“Awesome sitter. Morpheus had a blast and was calm coming home which is such a great thing because he has nonstop energy. Matt sent me a video of him having fun shortly after I left him and quickly responded to any texts I sent while Morpheus was in his care. We will be going back!”
“I appreciated that Kelly was able to accommodate a last minute request to watch Phil. I received updates throughout the day and he went for 3 walks with her. I’m very happy overall with care and services and would recommend to other dog owners. Kelly’s home was clean and well cared for.”
“Heather takes great care of my Floki. He loves to go to her doggy daycare to socialize, and play with the cats. She's very flexible and convenient. She provides Floki with superb care, playtime and training that he needs as a young puppy. I am definitely a return client.”
“Mollie and team have been very accommodating to our needs for our Great Dane and our questions/concerns/schedule, allowing us ample time for meet and greet and trial runs to feel comfortable. They’re very knowledgeable and seem to really have a heart for caring for pups ❤️”
“Alyssa was such a great pet sitter to my little dog Ella! She first of all was able to help me on such short notice and that was super appreciated. She sent me some pictures and let me know how my dog was doing for the couple of hours she was with her. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my fur baby!”
“Priscilla is great! Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and was really flexible with pickup and drop off times. My dog fell asleep in the car within 5 minutes on the drive home so they got lots of energy out.”
“Sonya is the best thing that could have ever happened to us and our sweet German Shepherd shelter pup. She’s been the most supportive, caring, and transparent pet sitter - she makes Mika’s life better, and helps to uplift us to be the best dog parents we can be!”
“Westin and I absolutely loved Mariana!! She was so kind and kept me up to date throughout the day along with sending adorable pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving Westin with her and he got so excited every time he saw her. Highly recommend!!”
“Ivonne has taken great care of my pup, Bear on several occasions now. Whenever I bring Bear to her home now, he yelps in joy and can't wait for her to open the door. She sends lots of photo updates throughout the day and always makes me feel at ease to have Bear stay with her.”
“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”
“Rose is amazing! She is so kind and loving. Theodore had a fun filled day with her adorable pack. ❤️ Rose kept me updated with many pictures from their adventures. ? Theodore is definitely going back to hang with Rose and her pack.”
About: Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away. *Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play. I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.
About: I worked as an unliscenced vet tech at a high volume shelter in Texas. I have worked with TNR programs, as a behavioral assessor for a dog rescue and I have 10+ years of experience handling dogs/cats. Currently I have one dog and one cat who are my great loves. I know how to administer vaccines, do CPR and first aid, and give oral medications. I am currently in school to get my vet tech liscence and enjoying life as a single parent. I have plenty of time during the day to dedicate to taking care of your babies as if they were my own. I am all about positive reinforcement. Treats, games, all the pets and praise are the best way to take care of an animal. I have gone through fear free training, my dog is a psychiatric service dog I trained my self and I have taken three german shephards through canine good citizen training. I am happy to walk, play with, feed/water and help with light training.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, even goats! Caring for them has always been second nature to me. As I got older, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, walking dogs and occasionally opening my home to board them. Over time, that grew into fostering pups through a rescue, which has been one of the most rewarding experiences—helping dogs feel safe, loved, and ready to meet their forever families. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, I have experience with dogs of all ages, and I truly enjoy giving each one the love, patience, and care they deserve. I am currently a stay at home mom to my kids, ages 10, 7 & 5. I am home most of the day, if we do leave for an outing it’s no more than a few hours. Caring for pets in our home, with our fosters we have a good system of slow introduction with our current dogs (male, 7yrs, female, 4yrs) who are very dog friendly and use to random dogs being at our house haha. Once we know everyone will get along we let them meet in the backyard, with leash attached. If they are staying over night, they will sleep in a wire crate (we have a large double crate) they will eat their meals in their crate as well, to avoid any food aggression. The kids can be loud and busy, so we would need to assure the dog won’t be triggered or lash out at that type of behavior. We haven’t had an issue with this so far.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and currently have a 7 year old Basenji named Althea who I love with all my heart. I'd love to spend time with your pet and give them just as much love as I do my own. I am currently unemployed and am available 7 days a week for pet care. I can come mornings and evenings any day of the week. I will treat your home and pet as if they were my own and follow any and all rules you set for your pets care.
About: Hi Friend! I'm Sarah, and my husband is James. I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years, have lived with at least one dog for the last 30 years, and for my whole life, have always gotten excited when I given the privilege to meet a new animal! I've cared for puppies, as well as seniors, from tiny breeds to extra large breeds. I also have experience with cats! (more information in 'cat care details'. My current pup is a 3 year old Chiweenie named Laszlo, who I've raised from 10 weeks old. Your furry best friend is in good hands! If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me. I work from home, so I'm always by my phone! I'm very flexible with my bookings; I am adaptable to accommodate you and your pet to provide the most comfort for all. I hope to hear from you soon, bud! I create my own schedule, so that allows me to be very flexible. However, my openings fill up quickly, and I book on a first-come basis; but if you're an existing member of our pack, and you don't see the dates you need open on my calendar, just reach out and I may be available! (the calendar on my profile reflects availability for new clients only.) Your pet will have an endless supply of water, lots of time to get their energy out, and will receive plenty of love! Your pet's safety is my mission!

Tacoma dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!
If I could give Mandy & Greg ten stars, I absolutely would. Genuinely some of the kindest, most attentive, careful, and devoted dog-care people I've ever met! Their home and yard are beautiful, easy to get to, they were very communicative, and I got 3 pictures and a video during a daycare day. My boys were so happy when I picked them up - if I lived in Tacoma they would be with Mandy & Greg multiple times a week! I cannot recommend them enough. Very grateful for the excellent care.
Haley, thanks for giving Timmy a safe and stimulating daycare day! I can tell he had a lot of fun going on adventures in the neighborhood with you. A good balance of exercise and rest is what he loves! Thank you so much for being flexible about pick up as well, we had a wonderful time at Ren Fair and hope you get to go next year! Definitely consider booking Haley, she made my anxious boy feel safe and met all his high strung needs. Anxious and attachment issues can be challenging, but she really did put him at ease. So thankful!
Kate was very friendly, wonderful with Enzo and worked with me and my schedule. She has a great backyard, where he loved to explore and run around. I was so appreciative of Kate being able to jump in and watch him for the day while I was at work. I highly recommend her and no doubt we will see her again!
My pups and I are so incredibly thrilled and thankful that we found Danielle as our permanent sitter! Her energy is truly wonderful and as a pet parent, I feel relieved seeing my dogs happy to see her each day that they are in her care. My dogs took to Moshi and Danielle's partner as part of their little pack. It really is the cutest thing, and she is exceptional at the level of service, responsiveness and open communication about my two dogs. Danielle is definitely a 5/5 highly recommend doggie caregiver. THANK YOU, DANIELLE!! <3
