“Jennifer sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and went above and beyond to make Apollo comfortable. I'll definitely send Apollo there again when we're out skiing!”

“Jill was amazing!!!we needed the sitter for our pups in the last minute. I’m so worry to leave my pups especially Blue with someone new with no time to read the review of that person. However, Jill made my worrying lower by sent me a lot of pictures and videos. I felt so comfortable to leave my pups with her from that point. We will rebook with Jill again and can’t say enough how grateful that we found her. Thank you so much Jill for take a good care of my pups😍😍”

“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our dog Mike with Anna, and he had an absolutely fabulous time! Anna’s beautiful home and expansive fenced acreage provided the perfect environment for Mike. He had ample space to run and play. She also made sure Mike socialized with several other friendly dogs, and he even made a new buddy! Anna kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease knowing Mike was having a great time. At the end of the day, Mike was tired but very happy, a clear sign of the fun and exercise he enjoyed. If your dog needs lots of exercise and enjoys playing with other pups, Anna is the perfect choice.”

“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”

“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”

Michael J. & Amy K.

“Excellent communication throughout the day. My sweet dog was very happy and very tired when I picked him up. The care that Lelia gives is like one would give their own pet. We will definitely be visiting again!”

Cathryn B.

“Rose was so sweet and my dogs were calm and tuckered out when we picked them up. Ivy has anxiety so to see her go to Rose calmly was wonderful. Rose also sent us pics throughout the day to show how our girls were doing. We truly appreciate her.”

About: My name is Sara Bailly and I live in a Craftsman house with a large yard in the North End of Tacoma. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old who both love dogs. I am a stay at home mom, so except for my kids activities I am pretty flexible. With two kids running around I prefer dogs that are not food and toy possessive. I am careful to watch that they are gentle with dogs, but dogs need to be kid friendly. We have a tall fence and a doggie door with access to the back porch. We generally keep dogs indoors when we are out to minimize barking for our neighbors. If your dog is crate trained that is a plus. I love dogs and have been working with them for many years. I was a veterinary technician for 3 years, so I am comfortable and capable of administering all types of medication. I have a lot of experience with training dogs too, so if you're working on something with your pup I can continue that while you are away. About this sitter: I specialize in high energy dogs, and would love to watch your dog. Does your dog have separation anxiety? Dogs with separation anxiety will benefit from plenty of exercise, love, and attention while you're gone. A tired dog is a happy dog! I cannot stay with your dog as I have a new baby, but if you live in the North End of Tacoma I am able to take your dog out on a walk twice a day. I can also bring in the mail, pick up poo, and water while you are away. Are you working on training with your dog? Well I can keep it up while you’re away. Just let me know what you’re working on and what techniques you are using and I’ll work with your dog. Does your dog have special needs like ear drops, oral medication, or teeth brushing? Having been a veterinary technician for 3 years I am very comfortable and capable with many special needs. I have worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years and have spent many years caring for my own dogs as well as family and friend's pets. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved all animals, but especially dogs. In high school I volunteered at the local veterinary clinic, and was quickly hired on. I worked there for two years before I left to go to culinary school. I have always had a dog since I was eighteen ( we had dogs when I was a kid too), and all of them have been rescues. I'm the lady who keeps a leash and treats in my car in case I see a stray. I have found forever homes for many abandoned dogs, and brought others home safely to their owners. My current pride and joy is my dog Clyde. He is an English Field Setter and a total goofball. About my yard We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. When the weather is warmer we fill up the kiddie pool for any water loving dogs out there. We also have a dog run along the side of the house with an even higher fence. It's about 300sq. ft. and is where the dogs stay while I am away. There is access to the house from the dog run through a doggie door and plenty of space to run. My experience administering medication Yes, being a veterinary technician for years, I am comfortable with administering all types of medication. I work during the day on Wednesday and Thursday, but have a flexible schedule. I also work in the evenings on Fridays and Saturday. I am home except for errands and school drop-off/pick-up the rest of the week. I have a fenced backyard and a doggie door leading to the back porch. We are able to close the door to keep dogs from going out at night or when we are away.

About: I have been all about pets my whole life! I will treat your furbaby like my own and spoil them with lots of love. I enjoy bonding with and getting to know your dog. Every single one has its own unique personality and I am more than happy that I get to learn about it so that I can provide the best care possible for them :) I greatly look forward to working with you and your precious pet. I have a pretty flexible schedule and I can ensure potty breaks whenever needed. I am home most of the time and leave only for a couple hrs or less. In my home, I have 2 yards for running and playtime. I do not mind pets on my couch or bed and always enjoy the cuddles! In your home, I will respect your rules and treat your pet how you have laid out.

About: I grew up on farms and ranches, and have cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, dispositions, and ages. How can I help you create the perfect, supportive routine for your fur-baby(ies). What do they need? More walks? Someone to watch them while you are at work or on vacation? Let me support you, so your pets can thrive! I'm currently working part-time and from home, so I have lots of flexibility to fit your pet's needs into my routine! And what better way to fill my time than helping your pet be healthy, happy, and supported! I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs to keep your fur-baby company. We also have an inside cat, who would love to have a friend to play with. Is your pet nervous in unfamiliar places? I'm happy to come to you! I will keep your spaces clean, and provide all the care and exercise your pet needs.

“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 am a dog lover and I work 90% from home. I had two sweet boxers in the past who were by my side for frequent walks, trips to the dog park, ball playing in the yard, and frequent adoration and potty breaks. Your four legged kids will get lots of love and affection. I work from home and have lots of opportunities for walks and play. I have availability during traditional work hours and some weekends with advance notice. I used to have very active dogs and I can offer lots of attention, play, and affection. I have nearby trails and parks for extra exercise. I always use caution when out in public and make sure pets are on leash when out for walks and are secure in a home before opening doors.

About: Hi, I’m Kailey! If you have a dog that thinks they’re a lap dog (despite weighing 80+ lbs) or a pup with endless energy, we’re going to be best friends. I’ve grown up surrounded by large breeds my entire life, so I’m well-versed in the "big dog life"—from managing strong pullers on a leash to giving the best behind-the-ear scratches. I’m a high-energy person who loves being outdoors. While some sitters are happy with a quick lap around the block, I prefer to get those paws moving! Whether your dog needs a vigorous power walk, a trail run, or an intense game of fetch at the park, I’m ready to match their pace. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and hit the pavement together! I currently work a 9-5 from home on central hours (7am-3pm PST) which allows for me to dedicate quality time to your pet. I have no in-person work responsibilities. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for two dogs to run around and have some supervised play time as well as a very comfy couch for some relaxing.

“Kaylee and her family are awesome and we are very lucky to have her in our area! Andy loves coming to their place and see all his friends and he sees them as his other family. 5 stars is not enough to rate Kaylee.”

About: Hi there! My name is Scotti. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pup is in great care when you cannot be present. It is imperative to me that you know your fur baby will be happy, snuggled and safe in my care. I have two pups, a big and little, that I love more than can be measured. You can trust your pup will be safe, entertained and loved on while in my care. I have been caring for dogs for 25 years, my own, friends and family pups and as a rescue foster parent to dogs of all varieties, behaviors, temperament and health issues. I have no foster pups at this time. Dogs must be potty trained and friendly to be in my home. I understand some pups have quirks and I am willing to work with things short of aggression (toy and food aggression not applicable-that is manageable when I am informed). I am happy to send you photos and videos of your pets while you are away. I am experienced in administering medications and special diets. Millie (my pup) is on meds for age related health issues. I have a 1/3 acre fully fenced backyard. I work full time from home. No children. I am in North Gig Harbor, off Peacock Hill. Reach out with any questions! I work from home. Millie (Lab) and Bo (Havanese) are friendly, trained and well adjusted pups. Bo loves to play and Millie is much more chill, she is a senior. If time allows a pre meet up for everyone to meet is nice but not necessary. My home has a 1/3 acre fully fenced back yard with a corner of shady trees for the pups to relax or play if they like. Lets play!

“Hongyee is amazing with my two dogs. Especially Mr. Watson whom requires medication. My pups are resting peacefully after a wonderful day. I'm so grateful to have found her and look forward to many more play dates at her home! ❤️😀”

“Alyssa took great care of our 5 month old puppy. As it was our first experience with dog sitting, we were a little nervous, but Alyssa’s knowledge and calm energy put us at ease. Our dog had a great stay and we appreciated the pictures and updates. We will definitely book again with her!”
