Kati is a wonderful care giver to our puppy, Charli! Beyond just walking and playing with her, Kati takes time to engage and stimulate Charli so that she doesn't get bored. Kati is also incredibly kind and helpful with Charli since she got spayed. I can't say enough great things about Kati's abilities to care for our fur baby!

My name is Porgi the Corgi and I love my new friend Karen! She took me to my favorite playground; PLU campus. She can keep up with me better than my mahm's wheelchair. I'm super happy and ready for afternoon naps! Oh, yeah, mummy likes her, too. Kind, fun, friendly, and all kinds of nice words. ?

Alysa is a wonderful communicator, and we were so grateful to have her walk our dogs midday while my husband was away and my work schedule was especially hectic. She took exceptional care of our pups and truly made the entire week stress-free for us.

About: Hi I'm Alexis and I’ve been a pet sitter for friends and family off and on for the last six years. That means I’ve spent over half a decade figuring out exactly who really runs the house (spoiler: it’s usually the cat). I have spent that time mastering the art of the perfect walk and the "do-not-disturb-me" nap. Neighbors and family have always relied on me because they know I don't just "check in," I actually show up and spend quality time with their pets. My real-world training comes from my own crew. Back home in Washington, I have Me-low, a sweet Golden Retriever I personally trained, and LuLu, a spunky Maltipoo. While I’m at college in Arizona, I share a home with our adopted gray tabby, Bambi. Having a mixed household of my own means I am a pro at balancing high dog energy with clear cat boundaries. What 6 Years of Experience Looks Like: Safety & Security: Whether it is a "Smooth Operator" cat or a dog that is "Born to Run," safety is my #1 priority. I have handled walks in busy areas and know how to keep pets calm around distractions. I am comfortable with all sizes, including 90lb breeds that think they are lap dogs. Cat Confidence: Thanks to Bambi, I am "fluent in cat." I know when they want to play with a feather toy and when they just want to be left alone to judge me from a distance. I respect their space while making sure they are happy and cared for. Specialized Care: I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules and administering oral medications. Whether it is a puppy in training like Me-low was or a senior pet who needs extra patience, I make sure they stay healthy and never skip a beat. Open Communication: I am big on keeping you in the loop. You will get regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see exactly how much fun your babies are having. I know the stress of being away, and I want you to feel at ease from wherever you are. My Promise to You I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies behind. To me, your pet isn't just a "booking"; they are the star of the show. Whether it’s high-energy walks or quiet "golden hour" naps, I promise that for every tail wag they give and every purr they make... I’ll be watching them. I am currently home from college and my schedule is wide open till mid-July. I am available Monday through Sunday for full-time care, walks, and check-ins. Because I am not juggling classes right now, your pets are my main priority. Please note: I will be heading back to Arizona for the upcoming semester between July 20th and August 1st, so I am looking for bookings that take place before that move. Until then, I have total flexibility to stick to your specific routine and provide plenty of companionship for your "babies." I provide care exclusively in the client's home, as I do not offer boarding in my own home at this time. This allows your pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment while you are away. When I am in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I prioritize a "safety-first" environment by doing a quick sweep for anything your pet shouldn't get into and making sure all doors and gates are secure. I am very diligent about leashes and harnesses during walks to prevent any accidents. I believe trust is built through communication. You can expect regular photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and following their normal rhythm. Whether it is keeping a cat's litter area pristine or ensuring a dog gets their exact training commands, I am dedicated to maintaining your home exactly how you like it. If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to ask!

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, and all of their unique personalities! I have owned dogs with cancer and also a few reactive ones. Therefore, I know each dog has their own specific needs, and I love to spoil them in their own way! I currently work 2.5 hour shifts as a coach 3 times a week, besides that I am able to give them all the love and affection they need. Besides these short shifts your dogs will rarely ever be left alone! I have a dog of my own who goes on walks daily, and also plays enrichment games everyday! He would love to have a friend to do it with! I have a fenced yard, and a very friendly and energetic dog of my own to keep your fur baby busy! I take all dogs for a walk 1-2 times a day so they have time out of the house to go on an adventure as well! I try to take them on different routes each time so it’s more exciting and interesting for them, this also applies to my dog walking service! Besides walks, I also include multiple types of enrichment activities for them!

About: I have had dogs all my life. After I moved out I raised a chocolate lab from 8 weeks old until he passed at 16 yrs. During that time frame I was also raising my Weimaraner at the same time! Both were high energy dogs (and Kaiser, my weim, still is). This has given me experience large breed, high energy dogs. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I am also no stranger to small dogs as I have also cared for my friends pomeranian. I am able to do drop ins before work, during lunch (depending on distanc), and after work. I am able to stay the night if necessary. My pets have full access to the house and are always well fed, cared for, and loved whether its play time or just hanging out watching TV.

About: In a quiet neighborhood in Spanaway you will find Tony’s “casa de pets.” This casa or house has a large fence in back yard for your pet to run, play, and do the doo that they do. We have flexible hours as well as we can pick up your pet for a small fee. If your’ pet is friendly with others there are several nearby parks within 10 minutes. We also have the ability to take them to several dog parks, one of them being the awesome Steilacoom dog park. We love to play, spend quality time, and snuggle with pets. In the past we have owned several dogs and several crested geckos. My work is seasonal which allows me to have some extra time on my hands. Both my partner and I love animals. We are at a point in our life we don’t want to have a pet full time but truly miss having them around. So here is where Rover will benefit all of us! We get to have pet play dates and snuggle from time to time while you get to enjoy time away without worry. My favorite dog is the Rhodesian Ridgeback. My partner loves manatees and alpacas. We don’t have the space for an alpaca and the manatee well that is just not going to happen unless we move to Florida near a river. If you have an alpaca farm we would love to visit! Safety is important to us. There are several animal hospitals within 10 minutes of our house. We have both been through the elderly dog years. We have also taken care of friends’ dogs that have health issues. We are able to give most medication. We have not given any injections but we can be shown how to with your pet if needed. FYI during the 4th of July we do get a lot of neighbors that shoot of fireworks so if your dog has issues with that we may not be able to help during that time period.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs around me at all times. I currently have 3 of my own fur babies, and while they’re definitely a handful (or pawful), I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing, walking, and just spending time with pets and I can’t wait to be able to treat your animals like my own! During my services, I always make sure to include at least three pictures of your pets when I stop by, I know how long a day can feel without seeing your animals. My main goal is to make sure you and your pet(s) are satisfied with the services I provide because I know just how important our furry friends are to all of us and our families! I also have experience with bird, rodent, small reptile and amphibian care! I’m happy to watch any and all types of our animal family members while you’re away ! I have been in love working with animals since my first Girl Scout visit to an animal shelter in 3rd grade. I currently have five rescues of my own (two dogs, two cats, and a beardie) and I would to meet and help provide care for your fur babies as well! I make sure to provide the same quality of care to your pet as you would. They are our extra, furry family members and deserve to be treated as such, especially when they are excited and waiting to see their people!

About: I grow up with dogs and cats. I have always watched not only my family’s dogs and cats but friends as well when they have been out of town or at work. I currently work weekdays but I’m available after 5pm. I’m completely free on weekends! I love to run so if you have a hyper pup I can always run them instead of walk. I unfortunately can’t have pets where I live but I’m more than happy to watch your babies in the comfort of your home. Plus it’s where they are the most comfortable.
