Dog Walking in Ruston, Tacoma, WA

“Alex is so great with our dog! Loki loves going on walks with him, and Alex always sends cute pictures and gives us updates. Highly recommend!”

“If you want someone with lots of energy, who is kind, who loves dogs, and who is highly trustworthy and honest, Nathan is your guy! This was our first Rover experience, and we couldn't be happier. Nathan communicated well and allowed the dogs to get to know and trust him before transitioning from just a walk to a walk and Chuckit time at the park. Mac and Hoko were so happy when they would see Nathan come through the door (as witnessed by my roommate on occasion). We will use Nathan again, even if I don't have the need and only want the boys to see an old friend. 100% recommend.”

About: I have taken care of pets of my own since I was very little and started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 10. Most recently I have taken care of my neighbor's cat and dog multipul times over the past 3 years. I am working part time and am on summer break. I am willing to check in on animals or walk them whenever needed and I only work 3 1/2 hour shifts. The dogs I have are a bit spoiled and well loved. I will love what ever animal I watch and will take care of it however you would prefer.

“Emily was fantastic! She showed up right on time, was super friendly, and immediately connected with our dog. It’s clear she’s experienced and genuinely loves animals. Our dog always came back happy and relaxed after their walk. We really appreciated the updates and photos, too. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Erica has been walking our pups for almost a year. She has always been available, always been punctual, and has always been a great communicator. Our dogs love her and are always excited to see her. Even our one dog who was abused and doesn't like most people took to her right away. Rest assured when you choose Erica your pets are in great hands. Thank-you for always taking such good care of our pups!”

About: I’ve had several animals of my own, I have dog and cat sat for several people/ families. This included giving medications to injured dogs and puppies. I also work in a dog grooming salon and have hands on experience bathing and grooming dogs of all ages and sizes. I have also fostered a puppy from the humane society and cared for dogs in heat. I am a stay at home mom with a great support system. Pet care would be a hobby and side job of mine that I would thoroughly enjoy. I have a fenced backyard and an animal free home, so no risk of discomfort between animals. I have great respect for other people’s homes and make it a priority to follow specific instructions for the safety and comfort of everyone involved.

“Katie was awesome! We definitely plan on connecting with her again in the future. Bonus points for flexibility and spending a little extra time with Atlas!”

About: Hi there! :) I’m passionate about taking care of animals and always make sure they feel comfortable when they’re with me. I've helped raise a labradoodle and terrier for over five years. I’ve been around dogs and puppies most of my life so I’m completely comfortable with them, large or small. I’ve also taken care of dogs with bigger personalities and also much more tame ones. I’m extremely patient around any dog and always go out of my way to make them feel comfortable. I work full-time and am mostly remote. My schedule is also very flexible. I finish work on the weekdays at 4pm, and my WFH schedule allows me to watch your furry pal during/after my shift. I know that it can be tough to leave your pup overnight or under someone else’s care so I always communicate with my clients updates or photos of their pups. My biggest priority is also to make sure your pup is comfortable with me. They’re welcome to relax on my couch or bed if they’re staying at my home. I’m available anytime before or during a booking for any questions you may have!

“Kallie was so great and patient with our pups! They’re both pretty sure around new people and she took the time to get on their level and get them comfortable with her. She clearly cares about animals and it shows in her interactions. Thanks Kallie!!”

“Baylee has been a great addition to my Rover sitter team. She’s trustworthy, communicative, and Ruby clearly loves her time with Baylee.”

About: I bring a great big heart to the table when it comes to our animal friends. Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, budgies, fish…I am happy to provide nurturing care for them all as if they were my own. I specialize in in-home stays, drop-ins and doggie walks. In-home stays are treated as if I live there, never leaving for very long at a time. I find this is extremely beneficial for fur babies who have separation anxiety, providing a calm presence and a bonding experience that provides smooth, low stress transitions. I am comfortable caring for seniors and those who are ailing. My experience includes caring for personal pets all my life as well as those of friends, family, and professional clients. I have been there for many journeys, loving them from the time they come into my life all the way to holding vigil as they cross over the rainbow bridge. I am quite an observant person, tuning into their needs and often noticing when something is off or perhaps they are not feeling well. My experience volunteering at a wildlife rescue honed this a bit when needing to observe and take weekly notes on behavior and eating habits of the animals in for rehabilitation. These notes helped doctors track recovery time and make any changes needed to their care. Through this experience I've learned how precious a life is, no matter how big or small it may be. Current furry family members include 5 guinea pigs. My family had to say goodbye to our beloved 15 year old dog last summer and our hearts are still aching. “Christie has taken care of our two dogs and cat, providing a walk when we are away for a long day and overnight house and pet sitting. She is great! She is very reliable and responsive and most importantly, she seems to really care about our pets and their well being while we’re gone. She always leaves our house clean and our critters happy when she leaves! One of our dogs is pretty nervous with people and Christie’s patience and calm presence makes us feel better leaving her with someone because we know she’s in good hands! She is very attentive to all of the pets, is an excellent communicator and provides us with lots of updates while we’re away which we always appreciate!” ~ Laura K. I currently freelance, which offers freedom in my schedule to care for your fur baby in your home or out for walks to smell all the smells in the neighborhood during the week or on the weekends. I am neat and tidy, honest and conscientious. You will receive regular check-ins with pictures via text. If they happen to be having a particularly joyful moment I try to capture video to send. I am there to let them know they are not alone and their needs will be met with nurturing and kindness. Sometimes just being present in the house gives a pet peace of mind.

“Our Goose loves Laura and we are super happy to have her as a resource as well (for now and the future!) She’s flexible, chill & friendly and responds very quickly to any messages. We truly appreciate her :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a kid, have several cats at my home in West Tacoma, and love spending time with dogs of friends and family. I live in West Tacoma and have availability weekdays and weekends in mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Open for mid-day visits and walks, short or long term sitting, and more. I have cats in my home (and sometimes foster kittens) so I’m very familiar with helping cats get comfortable in new spaces or around me for the first time. Careful around open doors, clean and tidy, and respectful of your space!

“Alyssa was great with my two dogs and very accommodating with scheduling walks with them. She is prompt, reliable and provides great communication. Loved receiving daily pictures of them having fun while I was out of town. Thanks so much!”

About: Hello! I live in Port Orchard with my wife and our 3 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd. I recently moved here from out of state and am looking to spend some extra time walking and caring for animals. I would love to spend my spare time playing with and getting to know your furry friends. I have cared for pets of all kinds, breeds, and sizes, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am reliable, energetic, and friendly. I always take the best care of the animals I am working with. When it comes to over night events, I always make the most of every stay. I always take great care of each animal and make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. They are always welcome on furniture or on the bed. Wherever they are most comfortable is fine with me! I currently have fairly open availability. I am flexible to any schedule that is required or needed. Happy to discuss what you are looking for! Please let me know what your pet needs from me as far as safety, trust, and environment. I like to earn each pets trust the best I possibly can and ensure their safety with each owner. Feel free to let me know what would make you and your pet comfortable!

About: My name is Owen and Ive lived with pets my entire life, from Boston Terriers to Great Danes. One thing pets have taught me over the years is that your never alone as long as you treat your little friends with love and compassion :) Dog walking and pet sitting is my new summer hobby that not only helps my community but lets me meet new people and awesome pups that need some attention. Ive cared and loved indoor and outdoor dogs and cats leaving me with a large bank of experience leading me to have a knack for understanding what pets need and how they feel.
