Dog Boarding in Grand Mound, WA

“Another great visit at Mandee’s place for Copper! He loves it there. It was a bit muddy so we had to clean him up after but that’s no issue when he got to have so much fun. Mandee is great with collaboration when our plans change and we need to pick our boy up earlier or later, could not recommend her more!”

“Kain loves Kevin and his family! Every time we mention their names to Kain, his ears perk up and face asks 'now? now?'. He has such a good time and loves to play with Timeline and Chaos.”

“Evelyn always takes great care of my dog! They go on frequent walks and she provides a lot of pictures of the dogs having fun together! Definitely recommend Evelyn to anyone.”

“Amber was wonderful. Very knowledgable about dogs. She was easy to talk to and trust came easily. I am so delighted to have a safe lovely home to bring my dog.”

“Sophie seemed to have a good and stress free time in Angela’s care. Angela was very good with daily communication and pictures, we appreciated it. Thanks for taking good care of our girl 😉”

“Savannah took such wonderful care of my pupper. He was happy when I picked him up. He even gave hugs (he only does that to humans he really likes) when we left. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Savannah for loving Denver like he was your own! ?”

“Toni was great! She was so nice and I can tell Zoie was happy when we picked her up. Great communication and spoiled our girl. I would recommend her to all of my friends and family!”

“Tonya was super friendly and communicative throughout our dog’s stay. She sent us daily pics and updates of our dog. Definitely looking forward to book in the future.”

“Kat was great! She made everything so easy. From the pick up and drop off service, to communicating with my family back home to coordinate, Kat made my experience seamless. I got pictures and videos every day. My dog Kobe had a blast. He got to run around the large property and explore. Thank you Kat. We will be calling you for our next vacation.”

“I am so glad that Noella was able to watch my two dogs over the holiday. She made sure to have a good understanding of both of my dogs and their needs. I really feel that she went above and beyond to make sure that we were kept updated in addition to the photos and videos that she sent. She took great care with our dogs. They were happy, healthy, and had a lot of fun staying with her.”

“Very good conversations and very understanding of all dog types and sizes . Thankyou for all the information we for sure will be using his services again ! 😁”

“EmmyLou had a great time & was clearly not on her best behavior but Amanda was so lovely and understanding. Got routine updates and pics, would definitely use again!”

About: I am very experienced with all sorts of animals, big or small, having begun pet sitting at age 10. I had worked on a ranch from the same age up until I left for college at age 18. Though the pet sitting and ranch activities didn't stop there! Throughout college, I continued to care for friends and coworker's pets, as well as fellow students. I have petsat and/or exercised numerous types of animals given my history of working on ranches, so cats and dogs are easy, and something I have plenty of experience with, and with all sorts of breeds and ages. I am comfortable giving most medications to animals, with the exception of injections. I am home virtually 24/7 since I am currently a remote/online masters student, which gives me all the time in the day to care for and spoil your wonderful pets, as well as keep you updated as to how they are doing. I make it a practice to send a text/message as well as a photo of your pet(s) each day to update you as to how they are doing. If you are boarding with me or using day-care services, I have three partially-fenced acres. Given that it is only partially fenced, I keep all animals on a leash when we go outside for their safety. I own chickens, a horse, a 4 cats of my own, and hopefully goats soon, so there is always plenty to sniff and explore when at my place! Walks are an adventure, and are filled with enrichment with plenty to see and sniff given I border a creek and live semi-rurally, with a suburb neighborhood less than 1/8th of a mile away. On walks, dogs are always kept on leash, and I prefer to use a gentle non-slip lead to prevent any dogs from accidentally wiggling loose out of their collar or harness, though I can use whichever you prefer best. Please reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to answer and help. Although this is my first time using Rover, rest assured I have petsat for 15+ years now, for a variety of animals. Schedule: I'm currently a masters students, in a remote/online program, so I am home 24/7, minus when I run to get groceries or go out to exercise! Thanks to my extraordinarily flexible schedule, I have the ability to switch around my own items or "to-do" items in order to meet your pets needs. Since I'm home 24/7, I can easily offer boarding and day-care for those that need it. Safety, trust, environment: I have 4 cats of my own, and had a dog up until this past summer when he unfortunately lost his battle with lymphoma. I am also a horse owner, and hope to be a goat owner very soon! In my home, I am very hands-on with all my animals care. From medications, to grooming, to exercise, training, and daily care and nutrition, I do it all myself, and am happy to provide the same for your beloved pet as well. For any pet boarded with me, or that is in day-care, or that I am providing drop-in visits for, each day you will be sent a photo with a short update on how your beloved critter is doing, including any concerns should they arise. This is something I have always done for anyone I have pet or ranch sat for, as I believe it brings peace of mind for all involved. For boarding, I have an empty bedroom in my home that can be utilized as a boarded pet "condo" in which they can be peacefully, and safely isolated from my own pets (4 cats) if needed or preferred, and in order to keep stress levels down if you would like. I can supply scratchers and toys during your pets stay if needed or wanted. I can also provide beds if needed. Your pets food bowls will be washed each day to ensure they are clean and bacteria free! Boarding rules: -Dogs must be cat friendly, seeing as I have 4 cats of my own. -No cats that spray, sorry. -Please let me know if the animal has any behavioral issues (dog aggression, anxiety, fear, inappropriate elimination, etc). Please let me know ahead of time so that I can figure out if I can handle your pet, or if I am not the best fit for your pets needs. If the animal has a behavioral issue, I will only be boarding that one animal at a time. I will not take on animals that have any human aggression or that have a bite history. -Please let me know if the animal has any medical issues. I can take most of these cases on, I just need to know what to expect, so that I can properly care for the animal, or let you know if I am not the right fit. -Please provide a detailed care sheet for each animal, including their name, age, sex, weight, any medical concerns, current food and amount they eat per day, a description of the animals appearance, their vaccination status, microchip status, as well as any relevant medical or life history. This care sheet will be used not only to provide the best care possible for your pet, but also in case of emergency, should your pet need a vet visit. -Animals must be up to date on their vaccinations.

“Desiree and her family provided great care for our 2 year old Havapoo during a week stay. She got lots of playtime in the fenced back yard with other dogs and plenty of cuddles. We appreciated daily pictures and videos during her stay. She often won’t eat when apart from us, but she did for Desiree. We would definitely book with Desiree again.”

“Carmen was very quick to respond and took great care if my 6 year old Burnaby. Nicki seemed to settle in quickly and enjoy herself ag Carmen's place. Will definitely book again in the future.”

“Courtney was great! She was flexible with time, kept me updated with photos and messages. Her place was well-kept and dog-friendly. Definitely will be using her again in the future! ”

“We feel so relieved and happy to have found Kailyn! We are so grateful for her excellent care for our dog, Dezi. He is a Coton de Tulear/maltipoo who is very loving but has social anxiety and leash aggression. Kailyn’s two sweet dogs, Luna & Cooper + kitties were so welcoming & patient with him. When I met her animals, I knew Dezi would be well taken care of! Kailyn is very kind, quickly communicates with us through texts, and I appreciated her updates! She sent a video clip of him playing too! With another sitter, our dog ran away several times and was relieved to go home. But Dezi had no issues with Kailyn and was happy to be with her. I so appreciate how she took the time to meet him and was willing to watch him even though I shared his struggles and anxieties. I’m so glad he had a wonderful time. I’m looking forward to having Dezi spend time with Kailyn again.”

“Liz was so kind and specialized working with senior dogs. Liz was a burst of refreshing energy and was very responsive. Our boy Chocko had an absolute blast. We did boarding and it was great. Chocko had so much fun we may do doggy daycare occasionally just so he can hang with other dogs! We highly recommend Liz!”

“Absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines you’ve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!”

“Mandy was amazing! She took care of my little pup and constantly kept me updated! I will absolutely recommend her to everyone and use her whenever my dog needs a place to stay! Thankyou!!!!!”
