“Highly recommend Bailey and Kyle! Today was the first time he’s been to a doggy day care, and it was so worth it! Our pup made fast friends with their pup, and the pictures we received at the end were adorable! There was lots of love and tons of playtime! He will be back!”

Will be booking again!”

And a super bonus is she is an expert with German Shepherds! Truly a gem in Tacoma!!!! I highly recommend her services!!!”

“Matt was great with my little guy. He has a large yard for dogs to run and play. My job ran increadibly late the day Matt watched my dog and he was kind enough to let him stay overnight and got up super early for my initial drop off. Will definitely use him again next time I am in need. Thanks Matt!”
“Elizabeth was great. Mr Wiggles had a full day of fun! Got him home and he went straight to bed ? Kept me updated with pictures throughout the day.”
About: I've also had dogs for most of my life, but I think I really gained a love and understanding with my own dog I got 2.5 years ago as a puppy. Raising a puppy has given me a whole new appreciation for dog training and having a well-behaved puppy! I haven't done much senior care of dogs, but I have worked in human Healthcare and always had a special appreciation of older patients who required certain care, so it's not outside of my realm of comfort to provide extra care. I also understand that when training dogs you need to maintain consistency and as long as your commendas/needs are expressed, I will uphold those standards for you. I am not currently working so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to provide care. Currently I manage my own dog with walks, food, potty breaks, and enrichment every day. When my husband is gone for work I manage the feeding, enrichment, and litter box cleaning for our cat as well. I have a fenced yard and access to dogs parks as well as live in a quiet neighborhood for adequate walks. My home does have stairs that are required for access, but we have lots of beds and couches for pups to get comfy on. I also have plenty of toys and treats for enrichment. We have a large koi pond in the yard, so dogs staying with us do need to have good enough recall to be called away from the pond, they should not want to jump in at sight. In the client's home I'm willing to play/provide enrichment, training, and walks in the neighborhood, or whatever the normal routine is.
“Kana and her husband were so kind and helpful. Their home has has an ideal set up for pups, specifically small dogs, to explore, play, and relax. I felt great leaving our dogs there, and they were happy (and tired) when picked up.”
“I appreciated that Kelly was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Phil. I received updates throughout the day and he went for 3 walks with her. I’m very happy overall with care and services and would recommend to other dog owners. Kelly’s home was clean and well cared for.”
“Channing really helped me out if a tight spot and agreed to sit my high energy husky the evening before. Communicative, friendly, and kind, I would definitely bring my baby back!”
“I am so glad that Yoshi and Penny are able to finish the year with Jennifer and her family. Yoshi and Penny absolutely adores them. The minute I mention going to her house, their ears perk up and the pups are jumping out of the back seat trying to beat each other to her front door. Thank you again for taking such awesome care of them. We hope to have more play dates in the new year.”
“Dani is awesome! I’m so glad we found someone to care for our elderly dog when needed. I love the report card and photos she sends every day!”
“We LOVE having our dog stay with Jerry. Jerry is very reliable and always takes our dog on fun adventures. After staying with Jerry, we always notice an improvement in our dog’s behavior when she comes home. Because of Jerry always taking her on walks with other dogs, she is now so much less reactive around other dogs when we go on walks. We moved to Tacoma and still drive across the bridge so Jerry can watch our pup. I would recommend Jerry to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs, love running around with them and also cuddling/chilling - I can match their energy. I have a gentle disciplinarian vibe that dogs seem to respond to. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so am usually available for pet care, possibly even at the last moment though I prefer to plan ahead. I am respectful of whatever the rules are in anyone's home and particularly try to follow routines that dogs are used to. In my own house dogs aren't allowed on furniture but otherwise are free to sniff around and make themselves comfortable wherever. It's cozy and quiet. There is a big backyard for hanging out or romping around.

Marissa S.
“I would highly recommend Marissa to any pet parent! She is extremely professional; punctual, polite, and excellent at communication. She cares deeply about her clients, providing focused attention and intelligent follow through. I think what sets Marissa apart is her curiosity and compassion. She is genuinely excited about each client as an individual, rises to meet their needs, and spoils them with love and comfort. She has a former career in healthcare, therefore I can trust that she is logical and has a ton of integrity. She is also just a joy to talk to! She listens, volunteers her thoughts and ideas, and doesn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure she is giving her absolute best. She is absolutely fantastic with my dogs and cats. She has been incredibly patient and persistent with my shy rescue dog that doesn’t trust ANYONE. Marissa’s hard work paid off, and my once suspicious pup now gives her kisses and leans in for pets. Patient, smart, loves animals and they lover her; that’s Marissa!”
