Dog Walking in Anacortes

“Britt is the best! Our pup loves their long walks!”

“Niomi was able to walk our dog within a few hours of contacting her, it was wonderful!!! I can tell our girl had a great time and I’m so impressed with Niomi. We will gladly contact her again and do so without reservation. She’s such a delight & so knowledgeable! Highly highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Niomi!!!!”

“Sarah was incredible and worked with my whole family to support Luna’s walks while I was on vacation! It felt great to know that Luna was excited for her walks every day. Thank you!”

“Celeste rarely gets rain walks and got to explore areas of the neighborhood we never go to! Thank you! She needs help being not so skittish at the new things we see on walks. This will definitely help!”

“I’ve known Aaliyah for a very long time. She’s always been a very sweet person. Not only is she sweet but she’s also extremely caring and responsible. I’ve never met anyone with a bigger heart especially for animals. I once saw a video that says our pets are only part of our lives for a short time but we are their best friend for their whole life. Aaliyah has always done everything in her power to make sure she’s giving her pets the best life possible. She will go above and beyond to make sure they’re healthy and happy.”

“I am pleased to write a testimonial for Merrilee (Mare). Mare started taking care of my sweet Poppy when she was an 11 week old puppy. Poppy bonded with Mare immediately. As you can imagine, leaving such a young puppy for eight hours a day isn’t easy, but Mare made it easier. She is obviously an animal lover. Dogs (and cats) light up in her presence.! She is responsible with her time, trustworthy, and very attentive to the animals left in her charge. She keeps me informed about my dog and cat throughout her time in my home. I enthusiastically recommend Mare to help care for your animals! Mary Beth V.”

“Jessica gives my puppy her full attention and time. A full walk is what she gets!!”

About: I have been retired from being a HCA since the beginning of December, so my days are free and available to spend time with your pet(s). I have always been an animal lover. Growing up I had dogs, cats, hamsters, birds etc. You name it I’ve probably had one. I currently have 3 dogs. 1 dachshund and 2 poodles. I would love to take care of your pet in whatever you may need. I’m currently retired from working as a Home Care Aide. I am available most days and times to take the best care of your pet. I am available to care for your pet in your home, either for quick visits or daily walks. To keep your pets safe I am not currently taking pets in my home as I have 3 of my own.

“Mr. H. Is very loving kind person!! Very good with Animals!! Especially dogs I have had several dogs throughout my life and I've known Mr H. for almost 30 years and he's been affectionate with every one of my animals and I would trust him with them as well!”

About: Location disclaimer. *I am located in Anacortes all the way to Olalla, I travel the peninsula and the islands so I’m available in a wide range of areas. Just send a message to find out if I’m available in your area* Hello! I am just another dog lover who, unfortunately cannot get a dog of my own. I know there are many hardworking pet lovers that can't always get out or socialize their pets every day. I would love to wear your pooch out and give them the time of their lives. I have loved dogs since a wee baby and have only grown fonder. I recently moved back to town from Alaska. I worked in a dog kennel for a short time. Very used to big dogs and I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes. I am available all times. I am very fit! I could run around with your pup all day! Dont forget about bath time! I am very experienced in bathing even the most stubborn of dogs. Let me give your doggy the vacation or staycation of a lifetime! I am self employed in the marine canvas industry and travel frequently. I create my own schedule which allows me to be flexible, just reach out! I make sure to get all details minor and major from each client to assure safety of all pets and the home. Communication and transparency are very important to me.

About: I had my precious furbaby until he was 17 years old. I adopted him when he was eight years old, and he had my heart, as I'm sure yours do for you as well. I am familiar with bathing, feeding, cleaning up after messes, and taking for walks. I am also aware that every dog is different so I will get to know what the owners want to tell me about their dog. I will treat the dog with kindness, as if it were my own. I am new at pet sitting for others, but I love animals and I think they pick up on that quickly. I am also able to care for cats, hamsters, and Guinea pigs, etc. No birds please. I am currently self-employed as a reading tutor, and I have plenty of time between clients to make sure that your dog's needs are met. I would prefer to care for your dog in your own home, where the dog is familiar. I would make sure the dog would have appropriate bathroom breaks, and play time, and stick to the owner's feeding routines.

“Kelsey is super friendly and always on time. I trust her to come take Maddie out for a walk while I’m out of the house and to lock up when she leaves. I also appreciate the detailed Rover Cards that Kelsey writes about Maddie’s walks, and how she cares for Maddie is above and beyond!”

About: I first learned how to care for our pets (dogs, cats, birds) when I was a child. Our pets were truly part of our family, so I understand how important your pet is to you. That foundation set me up for caring for my own pets as an adult, and understanding what a joy sharing your life with a pet can be. I have availability everyday, especially during the typical daytime work hours. I can also be available for middle of the night care for those who work night shifts. I have a fully fenced, large yard. We currently do not have a personal pet, so there is no need to worry about your pet not getting along with other animals. Our entire family are animal lovers, and your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and respect in our home.

“Ressina is such a huge animal lover. She enjoys spending time and getting to know each personality of the pets she sits. She is responsible and caring. Always thoughtful and paying attention to important details. She knows that every animal's needs are different. We never hesitate to trust her with our dog and he loves spending time with her.”

“Beth is great! So comfortable and tolerant of our puppy with all his puppy behaviors. She kept me informed of all of their activities and loved on our puppy so well! He was a happy boy when we came home!”

About: I have been raised around animals. I have always had cats and dogs in the home growing up. I was raised around horses and other farm animals. In my adult life I have always had dogs and I treat them as if they were my human children. I adore animals. I have trained numerous dogs so if you want me to work with your dog at all during my visit I would be more than happy to do so. I am an outdoors lover, so I would love to take your pups out on the trail or to the beach for some fresh air and exercise. My life revolves around my two dogs. I am hoping to make pet care a nearly full time gig. My routine consists of getting up, letting the pups out, feeding them (and myself) breakfast. Some quick training and then a walk. After that the dogs go outside as they please. Mid day I usually do another small training session and another walk or some puzzle games. The evening we usually have dinner and then another walk before bed. On the weekends we are always outside finding a new trail or exploring a new area. I am able to board pets in my home depending on dates and the pets temperament. I am available for home visits during the week to let pups out, play with them or take them on walks. I am also available for doggy daycare at my home, again based on the dogs temperament (max 2 per day).

About: I have had pets of my own for as long as I can remember and have in the past 20 years cared for senior animals in addition to puppies and kittens. We've had guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles and dogs and cats. I can't help but wish that when I go away somewhere that I know I can trust that my pets are being properly cared for. That is what has drawn me to do this. I look forward to offering quality care for your pets. I am willing to make arrangements necessary to meet your needs when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am a loving and caring pet owner myself and would like to ensure your pets are well cared for while you are away from your home.

“Cora has over 6 years small animal veterinary experience. She is the person I reach out to if I have any questions regarding any of my animals. She is always knowledgeable and patient with me and my animals.”

“I really love how Weslea dedicated herself to quality time with our dog. She took the time to figure out her personality so she got that "next level" type of care. Great communication. It is obvious she is a dog lover! Ziggi would rate her 5 out of 5 paws.”

“Super friendly and an awesome dog walker. He can help with last minute stuff to which is a godsend for us sometimes. He goes above and beyond with photos and updates for us on our pup. Thank you for being awesome.”
