Pet care experience

Constant care & early/late drop off

**I DO NOT TAKE DOGS THAT ARE NOT GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS. Growing up we had a wide range of dogs, from large breeds like German Shepherds, Dobermans, an Old English Sheepdog, Huskies to miniature Dachshunds, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Honestly the Huskies prepare you for anything. I’ve also fostered and cared for cats with complex medical needs like FIV, renal failure, and allergies, which taught me how to administer medication reliably and recognize subtle signs of distress. *if injected medications are needed my EMS trained partner will be the one operating the syringe.

Schedule

I rarely let myself take a day off so unless I’m on vacation, everything I do is planned around the dogs I’m caring for.

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding/Daycare My home is well-equipped with a fully fenced backyard, a large separate fenced off kennel space with two dog houses, and multiple crate sizes if you need them crated at bedtime. I feed all dogs separate from one another behind baby gates in different rooms. We only give the pups filtered water from our brita pitcher. Drop ins/Walks I feel weird being in peoples houses so I will not touch or open any drawers/doors I was not given explicit instructions to. For walks I aim to get the dog leashed up and out the door in under a minute.

A typical day

I’m located right next to Ravenna Park and Dahl Playfields, and conveniently situated between Magnuson and Greenlake Parks. There are plenty of great areas in my neighborhood to keep your dog entertained! My boyfriend and I bring all the dogs along when we run errands, grab food, or go anywhere dogs are welcome.

Specifically any triggers they may have, their favorite toys, and any unique quirks that make them special. Additionally, knowing their daily routine will help me maintain consistency and minimize any feelings of being out of place.
