Experience: With over 30 years of dedicated experience in animal husbandry and clinical support, I offer a unique blend of veterinary expertise and compassionate care. Working as a former Veterinary Assistant at a local clinic in Sequim, I have extensive hands-on experience in high-stakes environments, including surgical assistance and anesthesia monitoring. My clinical background extends to administering vaccinations for both canine and equine patients, assisting with many different procedures, and managing complex needs such as dog birthing and specialized training.

My experience spans a wide variety of breeds, from Golden Labs to Pitbulls, ensuring a versatile approach to temperament and breed-specific requirements. Beyond Animal Care: Technical & Humanitarian Background In addition to my clinical animal work, I hold a robust technical foundation with a Degree in Computer Applications Technology and several specialized diplomas, including: IT Support & Help Desk Specialist Graphic and Web Design Microsoft Office Specialist IBM Blockchain Practitioner Certification My professional journey also includes significant experience in human healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Med Tech.

Mission & Vision My lifelong passion is rooted in animal advocacy, a journey that began with volunteering for the SPCA in South Africa. My ultimate goal remains the establishment of a dedicated facility for abused and abandoned animals. I live by the motto: "Animals will never let you down," and I strive to mirror that loyalty in the care I provide.

Ratings and reviews
From the time I dropped my dogs off until I picked them up, I knew they were being well taken care of. They instantly started playing and feeling comfortable. Belinda’s facility is well structured for dogs to have play time and well as rest time. I will definitely have my boys stay with Belinda in the future!
My dogs had a great time and came back happy and safe! Belinda is very sweet and kind and clearly loves animals. Felt very lucky to find her place so close to home!
Our dogs had a great time! They got lots of play tome and we recieved daily updates with pictures on how our dogs were doing. They both came home happy and healthy!
Lucy had a 2+ week stay and all went well. She also met some new dog friends :)
Belinda is a wonderful and communicative sitter. Her facility is extraordinary. I highly recommend her.
Max and Chrisy seemed to have a great time with Belinda. We would book again if returning to the area.

Schedule
I am able to take care of your dog(s) inside of my home @ (Holiday rate), in the outdoor paddocks that have their own heated dog house, or if you prefer in my indoor heated/cooled kennels. I am home 24/7 everyday, all day. Taking care of your dogs is what I do 24/7. I have no other jobs, so I am available to spend all of my time with your dog(s).

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
About my Kennels: I have built four (4) indoor kennels, 16ft x 3ft each. The indoor kennels have underfloor heating for the cold winter months and air-conditioning for the hot summer months. I also have four (4) outdoor sheltered private paddocks, all of which have super extra-large dog houses in each of the paddocks, that are heated as well. I only accept four (4) dogs at any given time to ensure they are well taken care of. All the dogs are carefully monitored 24/7, and I have video surveillance cameras that I monitor when I am in my office, for the safety of your dogs!
A typical day
I have brand new outdoor runs with heated kennels for your little fur babies. To keep them safe, snug, warm, and to enable them to get some outdoor fun time in the sun. Your fur baby will get exercised every 3 hours right up until 10 pm. The day starts at 5:30 am, whereby your dog will get their first potty break and run of the day. Breakfast follows at 6 am. Thereafter, potty breaks are given every 2-3 hours throughout the day. Dinner is at 4 - 5 pm, followed by a long potty break, which includes light exercise. The dogs turn in for the evening around 5 pm in winter and 7 pm in summer.
