Toshi

Tacoma, WA

  Breed: Shiba Inu

  Weight: 15 lbs

  Age: Puppy (less than 1 year old)

  Gender: Female

My name is Ciarra and I have a rescue pup from South Korea named Toshiko (Toshi). She is about 5 months old and is truly a character. She mostly keeps to herself but does not say no to snuffle mats and bully chews. She is a cat in a dog’s body. She people watches from the window and gives you the side eye when you try and pet her. She enjoys going on walks which mostly consists of her sniffing anything and everything around her. Toshi is comfortable sleeping on her crate with the door open and is potty trained.

Hello! We have two dogs and live in the North End of Tacoma with our 5 year old son. Ullr is a Malamute Husky and Golden Retriever. He is very smart. A bit of an alpha dog but so sweet. We have another dog named Molly. She is a purebred Golden Retriever. She is the sweetest dog in the world, maybe a little too sweet because she REALLY loves everyone. They are both good dogs and love attention. We travel often and usually have our neighbors watch our dogs but they would have so much more fun getting to have a sleep over with some new friends. They get a long with all dogs.

Hi, I’m Kevin. I live with my wife Emily and 2 dogs, Samwise and Sadie. I work from home (and Emily usually does, too) so if we’re pet sitting for you we’ll always be around for them. We have a good sized fully fenced yard for the dogs to run around in. We like to go hiking, camping, and rock climbing, and are looking for someone to watch our dogs when we can’t bring them, and would love to have your dogs here when you can’t bring them on your trips.
