Dog Boarding in Balder, WA

About: I’m from the Seattle area and I’ve been with Rover since 2018. In 2020 I got married to Micaiah my husband. When we married we added an additional cat to the family that belonged to him. So we have 4 cats. Before Rover I volunteered at PetsMart with Purrfect pals. One day a week I would help with cleaning, playing, and as a team member I helped cats find a furrrever home. My first cat in my life was when I was 8. I have always enjoyed pets and nature. So I decided to combine walking and dogs. Walks in the park or just around the block. I’m looking to be your new regular dog walker. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pets!! I’m also a very detail and observant person so walks, sittings, and daycare services would also have a description of how your pet is doing. I chart any different behavior or eating habits along with health concerns. Updates with photos would be a priority. I'd also ask for the dog's vet info and emergency contacts. Have a paw-some day! My schedule is flexible. I usually find clients prefer weekday schedule M-F routine for walks. This is my full time job! My time is your time! I’m very safety cautious. I will keep updates and photos on the pet regularly during the day. I also request the pet’s medical information and their vet clinic. I’m pretty flexiable with scheduling. I try my best to fit in the schedule my clients want for their pets. Only days I need off for two hours are Sunday and Thursday. For security and safety I please ask for NO GUNS OR SUBSTANCES in house. I want to feel safe in the environment same goes for your pets. Thanks! I’m making this a full time job. M-F. I’m flexible with the scheduling. I’m open to picking up and dropping off clients dogs. Dogs will have one of us home with them. I have a fenced yard and five cats. I rescued two which are a mom and her kitten. My three cats are fun to spend my day with as well. I have a senior cat that needs daily meds and I try all I can to keep them happy and healthy.

“Elena was great! We could definitely tell that our puppy was happy with her and honestly he probably didn’t want to leave! She sent plenty of photos and videos while we were away and always kept us updated on how he was doing. We will definitely be using Elena again!”

“Crystal and Michael provided incredible care for our sweet Suzy, a 7 month old puppy who requires extra supervision. The whole family was involved with her care and they were attentive, patient, and loving. Crystal was responsive and friendly and clearly a knowledgeable dog lover and we felt confident that Suzy was in good hands. Suzy was happy, healthy, and well-looked after when we returned."”

“Mikayla was great! She kept me updated with photos of my dogs during their stay with her and let me know if there were any issues or concerns. She did great with my senior dog who has a lot of trauma in her past and problem solved any issues together. I would definitely recommend Mikayla!”

About: Hi, I’m Brian! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats around the house, and it’s a tradition I’ve proudly continued into adulthood. Sadly, both of my beloved pugs passed away over the last few years. Right now, it's just me and my cat, Vader, so I would absolutely love to welcome a canine (or another feline) presence back into my home! I work at WSU and live a quiet, peaceful life here in Colfax. Because my home is a kid-free environment and I spend a lot of my time here, your pet will get plenty of focused attention, companionship, and love. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets, so I am committed to treating yours like family - providing a safe, comfortable, and fun home away from home. I’d love to chat and see if I’m the perfect fit for your pet! I work at WSU so it's a short commute each day, allowing me to spend more time at home. My weekday evenings are pretty quiet. I sometimes go out on the weekends but would be quite happy staying home if there is pet-sitting to do. I have a large fenced yard. I have a large linoleum dining and kitchen area that can easily be blocked off where messes are easy to clean up. I'm totally fine sharing my bed and furniture with a pet. It's a quiet, kid-free house well suited for even the most nervous dogs.

“Adrienne W did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 dogs Kiki & Yoki she took them on walks ,sent photos and updates and gave Kiki her meds too”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. I had an emergency and she was able to take my 3 Basset Hounds within a couple of hours. They stayed with her for a week. My dogs were welcomed with open arms and treated exactly how they are at home- even getting to sleep in bed with her and snuggle time on the couch. She always responded to my messages within minutes, and sent me several updates, pictures, and videos of my babies every day. She also made sure to ask questions about habits, personalities, medications, feeding, etc. I was so scared to drop them off, but Samantha quickly eased my anxiety, making sure I knew they were okay and adjusting well. I cant recommend her enough. Ellie is hard to win over and within a couple of days I find out that she is following Samantha all over the house. A very impressive feat. She will be my first contact should I need to board my babies again. Thank you, Samantha for making a stressful situation the easiest it could have been, and for taking such good care of my girls.”

“Taylor was an amazing dog sitter!! It was my first time leaving my 9 month old puppy but with all the pictures and communication that was provided really helped me be at ease. The pictures really helped reassure he was having the best time and was adjusting well. My doggo was well exercised and had the best time hanging out with her pup Kovu! I would definitely rebook!”

Jazzlene B.

“We had a wonderful experience with Danelle who watched our dog for about a week while we were away. We received multiple updates and videos reassuring us our dog was doing well. We are so grateful for Danelle’s care of our pup :) thank you again!”

Sasha S.

“We have used Neila twice, and we have been so happy with our experience. She has a great space for the dogs to run and play. Her dogs are very friendly, and Neila has been great to communicate with. The dogs have come home tired and happy both times!”

“Jessica did a great job watching our 12 month old pup for us !! He’s a sweet boy with lots of energy. She reassured us right away that she would make sure everything would be fine & has a great fenced back yard. Chai had a great time playing with her pup. Jessica kept us updated with regular cute photos and videos ! Will definitely be back :)”

Alice M.

“Jamie is amazing! Her in-home set-up is so dog friendly and she clearly loves dogs. We were unfortunately caught-up in the Mexico travel cancellations so Charlie only got to stay 1 night, but we will be back. We appreciate Jamie’s flexibility and care. If you are lucky enough to get a date for your small dog or doodle, take it.💖”

“Justin & Amanda were wonderful with Dugan & I could tell he had a super fun time at their house! They are also very easy to work with, being quick to respond & sending updates & photos while we were away!”

Jessica K.

“Sierra and Sheldon were ideal dog sitters while I was away for a week on a trip. They asked all the right questions in preparation for caring for Luna, sent great updates during her stay, and were able to accommodate her staying an extra night when I had airline difficulties getting back. I will definitely try to use them again.”

Joe S.

“Jessica was very responsible, responsive and kind! She took care of our dog last minute. She responded quickly, and remained in communication the whole time. Our dog’s harness broke and she went out to buy her a new one! We really appreciated her help in taking care of our dog for us!”

Samantha N.

“Alexis did an amazing job watching my dog for me! She was super flexible and did a great job communicating with me as well as sending a ton of pictures while hosting my dog.”

Andrew L.

“Sophia was amazing! She asked a lot of questions and took plenty of notes to make sure my dogs could maintain as much of their home life as possible. She sent photos and feedback daily. She made my girls feel right at home in her home. She gave them all the cuddles and snuggles. She was very flexible about drop off and pick up.”

Cassie K.

“Mariya was great! She communicated with texts and pic's and info about my dog's stay. She even clipped her nails (which isn't easy to do)! She might be a little more than others, but you can know they're in good hands with Mariya.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all animals and treat them all as if they were my own! I currently do not work-so my schedule is wide open and flexible to take care of all of your pets needs. I am open to walking, dog sitting and more! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company of staying in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but like to go for walks, and in park adventures.
