Dog Walking Minter

“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!”

“Alright... where to begin! Brian did a wonderful meet and greet with my boys (two newfoundlands) and walked them today without me..that may seem like a strange thing to say but Byron (my younger boy) refuses to go on a walk for anyone but me - not even my husband! He was perfectly fine on going on the walk with Sinjin (my older boy) and Brian. No temper tantrums, no refusal to walk. NONE of it. Brian took them on a good walk, they had fun and their were no problems.”

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.

About: I have had dogs in my family since I can remember, including a husky, shiba inus, a rescued staffordshire terrier, red labrador, and an icelandic sheepdog. I have experience training them as puppies, including walking, tricks, and obedience. I have experience walking 2-3 dogs at once, as well as experience with elderly dogs and health issues, including a seizure disorder and asthmatic symptoms. I am currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule, and am able to prioritize your pet! I am available for walking and house-sitting or check-ins any time at the moment. Feel free to reach out and I’ll do what I can for you. At home, I prioritize my animal’s freedom and playtime as they are very energetic. While I do not board animals, I am happy to work around your schedule to make sure yours are taken care of. I can crate them, spend time outside, teach small obedience lessons or tricks to keep them busy, or provide other activities they already know in your home.

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a dedicated pet parent for years. Caring for my own pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I understand how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I maintain a consistently open schedule and am always available to provide support, collaborate, or communicate as needed. Reliability and responsiveness are always my priorities. I do have 2 children, a 11 year old and a 7 year old. If requesting house sitting they will need to stay with me. In clients’ homes, I provide personalized, attentive care for animals, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their familiar environment. My routines include feeding according to dietary needs, administering medications if required, refreshing water bowls regularly, and maintaining a clean living space. I also offer enrichment through playtime, walks, and gentle companionship tailored to each pet’s temperament. I monitor behavior and health closely, communicating any concerns to the owner promptly. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

“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: I started my own pet care and dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was only 10 years old, and my family fostered dogs for years. I have grown up around cats and primarily Siberian huskies, and I currently have a 10yo husky named Tallulah and a 1yo old cat named Fannie. Friends rely on me to pet sit for households of up to 3 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens! Nothing brings me more joy than bonding with an animal. I also volunteered as an advanced dog walker for Humane Colorado in Denver. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I love taking time to bond with furry friends to get a break from staring at screens! I am happy to accomodate whatever is needed for your pets in your home. Feeding, picking up after them, walking, and crating are all things I am comfortable with. **please note if you book in-home sitting, my own dog would need to be able to stay in your home while I am there. She is dog and cat friendly and not destructive.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience! I grew up with multiple dogs and have spent years walking and caring for pets, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with different routines, energy levels, and personalities—and I always make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. Mondays–Wednesdays are my off days and my most flexible time. I work Thursday–Sunday afternoons starting around 2, and my mornings are usually reserved for staying active—walks, workouts, or anything that gets me moving. I don’t have pets currently, but I’ve grown up caring for family and friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with most breeds, prioritizing calm, safe, attentive care.

About: I've had dogs of my own for 20 years. I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 Holland lop bunny. I grew up on a farm with dogs, horses, cats, and lamas. I love all animals! I work at a school so I'm off for the summer! This leaves my schedule pretty open day to day. Most weekends are open as well. I can stay in your home with your pets or stop by as needed. I'm open to follow your care plan. Whatever keeps your pets comfortable.

“I went out of town for 6 days and Craig was able to walk, feed, and provide companionship for my dog. He was well liked by Obi and when I arrived back he was happy to show me Craig with his tail wagging. Craig provided exactly what Obi needed.”

“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: Available for last minute/odd schedule requests. Everything sets me apart from others because I've learned over all my yrs experience that when trust is shown trust is given. Then everything else falls into place. ***Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.*** Animals are my escape I enjoy all of them! Life would be boring without them. They bring so much happiness to me!!!l Life is just better with them in it to enjoy with us. Remember ***(Available for last minute/odd schedule requests.)*** Fur babies run the roost! I usually take them out every half hour just for exercise or fun as well as potty breaks (which is a good way to break bad marking habits for ones training). If it's a nice day usually we are outside all day playing and walking teaching the ones who are still in need of guided assistance. Which actually makes things way easier on me. Unless of course it's just to hot to be out side. Rainy days are our lazy days or indoor activity days. Lots of cuddles and loves. My personal fur babies are not kenneled but I do have kennels for ones who prefer it. It's whatever makes them happiest. Or feel the safest. I'm a pretty good judge of character when it comes to fur babies. We read one another very well. Which in turn makes us more comfy with one another. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with one ever.i know when to back off or come in for loves. Mutal respect is the best policy I feel.

About: I have been taking care of dogs from a very young age, and I have been a professional sitter and boarder for a little over 3 years now. I recently moved to the area and am looking to rebuild my clientele. I am an animal advocate who has spent a lot of time volunteering with different agencies to help find forever homes for abandoned fur babies, and working for programs that went out and helped the homeless get the right care for their pets. I have experience with hyper pets, shy pets, large and small. I love them all the same. Let me spoil your babies while you’re away, and take comfort in knowing that they are safe and loved with me. I am currently an online student and doing a part time work from home job, so I will be home and available for them all day besides appointments or errands I have a large fenced yard that I make sure to walk the perimeter of to make sure there are no escape points. I also have a huge deck for them to lounge on and they have free roam of my home. I do have a toddler in the home, she is very shy with animals and has grown up learning the importance of being gentle and nonintrusive with them.

“Thank you for being so patient with our old boy”

About: Ive grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I spent a lot of time with my cousin being a breeder taking her dogs to shows, I have learned how to take care of dogs and how to approach the ones that can be a handful at times. I work a full time Monday- friday job but on my lunches I can stop by for check ins and walks and after work as well. Weekends are always open too. If doing check ins I can clean up any accidents and make sure they are fed and have water(depending on feeding schedules) and I always have local parks and routes pre planned for a good walk

About: As an experienced dog sitter, I go beyond basic care by truly understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have a natural ability to read their body language and adapt to their moods, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medications, following specific dietary plans, or providing enriching playtime and walks, I tailor my approach to each dog’s routine. My calm and attentive demeanor helps even the most anxious dogs feel at ease, and I maintain clear communication with pet owners for peace of mind. Having cared for my own senior Pomeranian, Zeus, until he was 14, I am particularly attuned to the special needs of older dogs, including administering medications and adjusting routines for their comfort. I currently have an year and a half year old Yellow Labrador Retriever named cooper, so well experienced with puppies I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or just extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to be there consistently. I love getting outside for walks and making sure dogs stay mentally and physically happy while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, energy levels, and temperaments, including senior dogs and puppies. I always keep a close eye during walks, potty breaks, feeding, and playtime to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm environment.
