We welcome your pet family member.
Pet care experience
Hi, I have a Blue Heeler in residence. He's particularly good with smaller dogs. He's older, but still manages to keep up with a brisk walk. He's walked at least an hour a day. Your doggie family member can join us on our daily walk. I've had over 13 years experience now as a dog parent, and have faced all forms of events and sometimes emergencies with my family. Tohdor is a chocaholic which is bad for dogs. Thanks to his tastes for chocolate, I've learned how to administer syrup of ipecac. Dealing with the diverse personalities of my kids prepares me well to help you with yours. I'm a tech professional, and have been using Rover.com for a while. Now I'm trying to see if I can help others in the same way I've received help on Rover.com Comfortable with feeding raw diets. We're near many parks and Lake Union. Very dog friendly in the neighborhood with many doggie waste stations along sidewalks and in the many parks surrounding the area.

Barbar a Jack Russell Terrier started out as my father's dog. That lasted until my father no longer could keep up. But the little guy added many years of quality time to my father's life. Meet my pets In residence is my dog Tohdor a Blue Heeler and he's 11 years old. He's very good with smaller dogs as he's used to a Chihuahua little sister. Located in South Lake Union, convenient to many parks. Denny dog park within walking distance. About my yard I have access to a relief area right out the door for dogs. My experience administering medication Yes, for Tohdor I adminster Novox daily twice a day.
Reviews
They did it again!! Don and Liz took such good care of my dogs like they were their own. After Don and Liz, I don’t know if I can trust anybody else. They are wonderful people and expert dog sitters. Thankful for them.
Don and Liz are AMAZING. They go above and beyond for your dogs as if they are their own. We were impressed by their knowledge and love for dogs. They were communicative and we have never been so relieved during a trip knowing our dogs were well taken care of. Thank you so much, Don and Liz!!
Best Sitter EVER! When i'm out of town, I normally go to Don.
Don is Awesome! Rocco had a great time! It's obvious Don knows and loves dogs. Highly recommended!

Please update on any behavioral anxieties. My Tohdor by nature is anxious, so I'm fine with dealing with dogs that are needing extra attention.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Tohdor and I walk a variety of routes around Lake Union and the surrounding area. I try to get him in with at 2 miles daily. My goal is to walk him 4-6 miles daily. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Let me know. Bring your dog's favorite bed, or I have blankets available for use during the stay. I don't mind dogs sleeping with me. Tohdor's off the bed right now because he's shedding heavily, and I was getting hairballs in my throat. Time I'll spend with your dog My schedule is flexible. If I don't have meetings booked, normally I spend it working in coffee shops. Either your dog can join me at dog-friendly coffee shops or I can work from home during the duration of your dog's stay.
