Pet care experience

Hello Tacoma, my name is Locke. I come highly recommended by the Rover community. Seriously, check out my reviews! 💯 My wife and I have a 9-year-old, and a mostly outdoor cat who comes back once in a while to be fed. I'm a guitar, bass, voice and ukulele teacher, who lives with and has owned animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm with an Irish setter, cows and horses and have fostered a number Pitts in my time. Animals tend to love me, and I've never had a bad dog interaction; your pups and I will get along famously. Cats are welcome, as are rabbits (I have rabbit husbandry experience), mice/rats, chinchillas and ferrets. Large breeds = no problem (Edit. Let's cut it off at 100lbs.😅) I live on the south end of Seattle, have a music studio in Fremont and am frequently downtown. I can stay with your animals overnight at your house or mine, or just have a fun outing with them! We have a fenced back yard for boarding needs. All the best, Locke Bell

Locke has been one of the best Rover I've found for my pups! He takes them on nice long walks! He also ensures they get enough mental stimulation since they are master sniffers. He is highly responsive and nice!

Locke did a great job with my pup! He sent pictures and gave a recap after the walk. He also listened to concerns prior to walk and took them seriously. 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic! Locke is very dependable and has such a kind and caring demeanor. He shows up exactly as agreed and gets right to work. My puppy trusts women more and has deep anxiety around men, but he warmed up to, and trusted, Locke really quickly and really looks forward to their daily walks. Locke takes his job seriously and clearly cares deeply for pets. I truly enjoy working with Locke.

Our dog Banjo had a great walk with Locke! When we first met Locke we knew he would be a great fit for our shy/nervous pup. He has a calm but confident presence that shy dogs really respond to. You always want to feel like your dog walker enjoys spending time with your dog and can appreciate their little quirks and we felt that way with Locke. We look forward to many future walks with him!
