I wanted to love this sit. Don’t get me wrong, the dogs were well cared for. My Turkey was ill when I got home and had lost quite a bit of weight. This very well may not be from the care she received. The instructions I had left for watering… the entire greenhouse was dead, planter pots and all of the dahlia garden. I left healthy , beautiful six foot tomato’s and cucumbers which have had withered and died. The weather was very hot. This is a productive garden yet it was dry and unwatered. The specific instructions regarding the water hose being turned off were not followed. Paula was communicative and sent many lovely pictures. I was unable to reach her for a period of time. Otherwise although very saddened by the gardens, everything else was ok.
Grace was such a gift to me. She communicated beautifully and followed through on everything necessary for caring for my home and Sugar! Even though I came back a day early, everything looked wonderful and Sugar was quite happy!
My time in Gothenburg with Ralph was very nice. Ralph is very sweet. He likes to be in the same room and just enjoy the time with you. Lola and Charlie welcomed me immediately and the communication was great. The apartment is located in the center of Gothenburg and everything is within walking distance. It was a great time and would come back again
I have been pet sitting for quite a while and this was definitely on the top of my list! I was lucky enough to stay at the Silver Star Ski resort durning the lovely summertime. Both dogs are just so sweet. We went on the most stunning hikes. Everyday there was something new to discover. If you like beautiful mountain air and scenery then this is the perfect place to come and do a sit. Olive and her son were such wonderful hosts. They made sure I had everything to be comfortable before they left. I am really hoping to come back again to this magical location and sit for Olive again.
We got a warm & friendly greeting from Stephanie & Derek on our arrival Clear instructions left via welcome guide before the sit & printed on arrival which was very helpful. Their home is absolutely beautiful & in such a lovely peaceful location just a 10 minute drive into York Center. Although large it was warm & cosy & immaculate throughout with lovely comfortable bed fluffy pillows & towels. Just like staying in a 5* hotel! Now to the important part. The pets. They are all adorable & such a pleasure to look after. Charlie boy is a character who loves to watch tv! He has his favourite adverts & sits waiting for them to come on. He especially likes the ones with animals lol 😂 Bella is so sweet & gentle you would never guess she is actually the boss! They love to cuddle up to you of a night & are great company. They are no trouble whatsoever & we’re happy with a few short walks as they have lots of land to run round on. Tiddles is very self sufficient & will come to you now & then for a little stroke & tickle. We wouldn’t hesitate to do this sit again as we couldn’t fault it & there’s still plenty of York we would like to see weather permitting. Thank you for sharing your home & pets with us & making us feel welcome
Howard & Lindsey welcomed me warmly into their lovely home and Howard gave me a tour of the farm while Lindsey prepared a lovely meal. The animals and birds were all a pleasure to look after, especially Titus who had a constant wagging tail and loved to chase a ball. Achilles refused to let her age and poor health stop her from running around the farm and she loved affection. Copper & Ringo were great together and Copper was a gentle giant from day one, while Ringo became more accepting of me after a few feeds! Etna & Norman are wonderful cattle and it was a real pleasure to be close to them. The peacocks are stunning and it was fascinating to see their positions of hierarchy at feeding time. Even with overnight snow and frozen pipes on one day, this sit was hugely rewarding and especially with the help of Howard and Lindsey’s wonderful team of staff. Cameron, the farm hand, spent a few days working the land during the week and we had enjoyable conversations about nature and animals. Belle did a fantastic job of cleaning out the bird cages, Toni cleaned the house to a very high standard and Kelly made the professional care of horses and stables look easy. I can highly recommend this house sit and I look forward to a return visit in January.
This was a last minute sit, which we were delighted to find, after our planned one got cancelled in sad circumstances. The three cats, home, surroundings and little seaside town were delightful. Perfect for a relaxed escape from the big city – comfortable, very clean and well-equipped lived-in home, with doorstep access to fields and forest for great walks and scenery, beautiful sandy bay nearby (where we swam a few times - but not Mediterranean temperatures), access to all we needed in the lively very pretty town with harbour, lots of interesting history. The cats are a trio of very happy, contented, independent, affectionate cats - a good balance of doing their thing - hunting, exploring, sleeping .. and relating to us, though each with a quite distinct personality. We greatly enjoyed being their carers. Sarah is very friendly and easy going. Setting up the sit was done very quickly and easily, and communication was good and as needed. We don't have a car, which was fine in the good weather we had throughout, but can see in colder wetter times, this may be a disadvantage. There are also good bus and train services to get elsewhere including Edinburgh. We highly recommend this sit, and would gladly come again (perhaps not in winter!).
Colleen’s place is great, and Ariel and Ursula are such cute, quirky cats. I would sit for them again in a heartbeat. The neighborhood has great amenities and the apartment is clean and comfortable - perfect for a little getaway. Colleen does a great job making you feel welcome.

Loved it! They were very accommodating and friendly. Our dog loved it and made a friend too. The space they have for the dogs is pretty big even for a big dog. We are using them again already for another trip we have planned! They will even send you photos of your dog if you ask how they are adjusting to the other dogs and space
Trusted our dogs with Happy Tail this past month and it was their first time at any kennel. Happy Tails did incredible! One of our two dogs has severe people anxiety but the team were positive, patient, and caring. They suggested a trial night and took their time letting ‘Z’ warm up to them in his own time. After the trial and the full stay, when we came to pick the dogs up, Z was wagging his tail, running to them, and just a happy guy. With the space to socialize safely with other dogs, run around, and generally be comfortable, our dogs basically had their own vacation! Thanks team!
First time dropping my boy off overnight. I was more anxious than my dog Spock (husky/shepherd) was. These guys know what they are doing! Ensured my dog was up-to-date all vaccinations and fecal tested prior to allowing him for test night. Dog was happy to see me and taken well care of. Will use Happy Tails for sure! ~ Greg LaMadrid
This is what a tired puppy looks like after a day at Happy Tails. Today, we introduced our seven month old GSP named Bullet to Happy Tails. We dropped him off in the morning... Paul took the time showing us his facility and operation. We had a very good impression and were excited for our pup to spent the day in doggy paradise . It’s great that the dogs get to play and socialize with each other all day in a wide range of spacious areas. During the day, Paul kept us updated how Bullet was getting along. After pick up, he gave us a quick recap of the day. When we got home, Bullet got a nice brush and immediately went into deep chill mode. A good dog is a tired dog! We’ll continue to bring our pup to Happy Tails. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Was a relief while traveling to have our three dogs here. They have huge fenced fields for outdoor running and play. We left our dogs here for about a week and they were great at keeping communication via text message throughout the stay. They also provided videos/pictures of the dogs. Our dogs are picky eaters and one started refusing food and they worked with us to adjust their feeding and try different additives and things to get them to eat. They play area is outdoor with some coverings but this is western Washington so they came back honestly cleaner then we were expecting but definitely don't expect them to be spotless. Be realistic with your expectations and know your dogs are in good hands. Would love to have our dogs stay with them again in the future.
The people and services at Happy Tails are both top notch. We've been a long time customer and have recommended Happy Tails to many others. They have been a trusted partner and truly care about the well-being of each of the dogs they care for. Their facilities and large yards are great for providing the exercise our little guys need, and they always come back looking happy and like they had a fun little vacation from their parents!
Excellent.! we have 2 Rotweillers and they treated them like they're own. Anyone who knows Rottys know they are not shy. And you would be able to tell if they didn't have fun. I think our Female would have stayed there if she could. She played with the other dogs the whole time. Our male likes people more than dogs and they knew that so he stayed with the staff. Most of the time. They know how to handle our pups. And they are better dogs from the experience. I would highly recommend them. And anyone who knows Rotweiller owners know they're not shy either. Thanks again.
I had heard and read great things about Happy Tails initially, and was excited for our dogs to spend a week in their care; but unfortunately in our case the hype did not live up to it’s name. Paul and Tina were great on our trial visit, and the place seemed clean and we were happy with what we saw. Upon pickup however, the condition of our dogs proved otherwise. One dog came home with the goopiest, yellow eye infection that she certainly did not arrive with; so bad that one of her eyes was swollen and crusted shut. It was also clear that no effort was made to dry them off (they have long, wirey coats) after running around in the wet muddy yard, which means they came home with matted/stinky/itchy fur (I’m sure this probably contributed to the eye issue as well). I was disappointed that no effort was made to treat the eye problem, despite their claim to administer veterinary care should it be needed - the medicine was $20 and I would’ve been happy to reimburse. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.
After a terrible experience with hobodog in Bonney Lake I found Happy Tails in Enumclaw. Upon arrival to check the place out I notice large fields of grass for dogs to run and play in, nicely separated to keep the big dogs with the big dogs, and the little ones with the little ones. They were happy to show me the inside of the facility so I could see where my rottweiler Zeus would be sleeping. The inside was modern and clean. Each dog has a good sized kennel for when they're not playing. When Zeus stays there, one of the workers often times takes pictures of the dogs playing and posts them on Facebook. It's nice to see while I'm gone that Zeus gets to have some fun with other dogs. I can tell that the workers at Happy Tails are responsible people and love their dogs. I trust them with Zeus.
A first-class dog boarding kennel. The handlers really care for the dogs that they watch over. We can see our dog picture from their Facebook page. They’re always quick to respond to any questions about your pet.
Kelly is absolutely amazing. Her place is clean and comfortable and the dogs really are spoiled. She spends so much quality time with the dogs .I never worry one bit about my dog when she is with Kelly. The dogs are always happy and having a great time when I’ve stopped by to drop off or pick up. When we are gone for an extended period of time we get pictures and updates. Really puts you at ease when you know your fur kids are getting such great care. We can’t say enough good things about Kelly’s Creature Comforts
Kelly's Creature Comforts is the only place we trusted to leave our yellow lab Gunner with! Kelly and everyone who works for her are amazing. Gunner had allergies and they were always happy to give him the care he needed. He loved staying with them. Now apart from boarding your dog they also have an incredible Sniff Park. You owe it to yourselves and your dogs to check her out.
Kelly's Creature Comforts was so perfect for my sweet Annie Oakley who was not even a year old. I felt like she had a "home away from home " feeling for a whole week. It is such a wonderful facility that provided my Annie with a spacious indoor play area along with lots of room to run and play outside and socialize with other dogs. She had her own little room with comfortable bedding and toys. Kelly is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs (animals) and ensures a safe, very clean & lots of FUN environment for them. I live an hour away from Kelly but I would drive however long it took me to leave my Annie with her!! I highly recommend Kelly's Creature Comforts!! I can't wait for our next vacation so Annie can get some more "Kelly LOVE"!!!
I took my dog, Luna to Kelly's CC this summer while I was temporarily living in the area. Kelly was extremely warm and friendly. After our initial call, I knew that Luna would be in good hands with Kelly - a true dog watching pro. Luna had a few overnights with Kelly this Summer. Luna is a little bit of an anxious/ nervous girl, and Kelly went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable, and helped her eat when she was too nervous to eat. I felt relaxed and at ease knowing that Luna was in good hands with Kelly. I would definitely recommend her, she's fantastic!
I have been a big fan of KCC since my first use of their services six years ago. What started out as stopping by to see to the needs of my five cats morphed into using at-home walking services when I got a dog. I don't think a kinder, more loving group of people who show uptmost care and respect for animals and my home are available in my area. If my non-vocal Husky would talk he'd howl them high praise!
I love Kelly's Creature Comforts. This place is clean, Well organized, loving and is like a real home away from home. My 9 yr old Shepherd,who doesnt like me to be out of her sight, feels at home here and is treated with sensitive care and concern. Kelly really understands dogs and knows how to manage each one. Kelly makes sure that meds are given as prescribed and needed. The bedrooms for each dog are true luxury. There is clean room to play inside and out and sofas for dogs who like to feel at home. This is the only place I would have my dog stay. Thank you Kelly's Creature Comforts Team.!!!
My boy loves the time he spends at Kelly's. He is very social and has alot of energy. I never have to worry about him cause I know he is well taken care of. Kelly's know their dogs!
I have used KCC several times to board my dog and wouldn't go anywhere else. Great facility for the dogs and I know Kelly will treat my pup with great care. She loves to romp with other dogs and KCC gives her all that and more. Cage free fun!
Highly recommend Kelly’s Creature Comforts! They are the best around. My Australian shepherd loves going to dog daycare each week. She gets excited when we get close to Sharon’s and always comes home happy and tired. I know my dog is cared for and loved and gets plenty of exercise. Forever grateful we found Kelly’s Creature Comforts as we never have to stress when we take a trip as I know our pup is getting the best care and feels at home! The best place for your furry best friend!
I really enjoy having Kelly's to take our dog to. He always enjoys himself, and comes home tired after having such a good time. Kelly is great with communications when she has your dog, and is very good at making sure your dog is the right fit for her place. She's definitely made it a home away from home for the dogs that visit.
We frequently send one of our 2 dogs for daycare, then the other one on a different day. They both get some time with other dogs and some time at home as the only dog. When we need boarding they get great care with Donna.
My dog gives this place 5 stars, he starts howling with excitement when we turn down the road. Donna and Chris take such good care of our pup. You can tell they both really care about the dogs. We use them for daycare and boarding. Can't recommend Rusty Horse enough ☺️
I left my shy pup at Donna’s for two nights while I was in the Mt Rainier area, since dogs aren’t allowed on the national park trails. She did a great job working with him and he came out of his shell and loved his time there. If I lived closer, I’d definitely be sending my pup to Donna’s for daycare. Would recommend!
You can tell that the owner Donna, loves dogs. My dog enjoys his home away from home.
Donna is the dog whisperer. We know our pup is well taken care of while we are away. He gets to socialize and play with other dogs while feeling the fresh air on his fur.
We've had our Buddy there several times now over the past few years. Donna does a wonderful, loving job and charges a very reasonable rate.
Donna takes great care of your furry friends!
Super place for the dogs, they love it.....
We had the best experience with Rosy taking care of our flock of chickens while we were away for two weeks! She was experienced, trustworthy, and a great communicator. We loved getting occasional pictures of them via email! We highly recommmend Rainier Pet Care - it’s difficult to find people to take care of farm animals, and she did a fantastic job. We will be using her services again!
I just can't say enough good things about Angela's Pet Care, so this will be a long, detailed review. Angela made twice-daily visits to our home for more than three weeks, during which she provided complete care and loving human companionship to our two cats. I can truthfully report that our male cat is IN LOVE with Angela. Our little female cat would be a challenge for any care-giver, because she has medical conditions that require three medications daily, and on top of that, had seriously injured an eye (just before our trip was to begin!) - so required two additional meds twice per day. We were very concerned about leaving that kitty in anyone's care. Angela relieved all of our anxieties by giving all five medications every day, right on schedule, plus she paid close attention to the eye and kept us informed about everything. Giving that many medications to a naturally shy cat might be expected to cause some trauma, but remarkably, we came home to a cat that was trusting, outgoing, confident, and with a healed eye - all a testament to Angela's gentle, able, handling of her, and the special effort she made to cultivate trust and playfulness. (Thank you, Angela!) Angela's Pet Care sets the highest possible standard for reliable, compassionate pet care. Angela has a calm, competent and confident presence that made the cats (and me) very comfortable with her, and was 100% backed up by her actions. She is highly professional and diligent; showed up at consistent times every day without fail; provided all the cat necessities along with brushing, play, and litterbox maintenance; watered our plants; brought in packages; and emailed us many, many visit reports that included photos that put us at ease during our time away. This was the best care imaginable, it far exceeded our expectations, and we're very grateful.
I can't say enough about Angela. She has been caring for our 2- year-old small dog named Titan for 11 months now (2 days a week). Angela took extra time to make sure he would be a good fit to play with the other dogs she cares for before taking him on, which we really appreciated. He is always so excited to see her and the other dogs each morning we drop him off. She has a huge fenced in yard for them to run around in, and let's them hang out in her house and takes them on a walk. Titan is always very tired when he gets home, so we know he gets lots of exercise there, which is great because he is a high energy dog living in a small condo. In a few months we are taking a 9-day trip to Mexico and Angela will be watching him. We know he will feel right at home with her during that time. Angela is also a great communicator and even sends us pictures every now and then. I'll post a few:-)
We are so thankful to Angela for the care and attention she gives our dogs when we need to travel. It eases our minds knowing they are in a loving environment getting a lot of attention from Angela and the other pups with her for boarding and/or daycare. We love that there are other pups there, but not too many like a lot of the other boarding/day care places we've tried in the past. The space the dogs have to explore is secure and safe and inside, the pups are treating like family members! Angela's service request system is easy to use and she is super responsive to questions! She came highly recommended to us from a very picky, zoo keeper friend - so we knew Angela must be good - and she is!!
So glad we found Angela's pet care! We've used her twice so far for weeklong trips out of state. Both trips had flight changes and she was so accommodating by adding or removing scheduled visits. She sends email updates after each visit with details of the visits and pictures! I know my cats are being well looked after with her. Highly recommend Angela's Pet Care!
Angela is the best dog daycare we have found since getting our girl almost 2 years ago. Once I met her I knew I wanted her to watch my Daisy full time and eventually brought her from her original daycare over. I haven't encountered anyone who has been so considerate of the needs for my specific dog, who actually requires special care around meal time. On her own Angela has made the effort to help train our girl in so many different areas helping her to behave socially in a way that actually let's her share how sweet and loving she is. I can't say enough good things about Angela, truly. 15/10 highly recommend!!
Angela was the best day care provider for my dog, Honey! She gave lots of loves and walks. She was attentive and took care of all Honey’s needs while in her care. It was fun getting periodical pictures of my dog’s activities during the day. Angela is accommodating, friendly, reliable, and professional. I would highly recommend her services.
Angela offers a great service As a pet sitter / care taker… while I was away, She visited daily to feed and pampurrrr willow. Thanks Angela, I will definitely be calling you again
We just got our puppy from Paula. Paula is so sweet and extremely reliable. She drove up to the Canadian Border to meet us there because we couldn't cross at the time. She breeds wonderful and lovable puppies. Recommend her 100%
Our experience with the breeder Paula has been wonderful, and we would definitely recommend her and her precious beagles to a friend! We brought our adorable puppy home 5 days ago, well taken care of and with all her documents. Paula helped us leave with puppy feeling prepared with strategies for house-breaking and training. Puppy has been such a joy to have in our home, with her sweet kisses, constantly wagging tail, and little gallops as she chases the cat around. She is a smart cookie and is already getting the hang of potty and crate training, with some accidents here and there! Sweet baby is trying! I mean what is not to love... thank you, Paula!
We adopted our beagle named Dobby in Oct 2022 after we lost our 16 year old beagle. Dobby has the best personality and brings us so much joy each day. He is as curious and naughty as all beagles are. He spends alot of time at Precious Companions when we travel and absolutely loves it. Paula is so knowledgeable about the dogs. She has helped us keep our little boy as healthy as possible. If you want an amazing dog who will make your family complete she is the one to adopt from or to take your dogs to for boarding.
For the first time ever boarding my dogs this was a great experience. She took great care of both of my dogs, and I felt pricing was fair for the quality of service. Thank you!
Paula runs a puppy mill of sick puppies. Read the Yelp reviews. I had a sick puppy of hers, he died just after his second birthday of an auto-immune disease and breathing complications. She ruined buying from breeders for me, she was even recommended by a coworker. $11,000 in vet bills later, left without our puppy to love. So how about that refund, Paula?
Paula is very professional and good to work with. She sent us weekly pictures and answered any questions I had within a timely manner. We just picked up our Beagle puppy from her a few days ago and he is a healthy loving pup. He warmed right up to us and is very social little guy. He is fitting right in with our family. Thank you Paula for a good experience and breeding such wonderful family companions.
Paula is the best! We've boarded our pup here and he's always happy and healthy when picked up. Plenty of good exercise and Paula is so amazing with animals. Highly recommend!
Paula is just amazing. Very personable, understanding and most of all patient. Just boarded 2 dogs for 2 nights and although I have 2 little devils she made sure they felt at home and adapted to what their needs were. Also her pricing is ALOT better and affordable than most business. I would definitely 100% recommend.
Yesterday I picked up my 3rd beagle pup from Paula, and couldnt be more happy with the experience. All 3 were extremely healthy and happy and adapted very easy to their new home. Paula worked with our schedule and almost always answered our questions within an hour or two. If anyone is looking for their own little bundle of love and joy, this is definitely the place to go.
We just met our 3rd beagle baby. She is absolutely adorable. We can't wait to introduce her to her new home. The first time we purchased a fur baby from Paula was over 16 years ago. Madison was a fun loving beagle who lived to be 16 years old. It broke our hearts to say goodbye. Ariel followed her sister To Heaven at the age of 15. After being without our babies for a month, we decided our home was not complete. I called Paula to see if she had a new litter. She did, but she also had s little girl beagle who was 9 months old and had been returned two days prior to my call. She needed a loving home where she could heal from possible abuse. She was the first to join our family. She is the most beautiful little girl but is afraid of everything. It breaks my heart to imagine the life she had before we got her. Today, we took her to help us select a new sister. Paula let us meet her mother too. Our new fur baby will join us at the end of June. We are so excited to be able to share our home and our love with these wonderful pets. Paula breeds some gorgeous dogs and she wants them to be placed in happy homes. I'm so fortunate to have found her so long ago. Thank you, Paula!
We have been taking our pups to Shaggy Shack for years! We absolutely love the staff and the extra care that they take with our animals. This family owned and operated business exceeds expectations every single time. They take extraordinary care with dog behaviors and are experienced dealing with multiple dogs and multiple behaviors. The owners have set their dog yards up so all dogs are cared for and protected. We cannot say enough good things! We have used boarding, daycare and grooming and highly recommend Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and Spa. The Candiliere Family
Went to check it out for our dog, welcoming, friendly, cared, clean, they have dog or cat daycare or over night and grooming!!!
They take care of Koa like he is their own. He's been boarded here twice and have never been disappointed. Whenever we are on vacation and ask how he is doing we get an immediate response with pictures and video clips of him. He loves it here... He is always so calm when we pick him up.
Desiree at Shaggy Shack took great care of our Labradoodle when he went in for grooming, and he came back looking great. This is definitely where we're taking him.
Kicker has been attending daycare here for over 4 years now. We love it. He is such a happy boy when he knows we are doing down the long driveway to the daycare. Thank you for always tiring my puppers out. He sleeps well after daycare.
My husband and I dropped off our dog for 4 nights. She was well taken care of and we got a full report from the staff on her stay when we picked her up. She's so tired from all the playing, she had a blast! She's usually a timid dog but at the Shaggy Shack she felt right at home! Thank you guys for taking such great care of her! We will definitely be bringing her back!
The Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and the staff are amazing and provided such a great experience for my dog, Eliza. This was a new experience for Eliza and she gets nervous, however, Eliza stayed there multiple days and was so well taken care!! The staff obviously not only love dogs but are amazing at interacting with the dogs and making sure my slightly anxious dog was grouped with calmer dogs her size. I was so pleased she was able to enjoy some socialization without feeling overwhelmed. I think she had fun with the other dogs and the great staff! Charles was fabulous at keeping me apprised of her experience and I feel completely comfortable with leaving Eliza in such great hands. The staff and owner care about these dogs as individuals with their unique needs and seem to have an instinct with helping each animal to ensure they have the best experience possible. I highly recommend this well run and caring environment for anyone's pets
Justynes dog grooming is here.. my dog loves going here to her
Friendly staff, affordable and very easy to make an appointment.
Shaggy Shack has been great for our puppy since day 1. He's an ACD and has a ton of energy. We use Shaggy for daycare to help him get the exercise he needs during the work week. They love him like their own and he comes home exhausted. The staff is great and friendly and we've had great boarding experiences there as well when we've needed. It's like a second home for our pups!
Our chocolate lab loves it here! We take him to daycare weekly, and he’s always extremely excited to go to “school.” Our pooch comes home tired (but contented) after romping with his pals and roaming the yard. We also feel very comfortable boarding him for extended periods of time, and the owners were very accommodating when we needed to travel out of state for a family emergency. The owners know all the dogs’ individual personalities, and they care for them like their own. They genuinely love dogs and I appreciate their practical, common-sense, and cage-free approach. I’m very grateful to Hobo Dog Haven for being our dog’s home away from home!
We left a Dutch Shepherd and 14 yr old Shepherd Doberman here for a weekend. They clearly had a wonderful time playing with other dogs and were so happy . They were looked after with great care. There was plenty of shade and AC. I recommend this place, and owners of dogs can be assured of capable care and special instructions from the dog owners followed carefully by the Hobo Kennel owners.
My 8 year old German Shepherd, Emma, has had some incidences of fear aggression with other dogs in the past, so I was very nervous about leaving her here. We did a half-day trial, and Betsy introduced her to the other dogs slowly. Emma did great. Betsy was sure she would be fine, so we left her for five days while we were away. When we got back, Emma was relaxed, happy and hanging out with the other dogs like it was the most normal thing in the world! I was amazed. Last week we took her to a dog park where there were 11 other dogs, and she greeted them easily with a wagging tail. It's like I have a different dog. I am so pleased. Betsy at Hobo Dog Haven understands dog behavior and can read their body language. I trust her judgment. This was a very positive experience, and we will definitely use Hobo Dog Haven again. It's so much less stressful than a kennel for anxious dogs.
This place is amazing! Very reasonable rates for both daycare and boarding! Our dog started going here when she was old enough to play with other dogs.. We have had very little behavior issues because she is able to get her puppy energy out! I always thought it pretentious to take the dog to daycare, but it helps immensely for bigger dogs and getting that energy out...This I strongly believe has made easier training and cutting out bad behaviors due to boredom...
This place should be named Hobodog Heaven. I originally brought my dog here for week-day dog care, but I have begun to use them for weekends and overnight if we are on a trip where the dog can't go. Our dog Shadow is a member of our family and truly spoiled at home. She receives the same care and attention at Hobodog Haven, the same as if she were with us. So the lawn (field) isn't mowed; so the maintenance is not on par with a sub-division looking home. Your dog DOESN'T CARE. All she really needs is a friendly caretaker, a place to play and romp with the other dogs, meals, and a cozy place to crash after play-time. She gets that and more. The owners Doug & Betsy care about your pet; they are in-tune with how they feel that day and watch over them all as if they were their own. Slightly shabby chic? Trust me, your dog doesn't care, and neither will you if you try them out. Prices are more than fair - about half what I paid in Puyallup. If you want sterile dog kennels and higher prices there are plenty of places to take your dog. If you want a happy, tired, well cared for dog upon your return, go to Hobodog.
My dog loves this place. She gets to play, run in & out, sleep where she wants, and gets plenty of attention. Owner Betsy even let her sleep on the bed one day because the dog seemed "a little tired". Just like home to her. Forget the negative reviews. The price is the best you will find, the care is top-notch and my dog is not in a kennel. Plenty of places like that around that are sterile and impersonal, very few like Hobodog Haven.
We boarded our dog, Eli, for a couple of days. They took great care of him despite him being nervous. It is obvious that they love dogs! They commented on a couple of mannerisms of my pom. It shows an attention to detail and love of animals. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thanks again for taking good care of Eli!
Wow! I read the review by Michael and I have to say I'm absolutely astonished by its' content. My name Is Jim Sequist and I live in Pierce county. I have two dogs, an 11 year old Chocolate Lab (Chase) and a three year old white medium sized dog with black and brown spots.(Cody) My wife and I love our dogs like the family members they are. We have been leaving Chase in the care of Hobodog Haven for as many years as they have been in business. The first time we left Chase there he almost couldn't contain his excitement at seeing and hearing the other dogs. He seemed to be telling us at first glance that he was very happy to be there. Please keep in mind that we were anxious about leaving him anywhere because he, at the time had severe separation anxiety whenever we left him anywhere, even at home alone. After going over Chase's feeding requirements and any other particulars about him with Doug, we thought we were in for a dramatic display of "Mommy, Daddy please don't go!!!. In reality, when we said goodbye to Chase, he didn't even want to stop playing long enough to get his ears scratched and petted. If he could have talked I imagine he would have said something like "see ya, don'y hurry back. I'll be just fine here". We were gone for about a week and when we came to get him he was glad enough to see us to take about 5 seconds to greet us before going back to his buddies. As we were leaving he whined and cried and kept looking back to see the guys. He didn't want to leave. It was several months before we needed to leave chase for a second time. As we pulled into the driveway, he got more and more excited and when the house came into view he began barking as if to say " hey fellas, I'm back. He couldn't wait to get out of the truck. This behavior on his part has been repeated every time we take him back there. We have to go out of town soon so we brought both Chase and Cody in to meet Doug and Patsy. Again Chase recognized his favorite "doggie resort" and Cody was as excited to be there as Chase ever was. We feel very good about leaving our boys in Doug's' and Patsy's care. I can't imagine even considering leaving them anywhere else as long as we live in the area. I hope Michael will read this and re-think his decision to never leave his dog there. Yes, it is true that the property is rather rustic. No manicured lawns or expensive landscaping, but there are multiple fenced in areas where the dogs can run and play. There are secure areas that have trails through the woods around the house where, in Doug's words, the dogs can run around and pretend that they are "ferocious woods beasties". This is a wonderful alternative to most other dog boarding facilities and it should be remembered that the place is set up to be comfortable and enjoyable for dogs not humans. It would be a real shame for someone to read such a negative review such as the one I have referred to and have their pet miss out on a wonderful experience with other pups. Big kudos to Hobodog Haven and to Doug and Patsy for their fore-site in providing such a great place for dogs.
This place scares me. I stopped by to check it out while looking for a place to board my rottweiler. I brought my dog with me to show him around. The person working there let us into a fenced off area just outside of the building the dogs stay in. Outside the place seemed decent like the dogs have room to run around and play. I asked if I could look at the inside and they said no. I asked why, and they said they couldn't in case one of the dogs were to bite me or my dog. They tried to assure me that it wouldn't happen... but I simply can't leave my dog somewhere where they won't let me see the place that my dog is to stay at. For all I know it's poop and urine encrusted on the inside. To be honest the place looked like it needed some serious maintenance. While driving in you can tell that the yard rarely has any up keeping done on it which is a sign to me of a place I don't want my dog staying. I wouldn't suggest anyone ever leave their dog here. edit 12/21/2013 - After reviewing the owner's response I hope people can see how silly they are. Any other place will gladly allow potential dog owners to see where their dog will be staying. The owners of hobodog are going to great lengths to prevent that from happening which only shows they have something to hide. I suppose this would be a great place to leave your dog if you don't care about them at all. I have chosen to take my dog to Happy Tails in Enumclaw. Over two years of occasional work travel I can honestly say Zeus loves Happy Tails.
I took my 10 month old puppy to stay at hobo dog haven over the weekend. He came home with a bite mark across his nose and cuts on his nose and under his eye. He was also limping and lethargic. He is a sweet and non-aggressive dog. When he first came home, he was also ravenously hungry and thirsty. I am so upset he was not properly supervised. I will never take my dog back here.
Elizabeth is wonderful with my dogs, and love her!! I trust her so much with my fur babies that she’s actually dog sat at my house for several days. She has an amazing attitude about taking care of my babies. Can’t ask for more.
Elizabeth is awesome, our little doggo loves hanging out with her when we are traveling or working a long day. She’s Super friendly, ultra reliable, and I’d highly recommend her without hesitation, be it for dog walks or feeding and checking in on your fur legged friends when you are out and about. Thanks!!! P.s. she’s a fantastic pet photographer as well, see Sammy’s pic😎
Fur Face is pawsitivly the best care your you family members (pets). Phineas loves his time with Elizabeth. She is an honest, respectful, and caring professional that invests time with each client's pet and takes care of them like her own. I highly recommend Fur Face Pet Care for you and your family.
Elizabeth is absolutely amazing! She took great care of my Guinea pig for a few days while I was out of town! She followed all of my instructions and gave my furbaby all the care and attention he needed. She had a great communication and was a pleasure to have her help! 10/10 I recommend to anyone that wants to make sure their pet is in great hands.
Elizabeth is amazing! First time trusting someone other than my mom with our precious baby girl Cotton. Cotton is our cat fur baby. She is 1 year 8 months and Elizabeth went above & beyond to make sure she was taken care of while we were away on vacation for 10 whole days. She sent pictures daily, voice messages with updates, and checked in everyday. She changed her water and food daily plus cleaned her litter box too. Discarded liter in the garbage and really took over for us fully while we were in a different country. We fully trust Elizabeth for future vacations and it has truly provided us with ease knowing we have someone who will love Cotton close to as much as we do. Elizabeth has years of experience and knows the personality of pets including the do’s & dont’s. Thank you so much for your services Elizabeth! ❤️
Working with Elizabeth has been fantastic - she is friendly, and a great communicator. Elizabeth has been wonderful to my pets, caring for their individual needs, and they just love her!
My 3 kitties love Elizabeth!!! She is so professional and we never worry when we go away. She gives updates regularly and is easy to work with. If you have pets that you don’t want to be stressed out going to a kennel call Fur Face Pet Care!!!
Elizabeth is an honest and reliable pet sitter and dog walker. She has taken care of my dog Rosie for many years. I highly recommend her!
Thank you I appreciate your review!
Our boy Rico attended Brittney’s pack for a while. He loved it, he’d come home tired and happy. We always felt like he was well taken care of. He is a puppy and Brittney definitely tried her best to accommodate to his puppy needs. He even injured his tail because he was too happy, got “happy tail” one day. He is a little menace and tried to jump over the fence a couple times which caused him to injure his leg but Brittney was always very transparent and informed my husband and I. If your dog isn’t a little menace like ours you should totally go with Brittney’s outstanding business, the puppies have plenty of room to play and they will be loved and cared for. We will miss Brittney’s dog house very much.
If anyone out there is looking for a place that will love your four-legged fur baby like it was their own. Brittany‘s dog house is the place to go not only do they do doggy daycare. They have boarding and they do grooming. I have done all three and you will be incredibly happy with either service you choose to use
Brittney is spectacular! I brought my puppy to her daycare over a year ago and just recently used her for boarding with my 2 dogs who are 1 and 3. My younger girl was a rescue from Mexico and she is very cautious around everyone but she loves dogs, I told Brittney my fears as we would be over 5 hours away with no cell service and she took excellent care of my babies. She helped me out when I didn't bring enough food and she kept me updated with pictures as a bonus! Great prices and always a great experience. so grateful to have a place i trust my dogs to go.
Brittney is amazing! She’s been watching our 3 dogs for 3 years now. We have her drop in on our pups on days my husband and I both work, we also have her help out when we go on vacation. She’s also dropped everything to take one of our dogs to the vet when my husband and I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t recommend her more. Our dogs love her. She’s super communicative and sends us lots of pictures when we are on vacation. We know our dogs are in good hands with her.
Brittney is literally the sweetest person! I searched high and low for a place to let my baby boy Boston have someplace to hang out at during the day while his Dad & I have to work. He is a 7 month old rottweiler that isnt neutered, so not a single place would even bother to acknowledge him or agree to meet him because he didnt meet their "requirements." Well Brittney didnt even hesitate to invite him over for a meet and greet with her pack of pups to see if Boston would fit in with her crew. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and how much she cares for her pack. My boy has been going to her place for daycare for about 2 weeks now and I cannot be happier about how excited he gets as soon as we turn into her lane. He sees her and he goes nuts, that's how I know she is amazing. Because dogs know when they are loved and cared for, and will show it ❤ She sends me updates (because I'm one of those hover moms that worries about everything) and even sent me pic updates to put my mind at ease. if you are looking for a place to bring your pup to burn off some energy, look no further. You will not regret trusting Brittney with the care of your pets.
We LOVE Brittney’s dog house! My dogs get so excited to stay with her, and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone!
The best daycare and boarding for your dogs in Pierce County!
This is my niece & she is fantastic with animals. I highly recommend her. She and her soon to be husband have customized their home to accommodate a great pet facility. You won’t be disappointed.
Hi Vivian! I noticed you rated my business a 4 out of 5 stars and I was wondering if you could comment on this? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of caring for your pets. Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve your rating to a full five stars. Thank you!
