the age and needs they require. I take pride in fulfilling all pets’ routines and owners’ expectations.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since the age of 7. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets. I work part time and so I’ll have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs. I am available every day before 3pm including weekends. I have a fenced yard and an older lab to keep your dog company. A crate is also available. I am attentive and intuitive with animal’s needs.

About: I have been a licensed Veterinary technician for 18 years and live on a working farm. Lots of exercise to be had and room to run. Great experiences are never lacking for your critters. I specifically work with pets with issues but will gladly take on your sweet ad social furry friends as well. I provide care for every type of animal you could imagine. I ALSO DO NAIL TRIMMING AND GROOMING (ask me) Got goats or sheep? I sheer and trim feet too! I just moved off of my friends farm where I helped feed and manage over 300 head of livestock including cattle, bison, zebras, yaks, and miniature donkeys. We have to pay a lot of attention to every animal for herd safety and survival. I thoroughly follow all instructions in order to provide your pets with the best care. I can administer medications, provide in home grooming services and even get your pet medical attention as needed.

“Took my pup for a good walk while I had a medical appointment—would book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I’ve dog sat for my neighbors, family members friends, and I am good with all different types of dogs, young old, trained, untrained, girl or a boy. I’m available every week day after 2 and all day on the weekends I babysit part-time, but should have no impact on me. Caring for your pets. I’m a great choice for dog sitting because I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient, caring, and attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, or just giving them lots of playtime and attention. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. You can trust me to treat your pet like my own and keep them active, entertained, and well cared for.
