Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!

Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have basically never known a pet-free life. I grew up with my dad, who is a professional dog trainer, so learning how to understand and work with animals started early for me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even ferrets (yes, really) — I had two ferrets and a cat in college, and now I have two cats of my own. I regularly take care of my family’s pets when they’re out of town, and I take that responsibility seriously while still making sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and loved. I’m excited to expand my pet care and help more families feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, and playtime is built into our mornings and evenings — it’s something my husband and I genuinely enjoy. We both work full-time (I’m a teacher and he works in the medical field), but during the day my mom or grandmother is home with my son, so there’s always someone around. That means pets are never left without care, attention, or a familiar presence, and I’m able to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine. Pets will be safe and comfortable in my home. We own our house and have both a fully fenced backyard and a fenced front yard, giving pets plenty of secure outdoor space. We love getting outside and regularly go on longer walks and trail excursions, so active dogs will get plenty of exercise and enrichment. Daily walks are already part of our routine, often with my son along for the fun. Inside, pets have space to relax, and I can crate a dog if needed or requested. I also have a calm, quiet area of the house for pets who prefer a more peaceful space or need a break from activity.

About: Hi, I’m Van! I’m a responsible, experienced, down-to-earth caregiver with a big heart for animals and a deep respect for the bond you share with your pets. I grew up caring for my family’s small dogs, cats, and critters- often taking them to the nursing home my mom worked at to provide animal therapy. Through more than a decade of nannying, household management, and volunteer work, I’ve learned to care for many large and giant breed dogs, and some great farm animals 🐣 I’m an AmeriCorps alum and genuinely love goal-centered service work. For over 3 years now, I’ve been volunteering with The Humane Society in Tacoma as a dog walker 🦮 foster ❤️‍🩹 enrichment volunteer 🦴 and pawpurrazzi 📸 This not only tells you I’d do this type of work for free if I could- it also means I’ll send you the sweetest photos of your pets every time you book! Because I maintain a flexible schedule, your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and individualized attention throughout the day 🐾 As a work-from-home student and regular animal foster, pet care has become a central part of my routine and lifestyle. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, hands-on care. I’m naturally a calm homebody, and my house is a very low-stimulation environment. This allows pets staying with me to receive lots of supervision, interaction, enrichment, play, and rest throughout the day. 1. Safety: I pay close attention to animals in my care- monitoring their health and ensuring their curiosity stays safely contained. I routinely check that gates, doors, and leashes are properly latched, feeding instructions are accurate, and any potential hazards are removed ahead of time. I follow existing medication and walking schedules, crate routines, feeding instructions, mobility support needs, coat and body care routines, and can offer light training reinforcement when needed. Although I have systems in place for maximum safety, I require vet contact information in the case of an unexpected emergency. 2. Trust: If you feel anxious being away from your pet, or just really miss them, asking to FaceTime or Zoom is welcomed and encouraged. I try to answer messages and calls as soon as possible, and will accommodate each booking to the best of my ability. 3. Environment: We have a comfortable 3 bedroom home that is tidy-but-lived-in, with a fully fenced in backyard, and plenty of room to play. There are carpeted stairs to get inside, outside, and upstairs, and central heat and AC throughout that we adjust accordingly throughout the seasons. Depending on temperament, comfort level, owner preference, and availability- pets from seperate families may enjoy carefully supervised companionship and/or their own private room during their stay. Animals who need separation during boarding- or who simply prefer quieter or smaller environments- will be provided with their own private room, with bedding and windows, to decompress, settle in comfortably, and feel safe and secure (limited availability). If you would like the entire home for your pet(s) stay, the daily price increases to $90/night and $35 per additional pet (please send this in your initial request).

Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.

About: Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away. *Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play. I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.

Our Great Dane puppy has been going to Mollie’s place for regular weekly daycare for a few months now. We really couldn’t be happier working with Mollie, Matt, and Mollie Jr and how they care for Spy Kids. In our time with them, they’ve worked with our varied pickup time, puppy behaviors with a 100lb pup, last minute cancellations and changes to our schedule, and just overall goofiness from our guy, all with humor and kindness! Truly grateful we found them and they Spy Kids a try!

Molly has been watching my dog the past few weeks and exceeds my expectations! She welcomes my girl to her home with open arms and treats her like one of her own. She keeps me updated throughout the day and even goes above and beyond by dropping my dog off at home when I work late. I am so very thankful for her & her group of pups as they keep my fur baby company throughout the day and give her the socialization and love she deserves. Thanks again Molly!

She sends photos and updates throughout the day and her bully breed Bronson is sooooo cute and loves to play with my dog. It's also very refreshing coming home from a long day of work and my pup was ready for a nap. Will definitely be using her services again and again.

Honestly they did a really good job with our girl. I could tell because when I picked her up she was fast asleep and didn't even realize I was there (she is a little hard of hearing though lol). When she realized I was there she calmly came up to me and greeted me. She wasn't anxious to leave like the last sitter's place she was at. They also took her on a bunch of short walks around the block and let her chill on their couch too. I could tell she was in very good hands. Will probably be booking again in the future!:)
