Doggy Day Care South Lake Union

“Erica gave us the confidence to leave Mookie for the afternoon so we could go enjoy a baseball game. He is with us 100% of the time so it was a big deal to have him with a sitter. Communication was excellent, as we received updates and pics throughout the day. Her place of residence was perfect for the pups. This was an all-around positive experience. We are grateful. Thanks Erica!”

“Andy is so amazing! She is always so positive when she greets me at pick up and drop off. She was able to start watching my dog Obi on a short notice when my pet care method changed suddenly. She was accommodating and flexible with the hours based on my needs. She informs me of any changes in his health or behavior. She also tried multiple methods to make my anxious pup more comfortable with his separation anxiety. My dog absolutely loves her and I am so happy that I have her as a resource for my pet care needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Ozzy and I really like Zhongni! She is very thoughtful, caring and really paid a lot of attention to his needs. I know she took excellent care of Ozzy while I was at work and felt very comfortable dropping him off with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will use her again for boarding!”

About: Several years of watching friend's and family's dogs and cats! Have fostered dogs and I nursed my rescue puppy back to perfect health. I have had her for 4 years now. I work from home, so I can provide attention to your dog all day! We are very active, with multiple walks a day around the city, off leash dog parks (if you are ok with it), and weekend visits to bigger parks! I am flexible with dropoff and can even provide pickup/dropoff within a reasonable distance of Seattle. I will tailor my schedule to accommodate your pup's bathroom schedule. In my home, the dogs are allowed everywhere. I can crate the dog if necessary. We can do a meet and greet so that your dog can get comfortable with me and my pup. I will tailor my care to your pup!

“Devan was awesome! Great communication and a natural at connecting with dogs and keeping them engaged. Benji did not want to leave! We hope to see Devan again!”

“Pablo and Patricia were amazing! They were able to watch Bear on very short notice, were super kind and communicative, and took great care of him. I really appreciate them helping out last minute. Thank you both!”

Jenny T.

“Samuel was absolutely amazing taking care of Flex for the day! He was attentive, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Flex was in great hands. Samuel kept everything smooth and stress free, and Flex came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate the care, communication, and professionalism. I would 100% trust Samuel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable to watch their pup”

“I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.”

“Antonio watched my dog with not even a 12 hour notice. He was kind and patient with my young pup and demonstrated skills consistent with a quality caretaker for my dog. He provided updates and pictures throughout the day and got my dog some much needed exercise. I am grateful he was able to help me in a time of need. His dog Rubie is a sweetheart too and was patient with my 1.5 year old pup.”

About: I got my first pup when I turned 11 and have cared for them ever since, going on 14 years of owning a pet. Both dogs and cats! I enjoy interacting with pets and making them feel special on walkies or just hanging out with them. I currently run a small business so I am able to set my own hours and attend to other things such as walking or caring for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and three fur children in my household. Two dogs and a cat. I can also crate if needed for your pet.

“Mariia did a lovely job watching our dog. She is such a professional - asks all the right questions, communicates well, and provides a great experience for the pup. We were very happy to have her look after the big guy for an afternoon and were really pleased! We highly recommend her.”

Louis S.

“Jade was amazing! We got lots of pics throughout the day and she went above and beyond to try and get our picky puppy to eat! We would love to have Bodie stay with her again!”

“Randsell was wonderful with our dogs. She communicated clearly, was flexible and thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand our dogs and their personalities. We felt very comfortable leaving them with her and really appreciated the care she gave them.”

Joanne L.

“Thu was wonderful with our pup! She was our hero, stepping up and watching him after a last minute cancellation! She took Bodie on so many adventures and it was so evident he was cared for a loved all day. We would love to have her watch him again!”

“Judy was great. Great communication. Milo seemed quite happy to spend a few hours with her, as evidenced by the many photos she sent. And he really enjoyed the people watching from her windows. Would happily book again!”

About: I have over 5 years of experience dog sitting for a variety of families, providing comprehensive care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it's managing overnight stays, conducting regular drop-in visits, taking energetic walks, or keeping up with routine potty breaks, I prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent while you’re away. In addition to sitting for clients, I’ve grown up with a family dog and frequently care for them during extended stays. Having a dog in my own home has given me a deep, personal understanding of dog behavior, health needs, and how important it is to treat every pet like family. What You Can Expect: Attentive Routine Care: Timely feeding, fresh water, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of play. Active Engagement: Tailored walks, outdoor exercise, and engaging activities to keep your dog happy and stimulated. Frequent Updates: Daily photos and status updates so you always have peace of mind. Respectful House Sitting: Keeping your home clean, secure, and well-cared for during overnight stays. Working part-time from home gives me a flexible, consistent schedule that allows me to prioritize quality time and structured care for every dog I look after. Daily Availability & Supervision: Because I spend most of my work hours at home, pets in my care receive continuous companionship, regular attention, and frequent breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. Structured Daily Routine: My schedule makes it easy to maintain your dog’s exact feeding times, medication schedules, potty breaks, and energy outlets. I build my work tasks around their daily rhythm so their home routine stays seamless and stress-free. Mid-Day Exercise & Play: Flexible working hours allow me to block out time for mid-day walks, backyard play, and mental stimulation games when dogs are typically most active. Overnight & Weekend Care: With a home-based work setup, overnight stays and weekend bookings blend naturally into my regular flow, ensuring your pet always has a present, reliable anchor while you are away. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, my priority is keeping their daily routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. Caring for Pets in Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) Maintaining Familiar Routines: I follow your exact instructions for feeding, potty schedules, and sleep arrangements so your pet feels secure in their own environment. Attentive Care & Company: I provide plenty of one-on-one attention, play, and quiet companionship while respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. Frequent Updates: You’ll receive regular photos and daily status updates so you know your pet and home are in great hands. Caring for Pets in My Home (Apartment Living) Frequent Outdoor Excursions: Since I live in an apartment, I schedule regular, structured outdoor breaks for potty times and fresh air throughout the day. Park Walks & Exercise: We take full advantage of nearby parks for long, peaceful walks, sniffing sessions, and controlled exercise to burn off energy safely. A Cozy, Supervised Environment: My apartment offers a calm, cozy atmosphere where your dog can relax nearby while I work. They receive constant supervision and never have to navigate a chaotic or noisy environment. Safety & Park Guidelines Living in an apartment with nearby parks means safety and attentive handling are my top priorities on every outing. Here is how I ensure your dog stays secure, comfortable, and happy: Strict On-Leash Policy: Your dog will remain securely leashed at all times during outdoor walks, park visits, and potty breaks. I do not take client dogs off-leash in un-fenced public areas under any circumstances. Controlled Park Interactions: Nearby parks are fantastic for sniffing and exercise, but I maintain a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs and high-traffic areas. I always check with you beforehand regarding your dog’s comfort level around other pets or crowded spaces. Double-Check Gear Security: Before leaving the apartment, I double-check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are fitted securely to prevent any risk of slipping out. Weather & Pavement Checks: Before setting out, I check ground temperatures to protect paw pads during hot weather and keep walks shorter on severe weather days. Fresh water and quick paw wipes are always part of our post-walk routine. Attentive Environment Awareness: Apartment living requires constant vigilance—I stay fully off my phone during walks to focus 100% on scan-ahead awareness, watching for bicycle traffic, wildlife, or stray items on the path.

“Uno had fun with Shu! I can tell by the pics she sent. It makes me happy when Uno gets to be active during the day and Shu was able to provide that for him.”
