Ratings and reviews
Another great experience, thank you Craig!!
Craig was extremely loving to our corgi, Gigi. He was communicative, welcoming and showered her with affection. We will definitely rely on Craig again!
Craig is consistent in his care and attention every time our pup stays with him! We always feel very comfortable knowing that Craig is taking such great care and we are extra assured by his communication!
Craig was kind, attentive, and thorough in his care for Baker. Baker was so relaxed upon picking him up! Craig had great communication and made our pup so happy. We would highly recommend Craig to anyone with an anxious dog!!
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.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
A typical day
I have a fully fenced, and secured back yard, big enough to play fetch in. There are many miles of wooded trails in my neighborhood & I am within walking distance of an 82-acre county park.
