Care First Pet Services

Pet care experience

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.

Alexis and Amy were amazing! They took such great care of my dog, Pia, and were very prompt and professional communicators. Pia is a nervous little girl and they did a phenomenal job caring for her and helping her feel comfortable. Would absolutely recommend. Thank y’all!

My nervous dog came home not stressed out, relaxed and happy. Can’t really ask for much better than that. The pictures and videos helped too.

First timer here, and sure glad I found a winner right away. Alexis shows good energy, attention and smarts about this business. She knows her stuff and really tries to make your dogs time there relaxed yet fun. 100% recommend.

Information Alexis R. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.
