“First experience with Rover was wonderful! Typically rely on friends to care for my girl but just didn’t work out this time - was nervous despite hearing good things about Rover, but super happy I booked with Kayla! Super communicative and reassuring that all my girl’s needs were met :-) would absolutely rebook with her!”

About: I’m a retired professional who enjoys staying active while providing dependable, compassionate care for pets. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, administering routine medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s and owner’s unique needs and routine. I also believe communication is essential, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your pet’s stay. Pet sitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most rewarding part of the experience. If you’re looking for a mature, reliable sitter who will provide exceptional care and give you peace of mind, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members. My schedule is flexible; especially with advance notice. Whether it’s walks and potty breaks or overnight sitting I can usually accommodate any schedule, including the holidays. Although typically we will not board at our home, on occasion we’ll make exceptions depending on the breed and temperament. We have two Shih Tzu’s that are extremely playful and nice with other pets. In your home, I will take care of your pets as you would.

“Megan is wonderful. I can always rely on her. She is working with my pup on leash training. And she definitely brightens my dogs day 🙌🏻🌼 Thank you Megan for being an amazing dog walker!”

About: I grew up around dogs, from the moment I was born till now. Small to the largest they come, I am comfortable handling and caring for them all! I worked in animal husbandry at a major zoo and aquarium, so I am quite in tune to animal welfare needs! I have raised and cared for feral cats even too. I have worked in animal husbandry professionally for many years at a zoo and aquarium. I grew up with many dogs and several rodents even too so I am quite comfortable with all sorts of behaviors and demeanors! I am active and ready to engage with the animals in my care, with a variety of stimulus from play to exercise! Whether it’s just a quick check in, feeding, play time, or overnight stays, I am ready to provide the best care for your pet at a moments notice! I am extremely flexible with schedules and not worried at all about spending more time if needed attending to their behaviors and giving them attention. I pride myself on trust and love which goes both ways, for humans and animals! The relationship between you, the owner, and myself, is just as valuable as that between your pet and me! I promise, them and I will be best friends from the first visit on.

“Savina did a great job walking our dog while we were out for the day. We came home to a worn out and happy pup! We had peace of mind knowing Savina was watching over our baby. We recommend Savina and will book her for future walks!”

About: I currently have a little guy who is known in our neighborhood as spunky, playful and a cuddle bug! My partner and I work from home, so we are available all day to care for your pet. We love a good walk, and pride ourselves on being attentive to the little ones. My partner and I work from home, I am a mental health therapist and she is a home designer. I work about 4 hours a day Mon-Thur with Fridays off, so regular walks and playtime are a part of our routine, as well as lounging and resting with the pups. Our community would say we spoil our little guy! Toys, treats, outdoor lounging are a part of our routine. We have a fenced yard, with opportunities for exploration. I am familiar with the neighborhood, and live walking distance from the harbor. We have mapped the local vets and emergency locations, and living walking distance from Wilco and Lucky Dog in case your pup needs some extra attention.

About: I have always had animals in my life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, mice, hedgehogs, fish, and guinea pigs. I have also pet sat for other people and understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently have two dogs of my own, Dochi and Madrona, who are both Chihuahua and Shih Tzu mixes. Dochi is 1 year old and Madrona is 2 years old. I care for them like they are family, and I would give that same level of love and attention to every pet I care for. I have experience with dogs of different ages and breeds and enjoy getting to know each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, a fun day of play, or overnight care, I will make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I am available Friday through Sunday and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I am a college student, so my availability is mainly on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am able to provide care during the weekend and can work with pet owners to find a schedule that works well for both of us. I offer dog walking, potty breaks, daycare, and overnight pet sitting at my home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they can feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know how much pets mean to their families because my own dogs are a huge part of my life. I will treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can safely get fresh air, play, and enjoy some outdoor time. I also have a dog crate and a dog fence enclosure available, so I can provide a safe, secure space when a pet needs some quiet time or extra supervision. I have two dogs of my own, Dochi and Madrona, who are both Chihuahua and Shih Tzu mixes. They are friendly and used to being around other animals. I understand that every dog is different, though, so I will always take introductions slowly and pay attention to each pet’s comfort level. I have experience with dogs of different ages and breeds and will follow your pet’s routine, instructions, and individual needs. My goal is to provide a clean, safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet can feel comfortable while you’re away. I will always treat your pets like family and make sure they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve.

About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.

About: I've been an animal lover and care taker for years. I am a homeschooling mama of two children and have taken care of/trained dogs specifically for the past five years so I know the discipline that is necessary to maintain their wellbeing. I am open Tuesdays-Thursdays 10am to 230pm. Mondays after 3pm. Weekends will vary about every other week but I am definitely open to those days as well. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time due to living in an apartment complex at this time. As a pet walker, I am very respectful in places that do not belong to me. The ONLY focus is the animals that I am caring for while completing the directions that have been given to me. I am open to additional tasks, like feeding, affection and clean up if necessary.

About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that

“My dog Teddy had a great time with Noelle! She was on time, friendly, and very accommodating. I highly recommend Noelle.”

“I am very please with Ethan. We are new to the area and as such was a big transition for my dog. Ethan was very willing to accommodate her needs. He Is willing to work with and reinforce behavior training while walking. I am super grateful to have discovered such an nice and accommodating young man.”

About: Growing up my family had a yellow lab and many members of my extended family also had dogs. As I got older and became independent, I would dog sit for my families’ pets. The dog sizes range from small dogs to bigger dogs and at various stages of their lives. I now live with my boyfriend who has a Great Pyrenees and a Goldendoodle. When dog sitting, I enjoy taking them out on walks, playing in the yard, and cuddling. I just moved to Tacoma and am still job hunting, and while that requires a lot of time, my days are free and flexible to meet you and your dog’s needs. I am good at following directions and can adapt to your dog. I have taken care of a senior dog where he required medicine at meal times. I enjoy taking walking with the dogs and giving them lots of attention.

About: Hi, my name is Genesis and I absolutely adore all kinds of animals. I have owned dogs and cats since I was a child, and I also worked at and managed a kennel for two years. I am comfortable with all sizes of pets! I am well experienced with feeding, handling, and medicating many different dogs and cats. I am currently a student at Grand Canyon University, majoring in Biology with an Emphasis in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I plan on going to Vet school after I graduate! I am currently available every day except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can always be there when your pet needs! I currently offer drop-ins and walks for your fur babies! I will always care for your animals depending on their needs and the owner's instructions.

About: I have over 30 years of experience with animals. I am available to check-in, play, feed, bath, go on walks, and even boarding, Monday through Friday in the evenings, and anytime on the weekends. I'm available after 4 pm Monday through Friday and all weekend. I am flexible and can work with you, if needed. I just need a little advance notice to rearrange my schedule. I have a fenced yards and a doggie door for easy access to my side yard, and my front yard is also fenced. There are multiple dog parks and plenty of areas,parks, and trails to go on walks in University Place.

About: We take time to get to know each client and organize our space and time around your pet's unique needs. We are not a large boarding facility and we only accept a very small number of pets at a time. As a result, we're able to follow the pace, routine and needs of each dog and cat in our care, helping to keep anxiety low while ensuring they receive enrichment, proper exercise and plenty of snuggles. Your pet will be provided care and socialization without becoming overwhelmed or lost in the pack! I'm currently a stay at home mom to human and fur babies and married to a firefighter who is also home frequently. Aside from the occasional errand, your pet will have constant companionship, interaction, walks, potty breaks and snuggles. Most pets are never alone for the duration of their stay. Being away from home can be hard for pets! Whether boarding overnight for a few days or just a work day away, dogs and cats stay as close to their home routine as possible while in my care. They'll receive plenty of play and stimulation to prevent boredom and have unlimited access to a fully fenced yard and frequent walks to be well exercised. If they just need someone to stop in, they'll receive care and snuggles and you'll have the reassurance that that they're being well taken care of and have everything they need while you're away from them. Your fur baby will be treated like one of the family when they are in my care!

“Michele was awesome! She was quick to respond and great at communicating. I enjoyed the photos she sent of my dog during her walk. She was even willing to drive my dog to a super awesome park. Highly recommend!”
