About: I have had dogs most of my life. I raised them from puppies and rescued many in my adult life. I have cared for elderly dogs and those with various medical conditions and treatment programs. For the first time in awhile, I am without a dog. At the moment, I don't have the right space. That's why I am happy to love your dog, and support you in whatever routine you adhere to. I currently free lance and work independently remotely so I have flexibility in when and how long I work. I can work around your schedule. I cannot currently board dogs at my place. I can stay at your home which is often best as it is more familiar to your dog. It also allows me to maintain whatever regimen you are currently adhering to.

“These two are amazing! They always care for my high-energy pup like it was their own baby, and he LOVES to see them. They have been reliable to the utmost, and I have full confidence in their abilities to care for my Murphy.”


“Zoryana is an excellent communicator. She responds to messages through rover quickly. She is very respectful towards Maple and the goals we have towards Maple’s training, I love that she sends updates through the walk or things she notices about Maple and her progress. We really appreciate her as our walker, and Maple loves her as well!”


“Communication is fantastic. Andrew is awesome. He replies so quickly and shows up in the time frame indicated. I will continue to book him as long as he is available.”


“Another great couple of days working with Alejandra! She’s a true pro, a great communicator, and takes great care of my fur babies. Looking forward to having her back soon!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8yrs old. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to care for their beloved pets. I’ am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding on weekends after 2pm, and weekdays after 430pm I have a fence yard, crates and gates at home, we can also use your own crates if that works with you. Thank a bunch

“Issana is wonderful with the dogs and they are very happy when she comes over to give them a walk. I'm grateful for her loving attention of our children while we are away for long days at work and travels.”


“Thank you!! The orange cat is Milo and the gray is Shuriken. Going out of town but will reach out next week 7th or 8th to schedule for following week. Thank you again!”


About: I've recently started overnight petting sitting for family members. I enjoy animals, in particular cats and dogs. I'm very patient and good with them. I've watched one dog at a time and up to two dogs and three cats at one time. I'm flexible, reliable and eager to get started. Would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I'm currently not working and soon to be a part time student. My schedule is open and flexible. I see this as an opportunity to earn money for school and I'm motivated to make my schedule work for you. I'm very conscientious when watching others pets. I follow the owners feeding and walking routine and ensure the pets are watched at all times when in the yard. I live in a home with a fenced yard and in a quiet residential neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice for walking dogs and has very little car traffic.

About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life since elementary school. Dog lover is who I am and I can make owner's worries go away when I treat them like my own. I've had small to large dogs. Cockapoo, Pointer, Lab, Dachshund are few of the breeds that was a huge part of my life. Grew them from puppies to seniors. I have experience from potty training to diapers for seniors. From walking dogs on their leash to a stroller. All stages in a dog life is precious! I am available on weekday evenings after 5pm and on the weekends. I work in Federal Way for the school district so I would prefer Federal Way/NE Tacoma/Browns Point locations. I live in a gated community so walking around my neighborhood is safe. There is also a neighborhood park where dogs can play fetch. My home is two story and also have a fenced backyard and a trex deck where they can sunbathe. I also have a small and medium size dog crate, dog beds/blankets, stroller for small senior dogs, dog bowls.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life—everything from energetic puppies to shy senior cats. I currently have a playful lab/pit mix and two cats, so I’m very familiar with managing different personalities and needs. I’ve also worked closely with feral and nervous cats, and I understand how to approach animals with patience and respect. Whether it’s a leash-puller, a cuddle-bug, or a finicky feline, I’m confident and experienced in handling a wide range of behaviors. I’m reliable, flexible, and always happy to follow detailed instructions to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable. Let me know what works best for your schedule—I’ll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pet! My husband and I both have flexible schedules—he works security and I work part time at an elementary school—so we’re home often and can adjust our routines to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or cuddle breaks, we love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. Safety is always my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I’m very mindful about keeping gates, doors, and surroundings safe at all times. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I keep a close eye on them and follow any care instructions carefully. I treat every pet like family and always make sure they’re comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hi there! I’m Heather, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. I’ve had the joy of volunteering at two different humane societies, where I worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, ages, and needs. Through those experiences, I learned how to provide not just basic care, but real comfort and connection for animals in all situations. To deepen my understanding and provide even better care, I’ve also completed the Fear Free Shelter program for both cats and dogs. This training helps me reduce stress and anxiety in pets, making their time away from you feel safe, calm, and positive. Whether it's a walk around the block, a weekend stay, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I always treat them like family. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I pay close attention to individual routines and personalities. One of the biggest benefits I offer is my extremely flexible schedule. I work from home full-time, which means I’m around throughout the day to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. My open availability also makes it easy to accommodate last-minute bookings, special requests, and unique schedules. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I create a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of affection, playtime, and personalized attention. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel connected while you're away.

About: I have current experience in dog care. Feeding, walking, potty breaks, playing, brushing, petting and some bathing.I love to take care of dogs; they bring so much joy to my life. I would love to do this 5 days a week. I can work weekends. I can be an overnight sitter as well. Looking forward to help your pets. I would do all that is asked from the owner to care for there pets in a calm and safe environment. All pets will get my full attention and care.

“Minh was incredible with my dog! From the moment they met, I could tell my dog was in great hands. She was punctual, kind, and super communicative sending great updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust, and I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring dog sitter!”


About: I have house sat and boarded several friends' dogs in my house with my wife. We own two cats and keep them in a separate area while we house the dogs. I work from home typically and currently in between jobs. I like to maintain whatever routine they have with their dogs. I usually walk the dogs twice a day, feed when recommended and take them to a dog park if given the ok by the owner. We have a fenced backyard where the dogs are allowed to run around supervised. For nervous dogs that we board, my wife and I will typically sleep downstairs with them because we understand they're in a new situation with new smells. I'm currently in between jobs, but am working towards projects in order to get my next role. That being said, I'm available for any pet care at any time during the week before 6:30pm. I would love to be notified at least 1 day in advance, but more would be highly appreciated. I keep the area clean of any choking hazards. Keep the kitchen and floor clean to avoid them getting into toxic food. There is a designated room that the dogs will stay in if I am not home. When I am home, they have free rule of the living room area where they can be supervised. I will not kennel the dogs unless that is your preference and that you specifically request that. You must bring kennel with you.

About: I’ve had cats for over 8 years and currently live with three – each with their own personality, from shy to playful to clingy. I’m very familiar with feline behavior, and I specialize in building trust with anxious or rescued cats. While I’m newer to dogs, I’m gentle, observant, and committed to learning and giving them the best care. I’m home most of the time, and your pets will be treated like my own family. I work remotely and spend most of my day at home with my three cats. I’m always around to check on your pet, keep them company, and make sure they’re feeling safe, calm, and loved. I have a quiet, separate room in my home dedicated to guest pets. If your pet is healthy, free of contagious illnesses, and doesn’t mark indoors, I may gradually introduce them to supervised interaction with my own pets. Safety and comfort always come first, and I take time to ensure every pet feels secure before expanding their space. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I always follow your instructions closely and respect your pet’s routine and space. I aim to keep their environment familiar, calm, and stress-free.
