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 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!

About: I've been pet sitting for the past decade for family and friends as well as those I've been recommended to. Every pup has their unique personalities and I've loved meeting every one. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I only host one family at a time and I'm quick to communicate dates, times, and availability. I have a fenced yard, so your pup can roam free! There are no restrictions on furniture either, so they can cozy up all they want to. Not a very busy place, can be nice for those older pups or ones with anxiety. Hosting one fam at a time really gives me the opportunity to control the environment & ensures they are my prime focus.

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!

Alessandra was great! We were grateful that she was available relatively last minute to do a meet & greet and walked our dobie/lab mix over the weekend. She had no problem with him being reactive to other dogs and we appreciated photos & updates.

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!

John was so great and a huge help to us. He was very fast to reply to our last minute dog walking request, arrived on time, is great at communication and very kind. Our 80 lbs Doberman loved him and I knew she was safe in his hands. I also liked that John had experience with big dogs since he has a husky! We will definitely be using John again.
