About: **Meet and Greet Required for all New Clients** *Cat Experienced and Crate Trained Dogs Only* I am certified graduate from Animal Behavior College with over 15 years of experience caring and training dogs. I own Awakening Companionship, a positive reinforcement training business. Having worked professionally and personally with a variety of dog ages, breeds and personalities, I understand the importance of personalized pet care! I currently work from home as a graphic designer, except for one or two days a week subbing at SBLSD or when I see dog training clients. I do have two cats and three senior dogs, so staying close to home for their needs would align with any pet I am caring for. *New Clients must be crated trained and have experience with cats* This is to ensure safety around my other pets during feedings and sleeping/naps. For the safety of you fur- family, I ask that they are comfortable in kennels and around my furry family. I have a fully fenced shady back yard, two loving kids and two senior dogs to keep your fur baby company during their stay. There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!

“Keri & Kerry were great! I am thankful to have found such a terrific place for my dog to stay and play. I had total peace-of-mind while my Golden was in their care. (And, their Golden, Beau, was a fun, well-mannered, bonus!).”

“Anthony has been so wonderful to work with for our fur baby! He is very caring and lets us k is how her day went as well as how she ate etc. We love the pictures of her playing with his pups and napping and the best endorsement was how excited she was next time we took her. My husband said she could hardly wait to get through the door! Thank you, Anthony! 🐾”

“Kathie does a great job with our Danish Swedish Farmdog, Jax - she just loves to play at her house. We also like how Kathie keeps us up to date on what's going on during the day with pictures and notes!!”

“Yukti took good care of our first Siberian puppy, Mika. She turned Mika from a naughty baby to a good dog. Yukti is very good at training dogs and she provides good discipline as well as abundant attention and exercise for my dog. We returned to her after we got our second Siberian pup. Great and professional sitter.”

“Amanda is the absolute best! We had something pop up late and she took in our Indy for daycare twice this week - and he came home happy and exhausted. ☺️ Thank you for everything!!”

About: I have been working with/training dogs & training horses for over 20 years now. Working with animals is always something that has come natural to me & I can't imagine doing anything else. I currently have the most amazing 2 year old Belgium Malinois/GSD. (River) She has taught me so much about life this last year. She's made me a better trainer & continues to push & challenge me to learn more each day. I also have a 1 year old male Cane Corso (Mountain). I've known him since birth & River has been helping me raise him since he was 9 weeks old. He's been the perfect addition to our pack. I started training dogs when I was 13 & I realized I had a natural gift for it. My neighbors growing up would ask me to watch their dog or walk their dogs & I even trained a few of my neighbors dogs. Which is the first time I began to realize this was something I was not only good at but that I LOVED to do. I spent years studying & learning about how dogs learn, behave & interact with each other. I wanted to understand them more. (Their pack instincts & such) All of this research has helped me understand how to teach many different kinds of dogs in all kinds of areas. Training dogs is what I do for a living right now & i work with my own dogs every day and keep them well trained, behaved and ready for any dog friends to come visit. I'm available pretty much 7 days a week. (Give or take) Caring for pets is just something I've always done & I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I have a HUGE fully fenced in back yard. I have an 12 year old amazing boxer/lab who helped train & teach my Malinois how to be a good canine citizen & now they are both continuing to teach my Corso how to be a canine gentleman. So now I have some amazing dogs who do a really good job of welcoming any dog into their home and making them feel right at home.

“I was so lucky to find Ashley! She is so kind and sweet to my Nui. He was so comfortable there. Til bed time, beautiful she wa so patient with him and wore him out! I am so blessed to have met you Ashlet. THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF NUI ASHLEY! Definitely will be using her again!”

“Anna and her husband took fantastic care of my pup! I felt very comfortable leaving him for the day for doggy day care with her. She sent lots of updates of him having a blast during his stay! I would recommend her to anyone, and would book again in the future! Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for pets (dogs and cats) since grade school and throughout adulthood. Nearly 2 years ago, my precious 8-year-old “blue” Beagle got called to doggie heaven very quickly after a lung cancer diagnosis. Although devastated by the loss of my beloved pooch, I have so much more love to give fur babies. Sadly, I’m familiar with end of life care as well as giving medications and special foods. I have 2 awesome kids ages 12 and 7, and two young beagles who are quite silly and social. I work from home and can be flexible with scheduling around the needs of your pets in my home, or in yours. I’m also available for drop-in feedings, snuggles, play time, and walks. My number one priority is making sure my furry guests are loved, cared for, and having a great time! My heart is full of love for each and every pet I take care of. I pay particular attention to the all specific instructions and of course follow the cues of the precious fur babies themselves!

We truly appreciate your understanding and want to ensure every pup stays safe and comfortable during their stay. We are no longer accepting new clients with dogs that are over 50 lbs, or with high anxiety level , or uncontrollable barking issues. This helps us ensure a safe and enjoyable stay experience for all our furry guests and their roommates. 🌈In addition, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the owners , especially those who come back again and again , gave me the opportunity to care for your beloved little ones! It’s been an incredible journey getting to know dogs with different unique personalities and temperaments. They truly bring so many funny and heartwarming stories into our lives! We usually take the dogs out in the morning or afternoon or provide extra exercise in the neighborhood park depending on the schedule we have. We do daily walk on the trails and woods! We have a fenced yard so your pet can have outdoor fun safely. Also daily cleaning will be provided too. Please bring wet wipes for your pets. Treats for rewards are also recommended. If your pet is big on chewing, please also bring her/his favorite toys too. We provide a crate if needed.

About: Hi! 🐾 myself and my husband have loved animals for as long as we can remember and have cared for dogs and cats since we were little. We are proud dog parents of three pups , and they truly are family! I work from home, so I’m home 24/7 and able to give your fur baby plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and LOTS of cuddles. ❤️ We potty trained all three of our dogs and have experience caring for pets with special needs, including administering insulin to our diabetic pup and keeping a consistent feeding and medication schedule. When your pet is with us, they’ll be treated just like one of our own with lots of love, patience, attention, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work full-time Monday through Friday from home and take my breaks and lunches as an opportunity to get outside in the yard with the dogs. We also love taking our pups on a long walk in the afternoon. We have a fully fenced in yard as well as two Shih Tzu‘s and a Staffordshire terrier that are extremely friendly and have never ever shown signs of aggression in the 9 to 4 years we have had them. Our home also has a number of gates to separate pups if needed. We also have a backyard camera as well as a front door camera. If your pups are outside they will always be supervised. We do allow our animals on the couch as well as our bed as we do have clingy babies who love to cuddle so we are more than happy to cuddle your baby if needed. We also have a six month old at home but we are already used to keeping her at a safe distance from any animals in the home.

“I want to take an extra opportunity to give a great recommendation for Charlotte. . This daycare visit was a test drive prior to selecting Charlotte to provide our Macklins first overnight stay. Based on his excellent care, we also booked Charlotte for his weekend boarding.”

About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.

About: I have volunteered at the Seattle Humane Society for 12 years, and I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, cats and dogs. I am also an English bulldog owner and lover of all animals. I would love to help care for your furry friends and family members! I am available for walks and drop ins, primarily during weekends. I am also available for boarding and overnight stays at my home throughout the week! If you are looking for boarding at my home, I have a fenced in yard to keep your pet safe, and one English Bulldog who is very friendly and gets along with other animals.

“I brought my two beagles to Leslie for a year, and she took wonderful care of them. Leslie was very easy to work with, and whenever my family gets another dog, we definitely plan on using Leslie again.”

“Our dog can be a bit nervous, but he handled everything perfectly. He was patient, attentive, and truly understanding of our dog’s needs. It meant so much to know our pet was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
