Dog Walking Gig Harbor

“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!”

Allie S.

“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!”

About: I've always felt a special connection with animals. I grew up with all kinds of pets, have cared for dogs of different breeds and personalities, and have experience house-sitting small dogs and cats. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal. I pay attention to their personalities, routines, and little quirks, and I want them (and you) to feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'm patient with shy pets, happy to get outside for walks and sniff adventures, and never one to skimp on affection for a dog who loves cuddles. I have a calm, friendly 20-pound Beagle mix of my own, including experience with a rescue dog, so I understand that every pet has their own needs and comfort level. I'll treat your pet like one of my own, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure you have photo updates and peace of mind while you're away. 🐾❤️ I know what it's like to need pet care and a trusted sitter as I have used this app myself for petcare. Prefer a meet and greet first if time allows I work for myself from home, so I have flexibility in my daily schedule to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I already build my day around caring for my own small dog, Zoey, and getting outside daily. I'm happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule and routines, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending more time with them while you're away. As a protective pet owner myself, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is getting attention, companionship, and care from someone who genuinely loves being around animals. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines. Some are social butterflies, while others are a little more particular, and that’s perfectly okay! I’ll take the time to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m flexible and happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a specific routine, accommodating special preferences, or making sure your pup gets plenty of attention. Safety is always a priority, and I keep dogs leashed whenever we’re outside a securely fenced area. Communication is important to me, too! I’ll keep you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I also have a sweet, easygoing 20-pound Beagle mix named Zoey who is almost 6 years old and spayed. If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I’m happy to discuss bringing her along for a little playdate! Of course, I completely understand that not every dog wants a canine companion, so Zoey will only join us with your permission and if it’s a good fit for your pet. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Reach out with any questions!

“Great walks with Brooke!”

“Savina did a great job walking our dog while we were out for the day. We came home to a worn out and happy pup! We had peace of mind knowing Savina was watching over our baby. We recommend Savina and will book her for future walks!”

About: I currently have a little guy who is known in our neighborhood as spunky, playful and a cuddle bug! My partner and I work from home, so we are available all day to care for your pet. We love a good walk, and pride ourselves on being attentive to the little ones. My partner and I work from home, I am a mental health therapist and she is a home designer. I work about 4 hours a day Mon-Thur with Fridays off, so regular walks and playtime are a part of our routine, as well as lounging and resting with the pups. Our community would say we spoil our little guy! Toys, treats, outdoor lounging are a part of our routine. We have a fenced yard, with opportunities for exploration. I am familiar with the neighborhood, and live walking distance from the harbor. We have mapped the local vets and emergency locations, and living walking distance from Wilco and Lucky Dog in case your pup needs some extra attention.

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.

“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.

“Emma was available when we needed her. As usual, good communication and was on time for the dog walk. With the weather being nice at that time, I'm thankful she was able to take our boy to his favorite park instead of just around the block.”

About: I’ve never understood why chihuahuas loved me so much until I realized how much people don’t respect the boundaries of such small creatures. So much so, they feel the need to be aggressive and defend themselves! I know a good amount about dogs and dogs breeds, how different breeds have different needs and will strive to meet the needs of your fur-baby! I am a full-time Master’s student, but my classes are on weekends only. I have many things to read so overnights would likely be spent playing with your fur-baby before I get some reading done for my degree. To make sure you and your fur-baby feel safe with me in your home, I will make sure to talk through routines you may have with your pet(s). I know how hard it is to be away from your pet, so I will make sure to send photos and videos as requested. I want to make sure I know how to properly care for your pets, so I may have a couple extra questions to figure out how I may support you and your pet.

About: Hi I'm Amy! I love animals! I grew up with the sweetest family dog and had so much fun raising him and training him to do some fun basic tricks like sit, lay down, spin, shake, roll over, bang! I also fostered kittens and cats during college, and even taught the cats to do tricks like high five and spin! I am currently working part time as an SLPA and would love to care for your pets on my days off from the clinic because it brings me so much joy to be around them. I can follow specific directions and adapt to your fur-baby’s needs. All pets are unique, so I am more than happy to accommodate anything necessary for your pet’s specific needs.

About: I raised my goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and he’s now 5, well trained, happy and healthy living with my mom. I’m a certified EMT, spent several years working in Urgent Care, and am applying to become a firefighter paramedic. I’ve always loved animals and appreciate the respect it takes to care for them! I am not currently working as I apply for fire departments, so I am available most of the week at any hours typically. I’m very flexible with my schedule! I am very active and love going on long walks or to the park. We have a fully-fenced yard and a three-story home, so we have the space to accommodate playing and/or crating.

“Becca was great! Very professional and attentive to my dog.”

“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!”

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.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog I care for. With 7 years of experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat each dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of attention, care, and comfort while making sure they feel safe and happy I am currently working full time from 10:30-8 pm I am available all day on Wednesday’s and Thursdays! I am more than happy and willing to keep your fur babies happy on my days off. If i need to adjust my schedule to match yours, please let me know :) I have an open back and front yard that is on private property. I also have 4 dogs that will keep your doggie company :) I can also crate your dog if i have too!

About: FALL 2026. OCT-DEC Boardings: Open. Especially Holidays. Pick Up and Drop Off: Open. See my boarding schedule. Recurring Walks: After Nov 1, 4/4 Slots Open. Direct Booking: Request at least 1 night ahead. One-time Walks, Meet and Greets: Open. See my walk schedule. SCHEDULE Ask or check online. Photo journals, methods, and consents are online too, by requests. BACKGROUND My own business primarily uses group walks to build trust, socialize dogs, and normalize habits. Many dogs I board I also walk weekly in groups, so we have high trust. ABOUT ME I'm socially neurodivergent. Lots of sincerity, very little small talk. I think in feelings, so when survival mode fades over the months and your dog's own personality comes out, their feelings catch me and some reports turn into a poem. This also means I'm not the type to sell myself. Reach out for any services you may want. I'm home and board dogs full-time. I also work part time as a computer programmer when not walking dogs. I can code either inside the house in various rooms, or outside on the covered patio. I rarely leave home for more than a few hours at a time. I'm available for meet and greets, and amenable to pickup and drop-off for boardings. I share the house with one roommate who keeps to their room mostly and is good with dogs. I can board up to 4 dogs at a time. If a dog needs its own dedicated space? I have a bedroom-office that opens straight onto the backyard. Doors close it off from the rest of the house. I can stay and sleep in that room during their visit. The other socialized dogs then have use of the rest of the house. For any emergencies, I use Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital. Open 24/7 and within 10 minutes. Wood floors throughout, put in with boarding in mind. No shoes inside. Temperature and humidity gauge at floor level to maintain comfortable conditions. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Dog beds in most rooms and on the patio. I have one large and one small dog crate, though I don't find a need for them often. Fully fenced backyard with shade, grass for lounging and sniffing, and sticks for chewing. Floors swept daily. Vacuumed and mopped a few times per week. Disinfecting wipes used for any messes. I have a jumbo washer and dryer, both with steam settings that disinfect. Dog beds, blankets, and toys are washed and steamed between stays, and even during when needed. The yard is picked up daily. My dog Vesper is a dachshund-beagle mix, 11 years old, 22 lbs, spayed. She used to be neurotic and now wiggles all the time. A veteran of more boardings and group walks than I can count. Her strong habits and bond with me help set the pace for new dogs. She is current on rabies thru 2028, DAPP and Bordetella, plus monthly flea/tick/heartworm.

About: Experienced and Flexible Pet Sitter Ready to Pamper Your Pets! 🐶🐱 Hello there! I've been caring for pets practically since I learned to walk. Growing up, I assisted in looking after our beloved pets—a pit bull, fox terrier, and a cat—and they've been my inspiration and joy. They taught me valuable life skills like patience, attentiveness, and even training techniques! Spending quality time with furry friends has always been a cherished hobby of mine. Currently, I'm balancing my studies with a part-time job, which makes me flexible. With a heads-up, I can easily organize my schedule to cater to your pet's needs. I'm mobile and can travel as necessary to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness. Rest assured, your pets will receive the utmost care and attention. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions! I make pet care a daily priority by scheduling specific times for feeding, and exercise throughout the day. I also set aside longer periods in the morning and evening for walks and playtime. Weekly, I arrange training sessions, vet visits, and any other necessary care to keep the pets happy and healthy. (Upon request) When caring for pets in my home, they are in a welcoming environment where they're treated like family. I provide a cozy space, playtime, regular feeding schedules, and, for dogs, access to a spacious backyard. In clients' homes, I ensure to follow their instructions precisely: maintaining routines, providing necessary care, and keeping the environment clean and comfortable for the pets. I adapt my care based on the specific needs and preferences of each pet and owner, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience in both settings.

I'm a very active person, so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise while they are with me. I'm also very flexible so I am more than happy to satisfy any needs or special treatment!
