“Rachel was amazing with Molly. She’s (Molly) is older and can be a little standoffish so we did a short meet and greet a few days before the actual booking and it went great. Rachel came by for (2) one hour visits and sent great updates, with pictures, of taking Molly on walks and giving her pets. Definitely recommend using Rachel.”

About: Hi, I’m Brendon! I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs of my own, Finn, a golden retriever, and Oliver, a beagle. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident about who is caring for your pet while you’re away. I’m dependable, easygoing, attentive, and flexible when it comes to following your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply plenty of attention and companionship. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and preferences to help them feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d be happy to chat and learn more about you and your pet! I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I can accommodate a variety of visit times, walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting needs throughout the week. I always try to keep pets as comfortable as possible by following their normal routine and paying attention to their individual personality and energy level. For dogs, I’m happy to adjust walks and playtime based on whether they enjoy longer, more active outings or prefer a slower pace with plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-in visits or house sitting, I make sure food, water, medications, potty breaks, litter boxes, and any other care instructions are handled exactly as requested. With cats, I respect their space and let them decide how much interaction they want, while still making sure they receive plenty of attention and care.

“Morgana was so thoughtful and prompt and great with all of my pets! I felt completely comfortable leaving my cats in her care and this was reinforced by her messages and pictures. I will definitely book her again.”

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.

“Great pet sitter! She did an amazing job during her drop-in visits with my cats and provided good pictures with her updates. Would definitely use her services in the future.”

About: I have always watched and walked my friends dogs and I have a pup of my own. He was a reactive shelter pup when I got home, and through lots of work he’s come strides. I am good with dogs who have needs and love all animals! I can also do play dates with my dog if that’s of interest! I work a teacher schedule so I’m off a bit earlier plus weekends and often holidays. I love meeting new animals and getting all the steps. I have a dog who loves other dogs that I can bring or leave at home. I am available for drop ins, walks and if our dogs like each other could be available for boarding at my home.

About: Hi! I grew up locally on Fox Island with my family. We’ve always had 1-2 dogs at a time from puppy to elder. I’ve always taken on the responsibility that comes with dogs from a young age to now - feeding, play time, walks, cleaning and overall care. I have been active on Rover for the last four years and currently operate my own LLC. I reside in a quiet neighborhood at a dead end street with my six year old son - who is also great with dogs! My house includes a large fully fenced backyard - plenty of room for running, ball tossing and lounging. I have a flexible remote schedule which allows for ample potty breaks, outdoor time as well as extra care and attention! I am home with dogs for a majority of the time and generally do not leave them unattended for more than an hour for school drop-off, pickup, and local errand running. I use interior cameras and local pet sitters to accommodate dog schedules and monitoring if needed as well. I host multiple client’s pets at a time and am only taking on dogs that are friendly and get a long with other dogs. I do not currently have any pets of my own and have added interior cameras to monitor dogs if I’m away. I work with two local sitters as well to accommodate additional outdoor time, play time and potty breaks.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

“Adam was great with our cats! He took great care of them and was very patient with our cat who tends to hide under the bed around strangers. He also sent lots of wonderful pictures. Highly recommended.”

I allocate specific times each day for feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime, ensuring that pets receive the attention they need. This structured approach helps me balance their needs with my other responsibilities, such as work or school commitments. Additionally, I prioritize flexibility to accommodate unexpected events or emergencies, ensuring that pets always receive consistent and reliable care. This commitment allows me to maintain a harmonious routine that benefits both pets and their owners. In my approach to caring for pets, whether at my own home or at a client's residence, I maintain a consistent and attentive routine tailored to the needs of each individual animal: **Caring for Pets in My Home:** 1. **Dedicated Space:** I provide a safe and comfortable area within my home where pets can relax and feel at ease. 2. **Regular Exercise:** Daily walks, play sessions, and opportunities for exploration are integrated into their schedule. 3. **Nutritional Care:** I ensure pets receive balanced meals according to their dietary requirements, with access to fresh water at all times. 4. **Grooming:** Regular brushing, grooming, and hygiene maintenance are part of their routine to keep them clean and healthy. 5. **Social Interaction:** Pets receive companionship and attention throughout the day to prevent loneliness and promote mental stimulation. **Caring for Pets in Client's Home:** 1. **Respectful Environment:** I follow the homeowner's guidelines for pet care and house rules to maintain a harmonious environment. 2. **Routine Maintenance:** Feeding, watering, and bathroom breaks are performed according to the pet's usual schedule to minimize disruption. 3. **Activity and Engagement:** I engage pets in activities they enjoy, such as playtime, walks, or training exercises. 4. **Health Monitoring:** Observing for any signs of illness or discomfort, and promptly notifying the owner if concerns arise. 5. **Home Security:** Respecting the security protocols of the client's home, ensuring doors are securely locked and any alarms are set as instructed. In both settings, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care, maintaining open communication with owners to provide updates and ensure peace of mind while they are away.
