Dog Walking Central

“Megan has been regularly walking my dog, Mack, for a few months now. I was anxious at the beginning to have someone take care of my dog when I wasn’t there (because while I think he’s amazing, he’s also a little quirky lol), but it’s been such a relief working with her. She has such a kind and calming energy, and it’s clear that my pup loves spending time with her! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I can’t recommend Megan enough.”

“Alex did well handling our boisterous Siberian Husky. Showed up on time and followed instructions on what to watch for on the walk around the neighborhood.”

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

“Allycen was wonderful! She accepted my very last minute walk request and she was quick to respond. Very communicative. Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!”

“If you want someone with lots of energy, who is kind, who loves dogs, and who is highly trustworthy and honest, Nathan is your guy! This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn't be happier. Nathan communicated well and allowed the dogs to get to know and trust him before transitioning from just a walk to a walk and Chuckit time at the park. Mac and Hoko were so happy when they would see Nathan come through the door (as witnessed by my roommate on occasion). We will use Nathan again, even if I don't have the need and only want the boys to see an old friend. 100% recommend.”

About: My name is Meg. I'm 32 and live alone without pets. I've grown up around animals, have always partnered with people who have pets, and have spent a whole lot of time pet sitting for friends and family. I recently moved out on my own and had to leave behind my partner's dog. As a self employed tattoo artist, I spend a lot of time walking myself on a flexible schedule as-is - I'm honestly just missing having dog pals to do that with. So I figured I'd give Rover a try. I've been self employed as a tattoo artist for 14 years, and have always kept other forms of work in the mix to keep my resume growing. Being self employed means I make my own schedule, which means I have lots of flexible time for long walks in the park. I'm happy to follow your tailored care instructions for your animal, and will absolutely respect your home space while I'm at it. I don't have any personal agenda for your pet haha.

“Kim is awesome! She’s been walking Dakota for a few weeks now and Dakota loves her! She’s always on time, gives me updates on potty breaks, and even takes in our packages! 10/10 recommend:)”

About: I dog sit on occasion for my sister, I also did doggy daycare, I have one year of experience, I love animals, thank you -William I can do Mondays through Fridays from 11am until 2:30pm. I may not be available May 20th through May 23rd to walk or house sit dogs I know how to crate your dog if needed. I also know how to feed them and give them baths. My neighbor is really nice and perfect for walking dogs

“Mollie's been walking my two dogs twice a week for a couple of weeks now, and it's been great! She was very thoughtful in the initial meeting and follow up, making sure she knew what the discipline and activity goals are for each of them. The girls are calmer when I get home at night and it's a lot of peace of mind knowing how well they're taken care of by her. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I'm Alison. As long as I can remember furry friends have been a part of my family. Growing up we consistently had between two and three dogs and a cat. When I was around 12 years old, my neighbors got a new Cocker Spaniel puppy named Abby. Because both of her owners worked during the day, they hired me to pick Abby up in the morning and take her back to my house to play, go for walks, and be cared for. I fell in love with Abby and developed a strong relationship with her owners. Until I moved away for college, they hired me to watch Abby and housesit for them whenever they went out of town. In addition, I was recommended to other families and was able to meet and care for dogs of many different breeds. Dog sitting and dog walking never felt like a job to me because of how much I adore spending time with animals. I never get tired of exploring new areas of nature with my family's dog, cuddling on the couch with my cat, and meeting new furry friends wherever I go. I am currently working part-time as a chemistry tutor so I have a flexible schedule. Now that the weather is warm, I'm looking forward to getting outside more! I live in a second-story duplex with direct access to a completely fenced-in back yard. My downstairs neighbors have a small dog who is mostly indoors.

“Chloe was Very helpful and she was very kind with my little guy especially when he can be a handful”

“Kaylee is amazing with our pup! I can tell she treats and cares for him like he’s her own. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their doggos:)”

“Jenna is a wonderful dog walker! She takes care of our very energetic puppy twice a week and has been a lifesaver! Beau loves how patient, thoughtful, and fun she is. We love that she really thinks about what will work for Beau and is so loving to our big pup!”

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: 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.

“Adam is fantastic! He is always super responsive and gives great updates! He is the first experience I've had with Rover, and though I was nervous to trust someone with my little guy, Adam exceeded all my expectations! I know my dog Jean Luc is in great hands, and I don't ever want to get anyone else to take care of him. Thank you so much, Adam!”
