Top rated Lakewood doggy day care sitters
“Matt is great sitter! I was so nervous dropping Sammy off because it was the first time I let someone else watch him. My fears were gone when I saw how happy Sammy was. The next time I dropped Sammy off at Matt’s, Sammy was pulling on his leash trying to run up to Matt’s house. Sammy was so excited about the fun he was going to have. Matt does a great job running Sammy and taking him on walks. As a corgi, Sammy has a ton of energy so I’m glad Matt was able to accommodate that. Would recommend using Matt 100%.”
“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated.

About: I was born into a family with pets, and have grown up with animals my entire life, both cats and dogs. As a As an adult, I have always had a small dog, and can’t imagine not having one. People say I love animals more than humans, sometimes I think that might be true! I will take care of your pets like I take care of my own pets with care, love, and affection. I have a 7 year old Malti-poo that gets along with both cats and dogs and loves having the company! I only work 3.5 days a week. I own my own salon , so I can take small dogs to the salon with me. I will make sure that your animal is well taken care of, played with and shown affection. I have a fully fenced in backyard for your pet to play and use the bathroom. Other than that, they will be in my home roaming freely, just like my own pet.
“Love love love Samantha. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who can give your pup attention, she’s the one. She’s super thoughtful and responsive. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Being in the army I also get called to take care of others pets when they are out of town. Once I am scheduled with a pet owner they assume priority after I get off work M-F at the latest 5PM and I get weekends off I get a full understanding of the owner’s expectations with me and there pet in there home when they are out of town. I try to make constant communication with the owner too.
“My fur baby was happy to go with his dog. They are both small size it was perfect stay for Paco. I would recommend this sitter.”
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.

She has always had dogs in her family growing up like myself and she has continued to raise wonderful dogs with wonderful personalities since she was young. I was honored when she picked me to be her newest family members God Dog. She really loves on animals and wants them to have the best life they can. She is so loving and nurturing to her dogs and really goes the extra mile to make sure whatever they need they get. I am so happy for her to become a foster parent to any puppy/dog that needs extra love and care.
