WTWD, and Savannah particularly, were absolutely outstanding in teaching my new puppy (and myself!) to work well together and use practices to help my puppy be a great little 'citizen' at home and out and about. I couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

Savannah and her team are amazing! So professional and the best dog walkers in the Tacoma area! Can't recommend enough.

Love love loves all the walkers from here. Used them for years before we moved last year. Always able to accommodate last minute additional walks. Boarded our pup here several times. Always hated leaving her anywhere but knowing she was running around their house, cuddling on the couch with them, and being part of the family with multiple walks a day gave me such peace of mind. Which is the most important thing when leaving your fur baby. Even watched her over our honeymoon! Francie loves the Walk This Way team. read more

Absolutely thrilled we found this service! They offer a variety of services which is great and very convenient for our busy life. We LOVE THE staff and feel so relieved we found them. Pricing is great. Our dogs can be a handful when they are walked as one is a rescue. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the staff treats our pups. read more

Walk This Way Dogs is a life saver!! After having some difficulty finding a dog walker available during the day on Rover, we were lucky enough to learn about Walk This Way Dogs! We reached out to Savannah and she came over shortly after to do an initial meet and greet with our dog Wilson. With being out of the house of 12 hours for work it was peace of mind they were able to start scheduling Wilson's walks right away! They sent us pictures, updates, and the walk route after each walk, and they made sure to note if they noticed anything unusual on his walks so we're aware. They're amazingly accommodating when our schedule changes and their app/platform is super easy to use! I would and do highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dog walker! read more

Walk this way has saved my life a number of times! I consider my dogs my babies...would you leave your children with just anyone? Most likely not! Walk this way treats my dogs as if they were their own. Traveling is a constant thing for my husband and I but it makes it very difficult when you have two VERY high maintenance dogs at home. Walk This Way takes all the stress and anxiety away! They treat my dogs exactly as I do. They tend to their every need such as a special diet, daily medication, and cleaning their face wrinkles. Even when my flight is running late, I forgot to pick up their medication, or my travel plans have been extended they step in and cover seamlessly. My dogs are so comfortable when they are with them I swear they don't even realize I'm gone! I love Walk This Way!! read more

They've been so great. Savannah is great with my two dogs - they're older and quirky and not always easy to deal with...but they love their walks with her. Communication is always great and prompt and they're super reliable. Since my daughter was born I haven't been able to take my dogs out as much as I'd like and WTW Dogs are a godsend. They follow my instructions really well, too. I don't trust just anyone with my furbabies, but I have absolute trust in WTW! read more

I can't express how thankful I am for this stellar company. I had a different company no show my dogs when I was out of town and found Walk This Way Dogs last minute. When I explained my situation they were able to accommodate my dogs and did an amazing job with them. After meeting the owners and experiencing their dedication and love towards my animals I can't imagine trusting my fur babies to anyone else. Thank you Tom and Savannah!! read more

Highly recommend! They have great love for the dogs and are super reliable. Savannah had stayed in our home over several days and took care of our pups and left the home spotless. read more

Yelp has brought many amazing businesses to my attention. Walk this way dogs is another one of those. In a new city away from family and dog sitters, I needed someone trust worthy to come and let out my pup while my boyfriend and I both had a 12 hour days at work. A quick search on my favorite app lead me to Walk this way dogs - with an impressive 5 star rating. Tom was easy to get in touch with and set up a meet & great so he could meet my dog. Not only was tom professional and friendly, he came across as very trust worthy. It was an instant match, and I have used tom a few times to let out my pup. He always sends an update with his activity and his prices are more than fair. A huge plus is that he's very flexible and has even helped me out on short notice. I will continue to use walk this way dogs for as long as I live in the area, and have already recommended him to anyone looking for a reliable person to let out their pup. read more

Tom & Savannah from WTW dogs are simply THE BEST! We adopted our precious Stella two years ago and have been happy customers since then. My husband and I both work during the day so Stella gets daily 30 minute walks. In addition, we are not from the area and we travel home a lot to see family. I can't say enough about how much it means to leave our pup in the care of others worry-free. Stella gets so much love and incredible care from true "dog people." She gets way more excited when they come to the door than when I come home from work... that says something! We too made the mistake of using an app once. We will NEVER do that again. Leave your furry family with Walk This Way Dogs - you won't be disappointed. read more

Savannah and Tom are amazing. I moved to Tacoma a year ago and went through a few other sitters before finding them. I'm so glad I didn't give up hope. The careful attention they pay to both of our girls is a gift for a protective dog momma like me. They have gone out of their way to help us out a number of times, even coming over to spend time with our older dog when we thought she might not make it through a difficult health scare. While I wish we could be with our pets all the time, if we can't be with them all the time, it feels so good to know that they are in Tom and Savannah's care. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

This review is long overdue. Savannah and Tom are the absolute best! I met Savannah when I was walking my pup in North Tacoma. She was so friendly and sweet towards our dog and had such an upbeat personality. I had never really thought about a dog walker but she was so great we thought, why not? Setting up services was really easy and Tom and Savannah are beyond flexible with their schedules. My husband and I are both in the consulting field so often we have schedule changes or last minute cancellations due to deciding to work from home. They are always so understanding and really work around our schedule which we are beyond appreciative of. Our basset pup cannot get enough of Savannah and Tom and neither can we! read more

I've used Walk This Way for a couple months now for daily 30min walks with my pup. I work in Seattle and their service has been really helpful to ease any stress I might have about leaving my dog during the day. They are communicative, timely and loving for my pup. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Savannah and her team are absolutely terrific. We moved to Tacoma last year and after extensively researching which company to go with, we decided on Walk This Way Dogs. Their team has been providing regular pop-in visits throughout the year and have always been very helpful with accommodating our crazy schedules. Recently, we returned from a vacation which we used their overnight pet-sitting services for the first time. We're always a little concerned about leaving our group, as two of our dogs are over 15 years old, but I cannot overstate what a terrific job Antonio (our assigned pet-sitter) did while we were away. Not only did we receive several updates and pictures throughout the day, the dogs went on daily walks, he played with them in the backyard whenever he was at the house, gave them wonderful care and attention at night, and the house was immaculate when we returned. It makes a vacation (and a normal work week) SO much less stressful when you know your pets are getting the kind of terrific care they received from Antonio and Walk This Way Dogs! read more

We recently moved to Tacoma from CO and had to find a new at home dog sitter. Our dogs have never been boarded and we were very nervous about finding a new dog sitter since the one we used in Colorado was amazing. We interviewed several companies and read all the reviews. Tom was responsive to our texts and even came out last minute to walk the girls when I had to go out of town for a business meeting and my husband sprained his knee the day before I left so wouldn't be able to walk them. We used them several times since. The girls love it when they see Tom which is good to see because my lab mutt is nervous around new men. They send us pictures and "pup-dates" with photos which is great because we worry about them so much so its good to see they are happy:) We live on a sailboat in a marina so all the neighbors know the girls and had very good things to say about Tom when we came back from our last trip. If you are looking for a dog sitter/ dog walker in Tacoma, WA we would recommend them and I am sure Pennylane (cocker spaniel 10 years) and Edisto (Lab Mutt 13 years) would too! read more

See all

We've had Tom & Savannah walking our two pups daily for the past 6 months. The girls adore them, and we love how reliable & flexible they are. The updates & pictures they send are such a comfort. They've really helped our girls learn good leash skills, maintain their training, and grow into some well behaved doggies. We can't recommend them enough! read more

I'll be honest, I was scared to have people I didn't know come to our house and care for our dogs...but so loved these guys! I felt great after our consult and felt confident Savannah and her team would take good care of our pups. We loved knowing who was with the dogs, when, and for how long. We got updates and pictures to keep us at ease and in the loop. We are going to use them again for our next vacation away from our pups. read more

Savannah was great when she watched my cats. She sent me pictures and didn't just fill the bowl and leave. Savannah actually played with them as well as take great care of them. read more

We have been using walk this way for over a year for our two dogs and absolutely love them. Tom and Savannah are incredibly reliable, flexible and treat our dogs like their own. It's such a relief to know that not only are your dogs being walked they are having the time of their lives with people you trust. read more

I had a really strange set of interactions with Tom and Savannah. The good part was that they showed up when they said they would and we almost always got photos. The bad came in two ways. The first was when I hadn't heard from them while traveling. I called to make sure they had gotten in ok. While I was talking with Tom I heard Savannah yelling, "I already left her a message!" Well, I didn't get one yet, but after she yelled twice I had to tell Tom that I could hear her yelling. The second time (and the reason we stopped using them) was that we had asked them to walk the dogs one day, but the night before our heater broke and we realized my husband would be home all day. I left a message that evening. The next day, Tom told me that they would still charge me. This is different from other places {Rover, Zoo Crew, etc) but I accepted it. I told him he didn't need to come. Instead, while I was teaching, I got many text messages saying they were trying to get in and couldn't find the key! I had to wait until break to find out just what the heck happened. It was a tense conversation. So, I contemplated not writing a review because I'd rather leave good ones, but we didn't have a good experience. read more

I am SO glad to have found Tom and Savannah of Walk This Way Dogs! My partner and I just moved from Boston this summer and were anxious about finding pet care since we were spoiled back home. But I couldn't be happier with the care our dogs (and now our cat too!) have gotten from Walk This Way! We have one dog-reactive pup and another that is anxious around new people but Tom has won them both over and has been so patient with their less-than-desirable behaviors. We get daily updates and photos, whether it's during a neighborhood walk or an overnight, and Tom and Savannah both go above and beyond - including taking out the recycling on trash day (we didn't even ask)! I can't thank them enough for their thorough attention and communication. We are thrilled with Walk This Way Dogs! read more

Walk this Way are amazing! Tom and Savannah are the best dog people. First, they make it super easy to schedule, pay and use their services via mobile and online. I personally appreciate that there is a portal that sends me updates while a work on how their walks go and allow me to communicate outside of texting. They give updates that are meaningful while you are away at work or even on vacation. Our dog is happier and well-adjusted thanks to their help. I use their puppy visits and their overnight stays and each time I am blown away with how well my dog is taken care. I truly recommend these great people to care for your puppy/dog. read more

We recently got a lab and had been researching puppy training. . .We stumbled upon Walk this way dogs and boy am I glad we did. Not only have both Savannah and Tom been great with our little guy, he has learned wonderful leash habits in addition to commands. They are both very polite and trustworthy. Their service is superior. If you are looking for dog walker, pet sitter etc. . .your search stops here! read more

Savannah took care of our dog Tyke while we were away for the weekend. In addition to taking excellent care of the dog, she kept us well informed and was very flexible. Due to separation anxiety, Tyke was having lots of tummy trouble. Savannah definitely went the extra mile by giving us more updates, and spending extra time with tyke to make him more comfortable. Not to mention all the extra clean-up she had to endure. We are very satisfied customers and will definitely be hiring Walk This Way Dogs again. read more

We have used Walk This Way Dogs for the last 7 months since one of our dogs was thrown out of doggie day care for bad behavior. This is the best company. They were wonderful with my two collies and frequently sent pictures of their walks. I received daily updates on where they walked and whether the dogs had done their business. They went above and beyond on taking care of the dogs to the point that a couple of times one of my dogs was sick and they called me, let me know, and cleaned it up as well as they could. The dogs were always happy to see them. There were a few times I was stuck out of town and had to ask for an emergency dog walk. They were always available and were gracious about last minute requests. I'm moving to Seattle and would be far happier if I could pack them up and take them with me. They are great. I couldn't imagine a better dog walking company. I highly recommend them. read more

Savannah and Tom are absolute life savers! My husband and I are very anxious pet parents because our babies are so old and have special needs. Tom and Savannah spoil them and take such good care of them. Not only do they do our midday walks while we are at work, they kept them in their home for 4 nights while we were out of town. We got photo updates daily, and we could tell by their behavior when we got back that they had been SPOILED rotten while we were gone. We are so fortunate to have found these two. read more

We so appreciate the care and attention given by Savannah and Tom to our dogs and cats when they house sit for us! We are so happy we found Walk This Way Dogs. Our dogs LOVE them and that says A LOT (dogs are excellent judges of character!!) Would definitely recommend Walk This Way read more

I was so lucky to find these dog walkers. These folks are warm, kind, and patient with my dogs. One of my dogs was abused in a former home and takes a while not to be afraid of new people, especially women. They are very caring to her and give her the time she needs. read more

Walk This Way has been walking our rescue puppy ever since we adopted him a few months ago. They take great care of him while we're at work and have even helped him come out of his shell. They're super accommodating to our schedule and take him on fun adventures all the time. We highly recommend Tom and Savannah! read more

Tom and Savannah are the absolute best. I used to be a dog walker, so I have high expectations for this service...and Walk This Way is everything that I could want in dog walkers. They are reliable, affordable, and knowledgable, but even better, they genuinely care about our dogs. They were so kind when our older dog passed away and gave our other dog lots of affection...and they are wonderful with our new puppy! I love getting the updates every time they walk--the photos are always fun and it's great knowing how my dogs are doing while we are at work. The icing on the cake is that both Tom and Savannah are truly nice people. It's a pleasure working with them! read more

Both Tom and Savannah have been taking care of my mom's dog for many months now. Callie and my mom are happier and healthier for all the care they have received. Callie was having accidents in the apartment and their services have helped tremendously! Savannah has come up with different scheduling ideas, feeding tips and has even taken my mom out with them for enjoyment of the day. I must say this services has been very friendly, professional and super accommodating since day one! read more
