Availability

As a stay-at-home dad, I’m home most of the day to give visiting dogs plenty of love, attention, and supervision. Mornings start with playtime and a walk to get tails wagging. Throughout the day, we include walks, yard time, games, and plenty of exercise to keep pups happy and engaged. In the evenings, we enjoy long walks at beautiful Battle Point Park or along wooded trails, followed by cozy snuggles to help every dog wind down feeling safe and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a securely fenced section of our yard for safe, supervised play, and dogs are always leashed when outside that area. Visiting pups meet our two friendly resident dogs gradually, ensuring a smooth and comfortable introduction for everyone. If dogs need their own space, we have plenty of separate areas inside the house to keep them relaxed and stress-free. Someone is almost always home to supervise, and walks at beautiful Battle Point Park or nearby wooded trails give every dog fresh air, exercise, and enrichment in a safe environment.

Information Karl K. would like to know about your pet

We want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in our home, so please share anything that will help me care for your pup just like you would. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medical conditions, medications, and any quirks or preferences they have around other dogs, kids, or new environments. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel just like home.

A typical day

Your dog’s day with us is full of activity, love, and care. We start the morning with playtime and a walk to get tails wagging. Throughout the day, there’s walks, plenty of yard time in our fenced section, games with our two boys, and play with our friendly resident dogs. In the evenings, we enjoy long walks at beautiful Battle Point Park or along wooded trails, giving your pup fresh air and exercise before settling in for cozy snuggles at home. Every day ends with a happy, tired dog who feels safe and loved — just like they would with their own family.

Loving Family Dog Care & Fenced Fun

Pet care experience

In our home, dogs aren’t just guests — they’re family. We live on a quiet private street on Bainbridge Island with a spacious yard, including a securely fenced section — perfect for safe play and fun. Dogs who stay with us are treated like family. We’ve owned many breeds over the years, from Golden Retrievers to Huskies to Terriers, and love meeting each dog’s unique needs. Our two boys (10 and 13) adore visiting pups and keep them busy with games, backyard adventures, and plenty of exercise. Along with playtime in the yard, we take dogs on daily long walks to keep them happy, healthy, and tired in the best way. You’ll get daily photo and video updates so you can see your dog having a blast. We’ll love and care for your dog as if they’ve always been part of our family.

Karl was a great host for our 6 month old puppy who needed lots of interaction with people. He worked with our schedule and made sure Albie felt at home from the moment he was dropped off to pick up. The whole family interacted with Albie, giving a balanced amount of play vs rest so I picked up a happy calm puppy.
