Doggy Day Care in Madison Valley, Seattle, WA

“Antonio watched my dog with not even a 12 hour notice. He was kind and patient with my young pup and demonstrated skills consistent with a quality caretaker for my dog. He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and got my dog some much needed exercise. I am grateful he was able to help me in a time of need. His dog Rubie is a sweetheart too and was patient with my 1.5 year old pup.”

“Stephanie was wonderful with our new 8 month old rescue pup. This was Willow’s first day away from us since she arrived. Stephanie kept me informed throughout the day with texts, photos and videos. Willow will be a repeat customer for daycare. Also Louie was really patient with adolescent puppy energy”

“Erica was incredible with my higher need, anxious golden! She was very understanding of her food allergies and patient when she had separation anxiety! She sent multiple updates & kept me informed throughout the stay. Will be staying with her again!”

“Shu was so great with Gify! We were a little worried about our 6 months old puppy meeting a cat for the first time but Gify had such a fun time with Lady and another dog that she didn’t even noticed the cat. ? Would definitely recommend Shu’s service!”

“Faeden has been watching Samara weekly for me while I’m at work and I couldn’t recommend them more. I really appreciate the care they provide my puppy and all the updates throughout the day.”

About: With my corgi Nori as my sidekick, together, we provide daycare days to relaxed overnight stays and refreshing walks. We make sure every pup feels happy, safe, and loved. Nori enjoys meeting new friends, and I make sure keep playtime supervised and stress-free. Expect wagging tails, regular updates, and lots of TLC. I work fully remote, so I'll be at home all day with your pup. We have a little yard out front and are in a great walking location. Pups are never left alone for long periods and receive consistent supervision, attention, and care. Because I’m home, I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication, and crate time if needed. I don't accept more than 2 dogs per day (for both boarding and day care) so you can be sure that your pup will get plenty of attention I have a little fenced yard out front and a big living room space for the pups to play in, and plenty of space for crates if your pup uses one. Pups also welcome to chill the couch with tons of blankets, and also more than welcome to snuggle in bed if they so choose.

About: Most of my life has been shared with animals, from pets, to show stock, and a couple working class as well - everything from the nocturnal Hedgehog, to Birmingham Rollers, a working cattle-horse and seven dogs, four of which entered my life after starting college and living on my own. This simply means that I have a great deal of experience tuning in to the needs of a variety of animals. And I have a lot of love and patience for them as well. This is especially true for "reactive" dogs, for whom I happily provide specialized care. =============== See below for details on my Exclusive Care offering for Reactive Dogs =============== I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages and capabilities and frequently find myself providing specialized care for older, four-legged clients. I received my training in dog-boarding and family-pet-servitude from four wonderful four-legged family members: a Miniature Pinscher, a Rhodesian Ridgeback/Terrier/Hound mix, a German Shorthair Pointer, and a Black Lab Great Dane mix. They made sure I was familiar with the needs, the precautions and the peculiarities of the Tea-Cup clan, the Blue-Collar Working dog, the Hunting-All-the-Time dog, and the Sleep-All-Day-Unless-We're-Chasing-Balls happy dog. I am comfortable administering medication to your dog, as well as sensitive to the needs of older companions who may just want a scratch behind the ear and a lap to rest their head on. =============== Exclusive Care offering for Reactive Dogs =============== Seattle Municipal Code limits how many domesticated animals can occupy a residential property at a time. That limit is three (3) for properties under 20k sq ft., and includes cats, dogs and miniature pot belly pigs. SMC 23.42.052 - "Keeping of animals" also applies to home-based pet boarding service providers are limited to three dogs in their home at a time. Because of the additional care and attention that reactive and elder dogs deserve, I offer an Exclusive Care option which guarantees your pet will be the only client in my home for the duration of their stay. Providing this service to pets needing additional care, attention and engagement, limits my home-based income potential to 1/2 of what I could otherwise earn by caring for two less reactive dogs. To assure that I can provide the attention your pet deserves, a 50% surcharge is necessary and contractually guarantees you a specialized service. Reactive-aggressive dogs can still be wonderful and loving family members. Out of safety for all though, a reactive-aggressive pet will be taken only after a Meet & Greet, and then only as an Exclusive Care Client, at the standard (or holiday) rate + 50% surcharge. Drop-off and pickup times also need to be actively managed to avoid conflict with arriving or departing clients. =============== No Charge Half-Day Visit * =============== For dogs that exhibit separation anxiety or that are otherwise reactive, I recommend a Half-Day Visit prior to the date of their over-night boarding. This introduces me and my home as a safe space for your pet to visit, and that you their loving owner will return to get them soon. There is NO CHARGE for the Half-Day Visit for Exclusive Care Clients with a booked stay of 4 or more nights. ----------------- *No Charge Half-Day Visit Availability and Cancellation Policy 1) The No Charge Half-Day Visit is available to Exclusive Care Clients with a booking of 4 or more nights. 2) Availability is limited to days when no other boarders are present and will be confirmed two days before the Half-Day Visit. 3) Cancellation of a Booking after the No Charge Half-Day Visit has occurred will result in a single day's charge for the Half-Day Visit being deducted from the refund for the Cancelled Booking. Your four-legged family member will enjoy near 24x7 companionship. I work from home and have flexibility in my schedule. I am able to feed your companion on the schedule you request. and comfortable in assuring no medication doses are missed. Our home is fully fenced and landscapewith your pup’s perfect day in mind. Got a dog who likes to nap, sniff, wander, repeat? They’ll love the secure, quiet back patio—easily accessed from inside the house and ideal for midday lounging or full-body stretches in peace. Feeling a little nosy? We get it. The front yard is prime real estate for squirrel surveillance and people-watching, Front yard time is always supervised, usually with me and a mug of coffee. And for the sun-seekers? The rooftop deck is the crown jewel—part sunshine, part shade, all vibes—tucked beneath Seattle’s largest registered Red Oak tree. It's no wonder we call this place The Squirrel Farm. As far as working with your pet, I rely on praise-based reinforcement techniques—because every good dog deserves encouragement, cookies, and a happy “Yes!” when they get it right.

“Our dog is very shy and fearful of humans, but he really loves Raquel!! He’s not even that eager to leave with us when we pick him up (lol), which is very surprising and encouraging! Also, Raquel’s dog Nico is a wonderful role model!”

“Cassandra has been absolutely wonderful with Gurley. She clearly cares deeply about the dogs in her care and treats Gurley like one of her own. She takes her on fun adventures with her dogs, Bam Bam and Pilot, and Gurley always comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired. It is obvious she is having the best time. Cassandra is also incredibly responsive and communicative. She sends great photos and videos so I can see Gurley enjoying herself, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I always feel confident that Gurley is safe, well cared for, and genuinely loved. I would highly recommend Cassandra for dog walking, daycare, or any of her services. She is a true dog person and an exceptional caregiver.”
