Get to Know Me

When your dog is at my house, it will be treated as one of the family. I give your furbaby the time, love, and care they need.  Whether it's a lively young pup, or a crotchety senior dog, I am game.

​​

As a long-time dog owner, I am experienced with dog behavior, health, and care. I am comfortable handling dogs of various sizes and energy levels. I have worked with special needs animals, like those with anxiety, with illnesses, and those needing help eating or getting around. I believe in meeting each dog at their level and place in life.

​

My home is located minutes from downtown Duvall. Here there are plenty of places to lounge, alone or with a loving human. Meals are served privately away from other dogs. Dogs get plenty of exercise and stimulation from running, playing, and exploring. Your dog will be kept on-site except for emergencies, as the yard is fully fenced and secure.

​

Dogs are always supervised when I am home. When I am away, dogs are crated or separated by gates and/or doors. A leash is always used when outside the house. 

​​

My family includes 3 dogs, Taika and Cordelia. Taika, born in 2020, is a Miniature Australian Shepherd who is a ball of fun and energy. Taika has epilepsy, so I am very familiar with administering medications and handling medical emergencies.  Cordelia, born in 2022, is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi who loves new friends to play tug and chase with. Rowan, born in 2024, is also a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. Rowan is the quintessential puppy and youngest child. I also have caged birds. The humans include myself, Mike, my partner, and our two teenage sons. 

​

My sitting style is very relaxed. The house and yard are kid and dog-focused. Dogs are allowed on the furniture including beds, unless otherwise instructed. 

 

I am licensed and insured.
