“Kelly was very quick to respond. She arrived on time to walk Dory and was so kind to send a pic of their walk. She was super easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker. Thank you so much, Kelly!”
“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: Growing up, I helped my family raise cats and for the past 10 years, I’ve spoiled my dogs every day. A few years ago, my wife and I boarded dogs. One Christmas, we were caring for 11 dogs, not to mention our newborn baby. Currently, I have a senior beagle with special care needs and two active, adorable 2-year-old rescue dogs. I also have 2 cats, 4 chickens, and 2 mostly non-feral human children. I work M-F 9-5, so I’m available in the early mornings, midday, and at night. Usually available anytime on the weekends. I have 2 kids under the age of 7, so sometimes things come up which might cause a delay in my schedule, like if my child spills an entire smoothie on herself moments before we leave for a birthday party; that sort of thing. Given that, I can commit to roughly a 1-hour window, not a precise time, when I can drop in to check on your pets. My senior beagle lives a relaxed life of doggy retirement on our couch and, on sunny days, in the backyard. My other dogs love running around our big backyard. I’m comfortable taking care of any needs your dog or cat has, such as crating them, brushing them, and giving them meds.
“Chuck has been wonderful with 3 terriers. Very sensitive to the dogs needs when the weather is warm making sure they have rest and water. He also understands our crazy jack Russell and her need to bark at everything she sees. Very patient with her”
“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”
“Nathan was responsive, friendly and flexible when it came to taking care of Lucy. Followed directions very well and provided updates on the walk. Highly recommended and I will gladly use his services again.”
“Rachel was great with my pup's walk! Also was super about communicating with me when we had to troubleshoot my front door lock. Happy to rebook and recommend to anyone!”
“I am very please with Ethan. We are new to the area and as such was a big transition for my dog. Ethan was very willing to accommodate her needs. He Is willing to work with and reinforce behavior training while walking. I am super grateful to have discovered such an nice and accommodating young man.”
“Lydia has been a wonderful addition to my dog walking team. She’s responsive to messages, flexible with individual needs, and dependable with care. She sends quality pictures and updates so I know how the walks went and how my pups are doing during her care. If she has questions or concerns during her time with the dogs she addresses them promptly and respectfully. I can trust no issue or concern will go unnoticed or unreported. I appreciate having Lydia as a trusted member of my team and can count on my dogs being well cared for and loved on while I am away.”
“Misao was wonderful! She was very friendly from meet&greet, and always on time, and gave us lots of cute photos and updates! She went above and beyond to give our dog TLC while we were not home. We could tell Denver was very happy. We’ll definitely use her service again! Thank you so much, Misao! :)”
“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:)”
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: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life! From Boston terriers to Doodles to Rottweilers, I love dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I’m also a big cat fanatic and would love to take care of some feline friends. Whether I’m taking your pooch for a walk in the great outdoors, or spending quality time with them in the backyard - I will make sure your furry loved ones get the care they deserve. I am a full time student that is taking the entire summer off! I will be available all hours of the day, almost every day from June 9th to September 25th. Like a helicopter paw-rent, I’ll keep an eagle’s eye on your pets to make sure they don’t get in any trouble. All of my time and attention will focus on your pets, and I will always put their safety first whether outside or in your own home.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Watching and walking my friends dogs. I’m very reliable and enjoy looking forward to walking dogs and enjoying the time spent with them. I am currently not working so I am available anytime of the day and anyday. Just let me know what you need and I am more than willing to:) I will not be accepting Pets in my home since I Live in an apartment and don’t have the space for them. While I’m watching other peoples pets in their home we will have lots of play time and walks.
About: Just want to add a note. Because I do not have kids or a dog of my own, I regularly travel to help friends and family in other cities and states. Sometimes with sitting, often with caregiving. If you see my location change or have questions about my availability in a different location, hit me up. I’m flexible unless previously booked. 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. I work from home Monday-Friday and as long as i have WiFi, I am flexible to work around your animals schedule. I’m also a bit of a homebody so I’m perfect for all the Covid dogs looking to keep their jobs as a shadow while their parents are out of town. At this time 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 always grown up with lots of pets, and currently my family includes 5 pugs. I have experience with very large dogs, small dogs, newborn puppies, and elderly dogs. I love walking dogs and can take them out for as long or short of a walk as they need. I also have experience giving them medications including pills, ointments, and eye drops. I am not working a full-time job until the beginning of the school year, so I will have a lot of time and flexibility to do dog walking and drop-in visits in Tacoma every day of the week. I can take dogs on long or short walks, depending on their age and what they can handle while paying attention to how the warmer weather might affect them. I can also do check-ins to feed and play with your dog or cat, making sure to give them plenty of attention and care.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Fircrest is $25

We were so fortunate to have found Arianna & that she was available during our requested period. Arianna promptly replied to our inquiries & was great at communicating with us. Our Shiba was very happy with his walks too! We would not hesitate to request Arianna again and highly recommend her. Thank you Arianna!
James was super friendly and my dog absolutely loved him. He definitely has a way with pets. I booked a dog walk with James and he went above and beyond in addition to walking him, he played fetch with him and brushed his hair as well making it much more enjoyable to pet him afterwards (his hair was nappy beforehand). We had one very happy and well behaved dog after the time James spent with him. I highly recommend James for any pet care!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fircrest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fircrest.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fircrest. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
