Dog Walking Minter

About: Hiya, I'm electrical apprentice inbetween jobs and eager to get some nature time in with some new doggos. I'm accustomed to walking more than 7 miles a day and love hiking with my own girl, Lucy. From horses and donkeys, to rabbits and dogs, I've been caring animals my whole life. Grew up training our family dogs as AKC therapy dogs, but now I focus on mental and physical enrichment for Lucy. I love dogs and working with them to provide them with the most beneficial walking experience in whatever way that looks for each individual dog. I'm experienced with high energy/anxious dogs, though I love working with a variety of energy levels. I do prefer medium to large dogs, but I'm open to new experiences with smaller ones. I have pretty flexable availability except Thursdays. I will require a meet and greet before committing to any bookings. I prioritize my dogs mental and physical enrichment through games, exercises courses, hiking, anything really that engages her mind and body. I am currently not looking to walk new dogs with my girl, but im not opposed to group walks in the future if I find dogs with compatible energy.

“They’re great! Already planning to use them again!”

About: I was born and raised into a family that always had a dog or cat or the combo of the two. I work in the equine facility so I'm around horse farms and they tend to have dogs and i love every one of them. I worked in a dog grooming salon for a 1½ years so I've worked with a variety of sizes, ages, and temperament of dogs. I currently work morning and evening based jobs so your pet gets my attention mid-morning to late afternoon. My schedule is super flexible and I can make adjustments to whatever the pet parent is needing. I have one dog whos coming on almost 3 years old. Shes gets along with all dogs shes been around and loves to play and keep them entertained. Pets get fed 2-3 times a day per instruction after meals we go out to play and go potty. If I have to pop out for a little while pets will be put in their safe space whether that be a crate, bedroom, laundry room ect. As soon as i return we will go out for potty and play time and they we will hang out and play until bedtime

“Brendan is reliable and wonderful with our Siberian Husky! We really appreciate that he connects with our pup and takes him on long, brisk walks.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who knows just how important it is to leave your pup somewhere that feels like home. When I look for a sitter myself, I want peace of mind—knowing my dog is safe, loved, and having a great time. That’s exactly what I offer to you and your dog. My partner and I share our home with our happy, high-energy 2.5-year-old male pup, who we raised from a puppy. He’s super social and always ready to help new dog friends burn off some steam—seriously, he’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime! My partner also grew up breeding miniature English Bull Terriers, so between the two of us, we’ve got years of hands-on experience with all kinds of dogs. When you come to pick up your dog, you won’t have to wonder how it went—you’ll know they were in good hands. Happy, tired, and well-loved—just how it should be. Pet care is built right into my daily life. I work from home, so I'm around all day to give your dog the attention and care they need. I take a midday break to walk my dog 1.5–2 miles, and your pup will be right there with us, getting exercise and fresh air. After work, we go for another walk and spend time playing fetch in the yard. With our fenced yard and dog door, they can enjoy safe outdoor time throughout the day too. Your dog will be an active part of our home life and get plenty of movement, love, and attention from morning to night. 🐶 What you can expect: One-on-one attention: I only host one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full care and focus. Daily walks and outdoor play to keep them active and happy. A dog door to our fenced yard—they can come and go as they please (safely!). A calm, secure, and loving environment where your dog can relax just like they would at home.

“Adam has been the best find of Tacoma so far! He is extremely prompt in his responses and communicates easily and is flexible! I trust him completely in my apartment and with my dog. He takes Chief to the park and plays with him for a long while when he has time. I could not imagine a better friend for Chief!”

“Tara was great when I needed walking breaks for my puppy. She is easy to communicate with, reliable, handled my puppy well and even brought in packages inside that I had delivered. Tara was so kind and friendly at our meet and great. Will definitely book again if needed in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for animals at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also have experience caring for special-needs cats and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve cared for budgies, cockatiels, and cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and behavior so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide the care they need while treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to giving every pet the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry family members. I’m available throughout the weekdays/weekends and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their regular routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I can care for your pet in the comfort of your home or, if you’re comfortable with it, in my home. My yard is fully fenced, providing a secure space for dogs to play and explore safely. I understand how important it is to stay connected while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates with texts, photos, or calls to let you know how your pet is doing. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care to help them feel happy and at ease.

“Patrick was amazing; super laidback, confident and reliable with our rowdy bunch, especially our insecure special needs senior pup. Went above and beyond with dog walks and kept us abreast of all the important and interesting happenings back at home, everything we wanted, nothing we didnt. Exactly what you want from Rover”

About: Experienced and Flexible Pet Sitter Ready to Pamper Your Pets! 🐶🐱 Hello there! I've been caring for pets practically since I learned to walk. Growing up, I assisted in looking after our beloved pets—a pit bull, fox terrier, and a cat—and they've been my inspiration and joy. They taught me valuable life skills like patience, attentiveness, and even training techniques! Spending quality time with furry friends has always been a cherished hobby of mine. Currently, I'm balancing my studies with a part-time job, which makes me flexible. With a heads-up, I can easily organize my schedule to cater to your pet's needs. I'm mobile and can travel as necessary to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness. Rest assured, your pets will receive the utmost care and attention. Looking forward to meeting your furry companions! I make pet care a daily priority by scheduling specific times for feeding, and exercise throughout the day. I also set aside longer periods in the morning and evening for walks and playtime. Weekly, I arrange training sessions, vet visits, and any other necessary care to keep the pets happy and healthy. (Upon request) When caring for pets in my home, they are in a welcoming environment where they're treated like family. I provide a cozy space, playtime, regular feeding schedules, and, for dogs, access to a spacious backyard. In clients' homes, I ensure to follow their instructions precisely: maintaining routines, providing necessary care, and keeping the environment clean and comfortable for the pets. I adapt my care based on the specific needs and preferences of each pet and owner, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience in both settings.

About: I had 4 dogs growing up and my parents always had me on a tight schedule with taking care of them. I fed them every morning at 6AM or 10AM and at 5-6PM every night. I also walked them and cleaned their messed when needed, and finally i never let their water bowl go dry. I love dogs and when I’m around them long enough they’ll love me. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets during the week. Im currently trying to make any extra cash I can right now. Which ever way a dog has to he taken care of I can do it. Each of my dogs growing up had different food and ways they needed to eat so I always took care of that

About: I'm from a large family farm. I have been taking care of pets all my life. Experience in dog breeding, training, care, and much more. I do this full time. I'd love to give your pets lots of love and care! My week days and weekends are flexible. I'm here to put your mind at ease while you're gone. Able to provide care as needed in your home. Able to take pet out for play if needed. Not currently able to board pets at this time.

About: Responsible pet sitter for over 30 years. Grew up taking care of my family’s dog Bebe (chowchow and German Sheppard mix) and other family and friend's pets over the years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and mixes. Experienced with all sizes. I work from home full time and take a lot of mandatory breaks. I live next to an arboretum and take plenty of walks throughout my day. I live alone and keep a really clean, smoke free apartment. Your pet will be under direct supervision and care throughout the day with as many check ins as needed. I am able to care for your pets in your home as well.

“Amanda is the best! We love her and more importantly, Mack (our dog) loves her! She is great with communication, always goes above and beyond, and we are so thankful for her! Thanks for everything Amanda!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with them and continuing to care for dogs for friends and others over the years. I’m also the proud owner of an 8-year-old Newfoundland/Collie mix, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. However, I also grew up with dachshunds and love the little ones just the same. One of my strengths is reading a dog’s personality and responding to what they need. I’m naturally affectionate with friendly, social dogs, but I’m equally comfortable giving shy or timid dogs the space and time they need to feel safe. I never want to force an interaction—I’d rather let a dog build trust at their own pace. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. Communication is also very important to me. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when someone else is caring for your pet, so owners can expect me to be responsive and keep them informed. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to provide outdoor time, exercise, and walks throughout the day. My pup, Drogo, is very kind and loves other dogs and he's especially gentle with the little ones. He can be a little grumpy with puppies, so that is a case-by-case basis (and I would encourage a meet and greet beforehand). Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether your dog wants walks and playtime, lots of pets, or simply a calm person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel comfortable. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around other commitments. Your dogs will be my priority. My flexibility also allows me to be responsive to owners and accommodate changes when possible. I want both you and your dog to feel like they’re getting plenty of attention—not like they’re just another appointment on my calendar. Safety, trust, and making your dog feel comfortable are always my priorities. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for yours rather than assuming every dog needs the same kind of care. For dogs staying in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and live in a very walkable neighborhood for regular walks and exercise. My dog, Drogo, is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but I think introductions are important. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable and we can make sure our dogs are a good fit—especially with puppies or dogs who may need a little more time to adjust. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your dog’s established routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding meals, walks, medications or special care instructions, doors and gates, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to a dog’s body language. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to let them set the pace. And of course, communication is a big priority for me. I’ll be responsive and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in my care.

About: I love animals and always have. I believe they set us free and cure the pain we harbor. I am trying to get my health back in order while making an extra income to support unexpected life changes! I currently work full time. So working around that schedule until I move out of the position in the near future. But after work I walk my dog and try to get in as much play time in my fenced yard as possible. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space for your baby to run and play! I have locking doors and a gate to make sure they are secure when necessary as well as outdoor cameras survailing my property.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 10 years, providing consistent, attentive care for dogs of different sizes and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering oral medications, light grooming such as brushing, and, most importantly, giving plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra exercise, gentle care, or simply companionship. I am currently working 5 days a week, and will be available on my days off. I miss dog sitting/dog walking as a hobby and would love to start doing it again. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs at my house, so I prefer to take care of the pets at the owners home. I would care for them by playing, taking them outside as needed, staying on a feeding schedule and possibly bathing if the owners request !

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, leopard geckos, rodents and am learning how to take care of snakes :) I’m very comfortable with dogs and understanding their cues and reading their body language. I have volunteered for the human society and have fostered dogs as well. I’m comfortable giving medication and work with whatever special needs your pet may have. I’ve adjusted my house sitting rate to be set with the level of quality care I provide during the stay while I leave my own pets and family in mind. I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule so can accommodate any type of routine needs your pet may have. Would be able to discuss what works best. Will take care of your dog(s) or pets like I would want my dogs taken care of. Pets are family members in our home and treated with love and keeping safety the top priority.
