Care First Pet Services

I am extremely aware of how hard it is to leave your animals with someone. We have been doing this for 5 years now, full time. We run daycare and in home boarding. They have become our nieces and nephews. My phone is always taking pics and videos of your loved ones and I send them on a regular basis (unless unwanted). I have worked for King County Animal Shelter and several Vet hospitals in the Kansas and Washington areas since I was 16. I am attentive , fit and ready to care for your animals. I am up to date on the current medicines and vaccines for pets. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard that leads to a creek and/or hiking trails that my boarding dogs have enjoyed, as well as myself! We also just built a "catio" for kitties to enjoy some outdoor time without the fear of them running off. I enjoy photography so have begun taking fun, photogenic pictures of your pets to share with you and your loved ones. They seem to be a hit! This is a passion, but also a job of course.

Boarding • Sep 14, 2026

Alexis was amazing! My regular boarder wasn't available and Strider can be a bit anxious about new situations so I wasn't sure how things would go. I was so happy to see that he took to her right away! They sent videos and pictures and I could tell Strider was comfortable with them and all the other dogs. I highly recommend their doggy care/boarding!

Our dogs had a great stay. Alexis made us feel so comfortable after we just moved here and went on vacation. She was good at keeping us in the loop on how our dogs were doing and helping them in areas they need to work on. Will definitely use again.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 01, 2026

Alexis was wonderful, I highly recommend using her for care. I was in a pinch and Alexis worked with me to provide last minute care for my dog. She was highly communicative and even arranged to pick my dog up for daycare. Alexis was very intentional about helping Puck settle in to a new environment and sent me lots of pictures/texts throughout his stay. I will absolutely be using her services again!

A typical day

I am always looking for new hikes to do. Depending on the dog and their abilities we will explore the area together! Depending on our time limit of course. Dog parks if well managed, are good also for socialization.

Their temperament. How they handle other animals, change in atmosphere. If they have anxiety, nervous around new friends, etc. we will still mostly take them, but onviously wish to know how best to care for them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
