Pet care experience
🌼 Flexible & Reliable Care
🐾 Hi, I’m Mimi! I offer dog walks, drop-ins, and small dog boarding in West Seattle. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy pups, shy or sensitive dogs, seniors, and special needs pups. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy, and comfort level so every visit is fun and stress-free. Pet care is my main focus, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate same-day & last minute requests. I intentionally keep my client list small so each dog gets plenty of attention. 🐕 DOG WALKS & DROP-INS: • Dependable & on time • Quick replies & good communication • Lots of pics • Calm, patient care 🏡 SMALL DOG BOARDING I board one small dog at a time who is friendly and comfortable with other dogs. I’m home most of the day, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention. I live right next to a waterfront park, which makes frequent potty breaks and walks easy.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Very happy we found Marie. She took in our energetic 4 year old chocolate lab for multiple days. She was able to take her out every day and play fetch and get her exercise. I know our dog had a great time there. It was nice to know she was in good hands with Marie. Would highly recommend Marie. She is great with the animals and is able to provide great care. She also communicates extremely well and will provide updates throughout your animals stay.
Marie "Mimi" T. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
I've known Marie for so long it feels like we're siblings. In that time I've witnessed first-hand the care, energy, and patience she gives both to her own dogs as well as to each and every dog she works with. She's not only a life-long dog lover, but has worked as a professional dog walker, trainer, and now, as a boarder. She is a wellspring of experience but also has that knack of 'reading' each dog, and treating each dog as a singular personality. She's someone who really understands and values that special bond that exists between dogs and their human companions.
Our dog Hadrian had a great time for a night stay at Marie’s! He was nice and tired by the time he got back :).
We are SO grateful we found Marie! She’s always responsive to our last-minute requests and has the perfect setup for our pups with her wonderful fenced backyard and cozy home. Our dog absolutely loves playing with her sweet pup, Coco! It feels like a mix between doggy daycare and a dog park, and our pets always come home happy and tired out from all the fun! 😊 Marie is also such a kind and understanding person. She’s flexible with late pick-ups, last-minute bookings, or cancellations, and truly dedicated to helping in whatever way works best for you and your pets. She’s become our go-to sitter, and we couldn’t imagine a better fit!
Marie is a genuine dog lover and knows how to care for a range of personality types - from the shy ones coaxing them out of their crate for a walk, to the most gregarious, active ones too. I've known her for well over a decade and have seen her care for her own pets with as much love and attention as I'm sure she'll give to yours.

Schedule
📅 I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute and same-day requests. For boarding, I’m home most of the day, so your pup will have plenty of company and frequent potty breaks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🐕 I always follow your instructions and your pet’s routine closely. For walks and drop-ins, I’m careful when entering and leaving your home to ensure doors and gates are secure. For boarding, I only take one small dog at a time, and do careful introductions with my two resident dogs. Your pup will be treated like part of the household, with plenty of attention, supervision, walks and potty breaks.
Pets
A typical day
Walks include plenty of time for sniffing, exploring and exercise, and drop-ins can include potty breaks, playtime, feeding and snuggles. Boarding pups become part of our daily routine! I’m home most of the day and live next to a waterfront park, so we can take frequent potty breaks and walks, plus have plenty of time to relax at home.

- 💛 When you send a request, I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality, routine and preferences, along with anything they love or anything I should avoid. For boarding, please let me know how they do with other dogs, whether they’re house-trained, how they do when left alone, and anything else that will help me make sure they’ll be comfortable here!
