“Mollay kept me up to date on when she would arrive at my house and when she left. She got great pictures of my boy and followed my instructions perfectly! She's the first one I go to for any last minute walks I need.”
“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. ?”
“Alicia was very flexible and understanding! She had great communication, fast reply times, and sent a lot of cute pictures! Even though we just hired her to walk Bella she showed our cat love as well. We would definitely trust her with the care of both our girls again in the future!”
“I have been using Allison’s Dog walking services since February and I am so happy we chose her! Ali is extremely responsive and willing to help. She has always been very reliable with stellar customer service. Jazzy gets very excited about her walks. I know that Ali takes as good of loving care of our Jazzy as we do. I highly recommend Ali!!”
About: Hi! My name is Tatiana (Tanya). And I love pets! My parents have instilled love and care for all creatures since early childhood. At 14, I have saved my cat from an infection from a rat's bite by performing an operation. Since then, I have chosen a path to become a nurse. I took care of a mini quail farm at 16. I grew up around dogs. We had two Chihuahuas and one mutt. I loved them all dearly. When I started my own family,I got a dog as well. I dove into training him. By one, he knew all standard commands. When I immigrated to the United States,I did all I could to move my dog with me. It was hard. But I accomplished it. Now I have made dog care my focus for my new career path. I signed up to volunteer at a human society as a specialist in dog enrichment. I socialize the shelter dogs, play with them, and make sure they are comfortable and ready to be adopted. I have several clients who trust me to walk and pet sit their pups. I love to spend time with my doggies. I am a student and a volunteer. I am from Russia and only learn English. I have afternoons and weekends available for pet care if all sorts. I walk several dogs for an extended time around neighborhoods and parks. I am training to become a dog groomer and I am learning many techniques of working with all sorts of dogs. I have a fenced yard. And I also have a crate. I have a dog stroller for dogs that get tired on walks. I have a variety of leads and leashes.
About: Walks and love for all your “fur babies” here! I have a lot of animal experience after doing 4-H for several years growing up. I know cats, dogs, birds, horses, etc. Pets are family after all! I have a very flexible schedule. Trusting people with your family can be intimidating. Knowing your companion is in safe hands is important! I am happy to send pet pictures!! I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m available every day of the week besides occasionally when I work at a golf course! :) Harness or collar, and leash are a must. Closing doors and keeping an eye out for little ninjas trying to run away! Gotta keep them safe
“Heather is awesome. She came over to meet the dogs and they instantly loved her- which is rare for one of my mine. She was on time for their walked and walked them the whole time. She made sure to lock the door and things on the way out. We look forward to weekly walks from Heather :)”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very young and they have always been very special to me. We have a large house with a fenced backyard and two black labs with different temperaments. Whiskey is 7 and more on the submissive side, whereas Ginny is 3 and very rambunctious. Her excitement is a bit much when people/animals walk through the front door, but give her five minutes and she’s a good girl :) Both get along well with other dogs, love to play, and are prolific nappers. We also have a 9 year old son who has grown up around animals his whole life. We would love for your fur baby to join us! I am available for drop offs between 6 A.M. and pickups as late as 8:30 P.M. I do have to leave the house to drop off and pick my son up from school, but it’s not far. I will occasionally need to go to the store or run an errand, but won’t be gone from the house for more than 1.5 hours. I have a fenced yard and 2 labs to keep your dog company, plus two large crates if you prefer. We also have lots of bones and dog toys. We keep the house cleanish but do allow animals on the furniture if you are ok with that. Our dogs usually sleep in our room at night, but can be flexible if we make them.
“Cindy is AMAZING! We have a dog-reactive Bully breed who is more on the high maintenance side, and Cindy has been a gem through this process so far. As a first time Rover user for my 7-year old dog, I feel so comfortable with her. Thank you Cindy! Titus loves you!”
About: Looking for more than just a walk around the block? My hour-long walks are fun, engaging adventures where your pup gets exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of love! Whether it’s exploring trails, sniffing out new scents, or practicing good leash manners, I make every walk a rewarding experience. Dogs naturally respond to me because I speak their language—I understand their body signals, energy levels, and what motivates them. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or in training, I tailor each walk to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience as a dog trainer, safety and communication are my top priorities. Your dog will come home happy, fulfilled, and ready for a well-earned nap. Let’s make your pup’s day more exciting—book a walk today! I am a current dog walker & trainer so I will try my best to fit you and your dog in it. We can set up a day and time that works for everyone. I work with all types of dogs big and small that are in need of some training. Maybe it's potty training, simple commands or just a calmer dog. I will show you how I have a calm dog who's willing to listen to you always
About: Extreme dog lover! Extensive medical experience, very active person and I have a very spoiled but well behaved Labrador retriever of my own. I’m very well versed in obedience training as well and can help with basic commands. My dog can sit, lay down, heel, fetch a ball, frisbee, or stick. He also swims during the warmer months and gets exercise everyday. Mental and physical stimulation are very important factors to a dogs health and obedience. I would love to help you out and love on your puppers as much as I love on my own. Bonus points if my pup can come along and they play nicely together. I’m new to this app so let’s see how it goes! Best wishes finding the perfect fit! I work part time as a nurse so my schedule varies. On my days off I’d love to incorporate another dog into my routine and have a play date for Lincoln. I have a shared yard, and put my dog on a 25ft leash when it’s potty time. There is not a fully fenced yard. We also frequent the Steilacoom dog park so if your dog does well in that environment we can go on field trips.
