Hello there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! I just moved to Bellingham after having served as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy for the last 5 years. We started doing Rover back on the base in California, and I truly loved spending time with the dogs. It's been very therapeutic and has helped me in a lot of areas in my life and made me more confident as a person. I am home full time now so I have plenty of time to love on and take care of your fur baby! I am not afraid of dog drool or dog hair here, and offer a one of a kind experience. I do offer 10% military, fire fighter, teacher, and police officer discount as a way of saying thanks for sacrificing time and energy to help make the world a better place. - If you qualify for the above discount please let me know, I'm willing to add it, but I don't know then I can't help you. Even though I am in a town home, there is plenty of parks that I would gladly take your pup to. We go on a walk once daily, depending on the weather conditions. I try and keep my home as clean as possible and bleach my floors on a regular basis to cut down on bacteria to provide a healthy experience for your pups. I have experience with giving dogs medications, and am comfortable with high anxiety dogs. About 80% of my previous clients are high anxiety dogs and we do our best to accommodate to make sure your pup is as comfortable as possible. I have only sent home 3 dogs the entire time I have been doing this as a Rover Sitter, so I have pretty much seen it all. I like to do meet and greets ahead of time to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with my kids and I. We can meet wherever you would feel more comfortable. I manage well both my boys with taking care of your dog, so please don't feel like you're inconveniencing me with your pup. I purposely bring them ahead of time so they don't get caught off guard when there is a new pup in the home. I DO NOT accept payments outside of Rover. It's completely against Rover's Policy for me to do so. Also I can also pick up and do drop off's depending on how close by you live to me, just ask. Many clients ask what they should bring for the stay, I say use your discretion and bring whatever you feel will make your dog comfortable. We have wet and dry food here in my home as well as treats, but it is not anything fancy. We also have a variety of different sized kennels, so if your pup requires being kenneled at night time we have you covered there as well. Our schedule does fill up very quickly, so I update the schedule daily. So if you do an inquiry about a stay please let me know ASAP if you are wanting to proceed further. I have a strict cancellation policy due to this. Overall I have several very happy repeat clients, and I love to help out where and when I can, so please reach out! I hope to hear from you soon! -Kayla
