Dog Walking Eastside-Enact

“Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.”

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.

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.

“So patient and calm with my reactive pup.”

“Another great walk with Paul! I genuinely can’t believe how quickly he was able to build rapport with our dog Luna and get her to walk with him. She settled down very quickly and even listened to his commands. He clearly knows how to handle big dogs with quirks!! Very much appreciate his responsiveness, flexibility, and calmness.”

“Arianna is a trustworthy and excellent person. My pooch loves her and she is flexible, responsible, and responds well. She is now dooing weekly with me! Thanks!”

“It was nice to be able to rely on Brooklyn for help with my dog and cats. I received a prompt review of the visit along with pictures. Definitely will book again!”

About: Dog and cat lover with lots of energy & experience! 🐶 🐱 Hi! I currently live with two golden retrievers, so I’m used to lots of dog hair, big smiles, and even bigger energy. I love being outside, going on long walks, and I’m quick on my feet which is perfect for keeping up with playful pups! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for dogs and cats of family and friends, whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs. I’ll treat your dog and/or cat like one of my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Need to take a weekend trip without your pup? As a recent grad looking for my next adventure, I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling drop ins, walks, and house sittings. I know every pet is different, and I’m all about making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I always treat your pet and your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. Making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved is my top priority!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with them and continuing to care for dogs for friends and others over the years. I’m also the proud owner of an 8-year-old Newfoundland/Collie mix, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. However, I also grew up with dachshunds and love the little ones just the same. One of my strengths is reading a dog’s personality and responding to what they need. I’m naturally affectionate with friendly, social dogs, but I’m equally comfortable giving shy or timid dogs the space and time they need to feel safe. I never want to force an interaction—I’d rather let a dog build trust at their own pace. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. Communication is also very important to me. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when someone else is caring for your pet, so owners can expect me to be responsive and keep them informed. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to provide outdoor time, exercise, and walks throughout the day. My pup, Drogo, is very kind and loves other dogs and he's especially gentle with the little ones. He can be a little grumpy with puppies, so that is a case-by-case basis (and I would encourage a meet and greet beforehand). Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether your dog wants walks and playtime, lots of pets, or simply a calm person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel comfortable. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around other commitments. Your dogs will be my priority. My flexibility also allows me to be responsive to owners and accommodate changes when possible. I want both you and your dog to feel like they’re getting plenty of attention—not like they’re just another appointment on my calendar. Safety, trust, and making your dog feel comfortable are always my priorities. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for yours rather than assuming every dog needs the same kind of care. For dogs staying in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and live in a very walkable neighborhood for regular walks and exercise. My dog, Drogo, is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but I think introductions are important. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable and we can make sure our dogs are a good fit—especially with puppies or dogs who may need a little more time to adjust. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your dog’s established routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding meals, walks, medications or special care instructions, doors and gates, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to a dog’s body language. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to let them set the pace. And of course, communication is a big priority for me. I’ll be responsive and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in my care.

“Sarah was so great with my high energy dog! I felt very confident in her abilities. I also appreciated her good communication and professionalism. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have worked with small, exotic, and large breed species for 6 years. I have been dog sitting since high school and really enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets with different personalities. I have experience walking, bathing, and treating animals for awhile and love helping them in any way! I am new to the Tacoma area (relocated from Maryland) and currently have a very open schedule. During the week I am available to assist in anyway such as: walking, feeding and treating pets, giving baths and overall giving them new experiences. I am also available most weekends. Interested in single time visits or regular scheduled pet care! I currently have a house with two dogs and two cats, we have a privacy full fenced back yard. I also have a vehicle and would be happy to travel to dog parks or hiking areas to give them more exercise based on the environments that would be best for each individual pet. I am also happy to work with the pet in their own home or yard if that is where they are most comfortable. I am available any time during the week and most weekends. I am available for routine visits as well or single time visits, whatever is needed! I have a house with a privacy fence and two dogs that are friendly/submissive towards other animals. I am also available to visit with them in their own home if that is where they are most comfortable. I have a vehicle and would be happy to drive to any dog park or hiking area to provide more exercise in whichever environment that is best suited for the individual pet.

About: I grew up with dogs and even though cats are more my speed now, I still love to get down in the dirt to play with the puppos. I'm currently unemployed, so I have all the time in the world to love up on and take care of your precious four legged child. Keeping to your pet's set routine is the best way to care for your pets. It will help with the separation anxiety and worry your pet will feel in your absence.

“Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.”

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.

About: I've had all types of dogs growing up since we fostered animals for the local humane society. I love all breeds and sizes. Making a dog happy is one of the best feelings in life. I have experience walking dogs with special needs from blind and deaf to needing a wheelchair. If you listen to the dog you'll get all the information you need to take care of them. I have open availability since I make my own schedule so I can walk almost any time. If you are in a bind I am a reliable pet loving person. I'll take care of your fur baby as if they were mine. There's nothing like a nice walk in the park with a friend by your side. I am new to the area and I have plenty of time to walk, sit or visit with your furry loved one as I search for full time employment. I have a fenced yard with 2 dogs 6 years old. Super friendly and well behaved. I live in a safe neighborhood and have time to keep your pet safe.

“Megan was fantastic with my senior pup, Macklin! She was prompt, attentive, and took very good care of him on their walk. I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

About: Whether your pet’s a couch-loving snugglebug or a zoomie-prone adventurer, I’m all about giving them respectful, communicative care with plenty of playtime, pets, and love thrown in. I’ve volunteered at shelters and adoption centers, helping pets find homes. Additionally, my experience at a specialty pet supply shop helped provide me with deeper understanding of pet needs. I'm working and studying part time, virtually. With this, it allows my schedule to be flexible enough to accommodate you and your little buddy's needs. I tend to enjoy playtime before and after meals, as that gives me and little buddy time to work up an appetite and connect! I am very careful about safety. I know the importance of being dependable, communicative, and observant when taking care of little companions.

About: With years of experience as an overnight dog and cat hotel specialist, I’ve cared for pets while their families were on vacation, ensuring they were comfortable, safe, and happy throughout the night. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to older, more reserved pets. I also have two fur babies of my own; adachshund and a husky-who I love more than anything. Having had pets my whole life, I understand the importance of attentive, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I work weekdays from 8 to 4, but I’m always available for house sitting and evening shifts to make sure your pets are well taken care of. I love starting the day with morning walks and playtime before work, and I’m happy to spend time with them after work and before bedtime, giving them all the attention they need. Plus, I'm free on weekends to provide extra love and care whenever you need it. Your pets are my priority, and I’ll always treat them with the same warmth and affection as I do my own! I completely respect the rules of your fur babies' home and will follow them closely to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s keeping them on a specific routine, following feeding schedules, or sticking to their favorite playtime activities, I’ll make sure everything is just the way they’re used to. Your pets will be loved, cared for, and well taken care of, just as if you were there!

“Brianna is wonderful. She takes great care of my dog whenever she is with him. It's so nice to know that my fur baby is in good hands, weather he is going for a walk, at a playdate, or boarding with her. Absolutely will continue to call on Brianna when I need pet care.”
