Raliable Caring Competent She is always planning activities for her crew of pups so that they get a pleasant and diverse play/walk/hike. She is very careful to socialize the dogs in a really thoughtful way. This is not a service that walks your dog for 30 min while the walker is looking at their phone.

Walk Hike Play - Dog Walkers Near Me

Walk Hike Play provides exceptionally personal and loving pet services. Nicole (and her beloved side-kick Abby) have been walking Murphy, our labradoodle, several days a week for a few years now. We get tremendous piece of mind knowing that Murphy is getting social time with Abby and exercise while we are at work. Nicole, a.k.a. the dog whisperer, is a wonderfully calm, pack leader who inspires Murphy to be on his best behavior... always. WHP has also cared for our 2 cats when we are out of town. They have brought over fun toys for play time and added bonus is I get great pictures of their adventures while we are away. I highly recommend WHP!! read more

One of my bad dogs doesn't like new people. Nicole quickly won her over. Nicole cares for our dogs as if they belonged to her. Both dogs have needed extra attention and Nicole helped us. Her communication is awesome. read more

Walk Hike Play - After a walk, I'm not sure where she takes them but theses 2 are beat. Hooray, I get a break! - Dog Walkers Near Me

You will not find a better dog walking "duo". Nicole is amazing and really cares for your pet, and her partner in crime, Abby, is a sweetheart. She is an amazingly neutral, well-behaved dog that is a great partner for walking with your pet as well. She goes above and beyond for my pup, Oliver, and he is actually obsessed with her and Abby. We get daily pictures of their adventures & walks, and I know it is his favorite part of the day (even more so than my return from work). We look forward to many more years with Nicole and Abby as our Kirkland dog walker. read more

Nicole has been walking my dog for more than three years. I've had dog walkers for many years but Nicole is one of the very best. She is the most reliable and patient dog lover out there. My dog is a challenge to watch but Nicole continues to work to improve her confidence. She's the best! read more

We are super happy we found Nicole at Walk, Hike, Play! We are always crazy busy, and there is never enough time for our pets as we would like, so Nicole comes in to save the day on a regular basis. Our dogs LOVE her. (more than us? maybe.) They are always so excited to see her, and pretty tired when they come back. I get regular photos/updates about how my guys are doing, and it always looks like they are having a blast. If I can up my technology ability, I will upload a photo of my dogs enjoying their time with Nicole, but don't look for that any time soon. I have had Nicole come in and feed my cats while we are on vacation, and while I only asked her to check in on them, give them some food and water, she always spends time playing with them. Spoiled cats. It is really nice to be able to go on vacation and not spend any time worrying about my furry family while we are away. read more

Nicole is the best - don't hesitate to use her services. Nicole comes and walks our dog kau several times a week - sometimes it's a neighborhood walk, a park visit or a dog park visit. We never worry when Nicole is caring for him - she is always on time and extremely reliable. She sends both my husband and myself texts and photos indicating what they are doing including if he has done his business!! Kau loves her!! It is extremely hard to find someone who cares for your dog as much as you do but Nicole does. She is a true animal lover! Thank you Nicole! read more

Nicole is just the BEST !!!! I love Nicole and Abby!! I have a small female Maltese mix that has trouble being around other dogs but Nicole's caring and gentleness somehow made my dog feel at ease.

She gives me daily updates with beautiful photo's! I trust her completely and I am so grateful that I found her. I can work peacfeully during the day knowing that I have Nicole and Abby to take care of my daughter. Thanks so very much for all that you do!

Nicole & Walk Hike Play are the best. Nicole has taken wonderful care of our dog Marty for over 3 years now. Nicole is super responsible and reliable and always ensures that Marty is safe and having the best time. She always wipes his paws after rainy walks before he comes into the house and his water bowl is always refilled. Marty met his best friend Smokey as part of the Walk Hike Play pack and I've never met 2 dogs who have more fun together. I highly highly highly recommend Nicole and Walk Hike Play to anyone in the Kirkland area who is looking for peace of mind with their dogs or cats. read more

Our pup has been with Nicole for the last three years. I can't even begin to write about our experience. If you have any doubts, don't. She cares about each of her pups as if they were her own. Abby and Nicole have been a crucial part of our pup's life and he is a completely different dog because of it. We love and trust her and consider her and Abby an extended part of our family. Thank you Abby and Nicole! read more

My husband and I took a 10 day road trip and we were very nervous about leaving our precious fur-baby, Marley. She is a spoiled 6 year old cat. We heard about Nicole and sought out her petsitting services. We met with Nicole and instantly felt good about her, she was very warm. Nicole was also incredibly sweet with Marley and asked some really great questions. While on our trip we got the funniest text messages from "Marley." It was a very sweet gesture on Nicole's part to loan Marley her phone so that she could send us photos of her antics. We have continued to utilize Walk Hike Play for pet sitting services. I would recommend Nicole to anyone with fur-kids! read more

I highly recommend Walk Hike Play. Nicole (owner) has been walking our crazy lab for several years now and I really can't say enough positive things about our experience with her or her services. Nicole consistently shows that she truly cares about all the dogs she cares for, as well as their owners. She is flexible, ultra responsible, hard working, fun, kind, and a real lover of animals. My dog loves her and I trust Nicole immensely. read more

Hands down the best dog walker! Nicole treats my Arthur like one of her own. I recommend Walk Hike Play to everyone I know!

I hate leaving my two cats home when I'm away. I worry about someone leaving the door open, or them getting sick. Nicole watched my two cats over the holiday, and I was completely worry free. She sent pictures of her playing with them and even brought toys to play with them. I will use Wike Hike Play the next time I need to leave my babies home. read more

It is not possible to recommend Nicole highly enough. She has been taking my two dogs for walks, hikes and adventures three days a week for more than two years. They adore her and her sweet Abby, as do I. To say she speaks dog is an understatement. My dogs have a yard, a dog door and outings with me on non-Nicole days. But Christmas morning comes three times a week, with dog friends. Nicole often sends pictures or videos from the park or trail and always leaves a note about the day's events. People are surprised that my oldest is over 14. I credit exercise and social life with younger dogs. Nicole is supremely reliable and always willing to take them out on days when I can't. If she ever moved, I would have to move to that place. read more

WE miss Nicole!!! We are so happy that she has made a happy new home but South Pasadena misses her. Nicole is amazing and RELIABLE. I never for one minute hesitated to hand her my dogs lead. Our dog would get so excited to see her and have the most wonderful adventure. I would be missing him and a lovely happy photo of him would pop up on my phone. Nicole is not only wonderful with animals she is a really lovely person. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Nicole is hands-down the most amazing dog walker you will ever find. She's reliable, trustworthy, and AMAZING with dogs. I'm so very grateful that we found Nicole. Just today I had to be away from the house all day, so I asked Nicole to walk our sweet girl two times. Not only did she walk her two times, feed her lunch, and give her lots of loves, she even sent me videos of my sweet girl sitting and waiting for her meal! My untrained puppy was sitting and WAITING for her meal. Yep, Nicole is even teaching my puppy to be a better doggy while she's with her. And then if it couldn't get any better, Nicole had an amazing little puppy walk and play party with my dog and two others today. My girl was SO HAPPY! Nicole is so far above any expectation I ever had for a dog walker - she is simply the best!! read more

Nicole was like a member of our family! We will miss her so much! I feel so lucky to have met her when my little Dixie was a baby. She went above and beyond to work on Dixie's development and maturity. I could count on her 100%! Any doggie would be lucky to know her!! read more

I adore Nicole and am thrilled to have found her services! Even though I work at home, there are times when I'll be away and my pup needs some mid-day attention. We used to take my dog to a local daycare, but after she got hurt (and the day care didn't care), we started looking for more personal services for our dog. Nicole has been a great addition. Her communications are always fast, and she gives great customer service. I love that she offers online scheduling for walks as well as cat sitting. Every visit includes photos of our pup on her walk, or our cat when we're away. read more

I am so lucky to know Nicole. She has helped my family tremendously by watching over our senior pets when we go out. She is super trustworthy and dependable. She loves animals and it shows! I have tried other pet sitters and it just isnt the same as Walk Hike Play. I slimply don't worry when Nicole is pet sitting for us. And that is saying a lot! Nicole will be greatly missed when she moves to Washington! read more

If Yelp had 10 stars, that is what I'd give Nicole (Walk Hike Play). Nicole is incredibly conscientious, knowledgeable, caring and responsible. My two dogs are litter mates but have very different personalities. Nicole zeroes in on the personality of each and every dog. My dogs always have a great time on the walks, which I can verify by the texts and pictures Nicole takes of them during and after every walk. I was simply heartbroken when she told me she was leaving the L.A. area for Seattle. Lucky Seattle. We will miss her more than I can say. I really envy her new clients. Nicole is any pet owner's dream. read more

Courteous, professional and caring, Nicole is as good as it gets. We totally trust our two Great Danes and cat to her care.
