A safe and fun haven for your dog
Pet care experience
PLEASE READ MY PROFILE TILL THE END TO GET A GOOD IDEA OF YOUR POTENTIAL EXPERIENCE. Grew up volunteering at several pounds. Love dogs. Treat them like family. Offer love, care but also affectionate discipline. Won’t accept requests unless I am completely sure of being able to provide the best care needed. I have raised my golden retriever Duke since he was a puppy and he has grown up to be a charming, friendly and strong young dog. I commit to providing the best time ever for your little ( or not ) friend. I understand the responsibility associated with taking on a sitting job and will always prioritize the well being of your dog.

Excellent as always
Our lab, Jesse, had his first daycare date with Augustine and Mallory to test out fit...Jesse got an "A" but more importantly, Augustine and Mallory totally nailed it! They clearly like dogs and gave us as well as Jesse a first-rate experience. They are instantly accessible and communicate well and often with updates, videos and pics. Couldn't be better! We feel fortunate to have identified such a skilled and professional team to care for our silly lab when we're away.
I am super happy with the care Augustine gave to my two dogs I have used at least six different Rover dog sitters, and while all were good, Augustine is far and away the best. He made sure my dogs got plenty of exercise. My dogs ate well with him (which is not always the case at sitter homes), and my dogs returned home very happy. I will definitely book with Augustine again.
Wow. We immediately noticed that our pup Kuma felt right at home with Augustine and Mallory. They took great care of her and sent lots and lots of photos and vids ? Augustine is simply the best!

Super clean apartment that is power vacuumed and mopped daily. Constant access to fresh drinking water. My apartment has baby gates and so dogs can be separately fed if needed. Plenty of dog beds for them to sleep. Lots of toys, lots of treats and lots of hugs :) Important: I do not accept tips. I have a very rewarding full time job. Rover just helps me stay close to my passion for animal care. Please use my tip to pay your waitstaff or delivery service providers instead. Update: Starting June 2023, 10 % of all monthly revenue will be donated to the Seattle Humane Society. Receipts can be provided to any client that desires to verify.

Information Augustine C. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has had a history of being aggressive or being violent towards other dogs, I would be unable to host them. My golden Duke loves everyone with all his heart but that’s also why he gets extremely upset if another dog were to behave aggressively towards him. I take pride in being able to create a safe environment for all the dogs that I host and your transparency is appreciated in helping me continue doing that. Thanks :)
A typical day
Totally suited to what your dog likes. We could do energetic playtime including fetch, tug of war, trick training etc. Or we could have a mellow day with casual walks along the gorgeous downtown park and warm snuggles inside the apartment.

Availability
Work full time from home. Here is how a usual day pans out : 1. One hour long morning walk with the dogs from 7 AM to 8 AM. This is split half and half between a leashed walk along the periphery of either downtown Bellevue park/ Wildwood park. and 30 min off leash games like fetch, tug of war or chase inside a completely fenced dog area of the park. This session can be preceded with breakfast if your dog eats early during the day. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not comfortable with off leash sessions, I will keep your dog on leash throughout, even inside the fenced area. 2. Socialization session at 12 noon. This is a one hour interval where I take the dogs to the wildwood park to interact with other dogs. Several dogs often meet and interact with each other inside the fenced dog park at wildwood. Your dogs will have a chance to partake in these sessions. All dogs that join this session are well trained and risk free. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are uncomfortable with socializing sessions, we will not partake and instead go on a longer walk along the periphery of the park. 5 PM: Off leash evening playtime at the wildwood park fenced area. Super wide open area, that is heavily barricaded from all sides. Dogs can run around with zero flight risk. This continues for about 45 min. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not comfortable with off leash sessions, I will keep your dog on leash throughout. 9:30 PM : Final bathroom break and a quick 15 min walk to pace us down for the night. This schedule is super flexible and walk times can be changed based on specific needs. Also, if your dog needs to go to the bathroom between these times, there’s a small garden right outside my apartment where they can relieve themselves.
