Pet Boarding Tacoma

“Dylan was a great sitter for Tucker! I did a meet and greet before the stay and immediately knew Tucker would have a great time staying with Dylan and his dogs. Dylan sent updates and pictures letting me know how Tucker was doing. I would absolutely rebook in the future!”

“Great experience boarding my dog w Larissa for 3 nights. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy and reassuring. Communication was great the entire time & I really appreciated the daily updates/photos while I was away. My dog can be pretty independent & likes doing his own thing & she really seemed to understand his personality & made him feel comfortable. When he was picked up, he was relaxed, happy & clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Larissa again in the future & I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”

“Chris was wonderful with our little ShihTzu. He and his wife answered all of my questions and helped me feel confident in their ability during the meet and greet. We received daily photos and message updates. It was easy to see our dog felt very comfortable in their home and got along with their pays. We will book with him again!”

About: We provide a quiet, loving home for hypoallergenic dogs. We both love dogs, and while we’re newer to dog boarding, we’ve cared for friends' dogs and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Because we both have allergies, we're only able to welcome hypoallergenic breeds into our home. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a calm environment. I know every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to follow your care instructions to help them feel at home. I’m excited to meet you and your dog! We work in schools and are available most weekends as well as breaks, including Christmas, mid winter, spring break, and summer. During weekends and breaks we are often home doing yard work, or walking around our neighborhood. We have a fenced yard with room to run. We don’t have dogs of our own but all of our neighbors do. If your dog is crate-trained, you're welcome to bring their crate for a familiar sleeping space.

“My dog Moose had a great time with Esther! He really seemed comfortable with her. There is a huge fenced yard and lots of room to run around, Esther texted pics and updates, was very professional and I felt happy leaving him with her. I would definitely recommend Esther!”

“We had our Maltese, Beau, stay with Miranda for just over a week. She kept us up to date about how he was doing. Actually, he made friends with two cats, which was a surprise to me. Beau was comfortable at Miranda's place. He was happy to see me when I picked him up, but I think he had fun staying at Miranda's.”

“Toby stayed with Maria and Andrew during Memorial weekend. Maria was prompt in communicating with me which was a peace of mind for me. They live next to a park which is super convenient for dog walks. I received a photo each day. Overall, a positive experience.”

“Kristine was amazing with Boa and was incredible on communication and flexibility. Extremely thankful to find her and I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her for anyone looking for care for their pets!”

Tanner S.

“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”

“Rudy and his family we so fantastic! They accommodated our crazy schedule and we’re flexible with drop off/pick up. They had a great/clean house and definitely tuckered our our golden retriever who loves to play a lot. They’re the go to if you are in the South Sound area.”

Mitchell M.

“Brittany and her family were great to my dogs. She sent lots of photos and updates and it's clear they were welcomed into the family while we were gone for a week. They came back happy and in great spirits. Brittany has another little beagle who my dogs loved playing with during there stay. We would def use her again and recommend her to other dog parents.”

“Joshu took such great care of my boy, Louis. He was very communicative and was very professional and friendly, and I received lots of updates throughout the stay.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, growing up with them and continuing to care for dogs for friends and others over the years. I’m also the proud owner of an 8-year-old Newfoundland/Collie mix, so I’m very comfortable with larger dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection. However, I also grew up with dachshunds and love the little ones just the same. One of my strengths is reading a dog’s personality and responding to what they need. I’m naturally affectionate with friendly, social dogs, but I’m equally comfortable giving shy or timid dogs the space and time they need to feel safe. I never want to force an interaction—I’d rather let a dog build trust at their own pace. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. Communication is also very important to me. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when someone else is caring for your pet, so owners can expect me to be responsive and keep them informed. For dogs staying with me, I have a fenced backyard and live in a very walkable neighborhood, making it easy to provide outdoor time, exercise, and walks throughout the day. My pup, Drogo, is very kind and loves other dogs and he's especially gentle with the little ones. He can be a little grumpy with puppies, so that is a case-by-case basis (and I would encourage a meet and greet beforehand). Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether your dog wants walks and playtime, lots of pets, or simply a calm person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make them feel comfortable. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a natural part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in around other commitments. Your dogs will be my priority. My flexibility also allows me to be responsive to owners and accommodate changes when possible. I want both you and your dog to feel like they’re getting plenty of attention—not like they’re just another appointment on my calendar. Safety, trust, and making your dog feel comfortable are always my priorities. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, boundaries, and quirks, so I’ll take the time to learn what works best for yours rather than assuming every dog needs the same kind of care. For dogs staying in my home, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and live in a very walkable neighborhood for regular walks and exercise. My dog, Drogo, is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but I think introductions are important. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable and we can make sure our dogs are a good fit—especially with puppies or dogs who may need a little more time to adjust. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both your space and your dog’s established routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding meals, walks, medications or special care instructions, doors and gates, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to a dog’s body language. Some dogs want to be best friends immediately, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I’m happy to let them set the pace. And of course, communication is a big priority for me. I’ll be responsive and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while they’re in my care.

“We had a great experience with them! Our dog can be a bit difficult to handle at times, but they were able to care for him with patience and understanding. We really appreciate their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“This was our first time utilizing the Rover app. I chose Sarah based on her experience and repetitive high ratings. She and her husband service did not disappoint. My golden retriever seem to have a fantastic experience. Several photos and videos were shared with me throughout the day. Additionally, Sarah was accommodating my desire for a late evening pick up. I would recommend and will definitely utilize again as travels permit.”

Kathleen M.

“Ashleigh took amazing care of our frenchie and sent lots of updates during his stay.She accommodated us for a last minute stay and sent us home with a happy and tired pup. 🥰 THANK YOU”

Shannon D.

“I had to leave kind of suddenly for an emergency in Spokane and I reached out to Courtney. She was so nice from the get go and wanted to do a little meet and greet with Peyton which I was unable to because I had an emergency and she was understanding about that but it shows she does what she can to keep your pet safe and comfortable . Peyton immediately fell in love with her! He so comfortable with her. She was sending pictures and making sure he got so much attention! If you need someone to give your pet attention it’s Courtney!”

Brandon Y.

“I can’t say enough great things about Matthew! He took care of my dog Smokey for the entire day while I was out working, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped Smokey off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Matthew is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring he went above and beyond to make sure Smokey was happy, comfortable, and well exercised. He provided regular updates, which was such a nice touch, and it was clear that Smokey had an amazing time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, well fed, and clearly had a great day. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely kind pet sitter, Matthew is the one to call. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future! Thank you again, Matthew!”
