“Kirsten & Bear & co. have been great pals for Alora! She barely knows I'm dropping her off ? she's always a happy girl when she comes home, and we're looking forward to more stays in the near future.”


“Rollo is so happy to get there and from time to time he doesn't even want to leave the place. He made quite a few paw-friends there and they are greeting each other when we pick him up. He is really tired at the end of the day which makes our nights more peaceful. Definitely we'll ask Tamar again to take care of Rollo.”

About: Thank you for viewing my profile. Please read it in its entirety before sending a boarding request, as a lot of your questions can be answered in the text. The two questions i get the most are am I home all day with the dogs and how many dogs do you watch at one time? I am retired so except for running errands, etc, your dog(s) will be supervised at all times.I DO watch dogs from different households at the same time, having had as many as 8 Rover dogs at once If this is a concern I invite you to come down and meet us, to see how mellow and manageable it is, and how happy the dogs are to be in the company of other dogs. I never watch a dog without meeting it first so this ensures that everyone gets along and it's a good fit. My mom runs a no-kill animal shelter in Florida so I guess you could say it's in my blood. I currently have 2 dogs (the last dog i adopted was from an elderly Rover client who could no longer take care of him) but i've had as many as 4 at one time. Always small dogs, which is what I'm most comfortable with. I've adopted, loved and cared for dogs through all their stages of life, in "sickness and in health", so I'm quite aware of the quirkiness that comes with a dog that has a history. At the moment I’m not boarding puppies because my older dogs can’t handle all the high energy of the youngsters. Nothing brings me more joy than watching these little dogs come out of their shell during the stay. Their tail going from tucked, unsure, "what am I doing here", to full wag! Many owners have told me that when they get to the top of my hill their dog starts getting excited, they know they're coming to my house and they are happy about it. They march right up my steps with zero hesitation. They might not sleep with us on day one, but they almost always find their way into the bed by the time they leave. My goal is to have them feel like one of the pack, loved and secure, safe and happy. I recently retired after 40+ years in the hospitality industry so I will be home with your dog(s) day and night. There's nothing i love more than being in the company of dogs, so watching them is my passion. I will treat your dog(s) like my own. I live in the Arroyo's, a private beach neighborhood in Arbor Heights, West Seattle. I have a gate on the front door so the dogs can't run out if the door opens, though there's hardly any traffic where I live. I have a fully fenced in backyard, perfect for potty breaks and sunbathing. Your dog will never be left unattended in the yard .Inside I have dog beds throughout the house that move with the sunspot. I have cameras to watch the dogs when i'm not home (spoiler alert, they sleep), and WE HAVE AC!

“Julia and Yoda are the BEST! I was really worried about Buster on his first day without me. And he had a blast with his new friends. Julia is so flexible with time and as long as you tell her what's going on she is happy to go with the flow!”

“Uno had such a fun time with Antonio and his family. He took good care of my pup. Uno absolutely adores their dog Yoshi so it’s a bonus that he gets to have another dog to play with. If Uno could talk, he’d definitely tell me to rebook.”


“We could not be more grateful for Gregg! He's taken such excellent care of our puppy. He is super responsive, flexible, and caring. Pickles gets so excited once he realizes we are headed to Gregg's house for puppy daycare! Thank you, Gregg, for being a monumental part of his early development.”


“Elle was amazing with your husky! He has separation anxiety and does not have a lot of exposure with boarding. She was great with checking in with us, updating us on how he was doing, and making his feel at home. She was thoughtful and understanding with our schedule and how to maximize our dog's success with overnight stays. She helped us feel confident and comfortable leaving our pup for our out-of-town trip. I can not recommend Elle enough. She is incredible!!”



“My dogs love going to Sean's for doggy daycare! They always come home happy and tired. I appreciate Sean's quick communication, fun photos, and responsible care of my precious boys.”


About: At Growlerz, we look to help promote well-balanced dogs and a peaceful pack. All employees are well versed in canine behavior and body language, and trained in Pet First Aid and CPR. Our yard has 8' fences and entries are double gated. The 7000+ square foot turfed yard is sanitized regularly. All dogs will have a required "down time" from 10-11 AM to make sure all get rest.

“Thais treated Dublin like a family member. He came home happy and tired after his day with her. She provides great updates and asked questions helpful to adapt to his routine which is so appreciated with a puppy. Definitely recommend.”


“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”


“Jeremy was great with Auggie!”


About: I grew up with dogs, I have been a dog parent to two sweet puppies in my adult life, and I have fostered many sweet puppies over the years. To me, they're all sweet puppies, regardless of their ages. My 5-year old dog Edgar loves to hang with other dogs - he's never met a person or dog he didn't like. When your dog visits us, they become one of the pack, enjoying all the things that make this house a home. I work from home in a very flexible job, so I have the time to look after your dog's unique needs. My goal is for your dogs to be as comfortable here as they are in your own home. They are welcome on furniture and have easy access to come in and out as they please. There is a big fenced in back yard to play in. If your dog needs a home away from home, we've got you covered! You are the expert on your dog's unique needs, and I will follow your lead to provide your dogs with the care they need. I have a spacious, fully fenced-in back yard, and the dogs have free reign to visit the yard as much as they like each day. Dogs will also have free reign inside the house. If your dog's safe place is a crate, I'm happy to work with that. I have a crate I can set up for them, or you can bring your own. There are lots of cozy dog beds, sofas, blankets, and toys.

About: I am a student dedicated to providing your pet with exceptional care and to have a fun time! I am very patient, compassionate, and loving with any pet. I am always looking for an adventure whether it’s outdoor or indoors. I have owned dogs my whole life and I currently have an English Cocker Spaniel. I have dog sat on several occasions, as well as walked dogs for friends and family. I can train dogs basic skills such as sitting, responding to their name, and rolling over. I am also an athlete, so if you would prefer I take your dog for a run or throw a ball for them, I am able to do so! I will be taking any customer modifications seriously. I am very active, so I regularly go for walks, runs, and hikes where I will take dogs with me. I also enjoy downtime to read a book or watch a movie in the evening while cuddled up to a furry friend. I have two courses for dental school that occupy me several hours a week but other than that I spend a lot of time caring for your furry friends. I am very flexible with caring for dogs. Pets are allowed on furniture in my home but if a client asks to keep them off for training purposes, I have no problem abiding by their house rules. I am good at reading dogs emotions and am fully capable of walking and/or pet sitting more reactive dogs. I grew up with very affectionate dogs so I love cuddles and kisses from furry friends!

The space is clean, well maintained with a staff that is friendly and experienced with many long-term team members. Most days you will also find one or both of the owners working to be sure your dog has a fun and safe experience. It’s more than just a daycare; it’s an awesome community for both pets and their humans.”

Alejandra & Raul G.Star Sitter
“I had my cat Luna stay with Alejandra and her husband for 3 weeks, and it was a huge reassurance to know she was being taken good care of. They provided constant updates and clearly put in the effort to make her feel at home. It's worth noting that Luna is extremely shy, so at first she wasn't exactly thrilled to stay at a new place. But by the time I was back, she was acting like she owned the place! They also have a catio/covered outdoor space, and a fenced backyard. So their home is a very accommodating place for any type of pet. 11/10”
