Doggy Day Care Hat Island

About: I’ve spent my life around animals, growing up with big dogs and cats and now working at an animal rescue. I’m very comfortable with administering medications, high energy dogs, and senior and puppy care. Because of my background in animal welfare, I have a special patience for nervous dogs who might be wary of men, and pets/breeds who might be labelled “difficult”. I know how to give them the space they need to feel secure and build the trust needed to keep them happy while you’re away. I adore animals of all kinds and can’t wait to get to know your furry family members! 🐾🩷 I work from home most days, and am lucky to have a 4-day work week. All that means I spend a lot of time with my pets! I’m an early riser, so in the mornings me and my dog will often be on local trails, off leash parks, at Double Bluff, or wandering our sleepy Clinton neighborhood. We love to play in my fully fenced yard regularly throughout the day. Fridays and my weekends are all about enjoying the beautiful PNW with my pup and I’d love to bring your pets along for the ride! In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture and treated like members of the family. Paws are wiped off when we come back inside, and everyone has free roam of the house. When necessary we have gates to seperate upstairs and downstairs areas, so if your pet needs some private time on their own couch, it’s available to them! At your house, I treat your space with the same level of care I give your pets. I’ll make sure the mail is brought in, your plants are watered, the house stays tidy, and the locks are triple checked. Because I work with rescued animals, I’m also very intentional about maintaining your pet’s routine to minimize any anxiety while you’re away. When we’re out, I’m hyper-vigilant about leash safety and harness checks. If your dog is a flight risk or just easily spooked, I have the experience to keep them focused, happy, and secure. I know I need lots of updates when I’m on vacation, so you’ll get plenty of photos from me from each visit! No judgement if you’re a helicopter pet parent, I promise 😉

“Marlene was great! She responded to communication quickly, sent pictures during the session, and my dog loved hanging out with her, her family, and her dogs.”

“Goose had a GREAT time with Elena and Klemheist. He came home a happy and sleepy puppy. Elena helped me out last minute after my previous sitter had to cancel and I could not be more thankful. I’ll definitely be using Elena next time I need doggy daycare or boarding for Goose.”

“So thankful for the extra care given Gideon on late.Tuesday evenings when I had special events to take care of. Let go the extra mile of taking some amazing photos of Gideon, one that will be a real keeper for sure, has been much appreciated.”

About: In our previous home in Missouri my husband and I frequently pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors. We moved to Washington January of 2025 and have missed the furry friends we cared for there. I have experience with large and small dogs including some elderly and some very high energy. I’ve also looked after cats, individuals and larger groups including groups with various feeding needs. I work virtually and can be available most week days for daytime pet sitting in homes that have consistent internet access or drop ins a few times a day. On weekends my availability varies but I can typically plan for drop in and overnight care with at least 1 week notice. I am married and may request my spouse be allowed to stay with me or drop by in longer term sitting situations. Whether it’s a walk or a week together I’ll try to treat your pet with the same care and attention you would. Allowing you to feel comfortable while you are away. As a pet sitter I try not to disrupt your furry family member’s typical schedule as much as possible. Pet care is very individual so I try to conform to what that pet is familiar with to minimize anxiety for them, while making sure their basic needs are met.

“Bailey is amazing host! She is flexible, reasonably priced, and did an amazing job caring for my dog when I was in town for work. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've had experience taking care of both dogs and cats. My friends and family have often trusted me with taking care of their pets, which included feeding and walking them. With my former dog, I did basic training in commands (i.e. sit, stay, come) and know how to be firm when necessary. As a recent cat owner, I've learned the reins on taking care of a cat and how to live with one as well. Currently I'm freelancing, so I'm pretty flexible on availability with enough notice! Walking and playing with your pets is a fun activity I'm always down for. I can take care of cats and small dogs within my living space. I do not have a fenced backyard for dogs, however I am able to provide frequent walks and play time when needed due to my freelance schedule. I also have separate rooms if needed to cool off for stimulated pets.

“Alexa came through for me after scheduled Rover dog watcher canceled at the last minute. I will hope Alexa is available to watch KALI next time. Tom”

“My 3.5 yr old Golden Retriever loves his day care days at Mary's house. He comes home happy and tired after a day of playing with Mary and the other dogs.”

“Our fluffy girl needed a haven from carpet cleaning and Wan Y. gave her a happy and safe place to be for today. Very responsive and caring!”

“Having Jiahna care for Gideon has been a real pleasure. She was very helpful and flexible as we did a meet and greet and evaluated if Gideon would be a good fit. She took time to ask really good questions about Gideon and learn all she could so it's the better care for Gideon. From the get-go, Gideon loved being at her house and sharing time with her puppy. It was a good fit. I always knew that Jiahna had Gideon's best in mind, and I always got good reports at the end of the day. So very glad that I got to meet and have Gideon stay with Jiahna. I highly recommend her as a safe and professional Rover person for your canine needs. Gideon will miss her for sure and I have really appreciated the care and great connection that she showed in caring for Gideon. 💜🐕”

“Sarah was so amazing!!! Having a meet and greet was so helpful because when dropping off Katara for her doggy daycare this morning, she was super excited to be there! I got lots of pictures and videos throughout her whole day with updates of how much fun she was having. She even took her for a whole walk too which was awesome! I appreciate how much time she spends outside with the dogs and keeping an eye on them. Can't wait for my girl Katara to go back. She came home a very happy, tired pup which is the best 😄”

About: I have a genuine passion for learning about and understanding all types of animals. My experience in pet care comes from years of personally caring for my own pets, assisting friends and family, and volunteering in various animal care settings. This hands-on experience has deepened my knowledge and strengthened my commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care. Living with a high-maintenance Frenchie means my days revolve around his care—and if you have a Frenchie, you understand! I regularly clean his paws, wipe his face and bottom, and apply coconut oil to his facial wrinkles several times a day, along with moisturizing his coat for softness. I also provide him with tailored supplements and healthy vegetable treats to keep him happy and thriving. In my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their regular routines closely—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications or grooming. I also keep pet areas clean, offer lots of affection and attention, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind for the pet parent. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or outdoor adventures, I treat every pet like part of the family.

“Great place to have your dog watched and cared for.”

“Logan has watched my dog a few days now, and my pup is so happy to be there!! I think it was the third morning I got there, my dog realized where we were and her tail was wagging like crazy heading towards the house. I feel super confident that Logan has taken great care of my little doggo and would be happy to bring my pets back again and again.”

About: Hi! My name is Lyandra, but you can call me Lyah. I was born in Brazil and am a U.S. resident. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and it’s truly my passion. Today, I share my home with two cats and one dog, who are the loves of my life. They remind me every day why I chose to dedicate my life to caring for animals. My love for pets became even stronger because of my Shih Tzu, Thor. I lost him six years ago, but he completely changed my life. His unconditional love inspired me to dedicate myself to caring for animals with even more compassion and purpose. I have his real paw print tattooed on my shoulder as a daily reminder that every pet deserves to be loved, cherished, and treated like family. Caring for other people’s pets is my way of honoring the legacy he left in my heart. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs in Brazil, in London while working with families in their homes, and now here in the United States. This international experience has allowed me to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities while adapting to each family’s routine and needs. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community in Everett with a large, fully fenced dog park, a professional pet washing station, beautiful walking trails along the river, nearby parks, beaches, and hiking trails. Every outing is based on your dog’s personality, energy level, age, and your preferences. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply cuddling at home, I customize their stay to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide frequent potty breaks, fresh water, daily walks, supervised playtime, photo and video updates, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I am also Pet First Aid & CPR certified because your pet’s safety is my highest priority. If your dog is used to sleeping in bed, they’re more than welcome to sleep in bed with us. My husband and I always joke that our bed belongs more to the pets than it does to us! ❤️🐾 To me, pets are family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, peaceful, and enriching environment where every dog feels completely at home while you’re away. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family member and care for them as if they were one of my own. I stay at home, your dog will enjoy companionship, personalized attention, and dedicated care throughout the day. I provide frequent potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and a safe, supervised environment where your pet will never feel lonely. My home is shared with three friendly resident pets an 8 month old puppy who loves meeting new friends and two gentle cats. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. Please note that I do not offer pick-up or drop-off services unless transportation is arranged through Uber or another ride service. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Although I live in an apartment, my community offers a large, fully fenced dog park, and we’re located right next to the river with beautiful walking paths. We also have easy access to Forest Park and nearby hiking trails, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. My apartment community also features a professional pet washing station, similar to a pet grooming salon. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where every dog is supervised and treated with the same love, patience, and care as if they were my own. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and having a wonderful time while you’re away.

“I appreciated Crystal for the last minute request. She scheduled a meet prior to the daycare which I loved. I’ll definitely book with Crystal again!”
