I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up with a Lab, which shaped my early understanding of dog behavior and care. As an adult, I raised my own dog, Juniper, from a puppy. She’s a rescue, and working with her has given me hands-on experience with training, routines, and daily care. I also regularly foster dogs through various Seattle area rescues, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments. Because my own dog can be fearful at first, I understand the importance of moving at each dog’s pace, building trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. Juniper is friendly and does great with foster dogs, and my older cat tends to keep to himself when we have other pets or guests over. I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day and won’t be left alone for more than three hours. I also have a crate available if that’s part of your dog’s routine. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, providing a safe and peaceful space for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I treat every dog like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and thoughtful care while you’re away.
