Doggy Day Care Northeast Tacoma

“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Dennis and Lynn were fantastic with Maddie! When we picked her up she was calm and happy. The photos and video updates brought a lot of relief as it was our first time leaving her with a sitter. I definitely recommend Dennis and Lynn to watch your cute puppy family member! Thank you so much for the attentiveness you two!”

“Polly was sidelined due to a leg injury for the last few months and missed her regular daycare visits with Milo & Marisol. Yesterday was her first day back and it did not disappoint! Milo and Polly picked up right where they left off, and Marisol made sure Polly didn’t overdo it or risk re-injury. I am so very grateful for Marisol’s care and diligence. We’re looking forward to our next visit!”

“Ricardo is Onyx’s favorite friend. They have three other dogs that are so well behaved and t they play with Onyx. They even play ball with him and even gave onyx’s favorite ball. He even plays with the ball at my home every day. I will recommend them so many times.”

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.

“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”

“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”

“Thank you Erin, You made Nola feel right at home and I can tell she had a great time with you! You really put her at ease. I appreciated the updates.”

Leah H.

“So thankful that Kate was able to get my doggy in such short notice. Charlie looked so relaxed and at ease. He deals with anxiety but he did great with Kate. I appreciated the photos throughout his stay & video. It put me at ease to know he was in such good caring hands. Thank you Kate!”

Esther A.

“Loved Sara! Nilo came home and knocked out after a full day of daycare at Sara’s. She sent me pictures of Nilo playing in the backyard per request and he’s a very picky eater so I didn’t expect him to eat his food at her house, but he did! She told me she sat down with him until he ate and that’s what I do at home for him sometimes, but never told her about that as I don’t expect the sitter to do that just for my dog. That showed that Sara’s very caring as she paid attention to my dog’s needs. I have already booked with her again. Will be going to her regularly!”

Jayne P.

“Eileen was great she kept me informed throughout the whole time my dog stayed with her and took care and pride in taking care of dog she even played soothing music that helped put her to sleep I would recommend her to anyone”

Ronte D.

“Marla is very responsive and attentive, sent pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup enjoyed her spacious yard and had so much fun playing with Boo. I will be booking again!”

Mariela R.

“Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.”

“Sandy and Skip were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING with my pupper. They kept us updated with pictures and videos while we were away and Zola seemed to be having a blast. They have a huge backyard where the fur babies can zoom around, and their doggo Kree Bear is an absolute delight! He’s extremely welcoming and my girl had the best time with him. Would definitely recommend Sandy to take great care of my kiddo!”

About: Comfortable and experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety, medical conditions, disabilities, and special needs. Rest assured instructions for care will be followed exactly. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I provide attentive, consistent pet sitting with plenty of companionship, structure, and love, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as part of my daily routine. Living in an apartment surrounded by parks, pets enjoy plenty of daily walks, outdoor time, and are always welcome to come along whenever I leave home.

About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
