Information Ellen E. would like to know about your pet

I watch my girlfriend's dog and have been doing so for several years. I have always had a pet. When I was younger we always had a dog and I have always had a dog or cat since I was out on my own. I love the companionship of having a pet in my home. They truly are our best friends. I believe having another dog in our home will keep my dog entertained and will provide company when we are not home. We have a fenced back yard for the dogs to run and play in. I also like to take the dogs for a walk or even go to a dog park. With this in mind, it is nice to know a dog's food motivation, activity level, comfort with walks, exercise, and any special needs or concerns. We are accustomed to working with pets who have a range of personalities, so would like to know any particular unique traits in advance. After that, we are generally able to properly welcome them upon a first meet and greet.

A typical day

My style would be to treat the dog I am siting as a member of the family. One who is welcome in my home and is able to go outside frequently for fresh air and exercise. Enjoy interacting and playing with the dog.

Pet care experience

We are a retired couple who live in Fairwood West in Renton. We own our home and live in a small community where there are 12 homes and a dead end street. There is very little traffic due to our small community. There are lots of places to walk and even trails. We have a fenced back yard and would enjoy having a playmate for our dog Teddie! We would take good care of your family member! We would give the same care to your dog as we do our own. You will have the two of us tending to your pet and making sure that they are safe, happy and at home! We both have had dogs in our home our entire lives and really believe they are man's best friend! We look forward to meeting you. Please provide shot record of your pet.

Would recommend! Ellen and Larry were so nice and welcoming to our dog into their home. Through her pictures I could tell our dog was very comfortable with them, thank you so much!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ellen and her husband while I was away this past week. From start to finish, they were incredibly attentive, communicative, and thoughtful. I received consistent updates, photos, and check-ins, and they were always quick to ask questions or clarify anything to make sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing my dog was in such capable, caring hands. Their attention to detail and genuine love for animals really showed, and I could tell my dog was happy, safe, and relaxed the entire time. I came home to a very well-cared-for pup—and had total peace of mind while I was gone. I’m so grateful for the care they provided and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with them again. Highly, highly recommend.
