“Megan is such a kind soul and really a blessing and is really good with nova. Nova always gets excited when Megan comes around. I've already mentioned how wonderful she is with communication but I'll say it again because she is a rockstar”
About: (Just to clarify that headline is from Frozen.) I'm a former dog owner and I loved my elderly dog till she passed. I've also pet sat for multiple families over the last five years. I'm familiar with high anxiety dogs, dogs with diet restrictions, I've house sat for multiple dogs and cats. I also recently helped feed and home a stray mama cat and her kittens over the summer. I approach with calm, confidence and joy. Its important to me that when I first meet an animal, the critter feels safe to approach me in their own time. Some animals can be anxious so I try not to be over stimulating. I'm a care provider to a cherished family member, so I have flexibility through out the week to care for animals when I'm not with that person. My dog of ten years that passed had a special diet for a sensitive stomache, I had to wash her bedding more often. Even though she was a small breed I still took her on walks. As she entered her golden years I frequently took care of accidents, put her in diapers, took her to the doctors for her stomach and her anxiety. Gave her medicine to ease her ailments. I do the same for the animals in my care, make sure they are loved and cared for the way their per parents outline for me. Down to walks, play time and special food requirements. Our fur buddies deserve care for the unconditional love they give us.
“Minh/Mary is beyond awesome. She noticed that my idiot (lovingly) dog got into the trash and she picked it up. She also keeps me updated on my cat when they see each other. I’d never expect a dog walker to go above and beyond like this, but that’s what she does!”
“Mariana is wonderful. She has been so amazing with my dog Winston. She is very sweet and attentive to him and I feel good being away knowing that he is in her care. She also communicates well, sends pictures and updates, shows up on time, and is flexible too as she was able to help me with a last minute request outside of her reoccurring walks. 10/10 would recommend her for dog walking and pet care.”
“I am very please with Ethan. We are new to the area and as such was a big transition for my dog. Ethan was very willing to accommodate her needs. He Is willing to work with and reinforce behavior training while walking. I am super grateful to have discovered such an nice and accommodating young man.”
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life from rodents to dogs. I have experience with labradors, basset hounds, German shepherds, Shih Tzus, and cocker spaniels. I also have had bunnies, turtles, ferrets, and I currently have 2 guinea pigs! I love all dogs, big or small! When I was in high school, I got my own yellow lab- Sedona. I trained her on basic commands: sit, stay, paw, lay down, roll over, and polite walking manors! I recently retired from the Army, and I have a flexible, part time recreation job. Mornings and Evenings are typically the best time for me to schedule, but because my schedule is flexible I can make accommodations! Whatever guidance I am given to respect someone’s home I will do! As for dog walking, I keep all dogs on a leash for their safety. I can do long walks or short- fast paced or slow sniff everything walks.

“Micayla was totally a life saver this week. I needed a last minute sitter for my two pups and she did it without hesitation. She treated them as if they were her own and was totally patient with my hyper one! Definitely will recommend her to my friends and family!”
“Brianna is wonderful. She takes great care of my dog whenever she is with him. It's so nice to know that my fur baby is in good hands, weather he is going for a walk, at a playdate, or boarding with her. Absolutely will continue to call on Brianna when I need pet care.”

My goal is to provide dependable care that fits smoothly around my commitments while making pets feel safe and comfortable. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets in a client's home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks,medication and routines.

I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while they are away.
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have walked and watched hundreds of dogs from the big to the little. I have a very flexible schedule and can work with the pups on an individual basis as well.

“Our yellow lab Rosie had the best time! She got plenty of walks and attention, and Rose even helped clean up and take care of a little skin irritation while we were gone. We came home to a super happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful!”

Newtacoma dog parents share their Rover experiences
Van is my dogs favorite person!! They have put in the time and effort to get to know his personality and make him feel special and cared for. He can be difficult at times and Van has been excellent at communicating and working through those moments with us. Not to mention the best dog photographer in town! 10/10 recommend booking Savannah to care for your pet
Reese was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Casper! She is very communicative and even sent cute pics of him on the walk. Casper is a rescue so he can be a bit anxious with new people, but he warmed up to her right away! Highly recommend and we will be booking again soon!
Chris was great! He was super prompt in responding, ready next day to walk Kain and did very well with him. Being that Kain is 180lbs it can be intimidating but Chris really made himself feel like they had been buddies for years. They went on a long 3 mile walk/jog so Kain was plenty tired! We will certainly use Chris' service again and would highly recommend!
Zoe was an excellent petsitter and truly went above and beyond. She was very friendly, flexible and responsible. She made sure to communicate to me of any incidents or concerns, and made sure that my pups were doing well at all times. She provided me with daily updates such as when she arrived, how my pups were doing, and made sure to take many pictures. She was very kind and cleaned up any accidents, which she did not have to do, so I really appreciate that. She was always on time everyday as well. I also really appreciate that she wrote detailed reports of all of the dog walks, which allowed me to know furthermore how my pups were doing. Overall, Zoe was the sweetest person and did a perfect job. I would totally recommend her with anyone and I would love to book with her soon!
This was my first time using the dog walker service. Priscilla put my worries at ease and treated my pup with so much love. Great communication about timing and offered to spend some time playing with him since that seemed to be what he needed. Will definitely book again if needed!
This was our first time using Michael to walk our dogs. Michael came to our house to meet the dogs beforehand. He came in and got down to their level, petting them and played with them and allowed the dogs to get to know him. He There after, each day like clockwork he showed up and walked the dogs through the park. I would and will use Michael again next time.
Kay met with us before starting to work with us, and she is very kind and loving towards our pup! Our pup is nippy and can be stubborn haha, but she’s very understanding and still loving towards him. She was on time for his walk today and did a very extensive walk with him! He was tired afterwards and napped until we got home from work! :)
There is not much more I can say about Alyssa that I already have. She is very caring. My fur baby Myka sits and waits by the door on the days she knows she is coming. Alyssa always gets down to Myka’s level and gives her plenty of love before they start their walk. Alyssa always keeps me informed about what Myka does on their walks. She is very conscientious about letting me know about arrival time and changes in schedule. She is extremely pleasant and helpful. We have been blessed to have her in our lives and hope she never leaves.
Ignacio has walked my dogs for over a year now! From the beginning he was very great with them and continued to show up for our dogs every week! He would also always warn us when one was missing and would help with the hunt. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again! He is the absolute best!
