HUGE Grass Yard Maple Valley homeFT
Hi there! I'm Jean and you can bring your dog to my house for individualized care. I have a beautiful, private, securely fenced-in grass yard on a 1/3 of an acre in a quiet neighborhood just outside the Maple Valley area near the new Ten Trails neighborhood. There are lots of shady and sunny spots to roam around in and discover, plus a large deck for relaxing. My house is completely dog friendly and newly remodeled to accommodate indoor play and relaxing. I'm originally from Montana, but have lived in Washington since 1996--first on Alki Beach and now in the delightfully wooded Maple Valley area. I've received two high tech degrees in Washington state since arriving and have worked in the high tech industry throughout my career. I'm semi-retired and stay at home full time, so I have a lot of time--and love-- to give to your beloved pets. The dogs and I enjoy relaxing on my large deck or playing fetch and chase with my labradoodle Lulu and Senior Greyhound Seoul on the expansive grassy lawn. During cold and rainy days, we stay inside and play and relax. We have a HUGE heart for tiny dogs and seniors as well. Our Zoey was a 17 years old Springer Spaniel when she passed away in May 2018. She was good-natured and didn’t mind having other furry friends around, even though she barked a little at the new dogs. She was 107 in human years, so she was just letting the new dogs know she's fragile. Our newest family members are Lulu (4 year old labradoodle) and Seoul Sister our adopted, lovable Senior Greyhound. Both LOVE to play with dogs of any age and size! However, I don’t take puppies that are yet too young to be vaccinated. This is for the protection of your puppy, as well as the dogs that stay here. ALL dogs MUST be fully vaccinated and up to date on preventatives. I'd love to set up a meet and greet with you to learn more about your special pup. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. ***I have a Big heart for senior dogs--my 17 year old Zoey was very dear to me. If your senior has severe issues with bowel or incontinence, I respectfully ask that we defer to puppy care rates because of the amount of time that will be dedicated to caring for, cleaning up after, and making your senior dog comfortable during their stay with me.**** ****Unfortunately, I am unable to take certain breeds including Pit Bulls. I know they are very sweet members of your family, but in my experience they often do not assimilate well with new environments, people, and numerous new dogs. If this describes your pup, Rover support can give you tips to help you navigate the site to find the perfect fit for you and your pup. *** Furbo Dog Camera **** Rover has rewarded me with a Furbo Dog Cam. I am one of only 100 sitters nationwide to be selected. "We want to thank you for being an amazing Rover sitter by sending you a free treat tossing Furbo dog camera."

Ratings and reviews
Ruby had a great stay at Jeans and enjoyed playing with the other dogs! We received alot of photos during her stay and will definitely use Jean in the future for overnight stays!
Jean did great. I can tell my pup was well cared for!
Jean took great care of our dogs. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics when we were away. We would definitely use her again.
Jean took great care of our dog and was great at communicating and sending pictures every day.
She made us comfortable leaving our dog there. It was the first time we had left our dog with a sitter. She also had a calming effect on our dog.
Jean is truly the best! We have booked her exclusively for Bali for the past few years, and I honestly can’t imagine trusting anyone else with her. Jean takes such wonderful care of Bali, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, capable hands. Bali absolutely loves her, and that says everything! We will continue booking with Jean for Bali’s entire life. We’re so grateful to have found her!

Schedule
I am a retired high-tech employee and pet care is my new full-time job. My typical drop off and pick up times are 10 am to 9 pm. If you need an early morning drop off, we can discuss how we can mutually accommodate both of our schedules. ***Please note, my Boarding rate charges are by the Calendar Day. We will discuss drop off and pick up times and the nominal additional charge. ***

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My huge grassy, landscaped yard is fully fenced with 6-foot chainlink fencing with an additional 8-foot wood privacy fence surrounding the backyard to provide a stress free, quiet surrounding. The interior of my home is completely dog friendly with stringent protocols in place for a safe and secure environment.
Pets
A typical day
Our grass yard is large and securely fenced, perfect for playtime and lounging in. We'll play ball, frisbee and chase, whatever your dog likes doing. If they want to rest in the yard and enjoy roaming and sniffing, we can definitely do that too! Inside is a casual, dog-friendly environment for low key play and tug of war, and lots of love and cuddles. I take MANY pictures of all of the dogs throughout the day and you’ll receive many of my favorites in the evening. Feel free to check in any time and I’ll send you a quick update and picture of our current events.
