8. Romy S.
“I got caught up in the “return to work” trend and needed someone to walk my dogs while I’m away. One of whom is a bit tricky to deal with. Romy stepped in on short notice and is knocking it out of the park!”
9. Amanda M.
“Do you want a dog sitter who is exploding with affection for your dog? Good thing you've got Amanda. She has watched my dog with rather last minute arrangement and I couldn't have been more excited and thankful that I had found her through my coworker. She has thorough experience working with dogs of all ages and training levels through her experience working with dogs at shelters. She is the kind of person who genuinely thrilled to be spending time with dogs (or any animals, for that matter) at any given time! She is immaculately responsible, understands needs of the animal and owner (and goes beyond the needs!), and genuinely loves animals that she provides cares to. Amanda is a joy to work with for me and my ever-so-energetic 1.5 yr lab. I'd HIGHLY recommend Amanda for anyone and everyone looking for care!”
10. Yvette S.
“Her pup is so happy going to the park with her and her family and camping. I love seeing all the pictures of her pup on social media.”
11. Adam S.
“Adam has been the best find of Tacoma so far! He is extremely prompt in his responses and communicates easily and is flexible! I trust him completely in my apartment and with my dog. He takes Chief to the park and plays with him for a long while when he has time. I could not imagine a better friend for Chief!”
12. Monica F.
About: I grew up with dogs- big, small, young, and old so I have many years of experience with different behaviors and needs. Wanting to make your baby as comfortable as can be! I work 3 days a week but on my days off I am available almost 24/7. I love to be outside and go on walks so your baby will get plenty of exercise. I live in an apartment complex but am able to take your baby outside multiple time a day. I currently have no other pets in the house.
13. Tamaria L.
“Tamaria was flexible and happy to work with us when our plans changed unexpectedly. Our dog Nessa really enjoyed her time with T and was well cared for on her walks. Many thanks!”
14. Courtney L.
“Over the years, Courtney has provided exceptional care for our now 14-year-old Labrador Retriever mix, Annie, throughout the various stages of her life—from a playful pup to a now senior dog requiring medication. More recently, Courtney has been instrumental in assisting with our new pup, Winnie, who has reactivity issues towards other people and dogs. Her confidence and experience in handling such challenges give us complete peace of mind when entrusting our pets to her care. Courtney is reliable, patient, caring, a good communicator and has a love of animals. We whole heartedly recommend her without reservation.”
15. Nathan C.
