We book up fairly quickly, so please check my calendar availability and read my entire profile before contacting me. My goal is to create a loving/fun vacation for your best friend as he/she becomes part of our family. All you do is pack enough food for their visit with us - plus medications, supplements and a regular leash. We do the rest; providing TLC, toys, fun outings, belly or butt scratches and companionship. If they are totally attached to their bed, bring that too, otherwise we have very comfy dog beds. Pricing is for a 24-hour period. If drop off/pick up times are different, there may be a price adjustment. A meet 'n greet is REQUIRED for each dog and every guest MUST be well-mannered and socialized. Treat dependent, high strung, high energy, hyper-active, alpha, excessive barkers or untrained dogs (who do not come, sit, stay or heel) will NOT be a good fit with us. It's too stressful for the other dogs AND humans when a dog isn't trained, misbehaves or is too loud or rowdy. Vaccinations are required. I will NOT watch contagious dogs. Dave, my husband, and I live in a ranch-style home in south Bellevue, close to/above the 405/I-90 interchange and 20 minutes away from the airport. We especially enjoy watching dogs with a mellow/calm demeanor that are between 25 and 60 pounds. We're open to larger sizes as long as they are; potty trained, well behaved (have GREAT recall, know sit, stay and HEEL), are not big barkers or rough when playing. Your dog will be a guest in OUR home and neighborhood and their behavior affects everyone; dogs and humans alike. We believe in quality over quantity, so there usually aren't more than three guests at a time, to ensure that everyone gets the attention they deserve. Once in awhile, there can be 'spillover' where we have an extra dog or two for 24-48 hours as vacations can overlap. Why I love dog sitting: I've been an animal lover forever and have enjoyed taking care of dogs all my adult life. Growing up, my family had cats, dogs, birds and rabbits. As an adult, I have trained my own dogs who each turned out to be spectacular canine citizens, if I do say so myself. :) Always drawn to animals, I supervised the front desk at a multi-doctor veterinarian hospital for several years after moving to the PNW. About our Pets: We share our lives with Skoshi, an adorable, red-headed, tri-colored, 3 3/4 year old corgi. About our yard: Our yard is 'fenced' with both iron railing and a 3-4', plastic coated wire and metal fencing, so it is only deterrent-type fencing. My experience administering medication: I'm fine giving pills.
