Dog Walking Vinland

“Jessica is amazing! She's very friendly and approachable and super flexible with walk times...our Mickey always has a great time when they hang out. We loved the communication and will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life, and am currently a dog mom to my wonderful fur baby. Throughout the years I have been entrusted to go to peoples houses and care for their dogs, take care of dogs in my own home, and have even been entrusted to care for newborn puppies until they were old enough to go to their homes. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, and I absolutely love any opportunity to meet all kinds of new furry friends and personalities!

“Lisa saved us and Oakley because I had to be gone much longer than planned. She knows the drill with Oakley and he seems to feel very comfortable with her. She's a keeper for sure!”

About: I grew up with dogs—especially big ones—and have always loved being active with them. I enjoy going on walks, runs, and spending down time with them as well. I’ve cared for my neighbors’ dogs and regularly walk dogs around San Diego while I’m in school. I'm usually home throughout the day, which means I have plenty of time to spend with dogs—whether it's playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. I typically head out for a workout in the late morning, but otherwise, my days are calm and flexible. I’m only available over the summer, from June through the beginning of August. I keep dogs active with runs and walks, then spend downtime relaxing with them, playing, or just hanging out to make sure they stay happy and comfortable.

“Communicative, caring and pleasant. Allison helped me with my fur baby while my roommate was out of town, last minute might I add!!! She genuinely loves what she does, and spreads the love to her fur friends. Would definitely rebook her for the future!”

About: I have always been an extreme dog lover…growing up I volunteered through various adoption agencies and duties included fostering dogs, helping with walks, and lots of playing and entertaining. I have two absolutely insane pups, so no dog will be too much energy to handle. My partner and I are very active and love bringing our pups along on all of our adventures, and I would love to do the same for your pup, if they like the outdoors. If not, I'm just as happy snuggling up and providing lots of love and attention when you're away. I unfortunately cannot sit inside my home because my one pup, Kona, doesn't always get along with other dogs, but walks, drop-ins and house sitting are definitely something I can do! I'm very flexible when it comes to what you might need, so I can make most accommodations without issue! I'm very excited to take care of your pup while you're out, and I always send pics/updates (if you'd like), because I know I love when a sitter does that for me! Fit in care around work schedule, try to accommodate what your needs are. Depending on the season, my availability changes but I’ll always be upfront about that. Happy to follow any instructions you provide. Happy to play in the yard, take your pup on walks/run, take your pup to the trails…whatever they like best!

About: I grew up with many dogs, my family bred dogs so I am very comfortable with puppies and animals that are not yet potty trained. I also have experience caring for sick dogs and dogs that need special care. I’m a college student home for the summer, looking to help out around my community and watch after your animals! I love walking dogs and can always come and check on your pets when needed. While I can’t host any pets in my home, I feel comfortable servicing anyones pet in their own home. Making sure to give them water, treats, toys or food.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and have also worked in a kennel, and done pet sitting many times, I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds, and will make sure your pets get the best care possible! I am currently a stay at home mom, but I will hopefully have time to visit your pets during the day, or take them on walks. I have provided drop-in visits and dog walking before, and always try to give your pet the best care possible, and try to follow your instructions carefully.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of dogs and cats for family and friends ever since I was a little kid, and owned both kitties and doggies of different breeds most of my life. I’ve read a few training books for doggies, stayed multiple nights for pet sitting, volunteered at pet shops, worked at pet stores, handled kittens and puppies with care, worked with senior cats and dogs, as well as other barn animals as well! I am currently working a part time job in silverdale, usually around 10-15 hours a week. I always receive my schedule at least a week in advance, so I just need time to plan around that. Otherwise, I’m a fairly open schedule! I have experience with crating dogs and giving them daily medicines if needed, or any unique care. If there is ever at all an emergency situation, I will call you immediately while also taking your dog to the vet.

“Wendy was friendly and very caring, I felt great about her taking care of my cat and dog and she really went above and beyond in her care. Would absolutely book again.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been part of my everyday world. From a young age, my life has revolved around animals and helping them become the best versions of themselves. Some of my earliest experiences were with cats, including a feral rescue named Misty I bonded with closely as a child. I tend to connect well with animals that are more troubled, reactive, or unsure, and I’m often able to bring out their calmer, more trusting side. Later on in my life, my experience expanded significantly through raising and caring for Golden Retrievers. Growing up around breeding and long-term dog care taught me responsibility, consistency, and how much attention animals need at different stages of life. I’ve been involved in raising dogs from newborns to adulthood, and many of the dogs I’ve helped raise have gone on to become unforgettable adventure companions for their families. Over the past fifteen years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with animals through long-term, hands-on care. My background as a Golden Retriever breeder has given me perspective on how different animals can be, even within the same breed. Every animal has unique preferences, behaviors, and ways of communicating, and learning to recognize those differences has been a major part of my experience. I’m comfortable managing multiple animals at once and handling a range of needs without becoming overwhelmed. I’m most accustomed to larger dogs, but my experience raising puppies has given me the delicacy and awareness needed to care for smaller animals as well. I’m especially familiar with puppies under six months old, including their unpredictable behavior and the extra attention they require. I’ve also worked with dogs that can be semi-reactive in certain situations. While I’m not willing to take on dogs that are broadly aggressive, I retain the right to assess the dog before accepting. I’m most comfortable with working with dogs that are borderline reactive but not reactive-aggressive. I can recognize signs of stress or reactivity, and can manage dogs that are generally well-functioning but may need thoughtful handling in specific situations. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, generally between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, unless I’m staying at a client’s home for house sitting. Animal care already shapes my daily routine, and I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, exercise, outdoor exposure, and rest. I’m comfortable juggling different routines and planning time and resources around an animal’s specific needs. I’m very conscientious about safety and environmental risks. I pay close attention to doors, gates, toxic plants, household hazards, interactions with unfamiliar animals, and changes in an animal’s behavior. I rely on observation and experience to distinguish between normal behavior and something that may need attention. If something seems off, I communicate clearly and directly, providing context and details without being alarmist. I also enjoy sharing updates and photos so owners feel informed and connected while they’re away. I have experience filming and taking photos of animals especially dogs and cats that don’t sit still - so you’re bound to get a good photo or two of them.

“Dennis was exceptional with Sadie. She has trust issues and Dennis was so good working with her. By the end of the week they were best buddies. Dennis went above and beyond with Sadie and I will definitely be using him in the future. I highly recommend Dennis for your pets as he treats them like his own.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have grown up in a home with dogs since I was five years old. I cared for my own chihuahua–pug mix, who lived to be 18 years old. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with both daily care and the unique needs of senior dogs. I also have several years of hands-on experience caring for cats. I’ve had my own cats for about six years, including one with chronic pancreatitis who requires frequent medication administered through a topical ear ointment. Caring for a pet with ongoing medical needs has made me very attentive, patient, and comfortable supporting animals who need extra care or special routines. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided pet sitting for several repeat customers, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including a senior terrier, a pitbull, and a husky. This has helped me become comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual temperament, whether they need gentle companionship, structured routines, or more active engagement. Because I travel occasionally myself and rely on pet sitters for my own animals, I also understand the experience from an owner’s perspective. I know how important clear communication, reliability, and regular updates are when someone else is caring for a beloved pet. I make it a priority to follow routines closely, respect each owner’s preferences, and provide thoughtful updates and photos so you can feel comfortable, informed, and confident while you’re away. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s comfort level. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I aim to create a safe, relaxed, and positive experience for every animal in my care. Thank you for considering me. I’d love to meet you and your pet! Miranda :) I currently work part-time Wednesday through Sunday from approximately 9:00am–4:30pm, with shorter midday hours on Wednesdays. I’m available for pet care every evening, as well as mornings before work. Mondays and Tuesdays are fully open, which makes them ideal for daytime visits, longer walks, or extended care. I’m always transparent about my schedule and happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs to make sure we’re a good fit. I’d love to keep you in the loop of your pets care. I will send you a picture each visit and update you on how they’re doing. I will make sure to follow any protocols set in place for me while I am there.

“Chuck is the best Rover I have used in the last 5 years of this service. On time, attentive and super communicative. He treats my dog like he is his own. #bookchuck”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5 years, to include handicapped, young, and senior dogs. I also have 3 years of experience with caring for cats. I live in a single person apartment with access to a dog park and walking trails. I am home everyday of the week and work full time through Rover. I will be able to care for your pet the entire day and can take them out as needed. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood that is very walkable. I am a 2 minute walk from a dog park which I can take your pet to daily.

About: Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playing with, and loving pets from a young age. I currently have a 13 (almost 14) year old Catahoula who I raised and trained from 8 weeks old, giving me experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like family! I have a flexible schedule and am available during the day Monday through Friday. After spending 10 years as a medical assistant, I made the switch to full time mom with my two wonderful kids. It is easy for me to drop in for visits, go on walks, or just spend quality time with your pet. I love getting outside for walks and spending time with animals throughout the day. While I’m not currently offering care in my own home, I’m very comfortable providing care in the client’s home and will always follow their preferences and routines. I’m adaptable and happy to stick to your pet’s schedule—whether that’s walks, playtime, feedings, or medications—to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've cared for dogs ranging from pugs and beagles to great Pyrenees-lab mixes! I will be engaging and careful with your pet, while paying special attention to their needs. I've even cared for a blind and deaf dog! I am a responsible adult who will work with you on what you want for your pet during our walk or during my stay. I will communicate with you to ensure your pet is in good hands while away. I will only walk as far as your dog is able, because I know some dogs need more exercise than others! I have experience with dogs who don't do well with other dogs so I know what extra care is needed for them on our walks. I promise I will not disappoint you or your dog!

About: I've been around animals most of my life and have spent lots of time taking care of them whether they be my own, friends, or relatives I generally don't have anything going on most days so I'm usually available. Tuesdays and Thursdays are busy but if it's after 5pm I can stop by if needed. If they are low energy I usually stay inside with them, take them out when needed, make sure they have water, fed at the right time, etc. If they're high energy then I take them for a walk, play in a fenced yard, nearby dog park, or if there is a good place inside the house to do so then maybe there as well. It all comes down to what the pets need at what time.
