“Callan did an amazing job with my slow-to-warm reactive cattle dog mix. Going through the process of getting my dog comfortable with a new dog walker/sitter is always difficult, but Cal's personality and patience made it easy. They were communicative, punctual, and detail-oriented. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog in their care!”

4. June Y.
“I need a June to come help me with My friendly German Shepherd mix while I was sick with a cold and unable to take him to recreate. He sent photos and videos of my Sweet Indiana playing walking and sniffing all of the beautiful flowers. Indiana came home and was absolutely exhausted which was the whole goal! June's communication was great and prompt especially as a first-timer trying to navigate the app. I made several mistakes and he was very patient and thorough. Will definitely hire him again. Highly recommended.”

About: Hi, I’m a dedicated dog walker with a passion for all things canine, especially big, energetic dogs like my own three German Shepherds. I also have plenty of experience with small and medium-sized dogs, ensuring they get the same level of care and attention. I understand the importance of keeping dogs of all sizes active, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether you need someone to take your pup on a quick walk or a longer adventure, I’m here to help! **What I Offer** **Experienced with All Breeds and Sizes** From energetic German Shepherds to playful small and medium-sized dogs, I provide personalized care for every dog. **Reliable and Responsible** Punctual, trustworthy, and always focused on the safety of your pets. **Flexible Scheduling** Available for daily walks, weekend strolls, or on-call services. **Personalized Attention** I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s energy level and needs, ensuring they get the right amount of exercise. **Service Area** I’m available for dog walking services throughout Tacoma and surrounding neighborhoods. **Rates** Competitive rates based on your dog’s needs and walk duration.
