“I am very please with Ethan. We are new to the area and as such was a big transition for my dog. Ethan was very willing to accommodate her needs.

“Rachel was an amazing dog walker and care taker for my dog Ace! She provided detailed and timely updates about her walks with him and she offered good training and guidance. She is so sweet and a joy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”

“Baylee is great! Gave consistent and detailed updates for daily mid morning dog walks. She went above and beyond to ensure our pup was well exercised and entertained. I hope she’ll be available to dog walk for us again soon!”

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!
“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.”

“Blaire was great and we would definitely recommend her. One of our little dogs sometimes decides she won’t walk for a stranger but she still managed to get her and our puppy out! Really appreciate your patience.”

“Kaylee is amazing with our pup! I can tell she treats and cares for him like he’s her own. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their doggos:)”

“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!”

“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.”

Ruston dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
