Dogless Dog Lover 6BR Fenced Yard

Pet care experience

I love dog sitting and spoiling your family member(s). I have a fully fenced yard, and enjoy going for several walks a day. I am familiar with all types of dogs and can adjust to any demands your doggy needs. I have plenty of room in my house for your pup. I have 2 kids at home, a 15 and 8 year old. They love to spoil my clients. (They fight over who can sleep with our guest) So your dog must love kids and relish getting loads of attention! I am a stay at home Momma. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s). I promise my service will not disappoint! My hours for drop off and pick up times are 7am - 7pm. (Sorry, no exceptions) I do not provide food, so please bring enough for your pups stay. About this sitter: I love dogs and animals. I love the outdoors and keeping myself busy. We live by Magnuson Park, Burke Gilman, and all the fun areas the city holds. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend. My hours for drop off and pick up times are 7am - 7pm Must love kids and other dogs. I have been pet sitting for 20+ years. I love all animals, and adapt to their needs. Why I love dog sitting. I have the best job in the world. I get to love & spoil your furry family while you are away & I get paid for it. Win Win. Since we don't have a dog of our own, it is fun for the whole family. I am a stay at home Momma. About my yard I have a fully fenced yard. We spend hours a day in the backyard. My eight year old is obsessed with being outside & we love playing in the backyard. My backyard is dog & kid friendly. My hours for pick up and drop off times are 7am-7pm. My experience administering medication Yes. I used to administer meds to autistic kids, so giving to dogs is a piece of cake! My hours for drop off and pick up is 7am - 7pm.

Karen is excellent. Loki had a lot of fun and was very happy with Karen and her son Ronan. I’m sure Loki misses Ronans hugs. Thank you Karen and Ronan!

Karen was easy to work with and our dog obviously enjoyed her time with Karen and her family. She came home looking well loved and happy!

We are always so glad when Karen and her family can watch our dog Kiwi, and he is too - he sprints to their front door! Karen is easy to communicate and coordinate with, send frequent updates with pictures, and we have peace of mind when Kiwi is with her.

Information Karen W. would like to know about your pet

Must be kid friendly. Must like being around an eight year old. Can't be aggressive towards dogs or people. I don’t take aggressive breeds. Must love getting attention. I can’t sit for dogs that whine all day. I can’t sit for dogs that have accidents in the house. I can’t sit for dogs who bark all the time. My hours for drop off and pick up times are 7am-7pm.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks The end of our block you can jump onto Burke Gilman trail. We go to Matthews Beach 3+ times a week. Magnuson park is always a fun place to go, I just don't like it when it is on the weekends, too busy for me. I like to hike on I-90 corridor, Cougar, and Tiger Mountain are my go to hiking spots. We walk to Laurelhurst Park all the time, or just stroll the neighborhood. My hours for drop off and pick up times are 7am-7pm. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The kids take turns sleeping with my clients, they love it. The dogs are more than welcome in my room, they just usually gravitate to the kids. My hours for drop off and pick up times are 7am - 7pm. Time I'll spend with your dog 20+ hours
