I love animals, my 19 year old son assists in summer and holidays -we can do drop in visits for cats and dogs. Overnights include at least 1/2 hour to 1 hour walk each day. If we host a dog overnight, they must be kennel trained. They also must be medium or large dog. My dog tends to not like most small dogs. I live in North Admiral and i like to do walks down to Alki and wear out a happy dog doing some stairs or just walking the hood. I will walk rain or shine. I do require a meet and greet meeting before we work together, especially important if your dog is going to stay with us. We have a dog and need to make sure that our friends will be compatible. We also require your pup to be at least 2 years old. My dog is a 7 year old Springer Spaniel. Our last dog lived to be 14, so I have experience taking care of elder dogs. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. Sometimes i have meetings where i will be gone for a few yours, so dog must be comfortable being kenneled.
