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!
“Win is amazing! Extremely friendly and professional during our meet and greet and covered everything I could possibly think of about my pup. Your dog will be in good hands if you choose her!”

“Rachel was great! She was on time, very communicative and sent terrific pics of the pups!! I will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her! Thanks Rachel!”

“Lydia has been a wonderful addition to my dog walking team. She’s responsive to messages, flexible with individual needs, and dependable with care. She sends quality pictures and updates so I know how the walks went and how my pups are doing during her care. If she has questions or concerns during her time with the dogs she addresses them promptly and respectfully. I can trust no issue or concern will go unnoticed or unreported. I appreciate having Lydia as a trusted member of my team and can count on my dogs being well cared for and loved on while I am away.”


About: I’ve always grown up with lots of pets, and currently my family includes 5 pugs. I have experience with very large dogs, small dogs, newborn puppies, and elderly dogs. I love walking dogs and can take them out for as long or short of a walk as they need. I also have experience giving them medications including pills, ointments, and eye drops. I am not working a full-time job until the beginning of the school year, so I will have a lot of time and flexibility to do dog walking and drop-in visits in Tacoma every day of the week. I can take dogs on long or short walks, depending on their age and what they can handle while paying attention to how the warmer weather might affect them. I can also do check-ins to feed and play with your dog or cat, making sure to give them plenty of attention and care.
“Thank you for your continued amazing work with my Stella girl! We are both so grateful to you! You are always so accommodating and communicative, I appreciate you so much 🥹❤️”

“Nathan was responsive, friendly and flexible when it came to taking care of Lucy. Followed directions very well and provided updates on the walk. Highly recommended and I will gladly use his services again.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. In the past, I worked as a kennel assistant at an animal shelter, and I’m also a certified dog trainer who enjoys helping owners better understand their dogs. I love being active and spending time outdoors with dogs, and I’m passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. I have a 3-year-old German Shepherd named Kona, and in my free time, I enjoy training him and exploring the beautiful trails of Washington. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I’m currently available Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm for dog walking and drop-in visits. I also offer overnight boarding in my home by request! I will treat your dog like my own! I will follow your directions given to me about how to take care of your pet. I’m very detail oriented and will listen to the details. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or any specific details I should know.
“Met Elizabeth for a meet and greet for more frequent walks while I’m at work. She was super punctual and sweet with my little Koda. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could provide Koda with the best walk possible. I look forward to working more with her!”


“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!”

“Ethan is amazing. I can not put into words how great he is with my Roman. I was nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family for the first time, but Ethan made everything so easy. All of the updates, pictures, and just his knowledge of dogs. I can not recommend him enough!”

“So happy we found Sean! Clipper immediately felt comfortable with him on our meet and greet. He will treat your pup like his own. I was very happy with the pictures he sent of them on their walk and he was right on time. Very reliable and punctual. We will definitely be using Sean again for Clipper’s walks. Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer is an incredible dog walker, and we feel so lucky to have found her. She takes amazing care of our dog and always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, safe, and well-exercised. We especially love the thoughtful updates and adorable photos she sends—it gives us total peace of mind when we’re away. She’s dependable, kind, and truly treats our dog like her own. She’s even gone the extra mile by cleaning up after multiple accidents in our home while we were away, which we deeply appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes pride in her work. We couldn’t recommend Jennifer more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog walker.”


About: I’ve always been the one my family calls to take care of their pets, ever since I was little. I’m currently shadowing at a veterinary clinic and am working toward becoming a veterinarian. I have a huge passion for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s going on long walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently interning at a vet clinic part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I have a lot of free time on my hands so your pets will be my number one priority throughout the day. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I’ve fostered animals before and can easily adjust to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’ve worked with animals in many different situations and feel confident handling whatever comes up. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved until you’re home again.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ruston
Keri was quick to take a last minute job and was super flexible with her schedule to fit in a walk with my dog. She took lots of cute pictures, was responsive, and punctual. We greatly appreciate Keri and will definitely be rebooking as my dog seemed super happy and relaxed when we got home.

Ethan did an excellent job walking and caring for our large, reactive dog. It was clear that he felt very comfortable handling challenging dogs, and after meeting him we felt good about leaving our dog in his care. The pictures and updates he shared after his walks reinforced this--our dog looked so happy with him! He was also extremely communicative and professional, which we appreciated. We feel very lucky to have found him and will absolutely use him for our future pet care needs.

We recently found ourselves needing a new regular dog walker quickly, and we are so glad we found Katie. She has been fantastic since day one. Before the first walk, she took the time to come over for a thorough meet-and-greet with us and our dog, Sunny, which we really appreciated. Katie provides detailed notes after every walk, which always include great photos, giving us peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog Sunny is clearly happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend choosing Katie for your dog walking needs!
