“I booked Elysia for daily walks for my dog for a week. She provided photos, notes and a map for each each day's walk. During the initial meet and greet, it was evident that Elysia had a good way with dogs. I would definitely book Elysia for dog walking again.”

“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 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!

“My doggie loves her walks with Emily! Emily consistently ensures that she gets a good walk with plenty of time to sniff and enjoy time outside.”

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!

“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 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.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with Kallie. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our dogs love her visits and attention. She is the cream of the crop.”

Carlos H.

“Mollie's been walking my two dogs twice a week for a couple of weeks now, and it's been great! She was very thoughtful in the initial meeting and follow up, making sure she knew what the discipline and activity goals are for each of them. The girls are calmer when I get home at night and it's a lot of peace of mind knowing how well they're taken care of by her. Highly recommend.”

Karrin L.

“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: I've also had dogs for most of my life, but I think I really gained a love and understanding with my own dog I got 2.5 years ago as a puppy. Raising a puppy has given me a whole new appreciation for dog training and having a well-behaved puppy! I haven't done much senior care of dogs, but I have worked in human Healthcare and always had a special appreciation of older patients who required certain care, so it's not outside of my realm of comfort to provide extra care. I also understand that when training dogs you need to maintain consistency and as long as your commendas/needs are expressed, I will uphold those standards for you. I am not currently working so I have a lot of flexibility in my day to provide care. Currently I manage my own dog with walks, food, potty breaks, and enrichment every day. When my husband is gone for work I manage the feeding, enrichment, and litter box cleaning for our cat as well. I have a fenced yard and access to dogs parks as well as live in a quiet neighborhood for adequate walks. My home does have stairs that are required for access, but we have lots of beds and couches for pups to get comfy on. I also have plenty of toys and treats for enrichment. We have a large koi pond in the yard, so dogs staying with us do need to have good enough recall to be called away from the pond, they should not want to jump in at sight. In the client's home I'm willing to play/provide enrichment, training, and walks in the neighborhood, or whatever the normal routine is.

About: I have 10+ years of personal experience caring for pets and 1 year of professional care experience working with animals in a veterinary setting. I have experience with dogs with additional medical and behavioral needs. I am willing to work with reactive dogs. I have some experience caring for puppies and am willing to follow any training plans that a pet parent may have. At this time, I am unable to provide boarding services in my own home for dogs over 60 pounds. I am currently available for drop-ins and walks throughout the day, house-sitting, drop in boarding and overnight boarding in my own home. My schedule is very flexible. I treat any client’s pet as if they are my own, with the utmost care and respect. I think every pets needs and happiness are worth fulfilling and give my best to every animal during our time together. At this time, I am only able to offer dog walking care to dogs over 60 lbs on a case by case basis.

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.
