Pet care experience

I offer an oasis fun and friends

Hello! Do you have a dog in search of a break from the city? A place where they can run free, make new friends, and reacquaint themselves with their wild side? Give them a stay with me on my 15 acre homestead in Cle Elum with access to tons of hiking, swimming, and a nice spot to nap when they finally get burnt out. I live out here so it will be rare I am in the city to pick your pup up but I’m willing to meet in a convenient spot midway to where ever you’re trying to get away to.

Our pup came home happy and exhausted from all the running around, for a GSP puppy that’s quite the feat! Macken was great and handled all the dogs very well.

I am very grateful to Macken B. behavioral dog therapy for giving us insight on dog psychology. Very helpful and informative to the dynamics of why dogs act the way they do. If you have a hyperactive pet i recommend Macken B. Behavioral Dog Therapy.

Macken was great- appreciated the photo and his effort to let my dog experience the freedom of being off leash and play with other pups, while also having great ways to keep track of her. Good communication as well!

Schedule

I’m currently in a career transition and will be doing some online classes but have lots of time to take care of pets and this is an amazing place for them to hang out and run around while I work on stuff. I also recreate a lot hiking and running so having dogs who like to do that with me is a huge plus.

Safety, trust & environment

I get dogs a ton of exercise whether it be on my property, a stay in my clients property, or on the go doing a quick walk. I provide plenty water and snacks and rest when needed.

A typical day

Tons of hiking, swimming, fetch, playing with other dogs! Every day for me is different. I love exploring new areas and sometimes if it’s comfortable for the owner multi day backpacking adventures. Mostly I will be on my property where they have tons of land to run around. We have Lake Cle elum nearby for swimming and access to amazing hiking without having to drive anywhere.

Have they ever bitten anyone? Are they neutered or spayed? What are their quirks I should be aware of? How are they with other dogs, cats? How are they off-leash? Are they easy to get back on leash if for example we’re at a dog park.
