Job Types: Full-time
Pay: $58,000.00 – $110,000.00 per yearThank you kind stranger, for leaving me a gift of your dog’s poop on the sidewalk in front of my house, perfectly placed so that I’d step in it when I took out the trash.
Your generosity gave me the opportunity to have to clean the sidewalk so the guests we have coming over later today wouldn’t have the same experience that l I did. And instead of having to be in the kitchen cooking with my wife, you allowed me to be outside for a half an hour scraping and scrubbing and smelling the aroma of whatever your dog didn’t quite digest.
So my new year’s wish for you, kind stranger, is that every time you walk your dog you trip and fall; that some other kind stranger leaves you a treasure similar to what you left me on a weekly basis (hopefully bigger and smellier); and that at some point your dog realizes what kind of person you really are, bites you on the leg, runs away, and is adopted by someone that will clean up after them.
We are hiring experienced professional dog walkers. Can you walk larger dogs or dogs that need a professional handler? If so, consider working with a company that supports individual growth, empowerment and healthy communication. We are hiring hourly ($19.97 hour + average Mileage) or Independent Contractors ($20-$24 hour w/o drive time). The rate depends on your ability, experience and availability. If you have your own Company or work as an IC (work with Rover etc.) we will pay a higher rate per walk. You must carry your own personal insurance.
We have immediate openings for WEST SEATTLE Weekday dog walkers. These positions work well for someone looking for part time work 2-4 hours a day. This specific position is for experienced dog walkers who can handle larger dogs or dogs that need more focused walks. All CTH Dog clients are human friendly and vetted for staff. All walks are private leashed walks in their neighborhood. Some dog walks are more than one dog if they live together.
We are looking for honest, driven, self-motivated independent individuals. Our software allows for easy scheduling, invoicing, and communication with clients and healthy boundaries for employees. We are an LGBTQI owned and operated business with a high sense of integrity. Please apply if you feel you would add something positive to our amazing team.

What our team says about the company.‘Close To Home has been an amazing place for me after leaving a high-stress job. Being outside, exercising and connecting with animals is the perfect antidote for career burnout and has helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety. Plus, the miles I’m walking have conditioned me enough so I am able to do all the hikes that seemed out of reach previously.’
Salary negotiable Depending on experience and ability. Let’s talk
Equal opportunity employer
We have become a complacent city, waiting for the worst to happen before taking action. What has happened to proactiveness and innovation regarding our growing population and lack of proper infrastructure to handle it?
I’m referring to streets that are still too unfriendly to bikers and pedestrians alike. The new Delridge? It’s another speeder’s haven, with plenty of ways to bypass those they feel are slow (even when those people are just following the limits set). I see it every single day walking my pup, people going 45+ in the bus lane to pass, people riding up on others, coming within inches, and distracted drivers on their cell phones cruising, unaware. What’s the point of setting a speed limit of 25 and having distracted driving laws if the police, buses and other vehicles are all allowed to go unchecked with their reckless behavior?
It’s not just Delridge, it’s within our neighborhoods, near our parks and schools. Every single day I walk the area (or even when I drive it), I’m faced with having to dodge these unsafe drivers and it’s now at a point that I call the police instantly to report. This past summer, I reached out to the city because the Delridge Playfield area, on all sides, have these reckless drivers blowing through intersections/stop signs/crosswalks, jumping over the “speed bumps” (if you’d call them that) and Genessee has numerous cars coming down the hill well over 40MPH with very few recognizing that there’s a park and crosswalks (even though there’s clear signage). The city’s response? “No mitigation is needed in this area, all work has been completed.” Not even a week after that, I witnessed a pedestrian get hit at the corner of Genessee and Delridge. Reached back out to the city with this info and was never given a response.
I do understand that the police have a lot on their plates and can’t catch every single person, but I have yet to see anyone pulled over in the 3-mile radius I walk. Instead, I see complacency, especially when I witness police cars going just as fast through these areas. The most recent biker to get killed by a hit-and-run driver is yet another instance that has encouraged me to speak up because it could be me, my dog, a friend or a neighbor who is the next victim in this vicious recurrence.
It is beyond frustrating to walk these streets and feel scared that I have a very real chance of being taken out by one of these reckless drivers. Just today and the second time this week, a person going well over 40MPH approached an intersection myself and my pup were already in, and nearly hit us. Their response was to flip me off and attempt to speed away. Unaware that I had gotten their plate and then saw that they went around the block again, I immediately called 911 with the description and plate #. While on the phone, she decided to confront me and ironically made it clear she wasn’t paying attention and did not see us in the intersection (obviously, as she nearly hit us and a car that was also joining the roundabout). She attempted to pit blame on me, for walking too fast in the crosswalk. WHAT? Have to roll my eyes to that.
The reason I am on here is because I am a truly concerned commoner, who loves this city and doesn’t want to keep seeing stories of complacency, usually headlined with the death of a fellow citizen who should be able to safely walk/bike our streets/neighborhoods.
What needs to change first is simple, consistent patrols AND accountability being shown to the public by pulling them over and citing them. Post the numbers of people pulled over for speeding at an intersection, skipping a stop sign or not stopping for a pedestrian/biker. Show that this behavior is not ok.
Next is a change in how we design streets. Why do we say we’re changing something to the benefit of peds/bikers, when streets like Delridge, Flauntleroy and others are insanely unsafe, even with the changes they’ve made. Speed cameras are an expensive option but one that could generate not only a revenue stream but more importantly, accountability to those breaking the laws of the road in areas the police cannot constantly be at. The speed bumps installed should actually slow people down to the recommended speed, rather than just providing a minor obstacle that usually does nothing to slow them down. Crosswalks on these major arterials should have crossing lights to allow people to notify drivers to stop (I NEVER cross Delridge unless I’m at a protected light because it is rare that anyone is going slow enough to stop for those waiting to cross).
Lastly, is education. Consistently provide info to residents so they know the rules, clearly and can be held accountable easily if they break those rules. Require that everyone pass a written test every 3 years and if they don’t, then they now must partake in a class. Make it difficult for those with multiple instances of reckless behavior to have or maintain a license.
We can’t continue complacency when it comes to people being able to live in safe environments without the dangers of those behind the wheel of vehicles. Being a proactive city means cutting back on deaths/injuries amongst pedestrians and bikers, and some of these ideas are ways to change that.
If you are not a biker/pedestrian, understand that you are behind something that is 100% controlled by YOU. Those walking or biking should absolutely be equally aware of their surroundings but know that your vehicle is capable of hurting/killing someone, not the other way around. The best thing each of us can do is tell our friends and family to slow down, speeding is not going to get them anywhere that much quicker statistically and IF something bad were to happen due to the reckless behavior, they’ve now just ruined someone else’s life and slowed themselves down even more.
We need to come together as not just West Seattle, but Seattle residents as a whole to find the better, more proactive approach to keeping everyone safe on our streets and within our neighborhoods.
Here’s to a safer 2024,
ConcernedCommoner

Topic: Hometown Holiday?
Christmas and all of the other holidays were in the past a homecoming, a main street celebration, a family and old friends time and experience full of comfort and food for the soul. Unfortunately, it has become nothing more than a soulless internet holiday, taken over by the usual soulless economic dictators. Simple gifting and family togetherness is not what these dictators want for you. They want your soul. Holiday insecurities and mental illnesses did not exist before the takeover of our winter traditions.
