Information Rachel & Ian A. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog neutered/spayed, crate trained, are they aggressive, how do they behave around other dogs? Are they up to date on vaccinations and on a flea/tick preventative? Is there any special treatment they need, such as special food or medication? Are they sensitive or allergic to anything known? Leash reactive? Have they boarded before? Any anxious tendencies you know about?

A typical day

We have a fully fenced yard for games of fetch and free time. We also live down the street from a park that we love to go on walks to.

Fenced Yard, A/C + Work From Home

Pet care experience

Two dog lovers with years of experience taking care of dogs (and pets of all variety). We now have a 6 year old Beagle mix who is always looking for new friends to play with! Both of us work from home full time and can take your pup outside and on walks at the nearby park. We typically walk for 45min every day though cannot guarantee it, but either way your dog will have no shortage of exercise and playtime, in and outdoors! We have a fully fenced yard and one playful dog named Poppy to keep your dog company. For safety purposes, we keep Poppy and any guests in their crates at night and when we leave the house. We have cameras to keep a close eye on them when both of us do have to leave the house. Our home and yard are incredibly secure for all dogs, especially those dogs that tend to be escape artists. The yard is fully fenced with no gaps or loose boards (frequently inspected), and we have a 5ft tall secure gate indoors to block off our entry way when the door needs to be opened (pick ups, drop offs, maintenance workers, deliveries, etc.). We also have central AC to keep your dog cool on hot days, and an efficient furnace and fireplace for the cold days and nights!

Best of the best! We moved from Everett to Redmond and will still drive the 45 minutes to have our dog boarded with them! They are communicative, responsive, and so kind! My dog loves seeing them now after staying there for a third time! Will forever rebook!

Rachel and Ian were amazing caregivers for our sweet dog over a holiday weekend. We received lots of pictures, which put our minds at ease. Communication was very responsive and it was clear they are experienced sitters. Highly recommend!

Got the best photos during our two week vacation and truly feel like our two dogs got their own little vacation staying with Rachel and Ian. The booking process was super easy and they had continuous great communication all the way through. Highly recommend and will be booking with them again next time we need a dog sitter!
