When my boyfriend and I had a car breakdown and were stranded in Seattle with our dog during a snowstorm, we figured his birthday plans were ruined. Booking an overnight stay at the last minute was our only option, so finding a host who was open to dogs was such a relief! Heather helped us get safely situated in her home, referred us to local restaurants within walking distance so we could salvage the crummy day with a bit of celebration, and had a hot breakfast waiting for us in the morning. Most notably, she was incredibly gracious when our older dog, who has a nervous tummy and had been through a taxing day, vomited on a rug near the front door within moments of arriving. She assured us not to worry about it, grabbed a wet vac, and had it cleaned up in a flash! The room was warm and cozy with plenty of blankets and there was enough room for our dog bed on the floor near the space heater she provided, so our sweet old doggo was cozy, too. Our room had a private bathroom with a tub, so getting a hot bath to soak away the stress of the day was especially lovely! Heather was a wonderful host and turned our stranded situation into a relaxing birthday getaway. We’ll definitely book with her again for our future Seattle-area travel.
