***NO PUPS WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY, FOOD AGGRESSION, OR RESOURCE-GUARDING ISSUES, PLEASE.*** Please let me know of your pup's dietary and physical needs, if any. Please let me know if your pup has separation anxiety. While I will make every attempt to accommodate your pup, and I live in a very pet-friendly community, I am unfortunately unable to accommodate pups with known separation anxiety that will be disruptive to the community. Please also let me know if your pup is crate-trained. I provide an extra XL crate so you don't need to provide your own. Crating is used only to provide a safe, calm environment while I am not home. If your pup is perfectly fine not being crated and isn't a "chewer", simply let me know that your pup doesn't need to be crated! I also provide premium, grain-free food (wet & dry) so you don't have to pack much. Of course, feel free to bring your pup's own food and specify any and all dietary restrictions/requirements. Lastly, please let me know of your pup's temperament around other dogs. I live in an extremely dog-friendly community so the likeliness of your pup's interaction with other pups of all sizes, ages, and breeds is very high. Please be sure to view my ASSUMPTIONS about your pup in my ‘About Me’ section. If your pup doesn’t meet these criteria, while I would love to board your fury family member, I am unable to host him if all the criteria are not met (except for food allergies/restrictions). For house-sitting requests, please be aware that my pup would also be joining me! Also please be aware that house sitting will be limited to overnight stays, generally from 8 PM to 8 AM the next morning. House-sitting requests will also be charged one round trip fee per week or fraction thereof. P.S., Thank you in advance for trusting me with your pup! A portion of the fee is donated to Seattle Humane Society.

Your pup will enjoy lengthy walks around Green Lake Park, up and down Mill Creek Town Center (when I'm up north), and hikes if your dog is boarded over the weekend (unless you opt out of this!), but at the very least, lengthy walks along Greenwood Avenue daily. All this is weather-permitting, of course. I provide additional safety harnesses and seat belts for your pup while in the car with me. When we walk at nights, your pup will be geared with an LED light for his safety. For weekday stays, it is important to note that I do work a full-time job M-F, from 9 AM to 5 PM. That means that your dog will be safe, but unattended during those hours. I am home all evening, however, from 5:30 PM to the next morning around 8:30 AM. Your pup will be let out during the following times: once at 6:00 AM, again at 8:30 AM, at 5:30 PM when I get home, and again at about 10:00 PM. Walks occur between 6 - 8:30 AM, and between 5:30 - 9:00 PM. Walks are typically about 1.5 - 3 miles each, dependent on where we go and the weather. Your pup would have my undivided attention 24/7 over the weekend, however, except for maybe the occasional 30 minutes to an hour if I run errands to the grocery store. Outings would be spread out more throughout the day over the weekend as well, and likely more frequent. I provide plenty of healthy, grain-free treats, peanut butter treats, premium dog treats with quality ingredients that may contain flour and/or wheat and/or grain(s), along with stuffed toys, squeaky balls, ropes, dental chews, pig ears, and hide chews to provide hours of distraction and fun! Treats are also used to reinforce positive behaviors. If your pup doesn't do well with grain, be sure to let me know and I will use only grain-free options with your pup. P.S., Thank you in advance for trusting me with your pup! A portion of the fee is donated to Seattle Humane Society.
