Dog Walking Windermere

About: In the past 17 years I have cared for everything from farm animals to reptiles, but cats and dogs are my specialty. Growing up my parents were always rescuing animals, so animal care is second nature to me. For cats, I am a "cat whisperer" who specializes in shy felines, special needs, and reliable medication administration (yes, I can pill any cat!). For dogs, I love all sizes but specialize in rescue dogs, leash-aggression, and senior or special-needs pups who need a calm approach. Pet care is my main focus, everything else on my schedule comes secondary. So, I have pretty open availability to meet your pet care routine needs. I take safety and trust very seriously. Happy to go over any of your own safety protocols or your trust concerns at any time. For a safety example when it comes to in-home pet care, I always open the doors slightly and slowly and have never let an animal sneak out on me. For a trust example, I have nothing to hide, so I welcome your nanny/pet-cams to be on at all times. You might just have to listen to me sing a silly song to your pets or watch me roll around on the floor with them but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.

“Sonja was a lifesaver. Our pup came down with kennel cough and couldn't go with his usual dog pack, and she agreed to walk him on very short notice for the whole week. He's nervous around strangers, but she handled the first meeting beautifully, and he was happy to see her every time she came to the house. Their walks were relaxed and fun, and he always came home tired, happy, and calm. We'll absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! My name is Anahi! I am a recent college graduate that works part time/remote day job and can make a lot of time to keep your pets company. I rehearse in the evenings, so I offer 3 walks a day, and supervised yard time on this schedule, as well as being a night owl who offers plenty of cuddles before bed. I drive my own car and live in NE Seattle with my family. I grew up going to my neighbors yard and spending hours with her 3 dogs all summer long. Recently house/dog-sat for my family friend’s (5 y/o) golden retriever and upcoming: my aunt’s elderly (16 y/o) mix. I’d love to help you out! I am in rehearsals for a musical which have me out of the house from 6:30- 10:30pm. Weekdays. I can walk 3 times a day to fit around these hours. Fridays Saturdays and Sundays I have off. Mornings-afternoons get lots of hangout time with your pet. I respect your pets boundaries. I believe in being a guest in their home. I listen when they are getting antsy, and make sure they’re outside. I am never too busy to throw a ball, even if it means brining my laptop to the backyard. I don’t rush walks, letting doggies sniff til their hearts content, and I spoil pets with love and floor time.

About: I've loved animals my whole life, and with that comes the patience to care for them in the unique way they each need to be cared for. With experience dog sitting from a young age, and skills with positive enforcement training even for innattentive little kittens, I love to learn your pet's specific quirks and play to their strengths. I currently work two days a week as a cat trainer, which leaves Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday as my main available days. I am occasionally available on weekends as well. I can easily adapt to the needs of your pets and your home, learning what they and you need to feel safe and comfortable as they receive care.

“Caralyn was great! She asked thoughtful questions about my pup during our meet and greet. She communicated before and after picking him up and taking him for a walk and sent pictures.”

“My husband and our lab Sammie walk together every day. While he was away for 2 weeks Anatolii and Svetlana provided great walks which Sammie absolutely loved. She waited at the door for them to arrive, and when they returned she was happy and tired for the rest of the day. They loved Sammie as much as she loved them and sent us wonderful pictures. They are friendly, reliable, always on time. Would definitely recommend and will have them walk with Sammie again.”

About: Hello! My name is Stephanie. I am a resident physician in Seattle WA and looking forward to love and care for your pets! I wasn’t allowed to have any pets growing up, so ever since I became an adult Ive been making up for lost time! My experience in pet care is from having my own pets after college and caring for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs of family and friends over the years. I can almost never stop myself wanting to say hi to dogs being walked on the street! I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals and their personalities! I have 2 cats named Zuko and Oliver, who I adore, who provides me countless hours of entertainment. Some hobbies that I have are; DIY projects, running, watching anime, and cooking :) I have a very flexible schedule. As of right now I am available everyday including evenings! For House sitting / overnight stays: I only offer house sitting to repeat clients as I would like to do a few drop-ins before to get a good idea your pets temperament. I like to ask clients what their expectations are with house sitting (ie 8-8 with mid-day drop-in vs day sitting vs multiple drop-ins throughout the day). If interested, please let me know! I currently live in a very safe and pet-friendly community with walking paths nearby. At your residence I will abide by all boundaries and routines you have set in place for your dog/cat and will not have any difficulty doing so.

About: I started pet sitting when I was 14 years old, and caring for animals has been a part of my life ever since. I’ve had five dogs of my own, so I truly understand the love, patience, and responsibility that comes with being a pet parent. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. As a full-time student, my weekdays are focused on classes, but I’m available Friday afternoons and all weekend long for pet sitting, drop-ins, or walks. Your pets will have my full attention and plenty of love during my available time! I believe consistency is key when caring for pets. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, crate schedules (if applicable), and any special instructions. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level to make sure they feel safe and relaxed. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos. If pets are staying with me, they’ll receive constant supervision, structured potty breaks, and lots of love and interaction.

“Rachel is so kind + communicative! She bonded with my pup instantly and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

About: all my 21 (almost 22) years of living I have always been surrounded by animals! growing up in the philippines my family always had plenty of pets (birds, dogs, cats, our own farm basically) and as an avid and passionate pet lover, i’ll cater to your pets needs as much as i can. i’d treat them as if they’re my own! <3 I’m a part-time student part-time working so my availability is very flexible! don’t hesitate to reach out and I can work around for what works with you! I’ll keep the place tidy! Make sure that your pets are well loved, fed, played with, and provide anything else that they need/what you tell me to do for them.

About: I have never not had 2 to 3 dogs in my care at all times. My husband and I are incredibly active people who love to incorporate our animals as much as possible! We recently lost our oldest dog and are feeling the hole in our hearts, and our wishing to open our hearts to the animals in our community and to spread that extra love to your pets:) I currently work part time at Seattle Children’s Hospital. My husband works full-time from home a few days a week. I would like to cut back on my hours and make pet walking and sitting a more full-time position for myself. Since my husband works from home every day, he is available to take care of the dogs all day long, and when I’m home, it is playtime and long walk time. We base our free time off the needs of our pet and will do the same for yours.

“Samantha was a fantastic help with morning walks during our last vacation. She was so good with our older, special needs dogs and even our younger dog, who’s nervous around strangers, was eager to go on walks with her. Thank you for all the awesome TLC for our pack!”

About: I’m a Vandy alumni and current UW masters student who has been watching and taking care of dogs since I was in high school for my friends and neighbors. I’ve had had 2 dogs of my own and have house sat my friends dogs for up to a week I’m currently working evenings so I will be available all morning and during the day to go on walks. I am also available to conveniently come to your house to take care of over night stays, and won’t have to leave until the evening! I have always lived by the motto, leave a space better than you found it. I take that ethos seriously. Taking care of your pet includes your taking care of your space. I work diligently to provide a safe and secure environment for you and your family (and pets are a part of your family!)

About: My passion for animals started when I was 5 years old when my dad came home with two sick kittens that he found on the side of the road. I found that the best part of my day was playing and taking care of them. So, later on, I started fostering kittens from the local animal shelter. We would take in sick or feral kittens, socialize them, and wait until they were healthy before giving them back to the animal shelter. My parents knew I could handle a dog so for my 10th birthday, I got a golden doodle rescue. She had 11 puppies over the summer of my 12th birthday. I ended up being home alone most the time, taking care of them. My passion for animals kept growing and expanded into exotic animals. I've had hedgehogs, leopard geckos, and sugar gliders. When I turned 15, I started pet sitting. My neighbor had a senior dog that she didn't trust with many people. However, she had watched me raise all sorts of animals and decided I was the only one that could give her dog the medications it needed and the care it deserved. From then on, my parents set me up with their coworkers and friends that needed pet sitting for any period of time and any sort of animal with any sort of need. This includes blind/deaf dogs and cats.

About: Having grown up from a very young age around cats and dogs, I love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have done house sitting for the pets of several friends and families over the past few years, including caring for disabled and senior pets, for up to five weeks at a time. I worked as a dog groomer during the summer of 2025 and got to interact with dogs of all ages, manors & breeds! As someone who is active and loves spending time outdoors, I am well suited for high-energy pups. I am new to this platform, but not to pet sitting! I am currently working part time, only in the mornings three days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I go for a run every day, and would love to take your dog with me if he/she is up for it! I love to spend time playing with, walking & entertaining your pets, making sure they spend as much time doing what they love as possible. I can care for pets in your house or take them out on day trips/adventures it that's allowed!

“Ciara is great with Tali! Great communication as well.”

About: I grew up taking care of my childhood dog Tommy, pet sitting for friends and neighbors, and have been a cat owner for over a year now to my 3 year old cat Benji. I am used to dealing with anxious and energetic pets, as both my beloved pets throughout my life have left the shelter with some attachment issues. I know it can be hard for some pets when their owners are gone so I am prepared to be patient and gentle with your pet. I am always mindful of animal body language and will follow any instructions or advice you have for taking care of your pets. I’m very excited to get to know your pets and promise to provide ample photos and detailed updates! I am currently pet sitting full time so I can be available as often as needed. I’m flexible with timing so I can accommodate any schedules your pets may already have. I am ready to care for your pets with patience and enthusiasm. I’m prepared to handle pets that need some time to warm up to new people as well as pets that are very friendly and high energy.
