Eastside dogwalking/dogwhispering is fun for me and for furry friends! I'm an artist/arts admin by day and love taking care of my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs in my off hours; I’ve been house and pet sitting for well over a decade. I especially enjoy giving doggy massages after strolling around the neighborhood or playing fetch in the yard! I'm an avid hiker, adventurer, and animal lover, and want to help our community's pets feel loved even when you're not around. Thanks for adding me to your dog's team. Now that I have my own 7 month old puppy, I am primarily available for walks or drop-ins on a restricted schedule, but don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in a bind and need help outside of what I have listed—we might be able to work something out. I'm primarily booking Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer but may be able to fit in Monday Wednesday Friday early to mid-mornings or late evenings with advance notice. Note: I've updated my pricing to better reflect time spent on travel, meet & greets, copious dog play + snuggle time. These rates reflect that I don't cut corners with your dog's much-needed care, exercise, and social time. :) I require a meet and greet with all clients before booking for the first time or if it has been more than a year since we last booked. I am vaccinated but reserve the right to adjust bookings if public health guidelines become more restricted. My legal name is Alaura, but I go by Beau or Borealis, and my pronouns are they/them.
