“Amy is fantastic! She’s tuned in to the needs of my pup and she takes excellent care of him. I can trust her, and it’s a relief to know my dog is in good hands.”
“Great visit!”
“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”
“My cats LOVED Marina, and she clearly knew her way around the feline experience. She was friendly, professional, reliable, and obviously loved animals. I plan to call her again if needed.”
About: I have owned or cared for dogs my entire life, with the occasional rodent or scaled creature thrown in. Hopefully not at the same time. I’m comfortable with basic wound cleaning as well as administering medication. After a period working in a pet store I’m also more skilled in ear cleaning, breathing treatments, and temperature taking than I’d care to be. I work from home Monday-Friday and as long as i have WiFi, I am flexible to work around your animals schedule. I’m also a bit of a homebody so I’m perfect for all the Covid dogs looking to keep their jobs as a shadow while their parents are out of town. At this time I am unable to care for pets in my home. I live with my niece and her cat can be a little…stabby, for lack of a better word. In your home, I’ll be following your lead. I do tend to go outside with dogs at night, even with fenced yards. I tend to be wary of bobcats and coyotes looking for water and snacks. I’m also perfectly comfortable with a pile of animals sleeping in bed with me so if that’s what your animals prefer, I’m here for it.
“It was our first time using any pet service. Met Michael before confirming service. I have a Husky and a Staffy whom both would bark alot at someone new, they gave alittle bark for a second and then just gave him sniffspections before wanting to give kisses. They took no time to be comfortable with him. Made the process smooth. I booked him for a week. In that time he spent lot of time with them, even some brushing and cleaning up the backyard. As well as moving things to keep the dogs safe while playing. Great guy. Would book again.”
“Carly really took such amazing care of our babies. She took the time necessary to see to their needs, kept us updated proactively, and just loved on them as if they were her own!”
“Paul saved me a trip to the doggy ER and helped my French bulldog get treatment for a significant UTI as soon as possible. I was unable to get out of work for the only appointment my vet had available, so Paul stepped up and took her to the vet for me. Thank you, Paul!!!”
“Sarah was an incredible sitter who messaged me every day with updates and pictures of my two little ones. She kept my home tidy and always let me know what was going on. She’s a must-hire. ✨”
“Alyssa was a huge help and was so flexible! She looked after my 3 kittys and gave them lots of love. Would definitely recommend to any cat parents out there in need of a sitter.”
“Alyssa was so thoughtful towards our fur baby. She was very attentive and went above and beyond. She also sent pictures with every visit (my absolute favorite part). Thank you Alyssa for watching our baby!”
“Finding Daniella was the greatest gift for my peace of mind. I just started working out of the house after seven years working from home and I was really worried about my super clingy dog being lonely since I’m gone 11 hours a day. I trust Daniella 100% with my home and my sweet dog and I highly recommend her to anyone for any Dog care that you need.”
“Taylor is a very thoughtful and reliable cat sitter! Besides the regular updates, she closely monitored our cat's energy level and appetite everyday, and quickly notified and worked with us when she noticed any change. Our cat loves her and we are so happy to have her taking care of our cat while we were away.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens—giving me a lifetime of hands-on experience in pet care. From playful puppies to barnyard companions, I’ve learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. Now, as a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and two cats, I bring that same level of care, love, and attention to every pet I meet. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just extra TLC, I treat every furry friend like family! I’m taking a break from the traditional 9-5 routine for a couple of months to focus on doing what I love. During this time, I’m available for short walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, ensuring your furry friends get the attention they deserve while you’re away. The care and needs of your pet are always guided by your preferences and instructions as the owner, ensuring that your pet receives personalized attention and care that aligns with your expectations and routine.
“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!”
About: I have had pets since my life since I was a little girl and I love animals so much! I have had my own dog for 4 years now and I cannot imagine my life without him. I currently work 8 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday, but I am available outside of those hours. I am willing to work with your schedule to accommodate you and your pets needs. At home I have a big strong dog who loves to play and is not shy to cuddling! I can walk strong dogs on leashes, play with big strong dogs, and I am completely comfortable with lots and lots of snuggles.
“Adam was great with our cats! He took great care of them and was very patient with our cat who tends to hide under the bed around strangers. He also sent lots of wonderful pictures. Highly recommended.”
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
About: I've worked in the pet industry for a total of 7 years. I am highly educated in pet nutrition and care from the past 5 years, and in college worked for 2 years in pet boarding. I also help to adopt out foster kittens and played an active part in their care. I've had animals all my life and spent a portion of my time in high school caring for a cat with diabetes. I am familiar with both dog and cat care. I recently moved to Tacoma from Austin, TX and currently have a completely open schedule! I can work with your needs to find a schedule that works for you. I am happy to fulfill any nutritional needs of your pet including feeding a raw or supplement filled diet. I also am happy to help them play/exercise as needed.
About: Always attentive to the dogs’ needs! Walking, potty, feeding, water and more are all provided in the most timely manner to ensure a happy Doggo! Available when you need me by scheduling! Taking a break from corporate life and wanting to serve my community in anyway possible, especially our fury friends! I will obey your commands in your home and the dog’s needs to make sure everyone is safe at ease when taking care of the household and dog!

From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my fur babies were in loving and capable hands.

From the moment we arrived, Lola felt comfortable and welcomed. I received regular updates and photos, more then excepted. which gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious he were giving Lola lots of love and attention! Salman’s apartment was clean, safe, and had plenty of space for play and rest. When I picked up Lola, She was healthy, and even a little reluctant to leave—which says it all. I’ll definitely be using Salman again the next time I need boarding. Highly recommend! 10 out of 10. Thanks Salman”

“I hired Rose to watch my cats, and she cared for them for several days. She was happy to clean their litter boxes, take care of their food and water needs, and best of all she sent videos of them as she played with them. I worry about people in my home when I'm away, but she was very trustworthy, and I won't hesitate to hire her again as the need arises. Rose made leaving my pets much easier. It's clear she loves animals and takes her job caring for them very seriously. I really appreciated her.”
