Dog Boarding in Ballard, Seattle, WA

“Anna and Adam were excellent! They did a great job taking care of Baker. They sent a lot of pictures and he clearly had a great time with them.”

“Michael was an amazing sitter for my dog and communicator for me!! We had a last minute schedule change and were traveling to Seattle unexpectedly. Michael was so helpful and accommodating to make this work with less notice than usual! He was prompt and communicative sending me pictures of Sox updates along the way. His dog Ellie was very chill and seemed to get along with Sox great. I definitely would (and will!) work with Michael again!”

“Our Mini Schnauzer Carl had a wonderful time again with Jessica and Mochi. We receive multiple updates and photos per day. Carl got lots of walks and play time. Timeliness and detail of communication is always perfect. Thanks so much!”

“Matt was a wonderful dogsitter for my pug Kimchi. He was very open and communicative during the entire process and even took extra time to practice some obedience exercises with my dog, something she can really struggle with. We highly recommend Matt for any dogsitting!”

Mitch R.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our pup, Rufus, than Dawnula. She sent us daily updates, took our dog to the park and handled walking him (he’s a puller) with ease. I honestly think Rufus was disappointed for me to pick him up! What pet owner could ask for more?”

Sarah M.

“Yoshimi had a great time with Cheryl. She was very nice, sent pictures, was very knowledgeable about animals. I would definitely ask her to board him again.”

Zachary F.

“If we could leave David and Nancy a 10 star review, we would. They were absolutely stellar and so accommodating to take our pup last minute. David and Nancy took our pup on so many walks, kept us up to date with adorable photos, and really treated her as if she was their own. As an added bonus, our dog got along great with theirs! We will happily book with them again!”

“Megan was great with my senior dog and so flexible with our chaotic schedules. She has two sweet dogs who got along great with mine and I knew Whiskey Pete was in great hands!”

Leila M.

“Lauren was amazing, and will absolutely use her again to watch my pup. She was great at communicating and sent lots of great photos. My dog loved her dog, and I think is coming home a happy and tired doggie!”

Kelly M.

“We had a great experience with Stacy keeping our dog for us over a long weekend. Our 70-lb 6 yr old girl has some separation anxiety but she seemed to adjust quickly. We got regular reports and pics annd our girl was clearly happy with the amount of walks and even got a run in! Stacy was able to manage all her quirks easily, and we will be happy to use Stacy again and recommend her to others.”

Leigh A.

“Zorian takes such great care of our senior rescue dog Tux, who has medical and behavioral considerations. Great communication, updates, and we know Tux is always in great hands during his stays with Zorian.”

Veronica M.

“Delaney and Macaroni were wonderful! Laney was exceptional at communicating with me and it was so easy to get updates, discuss plans, and I appreciated her flexibility! I also felt so comfortable after meeting her and Macaroni in advance of our trip, she is so compassionate and supportive. My dog had a great time playing and going to parks while we were away, I think Laney took such good care of her. I would recommend Delaney to anyone and felt will definitely reach out in the future for other boarding opportunities.”

Amanda H.

“We had a wonderful experience! Omid was kind, caring and kept us updated with photos! Him and his partner even knitted a handmade bandanna for Tungsten 😭❤️ We appreciate Omid so much and would love to have him sit Tungsten again!”

About: I'm an animal lover who has owned and boarded dogs, from high-energy pups to seniors requiring special attention. I have 20+ years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and needs. My pet-friendly home on a dead-end street features a HUGE, fenced-in yard (see pics) for plenty of secure playtime and potty breaks, as well as nearby trails for walks. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable 'home away from home' stay for your dog, ensuring they feel like family while you're away and offering you peace of mind. I am passionate about creating an environment where your dog can thrive and enjoy their vacation as much as you do! I work from home, so your dog's routine will closely follow their schedule from home. A typical day includes, early morning yard access and neighborhood walks, feeding times per your instructions, plenty of playtime, belly rubs, and cuddle sessions. Why Choose My Home? I have a huge, fenced-in yard and located on a quiet dead-end street with access to nearby walking trails. Your dog(s) will enjoy peaceful, enriching adventures and exercise away from heavy traffic. There are no other pets or children in the home, and I offer exclusive pet sitting for an additional fee. Otherwise, no more than 3 dogs at a time. My experience has taught me how to read dog body language and handle different personalities, ensuring all interactions are positive and stress-free. I am comfortable and skilled in administering medications (pills/oral liquids) according to your specific instructions (*with the exception of injections). Dogs are allowed to roam the house freely (even on my bed, if you're ok with it) and relax comfortably in dog-friendly spaces—no kennels or crates unless requested by you!

“Callie is wonderful! She was very responsive and communicative, and our dog Gilbert had a terrific weekend in her care. We'll definitely book with her again. Thank you, Callie.”

“Aron was incredibly responsive, friendly, and caring for Pepper! Lots of great photos made us feel like Pepper was in great hands while we were away.”

“Susan did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Oakley while I was on vacation. From the start, she asked thoughtful questions to really get to know Oakley’s routine and personality, which made me feel so much more at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, and I loved seeing Oakley so relaxed and happy while I was away. When I picked him up, it was clear he felt completely at home with her. Susan is caring, reliable, and truly treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“Celine Dion and I are new to Seattle and moved into the Ballard area, so we’ve had to find a new sitter and oh my gosh, I’m so happy and grateful to have found Adar and Ryan on my first booking. If they’ll have her, we’ll always go back to them…they were such sweet people and my poor pup, who’s life has been upended with the move at 13 years old, absolutely loved them the second she met them. I felt so comfortable with her being there while I was away, I got photos everyday (which I just like because I miss my baby) as well as genuine updates. Thank you guys so much for everything, you have no idea how happy it makes me to know she’s being loved when I’m gone.”
