One-on-One Care For Dogs
Pet care experience
Please read the following if you are interested in the day-care or overnight boarding option: If you have a medium to large sized dog who needs one-on-one attention, you've got the right person! My name is Heather, and I am a proud dog mom of a 2 year old Ridgeback-Coonhound mix pup named Izzy. I work from home as an artist, and I am used to caring for a very mischievous and high-energy dog. If your dog is friendly with other dogs, this will be a great match. I believe in positive reinforcement training, and my pets are like people to me. My home is "puppy proofed" with nearly EVERYTHING put away in closed-lid containers at all times. My pets are also current on their shots. We only do dog treats here, no table scraps! Please let me know if your pooch has special dietary needs. You will need to bring a sufficient supply of food for your dog to eat, and one bowl for the food. There is a shared water bowl, and I have an extra water bowl if the pups need to drink separately. We have a cat named Aries who keeps to himself for most of the day. He is curious and friendly but doesn't do well with other cats. So, we can only board dogs here. Additionally, I only have energy to care for one extra dog at a time. FOR EXTENDED STAYS (3 nights or more): Exercise is a number one priority for me when I'm caring for larger dogs. If your pup is staying with me for more than 3 days, you will notice that my fee increases. This is to cover two 1.5 mile walks with your dog daily, to ensure that they are well-behaved in my home and to prevent excessive roughhousing with Izzy. Your doggo will get very much one-on-one attention with me, and will be nice and tired and pooped upon pick-up. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to connect and go over any special concerns you may have.
Reviews
Heather and her dog, Izzy, were great! We could tell that Heather wanted to make sure that our Dorothy had a good stay and we appreciated her looking out after our energetic puppy. And with Izzy's help, we also got a tired puppy who went fast to sleep when we got home. We would not hesitate to use Heather and Izzy again for a dog sit!

Information Heather E. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know how your dog plays with other dogs. I do have my own 55 pound hound, she is high energy and shy dogs or nervous dogs will be difficult to accommodate in my home.
A typical day
We typically hike the Tolt-Pipeline trail nearby 3-4 times a day (about 1.5 miles each time). We usually go to a dog park 3 times a week in Bellevue or Kirkland or Bothell, just depending on traffic and time of day.
