Highlights
Pet care experience
Lake Tapps—life on over an acre!
I have taken care of animals--mostly dogs--for over 25 years including volunteering at a local animal shelter, PetCo, and a veterinary hospital. We have always had fur babies as family members. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and care for their pets as well. We have three daughters ages 4-12, two dogs, and love to actively play.

Ratings and reviews
Another great stay with Katie and her family. Bruce loves his time there and I feel secure that he’s being well-cared for.
Best dog sitter around
They take such wonderful care of our dogs!
Awesome family! Super kind, clearly love animals. Have their own sweet dogs of their own. Your dog will be part of the family.
Another great stay with Katie and her family. My dog loves them.
A great first experience with Katie and Rover! Katie sent several updates and pictures of Bodi during his stay. Bodi came home exhausted from having so much fun!

Schedule
We joined Rover in August 2023, and have been grateful to the lovely families that have trusted us with their loved ones. We are honored you are considering us for care. Are we a good fit for your family? -we try to be flexible with hours for drop off and pick up -We do have three daughters, so we are best suited for dogs that love kids -We try to maintain having a handful or less dogs, being thoughtful about breeds and sizes, so please reach out to check our availability. We try to keep our calendar updated and ensure we can provide individual care for each dog, plus allow them to enjoy the company of their peers. -Between our two work schedules, someone is usually home. We provide lots of time outside on our property which is a fully fenced acre. -We use distraction, re-direction, positive verbal and physical praise to work with dogs. We believe that play is important to learning. -Dogs get to roam freely in the lot, with fresh, clean water available in multiple locations. -We have a small, medium, and large crate available for usage. We prefer to keep the crates open and have them mostly for comfort for dogs that are crate trained and want an area to go rest. If your dog isn’t crate trained, that’s ok too, we have dog beds and multiple areas to lounge. Please also bring any items to make your dog’s stay comfortable like a favorite toy or blanket. -We are comfortable with any additional health and hygiene routines like administering medicine, including injections. A schedule (roughly) looks like: 7 am: morning feeding 8-11 am: outside play 11-1 pm: nap time 1-4pm: outside play and explore 5 pm: dinner 8 pm: bedtime -We do ask to do a meet and greet to make sure that we are a good fit. We look that your pup is comfortable at our place, with us, and our dogs. We also want to hear about any special routines or considerations. -We are happy to send photos of your loved one while in our care as well. We are excited to welcome your family member to our little oasis.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home sits on a dead end and is fully fenced with a 4 foot fence. We have a gate and will let you in to drive to our home which sits back for drop off. The driveway is a giant circle for easy exiting.
Pets
A typical day
We love to keep dogs active by exploring our yard that is stimulating with a variety of smells and hills. Often times there are lots of sticks, toys, and wild animals present.
