Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Ruston, Tacoma, WA

“Juli is wonderful! We left town with comfort knowing our cat and our home were in good hands. We enjoyed the daily updates with our cat’s personality/sass shining through in her report and plenty of photos to go along with it. Gnarly is looking forward to hanging out with Juli again!”

“Sierra is a dog whisperer. I met with her prior to starting weekly drop in visits. I was concerned that my rescue chi who is very anxious wouldn’t be thrilled about a new person coming into our home, as she hasn’t been with the last few people I’ve interviewed. But I was wrong! She calmed within minutes and Sierra was even able to pick her up and take her to the backyard. My chug absolutely adores her and I have peace of mind while I’m at work or out of town. Thank you Sierra!”

“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”

“Emily was attentive and caring for our cat while we were away. She stayed in contact and let us know of any issues right away. She is responsible and very friendly and we would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Tobi took great care of my kitty, Disco, while I was out of town for a week, sending me a picture or two with each visit along with a brief note on how things were going. Disco takes some regular oral meds in Pill Pockets and Tobi handled that just fine. Disco gives her two paws up and I’ll reach out to Tobi again when I need kitty care.”

“Win is awesome, seriously. She was super flexible and so accommodating of our last-minute request. Our initial meet and greet made me feel at ease immediately because of how thorough and friendly she was. I enjoyed her reports and the photos so much. Our dog, Milo has some separation anxiety and can be a little destructive but her quick response to my texts were so helpful and made me feel less anxious about leaving him. Milo absolutely loved her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thanks so much, Win!!!”

“Rachel took wonderful care of our cats! Everything was clean and the cats were so happy she spent extra time with them playing and snuggling. She excellent at communicating and clarifying to get everything right. I would highly recommend!”

Penelope S.

“Riga was AMAZING! She came to watch our golden retriever for us last minute when our normal sitter fell through. She sent a picture update, took our dog on a walk, and she even did the dishes. You could tell she gave our pup a lot of attention because usually when we get home shes very excited and a little crazy, but when we got home she greeted us and seemed very content and almost like she didnt even notice we were gone! 5 stars for Riga, we will for sure use you again if we get the chance!”

“Alyssa is incredible! I got so many pictures and updates of our puppy. I knew she was well taken care of during the outings. I can’t recommend enough and will definitely use Alyssa in the future :)”

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!

“Danielle took care of our cat for a few days. She always send updates, pictures and videos of her check ins and our cat loved her. Thank you!”

“We are so happy to have found Emily! She took amazing care of Bear, and we couldn’t be more grateful. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands while we are at work. We’re so excited for her to be a part of Bear’s life and to watch him grow!”

“Kyle took great care of our cat while we were out of town! Played with her, brushed her, got her to sit on his lap which we’re sure she loved. He also kindly brought in our mail and watered our plants. Thanks Kyle!!”

“We booked Audrey to drop-in on our two cats while we were away on a trip. Audrey is friendly, easy to communicate with, and dealt with a couple mishaps from our crazy cats! We were away longer than usual, and Audrey’s updates with photos helped keep us at ease. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for a new pet sitter!”

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.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 7. Two pug sisters named Maggie and Ginger. I adopted my first dog, a 5-year-old boxer named Lucy. She was special needs, experiencing a myriad of health issues including cardiomyopathy, food allergies, and incontinence. I worked with her to create a life of joy and comfort. My goal was for her ailments to be the furthest thing from her mind. We did nose training together, played hide n seek in the house because long walks winded her, and she became a certified therapy dog because bringing people comfort energized her! Lucy was an accomplished dog, never hindered by her sickness. After she passed, and after my mourning period (she was my soul-dog, after all) I began volunteering at local shelters. I've done 1000s of walks, enrichment training, and would bring dogs out on outings and events to help get them adopted. Now, I would love to help you with your dog(s), whether that's checking in, walking, or just hanging out. I treat dogs like family because they are. My mom calls her two dogs my hairy sisters! I currently do freelance social media work for local animal rescues, so my schedule is very flexible as far as being able to accommodate pet care. I appreciate a checklist! You provide a checklist or any sort of direction, however brief or long, that will guide my way through what needs to be done. I treat your home like I want mine to be treated, leaving it in the same condition I found it in. I was taught to be clean, respectful, and polite. I will tidy up if necessary, I will stick to whatever you ask of me, and if anything is unclear, I will communicate with you as appropriate. My goal is to build a good relationship with you and your pet(s) to ensure my visits are an easy part of your routine.
