Daily Dog Walking in Seattle, WA
Same walker every day, three dogs maximum on a group walk, GPS-tracked routes, and a photo with notes the moment we drop your dog home.
What Comes With Every Single Visit
The same walker
Assigned to your dog, not rostered daily. Dogs settle for someone they know.
A GPS-tracked route
You see where they went and how far, not just that someone showed up.
A photo and notes
Sent at drop-off: mood, toilet, water, anything that looked off.
Fresh water and paws wiped
Seattle is wet nine months a year. Your floors survive the walk.
Secured doors, every time
Locked, checked, and the key back where you asked us to leave it.
A backup walker who knows your dog
One named second walker meets your dog at the meet-and-greet, so illness never means a stranger.
Pick Your Walk
Weekday walks run between 10am and 3pm. Pick a regular slot or book as you need it.
Regular weekday slots book out — most clients start with two or three days a week and add from there.
A Small Round, Walked By People Who Stay
Pinewhistle is six walkers covering six neighborhoods, and that is deliberate. We do not franchise, we do not use a gig app, and we do not take a dog we cannot fit into a round properly. Every walker is bonded, insured, background-checked and trained in pet first aid, and most have been here for years — which is the only reason we can promise you the same face at the door every day.
- ✓Bonded, insured and background-checked
- ✓Pet First Aid and CPR trained
- ✓Six walkers, six neighborhoods, no franchising
- ✓Average walker tenure: four years
Four Things We Do Differently
Dog walking is an unregulated trade. These are the questions worth asking whoever you hire.
Three Dogs, Not Nine
Group size is the single biggest difference between a good walk and a bad one. Above three, nobody is genuinely supervising, and a scuffle is a matter of time.
One Walker, Not A Roster
A rotating roster is cheaper to run and worse for your dog. Ours are assigned, with one named backup your dog has already met.
Insured And Bonded, In Writing
Ask any walker for their certificate. Ours covers your dog, your home and your keys, and we will send it before you book anything.
We Turn Work Away
When a round is full, it is full. Taking one more dog means cutting everyone else's walk short, and you would never see it happen on the GPS.
Start With A Meet & Greet
Your walker and your backup walker come to you, meet your dog and answer everything. Most people book a slot the same week.
Where We Walk
Neighborhood loops on weekdays, trails at the weekend, rain most of the time.
What North Seattle Owners Say
The photo at 1pm is the best part of my workday. I can see where they went, how long, and that he actually had a good time.
Three dogs maximum is why we switched. Our old walker took nine at once and our girl came back frantic every time.
Our old boy needs a short, slow amble and someone who will sit with him for ten minutes afterwards. That is exactly what he gets.
Your Keys, Handled Properly
A dog walker holds a key to your house, which is not a small thing. Ours live in a coded safe at the office, tagged with a code rather than your address, signed in and out daily. If a walker leaves, every key they held is re-issued the same week. We are bonded and insured, and we will email you the certificate before you hand anything over.
- ✓Coded key safe, never an address label
- ✓Signed in and out on every shift
- ✓Re-issued immediately if a walker leaves
- ✓Bonded and insured — certificate sent on request
Before You Book
How much does a dog walker cost in Seattle?
Thirty-minute walks in Seattle generally run $22–$35, with solo walks at the top of that range and group walks at the bottom. Ours start at $22 for a small group walk and $28 for a solo, with no surcharge for medication or mobility support.
What happens if my walker is sick?
Your named backup walker covers, and you met them at the meet-and-greet. You will never open the door to a stranger you have not been introduced to, and we tell you the night before wherever we can.
Do you walk in the rain?
This is Seattle, so yes. We shorten walks in genuine storms and in heat above about 80°F, and we tell you when we do. Paws get wiped and coats get toweled before we leave.
My dog is reactive. Can you still walk him?
Usually, on a solo walk with a route we agree together. Tell us honestly what sets him off at the meet-and-greet — we would much rather know than find out on a sidewalk.
How do I change or cancel a walk?
In the app by 8am on the day, at no charge. Regular clients keep their slot when they skip a day; cancel after 8am and the walk is billed, because the round is already set.
Are you insured?
Bonded and insured, covering your dog, your home and your keys, plus Pet First Aid and CPR training for every walker. Ask and we will email the certificate before you book.
