Doggy Day Care Discovery Junction

About: I am a big animal lover! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and periodically watched animals for friends and family throughout the years. I have delt with animals with disabilities, old age, medications and puppies. I just love animals and everything that comes with them. My pets are my current job right now! I am working on starting a small business from home so caring for my animals or others animals is my top prority! I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs that love making friends with new dogs. We are all also big cat lovers! We have a dog house outside if your pet prefers and we take our animals on daily walks and/or car rides.

“Susan takes great care to meet her dog visitor’s needs. Mine needed extra TLC and medications and it was such a relief to leave him in her care with total confidence.”

About: We have been pet people our entire 40+ years together. We have fostered pups and adopted many pups. Right now we have an older Bichon who loves all dogs! We are retired and love 2 daily hikes on our 3.3 acres in the country. Pups have a window seat to look out and enjoy sun bathing. Dogs are left alone for very short periods of time. Pups sleep near the people. Dogs love it here and we love dogs being here. Retired. I swim 3 days a week, but other than that.... I am home most every day...all day and night. We recently became a one dog home...Our old pup Nike was at least 17 years. Samson, the Bichon loves all dogs and welcomes them with open paws! Our home is safe for dogs and baby proofed for when Grandchildren visit. Safety first is very important standard we live by. We have a dog camera for when we are away at pool, or grocery store.

“My dog immediately took to Lauren, who clearly has a way with dogs and a calming effect on sometimes-anxious animals like mine. Lauren has also been very accommodating of my schedule and super kind. She shared helpful updates and cute photos. My dog and I are both excited for her to go back to see Lauren soon!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life, and during Covid—when I was working from home rather than at UW—I became a foster dog mom, which I loved. I retired in January and now happily spend much of my time in my art studio. Alas, there are no pets in my life at the moment, so I’d love the chance to be with yours! I especially enjoy the companionship of animals and the ordinary, unhurried time that comes with caring for them—walks, play, hanging out, and simply being together. Being retired means I have something that can be hard to find: time without a rush. I’m a homeowner with a flexible schedule, and I can give a pet my attention rather than squeezing their care into the edges of a busy day. I’m not a full-time sitter, and I don’t administer medications, but I’m happy to provide attentive, dependable care and plenty of affection. I’m also hoping to make pet sitting part of my longer-term adventures—spending time with wonderful animals on South Whidbey or the San Juan Islands, and eventually pet sitting in interesting places abroad. It seems like a pretty lovely way to travel: get to know a place through the eyes of a local pet, and have a furry companion along the way. For now, I’d be very happy to borrow yours. I’m retired from the UW in January and am working in my art studio, walking the beach or working out at the gym with a very flexible schedule. So there’s no fixed routine, which I love. I’m happy to adjust my routine to your per/s! Pets thrive on familiar routines, so I’m happy to follow your preferred schedule for meals, playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, and other daily activities, helping your cat feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

“Bridget took good care of our fur-baby while also caring for her young child. Bridget kept us informed of May’s status with pictures so we had nothing to worry about. May had fun interacting with her small dog and playing in the yard. A dog’s innate sense of when you are coming back to fetch her never ceases to amaze me.”

About: Hi, I’m Danielle 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love giving them the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. As a retired Navy veteran, I know how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust when work, vacations, or last minute plans come up. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as cats. I offer in home pet care and daily walks, with a fenced backyard and a dog park nearby for plenty of play and exercise. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes them feel most comfortable. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱 I’m a stay-at-home mom to three school-aged children and a toddler, which gives me a flexible schedule outside of school drop-off and pick-up. I’m available for boarding and daytime care, and I’m committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and make the process simple and stress-free. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to learn more about their routine, personality, and needs. Reach out today to ask questions, discuss availability, or arrange a stay—I’d be happy to connect with you and help your fur baby feel right at home! 🐾 I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. ❤️ I have a clean, fully fenced backyard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. There’s also a nearby dog park for pups who would enjoy some extra exercise. My two pets freely roam our home, but I can easily create separate spaces whenever needed to help everyone feel comfortable. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate time, and individual needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or prefers a little quiet time, I’ll make sure they feel respected and cared for. Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, and reassurance while you’re away. 🐾💕

“Hazel had a blast hanging out with Jax! She came home happy, tired, and well cared for. It was clear she had a wonderful time, and we’d definitely trust Virginia with Hazel again!”

“Super communicative and was great with our pup!”

“Cassie watched out anxious pup while we were away in Seattle. She seemed great and our little Buddy seemed happy when we picked him up.”

Emmalee L.

“Angela and her family have been wonderful and communicative during Charlie’s first week of daycare. As it generally takes Charlie some time to settle into a new routine, this has been the smoothest transition I have had. 100% recommend Angela for daycare or pet sitting needs.”

Stephanie H.

“Thank you Rini for loving Rudy as family. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs and racing around your huge back yard. We're going to miss you and hope to find a sitter as awesome as you in Colorado!”

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals. My own dogs are very old and no longer enjoy walks so I started walking dogs in my neighborhood. I have a knack for calming reactionary dogs and nervous walkers. I enjoy every animal, especially the challenging ones. Pet sitting, playing with dogs, taking walks, what could be better than that? It truly is a passion. I am a retired Mother of 3 whose children are all grown up. Aside from helping my elderly Mother and walking my neighbor's dog my schedule is wide open. I can provide pet sitting in your home including overnights. Don't let my age fool you! I am high energy and walk many miles a day. 10 years ago I hired a family member to stay with my pets for 2 weeks. It was the first time I trusted someone to watch my animals. The first time I had been away from my dog. I couldn't get a hold of her so I sent someone over to check on them on the 3rd day. There was a gigantic pile of dog food on the floor and feces and urine everywhere. My poor dog was entirely alone and one of my cats was missing. I was devastated when we came home to discover my cat had passed away from being locked in a hot garage. that was the last time we took a vacation without our pets along. All this to say I know how important it is to have trustworthy pet care and I pride myself on providing it. I also recognize the importance of communication between client and provider.

“Very responsive and was able to accommodate on short notice. Bonnie seemed to enjoy snuggling on all the soft blankies and dog beds there too! Came home happy and healthy, I got lots of photos and updates. Bonnie probably appreciated being the only dog there too haha.”
