About: I've always had a dog in the home, I couldn't live without them. Currently I have four dogs and know the importance of getting a bit of extra help in caring for them from time to time. I have been a pet and home sitter since the age of 15. I am willing to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, and play with your fur baby just as I would my own! I am currently a Mental Health Clinician that works remotely. This provides me the flexibility to manage my schedule to fit you and your pet's needs. I have my own transportation and am willing to come to you. I have four small dogs that are well trained and friendly with other fur babies. For pet stays I do try to engage in a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along prior to a stay. I have my own home with fenced yard in front and back. When pet sitting I like to spend my time home with your pet to help them feel comfortable in my space or yours. We will sit on the couch, play, and relax together allowing you the peace of mind to know that your fur baby is being taken care of while you are away.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, all age and size since I was a kid. I recently got out of the military and am looking for something to keep me busy. I will be available five days a week, preferably afternoon. I have reliable transportation and ample time to give your pet the care they need. I have a spacious townhome and two cats that love having visitors. I live five minutes from Wapato Park, were they allow dog walking, and my complex has a dog park.
“Kimberly was absolutely terrific with our puppy, Friday! She was punctual and reliable, and sent us such a thorough recap of their first walk together, along with adorable photos - Friday was even smiling in one! We look forward to many more walks with Kimberly in Friday’s future!”
“She does a wonderful job, she is polite and respectful, diligent, and professional. She has her boyfriend come help her sometimes and it has caused zero issues or quality issues, he has also been respectful of my property and my dogs. I always get a picture of the walk walk and my puppies are happy. I have two great dogs, but one is a puller and haven’t heard any issues. I couldn’t be more happy.”
About: Life-long pet owners with a spacious home and fenced-in yard in the South Tacoma/Fern Hill area. The sleeping and kennel area is indoors and the temperature is controlled, and is separated from the rest of the living area of the home. There's plenty of space in the yard to accommodate your pet's need to run and play. The yard is fenced in and entrances secured for your pet's safety. You get one or two dedicated adults in the home full time, and your pet will receive plenty of attention and care. We had two wonderful dogs that have recently passed away. Both were with us since they were puppies and they lived full lives with us. We still have our senior American Shorthair cat, and a chatty Amazon Red-Lored Parrot in the home that will certainly outlive us! We love our animals and we want to provide that love and care to your animals as well. There's always someone at home and we already care of our own pets. We are therefore available nearly any time. Our home schedule allows for us to accept daily stays, overnight stays and even long term boarding. We have a safe, fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and grass to play in. Water, food, shade and shelter is always available. The indoor space is temperature-controlled.
About: I specialize in caring for older animals, but am happy to exercise your younger animals. I am caring and responsible, and would love to take care of your critters! I do require a short meet and greet for each animal client. I base my schedule around animal care while attending college for respiratory therapy. I am willing to do walks only during daylight hours and am a morning person. I work with my clients to tailor my services to best fit each individual situation. Each house sitting includes a 30 minute walk per day. I am willing to take your dogs on long walks, and provide companionship to your animals, and plenty of updates for the anxious owner. I am extremely diligent about following instructions. Your animals will be kept safe, and your home clean. I can be reached most hours of the day and night, and hope to care for your fur babies so you can travel with peace of mind.
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 11 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
