Welcome to Brookside Dog Care!

About Us:
Brookside Dog Care is an overnight boarding business located in Lake Forest Park, just north of Seattle. We provide personal care in a kennel free, home-like setting. We welcome your dog as a member of our household while maintaining the routine she/he is accustomed to at home. Our large, landscaped, securely fenced yard offers your dog lots of places to sniff and explore.

 

We provide a warm, loving, yet stimulating environment for your dog. A limited number of dogs allows lots of individual attention as well as daily leashed neighborhood walks and/or visits to an off leash park.

 

At bedtime your dog will have the option of sleeping on one of many dog beds throughout our home, on her/his own bed or on a cozy chair or rug. We can also accommodate a crate.

I opened Brookside Dog Care in 1998 after working for many years as a theatrical costumer. My love of animals and dogs in particular was a natural fit when I decided to take a break from the world of creating costumes. Since retiring from his job as Managing Director of the Seattle Repertory Theatre, my husband Ben has become a more active part of the business. We also share our home with two Beagles we adopted from Seattle Beagle Rescue.

 

I continue to educate myself about the care of dogs and have completed one week of Tellington Touch (TTouch), Spirits in Transition (Animal Hospice: Geriatric and Special Needs Care) workshop, Animal Communication workshop with Mary Getten and various training classes. I am experienced in administering medications and enjoy working with elderly dogs or dogs in medical recovery. We are licensed and insured and I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid.
