Information Kim D. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs! Does your dog need any special consideration? Shy of people or other dogs? Anxiety or separation problems? Excessive barking? Crate trained? I can accommodate most cases and look forward to talking with you more. I have a form to get lots of questions answered.

A typical day

We start the day with bird's chirping and I'm excited to play at camp. Morning potty and play before breakfast. At camp we have small group playtime until naptime at 12pm with my own bed I'm comfy and rest well in the temperature controlled building. We have more playtime and then dinner 4-5. On hot days we have a blast in the fence sprinklers. Getting ticked in for bed is easy from my fun day at camp. Ready to dream of chasing bunnies!

Pet care experience

I am passionate about working with dogs. I am an experienced dog trainer of over 18 year's. I teach a group classes at Lake Stevens K9 Academy LLC and offer in home private lessons. I am certified with AKC, offering Canine Good Citizen Training and Evaluating. I have been actively showing in conformation and obedience over 25 years earning recognition in both. My Mastiff was a retied Delta certified therapy dog. I recently became a Therapy Dog international Evaluator. I have Volunteered with rescue groups and have a good understanding all different breeds. We have a 12 acre farm with a temperature controlled building and several secure play yards. Decks for sunbathing, and fence sprinklers for hot days. Doggie cots for extra comfort. I have dog sat dogs in my home for the past 13 years for clients and friends. I enjoy having doggie guests of all different breeds. I want to do more in my home sitting and Rover.com offeres the venue to link up with more dogs and thier owners. We offer quiet private suites for shy or small dogs. Separate play yards insure playtime with friend's that are the best match. We require proof of a clean fecal (last 6 months) current on vaccinations and non aggressive. I am looking forward to working with you all soon.

Kim & staff were friendly and flexible and communicated how my 7m puppy was doing every day. I was glad to know my dog was getting the enrichment and attention needed while I was awayz
