Doggy Day Care Bitter Lake

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.

“Thanks for taking such good care of Parker- he’s clearly very happy and ready for a nap! I appreciate your flexibility and thoughtful approach to his care!”

“Kara is very well experienced and really welcomed Archie, my dog into her home. She accepts Archie’s quirks and allows his to feel at home.”

“Sheena did an excellent job providing daycare for my pup, Hati. Hati was able to socialize with other dogs in a more personalized environment, play and be her silly self. This is so important for my partner and I since we work 9-12 hour shifts. Sheena sent us pictures of Hati having fun and an overall review. I’m beyond grateful for her services and would recommend Sheena to anyone.”

“Julianne is friendly and caring, and took great care of my greyhound for the day so I could attend an event in Kingston. I appreciated how flexible Julianne was with my (ferry-dependent) schedule. Her home is close to the park, so I know my pup enjoyed her walks. I'd be happy for Gia to stay with Julianne again anytime!”

Kim M.

“Caitlin provided fantastic care for my pup! She gave lots of fun updates and my dog became a great friend with her dogs. I would highly recommend her for everyone!”

Alex S.

“Stephanie is a very communicative and reliable sitter. My dog, Eleven, is very anxious, and Stephanie has spent the time/energy to make Eleven feel more comfortable. I love the picture and video updates that Stephanie sends, because I can see that she is spending quality time with Eleven throughout the day. Eleven is always excited to see Stephanie which makes me very happy.”

“Michelle was great! Our girl was relaxed and sleeping when we picked her up at end of day and smiling in the photo from their walk. We would be happy to have Michelle watch Soleil again in future.”

About: I’ve watched pets since I was about 10 years old. Lots of experience with drop-ins, overnight stays, and longterm petsitting/housesitting. Am able to administer shots to pets, and whatever one may need. Have great references! Please feel free to reach out if you think this might be a good fit. Thank you for your time🙂 Just moved into my first apartment in Seattle! Working part time as a server at a restaurant in Fremont & am taking classes at Shoreline Community College. Have a lot of free time particularly during the day and work short hours which goes well with watching pets. I am from the San Juan Islands originally, so my pets have a big yard to play around in. I make sure that my pets are active and getting proper care. As for other people, I do what is requested whether that is just spending time with their pet/s, or walking them, or just checking in on them. I know that pets tend to get more lonely when someone isn’t around so I love to be there to help out when I can!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds for years, from playful puppies to senior companions. At my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly environment where they’ll get plenty of walks, playtime, and affection. Whether your dog needs extra exercise, medication, or just a cozy place to nap, I’ll provide attentive care tailored to their needs. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, with regular breaks for outdoor time, meals, and playtime. My home is a safe and welcoming space. Inside, pets can relax in a clean, cozy environment with plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular leashed walks around the neighborhood or to a nearby park for exercise and playtime.

“Talia was able to accommodate a last minute booking and kept us updated of our pup’s settling in to his first visit. She is cheerful and has a natural way with our dog.”

Thomas R.

“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”
