Dog Sitting in Gig Harbor

“Sierra is so great with our pets! She leaves us at ease and able to enjoy vacations while we’re away knowing they are taken care of. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

About: I've worked in the pet industry for a total of 7 years. I am highly educated in pet nutrition and care from the past 5 years, and in college worked for 2 years in pet boarding. I also help to adopt out foster kittens and played an active part in their care. I've had animals all my life and spent a portion of my time in high school caring for a cat with diabetes. I am familiar with both dog and cat care. I recently moved to Tacoma from Austin, TX and currently have a completely open schedule! I can work with your needs to find a schedule that works for you. I am happy to fulfill any nutritional needs of your pet including feeding a raw or supplement filled diet. I also am happy to help them play/exercise as needed.

About: Please only Tacoma inquiries. I live in Stadium and drive a jeep so far distances are not ideal. :) I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I have volunteered with the humane society for years and also foster for local rescues. I love dogs and I want many but while I am finishing my masters and substitute teaching I feel this is the best thing for me! I have dog sat puppies, seniors, all types of breeds, and spoiled grumpy dogs! I am not from Washington so I have no family for the holidays and would love to fill my house with another dog or two! I currently substitute teach so I have a flexible schedule, all the holidays off and I have no plans on going anywhere! If it is during non holiday times, I leave my apt at around 730 and come home around 430. I live in a fourplex and go on lots of walks, long walks, and walks to the park that is close by! Lots of walks!

About: I will make my home your pets away from home. I strive to provide loving care to your furry family member. I have been around furry friends my entire life. I have nursed puppies that lost their mom when I was 8 years old, helped our senior dogs pass over the rainbow bridge, and in my adult life I have rescued 3 adult dogs and raised a puppy. I currently have 2 small pets that live here and are very calm and friendly. I am experienced with senior dogs nearing the end of their life. by providing fluids, medication, special diets, and extra special care and love. Your pets have access to a fenced back yard with potty breaks every 2 hours (unless your dog needs more breaks in cases of puppies or senior dogs), daily walks, and furniture. Please consider me when booking your next home away from home for your furry family member.

About: I love animals, especially dogs. We have 2 a black labradoodle-Hudson and black lab-Hilda. Both of them LOVE all other dogs, and always happy to have any company on walks or over night stays. I do doggy daycare 2-3x a week taking a group of pups to Edgewood to run around on 5 acres at my parents property. Fenced and no fenced areas, so any dog is safe having fun running around getting their energy out and playing with friends 🐶🐾🐕🐕‍🦺 For walks, I can do a standard walk or run if you would like your dog to have more of a workout. I live in a great neighborhood so would be happy to walk them around here or closer to home. I have dog sat and done regularly scheduled walks in the past. I love going to the dog park so I can take the dog with me to go there if they have a lot of energy and like that experience. I can also help with giving medicine, schedule feedings etc. I work full time remote from home so happy to work with clients on a schedule with them based on dog/animal needs. I an up early and off in the mid afternoon to go for runs or long walks with my pup (and yours too 😊) I have a small fenced yard they can hang out in. Have a big 2 bedroom apartment with my pup so shared space for all of us Also have a family 5 acre property to take the pups to in order to get out energy if needed.

“Rachel is absolutely fantastic!! She goes above and beyond with your pups, always making sure to take care of what each one needs on a given day. Sometimes one needs a bit more attention or one needs more energy burn. She does it all! I never worry one moment that they are in the best hand.”

“Renee went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, fed, and well-exercised over the span of 4 days while we were out of town. We loved the photos and details she provided. Looking forward to scheduling with her again!”

About: Friendly and genuine dog lover 🐾 I have experience taking care of dogs and cats for ~15 years, for friends, family, neighbors, etc. You can rest assured that I’ll give your dog tons of love and affection, and go above and beyond to make them as happy as can be. I’m super flexible- I run my own business and set my own schedule so squeezing in dog walks and dog sitting throughout the week is easy as long as you reach out a little bit in advance. I’ll do whatever is needed to make your dog safe and happy, and make sure nothing is accessible for them that they shouldn't be consuming or playing with. I know the importance of keeping certain dogs active which is why long walks and play time is something I'll always incorporate. Will send photos and videos of your dog throughout our time together to reassure you that they are in great hands and that there is no shortage of love and affection during our time together. :)

“Thank you!”

About: I played soccer at UW for 5 years, have recently moved to Gig Harbor with my fiance, and have been looking for ways to participate more in my community. I walked dogs with Rover during college and am so excited to be helping in this space again! About myself, I have been a cybersecurity consultant since graduating from UW in 2022 and have continued to serve as a mentor and guest lecturer at the UW. I believe myself to be a trusted member of my neighborhood and community. As a former athlete, I can accommodate a variety of distance/speed expectations for walks. I am also very punctual and promise excellent service with regular updates if desired. I work remotely and have a normal 8-5 schedule, however there is often plenty of flexibility and I could just as easily accommodate a mid day walk as an evening walk. I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass for playing. My house is also great for dogs to lounge around or watch squirrels through the windows (my Yorkie’s favorite pastime activity haha!)

About: I've had dogs of my own for 20 years. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 Holland lop bunny. I grew up on a farm with dogs, horses, cats, and lamas. I love all animals! I work at a school so I'm off for the summer! This leaves my schedule pretty open day to day. Most weekends are open as well. I can stay in your home with your pets or stop by as needed. I'm open to follow your care plan. Whatever keeps your pets comfortable.

About: I’ve always been the friend group’s go-to dog sitter — the one who happily snuggles the shy pups, wrestles the wild ones, and sends way too many cute photo updates. I have experience with both bouncy puppies and slower senior pets, and I’m great at reading their energy and making them feel at home. Your pets get a new buddy, and you get total peace of mind! Pet care is the best part of my day! I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. I love starting or ending my day with a walk, some playtime, or just keeping a your pet company during the day. Right now, I offer drop-in visits and walks in your home, keeping your pet in their familiar space and routine. I make sure they’re fed, played with, snuggled (if they’re into that), and always feel safe and cared for. Once we’ve built a bond and your pet’s comfortable with me, I’m open to longer-term in-home sitting too!

“I'm not much for leaving reviews and am rarely impressed enough to do so. That said, I wanted to make sure I commented on the 5-star care provided by Meredith and Elliott, both of whom are as kind as they are professional. It's clear they love animals—which, of course, is key—but they also go above and beyond in SO MANY ways: Taking time to nurture and play, sending pics, suggesting special care, offering to groom and clean up after my cats and...well...I could go on. Bottom line: I'm a picky guy and I'd encourage anyone with beloved pets to hire these two in a heartbeat. (I just need to make sure I still have access to them when they're rich and famous!)”

“We booked Audrey to drop-in on our two cats while we were away on a trip. Audrey is friendly, easy to communicate with, and dealt with a couple mishaps from our crazy cats! We were away longer than usual, and Audrey’s updates with photos helped keep us at ease. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for a new pet sitter!”

About: I love taking care of animals and playing with them! If there’s a party and there’s an animal that’s there, first thing I’m saying hi too lol. I’ve had cats and dog all my life. They are truly the light of my life. I personally have 2 cats and a golden doodle who I love! They truly are the best things to happen to me! I want you to feel that when your leave your animal in my care you know I’m doing it with love like they were one of my own! I work remotely so I get to choose my schedule, so if I see that something available I’m definitely gonna be picking the shift up! I’m very lucky to have that freedom I spoil my cats! I shower them with love and enrichment. I built an entire cat wall to keep them busy and happy! I give them the undivided attention they need and deserve, while making sure I know there boundaries as well. I would do the same with my clients pet as well! I would treat them like my own. I would personally take it slow in the beginning of meeting pet to make sure we get along and he/she feels comfortable with me.

About: I have raised 2 dogs and have enjoyed every minute of it. I lost my lab at 13.5 y/o about two years ago and have been missing the companionship. New to WA I am available before and after work Monday through Friday along with weekends. Accommodations of other days/times can be made upon request in and consideration. I can walk, feed, bathe and provide other care needs for your furry little/big ones. If they like fetch or swim this can be provided upon request

“Always great with our dogs.”

“Alex was a great friend to my dog Honey while I was away for a week. It was the first time Honey’s been alone at home, and Alex gave her the extra attention and pets that she needed. I would highly recommend Alex.”

“Sarah did an amazing job with my two senior cats. I loved her daily updates, and she went above and beyond to get my cats their medicine and all the essentials. She brushed them, and made every effort to make friends, which isn’t easy with many cats, when a stranger comes into their life. Sarah was very detailed oriented and happily followed special instructions. I highly recommend her for loving care of your fur babies!”

“Very flexible and patient. Also good Communication. Keleia took good care of my baby boy. I definitely book her again in the future. I highly recommend her.”
