Dog Walking Gig Harbor

“Jerry is amazing! We were really nervous to bring a new face around to care for our 2 big dogs. Like so many of us, our dogs have also been affected by the absence of dog parks/solitude of Covid. But Jerry settled our fears right away, and it was apparent that he knew exactly how to “speak” to our “de-socialized” teenager dogs. Jerry is so patient and kind with our wild furry friends, while also helping them become better community members. He has formed a true friendship with them and we all completely adore Jerry! He can always be relied upon to show up with a smile - we always look forward to seeing Jerry!”

“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!”

“You couldn't find a better person to entrust your four-legged! She is kind-hearted, a natural animal person, and our blind dog, Bailey, adapted to her immediately. She's so considerate and had a relaxed affinity for our doggo, and I will return to her again and again! Thanks Erin!!!!”

Gabrielle M.

“Cambria was accommodating and came to our house for a meet and greet with Spanky, prior to our scheduled walks. She is quick to respond, communicates well. She did a great job with our shy boy. We will book her again for future walks.”

“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”

About: I’m a retired professional who enjoys staying active while providing dependable, compassionate care for pets. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, administering routine medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my care to each pet’s and owner’s unique needs and routine. I also believe communication is essential, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and prompt responses throughout your pet’s stay. Pet sitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most rewarding part of the experience. If you’re looking for a mature, reliable sitter who will provide exceptional care and give you peace of mind, I’d be honored to care for your furry family members. My schedule is flexible; especially with advance notice. Whether it’s walks and potty breaks or overnight sitting I can usually accommodate any schedule, including the holidays. Although typically we will not board at our home, on occasion we’ll make exceptions depending on the breed and temperament. We have two Shih Tzu’s that are extremely playful and nice with other pets. In your home, I will take care of your pets as you would.

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: 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.

“The BEST dog walker in the north end! My dogs love her, she is conscientious about their health and she works with them when they are demonstrating not-so-good walking habits.”

“Allie is great!! Our dogs are quite particular about who they accept and they got along with Allie immediately. We’re transitioning form daycare to walks at home (a big change for our pups) and Allie has made us all feel comfortable.”

Megan A.

“Thank you and sorry for the issue with the alarm!”

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

“Kaden was great. Mercy, who can be very timid, took to her right away. I would definitely trust my baby to her again.”

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.
