Pet care experience

Your Dog’s Second Home!

I’ve spent years working with dogs, from managing a daycare and boarding facility to caring for them in my own home. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a calm, well-managed environment where dogs can settle in quickly and feel comfortable. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I had a German Shepherd and Wolf mix for 15 years, along with a cat who was with me for over 20, so I understand how much they mean and how important it is to know they’re in good hands. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and make sure they get the extra patience and attention they need.

Andy was great to work with. Amelia had a fantastic time during a day care visit! We’d absolutely book with Andy again!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 26, 2026

Andy was great! He met us beaucoup early in the AM on a weekend to come and pick our puppy up from a hotel where we were catching a tour bus. He then sent copious videos for our perusal throughout the day, so we could see our puppers having as much fun as we were having on tour. Andy was very accommodating and communicative about both pickup and drop-off times too — highly recommend!

Boarding • Jul 07, 2026

Andy did such a great job of sending pictures daily. He sent multiple photos and videos each day, as well as a small write up of the day's activities and how my dog was feeling. It was obvious from the photos that my dog was clearly happy and well cared for. Overall, it was an excellent pet sitting experience.

Andy is a gem! He made sure our sweet Isabela felt at home, taking her on fun walks and treating her as his own pet. We are so thankful we found him! We will definitely be booking with him again.

Andy was fantastic and sent us pictures and great summaries throughout Marky’s time with him. Our dog can get anxious away from home but he seemed at ease with Andy. He got lots of walks! Will definitely work with Andy again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, well maintained apartment in Belltown, with easy access to great walking routes like the Olympic Sculpture Park, the Elliott Bay Trail, and quieter streets nearby for shorter walks. Inside, I keep the space tidy and free of hazards so dogs can relax and move around comfortably. I’m home throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel at ease.

A typical day

A typical day includes walks around the neighborhood and along the waterfront, with the Olympic Sculpture Park just a few blocks away for a longer outing. I like giving dogs a mix of fresh air, movement, and time to explore, depending on their energy and personality. For more active dogs, I can add extra walks, playtime, and engagement throughout the day. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to keep things relaxed at home, making sure they’re comfortable, settled, and well cared for.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, or specific care instructions. Feeding details, emergency contact information, and your veterinarian’s contact information are also helpful to have. It’s also important to know how your dog does around other dogs and people, especially in shared spaces like elevators, sidewalks, or on walks. If there are any routines, preferences, or habits that help your dog feel comfortable, I’m happy to follow them. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel familiar and well cared for.
