I welcome meet and greets so we can all feel at ease and comfortable with each other. It’s also a great opportunity to discuss your pup’s details, like diet, medications, triggers, habits, schedules, etc. I love the process of getting to know each animal on their own terms and in their own time, but it’s very helpful to get the basics from the start. It will help to know what to avoid and what to focus on. I also want to make sure you have peace of mind while you’re beloved pet is with me, so I will keep an open line, day or night! Please feel free to call or text just to even say hello! I will happily send updates throughout the day too, so we can keep the flow of dialogue open.

I live in the Admiral District in West Seattle. I have a fenced backyard with a doggy door. There is an detached cottage on the property, and depending on your dog’s personality, they can stay in there or at the foot of my bed. There’s plenty of room to romp around. My girlfriend has two dachshunds that they can play with. Although, I have found that if here is a large size difference, they tend not to play so much. But we don’t take issue with dogs on the sofas and I’ve seen big dogs turn into lap dogs after observing the little doxies. Please let me know if you want me to restrict couch access because I’m a softie. I take advantage of all West Seattle has to offer. Scenic walks, skateboarding with the dogs on the beach, secret hidden trails in the Duwamish green belts. I don’t assume the dog park is the right place for each pet, so unless you ask me to take them to the dog park, I won’t. Along with my home in West Seattle, I spend many weekends at my lake house in Stanwood which is an added bonus. The property is fenced in the back and the only escape is a swim in the lake. I will leash your dog based on their personality. I know some dogs like to run more than others. Family get togethers often involve a soirée of family pets, so your doggy will also get that bennifit as well.
