Location is everything. We are located 5 miles from the highway, on top of a hill on a dirt road and far away from traffic and distractions. For the dog who is less inclined for big mountain excursions, they have full access to 2700 feet of living space and a medium fenced in backyard, all to themselves while the rest of us are gallivanting for the afternoon. There's an indoor ball pit, a backyard doggy pool in warmer weather and lots of beds and furniture to relax on. For the athletic gregarious adventure seekers, there's over 3 hours of private mountain trails right from the living room door. Dogs hike off leash and play and explore with friends and burn tons of excited energy. Inclusive Dog Vacation Activity Daycare & Pet Airbnb on 14 acres of land. Leaving your beloved fur family with a stranger in a new environment should not be taken lightly and owners should inquire with their own recommended checklist, concerns and expectations, to ensure their pet is sitter-prepared and heading into the best-fit atmosphere. My setting: I'm not licensed, insured or bonded, I use ecollsrs/bark collars on beep/vibrate mode, hike off-leash in remote areas often without service (GPS collars highly encouraged) in a group setting, in all weather conditions and I do NOT use seat-belts for the dogs during travel. Stays and participation is at the dog owners own risk and dogs owner is liable for their dogs behaviors and actions. My recommended checklist: 1) well-trained dogs who can predictably respond to commands from a stranger. 2) active dogs who are familiar with long adventurous hikes in the wild and encounters with other hikers, dogs, bikers, skiers, hunters, fishermen, horses, wildlife, bad weather, etc. 3) gregarious dogs who know how to be a dog friend. 4) a dog who's role reflects a member-of-the-family. IF YOUR DOG IS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, PLEASE USE CAUTION BEFORE BOOKING: 1) Anxious. 2) Service/emotional support/operation/property pet. 3) untrained to follow commands without fail. 4)unfamiliar with off-leash river/trail/mountain hiking in a group setting. 5)anti-social. I can not accept bookings from dogs who have a history of sending another dog, animal or human to vet or hospital unless they have gone through the appropriate training to deal with their aggressive reactions. A dogs actions and behavior should reflect their owners investment, preparation and training for being separated from their owner and trusted to respond predictably and appropriately. Do not neglect your pet by placing them in care in the wrong environment for their needs. Do your research, ASK questions of concern, disclose known history of concern and be accountable for your pet. I will always love and entertain a pet I am hosting and make every effort to keep them safe, comfortable and happy but I am not a dog trainer, I'm a stranger!!! There is always risk. I can not always control a contumacious dog nor can I run faster than a dog who wonders off, especially if I'm already working with other dogs. In case of app emergency please refer to A. Piirainen of Bellevue on all social media accounts. I run a super active doggy daycare that supports socializing & exercise & we are prominently outside exploring. I am attentive and affectionate towards my fluffy clients & patient as they learn important skills when it comes to sharing space at home, in the Wag Wagon & the planet. I respect fellow hikers and bikers, pedestrians and other dogs to the best of my abilities. I encourage dogs have GPS collars and vacillate sharing ecollars for dogs who are still contumacious at times. I do NOT promote the use of the 'shock' feature unless there is a safety concern & emergency; including harassment of wildlife & horses. I leave every public area in better condition than when arrived & pick up extra poop & litter.
