Highlights
Pet care experience
Hello furry friends!
My home is convenient to and from the airport, just a few minutes off I-5. Your pup will get my one on one time and attention with movie and cuddle time, play time inside and out in the large, fully fenced backyard, and if they're up for walks then those too! Does your pup like to hike? Im happy to take them on trail if so. I work from home as a data engineer for UW fundraising teams and have 3 day weekends that allow me lots of flexibility and availability to be there for your pups. Once a week I do have a partial office day, and I will leave the house for up to 8 hours on those days. I offer boarding and daycare, with up to 4 dogs at a time. All dogs must come from the same house/family. For daycare, that is pet parent drop off and pick up. I've had my own dogs in the past - large, 85 lb dogs and smaller 35 lb dogs. I'm not ready to be a full time pet parent again but I still love hanging out with furry friends around the house. If your pup is active we can go hiking, walking, trail running, or we can just hang out at home, watch movies, eat snacks, and explore the backyard. *I have cared for sick pups in the past, including my own, and have experience giving oral medications and shots. Please only pups that are potty trained, spayed/neutered, ok in a crate for when I have to leave the house, and not aggressive or destructive. I can't wait to meet your sweet pup!

Ratings and reviews
Even after meeting Callista briefly we were comfortable leaving our two dogs with her for almost a week. We have one shy girl and one escape artist, and they both did so well with her. We couldn’t be happier to have found Callista and we’re so relieved to have a reliable sitter! I 100% recommend Callista. Thank you!!
Callista takes wonderful care of our pup, who really enjoys being at her home! He always comes home well fed and content. We appreciate the daily pictures, too! She's great about communicating with us.
Callista was so easy to work with, super nice, and very quick with responses. My boy didn’t want to leave at the time of pick up!
Callista was a wonderful Rover and really helped take care of our girl, Olive. Would book with her again in the future!
Callista is a good communicator, shares frequent updates, and is accommodating to travel plans. Our dogs enjoyed their visit!
Callista was wonderful and took great care of my young dog. He can be an anxious dog, but it was clear in her pictures of him that he was comfortable and happy in her care.

Schedule
I am usually home and work remotely most days, and during those times am able to provide a potty break every 2-4 hours. However I also leave the house a 2-3 times a week for 3-8 hours at a stretch so your pup will need to be able to go for that long. I work from home as a programmer and am up away from my desk once every hour, and take breaks to go outside for a few minutes every 2-4 hours, so a dog friend fits nicely into that routine. If I'm not working I'm usually busy in the yard, running errands (with a furry friend), or walking around in a forest. I love taking pets to do their favorite activities.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fully fenced yard with shady and sunny spots, and air conditioning inside for those hot summer days - all 3 weeks of them.
A typical day
I wake early and spend an hour or two reading, making coffee, exercising, etc and then get to work. I'm at my desk for 1-2 hours at a time and break regularly to sit outside on the patio, go for a walk or run, or play music. Evenings I usually cook dinner by myself or with friends, or maybe go to the park or out for a drink or to see a show for a couple hours and then I'm back home for sleep! Weekends mean lots of outdoor time both at home and in parks!
