Seattle 4 Dogs

Dog Walker

In 2003 I was asked to be a dog nanny for a German Sheppard and a Matisse who required all day supervision. To keep me and the dogs busy, we walked hours, took ferry rides, and of course hung out at coffee shops. In 2007 I attended The Art Institute and walked dogs part time. By 2011, I was devoting all my time and energy to the dogs, creating a LLC business that is insured with years of experience backing me up.

Seattle 4 Dogs is not only a business for me but my life. I took what I enjoy doing every day and turned it into something bigger. My health and the health of the animals I care for is very important, so exercise is key. Whether at your home or mine I make it a priority to walk and play outside the majority of the day, rain or shine! Getting to know a new dog is always exciting for me because they all have their own unique personality and there isn't anything that brightens your day like a companion. So feel free to contact me if you have any comments or questions! Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my page. Read more

    My only hesitation to give such a rave review is that I don't want my own dog to not be able to get on the schedule!
    This is a truly fantastic service. Mark and his team are professional and punctual. Somehow, they manage to clean my pooch up well, even when the Seattle rain is at its worst.
    The walkers are fantastic! I know my dog is safe and well cared for while he is in their care.
    I get texts and photos of all their adventures.
    I wish I could give Seattle 4 Dogs ten stars!

    This is a fantastic service - Mark and his team were extremely responsive on my first inquiry and my pup was on his first walk within days of the meet and greet! They pick up (& send you a notification when they do so, down to the minute), drop off (again with the notification), then text you pictures of the adventure, AND send you a detailed e-mail of how your pup was on the adventure after the fact! I don't know how they do it all! I trust Mark, his team, and the services provide and my pup looks forward to it every week. I've already passed on this company to all my dog owner friends, and anyone who asks for recommendations, to be honest! 5 +++ stars.

    I know Mark personally and his business. I can't think of a kinder human being than this dog lover and his professional business interaction with Dogs. It's personal and loving and connected with the highest level of kind, fun loving and connection with any owners dog. His attention to detail and making the walks pleasant and fun for all. Very few people I know have this connection to those wonderful happy dogs!

    I found Seattle 4 Dogs on Yelp and made an appointment to interview Mark almost as soon as we arrived in the city. After talking to him for a while and seeing how well he got along with Moose, we hired him. That was definitely one of the best decisions we have ever made for our pup. ...

    My dog has bad anxiety when left alone. After struggling with many other solutions including dog trainers, where he learned almost nothing, and a highly yelp-rated dog daycare center, where he'd bark with fear so loudly every time we even walk by the place, a friend recommended Mark as a daily dog dog walker. Mark is truly a blessing with dogs! ...
