“Erin was great. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, sent photos, and made sure we knew that Nox was okay. Nox also got to interact with other pets which seems to have done wonders: He’s back home and super chill. We’re so thankful for the time he spent time at Erin’s!”
“I highly recommend Susan for boarding. She took excellent care of our energetic two year old lab. Her home is warm and cozy and her yard is a dogs dream. Her land is fully fenced with lots of space to run, chase squirrels and play fetch. We received daily photos and videos and excellent communication. She even went above and beyond with a special treat for him on Christmas. Our pup came home happy and tired. I can not recommend her enough!”

About: With 63 years of loving and caring for dogs, my life’s journey has been beautifully shaped by the incredible companions I’ve raised and adored. From my childhood pup to my German Shepherd, Bailey, who blessed me with 8 puppies, to rescuing sweet Poncho Via in Mexico—who lived a joyful 16 years—I’ve experienced every chapter of a dog’s life. In 2006, I fell in love with Australian Cattle Dogs, raising Tucker Station, Willow Springs, and Parker Station from birth. I stood by them through the toughest times—Tucker’s battle with congestive heart failure, Willow’s courageous fight with cancer, and Parker’s journey through chronic kidney disease and heart failure, before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May 2025. This isn’t just pet care—it’s my life’s purpose. I specialize in puppy training, providing compassionate senior care, and making anxious or special-needs dogs feel safe and loved. With me, your dog will be treated like cherished family—because that’s exactly what they are.” Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life—it’s not a task, it’s a joy! From morning tail wags to evening snuggles, my days revolve around walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s an energetic puppy needing structure or a senior dog wanting quiet companionship, I adjust my day to meet their unique needs. Simply put—dogs aren’t a part of my routine…they ARE the routine! Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. In my home, dogs enjoy a clean, secure environment with cozy rest areas, supervised playtime, and a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun. Whether they’re playful pups or senior snugglers, their comfort always comes first. In my clients’ homes, I respectfully follow all routines and care instructions to keep pets feeling safe and secure in their familiar surroundings. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety with secure leashing, close supervision, and plenty of affection. No matter the service, you’ll always receive regular updates and photos—because I know how much peace of mind that brings!
“Trinity was wonderful. April and I plan on using her again. I almost hesitate to write a review so I can keep her to myself. I received updates and pictures and Trinity was always available to iron out logistics because I wasn’t able to drop April off or pick her up and had a friend do so for me. April stayed for 5 days at Trinity’s house and came back with a fresh wash even. I was even told April didn’t seem to want to leave when my friend picked her up. I am very grateful to Trinity and I know April looks forward to hanging out again.”

“Keina was very nice. She took very good care of my German Shepherd. She took him out for frequent walks, played frisbee and looked after well when my dog suffered from a stomach upset. She also kept in touch by sending pics and vdos. I would surely recommend her.”
About: Growing up with farm animals and pets has allowed me to experience all sorts of situations. I error on the side of caution with my pets and friends pets. Having owned house pets, birds, farm animals, and reptiles, I have developed a keen eye for their comfort and health. My time in 4~H as a young adult helped me develop my animal awareness, as I cared for bunny rabbits with dedication and love. Currently, I have one dog, Yams. She is so cool, calm and collected. Her hobbies include: rolling in stinky things, digging holes, chasing squirrels, playing with toys and snuggling. My job allows me to partially work from home and have weekends off. I work in Salmon Creek and live in my home in Kelso. I’m happy to provide in-home care or take your pet for a play-date at the park. Whether your pet prefers crating or sitting in the back seat of my Ford Escape, we have options for car rides. I am comfortable with harnesses and leash walks. With outdoor play, I am very aware of choking hazards and watch pets carefully while outside.

“Good afternoon. This is in about Becky C. Very good friend great lover of animals and with out a doubt a caregiver of everything. Her pets which i know get the best care an animal should. And that is the way she would approach being a caregiver for others pets . All of her pets have exceeded the life expectancy for the breed. I think that is the most impressive to me. .of all the people i know she would be the one i picked for Rover. I hope this helps and the decision should be one you can be confident in. Thank you Doug Sweet”
