Work @ home, fenced yard, love dogs
Pet care experience
I'm a freelance writer, and I work from home. I actually am lucky enough to write about dogs often! My husband and three kids love dogs too. We have one cairn terrier mix named Daisy. She loves meeting new canine friends. She has the run of the house and spend most of her time snoozing on the couch and chasing squirrels in our fenced yard. We also like to take her hiking, walking in the neighborhood, and ovee to the dog park. I've owned dogs for as long as I can remember... Labs and shelter mutts mostly. After losing our "babies" a couple years ago (ages 15 and 13), we adopted Daisy from the shelter. We will probably rescue another dog someday but for now we hope babysitting other great dogs will be fun. Dogs at our house get lots of attention! Our kids are 9, 7, and 4, and they adore dogs. They've been jumped up on, licked in the face, and pulled over by rowdy dogs, and they don't mind at all. They are all good about asking before petting and respecting dogs' boundaries. We obviously couldn't care for a dog who can't stand kids but if a dog is older or prefers not to play, the kids would respect that. Over the past 15 years, we have traveled often and had to leave our dogs at boarding kennels or the vet. We always felt bad. When we lived in Olympia, we discovered DogVacay and from then on our dogs would be comfortable and loved at someone's house. The person who watched them shared photos and updates of them having a blast, and it was so great to know the dogs were happy. It made us much happier! I plan to keep pet parents updated with photos and notes as desired. Can't wait to meet some wonderful new dogs!
Reviews
They took such great care of our benny! They were awesome and sent pictures throughout his stay and kept in contact. I trust and know they care for my dog as their own. Will definitely be booking agian!
Wonderful as always!
Great visit and really appreciated the regular updates and photos while I was away. Very responsive and flexible, thank you!
Rusty, our energetic and loving Labradoodle, stayed with John and Kim for the first time. He stayed with them for 4 days, and by the pictures John and Kim sent, together with the almost daily emails, it appeared Rusty had a great time. He ate well which he often doesn't do at a new house. We would use them again in a heart beat!
