Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Alan — a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet caregiver. As an empty nester with two grown kids, I now have the time and passion to offer safe, loving, and personalized care for your small dog (typically under 12 lbs). Whether you're traveling, working, or simply need a break, your pup will be spoiled with attention, playtime, and cozy naps in a clean, secure home — not an apartment! 📍 Conveniently located: 2 minutes from Downtown Redmond 4 minutes from Downtown Kirkland 8 minutes from Downtown Bellevue (Plus, we have a fully fenced backyard for extra playtime!) 📸 Daily Photo Updates: Stay connected with your pup through regular photos. 🛁 Additional Services: Bathing and light grooming available upon request (additional fee).

Thank you for taking care of Rupert while I was gone. Being able to go on a trip and not worry about him was a blessing. Especially due to his age. He was well taken care of.

Our 10lb Havanese, Max, had a wonderful stay with Alan. Alan took great care of him with a regular daily routine that included two walks and lots of fun play time. Alan was great at communicating both prior to and during Max's visit, and we really appreciated all of the photos and videos while we were away. We loved that Alan only takes small dogs, and it was lovely seeing videos of Max with playmates of his own size. We will definitely plan on having Max return next time we are out of town.

Alan was very caring and considerate for our aging dog Dorothy, and made sure she was comfortable at his home for 3 weeks. He also keenly observed Dorothy's behavior throughout the stay, and gave us good updates/pictures on how she was doing. I would recommend Alan for future stays.

Alan and his family were absolutely wonderful! There was clear and constant communication throughout the week that my dog stayed with them. She was so well taken care of and seemed very happy at pick up. I would highly recommend Alan!
