Doggy Day Care in North End, Tacoma

“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“Francine is just amazing! She loves our puppy dearly, but is also firm and sets good boundaries for our learning boy. She’s given me lots of tips and guidance as a new dog owner. Love the photos and updates on his daily progress. Highly highly recommend, Francine!!”

“I appreciated that Kelly was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Phil. I received updates throughout the day and he went for 3 walks with her. I’m very happy overall with care and services and would recommend to other dog owners. Kelly’s home was clean and well cared for.”

About: I've also had dogs for most of my life, but I think I really gained a love and understanding with my own dog I got 2.5 years ago as a puppy. Raising a puppy has given me a whole new appreciation for dog training and having a well-behaved puppy! I haven't done much senior care of dogs, but I have worked in human Healthcare and always had a special appreciation of older patients who required certain care, so it's not outside of my realm of comfort to provide extra care. I also understand that when training dogs you need to maintain consistency and as long as your commendas/needs are expressed, I will uphold those standards for you. I am not currently working so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to provide care. Currently I manage my own dog with walks, food, potty breaks, and enrichment every day. When my husband is gone for work I manage the feeding, enrichment, and litter box cleaning for our cat as well. I have a fenced yard and access to dogs parks as well as live in a quiet neighborhood for adequate walks. My home does have stairs that are required for access, but we have lots of beds and couches for pups to get comfy on. I also have plenty of toys and treats for enrichment. We have a large koi pond in the yard, so dogs staying with us do need to have good enough recall to be called away from the pond, they should not want to jump in at sight. In the client's home I'm willing to play/provide enrichment, training, and walks in the neighborhood, or whatever the normal routine is.

“Matt was so accommodating and took amazing care of my little girl. This was my first trip leaving her and his pictures and videos made it so much better for me!”

About: Hello My name is Salman. Over the past 10+ years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and small reptiles. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning enclosures, and providing companionship to ensure animals feel safe and comfortable. I have also assisted with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. In addition to working with individual pet owners, I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I supported staff in maintaining clean living spaces, observing animal behavior for signs of stress or illness, and helping with adoption events. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and deepened my passion for animal welfare. Animals are my passion. Rest a sure you’re pet will definitely be safe with me :) I am home full time. I will have lots of time playing with your pet & showing them new tricks. They will love staying with me because they will have all my attention. I will make sure they are always at a place where I can see them. I will make sure to remove every object or things that shouldn’t be around the house. They are also allowed on my furniture. My house is also their house

“Rose has watched our 2 dogs on a few occasions and they seem to do so great with her. One of our dogs can definitely be anxious with new places but Rose seems to go above and beyond to help him settle in and from the pictures she sends, he seems to really enjoy being there. Will definitely continue to take our dogs to Rose anytime we are in need of a dog sitter!”

“Kate was awesome! She was able to take on Marco last minute and was super responsive to all my messages! Marco had a blast and would love to come back! Thanks Kate!”

About: Dog Daycare is Mon-Fri, 8-5. I send photo pupdates and shuttle dogs home between 4-5pm. 🚙 I can comfortably board dogs up to 4 weeks and make sure they still have a loved and happy time. 🧡 I’ve been working with cats & dogs since 2004 and would love to fill your best friend’s day with their favorite fun activities! :-) I start my dog walks and drop in cat care visits as early as sunrise. And, I say goodnight to my last customers by evening. From the moment I step through your door, I am happy to follow special feeding instructions, play their favorite games or take a neighborhood walk.

“I’m so grateful to Mary for taking in my dog Cali on such short notice. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cali had a great time playing with her sweet and well-behaved dogs — it truly felt like a little doggy vacation for her! I can’t thank Mary enough and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Dani is awesome! I’m so glad we found someone to care for our elderly dog when needed. I love the report card and photos she sends every day!”

“Gemma, our mini poodle mix, had a fine first stay with Sonya. She is somewhat timid but apparently adjusted well. I really appreciated the photo that Sonya sent showing her comfortably settled in. Sonya was happy to adjust the time of pick up.”

“Heather is a dog whisperer. Our nervous rescue pup normally does not get close to any new people, but she was moving around Heather's home, went outside with other dogs... a bit of a miracle.”

About: I (Mandy) grew up with multiple dogs in my family my entire life, and can't remember a time (until now) when I wasn't caring for a pup. I had a few large mutts (70-115 lbs), a medium-sized tibetian terrier, and two yorkies. I also worked at a dog-friendly office, so I got my fair share of dog time with a ton of different breeds and I miss it! I absolutely adore dogs and they tend to love me. Greg, my husband is a Maryland native and we lived in Virginia together for 5 years where we did most of our dog sitting. I'm from Kent, WA originally and we bought a house in Tacoma in December of 2024 and we cannot be happier to be here! We are excited to start meeting the dogs in our area :) Our home has a fenced in back yard, and Greg and I both work from home, and we have very flexible schedules that allow for multiple dog walks and potty breaks every day. We both work from home 7-3 but with a very flexible schedule. Typically we will give a quick 30 minute walk in the morning, depending on the dog's size and energy level, a mid-day walk, and then a longer walk after dinner. Of course, potty breaks are dependent on the dog but we're able to take them out as often as every hour. We are happy to work with you on what your dog prefers! We live in a 3 story home with hardwood floors on the first floor. We have a fully fenced back yard and have plenty of space for your dog's items including their bed and/or crate.

“Haley is wonderful! She did an amazing job taking care of my puppy. They engaged in fun activities together, such as making dog cookies and doing some doggy painting. My puppy would get so excited to see her every day. Haley communicated excellently, sending pictures and videos during my puppy's stay. I highly recommend her, as she will care for your dogs as if they were her family 🙌🏽”

About: My family always had animals growing up, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, Guinea pigs, goats. You name it. I got involved volunteering at the local animal shelter walking dogs and occasionally boarding them. Since then I’ve expanded to working with a rescue fostering dogs from time to time. I find great joy and fulfillment in helping out in that way and seeing dogs thrive and find their forever families. I’m experienced with all ages of dogs. I am currently a stay at home mom to my kids, ages 10, 7 & 5. We homeschool and we are home most of the day, if we do leave for an outing it’s no more than a few hours. Caring for pets in our home, with our fosters we have a good system of slow introduction with our current dogs (male, 4yrs, female, 2yrs) who are very dog friendly and use to random dogs being at our house haha. Once we know everyone will get along we let them meet in the backyard, with leash attached. If they are staying over night, they will sleep in a wire crate (we have a large double crate) they will eat their meals in their crate as well, to avoid any food aggression. The kids can be loud and busy, so we would need to assure the dog won’t be triggered or lash out at that type of behavior. We haven’t had an issue with this so far.

“I felt that my girls were comfortable with Riga. She would send pupdates and was very responsive. Our girls also got along with her dog, Walnut, which is a plus. Overall, I would definitely recommend her and plan to book her services again.”
