Snuggles and Daily Dog Park Visits
Pet care experience
I live near Magnuson Off Leash area, so there are daily visits to the park (1-2). I am home much of the time on weekends, so I'm available to give your dog all the attention he/she wants. I have a sweet, older whippet who is welcoming of other dogs (especially other sighthounds). Why I love dog sitting Lifetime dog lover. Grew up with collies and have had my whippet for 6 years now. I dog sit periodically for friends and neighbors and thought I'd cast a wider net. Meet my pets An older whippet. About my yard No yard per se, but I live across the street from Magnuson Park. It has a nine acre off-leash dog area with special areas for small/shy dogs and water access. My experience administering medication yes. I've only ever given pills, but could do injectables with instruction.
Reviews
Darcie was great! She took wonderful care of our dog and even sent pix and updates to let us know everything was going well. We will definitely reach out to her again for our next trip. Thanks, Darcie!
Darcie took amazing care of Harper (our dog) and totally understood her needs. We're so used to Harper coming back from boarding a little stressed out a frazzled but Harper seemed almost unconvinced with was worth leaving and coming back home. Will absolutely look to book with Darcie again in the future.
Darcie was wonderful! She was super accommodating, gave my pup a lot of TLC, and kept me posted about their adventures while I was away. I highly recommend Darcy - five stars!!
Darcie was great for Monty. He had a fantastic time and was wiped out when he got home. Everything was very easy. Highly recommend.

Information Darcie J. would like to know about your pet
I have a whippet, so sighthounds are ALWAYS welcome. I would prefer dogs that are dog-friendly and leash-trained. I'm especially fond of senior dogs and enjoy their company. My building has an elevator, so no worries about having to navigate stairs. I live on the third floor and my building has indoor hallways and self-closing doors, so if you have an escape artist, they wouldn't be able to get outside without opposable thumbs. :)
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Most of the time we walk in Magnuson Park, but if your dog is not good with other dogs, we can go around the View Ridge neighborhood or down the Burke Gilman Trail. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Anywhere he/she wants! I've got dog beds and no furniture is off limits, so they have their choice. My dog sleeps in my bed and I'm comfortable with an extra if that's what they're used to. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home much of the day on weekends, so I'm available for lots of scritch and scratch. I also make 1-2 daily trips to the dog park for about an hour. I work full-time on weekdays, but can make it home for a lunchtime potty break.
