Dog Walking Gig Harbor

“Jerry was punctual, professional, friendly, reliable, and our puppy dog was very excited to see him every time he arrived. Jerry helped us with a daily walk for two weeks while I had a broken ankle. Windsor even started to wait at the door for Jerry‘s appointment time. Thanks again, Jerry for helping out our family. You’re the best.!!!”

About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe their physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.

“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!”

“Emma was great with Luke! She took him on some of his favorite walks in the short time she got to watch him. She was punctual on her visits and remembered to lock our doors after she leaves 😉. With the normal app glitches, which affected us both, aside - it was a good experience and we would seek her out again.”

About: I grew up around dogs, from the moment I was born till now. Small to the largest they come, I am comfortable handling and caring for them all! I worked in animal husbandry at a major zoo and aquarium, so I am quite in tune to animal welfare needs! I have raised and cared for feral cats even too. I have worked in animal husbandry professionally for many years at a zoo and aquarium. I grew up with many dogs and several rodents even too so I am quite comfortable with all sorts of behaviors and demeanors! I am active and ready to engage with the animals in my care, with a variety of stimulus from play to exercise! Whether it’s just a quick check in, feeding, play time, or overnight stays, I am ready to provide the best care for your pet at a moments notice! I am extremely flexible with schedules and not worried at all about spending more time if needed attending to their behaviors and giving them attention. I pride myself on trust and love which goes both ways, for humans and animals! The relationship between you, the owner, and myself, is just as valuable as that between your pet and me! I promise, them and I will be best friends from the first visit on.

“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!”

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 moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉) Dogs are my job. Whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking; this is what I do full time. Sometimes I do Instacart to get out a bit but will do that when my boyfriend is home. I am starting up my bath bomb business again so to have a companion working alongside with me is my ideal work day. My boyfriend works from home majority of the time, so there is always someone home. His kids do come over 50% of the week and are very kind and helpful with dogs that are boarding with me. They are 12 and 11 so they aren’t little kids. I have lick mats, Kong Gyro, and plenty of space for your dog to have fun at my house. My house is fenced in, we are updating the property all the time to make sure it is safe as possible. For larger dogs, I have a bell on a ziptie to put on your dog’s collar just so I can hear where they are at all times when I am outside with them. For smaller pups, I always go outside with them due to being in an open area so they are safe. I also have a 30’ leash that I can hook them to for extra safety. Inside, I make them as comfortable as possible. Whatever they like at home I try my best to provide at my house.

“Bobbi was amazing with Dewey and I felt confident of her character and integrity right from the start! She loved my little guy and helped me out with daily walks when my regular plan fell thru! Thank you, Bobbi! Dewey thanks you too! Robin”

“Adam has been the best find of Tacoma so far! He is extremely prompt in his responses and communicates easily and is flexible! I trust him completely in my apartment and with my dog. He takes Chief to the park and plays with him for a long while when he has time. I could not imagine a better friend for Chief!”

Anne R.

“Michele was awesome! She was quick to respond and great at communicating. I enjoyed the photos she sent of my dog during her walk. She was even willing to drive my dog to a super awesome park. Highly recommend!”

McKenzie L.

“Thank you for your continued amazing work with my Stella girl! We are both so grateful to you! You are always so accommodating and communicative, I appreciate you so much 🥹❤️”

Ila S.

“Holly is super helpful and nice! She was patient with our stubborn boy and flexible to meet his needs. She was also able to help us a little last minute so very grateful to her prompt and professional response. Rolo adored her”

Shannon L.

“So glad Anne could help out with my dogs! They have a hard time being alone for too long, and having her walk them and spend time with them was wonderful. Definitely recommend her!”

“Autumn was very sweet when she came to pick Sadie, my Aussie Vizsla mix up from her walk. Sadie is my most energetic and driven dog out of my 4 dogs. She came back well exercised and ready for her training session. Not only was Autumn great, Sadie Loved her two kids too! They were very respectful of Sadie and knew how to interact and listen to the direction of their mom, Autumn very well! I am usually very picky with who cares for Sadie specifically because she is a very high strung dog and her craziness is usually comparable to a Belgian Malinois where she never has a chill switch. Autumn handled her very well! I definitely recommend her for your pet care needs!”

Brianna W.

“Morgane is literally a dream come true. She understands my extremely rambunctious pup and they have their own adorable friendship. Having Morgane take him off my hands a few times a week is priceless as someone who works from home. She goes the extra mile for him in every way, driving him to his favourite park, continuing his training on his walks, sending me the funniest pics and videos. She a staple around here!”

Jenny Z.

“They’re great! Already planning to use them again!”

Evan T.

“Bronwen is wonderful to work with! She has a gift working with big dogs. We appreciate her experience and wonderful intuition!”

SUZANNE A.

“Sarah was fantastic with our pup!! Looking forward to having her help with walking our boy in the future! We’re happy to recommend her for any and all dog walking needs!”

Catherine H.

“Lelia is dependable and a great communicator. I had a hiccup with logistics and timing however she was flexible and accommodating and spent extra time with Spanky. Spanky is a shy boy and will not usually walk out of the house with a stranger, unless he is on leash. He liked Lelia enough to for a walk without being coaxed outside on his leash! I will definitely book Lelia again!”
