Dog Walking Northeast Tacoma

About: Experienced shouse/pet sitter for small to medium dogs. Yorkies, Maltese mix, Doodle puppies, and Pembroke Corgis. I love being outdoors rain or shine and will be sure your pup has as many walks as he/she is used to getting or more. I am happy to care for all dogs or cats as valued members of your family. Experience with cats, chickens, sheep, and parakeets. I do a great job with gardens and houseplants, too! As a retired Adult, I am committed to being with your pets for their health, exercise, and safety. I enjoy Pet/House sitting; spending time with your pet(s) improves my quality of life. I care for your pets in your home. This is less stressful for them. Pampered care is easiest to deliver when your fur babies feel more secure in their home. I request a preliminary visit to your home to meet your pet(s) before confirming the sit dates.

“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”

About: Growing up, many of my neighbors have come to me when in need of a pet sitter. I have experience with various different dog and cat breeds. I spend time occasionally at my local humane society because animals truly have a soft spot in my heart. I am a recent college graduate doing remote work, so my schedule is very flexible! Therefore, your pets care will be my top priority. Please contact me for a more detailed schedule. As a trusted sitter in your house, the area will be kept nice and tidy. Your home will also be protected as I always double check that all doors are locked. I will do exactly as your directions say when it comes to your fur babies care and give more than necessary affection!

“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 :)”

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

“Issana is a true professional! She takes such amazing care with my pets and always goes the extra mile. She’s been great about sharing tips, tricks, and progress when spending time with my reactive dog. Since I’ve started working with her he has definitely improved on walks. 10/10 would recommend!”

Joel W.

“Always a great time for my dog whenever he gets to go on a walk and hangout with Minh. She always takes great care everytime and sends photos”

“Teri was amazing! She helped Dex get a good walk in and on a short notice too! Really saved us today and was incredibly communicative and reliable.”

“Wonderful! Was the first time we left our pup alone for more than a few hours since we adopted him. She was so patient and kind with him, he’s can be a little fresh sometime but she Emily was great!!”

Jennifer S.

“This is Mariana’s second service with Luna and she has been fantastic both times! I always have peace of mind knowing Luna is safe, happy, and well cared for when I’m gone on a trip or have a long work day!”

Lizzy K.

“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.

“Marlon is wonderful with our springer spaniel Kona. Kona loves his walks and gets very excited when I get the leash out!”

L G.

“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!”

About: I am the proud mom and trainer of a 2 year old corgi. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, but am most familiar with the small and sassy types. I am a teacher with summers off, so I have open availability June-August. During the school year, I have availability on evenings and weekends. I am attentive to all instructions for care. Health, safety, and fun are my priorities. If requested, I can arrange a playdate with my friendly corgi pup.

“FANTASTIC! Megan made the arrangements of walking our old man (Labrador) while we went out of town so easy. She is clearly a natural with animals, to include dealing with my elderly mother. Thank you Megan!!!!!”

About: 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 early experiences taught me how to read dog body language, manage routines, and safely handle multiple dogs with calm confidence. I’ve continued pet sitting, boarding, and walking over the years and bring a grounded, patient approach to every dog I care for. I work hard to create an environment where dogs feel safe, understood, and relaxed. I truly treat every dog like part of our family. I’m married, have a 12-year-old daughter, and a baby boy. I currently work in nonprofit leadership, but spending time with dogs—getting outdoors, keeping routines, and building trust—brings me balance and joy. I’m also continuing to expand my dog behavior and training knowledge as I build my long-term path in professional dog care. Boarding I offer in-home dog boarding in a calm, family-centered environment and host up to two dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of attention and structure. Because the setting is shared, dogs should be well-socialized and comfortable around other dogs. I may coordinate a meet-and-greet ahead of time to ensure a smooth, stress-free stay. If your dog needs solo boarding, I’m happy to discuss options on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. 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 accordingly. I can reinforce basic training cues, and you’ll receive photos and a summary after each visit. Drop-In Visits Drop-ins include potty breaks, meals, medication (if needed), and plenty of quality time—play, cuddles, or calm companionship. Please ensure each pet is listed on your Rover profile so I can provide accurate and consistent care. For your pet’s well-being, be sure to book enough visits to match their 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?? Pet Care Information & Schedule I work from home so have lots of time to be with your pup. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Earliest drop-off: 8:00 AM Latest pick-up: 8:30 PM If you ever need a different time, just reach out. I’m flexible when I can be, though there may be a small extra charge for off-hour arrangements. 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.

“I have nothing but positive words and gratitude for Audrey! I have two very different dogs, one is super anxious and hyper and another timid and mellow. So they are both not so great with strangers, but they took to Audrey right away, which made me feel so much better about having somebody else take care of my dogs, as it's not something I do often. I really appreciate how great Audrey is at communicating. And I can tell that she pays individual attention to each of my dogs and caters to their very different needs. And a cherry on top of all the amazing time Audrey has spent with my dogs is that she takes really (really!!) good pictures! I just love seeing how happy my puppies are during their walks from the pictures that Adurey takes.”

“Lea arrived on time and was great with MuShu. He immediately loved her and warmed up to her, he was happy to go on a walk with her and came back with a smile. Will re-book!”

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

Nick B.

“We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible care and attention you’ve consistently given to our dog. Your communication has always been clear and in a timely manner! You're super friendly, not to mention your dependability has been so comforting for us. We appreciate you always letting us know whether or not you're going to be late in a timely manner so we never have to worry if you're coming or not. Our pup can be quite timid at times, but your gentle approach and calm presence have truly helped him feel safe and happy. It’s clear he really enjoys his time with you, and we’re so grateful for the trust and bond you’ve built with him. Thank you for being such a reliable and compassionate part of his routine. We appreciate you more than words can say!”
