Dog Walking North End

“Poppy (who loves to take time to smell the flowers and everything else!) adored Amanda! I’m looking forward to future walks and possible boarding!”

About: I’ve always grown up with lots of pets, and currently my family includes 5 pugs. I have experience with very large dogs, small dogs, newborn puppies, and elderly dogs. I love walking dogs and can take them out for as long or short of a walk as they need. I also have experience giving them medications including pills, ointments, and eye drops. I am not working a full-time job until the beginning of the school year, so I will have a lot of time and flexibility to do dog walking and drop-in visits in Tacoma every day of the week. I can take dogs on long or short walks, depending on their age and what they can handle while paying attention to how the warmer weather might affect them. I can also do check-ins to feed and play with your dog or cat, making sure to give them plenty of attention and care.

“Emily was fantastic! She showed up right on time, was super friendly, and immediately connected with our dog. It’s clear she’s experienced and genuinely loves animals. Our dog always came back happy and relaxed after their walk. We really appreciated the updates and photos, too. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”

“Megan was fantastic with my senior pup, Macklin! She was prompt, attentive, and took very good care of him on their walk. I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

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 taken care of many kinds of animals - sheep, pigs, bunnies - but by far my favorite is dogs. Right now I am mom to a beautiful four-year-old corgi, leaving me time to take care of your dog, too. I live in the heart of the North End and know all the best places to walk dogs, from parks to neighborhoods to your block. I am retired after owning and running a restaurant for 20 years. My (human) kids are big enough that they don't need constant attention. My routine is very flexible! I review instructions carefully with client. Can crate your dog if needed. Slow-paced exercise or vigorous workout? Your choice. Behavior that should be reinforced? Just tell me.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and treat them like I do my children! They are in great hands with me! Animal Activist here! I’m retired and thus I would be exactly what I want to do now that I’m free to. At this time I have no pets so this would be wonderful! I’m all about safety with pets and they are treated like my children. I do not have a fenced yard so in my home they would no go out unless on leash.

“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’ve always been the one my family calls to take care of their pets, ever since I was little. I’m currently shadowing at a veterinary clinic and am working toward becoming a veterinarian. I have a huge passion for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s going on long walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently interning at a vet clinic part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I have a lot of free time on my hands so your pets will be my number one priority throughout the day. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I’ve fostered animals before and can easily adjust to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’ve worked with animals in many different situations and feel confident handling whatever comes up. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved until you’re home again.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. In the past, I worked as a kennel assistant at an animal shelter, and I’m also a certified dog trainer who enjoys helping owners better understand their dogs. I love being active and spending time outdoors with dogs, and I’m passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. I have a 3-year-old German Shepherd named Kona, and in my free time, I enjoy training him and exploring the beautiful trails of Washington. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I’m currently available Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm for dog walking and drop-in visits. I also offer overnight boarding in my home by request! I will treat your dog like my own! I will follow your directions given to me about how to take care of your pet. I’m very detail oriented and will listen to the details. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or any specific details I should know.

“Alex did well handling our boisterous Siberian Husky. Showed up on time and followed instructions on what to watch for on the walk around the neighborhood.”

About: Just want to add a note. Because I do not have kids or a dog of my own, I regularly travel to help friends and family in other cities and states. Sometimes with sitting, often with caregiving. If you see my location change or have questions about my availability in a different location, hit me up. I’m flexible unless previously booked. I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. I work from home Monday-Friday and as long as i have WiFi, I am flexible to work around your animals schedule. I’m also a bit of a homebody so I’m perfect for all the Covid dogs looking to keep their jobs as a shadow while their parents are out of town. At this time I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I am always wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, have several cats at my home in West Tacoma, and love spending time with dogs of friends and family. I live in West Tacoma and have availability weekdays and weekends in mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Open for mid-day visits and walks, short or long term sitting, and more. I have cats in my home (and sometimes foster kittens) so I’m very familiar with helping cats get comfortable in new spaces or around me for the first time. Careful around open doors, clean and tidy, and respectful of your space!
