As an experienced K9 handler, caregiver and a lifetime of having dogs of my own, I understand the need to feel comfortable with where your dog is at and wanting to keep updated on how your beloved pup is doing. I also understand the need for reliable dog sitting and open communication. As part of my commitment to your dog's safety and comfort, a meet and greet is required before you leave your dog in my care so I can assure that all dogs are compatible with each other, and so you can feel comfortable as well. Residing in a small classic craftsman house with a classic Seattle fully fenced yard, and have two dogs of my own, so tend to not host more than 2 clients at a time (more is on a case by case basis). I am dedicated to giving your dog the attention and space they need. I leverage decades of experience in dog handling and care to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog's stay with me. I endeavor to make their stay more of a fun doggie resort experience than just regular boarding. Lots of play, snuggle, naps... I will accommodate their needs through tailored and collaborative care. I've worked with and around a lot of dogs, including experience with elder dog care - the inevitable phase we all end up going through - and have experience with puppies. I have enough room to create quiet space if needed and integrated play time for more active dogs. Through all ages and phases I meet the dog where they're at while remaining reliable for you. PLEASE NOTE: I work largely from home though do need to visit the office for a half day once or twice a week. We can discuss those days if they occur during your dog's stay. PICK-UP/DROP-OFF HOURS: Preferred drop-off and pick-up hours are 6:00 AM - 8:00 PM Times outside those hours can be discussed, but I try to adhere to those times. Please contact me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible so we can discuss if my offerings and availability align with your needs.
