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."
