A tail-waggin good time of a walk
Pet care experience
I started dog sitting for my grandparent’s Havanese puppy at the age of 10 I have three dogs at home ranging from age 2 to 9 and love them with all my heart. I enjoy taking them on walks and runs and even hold my smallest (a grouchy chihuahua/shitzu) when his little feet get too tired. I always use two hands on a leash during walks (no matter the size) and I can be more stern on walks if you’re training for obedience or I can also have a leisurely walk with your dog and let them smell ~every~ bush. I clean between their pads during baths and I am generous with scratches. I work from home and have a cat (which is lovely) but I find myself constantly yearning for the unique love and companionship only a dog can offer. I look forward to brightening your pup’s day, as I know they will certainly brighten mine.
Reviews
Excellent communication, flexible, and our cats & dog loved her! Usually our cats don’t come out for sitters (they hide, upset that we’re gone), but they came out for her multiple times :)
Sparky had a great time!
Kalia did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Tango, for two weeks while we were out of the country. She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and he came back happy and healthy. What more could you ask for? We would definitely use Kalia again and recommend her highly.
Kalia was fantastic with my pup while I was out of town and made sure he had a wonderful holidays! Super thorough updates and very easy drop off process.

ALL DOGS BOARDING AND ATTENDING DOGGY DAYCARE MUST GET ALONG WITH CATS Pet safety is very important for both pets and people that they interact with. One of my family dogs has very high anxiety and can be aggressive so I have a lot of experience on crating him in case of company, and making sure that he can still enjoy the world without being approached without his consent. **I am not accepting boardings for poodles and poodle mixes at this time, sorry for the inconvenience!**

Information Kalia H. would like to know about your pet
ALL DOGS BOARDING AND ATTENDING DOGGY DAYCARE MUST GET ALONG WITH CATS Are they friendly with other dogs? Do they have a strict diet (no human treats)? My dog gets moody and will pee in the house if something in his day changes, should I keep my eye out for markings during my stay?
A typical day
I love a nice long walk! My favorite style of walking is a meandering in any direction that they choose. Letting them smell every single bush and light post brings me joy and even prompts me to be more mindful and intentional with my time outdoors. I really enjoy providing enrichment (I used to work at the Seattle Aquarium) so thinking up really fun ideas to stimulate their brains and senses is a fun way for me to watch them problem solve and for them to have a treat!

I work from home part time and have a ton of time to spend with animals! I crave the incentive to get out of bed and complete a task with purpose.
