Enjoy the Outdoors? Let's go!
My name is Izzy (short for Elizabeth) and I live in Poulsbo with my Husband, our two Sons, and our dog Mickey! I have cared for pets my entire life! I retired from the Navy after 21 years in 2022 so my schedule is pretty flexible; plenty of time to hang out with our dog and any guests that we have visiting. We try to spend as much time outside as possible exploring; we hike as much as possible when weather allows and everyone is our care receives daily walks and plenty of play time! North Kitsap Heritage Park is close to us and one of our favorite spots to explore. If you choose us to care for your loved ones, we promise they will be cherished. There are comfy places to lounge in every room and plenty of toys for everyone to share and room for everyone to have fun! We lost our beloved dog Tucker to cancer after 12 years of adventure in August 2021! Both my Husband and I are well versed in administering medication and meeting the individual care needs of your pets. Its important to us that your mind is at ease while you are away...
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lizzie was a wonderful caregiver for our emotional mini-Aussie. She integrated her comfortably into the pack and was generous in sharing her extensive experience with dogs. Lucy had a great time.
Another great stay for my pup! Izzy and her family are the ones you want to leave your dog with if you want 5 star care
As usual Izzy is awesome!! Thank you!
Elizabeth is the best - totally helped me out with a last-minute request over the weekend. Great reviews lead me to choosing a great person with a loving safe home. Always a huge relief knowing that your fur baby is in good hands with caring people. Great communication with cute picture updates during the stay. Will definitely re-book.
Izzy has a way with dogs. Lewis gets that and we rest easy knowing he’s with someone who gets him.
I thought you should know that I had to euthanize Shadow yesterday, 2 days after his stay. If you had told me on his 2nd day that he was not well, I would not have added a day to his stay. Granted you didn't know how he usually acted but it was clear that he wasn't feeling well when I picked him up on the 4th day. He had a heart condition for which he took pills, and I knew he didn't have long but I wasn't prepared for the sudden change. When I left him he was acting normally, and If I could have known what would happen, I'd never have left him. My regret is that he endured an extra day of stress and I lost a day to comfort him and ease his anxiety. The vet thought the stress and anxiety of his stay likely exacerbated his heart condition and hastened the inevitable. There may have been too much activity for the little guy and he got lost in the shuffle. I hope this experience offers a take away for future stays.

We walk our dogs every morning and every afternoon; we are thankful for our location since it gives us access to tons of hikes and plenty of opportunities to get outside. It is important for us to know any quirks your pet(s) may have so we can ensure everyone stays happy and relaxed!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is on property just under an acre. It sits on a nice, quiet dead-end street that makes a great environment for walking all of our guests. The main level of our home is where our guests spend most of their time and has ample space for everyone to play.

A typical day
Written details with your expectations when you drop your family off are very important. Where does your dog like to sleep? Crate or bed? My bed? Any of these is okay. Is your dog a chewer? Friendly? It is important that you are able to enjoy your time away, sending pictures updates is no problem to put your mind at ease.
