Highlights
Pet care experience
Canine behavioralist,home full time
Hi, I’m Elle! I’m a certified canine behavioralist and passionate about fur babies. My husband and I both work from home which allows us to provide an abundance of attention and love while you’re away. We understand that each dog is unique and work to accommodate all types of dogs by providing a space that makes them feel the most comfortable. Your pup is never left alone when they stay with us and have access to all furniture/beds in the house. We have a fenced back yard for your pup to play and they are always supervised outside. I check in with updates and pics about twice per day/stay so you know your pet is doing well. Our home features 3 decks and two fully furnished living areas that serves as additional play/hang out space. I've grown up with German Shepherd's my entire life, one of which I helped train as a seeing eye dog. Over the years, I've raised and lived with the following dog breeds: Beagle, Jack Russell, Border Collie, Daschund, Black Lab and a Yorkie. I'm comfortable giving medications and working with any special needs your dog may have. PLEASE READ ****We do require any new pup boarding with us for 2 nights or more to have a “practice” daycare and overnight before boarding. For any overnight boarding, we ask that pick up be done by 10am. If you need the pick up to be later than 10am, a daycare charge is added on. I do offer local pickup and drop offs if needed for an extra fee. Currently we are not boarding pups under 1 year old. Our preferred drop off and pickup hours are between 8:30am-7pm. ****

Ratings and reviews
Gigi is a very sensitive and smart dog, so I was especially impressed by how well she adapted in this environment. Elle was calm, observant, and gave me thoughtful detail about how the visit went. She helped Gigi settle in and handled the husband coming in and out in a way that allowed Gigi to stay calm and adjust well. I really appreciated her communication and would absolutely trust her with Gigi again.
Elle is top notch. She's more of a dog whisperer than an actual human. If we ever find out that we can have two way conversations with dogs, it will be Elle that makes the discovery. Our sweet pooch loves going over to her canine chateau. It's filled with love, attention, care, and the type of respectful pampering treatment usually reserved for veteran spa goers. She's as good as it gets. So if your pooch wants a great place to go, take her/him/them to Elle.
Our dog Ahsoka always has such a good time at Elle's!
Elle took great care of our dog - she even treated him with a holiday stocking! Very professional, and great with communication.
Elle has been amazing—from our first virtual meeting to just picking up our dog after her first day of day care—we’ve been so impressed with Elle’s knowledge, responsiveness, and immediate understanding of our dog and her needs. Thank you Elle!
Very professional and our baby's body language says it all: when we drop him off, he pulls super hard to go into Elle's place! He doesn't even look back to say goodbye!

A typical day
We love to walk around West Seattle or take short road trips to dog-friendly beaches in Edmonds and Seattle. We have a front and back yard that offer ample room to play fetch and/or take a siesta in the sun or shade.
