I do not crate pets unless the owner requests. From my experience dogs don’t do well in a crate while staying at someone else’s house. If a dog is destructive or owner requests dog can be carted.

Loving Pet care

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Magdalena .I welcome you to my Loving Pet care. I absolutely love animals and would love to care for yours. In addition to 27 years experience with animals (my own pets, vet assistant and volunteer at Washington Humane Society) I have a degree in Biology. We live in a townhome condo with three kitties; Baczek, Paczek and Smerfetka. *Your pup must feel comfortable around cats to stay with us. I offer great boarding filled with fun: - hiking - Morning running - daily walks at the nearby trail I work from home but pets must be able to stay home alone for few hours. Please let me know if your dog has a separation anxiety. Daycare hours are 7am-5 pm if pick up is later there is a $35 charge for a daycare. While requesting a reservation please provide the time of drop off and pick up. Thank you for stopping by! During the week Morning 1hr walk and play time in the neighborhood. Lunch time walk/ play time in the neighborhood. Potty breaks if needed Evening 1hr walk and playtime in the neighborhood If your dog requires to be crated please bring your crate. I have a gate occasionally set up downstairs to keep the dogs from escaping the front door.

Magdalena took great care of my dog while we were way, sending me lots of cute pics and communicating frequently. I felt like he was well taken care of, and he didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up.
