Hakuna Machata
It Means No Worries When You're Away from Home
Based in Tacoma, Washington. Providing care to animals near & far.
Missing out on life because you're struggling to find trustworthy pet care? We're here for you.
During our pet sitting and dog walking visits we appreciate the opportunity to learn from each of the animals we meet and find great joy in being able to provide quality care to them all no matter how big or small, but especially to the more difficult pets with quirks such as fearfulness, reactivity, very specific husbandry needs, etc.
Having grown up with a fearful and reactive dog myself, I understand firsthand how important it can be to have a knowledgeable pet care professional on your team to be there for the ones you love when you're unable to be there yourself.
