Dog Boarding in Olympia

COVID-19 Updates

We are open! With phase one including pet walkers, and because we have a no contact drop off/pick up system in place we feel comfortable allowing your pups back into our home. I know our dogs are getting restless and yours would probably love a play date too!

We have adjusted our drop off/pick up to comply with CDC guidelines. Please...

1. do not bring your dog if anyone in your house has been ill in the last two weeks or if you have had contact with anyone with confirmed COVID-19. I will fully refund any booking.

2. bring enough food for multiple daycare visits and avoid bringing unnecessary items. I have plenty of extra bowls, leashes, beds, and blankets to keep your pup comfortable.

3. maintain the 6 foot social distancing recommendations. To assist in this we have added a baby gate at the end of our covered outdoor entry. Put your pup inside the gate, drop their food in the bin and I will call them from the doorway. For pick up please let me know you are here or on your way and I will leave any items for them in the bin. I will make sure you are at or inside the gate before I let them out of the door and you can collect them in the gated space.

Why kennel your best friend when you can leave them with a loving family? My full time job is caring for your dog, and it is my goal to give them the best care possible. I have a large fully fenced 1.4 acre property and a cozy pet friendly home so whether your dog is active and adventurous, a snugly couch potato, or something in between they will feel right at home.

I do my best to meet and assess each dog's temperament before their stay to ensure I have the space and resources to make each guest comfortable.

During the stay

I spend time outside with the dogs playing fetch, filling up the kiddie pool, opening up the fenced pasture for exploring, and just helping them have a blast! Depending on their leash skills I also take dogs for walks down country roads where they can see and smell pheasant, the neighbors horses, cattle and many other interesting things. In the house pups can make themselves comfortable on the couches, dog beds, on the big human bed, or inside crates. I keep a wide variety of toys available and dogs have access inside and out at their leisure.

Special Accommodations

I have experience, and enjoy caring for pets with special needs: paralysis, incontinence, deafness, special diets, medications and more. Our home is air conditioned so heat sensitive breeds will be safe and comfortable during the warmer months. We are currently not accepting unspayed females because our puppy, Goku, has not been neutered yet. Intact males are accepted.

Let's Meet!

We are located 10 minutes from I-5 exit 88. My drop off and pick up times are very flexible. Click on the Contact me button above so we can set up a Meet and Greet, I look forward to hearing from you.

We provide lot's of adventure for your dogs as well as comfort and LOVE. We have a HUGE fenced in backyard(1/2 acre) for your dogs to roll, run and have ridiculous fun! Our backyard is big enough for your dog to get up to a full speed run (Scroll down to see 50+pictures of our dog clients having ridiculous fun)

We encourage play in a safe and watchful environment. We allow ample time for our guests to warm up to their environment, giving them calm reassurance and love. NO kennels, No crates,*(unless requested) why, because we are here all the time. We also carefully observe dogs through our Meet & Greets and make sure they are a good fit for us (we don't just take any dogs) We are a family who loves dogs. There will be lots of cuddles and belly rubs for those who like that and also respect for personal space for dogs who need that. We understand the importance of having a place that is both safe and nurturing for dogs. We have ourselves, used kennels, private care, and online pet sitting services and have had both good and bad experiences. We have learned what GOOD dog care requires. We WILL provide exceptional care for your dog family. Give us a chance to put your mind at ease by knowing your furry loved ones will have the best possible care.

Are you looking for a clean, safe and loving home to keep your pet while you take your summer vacation, business trip or other event? Well I can provide all of this and much more for your pup:)

My name is Janelle Kaiel and I'm the owner of "Love your Pet Dog Walking and Boarding. I have been with Rover for almost a year now. Over this year I have enjoyed taking care of the most incredible pups! Everything from Great Pyrenees to small Maltese pups. Why do I bring these dogs into my home and care for them as though they were my own? Because I love dogs! Dogs are fantastic, loving and loyal! In fact, I have had family dogs most of my life and I currently own a sweet 14 yr old golden named Misty that I rescued from a bad home environment. Before Misty, I had Molly whom I also rescued and she lived to the ripe old age of 15! And prior to Molly, Jasmine a brand new golden pup that I raised. Jasmine and I also spent 3 years as a K9 Search and Rescue team with Tualatin Valley Fire Dept where she learned to do urban search and rescue. It was so much fun watching her grow and learn these vital skills and she was fantastic at it!

ABOUT ME:

So a little about me; I have lived in my home for almost 15 years. I love the area and neighborhood and there is a great community park just down the street.

I decided to become a dog sitter/walker after working as a Product Marketing Manger at Daimler Trucks for many years and then in Managed Health Care for about the last 4 years before deciding to make a big change and start this business with Rover. I have a BS degree from Portland State University.

MY DOG SKILLS AND EXPECTATIONS:

I m very comfortable handling dogs of all breeds and sizes and although I'm not an official dog trainer (although that is a future goal of mine) I do have experience training my own dogs and am well versed in animal behavior. However, I will NOT accept dogs that are aggressive towards people or other dogs, including a serious food or toy aggression. This is so that I'm able to provide a safe and fun environment for your pups when they stay. Lots of playtime with other pups and lots of happy, tuckered out dogs by the end of their boarding stay or day-sit. Typically, I will sit for at least 3 dogs and no more than 4 over any given period with the exception that some dogs may overlap and some are either arriving that day or leaving.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING YOUR DOG'S STAY:

Expect your dog to be treated just like they would be at home! I will care for them, snuggle and cuddle them, walk and exercise them and supervise controlled play when there are other doggie guests. They get to sleep any where they want, furniture is fine or on my bed if there is room. However, if you prefer they sleep in a kennel or crate that is fine too. I will spoil them just a bit but not too much, I have to maintain my alpha status, don't want to be a push over. HaHa!

I also, require vaccines to be up-to-date and flea/tick medication adhered to prior to visits. I am very happy to say that since I began this journey I have not had one flea touch any of my dogs and want to keep it that way for both your pets and mine:)

You may also find Kristen my assistant helping out some days too. She is a great addition to the team and is wonderful with the animals. She is very interested in becoming a vet tech in the near future.

SERVICES OFFERED:

Overnight stays

Day-sits- Per Dog (Single visit: $20; 5 pack: $90; 10 pack; $180; 20 pack: $360 - pack must be used within a 2 month period but sits do not need to be consecutive. 10% discount for multiple dogs)

Walking ( I have some great pricing on walking membership packs! just ask me at our meet and greet)

On some occasions and if I'm available I will do an over-night sit at your home or preferably I can come to your home to feed, and walk your dog while your away.

RATES AND MEMBERSHIP PACKS:

My pricing is very competitive and is average for the area. You can review my pricing on Rover. Again, I do offer walking and day-sit member-packs should you have an interest in these services.

Finally, if you are planning a trip and are flying, I live really close to the airport. Just a few miles away from 205 so you can be there in minutes. A lot of my guests like to drop off their pup the night before so that they can head straight to airport if they have a morning flight and pick up is so easy after coming in from a flight so keep that in mind as a benefit as well:)

MEET AND GREET:

I look forward to hearing from you and scheduling our meet and greet. This gives us an opportunity to talk and get questions answered as well as see how our dogs get along. After that, if we are both comfortable with the match we can get the sit, overnight stay or walk scheduled.

I look forward to serving the needs of your pups and will treat them all as if they were my own and I am happy to provide references.

Thank your for viewing my profile!

Woof!

Janelle and Misty

I love animals and over the years I have rescued two golden retrievers one of which is still with me and her name is Misty. She is 14 years old. I also raised my first golden from a pup. I have been a dog owner most of my life and have had experience with many different types of breeds, (e.g. doxy's, poodles, mixed breeds, cattle dogs, labs, boxers,goldens, chihuahua's, and many other breeds. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your pet while you are away. I will take care of your pet as though it was my own:)

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog owner most of my life. I currently own a golden retriever that I rescued from GoldenBond Rescue Org. Her name is Misty. Prior to that I rescued Molly her passed just this last October at great old age of 15! My first golden, Jasmine I raised as a pup.

Meet my pets

Misty - Golden Retriever 14 years old

Very friendly with people and other dogs!

About my yard

My experience administering medication

Yes very comfortable doing this

Whether you're at work or at play, have peace of mind knowing you special dog friend is having a great time and being loved and cared for. He or she will be chasing balls and playing with toys and buddies in a large back yard. There's always time for relaxing, cuddling and petting. Dogs are always allowed in the house. I have lived with and loved dog friends my whole life. I train my own dogs using the treat and affection reward method. I previously owned a business visiting pets while their owners were on vacation. I recently lost both my senior dogs and will probably have another dog at some time in the future. (updated 02/18) I am still taking no more than two dogs at a time so they will all get the attention they deserve. I am a retired, active, 67-year-old who spends her days gardening, reading, and on various chores around the house and yard. References provided.

I love animals! I have experience of taking care of new born kittens and new born puppies to senior dogs. I grew up with a house full of furry friends. Volunteered with my grandma at the animal shelter was also a great experience for pet sitting. I've learnt to feed them healthy, take care of them, play with them, walk them and most of all I love them. Dogs to me like little children that need to be loved. All they do is to bring joys to your life.

I do translation and work from home so I have time to take care for new furry friends and make them feel like home. My little girl also loves to give lots of loving care to the cutties while they are staying with us. You can feel at ease that your loving furry ones are in good hands.

I love to snuggle and love on dogs as if they were my own. Dogs love me because I take the time to give them all of my attention. Whether it's running, walking, or even throwing a ball. I love any types of dogs, and have a huge heart for animals. My dog gets lots of walks during the day, and plenty of other exercise. Later in the evening everyone is so tired that it's time to cuddle and watch a movie together. I have owned a pet all my life and I know that it does take dedication and responsibility. If I am available on the days you need, you can depend on me! I will be there loving your dog and giving them what they need!

FYI - This is my profile, but my husband (Stephen) and I do this together.

**RECENTLY REDUCED RATES & UPDATED AVAILABILITY**

•Short & Split Walks/Drop-Ins available•

Over the years I’ve cared for numerous breeds of dog for my friends and family members. My brother has a 15 yr Boston Terrier, my parents have Pughuahas, my friends have Pitbulls, Belgian Malinois, LARGE Mastiffs, each that I’ve cared for for periods as long as 4 weeks, and many others.

I have got way too much time on my hands, and I’m extra flexible. I have a mid size SUV that’s already worn in (but still good condition), so perfect for outdoor trips to the local parks with no worries of damage to the interior.

•“Scary” breeds OK! Large Dogs are fine too!

•Strict diets and Hand-Prepared Meals can be accommodated for on request.

•Photo/Video updates always provides during any visits.

•Day-Care/Boarding Clients MUST be good with other dogs as I often have multiple clients.

•Walks are always exclusive.

•Meet and Greets are highly preferred, and always FREE!!

***In-lieu of Meet & Greets, Last-Minute Requests (within 36-hrs) may be charged a 15% increase of total booking.***

***Walks for 2+ Large Dogs will require multiple bookings, if dogs must be walked separately.***

***Extra Cost Adjustments may be necessary/available depending on Owner’s Care requests.***

We only board dogs, cats & other pets in their own home where I & my partner stay during the duration of the booking. Through my years of experience this is always easiest on the animal. We used to sit pets separately but have found that as a team pets are better cared for & get much more love & attention. I spend majority of my days working on the computer. On average, we are home throughout the days and nights. I occasionally work outside the home which can be discussed at booking. If owner requests it, dogs will get walked or taken to the dog park. We are both experienced & comfortable at administering medications. We're happy to let the dog(s) sleep on the bed, if owner usually does. I have a lot of love to give and want nothing more than to work at something that creates positive change and taking care of animals has always been a part of that.

I have worked with and trained dogs for 15 years. I am a veterinary technician stationed in Washington state. I worked for dog daycares in the area, grooming, training and caring for up to 40 dogs at the same time. I am currently studying to be a veterinarian. I love animals and am comfortable working with any size or breed of dog. I have a large fenced yard, as well as an area to walk them on and off leash. I am from Washington and know the area well. I do have a few large crates in the case they are needed, but also have the back yard and plenty of dog beds, blankets and dog friendly toys and chews available. I recommend bringing something that smells like home or a personal crate to help your dog feel more at ease while they stay with me.
