A loving place in central Bellevue
Pet care experience
I have many years of experience caring for puppies, adult and senior dogs. I have a special place in my heart for small breeds and have had a Maltese and Chiweenie as part of my own family in the past. Prior to that I loved my Blue Healer Allie who had diabetes and required daily blood tests, insulin injections and a strict diet. I have a lot of experience working with anxious dogs. I apply several techniques to ease a dog into comfort and take their mind off their troubles. I can help dogs that suffer separation anxiety become comfortable within a couple of hours. Pick up and drop off can be an anxious time for any dog so I do all I can to make it fast and easy. Most of the time my clients never have to park their car and can just pull up to a quiet area at my building and hand-off. This can be very convenient if you are on your way to the airport or a business meeting.
Reviews
David is always amazing! Finn loves him and we know he’s always in good hands with David.
David took care of Nina with so much love. We're pretty sure she had a wonderful time with him. Being away from Nina wasn't easy (we missed her deeply!), but David sent a lot of pictures and messages and this helped ease our feelings.
This is my second time to have David look after Peppi and Peppi is happy to hang out with David. I love for David to look after Peppi again and again.
David was very generous in his time with Nico and accommodating to our needs. He kept me updated throughout Nico’s stay but more importantly, kept Nico engaged and happy. Drop off and pick up was incredibly easy and convenient, despite being in the middle of the city.

I only host one dog family at a time so I can give the most secure and comfortable stay for your sweetie. If you have two dogs, that's great. No need to break up the team.

A typical day
Working from home can be heaven for a lazy dog who enjoys looking out the window, playing tug of war, cuddling and sleeping in. I need exercise too, so a couple of trips to the park and a run around the block with a furry exercise buddy is also in the mix. If your dog needs frequent potty breaks more often than every two hours, I can have a patch of grass for them on my patio.

I work from home in central Bellevue and enjoy walks to the park. I would love to have the company of your furry friend. My special needs sister lives with me part-time and also enjoys caring for and playing with dogs. No alone time, even for the neediest dog.
