Dog Walkers in Tenino, WA

“Rachel is wonderful. A true dog lover. She shows a lot of love for my dog and really knows how to read his mood. Billy loves his walks with Rachel! I think he likes her better than me actually. I love her reports about their walks.”

About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

About: We are huge dog lovers and have our own crew of rescue dogs. We have been involved in dog rescue for many years on and off! Noella is a SAHM. So she is generally home unless out on and adventure or running errands/appointments. Niles has Saturday and Sunday off and is home evenings. We have 3 indoor cameras so we can check in while we are work or away for any reason. We own the home and property and have almost 2 acres, with a large portion securely fenced. We pair your dog with our dogs that are appropriate for age, play, and general personality similarities. Little dogs can be separate from large dogs if needed/preferred. Dogs are always supervised- whether indoors or out! We just want to extend our love and passion for dogs to others! Young dogs-seniors are all welcome in all shapes and sizes! Our home is their home! We have a secure indoor kennel and outdoor kennel if needed. Special diets are no problem! We are willing to do anything for your dog that you do! Pictures and updates are always provided! We do require that all dogs be fully vaccinated and on flea/ tick medication.

About: I am just getting back into to Rover after welcoming two beautiful kids into the world. I’ve always loved dogs and animals. They are like built in friends always there and just wanting unconditional love. We have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had small dogs growing up and now we have two fur babies of our own, a German Shepard and a terrier mix, who has no sense of personal space. Over all I’ve had experience with all sizes of dogs between owning them watching them in high school and college. Being that now I’m a mom to a toddler and baby I will bring them with me. So if that’s not something you’d be okay with I totally get it but I’m not the best fit for watching your fur babies. The baby will stay in his carrier for the most part and the toddler will want to play fetch with your dogs lol. I think she likes dogs more then me most days 😂 Our life’s revolve around our kids and dogs lol. I make sure our pup don’t stay shut in for to long for a long period of time. When we get home we either go on a walk or play for a while to burn off all of their built up energy and excitement. Our pups go everywhere with us from hiking, to camping, to going for a ride to get a pup cup. While I take care of your fur babies my toddler and I will just play with them and give them all of the attention while watching/ walking them, taking them outside, and feeding them.

“Becky was so great! Super thoughtful. Great updates. Even gave Aspen a handmade little toy on a day she walked her. Couldn’t say enough positives”

“Maycee has sat for us twice now and takes great care of our large shepherd mix. Grateful for her attention to detail and punctuality! Veda always seems happy and relaxed after a visit with Maycee.”

About: I have had many dogs and cats in my 30 year lifetime. I love my pets and want the best for them, so I understand how others feel about their animals. I have been pet and house sitting professionally for the last 3 years. I always follow owner’s directions exactly, and enjoy brushing, walking and playing with both dogs and cats. Currently my wife and I have a 7 year old cat whom we play with daily, brush and give all love to as well. I take him to the vet for a check up every year in a soft travel cat carrier and update his vaccinations. I would like to pet sit more cats in the future. I’m also a good communicator who updates pet owners and shares pictures if they want them. If I’m staying overnight, I leave the home picked up and clean. I have been learning a lot from my wife who has grown up doing dog, horse and sheep 4-H. She is my go to person for more information, or if puppies, kittens or farm animals are involved. My schedule is very flexible. I’m always able to care for pets throughout mornings, and afternoons. I work a swing shift in the evenings Monday through Thursday from 4pm - 9:00. I am able to take care of pets before and after this block of time. I can stay overnight any evening in the week. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays I’m free anytime to care for pets. I give a high level of pet care. I am an active and fit person who will not just “watch” your pet. I will use their toys, play with them, walk the dogs, and even enjoy going on a run or to a park. I brush and bathe dogs when that’s needed too. It just depends on what you the owner prefers. I follow directions exactly and if the animal is old or sick I am happy to administer medication, help them move around the house or go outside and will be careful and mindful of their safety and limitations. I am used to dogs with food allergies and dietary restrictions as well. I do not disturb your stuff or property. I leave things as you left them and even keep things clean.

About: We come from a multi-pet big-dog family. We have a dog of our own that came from a family litter. She's 4yrs old and is part of a hearing service dog program. Let us know if you're ok with or would like for us to bring our dog with while we hangout with your animal. We've spent professional time tending to animals in animal care settings. IF your animal is under 2yrs old, we'd like documentation of the vaccines they've received thus far so that we can keep us and ours safe. We're prepared & equipped for: - large breed dogs - mixed breed dogs - dog & cat households - social/anti social dogs - sensitive dogs - velcro dogs (dogs that prefer to stay w/ or be around their human pack) - reactionary dogs - all life stages (newborn to elder) - full time outside/inside dogs - working dogs - cats & all their moods Pet care is our daily routine. We work unconventional hours/days. Give us ample notice and we'll be there for your animals like they're our own. What we can offer is what we'd hope for. Someone to take care of our non-human family like we would, someone who's capable, trustworthy, and knows their field. We're naturalists and prefer to be around animals. Fenced yards are everything ! Then again, we've lived in many places where we didn't have that luxury. We're ready for neighborhood walks, dog car rides (seatbelts included), dog parks if that's your ballpark, or ready to roam around your abode just to stimulate your animal. Studying animal behavior has made us pretty good at reading dog cues, especially bathroom and fatigue/needing calm for zzz. We just ask that you're honest about your dogs needs, wants, routine, and capabilities. Care for your animal is same for your home. We'll treat it with kindness as we would our own. We know how an animals home environment can be the most stabilizing thing, especially when their family is away, so we know just how to make ourselves part of your home so your animal can do their thing. Enrichment is one of our passions. Be assured that any down time will be mixed with sensory, olfactory ,or environmental enrichment for your animal should you desire.

About: Hello! I have been working with horses for around five years, and in that time, I have watched and cared for many different types of animals. I am willing to watch, care for, and love on any (and all) animals. I believe that each animal has a different way that they want to be loved. Some dogs are energetic and want to return that ball to you for hours. Others may want to just sit and cuddle for that same time. Each animal has his/her own unique experience in life. Therefore I believe that each individual should be treated differently, but with equal love and attention. I am willing (love) to watch animals that may have abuse in their history, are shy to new people, or may have anxiety, or physical limitations. I have a lot of experience with anxious animals, seizures, and animals with physical limits. I used to have one of my own, now an angel. I require a meet-and-greet before I watch your animal(s), just so I can know exactly where everything is and make sure I can help your animal(s) be as comfortable as possible. A good meet-and-greet also helps me meet the animals that may have more hesitations about meeting me. I can provide references upon request! Thank you for your consideration of my services! I am avalible for pet care all days of the week. I am a full-time online college student, which allows a lot of time in my mornings and afternoon to spend time with your animal(s)! My evenings tend to be busy due to my equestrian team practices, but I am able to feed between the hours of 4-6pm. These practices are generally Tuesdays and Thursdays. I take the utmost pride and care of your animals while you are away. Their food always comes first. I enjoy morning/afternoon walks and/or cuddles! I also take pride in putting myself on their schedule for their comfort. What you would like me to do, that is what I will do and more! I have experience caring for abused, shy animals as well as animals that may have anxiety or physical limitations. Please message me if you are wondering about my experience with a specific special need that your animal has! I would like to make sure that I am a good fit for their needs and can provide what is necessary for their health and comfort.

While I'm out working my partner is at home and we would be taking care of your babies together. We also have a 6 year old son that adores playing with the dogs. We are more than willing to answer any other questions, as needed. I can take care of babies any time if the day, I am currently sharing my time with 3 fur babies and my son. I am currently looking for work so I have all day availability. We work with the clients and their babies needs there are 2 of us that would be helping your babies get all the love and attention they would need. We would just need to know any dietary restrictions and allergies they may have to make them feel right at home with us. XD

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Currently my family owns two huskies, a German Shepherd/Border Collie Mix, and a German Shepherd/Pit Mix! Beyond my own pups, I regularly dog sit for six amazing families and truly treat each pet like they’re part of my own pack. I’ve also had the joy of caring for horses, cows, goats, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable around all types of animals and their unique needs. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for! I’m starting a fully online master’s program in social work, which means I’ll have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a clients home, my top priority is making sure that your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved in their own space. I follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep their daily routine consistent to reduce stress. I also respect your home as if it was my own- cleaning up after myself (and your pet!), keeping things tidy and making sure your pets feels at easy while you’re gone. I always send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing and have peace of mind.

“Pazia has been great with my dog. He looks happy in the pictures she sends over. She made sure to have water for him and give him plenty of breaks as needed. I really appreciate so much.”

“Mira was great. Our little pup can be a shy walker, but Mira was very patient and it was great peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away for the day. Thank you!”

About: My Mom and I have a Multipoo, we adopted her last year and I just love her! I'm a proud Auntie to Gator (German Shepherd.) I've been a dog-lover since I was a child, I had a toy poodle for 17 years who passed away peacefully back in 2013. I have experience walking, playing, bathing, loving, and administering medication to dogs with special needs or at advanced age. I have experience caring for a well-fed chocolate lab while house sitting for a family friend for up to a week at a time, as well as a one year old mastif who had a special diet and needed his jowls wiped. I have also cared for my sister's rescue boston terrier who has experienced trauma. I'm a gentle person with a calm demeanour who loves to take pups for walks, and can command with a firm tone if needed. I can drop by most evenings and weekends, sometimes do overnight care if available. Currently I am going to grad school and I have a part-time schedule in the summer. I would prefer to only provide care for your animals in your home, I will always do my best to make it a safe environment and situation for all. I'm in grad school and also work in the schools, looking for a part-time job this summer, schedule will be more finalized in late June! I can't have other animals in my home and would not bring my dog to your place. However I take care of the spaces I am in and treat them with respect.

“Clair is great! She follows instructions, walked at Mo’s pace, and took care of him like I would. I booked longer because my dog(Mo) is a slow walker. She fed him, made sure his water bowls had fresh water and also gave him just supplements when needed, and treat. Will user her services in the future again!”

About: Animals are our passion, and we’ve built a life around caring for them. With over 20 years of combined experience caring for animals, we’ve looked after dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra love and attention. We also have extensive experience with reptiles, small animals, and pets with medical needs. Our home is full of love (and fur)! Our oldest dog is 13, and our youngest is nearly 1, so we’re familiar with a wide range of behaviors, energy levels, and care requirements. Melissa previously worked as a vet tech in training, so we’re also fully comfortable administering medications and understanding medical instructions. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, and my military background has helped shape me into someone who’s dependable, organized, and calm under pressure. I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job, aiming to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether your pet needs early-morning walks, medication, or just someone to stick to their routine—I’m here to help. We’re currently available any time, any day—including holidays and last-minute bookings. Our schedule is 100% flexible, so we can easily accommodate your pet’s unique routine. Need early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or overnight stays? We’ve got you covered. When caring for pets in your home or on their usual walking routes, safety and trust are always top priorities. We take the time to understand your pet’s environment, routines, and needs—whether it’s a quiet walk through the neighborhood or special instructions for your home while you’re away. We’re respectful of your space and treat your home with care and professionalism. You can count on us to follow your instructions closely, lock up securely, and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pets. During walks, we stick to routes your dog is familiar with (unless instructed otherwise) and always keep them leashed and under control. We’re alert to potential hazards like traffic, other dogs, or wildlife and will adjust as needed to keep your pet safe and calm. Communication is key—we’ll keep you updated and will always reach out if anything seems off or needs attention.

About: Much of my experience has been with my personal animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and have dogs my adult life. A year ago, my 15 year old passed and am not in a place for a new dog. I would love to share my love of dogs by caring for your furry family member. My summer schedule, I work from home every other week. The days I’m in the office, I have flexibility. Weekends can vary with my availability. I have a house and fenced yard. I firmly believe in keeping dogs on leash. I believe in taking a dog for a walk/run rather than go to a dog park.
