As a former dog mom, I truly miss the joy, companionship, and love that comes with having a furry friend around. Our sweet senior pup recently passed, and while we’re not quite ready to adopt again, I’d love to welcome visiting dogs into our home for snuggles, playtime, companionship, and lots of personalized care. I recently earned my dog training certification and especially enjoy working with puppies to help build confidence, good manners, and positive habits from the start. Because our own dog experienced anxiety and reactivity challenges, I also have hands-on experience using gentle, positive reinforcement methods to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m patient, calm, and happy to provide extra reassurance for pups who may need a little more support. Since I work part-time from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to maintain your dog’s routines and provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I only care for one pet family at a time so each dog receives individualized attention and can feel relaxed, safe, and at home while they’re with me. My husband and I have a loving, pet-friendly home in West Seattle with a large fenced yard in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. We’re also close to beautiful outdoor spots like Alki Beach and Lincoln Park for enriching walks and adventures. I know how important all the little routines, preferences, and quirks are when it comes to your dog’s care, so I encourage you to share anything that helps your pup feel comfortable. My goal is always to make every dog feel loved, secure, and cared for just like they are at home.
