Daycare downtown, Ballard boarding

Pet care experience

**DAYCARE** I'm more than happy to coordinate/accommodate 9 am - 5 pm daycare requests, but care will happen in an office setting. I work in an EXTREMELY dog-friendly office in Belltown. Ideally, drop-off and pick-up are downtown so as not to deal with transport during rush hours. **BOARDING** A rare born-and-raised Seattle-ite. My wife and I live in Ballard with our two boys. We used to have a rat terrier who we raised for nine years. Her name was Boo. She was the queen of the household and never left our side. She traveled with us on the road, joined us on multi-day backpacking trips, and spent weekends on the mountains with us. One day, we'll find a furry 3rd child to add to our household. For now, we'll happily watch over your dog while you're away. Sometimes we will make day trips east for short hikes. It would be great to know if you're comfortable having your dog transported in a vehicle. Rest assured your dog would be transported securely if you are OK with it.

Derek is great with animals. Having owned a dog himself, he knows exactly how to give furry pups the attention they need. I'd trust him with my dog's life.

Information Derek P. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any leash aggression? Is your dog reactive to other dogs? Is your dog comfortable around people? The block we live on has a few other dogs. It would be great to know if we need to avoid being outside at the same time as other families (and their dogs). Does your dog get along with small children? We have two little kids, both under 5 – both comfortable around and love playing with dogs.

A typical day

We try and spend a lot of time outside (weather permitting). Our routine walks take us all over the heart of Ballard.
