“Megan was awesome! She was super flexible with my last minute booking and Benson absolutely loved her. I got updates while they walked and he looked like he was having fun the entire time. I would absolutely re-book with her!”

About: I raised my goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and he’s now 5, well trained, happy and healthy living with my mom. I’m a certified EMT, spent several years working in Urgent Care, and am applying to become a firefighter paramedic. I’ve always loved animals and appreciate the respect it takes to care for them! I am not currently working as I apply for fire departments, so I am available most of the week at any hours typically. I’m very flexible with my schedule! I am very active and love going on long walks or to the park. We have a fully-fenced yard and a three-story home, so we have the space to accommodate playing and/or crating.
About: I have taken care of dogs since my childhood, both my family dogs and those of friends and neighbors. I am comfortable giving oral medications as my dog takes daily oral medication. I have also watched our friends and neighbors cats since I was a teenager and know how special it is when they take a liking to you. My schedule is very flexible as I am currently between jobs after moving! Even when I start working it will be 3-4 days a week. My dog is not always dog friendly so I will not be bringing her on any walks. I can follow any specific directions you have about your pet as they are all unique!
About: I’ve raised and fostered puppies and dogs of all sizes. I also have experience raising and caring for cats and kittens! I have enjoyed every second of it all and would love the chance to play, walk, and care for your sweet babies as my own! I am currently freelancing and have flexibility in my time to stop by and check in on your cute fur babies any time during the day! I’ll make sure your pups and cats will have everything they need (food, water, potty breaks/litter cleaning/puppy pads) as well as giving them enough love and attention until you return!
“Rachel was great with my pup's walk! Also was super about communicating with me when we had to troubleshoot my front door lock. Happy to rebook and recommend to anyone!”


“Alyssa has been fantastic with our two pups! She came over for a meet-and-greet and then we immediately booked her for two days of walks and then again for a third. Our Lab was exhausted every day. We love the pictures and the Rover card details. We’re looking forward to Alyssa helping out more! The dogs love her!”


About: I’m a Samoyed owner with hands-on experience caring for large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with strong pullers, long walks, high-energy play, feeding, basic routines, and keeping dogs safely supervised. I understand that every dog has their own personality and boundaries, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine and preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of exercise for dogs who need it! I’m usually available 7 days a week. Same-day bookings are welcome! Please send your request at least 6 hours before your preferred start time. My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out if you have any special timing needs. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including preferred walking routes, leash and harness routines, interactions with other dogs, and any behaviors or triggers I should watch for. I keep dogs leashed throughout walks unless specifically instructed otherwise in a safe and appropriate area. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during or after each walk.

About: Hello!I am looking for work helping out with your animals:) I am incredibly comfortable with both cats and dogs, as I have grown up with both and was tasked from a younger age as one of their main caretakers. While I do not have any animals living with me now, as I am early in my career with a seasonal environmental job, I would love to spend some time with a dog or cat and help out when needed! Having had two anxious bigger dogs growing up, I am very familiar with meeting the needs and navigating spaces with animals of different capacities in mind. I am around for any overnight needs and would love to support with good care when needed or with walks outside! I am working in a part-time position and have a roughly shifting schedule every week. I have the most availability on weekends (sat-sun) for walks, care, or overnight boarding! For the weekdays, I will have a good idea of what I will be staffing that week by the Thursday before and would keep you in the loop of when I could come by/care for your animal! I value giving notice and being a reliable addition to your life for good stable care for your animals! I live right next to Wright park and love a good walk! I believe in using this time in this service to enrich your pet’s life and am looking forward to getting to know them and engage with them! My apartment is ready for pets (as I have planned to adopt or foster dogs/cats but am holding off while I am in my current position). I am very comfortable with more anxious/aggressive presenting dogs, as I grew up with a few and feel confident in implementing differing strategies to get them comfortable and manage them while giving them experiences to be outside. I’ll be available for however much communication you are looking for and appreciate the work and trust given to care for these members of your family!
About: Growing up my family had a yellow lab and many members of my extended family also had dogs. As I got older and became independent, I would dog sit for my families’ pets. The dog sizes range from small dogs to bigger dogs and at various stages of their lives. I now live with my boyfriend who has a Great Pyrenees and a Goldendoodle. When dog sitting, I enjoy taking them out on walks, playing in the yard, and cuddling. I just moved to Tacoma and am still job hunting, and while that requires a lot of time, my days are free and flexible to meet you and your dog’s needs. I am good at following directions and can adapt to your dog. I have taken care of a senior dog where he required medicine at meal times. I enjoy taking walking with the dogs and giving them lots of attention.
About: Hello, I’m Alisha! I truly believe I have the best job in the world. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I feel lucky to spend my days caring for them. I have decades of experience with dog sitting, boarding, and walking, as well as experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Pet care is my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care for your furry family members. During our time together, your dog will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, patience, exercise, enrichment, and personalized attention. Every day is tailored to the needs of the dogs in my care. Depending on the schedule, we may enjoy pack walks, solo adventures, enrichment sniffaris, park visits, or relaxing time at home. I balance exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and plenty of affection to ensure each dog has a safe, fun, and enriching experience. Safety is my top priority. I carefully supervise all pets, use secure leashes and harnesses, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment. I always respect clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide regular updates for peace of mind.
About: I have dog sat many dogs and they grow on me. I get to know dogs and meet them where they are. Animals complete me, I have been able to heal in my past with the help of dogs. Cancer has been a battle of mine, service dogs, as well as exercise dogs helped me through my chemotherapy process, and recovery. I don't know what I would do without my dogs. I have had guard dogs as well and they are to most loving and protective creatures I have ever known. I am currently transitioning back into working, after 3 years of bed rest. I am in remission and I wish I could be around the dogs. I usually read closely the instructions given by the owners of each client. I try my best to gain as much information so that the client feels comfortable with me, as they would their own parents. Most dogs I have taken care of will have a period of anxiety, and so I make sure to create the most comfortable environment for them.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life! I’ve always been surrounded by pets through my family and have spent years babysitting dogs and other animals for family members and family friends. I’ve also had a dog of my own and currently have three cats and a ferret. I genuinely love spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently a full-time college student, but I only have classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 1–3:30 PM. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week, and I’d love to use that extra time to help pet parents care for their animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and would be happy to work around their individual routines and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet’s usual routines, feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other needs are maintained. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect their safety. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own, and I’m happy to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away.
“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.”

“She does a wonderful job, she is polite and respectful, diligent, and professional. She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”

“She had such great energy, and my dogs absolutely loved her! She was incredibly sweet, warm, and attentive. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend booking with her!”

Last evening Kona kept telling me we needed to go to the front door and see you. It’s probably magical to him that you come to our door. He told me 5-6 times you were probably there! There’s not any higher praise than that!! Thank you. Have a wonderful time with your family! We’ll see you in a week plus.
Zoe is absolutely amazing, we are so lucky to have her. She takes excellent care of our in-home petting zoo (2 dogs and 3 cats). I get so much peace of mind when we are away from home knowing that Zoe is taking care of them. She is a great communicator, always on time, and she navigates the different personalities and needs of our animals perfectly. We will schedule with Zoe every time, I recommend her highly.
Cannot recommend Michael enough! We were in a pinch today and needed a walk on short notice and Michael was quick to respond and arrived in a flash to get my dogs out for an excellent walk He went above and beyond covering a couple miles and even gave us some extra time on our walk! My dogs are high energy Shepard/husky mixes and can be a little wild and he handled them no problem. They seemed to really like him which was cool (because they don’t like most people) and were sad to see him go! Cannot thank you enough Michael I will absolutely be booking him in the future!

Lauren is a natural animal whisperer and very communicative! Yoshi is leash reactive and does not have the best recall, yet he came back to Lauren when called, and he has never done that in the six years he's been with me when he escapes (he is a Houdini baby). I appreciate Lauren sending 3-4 pictures per walk too. Highly recommend Lauren!

Shania has been really, really amazing with Milton and his struggles with PTSD and anxiety. She is patient, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. Shania took the time to build trust and make Milt feel safe. Her care has made a really big difference, and we just can’t recommend her enough.

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!
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!

Teri was incredible! We booked her last minute for a weekend for dog walking. She’s so sweet and patient with our super hyper pup, and he absolutely loved her. All the daily updates and photos made us feel at ease while we were away. She’s such a friendly and caring dog walker, and we’d love to have her walk him again soon! 💛 Thank you, Teri!!
