About Green Lake

What pet sitting in Green Lake actually looks like

Green Lake is the Pacific NW's most famous dog-walking park: a 2.8-mile paved loop around an actual lake, runners and dog-walkers in equal numbers any hour the rain pauses. The neighborhood around it (between Aurora and Latona) is a mix of older bungalows and newer townhouses; Petme sitter density is highest within 6 blocks of the lake.

Green Lake sitters are runners, hikers, athletic-by-default. The booking mix favors active medium-to-large dogs: Labradors, Vizslas, Border Collies, Goldendoodles needing real mileage. Many sitters factor 1 or 2 daily Green Lake loops into the standard rate, no premium. Woodland Park's shaded trails are the rainy-day backup.
