Dog Walking in West End, Tacoma

“Romy has been amazing! We just started using Rover, and have hired her for multiple visits. She responds quickly, and has even been available on short notice. We appreciate the photo and video updates and we always come home to a happy and well cared for pup!”

About: I've spent a lot of time around furry companions throughout my life, now with an old cavachon and a cavapoochon puppy. Life is never boring when they're around and I'm always welcoming new pups! My availability is wide open, so whatever schedule fits your needs is one that I can probably make work as well. Just let me know! My own pups enjoy daily walks, plenty of outside play time, and lots of rewards for each good behavior. I think every pet deserves consistent enrichment and rewards!

“Elysia was so awesome ! Our pup can be a handful but she handled him with love and really came through on some last minutes walks :) Elysia has a true compassion for dogs and was very knowledgeable about ways to calm our dog and also have a great time on walks with him. He was a tired and happy puppy when he returned home . Thank you !!”

“Nathan was great with our dogs and accommodated a late request for dog coverage without a proper introduction. He communicated leading up to and during visits, giving updates when our oldest dog was a bit off after recovering. Super appreciative and our old man pups were well taken care!”

“Our Goose loves Laura and we are super happy to have her as a resource as well (for now and the future!) She’s flexible, chill & friendly and responds very quickly to any messages. We truly appreciate her :)”

“Kayla is the best! She is reliable, trustworthy, and so nice. She has made a big difference in my dogs day, picking him up for a walk, letting him out, and throwing his ball. I can always tell he is so happy to see her from the pictures and I don’t have to worry about him being alone for my whole work day. Bonus- she takes the best photos of my dog when she walks him! Thank you Kayla ❤️”

“Alyssa is great! She communicates well, is punctual and seems to make great use of time with my Oakley. And based on the great pics she takes, it looks like he really likes her! I will definitely continue to use her walking services.”

“Mollie's been walking my two dogs twice a week for a couple of weeks now, and it's been great! She was very thoughtful in the initial meeting and follow up, making sure she knew what the discipline and activity goals are for each of them. The girls are calmer when I get home at night and it's a lot of peace of mind knowing how well they're taken care of by her. Highly recommend.”

Karrin L.

“Bri is absolutely amazing!!! She take wonderful care of my little girl. Shakti loves her walks with Bri. I have so much peace of mind knowing Shakti is in great hands. She is a rescue & can be high energy & reactive. Bri handles her with grace & expertise. Can't recommend her enough.”

Ilana M.

“Kallie went above and beyond with her services. She offered a complimentary meet up before walking Penelope. While walking her, she left photos and a great write up that brightened my day. In time, and great communication. Would definitely recommend Kallie!”

About: Hi there! :) I’m passionate about taking care of animals and always make sure they feel comfortable when they’re with me. I've helped raise a labradoodle and terrier for over five years. I’ve been around dogs and puppies most of my life so I’m completely comfortable with them, large or small. I’ve also taken care of dogs with bigger personalities and also much more tame ones. I’m extremely patient around any dog and always go out of my way to make them feel comfortable. I work full-time and am mostly remote. My schedule is also very flexible. I finish work on the weekdays at 4pm, and my WFH schedule allows me to watch your furry pal during/after my shift. I know that it can be tough to leave your pup overnight or under someone else’s care so I always communicate with my clients updates or photos of their pups. My biggest priority is also to make sure your pup is comfortable with me. They’re welcome to relax on my couch or bed if they’re staying at my home. I’m available anytime before or during a booking for any questions you may have!

About: I've taken care of my family's pets, as well as my own for a few years. I have been on Rover since March 2022, and I have experience caring for cats and dogs, together and individually. I have most days available to care for your pets! I have a part time job as well, only a couple days out of the week. Definitely let me know if your pet can't be left alone for long periods of time. I will also disclose any scheduling concerns that arise! I am a kind and caring person, I will give your pet lots of care and attention :) If there is anything in particular I should know about your pet, please let me know so I can care as best as I can!

About: HUGE animal lover!! I have had immense experience with dogs of all sorts over the years. Previously I have worked at a doggy daycare where I spent 6-12 hours a day with them! I worked with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes everyday. It was a fun job that I thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with animals all day 😃 This is where I began to house sit dogs. Since our clients already felt comfortable with us watching them at the daycare I would often house sit their dogs on the weekends as well. I currently volunteer at the humane society where I walk dogs every week(: This has given me so much experience working with dogs that have all kinds of different backgrounds. It’s taught me what to expect out of any situation that arises and also working in high stress environments. I have two little fur babies myself but would LOVE to have a chance to watch you’re little ones while you’re away! I do school online and am actually between jobs now because I’m graduating soon and won’t need to work at my school anymore. I’m hopefully looking for something that is in person and just during the day with a break sometime in between. Something that will allow me to house sit your dogs/check in on them during the day if need be (: currently I can watch your dog morning time and evening time with a check in afternoon, but am totally flexible depending on whatever your schedule or pets needs are. 😃 I will treat & care for your pet as if they were my own. If you have any questions about my experience or fees please do not hesitate to ask! I Love all kinds of animals and would love to have the chance to take care of yours! I promise to send tons of pictures/ videos and regularly give check ups as well if need be. Thank you!!! I work at my school as well as do school online but since I’m graduating this month, I plan on finding work elsewhere. During the time I am with your pup I’d occasionally be doing school work/spending time with them (playing, walking, ect). The afternoons I would be gone for a few hours and can give a lot more of my stone during the evening. Of course I can always check in during the day frequently and like I said, am super flexible on whatever your pets needs are!! 😃🐶 I will make sure your dog is well looked after and provide meals as needed. If you’e dog requires medication I can also provide this in addition to crating your dog if needed. I’m currently working part time so I’d be able to stay over or drop when you need me to and can adjust accordingly. I am in school so sometimes my schedule will vary but I’d love to communicate with you and come up with a routine if need be (: I always ensure that your pet will be well taken care of. I love playing with dogs whether that’s fetch or just going for a stroll down to the park. I will ensure that they are safely looked after and kept away from any potential dangers while I’m watching them. I care a lot about pets having a healthy routine of exercise, food and sleep. I will do my absolute best to make sure your furry one is in a trustworthy environment whether I’m staying at your house or stopping by for a walk.

About: I’ve owned and been around animals since I was a child! I’ve owned elderly dogs and puppies! I can handle rambunctious or a couch potato! I would love to be apart of your furry friend’s life! I have 3 cats of my own and I care for them daily! I go to school in the morning and work in the afternoon but I have time on weekends and through out the day to fit your needs! I live in a apartment at the moment and have 3 cats so I wouldn’t have room to bring an animal to my home but in a clients home I respect their personal space and treat them and their animals with respect.

About: My name is Sara Bailly and I live in a Craftsman house with a large yard in the North End of Tacoma. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old who both love dogs. I work part-time on weekends, but my husband is home when I'm away. With two kids running around I prefer dogs that are not food and toy possessive. I am careful to watch that they are gentle with dogs, but dogs need to be kid friendly. We have a tall fence and a doggie door with access to the back porch. We generally keep dogs indoors when we are out to minimize barking for our neighbors. If your dog is crate trained that is a plus. Clyde our English Setter was a very high energy boy, but is slowing down now that he is 14. He loves having doggie friends come over to stay. He is great with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. He is not food or toy possessive. I love dogs and have been working with them for many years. I was a veterinary technician for 3 years, so I am comfortable and capable of administering all types of medication. I have a lot of experience with training dogs too, so if you're working on something with your pup I can continue that while you are away. About this sitter: I specialize in high energy dogs, and would love to watch your dog. Does your dog have separation anxiety? Dogs with separation anxiety will benefit from plenty of exercise, love, and attention while you're gone. A tired dog is a happy dog! I cannot stay with your dog as I have a new baby, but if you live in the North End of Tacoma I am able to take your dog out on a walk twice a day. I can also bring in the mail, pick up poo, and water while you are away. Are you working on training with your dog? Well I can keep it up while you’re away. Just let me know what you’re working on and what techniques you are using and I’ll work with your dog. Does your dog have special needs like ear drops, oral medication, or teeth brushing? Having been a veterinary technician for 3 years I am very comfortable and capable with many special needs. I have worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years and have spent many years caring for my own dogs as well as family and friend's pets. Why I love dog sitting I have always loved all animals, but especially dogs. In high school I volunteered at the local veterinary clinic, and was quickly hired on. I worked there for two years before I left to go to culinary school. I have always had a dog since I was eighteen ( we had dogs when I was a kid too), and all of them have been rescues. I'm the lady who keeps a leash and treats in my car in case I see a stray. I have found forever homes for many abandoned dogs, and brought others home safely to their owners. My current pride and joy is my dog Clyde. He is an English Field Setter and a total goofball. About my yard We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. When the weather is warmer we fill up the kiddie pool for any water loving dogs out there. We also have a dog run along the side of the house with an even higher fence. It's about 300sq. ft. and is where the dogs stay while I am away. There is access to the house from the dog run through a doggie door and plenty of space to run. My experience administering medication Yes, being a veterinary technician for years, I am comfortable with administering all types of medication. I work during the day on Wednesday and Thursday, but have a flexible schedule. I also work in the evenings on Fridays and Saturday. I am home except for errands and school drop-off/pick-up the rest of the week. I have a fenced backyard and a doggie door leading to the back porch. We are able to close the door to keep dogs from going out at night or when we are away.

“Lydia has been a wonderful addition to my dog walking team. She’s responsive to messages, flexible with individual needs, and dependable with care. She sends quality pictures and updates so I know how the walks went and how my pups are doing during her care. If she has questions or concerns during her time with the dogs she addresses them promptly and respectfully. I can trust no issue or concern will go unnoticed or unreported. I appreciate having Lydia as a trusted member of my team and can count on my dogs being well cared for and loved on while I am away.”
