A Loving Home Away from Home

Whether you need a day to run errands, an overnight getaway, or a much-needed vacation, I would love to host your fur baby. I'm conveniently located at exit 18 in Kirkland near Kirkland Urban. I live in a quiet complex near parks, the Kirkland waterfront, and miles of walking trails. I work primarily from home and cherish the added companionship of a dog. If your dog loves to lounge, we’ll get along great and if they enjoy dog park excursions we’re sure to have fun as well. My home is dog-friendly; couches and beds are not off-limits because who doesn’t love to snuggle? While I don’t have any breed preferences, I do specialize in caring for smaller dogs under 30 lbs who are potty trained. I require an advanced meet & greet to ensure a smooth transition from your home to my home for your doggo. Some things I’d love to know: - Does your pet respond to basic commands off-leash? - Has your pet been watched by someone else before? - Does your dog have any food allergies or sensitivities I should know about? - Is your pet potty trained? Do they need pee pads? - Are they okay to leave roaming around the house or are they happier in a kennel? *Did you know* Many credit cards partner with Rover.com and offer cashback incentives and/or extra miles. Check the terms of your credit card prior to booking with me and save a little money. More questions? Feel free to message me.

Thea is always so kind and caring with Pixie. She remains the only sitter Pixie would go to and come home without fussing. She is easy to communicate with and does her best to accommodate scheduling changes.

Thea was very warm, and everything went smoothly from booking to daily communication. I would gladly book with her again

Thea took great care of Lokum during his stay with him. Also great communication before and during the stay, including regular updates and photos!

Love Thea’s attention to detail and how she handles Jordon. I have now used Thea’s service multiple times and Jordon is so happy to be with Thea. I would recommend Thea in a heartbeat!

Thea is always very kind to Pixie and takes great care of her. We look forward to receiving Pixie's photographs Thea shares during our trips. Pixie comes home happy after her visits. We are grateful for Thea's support.

Thea was wonderful with Jordon. Now that he is older, he is moody and likes to be left alone. Understanding Jordon and dealing with him takes a very experienced and patient pet sitter. Thea was very response and sent updates about Jordon. He came back home a very happy boy. Will use Thea again during our travels.

Schedule

I work primarily from my home and typically use my break and lunchtime to take puppers on short walks around my neighborhood. I value the break time; exercise for your dog and me! ;-)

Walks around the neighborhood and to the local park are always fun with puppers. And if it's okay with you, we'll go to the local fenced dog park, followed by snuggles in the evening.

Potty trained? Crate trained? What makes your dog feel safe and secure? Do they know basic commands and listen well while off-leash? Do they have special foods or dietary restrictions? Do they have a crate, toy or blanket they love? Please bring it with you during the visit to help them feel secure.
