West Seattle old dog lover 💖

Dogs are people too! I may only treat people in my online mental health practice, but I give considerable attention to detail, emotional and physical attunement to dogs I babysit. Safety, attention, warmth, predictability, and comfort are key.

Emma was great with Rolo! 16 days of adventures and we got the pictures to prove it! Her daily updates let us know he was happy and felt at home. Emma was flexible and communicative, and we apologize once again for Rolo taking most of the bed.

Doggy Day Care • May 04, 2026

Emma is incredible with Oogie. From pickup to drop-off, the whole experience feels smooth, thoughtful, and grounded. She sends fun photos from throughout the day, which gives us an extra sense of ease, and Oogie comes home happy, fulfilled, and wonderfully tired. You can feel that Emma brings real care, presence, and attunement to what she does. She creates a day that feels safe, joyful, and well-held for Oogie, and that means a lot. We will gladly book with her again.

Emma was awesome! She sent us daily updates and I could tell she was treating our sweet Maple with so much care. She even bought her some fun treats to have during her stay. Would definitely book again!

Phoebe (my pup) loves Emma. We are repeat customers of Emma and will continue to leverage her kindness and care whenever we leave town. Great communication, always asking us prior to introducing new treats to Phoebe, great photos. Cannot recommend strongly enough.

Another fantastic stay with Emma. As always she takes amazing care of our four-legged family member. Emma sent regular updates and photos. Our pup just loves spending time with Emma and we cannot recommend her enough. A+++ experience.

Schedule

I work from home and have less than 5 meetings a day and have frequent breaks between calls to tend to myself and doggos! I’m right on Alki so have access to a great walking path!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 2 bedroom apartment, a patio that’s so small that pets don’t go out there but if they did they couldn’t get through the railing. Options for residential or beach walks (always on leash).

A typical day

I love to play! If a dog parent brings their toys you best believe they will be played with! I also love walks of any length and am up for an energetic pace or if I’m taking a little oldie out for a stroll where we pause every 3 minutes for a sniff.

I definitely need to know any food/treat allergies, medication details, how frequently someone needs a potty break, etc. No breed preferences ✌🏻 but I do love, love, love my senior citizen babies. They have my heart.
