Jack and his team have been an invaluable addition to our family! Both Bonnie (16 years old) and Gerty (2 years old) have enjoyed daily walks and many sleepovers with Jack and his incredible team! Jack is the most responsible care giver we've ever worked with. Beyond his personal professionalism, care and love for our two nuggets, he provides an in-depth training of any team member entrusted with their care. Both dogs take medication and, given the age disparity, the team was able to coordinate our slow and steady older pup with our high energy heart murmur gal. Most importantly, the dogs run to greet them. They are loved and love Jack and his team! read more

Belltown Dog Walker - 2 year old Gerty - Dog Walkers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Jack and his team are the best. Reliable, trustworthy. I have worked with other dog walking services, and often the walker would not show up. If my regular walker needs to cancel, Jack will find a replacement who is familiar with my dog, or do the walk himself. I can also add of cancel my walks anytime. So easy. Highly recommended. read more

Jack runs a great service with people who love animals. Mel fell in love with our dogs and them with her. She is very intuitive with the dogs and adjust their walks appropriately. Jack and Mel too are flexible to our needs in a timely fashion. You can really count on these guys and your pets will be happy! read more

We started with Belltown Dogwalker 5 years ago. Jack, Ann, and the rest of his team have taken excellent care of my beloved border collie. They are reliable, flexible, and so loving to my dog. Scout is crazy happy every day to see Ann appear on our doorstep. I don't know what we would do without you!! read more

I have been using Belltown Dog Walker since a year now for my 2.5 year old Golden Retriever - Simba. Jack is very well organized in his work and responds to messages about any special needs very quickly. On one occasion, I asked Jack to schedule the walk in the evening and give food to Simba, and he made that happen as well. He has assigned a dog walker - Matt who is very regular and provides an update about the walk all the time. Simba loves Matt and gets excited whenever he sees him (be it at home or in a public place), which makes me believe that he is walking him and treating him very well. On a few occasions, when Matt couldn't come, Jack himself had come to walk Simba which is very professional. I will highly recommend Belltown Dog Walker to anyone who needs a dog walker read more

We've had Jack's team walk our dogs for at least five years and they always provide excellent care and service. Recently they went above and beyond to help out us and our dogs. We were traveling and our flight was cancelled late into the evening. Picturing our dogs home alone I reached out to see if our walker could come early the next day. Literally, within minutes, the owner was there caring for our dogs. Jack jumped into action to have a plan to care for our dogs multiple times a day until we could return. I can't express the comfort and relief that brought to all of us in a very stressful time. They went above and beyond with out us having to ask to care for our pups. I can sincerely say they care for our dogs as much as we do. read more

Over the past 16 months, we have trusted Belltown Dog walker with caring for our Harley. Never once did I worry that they would miss his walk time. Living 2400 miles away from friends and family that's a big ask for two transplants to Seattle. Now our journey takes us back east. Thank you so much, Jack and your team for taking such great care of our pup. Your kindness will always be appreciated. read more

Belltown Dog Walker - Harley - Dog Walkers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We knew that our pups were in great hands when Jack and his team walked them during the day and while we were traveling. We had two senior dogs with very different personalities and Jack's dog walkers took care of them like they were their own. Our pups recently passed away and some of the best pictures that I have of them were taken by Jack's dog walkers. I highly recommend Jack and his team. Your pups will be in very good (and loving) hands. read more

Jack is great. I can trust him completely with my pet. He comes on time and diligently takes care of everything. He also sends pictures of my pet eating. I wasn't able to find someone who had experience with reptiles that I couldn't trust. Jack took away that fear. It's been extremely helpful to for me to have found him. read more

I've been Jack's client for over a year now. I first met Jack when I just moved to Seattle from Dallas and needed to find someone to take care of my English Springer Spaniel during the day while I was at work. Previously I worked close enough to come home to walk her, so it was my first experience with trying to find a regular dogwalker. I was very nervous because Malta has some leash aggression issues and can pull hard on the leash despite her deceivingly medium size. The first thing I noticed about Jack was how thorough, responsible, and detail-oriented he was. To become his client, we had an hour long meeting (with paperwork!!) where we went over my needs and his requirements. It quickly became apparent that Jack would have an even higher bar for the comfort and safety of my dog than even I do. In the year since, Jack and his team have supported me through the addition of a 2nd dog to the household, ad-hoc schedule changes (both last minute requests to add a walk or to cancel one if I was suddenly out later than expected or got sick and stayed to work from home), and even a couple of overnight stays when I went out of town. The peace of mind I get from having the same few trusted people that my dogs know and love take care of my dogs is hard to overestimate. Many thanks to Jack, Kerry, and the rest of the team! read more

Jack was completely rude to me after he let me know my dog chewed up his collar and his walker was unable to proceed with a walk. I asked if at least he was played with and received a rude response. Conversation attached in photo. I have no idea how I was "adversarial". Update to review - if you read the conversation I couldn't get a straight answer if my dog received any attention and while this occured a while ago I ended moving into the same building Jack lives in and only felt comfortable once I moved out to share my experience. No way I wanted to continue my relationship with this business! It was the fact I couldn't get a straight answer out of the owner was concerning, but again the conversation is attached. read more

I've been very pleased with Belltown Dog Walker. I get my dog a walk each day while I'm at work. I've seen her when the walker arrives, she loves her walks. The timing seems consistent and I've never had any issues. In addition, everyone I have met has been very professional and Jack makes sure to send out emails clarifying holiday schedules and the like. read more

I deal with the Dog Walkers from Belltown on a daily bases because I am the Senior Concierge at a Luxury High Rises they service. They are all extremely polite and courteous to our staff, and they show a genuine passion for the animals they are caring for. Its refreshing to see a company that is as happy and genuine in front of the public as they are behind close doors. They are always very kinda and courteous to all of our residents, Client or not, and they always treat the pets like they are their own. I would defenitly recommend them for anyone. read more

We leave for the day and we know Belltown Dog Walker is giving our little guy everything he needs while we're away. You should give them a try. You'll be happy with your choice. read more

Dear Yelpers, I've had my dog for 9 years and never thought I'd have to leave him at home by himself. To say that I was a nervous wreck when I had to leave him ALONE FOR 4 DAYS, is well, quite an understatement. My husband and I just moved to Seattle about 5 months ago and prior to that, we were surrounded by friends and family who would gladly watch our dog when we went on vacation. There was never a worry in my mind because I knew he'd be well taken care of. When we found out that we had to go out of state for 4 days to attend a wedding, we weren't quite sure what to do since we were both friend-less and family-less in our new State. The only options we had were to either board him or leave him with a stranger on dogvacay. I wasn't too keen either ideas because I knew he wouldn't cope very well in an unfamiliar area with unfamiliar faces. In fact, I took him two boarding places just to see if they could possibilities for him and he completely. freaked. out. I knew the best option would be to leave him at home where he would be the most comfortable with his surroundings and hire someone to come over to take him out for potty breaks and refill his food and water. That's when I stumbled upon Belltown Dog Walker. Jack answered my call right away and we were able to set up a consultation immediately. He came over to our apartment that weekend and was introduced to our pup, who by the way, immediately fell in love with Jack. I showed him where I kept the pup's toys, leash and food and he took notes of everything I said. He said that Joey would be taking care of my pup for the days we'd be gone. He was scheduled to come over twice a day for 15 minute walks. The day that we left our pup, I was distraught. I couldn't even wrap my mind around having a good time just knowing that our dog might be lonely. Just as I was starting to reach an all time low, I received a picture of Joey playing with my dog. The pup was obviously very, very happy in the picture. I felt so relieved. The next few days were a breeze; I was finally able to relax! Joey sent me photos via text message and kept me up to date with the pup's well-being. When we were finally reunited with our pup after 4 long days, I could tell he was very well taken care of. He was full of energy and his belly was round, meaning he actually ate his food! Joey left us a note on the counter that said he decided to spend extra time with my pup and gave him extra walks at no charge. He did so just because he liked spending time with our little guy. I was left speechless... We are so happy to have found this lovely dog walking service. You can bet that I will never use any other service because we got lucky and was able to find Belltown Dog Walker the first time. Everybody that works there really, really cares about your pet, it's obvious. Give them a try -- you won't regret it. I didn't take time out of my day to write this much if I didn't truly believe that! Sincerely, A crazy dog lady read more

Loved their services! Working with Belltown Dog Walker was so easy to set up our initial appointment, and scheduling dates was seamless, fast, and easy. The pricing is very reasonable, and Christa (the owner) and Rob (employee/our cat sitter) were both really friendly, easy-going, and great to work with from the get-go. Our kitties were very well-adjusted when we came home, and we think it's because of the attention they received from Rob while we weren't here. We really appreciated the notes Rob left from each visit, and also really appreciated how responsive they both were to my email while we were out of town. AWESOME! We also loved that our building managers knew Rob, and he could be let into our apartment when needed. Two things we would love to see added would be a confirmation email on the first day just to let us know that they were able to get into the apartment, and if there are any questions, etc. My husband said it would have been cool to have had picture text messages sent 1-2 of the visits (I think he missed the kitties a lot lol). Just some suggestions - Belltown Dog Walker did a GREAT job and we look forward to hiring them again in the future! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!! read more

Jack and his team of dog walkers have been taking my labs on weekly midday excursions for almost three years. We love the personal service (our dogs get their dog walker all to themselves for half an hour) and the pricing is very reasonable. Jack has been great.....always quick to respond and has even walked the boys when our regular dog walker is out sick. A great option when work prevents you from taking your dogs out. read more

I've had someone from Belltown Dog Walker watch my cat over the last year several times and they have always been fantastic. Additionally, when I had a big dog, they'd walk him for me and he always came back a happy boy. Reliable, dedicated, and knowledgable about animals which are 3 things sometimes hard to find. Christa, the owner is great....I trust her with my cat more than I trust most of my friends. And her employee Laura is just FANTASTIC...even left me the cutest note about how everything went and how she loved my cat's coloring. As a petsitter myself, I would recommend Christa and team anytime for any occasion! read more

I can't say how delighted we are to have trusted Jack and his team to walk our puggle, Bella, during the day. We were super hesitant to hire a dog-walked when I started a 9-5 after working from home (Bella can be very nervous and anxious) but Jeff -- our walker -- leaves notes after every walk letting us know that Bella pee'd, pooped and was "Great." When there has been an issue -- we think Bella stubbed one of her paws a few weeks ago -- Jeff texted my husband and left a long note that she seemed to be in slight pain. We kept an eye on her for a few days during our evening walks, which we normally wouldn't have if Jeff hadn't been so attentive. I've also come home from work a few days early and run into Jeff with Bella, and so I can attest how well he treats her. He also explained to me personally how he caters his walks to her needs (bringing her water bowl, etc) and cutting walks short when it got really hot. When the weather is normal, he's also super good about making sure she gets a full hour of exercise (which we can track with her Whistle) -- so we really appreciate how great he is with Bella. We can't recommend Jack and Belltown Dog Walkers highly enough. They communicate very thoroughly and make sure Bella -- and us! -- are taken care of. So glad we found them & will be using them for many more months/years to come! read more

Jack and his walkers are professional, organized and wonderful with our dog. We don't need a dog walker on a regular schedule, which is hard for some walking services to manage, but Jack makes it easy and always comes through when we need someone. It means the world to us to have a walker we can trust with our dog! read more

We love working with Belltown Dog Walker. We've been clients since we moved to Seattle in 2015. The thing we love about working with Belltown Dog Walker is the consistency in staff. We have had the same dog walker since becoming a client. This was a nice change from our last service where there was a new walker every sixish months. Jack and his staff are very caring and attentive to our dog's needs and have recommended them to several other friends in the area. read more

I don't post a lot of reviews, but I wanted to take the time for this because I can't express what a relief it is to have an excellent, reliable dog walker for our elderly dog. When I met Jack, the owner, he came by in advance to meet our dog, bring his documentation, insurance information, and to explain the process. He takes it seriously and screens his employees. Because my dog is very, very old, I was nervous to have someone take her our during the day, but there are times where I knew she needed someone to stop by when I wasn't at home. She loves Jack and the other walker who has stopped by was also timely and efficient. They take really good care of our pup, and even make sure they check her water before they leave, and leave notes on how the walk went. My dog and I feel very comfortable with them and they make my life (and my pup's life) easier! I am so, so, glad I found Jack and Belltown Dog Walkers. read more

We've had a wonderful experience with Jack and our dog walker, Bob! Jack is incredibly accommodating of our scheduling requests and has demonstrated professionalism and expertise since we began using his service. Our dog is reactive to other dogs, but we feel completely at ease when he's under Bob and Jack's supervision due to their attentiveness and diligence. It can be tough to leave your dog with someone else, but we never have to worry thanks to how great Belltown Dog Walker is! read more

Belltown Dog Walker has been walking our pup Champ daily for five years. Jack is extremely responsive and flexible. We've worked with a few different walkers from his team over the years, and they have all been caring and reliable. They take the time to leave a personal note at the end of each walk letting us know how it went. I highly recommend Belltown Dog Walker. read more

I am so delighted and grateful to have Belltown Dog Walker as a daily resource in my life. I recently adopted two Greyhounds, and after not having a dog pet since I was a child, it was a big decision for me to bring dogs into my life. Thank goodness for Jack and his team! After exhausting myself for a month rushing home to walk my dogs during lunch and rushing back to the office afterward, I hired a dog walker for the first time ever. I was apprehensive about letting a stranger into my home, but Jack proved the perfect person to alleviate my concerns. He is thorough in the introductory interview and has recruited a good team of walkers. My dogs fell in love with our first walker Joey, a sweet and kind man who recently retired, and are now getting to know a new walker, Jeff. And you can't beat the rate -- $10 for a potty break, which includes both dogs! What a huge pressure lifted off my shoulders. Jack is professional and responds to messages quickly, always with an attitude of "yes, we can help." He is a business owner who truly understands and is committed to delivering outstanding customer service. I can't sing his praises enough and highly recommend BDW for anyone needing dog walking services. read more

Jack and his team are WONDERFUL. I was occasionally home working when the walker would come and my dog went nuts, like I was worried she would consider leaving me for this woman! Super reliable and you get a slight discount if you sign up for 5 days. Wish we hadn't left the neighborhood! read more

When we moved to Seattle nearly a year ago, our primary concern was the safety and well being of our dogs when we were at work. We needed someone who was trustworthy and reliable. From our first interview with Jack, we knew our little guys would be in good hands. Belltown Dog Walkers have committed dog walkers and Jack ensures that all of them recognize the importance of their jobs, with an emphasis on safety and care. We have had the pleasure of having our dogs cared for by at least 4 different people at Belltown Dog Walker, and we trust all of them. I'm so glad we found them. read more

We had our meet and greet and all of our appointments lined up. I thought everything was going to work out great. After Jack found out that my building would not let him have a key and required it to be checked out by concierge, he just flat old told me he would not help me and dropped me like an old pair of shoes... A day and a half before my husband was to leave town!!! He left me in a situation where I had to rush and find someone to walk my dogs during my 12 hour shifts. This was beyond unprofessional not to mention completely heartless. We have 24 hour concierge and it would have taken his walker a whole 10 minutes to get a key... 10 minutes I would have happily paid for. read more

Best dog walking service ever!!!! Responsible and easy to set up. If you are looking for a great experience and a no stress interaction, this is your place. Affordable prices and excellent staff. read more

I have been using Belltown Dog Walker since October of 2010. The rates are affordable and the walkers have taken great care of my little one. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker. read more

Excellent service from these guys. They have a very good process and the owner, Jack is very professional and quick to respond. The dog walker that is walking my dog, Jeff, is super friendly and helpful. Very happy with service and recommending to anyone. read more

Jack has been very accommodating and helpful with our work schedules and always ensures Wiley our Westie gets taken care of! I would highly recommend him!! read more

I have used Belltown Dog Walker for almost two years and love them. Very caring and responsible walkers. Never a worry about them having access to my condo or about the care and safety of my puppies. They often took longer walks than were scheduled because, as Terry said "I love spending time with your babies." Highly recommend this company. I am moving out of the downtown area and so sad I will have to change service. read more

I've been using Belltown Dog Walker for about a year and a half and couldn't be more complimentary of Jack and the team he's put together. I really appreciate his flexible approach to scheduling and the dedicated walkers he uses. You can tell each walker is very familiar with the dogs they walk and attuned to their habits and quirks (Joey is very familiar with my dog's tennis ball obsession). It's also great to see Jack around the neighborhood from time to time and he always recognizes my pup. This review has been a long time coming - and I couldn't recommend Belltown Dog Walkers more highly. read more

Is your dog being walked? Good Question. I found this service looking for a dog walker to do some spot walks for my 7 month old puppy while we went out of town, and perhaps more regular walks depending on how our experience went. It was very easy to set up our initial appointment, and scheduling could not be better. We found the rates to be very reasonable, and thought his would be a great alternative to boarding. We live in a building downtown with a "24-hr concierge", and not being comfortable giving a key to someone that we weren't sure if we were going to have recurring services with, we opted to leave our spare key with our doorman, and have the dog walker pick up/drop off before and after every walk. The dog walker that was assigned to us cautioned us that this could lead to our dog not getting walked if the concierge was away when he came by, but we would be notified via email if that were the case. We understood, and were willing to take that risk and be responsible for the charges it if that were the case. The Saturday walks went well, despite a 15 minute wait, for access to my unit for a 30 minute walk at 3:30 PM. My puppy was walked for the balance of the time, as stipulated in our first meeting. He came back at 7:30PM for the scheduled 10 minute walk, and actually gave him a longer 25 minute walk. After hearing this, we were surprised, and went to sleep as very satisfied customers. On Sunday, the walker arrived for the 30 minute on time at 3:30 PM. Unfortunately, due to a communication error on my end, the concierge wasn't available to hand off the keys until 3:35 PM. The walker took my puppy for a walk, returned and left the building at 3:48 PM as noted by the concierge. Maybe it was raining (their contract says that if weather is bad the walk may be shortened, but the walker will play with your dog for the balance of the time). Even though he left 12 minutes early, I was OK with this, since he did give my puppy a longer walk the night before. My concierge confirmed with the walker that his next walk was at 7:30 PM, and that he would make it a point to be there. The walker never showed up. I never got notified. I only found out because my concierge notified me when I returned from my trip at 10:30 PM that night. I waited until the next morning to email the walker to find out what happened. Only then did I get a message from him saying he stopped by and couldn't get in, and that he had simply left. I reviewed the surveillance video for the front door and the lobby of my building with my building's security, and verified that he never arrived between 7PM and 9PM. Also verified was that the concierge never left the front desk between 7 PM and 7:58 PM. I may never know what happened to the walker that night, but what I do know is that there was no effort made to contact me that the walk had "failed" so I could make other arrangements for my puppy. If we had returned the next morning, we would be looking at over 15 hours alone without a bathroom break for a 7 month puppy. Luckily, that wasn't the case. My puppy was happier then ever when we came back from my trip. I understand that it is frustrating to try and gain entry to the building because my doorman happened to be away during the scheduled times, but not notifying me that you were unable or unwilling to perform the final walk showed a lack of professionalism that really just ended up punishing my 7 month old puppy. I spoke with the owner, and was assured that this was not an acceptable experience and received a refund for that last walk. Despite the gesture, I will have to think long and hard about using this service again in the future. read more

I had an extended holiday vacation this year for more than two weeks and I didn't have to worry about my cats at all, thanks to the attentive service Jack provided. The care, attention, feeding and litter box maintenance were all very obvious. During my trip I received frequent updates- texts, photos, even video --so I knew my girls were getting along well without me. The peace of mind I received knowing they were taken care of was priceless! Thanks Jack! read more

We have our two dogs walked every day for the past year and a half and they love their walkers. We get a nice note every day and haven't had any problems with the service at all. We love their flexibility and willingness to do services at the last minute when we have a change in plans. Their prices are very reasonable and I would definitely recommend them (and have on several occasions) to anyone. read more

After looking for a very long time and being endlessly disappointed by flaky dog walkers who would either never return my calls or promise to call and never did, I was very pleasantly surprised when found Belltown Dog Walker. Christa Holmes is extremely professional, completely dependable and has a knack for dogs that most others could only wish for. After a brief telephone conversation we arranged for a meeting. She was there right on the dot, explained her organization clearly and concisely and immediately bonded with my dog. Since then, I know I can count on Christa and her team to take care of my dog when I spend long hours at work or go on vacation. If you are looking for a dog walker, you don't have to look any further, I guarantee you that Belltown Dog Walker is the absolute best! read more

I have been using Belltown Dog Walkers for my 8 YO Tibetan Terrier for 2 years. My sweet pet is nearly blind so finding the right level of expertise and compassion was key. Boy did I ever find that magical equation in Jack, Chase, Ann and Alex. They are incredible attentive to my dog, conscientious and professional. I feel completely confident that my dog is cared for. Chase has been so consistent in his arrival times that my dog now barks at me on the weekends right around the time Chase usually comes! Being busy, I have found scheduling, payment, changes to be so easy with this company. I am a net promoter for sure! read more

He had me at "it's all about the animal". Jack at Belltown Dog Walker is an absolute animal lover. Early this winter I had an injury that all of a sudden had me off of my feet with a scheduled surgery and I had no way to walk my dog! I knew I could only use volunteers and friends for so long, so I emailed around 20 companies in the Seattle area. I explained my sudden medical situation and urgency of needing someone as soon as possible. I had few replies and most companies didn't want to lose their current clientele and didn't seem to want over 2 months of guaranteed work. I wasn't trying to make anyone feel sorry for me or my situation, but let it help them understand how much my dog needed someone to be there for him and Jack was the only one who understood that it was all about my dog and that he was the most important thing that needed attention. My dog has severe anxiety and any change to his daily schedule makes him feel insecure. Jack was willing to keep my dog on his daily schedule and even put me on a payment plan to help me out with all of the sudden expenses that were going to come up. He did this for over 2 months until I was fully recovered! I will hands down ask for his services again in the future, there is no one I can think of that will take better care of my dog and no one more understanding and that it is always all about the animal. THANK YOU JACK!! read more
