“Nathan was great with our dogs and accommodated a late request for dog coverage without a proper introduction. He communicated leading up to and during visits, giving updates when our oldest dog was a bit off after recovering. Super appreciative and our old man pups were well taken care!”

About: I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. Work situation changed so I’m more open to daytime walks and drop ins. I also keep a weird sleep schedule so if you need a late night drop in or walk, hit me up. Update: I did recently get a dog. He’s a young doodle and prefers to chew on my hair and hands more than toys, but gets along well with other dogs. He sure everyone wants to be his friend. He is young, potty trained and a great playmate. So right now the only way I’m able to sit is if your dog would like new bestie. I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I am always wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.

“Bailiegh is absolutely incredible. She understands Convoy's needs and makes sure they are met every time. She communicates appropriately and is well spoken. She sends video and pictures every walk and Convoy is always happy, vocal and worn out. Bailiegh is a Rover dream and looking forward to continuing having her being a positive figure in Convoy's life.”

About: Hello! My name is Amber and I have a perfect home to watch your dogs in while you're at work M - F I work from home FT during the week so I can keep your pup company, give them frequent fenced in yard time, and make sure they're cared for. I raised my own dog Koda from a 6wk old puppy to 16yrs old. She passed away in May (and im keeping her in my profile pictures for now) but now I have a dog friendly house ready to care for a dog. I've also spent time around dogs all my life and have recently started fostering through the Tacoma Humane Society too. I've also hired many dog + house over the years throug rover and know what makes a good sitter. Feel free to reach out! Monday-Friday 9am-6pm I'm up and about and really have no limitations. If I do have something coming up thst week it will reflect in my calendar In addition to my dog, I've had many sizes of family dogs growing up. I can handle most all sizes and energy levels. My last dog is also an escape artist, is a senior and has a little anxiety so I am always very diligent and observant of behaviors. My last foster dog was 155lbs. We went on daily walks successfully

About: Since I was a baby I had a white Lab named Cooper. Best friends have always had dogs. 3 years ago me and my mom took care of two little Labradors. I don’t currently have them anymore due to health reasons my mom was facing but would love to spend as most time as possible with animals, especially dogs. I house sitted three dogs for a week, enjoyed every minute with it. Sprinting in a field with a dog is one of the most freeing experiences everyone needs to live. I am currently unemployed trying to find work before a trip in early July, Able to help anytime during the week, nite, etc. I have a very flexible schedule I can adjust so I’m able to spend lots of time with your pet. I mainly go to the gym, and go out with friends at nighttime. I’ll show your dog around 9th and 9th. Open to driving anywhere. Would love to take your dog on a hike! Will take your dog paddleboarding, the dog park, stores.

About: I’ve taken care of all varieties of animals. I have experience with special needs pets, blind, deaf, diabetic, incontinence, seniors, etc. I love senior pets, they hold a special place in my heart. I have fostered for the humane society for a long time. I’m available part time, on my days off to give your pets the love, care and attention they deserve! I’m a busy beaver, but never too busy to give a little extra love! I have 4 cats and a dog. My cats all love to keep friends company. I have a fully fenced yard, a kennel outside and a crate inside just in case. Plenty of toys and activities to keep your friend occupied.

Rosa has a gift for dog walking. She is prompt and asks questions about Myka’s needs she is very friendly and made a fast friend with Myka. Myka is very excieted to see her and Rosa talks to her and pets her until she calms down. They always have a good walk because Myka comes back sleeping the rest of the day. I have found 2 really good dog walkers through Rover and Rosa rates at the top. She is a blessing and a keeper. I would highly recommend her.

Ethan did an excellent job walking and caring for our large, reactive dog. It was clear that he felt very comfortable handling challenging dogs, and after meeting him we felt good about leaving our dog in his care. The pictures and updates he shared after his walks reinforced this--our dog looked so happy with him! He was also extremely communicative and professional, which we appreciated. We feel very lucky to have found him and will absolutely use him for our future pet care needs.

Van is my dogs favorite person!! They have put in the time and effort to get to know his personality and make him feel special and cared for. He can be difficult at times and Van has been excellent at communicating and working through those moments with us. Not to mention the best dog photographer in town! 10/10 recommend booking Savannah to care for your pet
