About Craig W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Lots of love & attention. I will play with the dog as much as it wishes. If the dog is allowed on furniture & it wants to be there near me, we will share the sofa together evenings watching TV. I live within walking distance of Willis Tucker Park, Snohomish WA, and won't take the dog to any dog to the off-leash areas. My home is calm & quiet. TV only comes on in the evening & due to my hearing loss, I stream the audio. I will share my bed with the dog. I live in a Rambler should a dog have a problem with stairs.

Reviews
Craig was great with Quincy! She is an anxious 10 year old mid size Labradoodle that has only stayed with family before staying with him. He had no other dogs at his home which was also a plus. He worked on training her with the leash since she pulls with me. He played games with her , had doggie toys and let her have the run of his house. A great experience!
Craig was wonderful and is huge a dog lover! He had us over to his house before hand and gave a full tour. Communication was good and he gave very thorough feedback about everything including how our pup ate, drank, walked, bathroom, and any other behaviors.
Our Jasper had an excellent stay with Craig! We met beforehand and let Jasper get comfortable with where he would be staying and got to chat with Craig and get to know him a bit. Craig was very good at walking us through all the care and attention that Jasper would receive and answered all my questions. We felt very safe leaving our pup with him. I would recommend others to reach out to Craig for his services and we will definitely use his sitting services again too.
Craig was so amazing with my dog Pepper. He watched her for over a week and sent photos and updates. I felt that she was in great care and will be having Craig as her future sitter.
