“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”

About: I have been around and caring for dogs for most of my life because either I or a family member has always had one. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at the Humane Society, where I interact with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. I’m currently attending dog training school, which has helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, leash handling, basic commands, and positive training techniques. I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care they need while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, favorite things, fears, triggers, and what helps them feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their care. If you’re happy with my service, a written review is always greatly appreciated and helps future pet parents feel more comfortable booking with me. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare throughout the week. My availability may vary by day, but I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines. Feel free to message me about the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I have available. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.

About: Our family has had pets since we were kids. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I lost my two old pups a few years ago after a solid 17 year run, so I'm experienced with age ranges from pup to elder pup and dogs from small to large. I work full time from home, so there will always be someone available to take dogs out to use the restroom or for a midday walk. We have a smaller fenced yard with garden and plenty of room indoors for your dog to find a comfortable spot. Ready to give ample walks to burn off excess energy for those hyper pups. I'll keep your pup safe and treat them like the family they are.

“Once again, Emma to the rescue. With less than 24 hours notice she made time to take our pup on a long walk while I was away on family business. As before, helpful and great communication!”

Steven P.

“We love Ivy and so does our Brewer! Ivy is very trustworthy, reliable, and communicative! She’s a life saver as we work nights and has been a blessing in brewers routine. She’s also very accommodating in scheduling, which has been nice as this night schedule has been new to us!”

Kendra W.

“Andrhu is so great with our girls! He plays so well with our social dog so that she is worn out and happy when we get home. For our shy dog, he gives gentle attention and praise, working to form a bond of trust. He was also so thoughtful to stow our Amazon delivery safely out of sight. He really is the best!”

Craig P.

“Nathaly was great with my dogs. She helped me in a jam and came over same day to walk them. She was super communicative and the boys were nice and tired when they returned. Highly recommend.”

About: I have watched dogs and walked dogs for family friends since I was about 14-15 and have always taken great care of them, making sure they also get to play with me or interact with me before I leave the home. I do competitive horseback riding and have learned how to treat an animal right and take care of one through this. I have watched my grandma's older dog that needs medication 3-4 times a day and I have made sure she's gotten her meds on time every single time. It's the most important thing to me to make sure the animals are happy and content even when their owners aren't home. I work full time, my schedule is monday-friday 9am-6pm with a hour lunch. I am able to do drop ins or walks mid day on my lunch depending on the distance. Since I have experience with horses and farm dogs I feel that I’m great with control when walking, I also enjoy just hanging out with pets even if it’s while watching a movie

About: Hello, I provide flexible and reliable care for your fur baby! I have 2 very amazing kids ages 17 and 12. I was employed at Doozy Dog Club taking care of multiple (sometimes over 60) dogs at night by myself!!!) I am very detail oriented as I know every fur baby has a different schedule a different diet and some even need medication/vitamins with their meals. I love trying to teach dogs new tricks and work on their behavior. I will always provide a detailed summary of each day with pictures!!! Being as though I am a mother I do work from home during the week but I am able to take breaks and tend to your little one. Should you have any other questions or have considered moving forward I am only a Bark away! I work from home so I’m available for walks and potty breaks and your baby will never be left unattended. That means lots of playtime, training, and belly rubs! I currently live in a 3 bedroom Townhome! I am able to keep pups separated if need be. We have 2 dog parks in my complex for potty breaks and we love going to Fort Steilacoom Park as well as Chamber Bay for some extra fun ♥️

About: I've been an avid animal lover all my life and have had pets (everything from dogs and cats, to rescued dwarf hamsters and injured wildlife) since I was a kid. My parents weren't thrilled when I ran a pet rescue at age 7, but it stayed with me, working with Wildlife rehabilitators well into college. I hung up my "official" rescue hat to raise kids and work in corporate but continue to care for pets (my own 1 dog & 2 cats) and enjoy meeting new furbaby friends frequently. I have a flexible work schedule (self employed holistic coaching) so add in pet care as my schedule and interest permits. I'm not one for sitting idle, so love filling up time with meaningful activities including pet care. I consider each pet's needs and personalities and make sure to care for them from that perspective. Whether it is an anxious pup who needs to feel safe, a confident cat who needs attention at her own will, or a rambunctious pup who needs to be run, I love it all.

About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid —cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own! I work weird hours and days so I’m available at times most people aren’t! If you’re looking for someone that will be in town during holidays, that would be me! I understand every pet is different and might take time to adjust. I care about sticking to a schedule and keeping the pets feeling cared about regarding routine, habits, medications, and whatever else they might need. I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was a kid growing up on a farm- cats, dogs and more. I have experience with a variety of animals and love taking care of them like they’re my own!

About: I have had dogs my whole entire life. I most recently moved cross country from TX to WA with 3 cats and my perfect one eyed dog Sophie. I have medication administration experience with others’ dogs as well as my own, and I have been trusted to watch people’s pets and houses for many many years. I am still finding my roots here in WA and I believe being able to meet and treat your pets like my own will bring me to feel more at home. I am between jobs currently so I have very little schedule limitations. I currently have no overnight house sitting stays listed, but that can be changed if it works for both of us! I love getting to know new areas by walking around and when I have a dog with me that’s familiar with the area, even better. It’s like having my own little tour guide. I can walk, feed, water, brush, play, etc. with your babies. I am currently not able to have any pets stay at my apartment, but I am open to house sitting or doing overnights if it works out for us both.

About: I’m a Samoyed owner with hands-on experience caring for large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with strong pullers, long walks, high-energy play, feeding, basic routines, and keeping dogs safely supervised. I understand that every dog has their own personality and boundaries, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine and preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of exercise for dogs who need it! I’m usually available 7 days a week after 2 PM. Same-day bookings are welcome! Please send your request at least 4 hours before your preferred start time. My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out if you have any special timing needs. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including preferred walking routes, leash and harness routines, interactions with other dogs, and any behaviors or triggers I should watch for. I keep dogs leashed throughout walks unless specifically instructed otherwise in a safe and appropriate area. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during or after each walk.

“Dylan takes care of our Ladybug as if she was her own dog! Highly recommend, 10 stars!”

Nick B.

“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”

Brooke & Giovanna S.

“Rachel is absolutely fantastic with the dogs and very professional in what she does. She got all of the energy out from my puppy so much so that he wanted to sit on the walk!”

Amber H.

“Raeven is clearly gifted! She is one of the good ones. She is truly a dog whisperer. My dog, Gabby, absolutely loves her like I have never seen her behave with another person save for me and my husband. It makes my heart smile. I know she is being well taken care of and super happy. Raeven is communicative, sends pics, and clearly cares about each animal like they belong to her personally.”

About: I’ve cared for pets (dogs and cats) since grade school and throughout adulthood. Nearly 2 years ago, my precious 8-year-old “blue” Beagle got called to doggie heaven very quickly after a lung cancer diagnosis. Although devastated by the loss of my beloved pooch, I have so much more love to give fur babies. Sadly, I’m familiar with end of life care as well as giving medications and special foods. I have 2 awesome kids ages 12 and 7, and two young beagles who are quite silly and social. I work from home and can be flexible with scheduling around the needs of your pets in my home, or in yours. I’m also available for drop-in feedings, snuggles, play time, and walks. My number one priority is making sure my furry guests are loved, cared for, and having a great time! My heart is full of love for each and every pet I take care of. I pay particular attention to the all specific instructions and of course follow the cues of the precious fur babies themselves!

About: I have had three dogs and I have been taking care of them since I was ten. Friends and family also rely on me to take care of their pets. I am a full time college student and self employed so I always have time to take care of pets. It fits into my schedule perfectly I have a fenced in yard. I walk my dogs daily together, one 70 pound dog and a 40 pound dog. My dogs are indoor dogs, but they spend a lot of time outside.
