“Briana hands down will always be my first call when I need care for my kitties. She is so kind, responsive and provides updates to give me ample piece of mind when I’m gone.”



“Katie is absolutely wonderful with our furry family members. Our bunnies and kitty enjoy her company and she always includes pictures or video of them getting pets or playing with toys. She is excellent at communication and we always know that our pets are in good hands.”


“Brianna was an amazing help to us when we were out of town. She cared for our 3 pups and made sure they were fed, had medicine, got bathroom breaks and plenty of love! She is so communicative and very flexible. We also really loved the amazing photos she got of our pups. Seeing her updates, photos and notes about her drop in visits with our pups allowed us to relax while on vacation.”



About: I have taken care of family and friends' pets, as well as my own, for many years. I always enjoy meeting new furry friends! Thank you, and I look forward to working with you and your pets! I am currently on summer break from graduate school, so my schedule is flexible! I am available from early morning through late evening to support your pet care needs. Providing the best care and comfort for your pet is my priority! Please let me know about any specific preferences or needs for your pet.

“Another great visit/potty break with our two rescues (one with heightened anxiety)! Christina is very communicative and sweet with our two dogs. Will hope to hire again for future check ins and/or overnight house sits.”


“It was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than family, but we felt comfortable knowing how great Emily is. She sent lots of pics and in the short time we were away she taught him to shake! Emily is truly wonderful and always goes above and beyond.”


About: You pets will have their own friend during the day (that's me) to play and run around with. I will spend the whole time treating your dog and making sure everyone is comfortable. They will never even know you were gone when I'm there. They will be so tired when I'm done that they'll be little angels for you to come home to. Your pups are going to be treated just as my own, loved and cared for. They will never be alone or feel alone when I'm there with them. Your animal will appreciate you more for letting me play their little hearts out. Your beloved pets will finally be content when you are gone and you can have some peace of mind. I am currently on workers comp so I am only working one day a week 9am to 2pm. I am not doing any other work so I'm fully available. I'll always make sure your pup feels as though you never left 😁 (p.s. they'll love you more for it I promise) ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I am currently in between jobs and just need some solid work for the time being. I do not work at all right now so I am available whenever you need me. I live in an rv so I take my dog to dog parks regularly and run her around as much as possible. She's fed morning and night.

About: I was the “go too” neighbor when I was younger when it came to caring for animals. I am always on time and eager to give your animal a good walk and a friendly smile. I am most notably good at dog walking, belly rubs, and tug-of-war. I walked around 500 miles in Spain last summer! This should tell you that I love to walk and would be very excited to have your pet come along with me. I have a pet of my own and I understand that they become a member of your family. I will treat your pet as such and will do my best to support and care for them while you are away. From one dog lover to another, I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I currently have weekends and Mondays off. I like to flex my time and can fit in a visit as time allows. Nothing would make my day better then to pop in and show a little TLC. I will follow your expectations- if that’s a leash in the yard or roaming free, I understand that you know your pets needs the best!

“Kristen did a wonderful job caring for our cat Siena. She went above and beyond, always sending daily updates, and even bought and prepared additional food for her. I would highly recommend Kristen for your cat care needs!”



“This was our first trip together in years and we were nervous about leaving our kitties alone for a long weekend. Bailey was so responsive and attentive to our instructions and our concerns. The photo updates were adorable and we enjoyed being able to see that the kitties were happy and enjoying their food and play time during her visits! She also kept their areas tidy and went beyond with taking out the kitchen garbage too. We came back to contented and mellow cats, which was very comforting after a long travel day. We will definitely keep Bailey in mind when we make future travel plans!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—dogs, cats, and even small animals—so providing loving care for animals is second nature to me. While I’m new to professional pet and house sitting, I bring a lifetime of experience as a responsible and compassionate caregiver. As a seasoned educator, I’m deeply attuned to the needs of others—both human and animal! I know how to create calm, safe, and nurturing environments, and I approach each pet with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I’m especially mindful of the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your pets. I bring that responsibility seriously and with gratitude. Whether your pets need a cozy companion, a gentle walk, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help them feel loved and secure. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means your pets will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My meetings are all virtual and can be scheduled around the needs of your pets and home. I also don’t have small children, so I’m able to keep a calm and focused environment that’s ideal for pets who need consistency, affection, or extra care. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply being a steady presence, I’m available and attentive to your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a safe, peaceful, and familiar environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their routine, especially while you're away, so I do my best to follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. I take time to build trust with each animal, moving at their pace and tuning into their needs—whether that’s extra playtime, a quiet companion, or lots of snuggles. I also keep in regular communication with you, so you can feel confident that your home and beloved pets are in good hands. Your pets’ safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m honored to provide dependable care in the place they know best—home.

About: I have always had a heart for animals since I was a child, when I carried around a binder full of animal drawings, collages and scholastic newspapers everywhere I went. Through the years I have cared for many animals with hands on experience as well as having done extensive research fueled by my true passion and interest. I have loved and supported many dogs, including puppies and seniors, kitties, reptiles, birds, and even insects. I volunteer with the humane society and their foster care program and have experience with assessing injuries, administering medicine, specific behaviors including fearful, resource guarding, reactive, etc. as well as training. I have summers off due to the nature of working in the public school system! Everyday I take walks and go out for fresh air, my sweet little friends would definitely join in on the fun! I don’t have any pets or kids in the home, so your dog will get my full attention! I provide a calm, peaceful environment where every pup can feel safe and loved. Whether your dog is shy and needs a slow introduction, or full of energy and ready to play I’ll meet them where they are. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll take time to earn their trust with patience, gentle attention, and a few treats. I’m experienced with all kinds of personalities and always go at the dog’s pace. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live within walking distance of a lovely public park with plenty of grass. I keep all dogs on leash for potty breaks and walks, and I take them out at least every 1–2 hours. Puppy pads can also be used indoors if that’s what your dog is used to. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities and I treat every pup like family!

About: At age 14, I learned how to ride and work with horses and at age 16, I worked for Petsmart and learned all about dogs, cats, horses and reptiles. I myself own a 14 year old American Pit bull that I have had since 8 weeks old. She was diagnosed with IBD in 2019 and over the years, I’ve experienced illness, giving medications, surgery and recovery. I also have experience dog walking, pet sitting, administering medications and self service dog bathing through working with my family and friends companions. Since 2017, I’ve been working Wag! Caregiver and I’ve completed 332 services with 5 stars. I’m a teacher, offering boarding year round and walking/drop-in services. I’m currently on summer break and will be home for the most part. I will update my schedule when school starts September 3rd I live in a house in the Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. I have a fenced yard, no pets and a park across the street with a .25mi loop. I will follow all of the owners specifications and rules provided.

About: I am patient and enjoy meeting cats of all age levels and personalities. I read up on cat care and am a friend of all cats. I have one cat that I dote on and catsit for relatives on a regular basis. I enjoy cat events and have met cats from all over the world. I am very safety oriented and like to follow directions and communicate with the owner often. I am diligent in the care of cats, both my own and others.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 15 years and have experience caring for dogs, cats, small animals, and chickens. I know how important it is for you to feel comfortable with me caring for your pets. I ensure my interactions are positive, engaging, and safe. Having previously owned a large, reactive dog and occasionally fostering through the Humane Society, I am very experienced with dogs that are high energy, strong pullers, reactive, anxious, etc. Caring for senior, sick, or recovering pets is also within my skill set. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions you may have! I’m attending school part-time and help a friend with childcare in the afternoons. I'm available most mornings, evenings, and weekends. Happy to talk further regarding flexibility to better support your pet’s needs. I have a large one-bedroom apartment in a mostly quiet neighborhood with a lot of sunlight (perfect for those sunbathers!), a balcony, and 3/4 fenced yard with a 60-foot leash. If I’m at your home or your pet comes to mine, I make sure to adhere to the pets regular schedule as much as possible to limit disruption and stress. I pride myself in ensuring your home and pets are taken care of and safe while you’re away.

“We feel so lucky to have found Rachel, especially since this was our first time using Rover. Rachel was a fantastic communicator, shared amazing pictures of our babies and could tell our two cats were very happy with the extra attention. I highly recommend Rachel and will absolutely hire her again.”


“Hailey provided daily drop in visits for my cat Snap while I was out of town and did a wonderful job. She was very responsive and provided daily pictures and updates on how Snap was doing. Snap is a very social cat and Hailey spent time bonding and playing with her. It was great to come home to find Snap happy and relaxed and not stressed from my long absence. I highly recommend Hailey and will use her services in the future.”


About: Hello My name is Salman. Over the past 10+ years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and small reptiles. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning enclosures, and providing companionship to ensure animals feel safe and comfortable. I have also assisted with grooming tasks such as brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. In addition to working with individual pet owners, I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I supported staff in maintaining clean living spaces, observing animal behavior for signs of stress or illness, and helping with adoption events. These experiences have strengthened my sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and deepened my passion for animal welfare. Animals are my passion. Rest a sure you’re pet will definitely be safe with me :) I am home full time. I will have lots of time playing with your pet & showing them new tricks. They will love staying with me because they will have all my attention. I will make sure they are always at a place where I can see them. I will make sure to remove every object or things that shouldn’t be around the house. They are also allowed on my furniture. My house is also their house

Val M.

“Our pets are like our children, so when we were going away on vacation, we were worried about who would care for and love our babies as much as we do. Luckily I was referred to Valerie and our worries were quickly diminished! Our dog loved her from the moment they met and our kitty was just as happy too! :) Going on a much-needed vacation we didn't want to have to worry about our babies while we were away, and with Valerie caring for them, we didn't worry one bit the entire trip! She stayed at our house, it was immaculate when we returned and she often texted updates and pictures so I knew everyone was safe and happy at home! She took many walks with our dog, and even arranged play dates with other neighborhood dogs! It turned out our pets had just as fun a week as we had on our vacation! Don't hesitate to call Valerie for all of your furry babies' needs, you won't be sorry!!!”
