We both work flexible remote jobs and spend 6 out of 7 days at home. When we do choose to go in-office, it's usually just to get out of the house. Because of our flexible jobs, we are able to build our schedules around puppy care and senior care needs.

Safety, trust & environment

We're happy to provide boarding and daycare at our home or at your home! Wherever your pups are most comfortable with. Walking visits are also available if we can arrange a regular schedule so it can be worked into our work calendars! For all services, we will ask you for your dog’s daily routine, their personality quirks, preferences, etc. so they can trust us sooner! And of course, we will send photos! Daycare, housesitting, and overnight stays would be structured around your pup’s existing schedule. Walks and check-ins would occur as close to your pup’s schedule as possible with the time range you choose. We are experienced with both puppies (hard minimum age of 8 weeks) and senior dogs that have a range of diet, potty, and oral medication needs. We are also experienced with reactive dogs with a history of biting. However, we only take reactive dogs on a case-by-case basis after a trial meet and greet walk with you (the human) present. We live in a very pet-friendly apartment complex that has a dog spa station that we use for grooming visiting pups. Our own apartment is a spacious 1100+ square foot 2 bed/2 bath apartment with a patio that has space for up to 2-3 dogs for boarding. We live near a very walkable neighborhoods and 2 parks that are dog friendly. We also live near Edmonds and enjoy taking dogs to the beach if they are a fan of humans and water.

Information Ellyssa & Anthony T. would like to know about your pet

Please send us a message with your dog’s daily routine, their personality quirks, preferences, etc. so they can trust us sooner! The services will all be structured around the information you send us about them. :) It would also be helpful to send us a photo of your pup, their level of reactivity around humans/dogs, and any special needs. We are happy to accommodate whenever we can!

A typical day

Daycare, housesitting, and overnight stays would be structured around your pup’s existing schedule. Walks and check-ins would occur as close to your pup’s schedule as possible with the time range you choose. We have a basket of enrichment treat toys as well as toys for both soft and hard chewers that your pup is free to use throughout the day! We love to use enrichment toys throughout the day and play lots of catch. Walks can be short or long depending on what your pup needs. We’re very used to pups who need to find all the new smells in the neighborhood. We also have multiple parks within a 30-40min walk that my partner and I love walking to and are happy to take your pup to explore!

Skilled dog fosters ready to pupsit

Pet care experience

Hello! We are Hunter and Ellyssa. Just a married couple that grew up with farm animals and loves dogs. Together, we've fostered 4 rescue dogs - some reactive, some super calm - and raised them to become ready for their forever homes! We don't have any pups of our own right now and so we are welcoming all kinds of pups in our home! Ellyssa (uh-Lisa) has taken care of doberman's and dachshunds since she was 11 years old. She loves every type of dog personality and looks forward to dog walks as much as the dogs. She has helped rescue dogs from Mexico and has fostered over 10 dogs of varying ages from 4 months to 13 years old senior dogs. Hunter grew up with 2 golden retrievers named Rosie & Susie and then became a dog trainer for search and rescue dogs in North Carolina. He's helped train puppies up until they were 3 years old and loves to learn about every dog's quirks.

They were so sweet with Corvo and Lupus and provided fantastic care. We felt completely confident leaving our pups in their hands and would love to book with them again.

We had a great experience with both house and dog sitting. Both dogs were well cared for and we received many photos and updates while we were away. This was a huge decision for me to have my pets cared for in my home and I am very happy with the decision. The pets were happy and I can’t wait to book with Ellyssa and Hunter.

Ellyssa and Hunter took wonderful care of our Dachshund, Bentley, while house-sitting. They were communicative, professional, respectful of our home, and incredibly kind and patient with Bentley's quirks. They quickly understood his personality, and he warmed up to them right away - playing, lounging in the sun, and enjoying plenty of blanket snuggles. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was so comfortable and well cared for while we were away. We've already booked them for our next trip and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters!

Ellyssa and Anthony are amazing with my dog, Knox. He gets excited every time we turn the corner on their street. They not only care for him but seek opportunities to enrich his time with needed exercise and active play time. Thank you for also being flexible with care when my schedule fluctuates.
