Doggy Day Care in Fort Lewis

About: I grew up surrounded by many animals. When I was 10 I had 4 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, 1 cat and stray farm cats. I spent time working on a farm with my family who taught me how to love and care for animals. I also pet sat throughout high school and later worked at a doggy daycare, gaining hands on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I love taking dogs on hikes and fun adventures while their pet parents are away. I even have a dedicated dog room filled with their favorite things to help them feel comfortable, loved, and at home until their family returns. 🏡 I’m a stay at home wife who loves baking, walking, going on hikes, and if I’m not hiking I’m home 24/7, so your dog will always have plenty of attention and care. When a dog stays with me, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. We will also go on plenty of walks and Saturdays are reserved for fun hikes and extra adventures!! I will also annoy you with pictures and videos to update you! 😂💖 I provide a calm, loving home where pets are treated like my family. I follow their regular routines, provide daily walks, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable space so they feel happy while their parents are away.

About: All my life I lived with dogs and cats, feel sure that together with my wife we will take care of your pet as if it were ours, my wife is from Bolivia and lived with 3 dogs and 2 more cats with parabas parrots and monkeys, we are a family that loves animals and we care a lot about them I like to be aware of pets when they are under my charge and do activities with them, my wife doesn't work all the time she is at home you can be sure that your pets will never be alone Before receiving any pet, if the pet's parents are willing, we can make an appointment to meet each other, so that our dogs can get to know each other and you can feel more secure about where your pet will stay.

“We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!”

“Candi was awesome! She was so patient and understanding with my pups extreme separation anxiety and did really well communicating with me while I was gone. She responded fast and while I needed her last minute, she was able to adjust to fit me in. So thank you Candi! Maya very much appreciates and loves her new toy! Will definitely use her again as well as recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Caitlyn! What sets me apart is my genuine dedication to animals and their well-being. I treat every dog like family and strive to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your pup. I live with two young golden doodles (ages 3 and 4), so I’m very familiar with the energy and needs of playful, active dogs. I also have experience caring for senior pups and understand their gentler pace and unique needs. I always recommend a meet and greet to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable, and I can separate dogs if needed. My approach to behavior is rooted in positive reinforcement and redirection. When a firmer approach is warranted, I use calm, corrective methods—such as ending the unwanted behavior and giving the dog time to settle down with a clear, firm statement. I aim to create a consistent, respectful environment that helps dogs thrive. Additional services: Grooming add-ons: Pricing varies based on needs but would not exceed $40 (brushing, deshedding, light trims, bathing & drying with gentle products) Sometimes dogs need a refresh after lots of outdoor time in the PNW! Whether you have a bouncy pup or a mellow senior, your dog will receive personalized, compassionate care while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! Pet care is woven into my daily routine. I work from home, which means I’m available throughout the day to give your dog plenty of attention, activity, and affection. Each day includes a mix of outdoor time—whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a beach stroll, or a trip to the dog park—depending on the weather and what the dogs need. On weekends, we occasionally head to our family’s cabin, and if your dog enjoys swimming, they’ll have a blast there! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. I have a spacious backyard perfect for playtime, plus easy access to the beach and a dog park—each less than a mile away. Based on your dog’s needs and your preferences, I can focus on beach outings, park trips, or backyard play. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, and mental stimulation, including walks, play, and cuddle time during their stay. If your pup needs extra guidance, I offer crate training and basic obedience support. I carefully follow any instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or firm boundaries—to ensure a smooth, comforting experience. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.

“Andrea is extremely responsive to all messages and requests. We’ve used Andrea for neighborhood walks and a day of daycare, all of those times she was on time, wrote detailed reports and sent pictures. She is very patient with our shy dog and I’m so glad we found her!”

Brittany B.

“Sussie was absolutely wonderful with our Daisy! She had such a great week and came home happily tired each day from all the neighborhood walks. Sussie’s calm, patient approach when Daisy felt a little anxious made all the difference, helping her feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. We loved receiving the daily photo updates, and the communication was excellent throughout. On top of everything, she was incredibly accommodating. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our fluffy gal - thank you, Sussie! Miss Daisy is looking forward to spending more time with you and your family in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 12 years old. Growing up with pets taught me the responsibility it takes to care for each individual dogs needs and comfort. I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog fostering for the last 6 years. Currently pet sitting is something I do full time. I am a stay a home mom so I am home 24/7! I have a 18 month old daughter who loves animals and she is used to very large dogs. In the mornings I take my pups for a walk and come home to feed them breakfast. Throughout the day we play and take potty breaks every 2 hours or so. I have a fenced in backyard and an unfenced front yard. There is a dog park not far from my home, so we take walks there frequently. We end our night with dinner and one last play/potty break before bedtime. I live in a house in a gated community. I prefer meet and greets before booking. I have multiple water dishes throughout my home that are always full. I do not offer human food to dogs unless specifically told it’s okay by the owner, this is to avoid any issues with dogs that may have digestion problems. If your dog is crate trained and needs to be in a crate if nobody is home for a short period of time, please let me know before hand. All dogs MUST be child friendly as I do have a 18 month daughter myself, she is great with animals and is very used to larger breeds.
