Dog-loving family home!

Pet care experience

Our family (me, husband, 2 boys - 12 & 15) love dogs, and animals in general. To us they are not pets, they are truly members of the family. I was raised with dogs from as early as I can remember - from labs to cocker spaniels, to our miniature dachshund Lucy (who will delight in having an overnight friend). I have taken multiple dog training courses and adopt a positive (not punitive) approach to raising and caring for dogs. In our home your dog's comfort, safety and care will always be the top priority. I understand that separation from you can be stressful for your dog (and you!) and will take every measure to ease the transition to staying in our home. I will provide daily updates to give you peace of mind. When staying with us your beloved pooch will be treated like a member of our family. Follow our pet-loving adventures on Instagram @doxielulu.

This was our second stay with Kim. Kim and her family are so sweet and accommodating. I knew both my girls were in great hands. We will continue to book with Kim when the need arises!

I'd give Kim and her family 10 stars if Rover had them ... our Jack Russell isn't the quietest or most easy-going of dogs, and she was clearly happy and comfortable with them at their lovely home. Kim provided updates and photos while we were away, and has the patience of a saint. We very much recommend Kim and would have our pup stay with her again in a heartbeat. :)

Information Kim W. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog comfortable with other dogs? How does your dog do with older kids? How frequently does your dog need potty breaks? Does your dog have specific commands or phrases they respond to? We love all dogs, but have an affection for smaller dogs. We are particularly suckers for dachshunds, but welcome most breeds.

A typical day

During your dog's stay they will enjoy walks around our neighborhood, including the nearby Ravenna Ravine, trips to Magnuson off-leash park (with your approval), and when weather allows plenty of time playing in our fenced yard. Additionally, our dachshund Lucy loves to play with new friends, and our sons are always ready for a good game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or just cuddling on the couch. Since I work from home, there will be no shortage of attention and snuggles to make sure your dog has a comfortable and relaxed stay.
