“We love Rylie! She is so great with the pups and they are always so excited to see her. She is very reliable, always on time and great at communicating. I have never used rover so she has definitely set the bar high. I 10000x recommend her for any of your pet needs!”

“Big heart and very patient with our extra large puppy who has lots of energy! Reliable and detailed in following directions for meds and our handling preferences. Our pup loves Tracy and we feel confident leaving her in Tracy's care. Great job!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have raised and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for many years including Great Danes and Mastiffs. I am very comfortable with giant breeds, strong personalities, and dogs that require confident, experienced handling but equally as comfortable with smaller/toy breeds as well. In addition to dogs, I have hands on experience caring for cats, chickens, domestic birds, turkeys, tortoises, goats, and ducks. Family and friends have trusted me for years to care for their beloved pets and farm animals while they are away. Whether your pet is high-energy, laid-back, senior, or a giant breed, they will be cared for like one of my own. Your pet will not be left alone for extended periods and will receive regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and attention. We live on a fully fenced spacious 10-acre property designed with dogs in mind. • Three separate fenced dog yards • Shade and protection from the elements • Plenty of room to run and play safely • Splash pools and room to romp and explore Dogs sleep indoors in crates or large kennels with elevated beds to ensure comfort, safety, and proper rest unless other wise requested by owner. Safety, supervision, and structured care are priorities in our home. 🐶 What Sets Me Apart ✔ Experienced with giant and powerful breeds ✔ Comfortable with multi-dog households ✔ Experience with farm animals and exotics ✔ Structured, clean, and safe environment ✔ Large, secure outdoor play areas I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment so you can travel with peace of mind. With 10 fully fenced acres and structured care times your pet will receive consistent exercise, feeding, supervision, and plenty of one-on-one attention as part of our family’s everyday life. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my home are supervised, never left unattended outdoors, and enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe play. We have 3 different fully fenced play yards to provide plenty of stretching and play even for those dogs that may not get along with others. I provide structured routines, separate spaces for rest if needed, and slow introductions to ensure everyone feels secure. Clean water, comfortable sleeping areas, and plenty of enrichment and affection are always included. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their individual needs and temperament. 🐾

“Maizie just loves her walks with Brooklyn. Especially likes it when her sister can tag along. Brooklyn does a great job with both the girls!”

About: I've been a pet owner and I currently help my 5 adult kids with all their fur babies. Currently I live with my daughters 10 yr old great Dane named Lincoln. But when I'm in North Tacoma I help with a 13 yr old Australian Shepard named Dot. 3 yr old Corgi named kenzo. 9 yr old terrier named Kona. 1yr old terrier named Mocha. I am a full time grandma of a granddaughter who'll be 2 in Nov 18th. I will and can do house sitting during the week but it had to include allowing me to bring my granddaughter. She's great with dogs and cats. The whole family has them in various breeds and sizes. Otherwise I am available for weekends Fridays Saturdays Sundays possibly Monday if there's no school. My daughter is a elementary teacher so I was available all summer but now that she's back to work I have limited house sitting days but still open for pet check ins. I am detail oriented. Military brat and former US ARMY vet. So I like a schedule and instructions to follow. It's your fur child so I'm here to help you in anyway I can

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

About: I have always had a dog since I was a kid, when I was a teenager I used to walk dogs around my neighborhood. I also volunteered for an animal rescue. Now, I work for an animal urgent care and have experience with both dogs and cats, as well as own my own dog and cat. I'm currently working full time, so for boarding your pet may be alone while I'm at work unless they are kennel trained they can go to work with me. I will be taking them on walks before and after work. I work 10 hour shifts Monday through Thursday. I have one dog who is young and loves to play all day! I can kennel your pet if needed, as well as my own. I have fenced land for the dogs to run and play.

“Madison is great! She’s been walking Cupcake for the last few weeks and it’s a great help. My pup looks forward to it and waits for her by the door.”

“Nicholas was great with our dog! They are always on time, easily reachable, and commutative. Subie (my dog) looks forward to his walks with Nicholas and I feel stress free knowing Subie is in good hands and we have someone reliable to work with!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a love for caring for them! I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, fish, and even some less traditional pets—I’ve taken care of my sister’s hedgehog, too! I also volunteer with the Humane Society, where I spend time walking and caring for dogs. I’ve fostered animals as well, so I understand how important patience, attention, and making each pet feel safe and comfortable can be. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’d love to care for them and treat them like one of my own! I am a recent college graduate who wants to stay active by walking dogs and make some extra cash! I want to help out people who are working and can’t take their dogs out during the day! My dogs at home are very needy and spoiled, so I’m used to giving my dogs all the attention they want and all the walks they want. I will be willing to take them on walks, and hangout with them during the day!

“Laura is super nice and handled my velvet well. Sent me some cute photos :) would recommend her to anyone”

About: I've been caring for dogs for 10 years, from family pets to neighbors' and friends' dogs. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, and I love long walks, playtime, and making sure every pet feels safe and happy. As the co-owner of a local window washing business, I know how important it is to show up on time and treat your home with respect. I also work in senior care, so I'm patient, attentive, and used to looking after others with real care. I'll send photo updates during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be treated like family! My schedule varies with my jobs and classes, but it's flexible. I'll always confirm availability ahead of time and work around your plans for walks, visits, or overnights. Your pet's safety comes first. I keep dogs leashed, double-check doors and gates, and follow your routine exactly. I'll treat your home with respect and send photo updates.

About: I have tons of experience caring for and working with many different breeds! I have a 12 year old dog myself, healthy as a horse and full of life 😊 I understand dog care very well, and I have all the love to give! I have recently moved to Washington from out of state, and my schedule is quite open right now! This gives me the flexibility to take on pet care responsibilities quickly and easily. At my home I have a large fenced yard (half an acre) and one sweet older dog that plays very well with others! If your dog requires time away from other dogs I can accommodate that as well, and keep them separate. When caring for your fur baby at your home I will follow whatever rules you have there for them, ie crating, walks, playtime in the yard, etc.

About: I have always loved animals ever since I could remember. Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me to help check-in, feed and walk their pets. I am a full-time nurse with one day off each week that allows me to walk your pets. I have most weekends available as well. I have a 1 year pup of my own and we love walking and exploring. I will take the upmost care of you animal and always be aware of my surroundings to keep your pup safe. I will never push your dog to do more then they can handle.

About: I have retail and construction and fast food experience and I love pets I love dogs they are so cute and would love to meet new pets Currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time to babysit pets dogs or other kinds of pets like fish, or cats or hamsters . I’m OK with either coming to your house or watching them at my house whatever works with you works with me as long as we’re on the same page

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life — my mom has always had dogs and my dad has always had cats, so I’ve learned how to care for and connect with all kinds of pets from a young age. Right now, I have a playful kitten of my own, and my mom has two dogs that I help care for whenever I visit. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to each pet’s unique routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for exactly how their owner would want. You can always count on me for reliable care, consistent updates, and genuine love for every furry friend I look after. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life — I have a kitten at home and spend time with my mom’s dogs regularly, so feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles are built into my routine. My work schedule is flexible enough to allow plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Whether it’s morning visits or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and bedtime — so everything feels familiar. I take extra care to keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always communicate with owners so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I take pride in following every detail of your pet’s care instructions — from feeding schedules to favorite walks and play routines. In your home, I make sure everything stays tidy and that your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I always provide updates and communication so you know your pets are happy, healthy, and cared for exactly how you’d want.

“I cannot recommend Tanaisa enough. She takes such great care of our labradoodle. He is high energy and loves lots of attention. She gives him exactly what he wants! Lots of exercise, treats, and love. It’s clear how much she loves and cares for animals. We are so impressed and happy with the care she provides for our boy! She goes above and beyond and we’re so grateful to her!”

About: I’ve been loving on four-leggeds for as long as I can remember—and I’ve meant every second of it. Over the past 15 years, I’ve raised two mastiffs (a Fila and a Cane Corso), both topping 180 lbs—so I’m very comfortable with big personalities and even bigger pups. My heart dog, Gauge, lived to 15, and losing him last March felt like losing a piece of myself. Caring for animals has always felt like a privilege to me. Earning their trust? That’s everything. I know every home has its own rules—whether your dog is crate-trained or couch-spoiled—and I’ll always follow your preferences to a T. That said… dogs here are treated like family. Think cozy, calm, and lots of attention. I’m a little (okay, very) obsessed with making sure they feel safe, happy, and completely at home. I’m fully prepared with all the accoutrements (think toys, high-quality treats, etc) to make your babies stay feel like their home away from home. And I simply can’t wait! If I’ve been hired to take care of someone’s fur baby, then that is my number 1 priority. I build my day around the dog’s needs. I make time for what’s necessary, and being a long time dog owner myself, having dogs in the house just comes naturally. Walks happen daily with or without pups around, so having a dog to join me would just be an added *major bonus. Potty breaks and special care requests are something I just tend to as needed. I care for pets in either my home or my clients home to my clients specifications. I do have a fully fenced back yard with a large grassy area. There’s an off-leash dog park right down the street from me that’s never very busy. I’d love to be able to take pups to the park. I also walk everyday and will be taking the dog on walks with me. I have a 5 year old son who loves animals and loves to help out with ‘the chores’ that come along with animal care.

“Rebecca was very friendly and both my dogs loved her!”
