And a super bonus is she is an expert with German Shepherds! Truly a gem in Tacoma!!!! I highly recommend her services!!!”

“Heather was great with our pup Luna who has severe separation anxiety! She was very patient, keeping Luna company after I dropped her off until her anxiety subsided and she adjusted to her new environment. By the end of the 4-day stay, she was excited to get her visits in with Heather!”

About: I have always had pets in my home as a child and as an adult. I believe in fresh air for the dogs and treats for good behavior, if owner I do ask that your pet have a crate to sleep in at night. Please bring something from home for their comfort as well. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that would accommodate many options for pet owners. I have a pug mix dog named Fonzy and he loves making new dog friends. I take care of pets in my own home. I will feed and clean pets. Walking and playing is a part of my daily routine with my own dog, Fonzy.
“Marlena was great with Rainy while I was gone for the day. Rainy's need and comfort were a priority for her. She also sent me several texts with photos for mt peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Brittainy and David were great! Supper nice and flexible with the pick up and drop offs. I also got sent some photos to update how my dog was doing .my dog had a great time !”
“I had to book Marilyn last minute at 7am—literally as I was leaving for my hike because my previously scheduled Rover failed to meet me. She quickly took my dog in and watched that she didn't exercise much (she just had surgery). I know that Marilyn watched her because with the other Rover, my dog would come back limping indicating to me that she was exercising too much. With Marilyn, she did not limp after picking her up. I would book her more often if the location was closer!”
“Kendall was a perfect fit for my dog Lucy. It’s obvious how much she loves giving attention and affection to pets in her care. She was so friendly, kind, and enthusiastic toward Lucy and very flexible and accommodating with my schedule. She answered my questions and texts promptly, and gave me little reports and pictures throughout the day. I felt completely comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and will definitely use her again.”
About: I have a large home with a fenced back yard, I have 2 dogs a Great Dane and a pug mix. They are great animals and get along with other animals and people. I have two kids 12 and 9. I look forward to taking care of your pup and treating him or her like my own. My wife is stay at home during the summer as she is off from driving a school bus. There is always someone home with the animals also. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who your pet can play with. We love playing with the dogs all day and keep them active
About: I’ve had dogs for 10+ years, taken care of family and friend’s dogs for 4 years, and volunteered at a dog shelter for 2 years when I was 16. At the dog shelter, I bathed, fed, walked, played with, and got to know each dog as well as their individual needs. I'm currently working from home, so I will be able to keep an eye on your pup at all times. My job is pretty flexible, so I can adjust my work schedule around your pups needs as well (e.g., potty breaks every 2 hours, specific meal times). I live in a house with a large fenced yard, have two dogs to keep your pup company, and can crate your dog if you prefer that. I keep my dogs separated from other dogs (in another room or in their crate depending on your preference) when I go to the store, shower, etc.
“Steffi is super sweet and treated my dog Honey with the love and respect any dog mom would want for their fur baby! Steffi would send me photos and videos to update me on Honey’s status, which was very reassuring. Despite having separation anxiety, Honey seemed to really enjoy her stay with Steffi! I’d highly recommend Steffi to anyone.”
About: I have grown up with many different kinds of animals for as long as I can remember, including dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, and even ducks & geese! I have always helped take care of all the family animals growing up and as I grew up, I continued to take care of relatives, as well as friends and acquaintances animals as well. I am an avid animal of all kinds lover and will always give them endless amounts of love and attention, always treating & caring for them as though they were my own. I am currently only working side gigs as I take care of my own fur babies at home, so I have lots of time, attention, and love to give to your pet(s)! I have a two-story home with a good sized, fenced in back yard, with lots of grass for your fur baby to run around and play in.
