Dog Walking Northeast Tacoma

“Skyler, is a great dog walker. She shows up exactly on time to walk my dog, and i love that she spends a few minutes just cuddling and giving belly rubs before leaving.”

Steven J.

“Rose is very communicative and dependable! My 12 year old heeler warmed right up and she was attentive to his peculiar cattle dog ways. Will definitely have her back to help take care of him again :)”

Rochelle M.

“Emily has been walking my dog Django for only three days and he’s a different dog. Myself and two other professionals have tried with no success to get him to loose leash walk for three years. Emily pulled it off in 3 days!!! lol! I come home in the evening and he’s calmer and so much happier. Emily is kind, caring, and clearly enthusiastic about her work. So grateful to have found her!!”

Holly V.

“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!”

Isabella C.

“Thanks for all the great pictures on Kona’s walks! Appreciate them—reminds me what a lovely neighborhood we live in. Kona is so enjoying his walks. Gets very excited when he sees you come up the driveway!”

“Minh/Mary is beyond awesome. She noticed that my idiot (lovingly) dog got into the trash and she picked it up. She also keeps me updated on my cat when they see each other. I’d never expect a dog walker to go above and beyond like this, but that’s what she does!”

Jillian M.

“Zoe was an excellent petsitter and truly went above and beyond. She was very friendly, flexible and responsible. She made sure to communicate to me of any incidents or concerns, and made sure that my pups were doing well at all times. She provided me with daily updates such as when she arrived, how my pups were doing, and made sure to take many pictures. She was very kind and cleaned up any accidents, which she did not have to do, so I really appreciate that. She was always on time everyday as well. I also really appreciate that she wrote detailed reports of all of the dog walks, which allowed me to know furthermore how my pups were doing. Overall, Zoe was the sweetest person and did a perfect job. I would totally recommend her with anyone and I would love to book with her soon!”

About: Dog and cat lover with lots of energy & experience! 🐶 🐱 Hi! I currently live with two golden retrievers, so I’m used to lots of dog hair, big smiles, and even bigger energy. I love being outside, going on long walks, and I’m quick on my feet which is perfect for keeping up with playful pups! I’ve spent plenty of time caring for dogs and cats of family and friends, whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs. I’ll treat your dog and/or cat like one of my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved while you’re away. Need to take a weekend trip without your pup? As a recent grad looking for my next adventure, I have a lot of flexibility with scheduling drop ins, walks, and house sittings. I know every pet is different, and I’m all about making sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I always treat your pet and your space with the same respect I’d want for my own. Making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved is my top priority!

“Heather has been great and McGee been enjoying his long walks and attention.”

About: Hi! I adore dogs and I’d love to take care of yours while you’re away. I’ve had dogs ever since I was little, so I’m very familiar with their care. I’m also experienced with nervous dogs. Dogs are more than just pets, they are family. I’m currently a part-time college student, so I have lots of free time. I’ve just recently moved to Washington after visiting family here for many years. I absolutely love it here. If you’re going out of town or just staying late at the office, I’d be happy to look after your furry friend while you’re gone. I can feed them, spend time with them, or take them on a walk.

“Shella does a wonderful job walking Kimi and Roxy on the days I work late. Knowing they've been out and are playing (the photos are great!) when I can't be home is a big relief. I highly recommend her!”

Martin B.

“I had the pleasure to meet Issana, she was so sweet, kind and patient to my energetic pupper. I will definitely keep her in mind and recommend anyone to book her services. Thank you Issana for doing such an amazing job! Look forward to seeing you soon ?”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats who were truly part of the family. I’ve also pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors since high school and college, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I’m currently an elementary school teacher, which means I’m organized, reliable, and very comfortable following detailed instructions and maintaining consistent routines. During the summer months, I also have a very flexible schedule and increased availability for daytime care. I specialize in dog walking and daily check-ins for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, feeding, litter box care, or simply giving your pet attention and company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. As an elementary school teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care before and after school, on evenings, weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. I enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine, and I'm also happy to provide drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and treating every pet as if they were my own. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I always follow the care instructions provided by each owner. During walks, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and time to sniff and explore safely. For drop-in visits, I'm happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box scooping, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of love and companionship. I know every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. Communication is important to me, and I'll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I'm the proud dog dad to a sweet but anxious senior lab mix. When we're out walking together, I am her guide and her protector, so she can let down her guard, get some exercise, and enjoy the great outdoors with me. That's how I have always been with my dogs, and that's how I'll be with any dog that walks with me. Well versed in high energy breeds, senior doggos, and canines with medical conditions. I love spoiling my dog and two cats. My lab mix gets three walks a day, a wet food breakfast, vitamins in the afternoon, allergy meds after dinner. And of course toy time as needed. My cats enjoy several meals a day, starting with wet food in the morning, greenies in the afternoon, and kibble throughout the day. One of my cats has to take medicine twice a day, which I administer. I will make sure your dog gets the exercise and outdoor enrichment they need with a safe and fun guardian. I know my job is done when I see that big grin on a dog's face.

“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!”

“Dylan takes care of our Ladybug as if she was her own dog! Highly recommend, 10 stars!”

“10/10. Nate was awesome, this was my first time getting any service from rover, since I was wary leaving my dogs in the hands of other people but my dogs immediately loved Nate as soon as they saw him lol. He walked each of them for an hour each, even with their high energy & leash pulling selves lol. They came back from their walk happy & tired which is what I wanted. He took good care of my dogs on their walks and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

I am currently pursuing a degree in psychology, and I have a strong interest in animal behavior and dog training. This has helped me develop patience, observation skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own pet.

“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: About Me Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped raise litters, bottle-feed puppies, and care for our pack of four. Those experiences taught me how to read dog body language, understand routines, and safely handle dogs with calm confidence. I’ve continued caring for dogs over the years and bring a grounded, patient approach to every pup I meet. I want every dog to feel safe, understood, and comfortable in my care. I’m married, have a 12-year-old daughter, and a baby boy. I’m also a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I love getting outside, spending time with dogs, and building trust with each pup I care for. Dog Walking I offer 30- and 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. Whether your dog prefers a brisk outing or a slow sniff-walk, I adjust the walk to what works best for them. I’m happy to reinforce basic training cues, and you’ll receive photos and a summary after each visit. 🚨 Because I may have my baby with me during walks, I only accept well-trained, leash-friendly pups for dog walking. I require a meet-and-greet with every new pet before booking so we can get acquainted and make sure we’re a good fit. Drop-In Visits Drop-ins can include potty breaks, meals, medication if needed, and plenty of quality time—whether your pup wants to play, cuddle, get some attention, or simply have calm companionship. Please make sure each pet is listed on your Rover profile so I can provide accurate and consistent care. For your pet’s well-being, please book enough visits to match their normal routine and comfort needs. No matter the service, I guarantee your pup will get loadssss of love and cuddles. I mean… why else would I be doing Rover?! ❤️🐾 Currently a Stay at home mom so I have quite a bit of flexibility but may need to bring my baby. Please only submit a request if your pets are well trained and child friendly. Your dog’s safety and emotional comfort are my highest priorities. Here’s what you can always expect when your pet stays with me: Supervised interactions only — especially with kids or when new dogs arrive. Slow, gentle introductions so your dog builds trust at their own pace. No off-leash exposure unless in a fully fenced, secure area. Detailed updates with photos or videos. Structured feeding times exactly the way you request. A calm and predictable environment (dogs relax faster this way!). We have a gated kitchen which separates your pup from our front door. We also have apple tags that will be put on every dogs collar or harness once they arrive. We double check our perimeter after every pup and keep on eye on them while they are outside for potty and play breaks. Immediate communication about anything unusual, like changes in appetite, bowel movements or behavior. My experience raising puppies, seniors, and multi-dog groups means I’m comfortable reading subtle cues and adjusting care quickly. Your dog will always be treated with patience, affection, and respect.
