It was a delight looking after the pets for Penny. Mya, Sigur (dogs) and Rocket (cat) are friendly and playful, and love their strokes and cuddles. There are plenty of good places in the area to take the dogs for their walks.
Pet sitting Raven was so much fun! If you want a dog with energy that’ll keep up with you on walks, runs, and explorations you’ve found her. Keep a squeaky toy around, snacks in your pocket, and your clipper card filled for trips to the dog park and your sit will be smooth sailing. Angela was amazing with communicating and making my stay as comfortable as possible. She made sure Raven and I both had everything we needed, checked in every few days to make sure things were okay, and was an absolutely gracious host. I would sit for them again in a heartbeat and I hope all my wits are just as rewarding. ❤️
It’s a Superking bed, people!! And sooo comfortable. In fact the whole guest suite was beautifully presented, it definitely felt like a posh hotel! Everything was very well organised for both our sit and the dog’s care. We were provided with a comprehensive sit document, as well as the Welcome Guide. Susan and Paul’s home is extremely comfortable (and so deliciously warm on the cold nights) and designed to be easy to look after, which it was! We had popped over a few weeks before the sit to meet the dogs and have a chat, and Susan and Paul were very welcoming. When we arrived on the day, Susan’s Paul took my Paul out for a walk with the dogs to show him the route(s). This is invaluable for countryside sits! They were helpful with any queries we had and all round great people. The furry girls were all fabulous company. We loved the space to walk them, and it was nice seeing so many horses about. Puzzle goes haring off into the distance if she spots a deer (she never catches them) but always comes back. She LOVES to play ball. She was the quietest of the three, and tended to stay out of the way of the other two. Roxy is adorable with her tongue sitting out and the way she sits on her cushion like a human! An absolutely sweetheart. Lottie was a bundle of energy, and would always initiate playing with Roxy. She did have a roll in something mucky a few times, but is very good with being hosed down. They all have excellent recall to whistle, and would often play tag with a stick on a walk. They’d be waiting for pets in the morning, and sit outside the side door when it was walking time! They are all very well behaved when it comes to feeding time. The effort put into their training really shows. We felt very secure that they’d happily roam the area closer to the house and wander back in for a nap when they fancied! All in all - brilliant people, home, and animals. We’d sit again in a heartbeat.
Karin’s home in Oak Bay is a lovely sit with a very special Portuguese water dog called Selkie. Selkie is simply adorable, amazing on leash, in the car and off leash, easy to take with you. She is highly intelligent and a bit of a mischievous clown at times. Karin’s home has a sweet, landscaped garden with a water feature and many birds including robins, chickadees, as well a hot tub! Highly recommend and we would be happy to return.
Peaches and Bob were both adorable and well-behaved. House very well situated. And Albir/Altea one of my favourite parts of the world. Very recommendable.
This was a wonderful sitting experience!! Michelle is a fantastic human, and Norris and Sharkie are fantastic four legged kiddos! Very easy going furbabies, loving and lots of fun. The house is cozy and modern, with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. Michelle is a great communicator and left very detailed instructions, as well as lots of suggestions on how to get the most out of exploring Flagstaff. I would happily sit again anytime!!

words simply cannot express how grateful i am for kali and her park play service. i moved to seattle recently for a new job where i have to go into the office every day. this means i end up leaving my poor doggo at home alone. i was so worried about this transition for my pup, but kali made it ~so easy~. kali takes my doggo to the park ~every day~ and takes SUCH good care of her. (seriously, look at that smile!) kali also does a great job of letting me know how my pup’s day went at the park (usually with photos). and my doggy is always happy and tired by the time i come home :’). HIGHLY recommend kali to all dog parents!!!
Kali is an absolute blessing!!! Seriously I've never seen my dog happier than when he came home after a day with Kali and the pack. Her services are so unique I was SO excited when I found out what she offered! Seriously! Don't second guess yourself if you're thinking of going with Kali to give your pup the attention they deserve while you're out/busy. (plus her rates are sooo reasonable, absolutely worth every penny) We couldn't be happier <3
Kali's genuine love and care for dogs has been such an amazing experience for us! We adopted our sweet and timid 50lb Shepard Husky mix a year ago and knew we needed to get her socialized. That's when Kali came to the rescue. I honestly can't say enough great things about Kali and her wonderful pet-caring services. Not only did Kali build trust, safety, and a loving relationship with our dog, she helped train Carmy to be more comfortable with car rides! Kali goes above and beyond and we are so grateful (and lucky) to know her! Would wholeheartedly recommend Kali's K9s!
Kali is amazing! She was a life saver when my dog Tater Tot was a puppy. Kali is also a kind, patient person and really takes the time to understand the details about my dog. She would even coordinate with other dog owners that she knew my dog got along with best. I have great peace of mind knowing my dog is always in good hands with Kali. Highly recommend!
Kali is absolutely a gem! My girls (Pomsky and Shepherd both around 40lbs) absolutely love going to parks with Kali. She definitely runs their energy out by the end of their park trip! She is also so communicative. We’ve been thru many dog walkers since moving to Seattle and no one compares to Kali.
We are so happy to have found Kali’s K9 dog care! We got our two Chihuahua pups before the pandemic and they never really had a chance to be socialized with other dogs. Now that we are back to work it’s been a blessing to have found Kali for dog sitting, regular walks and careful socializing. She knows exactly which dogs would be a good match to get them used to other animals. We feel 💯 at ease that they are in good hands. Kali is Wonderful
Kali has been taking care of my dog for several years. She’s my number one choice! My dog loves her, she is reliable, kind and always sends me pictures and updates. She has stayed in our home and boarded our dog with her. She is the nicest person and I highly recommend her for all your pet needs! Sometimes I send my dog to her just for fun, even when we are in town!
Kali has been pet sitting my cat, Daria, since a month after I adopted her. Whenever I need to go out of town Kali is great at sending me little updates on how Daria is doing. I know I don’t need to worry, that Daria is being lovingly cared for. On top of the wonderful care she provides my cat, Kali has been flexible with scheduling, responsive to texts, and easy to work with. While I know Kali will board pets, she’s also willing to come to your home to care for your animals (which is far less stressful for my cat). I would absolutely recommend Kali to care for your fur baby.
Kali is the best dog walker in seattle!! My dog is shy and scared of most people. Kali is so patient and caring for him. She took him one on one first so she can know more about how he reacts on the street. He’s now building trust with Kali which I’m really appreciated!!! She always send me many beautiful pictures while walking him and I’m so glad to see his happy smily face. And after I’m home I can tell my dog is having a great day and tired😌
My wife and I were lucky enough to find Kali in the summer of 2022 when we had just rescued a new dog who was dealing with paralyzing fear and anxiety issues. I will never forget the day Kali met us at the park to do a meet + greet and showed us (and our dog, Mars) a level of kindness and understanding that can be difficult to find in Seattle. We were overwhelmed by the amount of help that Mars needed and were struggling to find someone who was willing to work with her and gain her trust. Kali has been our dog walker and sitter ever since and to say that we are thankful for her is an understatement. She has changed our life (and Mars's life) in ways that are difficult to explain. Kali has become a friend to us and one of the few trusted people in Mars's life. We are happy customers (to say the least) and I cannot recommend her enough!
Lindsay has watched our cats twice and is a trusted, kind, and reliable pet sitter. Highly recommend! One of our cats is very shy but befriended Lindsay quickly. Do not hesitate to call Wild Pack Pet Care!!
Our little Louie is pretty hesitant to meet new people, but he warmed up to Lindsay almost immediately. We are so grateful that she is so attentive to Louie’s needs and always makes sure that he has a great time while we are gone! Lindsay goes above and beyond with pet care, and I would recommend this business to anyone needing pet care services.
Looks so cute, right?! While true, Grover is also a bit ornery, has developed a taste for fingers, and is quite discriminating when it comes to his circle of trust. So I was surprised and elated that he’d immediately taken so well to the pros at Wild Pack—they definitely have the It Factor when it comes to dealing with special little dogs with special little needs. This is a one in a million success for my dude, and we’re not about to shake that up. Grover will be a member of the Wild Pack for life!
Lindsay is fabulous. I can tell how much she cares for my dog. The photos and videos she shares always has Koko smiling. And, Koko doesn't smile easily when I'm not around because of her separation anxiety. I'm so glad to have found her!
Excellent, highly recommend! We were in a bind because we just moved to the area, had an upcoming trip for a wedding, and our booked sitter canceled last minute. Wild Pack to the rescue! They took the time to come by before the trip to meet and learn all about our two medically complex cats. Then during the trip they gave daily updates and pictures, asked thoughtful questions that anticipated the needs of the cats, and made sure they were both happy and healthy. Very detail oriented and professional. They are our first choice for pet care in Seattle!
This is how awesome Xander’s walks were with Lindsey. She allowed him to get outside and sniff all dirt and flowers he wanted, spending 45 in the sun, and she was such a gentle soul that he didn’t feel any separation anxiety from me. And miracles upon miracles, he came back and crashed hard right after each adventure—which means he got all the stimulation out of their interaction that I could have hoped for. It was also very satisfying and unusual that she was able to start the same evening as I contacted her and came with the same consistency each day so that Xander felt safe going with her.
Wild Pack has been such a great resource to help with my brand new pup (only ten weeks) when I have to be away from him for work etc. He is always so happy when I return and not exploding with energy, which shows he got a lot of attention and exercise/play during his visits! Great communication and truly care about your animals being taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for pet care in Seattle!
Wild Pack has been an absolutely awesome walker and sitter for my dog. Their daycamp experience is a unique highlight - they take my pup on outdoor adventures including long walks along the water. He returns pooped with his tail wagging!
Wild Pack was wonderful with our two-year old Beagle, Lambo. We felt like he was very well taken care of and we received frequent pictures and updates while away. They took him on multiple walks every day and even bathed him so he was fresh and clean upon our return. He was energetic and in good spirits when we got home. Would definitely recommend Wild Pack to anyone needing reliable pet sitting!
Wild Pack is one of the most genuine, caring and compassionate pet service providers in the area. Clearly committed to their soul purpose the love shows in all Wild Pack provides for our fur babies.
I've only been there once, but so far I like them. This was my dog's first professional grooming at 3.5 years old. He was returned clean and happy. We were able to book a Saturday appointment only a few days prior. From booking through pick-up I was sent several updates by text. They are less expensive than the other groomers I checked out in the area. They offered to administer the Bordetella nasal spray vaccine for us since they require all vaccines to be updated and my dog was slightly overdue, which was very convenient. My dog's nails were very overgrown and the wick was probably far out (my fault, and why I was very hesitant to trim them myself). They are still long but I think they cut them as short as they could given the circumstances. 4/5 stars because my dog was a bit wet after, and his shedding wasn't reduced as much as I expected. He has short 1-1.5" fur, though to be fair he's half GSD with an undercoat and heavy year-round shedding. They said he was unhappy with the blow dryer, which I found to be a somewhat poor excuse given that some other groomers will use a "happy hoodie" and can get most dogs dry, especially given that my dog has a good temperament and short hair. I also didn't realize that things like pad shaving are not included in a "hair cut." It seems to me that it should be standard, though maybe that's normal and I'm just ignorant since this is my first time with a professional groomer. I'll admit I didn't investigate their services as much as I could have. The good thing is I now know that add-ons are clearly listed on their website and are not very expensive. Ultimately, I'll be returning.
Olivia did a fantastic job grooming our senior Sheltie. It is the best groom he has ever had! We also appreciate the Downtown Dog Lounge SLU senior center. The staff is courteous and accommodating. Thank you!
Misleading and overpriced - not an emotionally healthy place for puppies. Don't put your puppy into their "puppy daycare." Notice the website has no pictures of the puppy care set up. Website implies this puppy daycare provides socializing for puppies and "lays foundation for a well adjusted, confident dog" -- but I was shocked to discover upon bringing my young puppy to the daycare session that puppies actually are fully isolated in small glass boxes for the entire day, with nothing but a bed and a few toys, with sporadic interaction with staff (every 2 hour solo potty break). Zero interaction with other dogs. We withdrew our puppy immediately - this is a lonely and anxiety inducing situation for puppies. It doesn't provide that all important play time and real socializing for puppies that the website suggests. Even puppies with just a first set of shots can play together (hence puppy play groups) - there's no excuse for isolating puppies all day other than maybe ignorance or laziness (aka how to do the least amount of work for $65 a day). Please don't dump your puppy here for the day. There are better options such as Rover and others where pups actually DO get socialization and the foundation for becoming an adjusted and well tempered dog.
I love this place for my dog. Even though she gets anxious, I know that she's safe here. The staff are kind and caring and always take time to pet your dog! It's easy to book all reservations, too.
I took my Berner to Downtown Dog Lounge to get her groomed and couldn’t have been happier with the service! They did a wonderful job on her! Everyone there was super friendly, the facilities were very clean, and you can tell they really care about the dogs. We will definitely be a reoccurring grooming customer!
This place is not what it used to be, they mistreated my little Pomeranian Bella. I show up before my picking up time and found out they had her in a crate. The excuse was they had to many dogs. I didn’t pay $1,000 / month for her to be in a crate.
If I could give 10 stars, I would. The staff at Downtown Dog Lounge Ballard saved my dog's life. Max is an older dog and rescue with several underlying health conditions, but has been stable for several months. Earlier this year, the vet told us Max's heart condition would worsen, but he couldn't pinpoint when. My husband and I planned a much-needed long holiday weekend in Dallas with close friends. We dropped Max and our other pup off at DDL on Thursday. Saturday night I received a text message and video of Max. His tongue was blue and he was having a very hard time breathing. With my approval, they immediately took Max to the emergency vet where they intubated and gave him oxygen and sedation. After speaking with the emergency vet, it was clear that the attention paid to Max, and quick action of the Downtown Dog Lounge staff saved my dog's life. I cut my trip short and flew back first thing Sunday morning to rush to the hospital. After talking through everything with the vet, Max was discharged from the hospital with new medications that he is tolerating very well. I know we don't have much time left with Max, but as someone who loves her dogs dearly I don't want to not be there when something happens. However, the care, love, attention and excellent communication of the staff at DDL made all the difference. Thank you! I'm deeply grateful.
Our little boy had a wonderful 9 day boarding here! The staff was so friendly and he looked like he was having so much fun. Getting a bath for him at the end was the right plan for sure, he was so clean and adorable when he came home. He definitely misses his friends and we’ll be back soon!
DDL has all the things my puppy loves: other dogs, balls, and a ton of room to run around. If you don't drink it maybe isn't worth paying for (it's $12 for a play session) since it's essentially the same thing as a dog park. However, it does have an area for quieter dogs, a dog treat bakery, and they sell food and drink. You're responsible for your pup(s) while you're there just like at the dog park - no employee supervision or anything like that. I haven't had a chance to take Loki for day stay, but I think that will really be what takes it from a 3 star joint to a 5. It's kennel-less and they really focus on entertaining your dog all day long! I'll have to update once we do that!!
am very angry about this place! If you care about your dogs then don't pick this place because if anything happens the only thing their manager will do is to play the balme game and imply that you are faking the injury and try to get money from them. My pup's nails are bleeding after the daycare. I did not notice it up front when I picked him up from the dog lounge. But when I got back home, I found his nails not only bleeding but also looked like someone trimmed them deeply. It must have happened at their facility because I did not go anywhere else. My dog was in my car all the time. I've tried to contact them and all I want to know is what happened to my pup. What I got back is that they refuse to admit it happened at the dog lounge and imply it happened outside because there is no report saying my dog is injured from their staff. This is ridiculous as nobody is going to prove they are guilty of something. They told me all they can do is to offer a complementary bath and day care but who will go there again after all these.
Luna is a rescued dog, and since we adopted her, we’ve been constantly working to help her trust humans. We decided to enroll her in camps, starting with a half-day camp, then a full-day camp, and finally, boarding. At first, she was very shy, scared, and didn’t want to go. But now, she recognizes when we’re near Martha’s Garden, and as soon as we arrive, she’s eager to go inside and see her friends and instructors. We couldn’t be happier to bring Luna here, as they’re helping her become more and more social. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! They also send adorable photos and a sweet report card, and I always smile when I see them in the portal. We love it here. A big plus is that when she arrives home, she’s super tired!
This review is long overdue! I have been taking my dog to Martha's Garden for almost 2 years, and I cannot express enough how much my dog is OBSESSED with this place. My dog is anxious and withdrawn in most situations, but I took her in for a 1-hr assessment on the chance that this daycare could bring out her vibrant and playful side I see at home. They were very communicative about her behavior and comfort level in those first couple of weeks, which helped me feel confident about taking her out of her comfort zone. I knew I made the right decision when within only a few visits, she would RUN to the staff without looking back at me during drop off. Flash forward to the present and she thrives at this daycare. I can see such a difference when walking her in public, meeting other dogs or new people, that she has more confidence because of the socialization and enrichment she gets at Martha's Garden. Like everyone else mentions, they have a great routine of different activities every day and send you home with a cute report card so you get a little snapshot of their day. My only complaint is that always tries to go to Martha's on our walks now and I have to disappoint her every time! If you're someone considering if daycare is right for your small dog - obviously knowing that all dogs will have different needs and comfort levels - I think it is worth a shot to try this place out and it may become an essential part of your dog's life!
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Martha's Garden. The staff here are just lovely and you can tell they truly care about our dogs that we entrust to them. I love seeing the report cards at the end of the day (even when my little Fern has been a little naughty!! so embarrassing) and seeing who Fern picked as friends for the day. The live stream is also amazing - we watch it at my work together. I love that they have structure during the day too for designated playtime, learning time, and rest time. My dog Fern comes home happy and fulfilled, but not overstimulated and exhausted. She's such a well adjusted, joyful dog and Martha's Garden has very much been an essential part of this! Honestly, I don't even exist anymore at drop off, she's ready to go through that door. Thank you all, we love being part of the Martha's Garden crew.
Honey and I absolutely love Martha’s Garden! When I needed to find care for my pup, I ended up visiting quite a few facilities in the area. Martha’s Garden was, by far, the best daycare option for us. I knew Honey would receive the most attention and individualized care from Shannon and her team. I enjoy receiving her report card in the afternoon and reading about the enrichment activities and details of her day. They share photos as well so I can see how much Honey enjoys her time at day camp! It really is such a relief to know that she is in good hands with skilled handlers that know and love her.
There's no words for me to describe how much my dog Boo LOVES Martha's Garden! The staff takes such good care of Boo here, I can tell that he has so much fun every time he goes. Any time I even say the words "Martha's Garden!!", he gets incredibly happy and energetic. On top of this, Boo used to be very shy and distant with other dogs, but since he started going to Martha's, he's become so playful with doggies!! His socialization skills have improved so much. Additionally, I LOVE their report cards. They take lots of pictures of your dog. I always smile when I receive them🥹 I'm incredibly satisfied with the service I get from Martha's🥰 Boo and I have benefited from it so much!
We love Martha’s daycare because everyone that works there is so friendly, you can watch the dogs play on the livestream, and they send photos and a report card at the end of the day. But more importantly, Phoebe LOVES it. Every time we enter the building she gets amped to play with her daycare friends. When she gets picked up she sleeps hard the rest of the night. We can’t recommend Martha’s enough.
The highlight of my day is dropping off my pup at Martha's. He literally squeals with excitement as we approach Martha's Garden in the mornings, and it's such a joy to see how eager he is to spend time there. The staff is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. Whether I’m at work or on vacation, I have complete peace of mind knowing Oslo is in such capable and caring hands -- especially since they have a live feed where you can check in on your pup and daily report cards. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any small dog owner looking for a safe, detail-oriented, loving, and stimulating daycare. Thank you, Martha’s Garden, for being such a wonderful and reliable second home for Oslo and for bringing us so much joy and reassurance!
I've had Guy for just about 3 months now, and Martha's Garden has really helped him socialize with other dogs, and give me a few hours of hands off time a week. He comes back excited, tired, and better equipped for meeting other dogs. For real though, Guy is so excited about Martha's Garden, he's glued to the window the second we get off on Mercer Street, and I have to be extra cautious because I'm scared he'll run into traffic to get there sooner
We’ve been huge fans of Martha’s Garden since they opened in early 2021. Our dog, Murphy, has been attending day camp as a pup and even now at nearly 3 years old, he loves going. We used to live in the neighborhood and now that we’re further away, it’s very cute to see his ears pop and tail wag as we turn off the Mercer St exit to make our way to day camp. The owner truly loves and cares for all of the dogs and is very knowledgeable on dog behavior and care. We appreciate the detailed report card and cute photos throughout the day. We’ve made some lovely friends through this community- a nice added bonus! We’d highly recommend for small dog day camp and are excited they will be offering boarding services in the near future.
Despite that I live in the neighborhood and can see Martha's Garden from my living room window, I may have to start driving my pup there when she goes to daycare. Why? Because she is *so excited* to go to MG, that it's absolutely impossible to walk her on leash for half a block to get there. We do a lot of fun stuff together, but I'm pretty sure MG is her favorite place in the whole world. Not having to feel guilty when I put my pup in daycare or boarding is life-changing! I'm so glad we found a place where she gets mental enrichment and lots of love from humans as well as supervised playtime.
Best Choice I ever made !! I use the service dog walker/dog park my dog is over 45 lbs and getting bigger she is in love with Michael always very happy to go.. Gets a lot of exercise because she takes a really good nap when she gets home. She is only 6 months old great way to get her socialize her and also the service makes me feel a safe place my Kaya . Still going strong now my dog is 75 lbs .. when she see Michael she jumps up and down like a bronco she gets so excited also looks out the window now for him.
My dog Milly was just a puppy (6 months old) when she began her ventures with Jake & Friend's Pet Services. It’s been over 2 years now, Milly not only is happy, healthy, and ecstatic when she sees Mike, but she is socialized with other dogs and has confidence on her own. Mike is a wonderful human being. His connection with animals Is unlike anything I have witnessed before. Milly was SUPER WILD AND CRAZY when she was a puppy. I must admit that Mike had a helping hand in molding her into a cooler kind of crazy dog that she is today. I highly recommend Jake & Friends to anyone looking for pet care. Highly reliable and very good hard working people running this business. Prices are reasonable and I trust Mike with my crazy dog Milly. Not much he cannot handle. And I am grateful to know him.
Mike has such a way with dogs. My blue heeler is pretty anxious and he was so patient and attentive figuring out the best pack option for her (she ended up in the dog park pack) and helping her feel comfortable. Mike is an excellent communicator, especially compared to other daycares we've used where I felt totally in the dark about how my dog was doing.
My dog Teddy has been going to park days with Mike and his pack! Not only it’s been helpful for me to focus on my work during the day, Teddy can’t be happier coming back home. He’s all excited to jump on to Mike’s van and his social skills has been improved over time. For 9 months Teddy has been joining the pack, we didn’t have problems with the pack and the handlers (Mike always finds trustworthy handlers for his vacations). Following their social media kept me up to date with extra fun days my dog had.
I take my pup to Jake N Friends daycare at least twice a week and he absolutely loves it! I work 9-5 and dont have the ability to stay home with my dog so this service is great. My pup comes home tired, well played and happy. Mike (the owner) is the kindest person and will guarantee your dog has the best time. The location is also in a very family friendly/growing neighborhood. Support your local business and try out this daycare!
We have been using Mike at Jake N friends several times a week since our now six year old Australian Labradoodle was just a wee pup. She loves her time with Mike and the pack and always returns happy and tired at the end of the day!! Jake N Friends is awesome in every way. They take care of our little girl as if she was their own and you can't ask for better than that :)
My dog has been to countless dog daycares. She and I are both very picky. She’s a rat terrier with endless energy and either would hate the daycare and sit in the corner and come home miserable or just come home full of energy. Mike is a genius. Twyla absolutely LOVES him and the daycare. She has access to outside, he takes them to the park, and knows each dog so well and all their individual quirks. She comes home exhausted and so happy. So grateful for Mike and everything he does for the dogs in his care. Anyone would be lucky to be included in Mike and Jake’s family.
I went to Jake N Friends because I had a family emergency and Mike and Jake were so welcoming and Joaquin felt right at home! I love that they only handle small dogs, bc Joaquin is a Chihuahua mix and is not around large dogs very much. The prices where perfect and I got to use one of their Happy Hour vouchers they offer!!!! I highly recommend Jake N Friends to anyone who is in need of a dog day care or even just to send their pups to the park!
I absolutely love Jake N Friends and highly highly recommend. As a two career household we had our hands full when we adopted Hudson, a 3 year Lab/Husky mix, six months ago. Mike to the rescue. Now, each morning Hudson lets himself outside to wait patiently for Mike to come get him so that Hudson can spend time with the pack at various dog parks around Seattle. Lucky dog. And lucky us - Mike's a great guy.
Mike of Jake and Friends is the most incredible dog walker. Mike started walking our dog Roman when he was just a puppy. To this day, people ask us how we got Roman to be so well behaved and truly a big part of it is thanks to Jake and Friends. Mike helped socialize our pup and worked with us to train Roman, including breaking some bad habits he was developing. Mike also helped with Roman's separation anxiety. It is so great to see Roman (who wouldn't leave our side) run to Mike and jump in his car ready for an adventure! Mike is also just a really cool guy. He struck up a conversation with my brother who just relocated here and put him in touch with some job prospects. He is also incredibly respectful of our home, including bringing in packages that are waiting for us by the door. I could not more emphatically recommend Jake and Friends. In fact, I have several friends who have used Jake and Friends for dog walking and cat sitting.
recently tried out Kido Petcare for my energetic Labrador, Max, and overall, it was a great experience! I was drawn to their affordable rates and convenient scheduling, making it easy to fit dog walking into my busy life. Here’s a breakdown of my experience: Booking Process The booking process was seamless. I found their website user-friendly and easy to navigate. Filling out the questionnaire about Max’s needs was quick, and I appreciated that they asked about his temperament and any specific requirements. This attention to detail made me feel confident in their ability to cater to Max's personality. Pricing Kido Petcare offers fantastic pricing, starting at just $10 for a 30-minute walk. This is a great deal compared to other services in my area. They also have package options for regular walks, which is perfect for keeping Max active without breaking the bank. Walker Experience On the day of the walk, my assigned walker, Jeremy, arrived right on time and was instantly warm and friendly. She clearly had a passion for dogs, which made me feel reassured. After a quick introduction to Max, they set off for their adventure. Walk Quality The walk was just what I hoped for! Jamie took Max to a nearby park, where he could really stretch his legs. I loved receiving updates and photos via the app, which made my day. While Jamie kept the walk relaxed and focused, I noticed she did encourage Max to explore and sniff around, which he loves. Communication Kido Petcare excels in communication. They were prompt with updates, and any questions I had were answered quickly. I did reach out for clarification on their cancellation policy, and they were very helpful, which added to my overall positive experience. Overall Experience Kido Petcare delivered a solid, reliable service. While there wasn’t as much playtime as I might have liked, the quality of the walk was excellent, and Max seemed very happy afterward. Jamie’s professionalism and friendliness made a positive impression on both me and Max. Conclusion If you’re looking for an affordable and dependable dog walking service, I highly recommend Kido Petcare. They’re perfect for casual dog owners or anyone needing regular walks without a hefty price tag. I’m likely to use them again, and I’m excited to see how they might enhance Max’s walking experience in the future.
A truly wonderful place to send your pets when in need of a pet sitter. They are very professional and treat your pets like their own.
Very professional care and very good people. My pets loved them!
they were really nice and my dog is really happy to see the walker
was the cheapest walk around and they where really friendly
They are the best
Excellent service and communication. I've been using this place for a year now due to traveling a lot for work. My pup Frida loves it and enjoys her time to play with her buddies there. I feel my pup is safe and cared for here and that brings me a lot of comfort while I am away. I highly recommend Baba Lu's Playhouse.
Wonderful. We've been bringing our babies to baba lus doggy daycare for awhile now and it's been the best! Our guys love getting to spend time with their doggy friends and we know they are getting the best possible love and care. They've overnight boarded several times and always seemed to love getting their own little vacation as well. Honestly this place has been a godsend and we are so grateful to know our babies are well cared for while we are away. Thank you BabaLus!
My dog, Nuzzy, needed a daycare situation that wasn’t a traditional box/ kennel environment. We started off boarding and very much wanted to bring Nuz to Baba Lu’s Playhouse. Unfortunately, they are just too far away from my house to make it work on a weekly basis. We do still board and have been very pleased across the board. Nuzzy LOVES his playtime with the other boarders and he feels right at home with everyone. The initial meet and greet went really well. I felt like many of my concerns where addressed from the get go. I was really nervous since he was an adopted Airdale with very little history about him. Occasionally, he does get persnickety and they have just done a fabulous job dealing with his sometimes bent attitude. He gets a lot of exercise, love and socialization. In all honesty, spending the time at Baba Lu’s has almost eliminated his weird mood swings all together, which I cannot be more grateful for. The employees and the owner, Lori, are so great with him. I wish Baba Lu’s was closer to my home.
Our dog Kona has been going to Baba Lu’s for about 9 years for regular days and boarding. We were in Maui a few years back and the dog sitter at our house left the gate open and Kona delivered herself to Baba Lu’s 6 blocks away-luckily Lori was at the gate and saw her. She texted us right away to let us know and kept Kona until we returned. We are very fortunate to have had Kona given such great care all thee years.
Absolutely awful. Offers no scheduling flexibility. Straight up lied how our anxious dog did. Every visit we asked how she did and was told she did great. When we finally said we’re not coming back the owner said “oh your dog never seemed to like it here anyways”. Horrible and unacceptable.
Great place to board your doggo! So many sweet doggies to play and socialize with. The yard area is well kept and there are lots of toys for the pups.
Long time client. Very attentive and my babies are well cared for. They are always excited when we get to the place!
Love this place! Nothing much has changed over the years. New faces! New pooches! Same love and care for your fuzzy one!
Horrible experience for us.
Lori is the best
We've been taking our 4 year old dog Penny to Pupper's since moving to Cap Hill in July.. Penny is always very excited to see the staff when we drop her off and is pretty well tired out when we get home with her. Easy scheduling/payment through an app. Pupper's has been very reliable for us so far and we're happy to have a good daycare spot so close by.
My pup Mack has stayed here on all my trips for the last year! I love the nightly report cards to give me peace of mind when I'm away. They really care about Mack and he always comes back tired and happy. Every time we walk up for a trip he runs to the staff without a second glance. We'll be back for our next vacation!
Our baby beaux (6 yo) stayed here for a week during the holidays while my fiance and I went back to Texas to see family. Beaux had a fabulous time! I love that the staff sends daily updates to let us know how he’s doing during his stay. I especially was very pleased with how willing the staff was to work with us. We were supposed to pick up our pup on a Sunday, but we had a family emergency and Pupper’s play & stay was so accommodating and let us extend our visit! Seriously life savers. We will definitely be bringing our puppy back to stay here. The staff is all super sweet & makes sure that all the puppies have a good time. I can’t explain how grateful and pleased we are with puppers play and stay!
10 stars!! If I could give it 10, I would. My dog has been going there for about 3 years (began when it was Tails of the City). Tails was wonderful & I didn't think it could get any better, then Rob ( new ownership) took over. Wow! Rob's made so many upgrades & the place is absolutely wonderful. He & all the staff are amazing people & caring dog lovers. My dog began suffering from separation anxiety a year ago so I either have to take him with me or put him in daycare. I'm completely comfortable leaving him there - I KNOW he's safe, loved & cared for. ( & I appreciate receiving email updates & pics of him having fun with his friends).
Pupper's is simply the best daycare and boarding facility I have ever worked with in my three decades of being a dog parent. They are careful, attentive, flexible, accommodating, clean, responsible, professional, and kind, and my dog adores them. The fact that my dog PULLS me to Pupper's, every time I tell her we are about to walk there, says it all for me. She loves it there and regards the Pupper's caretakers as family -- which they are. This is a gem of a community business.
I was nervous when ownership changed hands b/c I was comfortable with "Tails" but I have been so excited and pleased with the updates and changes Rob has made. Puppers has brought the service level up, cleanliness is very much maintained, they send daily pic /updates now. So many great updates! I think Puppers, Rob and the entire staff are great. I trust them with my Goose at least twice a week and when i have to go on work trips.
Pupper’s is such a great place to bring your dog. My girl is always so excited to go play with her friends. Rob and the staff do a great job taking care of my dog and always update me with how she’s doing. Additionally the weekend availability is such a lifesaver with the weird hours I work. I also love the improvements Rob’s implemented since buying the business. I wouldn’t want to take my dog anywhere else.
I love pupper's play & stay and am also so happy with the new ownership and changes to the facility! The staff is so helpful and I drop off my dog knowing he is in great hands. One of my favorite things about pupper's is the mid day photos they send to me to share how my dog was during the day. I've been coming here for over a year now, but will definitely continue bringing my baby boy!
My dog Sid has been going here for a couple years now. He goes to turn into the building whenever we walk by and is excited when we run into employees in the area. So while he doesn’t talk about it, he seems to like the place. With the recent new ownership and upgrades, the place smells good and I like that there now are different spaces for different temperaments. It’s also great to see the employee pics and the gallery.
Our high energy (understatement of the year) Barbet puppy has been a frequent flyer at Puppers play and stay and its previous incarnation as Tails of the City. The new ownership has brought a whole program of positive changes to the daycare and boarding program, while retaining all of the aspects we love most. 1) the staff know our dog and we know they are actively working to enforce good behavior and decrease problem behaviors. 2) adding daycare to our routine gives our dog an outlet for his energy and social needs during our busy work week. He is much more enjoyable to be at home when he’s had daycare. 3) we always have a backup plan where we can have care lined up for the dog — the boarding program is very flexible and our dog comes back happy and well behaved. 4) very easy drop up and pick up. One last thing—- we’ve been very pleased with the cleanliness of the facility under the new ownership. No more smelly dog fur coming home from daycare!!!! Big win. Helen
Little Dog Garden is the best day care around! I recommend it to all of my friends. They take such good care of my dog and she absolutely loves it there. She knows the route and starts pulling on the leash as soon as we get close. They have fun enrichment activities, too. I am a very anxious dog owner but I never worry when my dog is at Little Dog Garden. I can't recommend it enough! Everyone who works there is super friendly, too! The best part of my day is talking to the people who work there when I pick up and drop off my dog.
The team at Little Dog Garden is wonderful and they take great care of my little dog who is generally a bit shy. She gets so excited to see everyone and comes home happy and tired. Making a reservation is easy to with their online system and I have always have a great experience for daycare or boarding overnight. Can't recommend Little Dog Garden enough for small dogs!!
Highly recommend! We have been bringing our two Frenchies here for 1+ years and love it. The staff know our dogs and their little quirks and the pups always come home worn out and happy.
Little Dog Garden has been such a blessing for us and especially for our little dog Toast! The staff always recognize him and are always pleasant when we come in. I've never seen my guy waltz so confidently into a daycare like he does here, which gives me the comfort knowing he is pumped to join his pack of friends when he arrives. They are doing such a good job in such a dense part of the city! We are grateful for their efforts to make each dog at home!
I don't know what we would do without Little Dog Garden. Our rambunctious dog Luna needs several hours of exercise or play time a day which is not always easy to provide while working from home. She's always so excited to get to daycare and see all of her puppy friends. We appreciate that they do a behavioral test with all dogs before the join the "pack". The staff is excellent. They are professional and punctual and will treat your dog like their own.
I have a very shy dog that just started going to Little Dog Garden. He's very afraid of big dogs and missed out on socialization when he was younger. But Little Dog Garden is willing to work with him even though he's nervous. I'm so happy that a daycare welcomes my shy Chihuahua! The staff are friendly and LGBT+ friendly. Finally, I really love the location. Not only is the facility clean, but it's in a convenient location with lots of nearby food and coffee.
My dog is the love of my life and I only ever do the best things for him. My 5 year old cockapoo has never been to daycare because I have always worked from home. As a result he is super attached to me. Even at the dog park. We decided to send him to daycare for a half day once a week to see if he’s be more sociable when away from me. For the first month at Little Dog Garden he didn’t want me to leave. But now(about 3 months in) he is whining to get into the gate and see all of human and doggo friends. And he is so tired when he gets home! That’s how I know he had a good day. I feel like I have a million questions about how his day went and the staff is always super attentive and answers every question. The way they answer sounds like they’re paying great, loving attention to the doggos in their care. I think Little Dog Garden is wonderful. If they can make my picky pup feel safe and happy, they’re a good choice.
My dog Biff was very shy when starting daycare at Little Dog Garden, but over the course of going every week he now happily races in to play with all of his dog friends. I am so pleased to have a reliable, safe, and clean place to take my dog where I know he will have fun and be treated well. Thanks, Little Dog Garden!
My rambunctious, playful, energetic pup Oatie loves spending time at Little Dog Garden. He usually is timid with stairs but as soon as we enter, he bursts through the gate and runs down those stairs to play with his friends and the staff. He struggles with separation anxiety/being alone and daycare has been such a great option for him (and me). Oatie always comes home pooped and weirdly smelling good. They have an easy system to schedule daycare and they post videos on their instagram story which are fun to watch while I'm at work. l would 100% recommend!
Our dog loves going here! He drags me through the courtyard everyday in his eagerness to get there. The staff has figured out he's a ball chaser! We are very happy with how the staff treats the dogs and they are always gracious to us.
This was our first experience boarding at club dogfish. Our two dogs, Shelby and Ellie, stayed 8 nights. I feel like the staff cares about the pups, but they seemed so overwhelmed and unsure when asked questions. Even at pick up, the front desk said they had 70 dogs…. I have no clue how they staff and fit that many dogs in such a small space. We asked for a bath the day of pickup, they did not feel or smell like they got one so thankfully they issued a refund. We are missing a blanket and toys from “Santa,” but we are not confident enough in the staffing to call and try to find them. They reached out 2/8 days they were there, otherwise I would need to check in. We sent our dogs with their food with one extra serving… and it looks like they ate about half of what they were supposed to (see attached photo). We were not made aware of this. My lab also eats more than she should, so it’s concerning. The positive is they did take the girls on a walk and sent us pictures one day. They also let Ellie pick the first toy from Santa since it was her birthday, which was very thoughtful. I’m not concerned about the quality of care of the staff, but they seem very overwhelmed and short staffed. The dogs were way too crowded. Maybe day care is okay, but I wouldn’t recommend boarding.
We love Club Dogfish, most importantly our two dogs love it!! Our dogs love the people who care for them. We work from home, our dogs go to the park everyday and for walks, do puzzles, but they still needed more interaction away from us. The pricing is very affordable allowing us to take them several days a week and it has provided them the extra boost in their social circle and mood. Our shy dog loves and trusts more people as a result and we would never hesitate to leave them with such loving staff who do not kennel our babies. They even give them the extra bath and blow for the busy times when I cannot get it done. We highly recommend Club Dogfish.
Berkeley absolutely loves “da club”, he’s so excited when we pull up in the morning, excited to see us at the end of the day and completely exhausted after a day of activity and play. All the staff are very friendly, know the dogs and their humans and are flexible based on the needs of each pup! Highly recommend Club Dogfish if you need a place for your pup to play for the day!!
My pup Denver has been going to Club Dogfish for months now, and he is still just as excited to hang with his pack every time we arrive. Every member of the team is welcoming and you can tell they care about the dogs. Highly recommend!
We board our dog Lola at Club Dogfish every time we travel by plane. She is a shy and nervous dog, but the staff are very kind and understanding, and their care and confidence helps her settle right in every time. We highly recommend Club Dogfish for daycare and boarding!
I cannot recommend Club Dogfish enough! They took excellent care of my boxer while I was away for a week. All of the staff loved her like she was their own and showered her with affection. The owner, Josh, sent photos and updates every day/other day. It was evident in the photos she was having a blast the entire time. All of the staff members were incredibly kind, enthusiastic, and seemed to genuinely care about the dogs. They were responsive and accommodating - I was able to get a reservation with about 48 hours notice. Club Dogfish will be the only place we take our dogs to as long as we live in Seattle now. Thank you again, Club Dogfish staff!!
Wow! I am so happy I chose to board my pup with Club Dogfish. From the beginning the staff was accommodating, kind, and enjoyable to interact with. I appreciated the flexibility and communication of booking. They made the process super simple and were willing to provide the care I asked for with my dog. It seemed that my pup enjoyed his time with the other dogs and he was well taken care of. I definitely recommend using their services! I've had only great interactions with Josh and Tristen and plan to come back :)
We've tried a number of boarding places across the city and have tried a few rover sitters, but always had issues with other places. Club dogfish has been consistently good and they always take good care of our pup. He always comes back to us happy and well taken care of, and every single time we learn something new from the staff! We can't thank them enough for taking such a good care of our dog while we go on long trips.
I can’t say enough good things about Club Dogfish. The staff here is so kind, warm, and very understanding of my anxious rescue dog’s needs. Josh and his team have gone above and beyond for my dog. I never feel worried or stressed when she is in their care or if I have to board her there for long stretches. The staff is incredibly responsive and helpful when I need to book stays. I’ve tried four other facilities in Seattle besides this one, and can say unequivocally that Club Dogfish is the best! The big smile on my pup’s face in the pics they send says it all!
Club Dogfish is Loki's favorite place on earth! Josh (the owner) is excellent and friendly. Loki loves him and gets so excited to see him (see picture of Josh holding Loki -- not anyone can hold the little Shiba!). Loki also loves Club Dogfish so much that he nearly drags us there when we are walking through Belltown! Overall, it's a great doggy daycare and boarding. The staff and facilities are wonderful. Dogs can get their own room (not stuck in a kennel cage). There is also a pool (unfortunately Loki hates water). Loki gets to play with all sorts of friendly neighborhood dogs! We also love that Loki gets taken out on walks during daycare. Loki stayed at Club Dogfish when we were out of town and did fantastic. We highly recommend Club Dogfish!
Great place to take your fur baby when you’re at work for the day or going on vacation and can’t bring them with you, this way you know they’re never alone and they get to play & make new friends. If your dog is boarding with them the employees will send you daily pupdates via email with pictures to let you know how they are doing and if there’s any complications. Everyone here is very friendly and can tell they really care about the animals and their well being.
While no other place would consider taking our reactive dog for boarding, the AMAZING staff at LDCD were extremely empathetic and sensitive and offered to have Austin over again and again to make him feel more comfortable and safe. They spent so much time with us and were so patient and reassuring. Thank you Jay, Jenny, Reese, Kylie and everyone in staff for truly loving dogs and accepting and supporting our anxious dog. You have helped him open up to people and calm down. Throughout the 3 weeks Austin spent at LDCD, the staff kept us updated many many many times. I appreciate all your hard work and kindness towards dogs and humans as well 🙏
Boarding overnight / day care: Dog injured. Nose and paw injured. He came in happy and left in pain. We will have to take him to the vet to do a full check up. After taking him home, he was not himself. He was hiding and still is as I am writing this. His nose is swollen and bleeding. Absolutely No communication about this at all. Might be the reason why they did not send me pictures or videos when requested. A lot of excuses for not sending any pictures to me, which seems like a cover up of the injury. I emailed and asked for pictures and videos after I dropped my dogs off. A hour later I called about pictures. 3 hours after that I called again and after a long while finally got one picture of one of my dogs. Then after almost a life time I got a picture of my other dog. But still no videos. I called again today for pictures, nothing was sent to me. All I got was a bunch of excuses regarding the injury (I understand dogs play rough, but the injury looks so serious), and not being able to send me pictures. I got a text after I got home about a refund for the baths for both of my dogs because my dogs smelled like pee and had stains and dirt all over them after their baths. Will never recommend this place. I question the cleanliness of this place, and everything else. I was told if anything happened they will give me a call. I guess not. Judging by the pee smell and stains after taking a bath, clearly the place is very dirty and doesn’t get cleaned up, my dog could have an infection. And to say my dog was snappy during bath time is just infuriating because my dog loves bath time. Still waiting on the videos and pictures I asked for… hopefully my dog is ok. And hopefully this provides an insight as to how this place runs. I hope no dogs have to experience what my dog had to experience coming here.
We were super nervous about doggy daycare because of how wild and high-energy our puppy is, but the folks at LDCD have always been so good with her, and patient even though she is jumpy and comes in the door screaming with excitement every time. They play with her and love on her all day long, and she comes home content and exhausted. It's great to know she's well taken care of when we have to board her as well, and being able to take advantage of their newer expanded hours and ability to do late pickup has been a lifesaver. Thank you all for being so good to our girl <3 She loves y'all so much!!
My little Velcro muffin cake trots right into Lazy Dog. She loves it and they know her by name when she comes in the door and let her know which of her pals are there. The team is first rate and I am grateful to have found LDCD!
Great staff and our dog loves it there. My only improvement suggestion would be on speeding up drop off and pick up. If there's a line, the wait can be 10-15 minutes, because each dog takes several minutes.
I can't say enough good things about Lazy Dog Crazy Dog! From the moment I contacted them, the staff was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of every dog that stays there. They kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my dog's stay, which was such a relief. I felt like they treated my dog like one of their own. Most importantly, my dog looked like he was having a good time and made friends (a rare moment for him). If you're looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog is absolutely the best choice!
I board my dog several times a year and I always trust Lazy Dog Crazy Dog - Ballard with her care. All the employees are so friendly and kind, and most important, our dog loves them. She can't wait to see her friends and get inside to play when we drop her off each time. Thank you, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog!
We love lazy dog! Our ball obsessed Sheepadoodle has the best time when she gets to spend the day with the other dogs and humans there. We have been taking here there since she was just a pup 4 years ago. We also use the boarding option whenever we have to leave her behind. We know she is well cared for and having lots of fun.
I am a first time dog owner and I was very apprehensive about bringing in my dog to a boarding facility. My dog is a rescue and very nervous around new people and new environments. Much to my delight, she has THRIVED at LDCD and has so much fun. It has even boosted her confidence. Since I adopted her as an adult dog and she was never kennel trained, I believe the no kennel approach made a big difference in her adjustment. I thought I would feel bad leaving her at a boarding facility but I know how much she loves it!
