Jim works from home and he keeps weekday hours. Jim usually walks dog guests every morning before 7:30 am in the Arboretum. We then feed dog guests with breakfast and a treat, while we make coffee for the household and have a bit of breakfast for myself. Jim also gives dog guests a mid-day mini walk and then feed them once more around 6pm. Thereafter we enjoy each other's company for the rest of the evening, before we walk our dog guests once more before bedtime. We frequently have other dogs from around the Puget Sound stay with us when their primary caregivers are away, so its easy for us to accommodate another dog or two.

Jackie and James took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away. Their calm, attentive approach put both our pups and us at ease. They sent regular updates and photos, followed feeding instructions precisely, and clearly treated our dogs like they were apart of their family. Their home felt safe and welcoming, and we came back to a happy, relaxed dogs. We highly recommend Jackie and James to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate sitters.

Amazing rover! Communication, flexibility, and punctual. My dog is usually shy and warmed up immediately. I felt my dog was safe and in good hands. I recommend and will use again thank you!

Thanks for taking wonderful care of Ollie! He thoroughly enjoyed his mini holiday staycation while we were away. Jim and Jackie were very attentive to keeping to Ollie's regular schedule and he got along very well with Nyla. We will definitely ask them to care for Ollie again!
