He even took Brutus out to let him have some outdoor experiences. He gave phenomenon service!

Thank you Caitlyn and your cute doodles!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats as a child, and started doing pet care for neighbors as soon as I could. Caring for pets continued through college, getting connected through friends to walk dogs in between classes. When I moved to the PNW, I discovered Rover and have been sitting and walking ever since. The recent gap in my services was from moving down to University Place and then focusing on my own dog, Winston, for the first two years after his adoption. I am only offering walks and drop-ins (no long term or overnight care). My pup Winston will stay at home whenever I am booked for services so that I can give your pet(s) 100% of my attention. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels and have experience with quite a few behavioral concerns as well. I am very comfortable working with pets that struggle with: - leash reactivity - anxiety around people or other animals - medical issues, including those that require medication administration or emergent care - pain and mobility issues due to aging - food sensitivities/diet restrictions I also love working on dog training whether that’s loose leash walking techniques or just having your pup learn or practice tricks as a part of a drop in visit. I know the feeling of leaving your pet with a Rover sitter for the first time, especially when they have a history of medical issues or anxiety, so I always send detailed updates with photos to keep you at ease. I’m so excited to be starting my services again and hope to meet you and your pets soon! I am taking a break from work before beginning a fully remote role as a consultant in a few months, offering me a ton of flexibility to set my own schedule. Once I begin working again, advance notice will make it easier for me to schedule my meetings around Rover bookings. I live in home with my partner in a quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I typically refrain from off leash activities, interactions with other dogs/people, or rigorous activities like hiking or running unless I have permission from the owners and repeat experience with the pet.

“I feel so lucky to have found Oneeda. She took great care of my high energy pup! I went on one of my longer vacations of the year and felt at ease with Oneeda caring for my girl and providing awesome updates.”

Brittany S.

“Karla and her family are incredible! They take the best care of our dog when we go away, treating him like family and giving him so much love and affection. I feel so lucky we have such a wonderful sitter for our dog!”

Leah R.

“Our dog stayed with Destiny and Julian for a night and seemed to have a great time! We're looking forward to leaving him with them more in the future.”

Mark D.

“Trina is the best!!! I have spoken to a few people about watching our babies and some people were pushy or rude. Trina was so easy to work with. She even took our babies when we contacted he for a super last minute stay. Thank you so much!!! Trina took the time to text us pictures and gave us updates throughout the stay. She responds quickly and professionaly. We will definitely request Trina to watch our babies in the future. We already set up a reservation for when we take our next trip. I know our babies are in good hands while staying with Trina. 5 Stars all the way!!!”

About: I’ve lived my whole life with animals. From ducks to dogs, there isn’t much I haven’t experienced. My calm and loving nature invites all animals in with confidence. I am confident with all sizes and demeanors. I am mama to an 85lbs lab named Benji and a 15lbs cavalier King Charles named Willow. Pet care is not just a service I offer; it is an essential, non-negotiable part of my daily life. As the owner of a dog named Benji, my schedule is already built around providing consistent, attentive, and loving care. This personal experience ensures that I understand the importance of routine, patience, and vigilance when caring for your pet. When caring for your pet in your own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine to minimize stress and anxiety. I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk routes, medications, and household rules. I prioritize home security by ensuring all doors, windows, and gates are securely locked, and I treat your living space with the utmost respect, always leaving it clean and exactly as I found it.

“This was my first time using Rover. Kourtney was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times and sent frequent pictures with updates. I have a young energetic dog and they did an amazing job making him feel at home. Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring home to watch your dogs!”

“Marla is amazing ! I left my little paris with the right one 😅 she took care of my girl while she had an upset tummy also diarrhea, mind you I gave her the option to bring her back because I felt bad but she said it was fine & took such good care of her & made sure she was okay, also the communication was on point Marla never failed to keep me updated throughout the day and sent pictures ! I'll definitely be sending her back, thank you Marla 🩷”

“Paul is a super great guy! Our dogs absolutely loved him and were very happy pups when we were reunited. Felt very comfortable having Paul take care of our babies. If we're back in Tacoma, we would reach out to have him take care of our dogs again. Thanks so much Paul, you really helped ease our minds with you taking care of our dogs.”

About: As a former humane society worker, an assistant at a boarding vet clinic, and ranch hand I have had lot of experience with dogs and other animals. I have some training experience and lots of energy, which means lot of walks (or runs!). I am particular about schedules and will make it my mission to adapt to your pets and provide optimal companionship in my care. (He/him) I have an open and adaptable schedule which leaves plenty of time for your pet! With some coordination on both of parts we can find the perfect time I offer a low stimulation environment for your pet while looking for signs for the attention that they require. For boarding your pet will have access to walks by a near by park or optionally a dedicated dog park. I will discuss every detail of your pet as need be as to get medications and feedings done on time, every-time.

“We wish we had found John and his family sooner! Nicki had a great time staying with them. We received daily updates and photos, and she even got to enjoy walks. For longer stays, we prefer that Nicki is the only dog or that the sitter only has one of their own, since she values her space. That said, for shorter stays, being around multiple dogs is totally fine—she gets to rest and recharge when she returns home. During her stay, she saw one other dog briefly, which was no issue. We would absolutely recommend John and plan to use his services again!”

Rosalie & Monica N.

“Dennis and Lynn made our first time Rover experience such a relief. Maple seemed to really enjoy her stay and we are already looking to schedule our next trip with them!”

“Lexie is my absolute go-to! I can’t imagine anyone being more attentive or loving to my little one. I get so many pictures and updates and I really feel like my little girl is living her best life when she’s there.”
