House Sitting Tacoma

“Ryenne was fantastic with my brood. I was a little nervous going into the sit since we had only had time to do a video call intro, but she more than exceeded my expectations and I had one of the most relaxing weekends away in years. truly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing plus…she washed the sheets so I didn’t come home to a pile of laundry. But the main thing is that my beasts were super well-cared for and happy. Thank you!!!!”

“Stephanie was wonderful and we were so at ease with leaving our pets with her. Communication was on point and she was incredibly kind and understanding!”

“We came home to happy animals and a very tidy house. Megan was very communicative during the entire stay. Definitely had a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of the fuzzy ones.”

“We are so grateful to have found Aeja! Since this was our first time using house sitting, we were a little nervous, but she exceeded all of our expectations. She was kind, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dogs clearly loved her, and it was such a relief knowing they were in such great hands. We came home to two happy pups and a well-cared-for home. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much, Aeja!”

“Yvette was thankfully available last min when my boyfriend was called into work and I had a 24 hour shift. I left her notes around the house to care for the dogs and she did great with them! The dogs seemed to really enjoy her and she made sure to give quick texts to clarify or asks questions when needed. Great job!”

About: Two sitters, one booking. While we also love small dogs and purebreds, big dogs (especially pitties) are very welcome! Hi, we’re Maggie and Mark, a Tacoma couple offering house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks in your home. We don’t board dogs at ours. Our experience We’ve pet-sat informally for years. We’ve also fostered and done dog transport with Lucky Paws and Red Waggin’. Mark has done most of the transport: moving dogs between kennels and fosters, to vet appointments, and on south-to-north shelter pipeline runs. Our fostering has mostly been short-term, so we’ve met many dogs with very different temperaments, including an 80-pound German Shepherd puppy with energy to spare. Our own dogs were seniors for much of our time with them. Hank was very anxious, so we’ve learned a lot about calming nervous dogs. Our last dog could barely walk in her final weeks, so we’re comfortable with hands-on senior care, including carrying a 50-pound dog. About us and dogs Piper, our pitty, started as a foster and stayed. She passed away this fall, and we’re not ready to adopt again yet. We have no other dogs at home, so your dog gets all the attention, and we get our dog fix. • Overnights: We both stay in most cases. • Time out: If we’re both out, it’s usually no more than about 4 hours. • Maggie: Usually free until 5. • Mark: He guides tours. In the off season his charters are in the afternoon, and he’s home by 9. • Tour season: Early April to mid-October, so ask us about specific dates. • Messages: Either of us will answer, usually within the hour. • Experience: Years of informal pet-sitting, plus fostering and transport with Lucky Paws and Red Waggin’. • Senior and anxious dogs: Our last two dogs were seniors for much of our time with them. We’ve calmed an anxious dog, and we’ve given hands-on mobility care, including carrying a 50-pound dog. • Medication: Oral only, no injections. • Can’t take: Dogs with a bite history, or dogs with severe separation anxiety who can’t be left alone at all. • Updates: As many photos and videos as you want. • Home care: Happy to bring in mail, water plants, take out the trash, and leave your home clean. • Environment: We sit in your home, not ours. Because we have no other dogs at home, your dog has our full attention.

“Andrea is amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our pups and home. She took them on walks, spent quality time with them, kept us very well updated and even cleaned up our house. We and the pups will be excited to have her back for our next trip!”

“EJ's attention to detail was exceptional. She thoroughly reviewed the information about Tessie, asked questions, and made sure that she understood Tessi's routine, and the house. Tessie had a medical emergency that required a visit to the vet. EJ handled the issue proffessionaly and compasionately and made sure the Tessie got the proper treatment, kept me informed, and followed up with the appropriate treatment when they returned home. Tessie is doing well. Tessie was well cared for while I was away. The house was spotless. EJ was exceptional.”

“Aaliyah is the best! She took such great care of our dogs. One is older, and she gave him so many cuddles and attention. The other is a bit anxious, but Aaliyah won her over quickly. I always hate leaving our pets, but I was quickly relieved when I realized they were in great hands. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we returned home. And our house looked exactly as we left it, if not better. I recommend Aaliyah highly! We will be using her again.”

About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.

“Once again, Adam took great care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats while we were away for almost 2 weeks. We have a fairly high maintenance pack, and Adam is up to the task. There was some extra medication that one of the dogs needed while we were gone, and he picked it up for us and made sure she got what she needed. He kept us updated on how things were going, and sent pictures of happy critters to keep our minds at ease. He genuinely loves the animals he takes care of, so we know they not only get what they need, but they also get lots of love and attention.”

“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”

“Mariana was incredible!! I needed some last minute assistance with my pack and Mariana pulled in in the clutch. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that. Communicative, great with the dogs and super nice. I will absolutely be utilizing Mariana’s services again. Thank you Mariana!!”

“Olivia is a gem. It’s such a gift to find a pet sitter that is very communicative, considerate, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Olivia was proactive with our pets and asked us really good questions to ensure all their needs were met. She was wonderful with her updates and photos. Our pets just loved her! We highly recommend her pet care and we will be booking again!”

“Jaimi went above and beyond when staying at my home caring for my 2 dogs and cat! I came home to a spotless house-definitely cleaner than I left it! Also she was so sweet to congratulate me and my husband on our pregnancy with a gift! The house and pets were well taken care of; I knew I didn’t have to worry leaving them in her hands! I will be having her back as long as she’d like to come! :)”

About: I love animals, especially dogs. We have 2 a black labradoodle-Hudson and black lab-Hilda. Both of them LOVE all other dogs, and always happy to have any company on walks or over night stays. I do doggy daycare 2-3x a week taking a group of pups to Edgewood to run around on 5 acres at my parents property. Fenced and no fenced areas, so any dog is safe having fun running around getting their energy out and playing with friends 🐶🐾🐕🐕‍🦺 For walks, I can do a standard walk or run if you would like your dog to have more of a workout. I live in a great neighborhood so would be happy to walk them around here or closer to home. I have dog sat and done regularly scheduled walks in the past. I love going to the dog park so I can take the dog with me to go there if they have a lot of energy and like that experience. I can also help with giving medicine, schedule feedings etc. I work full time remote from home so happy to work with clients on a schedule with them based on dog/animal needs. I an up early and off in the mid afternoon to go for runs or long walks with my pup (and yours too 😊) I have a small fenced yard they can hang out in. Have a big 2 bedroom apartment with my pup so shared space for all of us Also have a family 5 acre property to take the pups to in order to get out energy if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Rosa! With 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and little quirks that make them special. I share my home with my 11-year-old Yorkie, who is still playful and full of personality. Caring for a senior dog has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys neighborhood walks, exploring the park, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with a trusted companion, I’ll tailor our time together to their energy level and preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and rest so your dog can maintain a familiar routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision. That’s why I value clear communication, thoughtful care, and regular photo updates through Rover, so you can see how your pup is doing. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM, with flexibility depending on my schedule. Before booking, I’d love to learn about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help them feel right at home! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule whenever possible. My priority is keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and supervised. I have a clean, dog-friendly home and an 11-year-old Yorkie who is friendly and used to having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crate use, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog has a calm space to relax when they need quiet time.
