Dog Walking Parkwood

“I can't say enough good things about the care she provided for Ellie. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind on the days I had to be in the office. Ellie absolutely loved seeing her, and it was obvious from the beginning that she treated her as more than just another dog on her schedule. She was also great about keeping me updated and letting me know how the walks went, and I always knew Ellie was in good hands. I really appreciated the care, attention, and consistency she provided, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.”

“Fantastic walker. She is so kind and you can tell just how much she loves animals. As it’s been getting hotter, she has made sure to check pavement temperatures so it isn’t too hot and is so flexible with making the walks earlier when it’s cooler. Really impressed and absolutely fantastic!”

“Valarie did a great job walking our two dogs. When we had short notice that we needed coverage for our dogs while heading out of town, Valarie was quick to respond and set up a meet & greet. She agreed to take care of our girls and came as requested. She was communicative during each walk and sent great pictures. We hope she'll agree to more walks in the future!”

About: I have 2+ experience as a vet assistant in general practice and ER. I have a lifetime of animal care experience with a wide variety of animals including cats and exotics. I know how important it is to have someone to watch your pets that will treat your babies like they are their own and put your mind at ease when you're away. I currently only work Tuesdays in Tacoma, so I am only available in mornings/evenings that day for a close drive but only in the evenings for a drive more than 15 minutes from my home, but can work with you and be as flexible as possible with potty breaks for our dog friends. I am typically completely available on my days off I will treat your house and pets as my own and leave it the way I left it or more clean! I have respect for clients and love for all of the animals I care for, I take pride in making sure that everything is taken care of and exceeds expectations. I also am not afraid to ask you questions if I'm unsure of something.

“This was Heather and Nala's first time together and Heather did an amazing job with my girl. My girl is super shy and Heather was able to get her comfortable and go for a short walk. Thank you Heather.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.

Open to all animals :-) Stay at home mom so I have all the time in the world! I am constantly playing in our yard and walking all the time I am very clean and organized we take care of our things and our animals. We are dependable in your home and you in ours

About: I have been taking care of others pets for about 5 years now and have had family pets of the furry, feathered, and scaly varieties my entire life. I've mucked stalls, scooped poop, cleaned cat boxes, all of the not so glamorous parts, and have enjoyed walking, playing and spending quality time while meeting each furry friends every day needs. I currently have a French Bulldog named Sophie and a Leopard Gecko named Leo who I have loved taking care of every day! I am currently on summer vacation so I am free every day except for one vacation I have planned in August (which is blocked out on my calendar). I am able and willing to stay as many days as you need in your home any time of the week with your pets. I am very flexible with my schedule so I can extend stays if needed. I plan on getting a regularly scheduled job after summer so my schedule will be less open but after communication I can let you know if I am available or not. My basic pet care will include bringing pets to the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, feeding pets required amount told by owners, playing with pets multiple times a day, cleaning up after pets, and any other special care instructions given by owners. Care may vary depending on the type of animal.

“Lisa was amazing with Jax and Josie. She really put in the time to get them comfortable and be comfortable with them. Really warms my heart. Thank you so much.”

About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, bathing, exercise, and daily care while making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are followed. I’ve cared for both energetic and shy pets, as well as dogs with disabilities. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, awareness, and building trust with pets who may need extra support. I always focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for. I treat every animal like my own and take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. Communication is also very important. I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s care so you can feel confident knowing they’re safe, happy, and in good hands! I’m currently building my pet care business, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I also offer boarding depending on availability. I always try to be flexible and work with your pet’s routine and needs. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I pay close attention to their behavior, body language, and routine so they feel secure and relaxed. I make sure pets are always supervised, in a safe space, and handled gently. I follow all instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they stay happy and active.

About: As a lifetime pet-parent I will treat your pets as if they were my own - you can expect the best care and attention to all your specific needs and routines. I currently have three cats and am the god-parent to three dogs. My best friend for 14 years was a Dalmatian, and before a career in finance, I worked in ASPCA and vet hospitals and I studied pre-vet medicine in college. I've handled dogs professionally and worked with puppies and senior dogs, as well as violent and untrained dogs. I work part time from home and am able to set my own schedule, so I am available to care for pets daily and on weekends. Our home has a fenced back yard and dogs are only allowed out of the fenced area on leash. Our home is pet safe, with garbage and chemicals all stored safely away. Food is kept protected. Our yard is sprayed with natural tick and flea deterrent, and we so not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals in our yard. I am respectful, clean and very detail-oriented, so will always strive to meet any expectations for your home that you set.

About: Your pet will get plenty of love, attention and care. Please let me know if there are anything particular your pet enjoys, any triggers or anxiety it may have. I will try to make them fill as at home as possible. Thank you for considering us to take care of your pet. We will care for them as if they were our own - Sarah I work from home and enjoy sharing my exercise and nature time taking care of others pets - it’s a healthy distraction from work life for us both! I am very comfortable around animals and feel very intuitive of their needs. Making sure their remain content and cared for while you are away.

About: I was born into farming in northern Mississippi. From an early age I have loved being around and enjoyed everything animal. Now my world is, my wife, my kids, and 4 felines that love our 2 chickens. As my kids are becoming adults, I have decided to offer my love and knowledge to keep me busy and allow ALL the other Pet parents some peace of mind, knowing they can take time for themselves and still know someone is lovingly caring for their pets AND property. I take great pride in being able to follow your routine to ensure everyone on the property doesn't receive anything less than what they are accustomed to. Emergency, work,or leisure, you can be assured I'll do everything to ensure the only thing they miss is you! I am a small business owner. I am usually involved in food events most weekends but am able to accommodate stays weekly or as much as a full month with advanced notice. My business is a small family ran one and we tend to cover each other time wise easily so that I can focus on your care. While in your home, we treat it as ours. We do all daily chores as per your request. Recieve and sign for packages, trash and recycle. Mail recovery.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.

About: **I do have base access!** I grew up with cats, dogs, hermit crabs, and even mice. 🐭 I work part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility. Know that I have a cat of my own, Bo (8 years), but he does great with other pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and lots of time to care for your furry baby! I’m able to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day, so your pet won’t be left feeling lonely while you’re away. I live in a spacious three-bedroom apartment with plenty of safe space for your kitty to explore and get comfortable. For new visitors, I reserve my laundry room/guest bathroom as their own quiet space so they can decompress and adjust to their new environment at their own pace. Once they’re comfortable, there’s a long hallway that’s perfect for zoomies and plenty of room to explore! I also have a third-floor balcony that my own cat absolutely loves. He spends hours watching the hummingbirds fly up to visit him. 🐦 Any visiting kitties will always be closely supervised if they spend time on the balcony with me. I know every cat adjusts differently, so I’m happy to give them as much space, attention, or company as they need to feel safe and at home. 🐱

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. I have experience with dogs of many temperaments, including anxious, sensitive, high-energy, senior, and medically complex pets. I’m calm, observant, and very attentive to behavioral changes, body language, and routines. I know how important consistency and emotional safety are for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m also experienced with administering medications, reinforcing routines, long walks, enrichment/play, and providing patient companionship for pets who need a slower or more thoughtful approach. Cleanliness, communication, and reliability are very important to me, and I’ll treat your pets and home with care and respect. I work part-time remotely as a psychologist, which gives me flexibility and allows me to provide attentive care and companionship throughout the week. Fridays through Mondays are generally my most open days for walks, drop-ins, and daytime care. Tuesdays through Thursdays tend to be my busier workdays, so during those days I’m best suited for overnight care, house sitting where I can work remotely from your home, or boarding/day care in my home for pets who are comfortable relaxing while I work nearby. I still prioritize regular walks, enrichment, affection, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine throughout the day. I’m thoughtful about only taking bookings I can genuinely show up well for, and I value consistency, communication, and helping pets feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. Safety, trust, and attentiveness are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I take time to learn each pet’s routines, temperament, triggers, exercise needs, and comfort level so I can provide care that feels consistent and supportive for them. In my home, pets are always supervised carefully and kept on leash outside. I prioritize safe walks, enrichment, play, companionship, and calm structure rather than simply letting dogs loose in a yard. I’m attentive to body language, behavioral changes, and environmental safety, especially for anxious, senior, or sensitive pets. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, communicative, and mindful of maintaining the routines and environment pets are already comfortable with.
