Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced yard ; 20 yrs in canine care
Effective 5/1/2026, We are placing our Rover account on hold while we grow our family. It is hard for us to miss out on loving your pups in the meanwhile! We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to resume sitting-services when it is safe and realistic to do so -- at some point in the future! With an abundance of puppy love, Augustine, Mallory and Duke 🐾💙 Dogs have been a huge part of our lives since childhood. Having grown up around dogs from Dachshunds to Dobermans, we pride ourselves as being experienced with breeds of all sizes and dogs of all ages. We love dogs from the core of our hearts and will never accept a booking unless absolutely sure of being able to provide the best care possible. My husband and I are seasoned Bellevue dog sitters and have a combined 20+ years of experience in canine care. Duke is our field Golden Retriever who loves having friends over to play. About our pet: Duke has grown up to be a smart, loyal, affectionate dog. He has impeccable social sense and is fantastic at tempering his playing style to match the other preference. He consistently provides new dogs enough space to feel comfortable at our place. He is also trained to not get into another dog's food bowl during feeding time. Overall, it has been a joy to raise him, and I am sure you and your dog will absolutely love him.

Ratings and reviews
Ripley had a great time with Mallory and Augustine! Communication was great and I felt very confident in their care of my fur baby.
Mallory and Augustine took great care of my pup as always!
Mallory, Augustine, and their dog Duke did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy. We would definitely recommend them!
Bodhi always has the best time with Mallory!
A great stay as always! Just finished a week long boarding for my 2.5 yo golden retriever while I was traveling for work. Thank you for the peace of mind and great care.
My 6 month old puppy has such a great time here. Mallory is very easy to reach and gives updates throughout the day. Millie had her first overnight and everything went smooth!

Schedule
Augustine and I manage our work schedule to where there usually is at least one of us at home the whole time. Here is how a usual day pans out : 1. 30 min potty/exercise in the morning with the dogs. Depending on your dog’s preferred playing style, they can either join Duke in chasing balls or just stroll around the yard. This session can be preceded with breakfast if your dog eats early during the morning. 2. Potty and short play session during the afternoon (when weather permits). The dogs again get to play and explore in the yard. Sometimes we may move this session around depending on our work schedule. Evening play session: We let the dogs get their final play session in during the evening. By this time, both of us are at home and so we can ensure that we spend time with the dogs together. IMPORTANT NOTE: We require current vaccination records prior to service for all new clients. We also carefully scrutinize and vet each dog that comes over to our place for behavioral and health compatibility.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is robo-vaccumed twice a day, and often followed by a quick mop. We are diligent in keeping the place dog proof. No stray items are ever left lying around, trash and recycling cabinets are fully secured and counter tops never have open food. If it's muddy outside, we wipe the dogs paws when they come inside from the yard to keep dirt out of the house as best we can. We allow our pups on our furniture and small dogs on our bed. In case your dog needs to be fed separately, there are three spare bedrooms where we can serve them without being distracted by other dogs. Overall, we are confident that our home is the perfect environment where your dog can enjoy and have a fun filled vacation, while you are away. We do Rover because we genuinely enjoy the company of dogs and want to ensure that we give Duke a life full of friendship and frolic. This is not a full time job for either of us and so we do not operate like a typical “kennel”. We only host a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure that we give each of them dedicated attention. Our objective is to give them an environment of being with a family they can love and adore while befriending Duke and hopefully becoming best friends.

A typical day
Totally suited to what your dog likes. We could do energetic playtime including fetch, tug of war, trick training etc. If your dog prefers a more mellow day, one of can say indoors with them or let them explore the yard at their own pace. They will definitely be spoiled with cuddles and treats (please inform us of any food sensitivities!) and become an extension of our family regardless of if they are with us for 10hrs or 10 days.

- If your dog has had a history of being aggressive or being violent towards other dogs, we would be unable to host them. My golden Duke loves everyone with all his heart but that’s also why he gets extremely upset if another dog were to behave aggressively towards him or other dogs in the house. Mentioning again here that we require updated vaccination records for all dogs prior to their arrival. We take pride in being able to create a safe environment for all the dogs that I host and your transparency is appreciated in helping us continue doing that. Thanks :)
