Doggy Day Care Beacon Hill

About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.

“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”

“Churro was feeling a little sick and Brent was incredibly kind to him. Will use again when we're in town!”

“As always, Mckenna and her mom Shirley took the best care of my old dog Chewie, and he's not easy! Thank you so much, Mckenna and Shirley! I'm always sure Chewie is happy and well taken care of when he's at your house.”

“Finn loves going over to William’s house! He always has fun with the dogs that are there. I appreciate that William doesn’t take more than 4 dogs at a time Finn gets all the attention he needs…and he needs quite a lot. William is communicative, kind and reliable. He is great with dogs. I will continue to bring Finn there whenever I’m in need.”

“Maria was wonderful with my senior dog! She was great at communicating and was so thoughtful with how to make my dog as comfortable as possible in her home. Will definitely work with Maria again!”

“We were grateful for Kelly’s flexibility and willingness to watch our dog on New Year’s Day while my husband and I worked 12hr shifts. Buster was one tired, happy puppy after playing all day with his new pup friends. Thank you again, Kelly!”

Kelley D.

“Our dog Midge loved spending the day with Kirsten and her dog Bear! Kirsten was very thorough with her meet and greet and listened to us explain all of Midge's little quirks. Midge was tired and happy after a long walk and romping around the yard with her doggie pals. You can tell Kirsten and her family are total dog people and will take care of your own doggo as if it were their own. We're planning to use Kirsten for more day care and overnight stays in the future!”

“Erica was great with my anxious dog! She did a wonderful job communicating and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was as comfortable as could be!”

Christina A.

“Shaneik did great with both my pups. One of my dogs has anxiety, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to leave him with anyone. Shaneik was super understanding, and both my dogs were really comfortable and calm with her. I’d recommend Shaneik!”

Jessica L.

“Abbie and her partner were wonderful with Bodie! They took him on plenty of adventures and even made sure our picky boy ate his dinner. We would love to have them watch him again!”

Kiara & Thaddeus D.

“Fantastic sitters! Bodhi came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. We really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day. We’d definitely book again!”

Sumiko G.

“I appreciate Eric’s flexibility helping with my two labs during my busy work season, it has been a huge life saver. And the pictures always make my day!”

Madison W.

“Tiffany was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! She was very sweet with him and sent pictures along the way. I could tell my pup had a great time once I picked him up.”

“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”

“Rachael is the absolute best! Quick to respond and keep me updated on my doggo with pics. It’s my first time using Rover and she made the experience a great one. She came in as a lifesaver when i needed a super last min sitter. She took care of my Luna like it was her own. Super recommend ❤️”

“Elle and Scott are amazing, and really made my life so much easier when I started working. My dog is nervous and timid around new people and they really took the time to make him feel comfortable. My dog loves to go to their house and gets to play with other dogs all day. By time I pick him up he is ready to go straight to bed.”

Katie B.

“Thank you Wendy for watching our Benny! He had such a great time with the pack of pups. We will definitely reach out when we are in Seattle next time!”

Maria P.

“Tu was absolutely fantastic with my girl Reggie. After drop off she sent me an update to let me know how she was adjusting to a new place and throughout the day I got pics of my bestie having her new adventure. Would 100% book again!!”

Kirstie L.

“Absolutely loved our experience! Matt took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with tons of sweet photos throughout the day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
