Dog Boarding Ballard

“Susan was great. Very communicative and took great care of Jupiter. Would highly recommend anyone looking for a caring, easy going sitter. She made it feel so seamless it felt like Jupiter was going to a family members house for a sleepover.”

“Anna was really great and communicative, both in answering our questions and sharing requirements before the trip, and then sharing updates and asking any questions she had while we were away. The dogs came home very happy and relaxed, which with separation anxiety is a HUGE win. We would love to leave the dogs with Anna again if the opportunity arises!”

“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”

Ruby N.

“This was our first boarding with Sofia, and our dog, Eggsy, had an amazing time. It was easy to schedule the boarding. Communication was fantastic throughout Eggsy’s stay and we really appreciated all of the pictures. We will definitely be boarding again in the future. Thanks again Sofia!”

Brian D.

“Cathleen took excellent care of our dog. Pictures and updates multiple times a day. Excellent fast easy communication. Cathleen was also so helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed. Will use again!!”

Jennifer K.

“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”

Megan J.

“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

Mara C.

“Melissa was great — super communicative, sent pics and updates the whole time, asked all the right questions, and gave my dog genuine, attentive care. Highly recommend”

Mallory M.

“I don’t think they left anything out! To sum it up: Great care Plenty of cuddles Lots of photo updates Good communication City adventures every day All with enthusiasm and love, so we returned to happy healthy pups.”

Patricia D.

“Great communication and I don’t have to worry at all when I am out of town. I know my dog will be better taken care of than when she’s at home 😂. 10 out of 10!”

Jaclyn B.

“If I could give Adrienne 6 stars, I would; she is fantastic! Not only did she make herself available in a super last minute desperation (was dropping off pup at another Rover sitter evening before my 6am flight and henever answered phone or door)”

Ali S.

“Holy cow, everyone, can I just say that this guy went above and beyond, and has so much attention he gives to the animals when he around. Marlowe was going on walks, being loved on, played with, and tended to of every minute he was there. Furthermore, my dog is a senior and has digestive issues, and Marden went so far as to actually grind up his food with cooked rice for him, which made him obviously way more calm. The part that really struck me when I got home was that my dog was immediately calm. He was so ready to see me and normally, he is really anxious, but it was like he was so ready to relax and be calm with me. I am truly impressed and would definitely use Marden more than once, like forever again.”

Jill & Max A.

“Devan was great! Checked in with us regularly to let us know how Blaze was doing and settling in. I could tell that Blaze was well cared for and had a great time with Devan and his partner! Will definitely use him again!”

Samantha & Clifford G.

“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”

Joanne F.

“Rio is the best! It was our first time leaving Big Boy with Rio, and he was a total professional. He sent multiple updates per day, along with photos, and checked in on specifics pertaining to Big Boy's general wellbeing. We're so glad they hit it off and will definitely be reaching out to Rio again.”

About: I had a dog for 18 years and he recently passed from cancer. While I'd love to get a new dog for myself now, my work life situation makes the ownership of a new dog not realistic at this time. I'd like to house dogs, take them on walks and runs, and earn some pocket change doing so. In addition, walking a dog every day would do me wonders in getting me back in shape, which is something I'm looking forward to. I have a 1 bedroom apartment, large living space and kitchen. I'm happy to accommodate the dogs on my couch, or if needed on my bed. Because of the remote nature of my work, I'm available most days. I work from home most weeks, and can accommodate most dogs at most times. I am a dog lover through and through, having had one for over 17 years. I love taking dogs on walks, relaxing with them, and making sure they're well cared for. I am available most hours of the day, with a few exceptions that the dog owners will be notified of prior to any booking (I teach a lecture Mon-Thurs and work some weekends). I frequently dog sit my family's pets, and am happy to make accommodations for any specific needs your pet may have. My apartment is spacious enough for a pet to be comfortable, but for the more energetic pet, I am happy and excited to take them on walks and dog parks. If a dog has a more protracted stay with me, I am happy to take them further away from the house on a trip, with details discussed with the dog owner. My rule for pets is that my house is their house. I keep cables tidy and as out of reach as possible, my space is clean, I am okay with dogs jumping on furniture and have kept my space accommodating for pets of all sizes and needs. I do prefer hosting smaller dogs, and prefer to "get to know" your dog on a walk or in a comfortable space to minimize their potential anxieties about being in a new space.

“Tiffany was awesome! She gave cal plenty of play time, and sent me updates regularly. She clearly has a passion for animals, and her house is a haven for my #1 guy”

“Kay did a terrific job taking care of our dog. She was warm, reliable, and trustworthy with our pet in a way that gave us comfort that he was going to be well taken care of. I have no reservations about using Kay again or recommending her to others.”

About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.

“Catherine takes care of our Oreo so well! She has such a calming energy and so friendly. She always send pictures and updates! I can not rave enough about her!”
