“Adriana is a new dog walker for us after our long time walker moved. She has been extremely responsive and communicative. She asked a lot of questions about the dogs and has stepped right in without a hitch. We look forward to continuing with her!”


“Very kind and patient! Was so amazing with my anxious dog with stranger danger and was willing to work with us to get her warmed up! I feel very safe leaving my dog in her care and 100% recommend for anyone who may have a special dog that needs some extra reassurance meeting new people 😊”


About: Hey, I’m Diana! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and grew up with them my whole life. I’ve worked as a vet assistant for 2 years, and have bottle fed multiple litters of kittens so I know how to take care of pets and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they’re having a good time! :) I am self employed with a flexible schedule, so my availability can vary week to week—but I usually have lots of open time! Feel free to reach out and I’ll do my best to fit you in! I treat every animal like I do my own—with love, patience, and lots of attention. I follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for in their own space.

“Kathy is so patient and loving with my male pitbull. He loves to go on walks and is very excitable but also can be reactive. I appreciate Kathy for her willingness to take him on and show him such a good time every visit!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8yrs old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I’ am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends after 2pm, and weekdays after 430pm I have a fence yard, crates and gates at home, we can also use your own crates if that works with you. Thank a bunch

“Issana is wonderful with the dogs and they are very happy when she comes over to give them a walk. I'm grateful for her loving attention of our children while we are away for long days at work and travels.”

Whether walking your dog, dropping in for visits, or sitting I will love your dog like they are my own. Following your instructions very carefully to assure you that your dog is well cared for.

About: My experience mainly consists of taking care of my own dachshund, Hazel! I love spending time playing, walking, and bathing her. I have brief experience caring for friends and families animals. My work experience consists of childcare, which surprisingly can translate a lot to animal care- learning how to problem solve, making a safe environment, and always ensuring basic needs are met. I am studying environmental science at UW, so learning and caring for animals is a passion of mine I’m currently working part time and taking classes! My work schedule is every other week and my classes are online. I have free time to spend doing something I love, but it varies per week.

“Taylor has a special connection with dogs. My dogs accepted them into our pack almost immediately. I have never seen that from them before. It is very important to me to find a person to connect with my dogs. Taylor knew exactly how to approach them and make them comfortable. Absolutely amazing!”


About: Hello, I provide flexible and reliable care for your fur baby! I have 2 very amazing kids ages 16 and 11. I was employed at Doozy Dog Club taking care of multiple (sometimes over 60) dogs at night by myself!!!) I am very detail oriented as I know every fur baby has a different schedule a different diet and some even need medication/vitamins with their meals. I love trying to teach dogs new tricks and work on their behavior. I will always provide a detailed summary of each day with pictures!!! Being as though I am a mother I do work from home during the week but I am able to take breaks and tend to your little one. Should you have any other questions or have considered moving forward I am only a Bark away! I work from home so I’m available for walks and potty breaks and your baby will never be left unattended. That means lots of playtime and training! I currently live in a 3 bedroom Townhome with a small backyard area! I am able to keep pups separated if need be. We have a small dog park in my complex for potty breaks and we love going to Fort Steilacoom Park as well as Chamber Bay for some extra fun ♥️

“Halle was great! Willing to help us out when we realized last minute that we would need a daily dog walker during our trip. She was prompt, reliable, and trustworthy. Would highly recommend.”


About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with two senior cats, a ragdoll kitten, two mini schnauzer puppies, and regularly foster dogs. Every dog or puppy I foster learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.

About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was 15 years old. Currently have one dog of my own. I have fostered and rehabilitated dogs and studied animal psychology on my free time. I am a stay at home mom, 2 children in the home. I also have an 8 month old German Shepherd so I am already home, taking care of and entertaining my dog. I have open availablity, 7 days a week. I am offering Overnight/extended stay, day time care, etc. Earliest drop off 6am, latest pick up 12am but I am willing to accomodate with notice. I also offer basic grooming (bath, brush, nail trim) and basic training/obedience/potty training. I have a fenced yard, dogs are never left unattended. Care will be case by case and I have no problems making any kind of accomodations. I can provide security, reassurance and compassion while your pet is in my care. Any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc. Just let me know. I also have experience with guinea pigs and rats!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog since I was 10 and begged my parents for him. I adore all dogs and will treat yours like my own. I love being active and playing with dogs. This past year I’ve volunteered to walk dogs at the local shelter too. I am a student athlete in college, so responsibility and care is something I understand very well. I am a hard worker and will communicate every step of the way. I am currently back home from college on summer break so my schedule is completely open and I have plenty of time to give your pup love! In my home, I have a fenced yard and a super friendly black lab for your pup to play with. I can crate my dog, your dog, or both depending on what is preferred. In yours, I will follow instructions well and take excellent care of your dog and your home.

About: I have spent my entire life around all sorts of animals! I worked as vet assistant for two years, an adoption’s assistant and pet care specialist at my local humane society before moving to Florida. While in Florida I pet sat full time independently for 3 years and gained a lot of experience dealing with anxious and reactive dogs. We decided to make the move to Washington and thought I would jump back on rover 😊 Dog walking and pet sitting is my full time job so no matter the time or day, I am always available for your pet’s needs! I prefer to stick to your pets usual routine so please be sure to inform me of every detail! I am extremely respectful and patient with all walks of life and will go at whatever pace your pet is comfortable with. Whether it be snuggling under some blankets, going on a hike, or simply sitting and watching birds out the window, I am here for it!

Sophia G.
“Sophia has watched our 2 Miniature Dachshunds Motley and Hoagie a couple times. Hoagie has separation anxiety and he right away was so comfortable with Sophia and does not need medication when we leave with her watching him. She also came up with enrichment activities to keep them entertained that they both loved. Recently she stayed with them for a week and the house was cleaner when we arrived home than when we left it. Sophia is a great communicator and shares updates frequently with videos. I’m so thankful that we have her available for the boys and highly recommend her services. She is great!!”
