Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I've been using devonshire pet lodge for grooming my two shihtzus for over 3 years now. The ladies are super nice and the groomer always asks me if I want the same cuts as usual or if they are changing things up. My dogs come home looking wonderful!!
They did a fantastic job on a difficult to groom dog. He looks great!
My pet 🐕 is a red and white husky and this place got him in when I needed him groomed. And aside from some tuffs on his under side he came out looking amazing and smelling good! …
These people absolutely butchered my mom's elderly shepherd by forcing her stand for hours (even though it was explained that she is old and has bad hips) and trimming her hair so close to the skin she was covered with razor burn, something this poor dog who is regularly groomed elsewhere has never experienced. She was in so much UNNECESSARY pain from this torture session that my mom took her to the vet, where she was almost put down-because of a grooming service! These people have no business being in business, and from reading some of the other reviews it sounds like they are also neglectful, cruel boarders. The only reason you should take your pets here is if you hate them and want to pay someone to abuse them.
I referred you folks to my best friend. She explained how fragile her 14 year.old is to you folks. You had her.on her feet.for over 3 hrs! Now she can't walk. You trimmed her tail without permission. You shaved her so close to her skin she has razor burns. You didn't even call them to share, " maybe you should have called them and said, " she seems too fragile " YES she is. But you didn't even show care or concern for her. Now they are looking at " end of life" decision. Shame on you folks... I thought you had a kinder heart!
First let me start by saying I hate leaving bad reviews but in this case, I feel people need to know what happened to my chihuahua, Rose. My boyfriend and were glad to find a kennel that could take her as we had and emergency to go take care of. When we dropped rose of at Devonshire the staff was helpful and seemed to care. This made us feel comfortable boarding Rose there. However, when we picked her up, we knew we made a big mistake. We asked how Rose did and the only thing we were told when we came in the door was, she did great. First rose was terrified of the guy that brought her out to us and rose isn’t afraid of anyone. The dog hates getting in the car, but she flew out of my arms into the car she was shaking so bad. We have left her with other people before and she did not act like this when we picked her up. Second, they just threw her in a cage and didn’t pay any attention to rose. We sent blankets, toys and her bone with her but when we picked Rose up, they didn’t even know which blankets were hers and when they finally found her stuff it was packed just like we left it. Third Rose lost weight she looked sick and frail. She was starving she dove into her food and ate faster than I have ever seen her eat. She was also extremely thirsty. Rose couldn’t stop drinking water. Finally, she had diarrhea for a week, and I mean very runny diarrhea. We only left her there for 3 nights. Rose shouldn’t have been in such bad shape. We feel like she would have died if we left her for a week or more. We will never and I mean never use Devonshire pet lodge again. Rose did not do great instead she was neglected big time.
We have trusted Devonshire with our "jerks"(2 mini dachshunds) for quite some time, and I have nothing but good things to say about their services. One gets his nails trimmed, and one most recently was there for 3 nights while we were in Seattle. They are kind, clean, and friendly staff, and have no problem recommending their services.
First time I hav been there...I jist took my dog in for nails. The lady at the counter and the groomer were both sweet and the groomer got the first set of nails dun bf my dog even noticed she was clipping her nails. Of course my dog started yelping...she asked for my dog's name. Honey was pretty much dun in a coupla minutes. The groomer was kind and displayed professionalism. I was appreciative of her skills. Perfect nails job. Im taking my other dog in soon for the works. I was surprised at the clinic. Very clean and impressive looking clinic and kennel. There were 5-6 other dogs in kennels. I cant wait to take my dog in for a fur clip. Im impressed!
This was a while ago so it might not be up to date but I feel like the experience I had is important to share so others can make their own judgment. I had picked up a friend's dog from here because there flight was delayed. I went in to main area and I just got hit with the strongest smell of urine and feces. I couldn't see what the living situation was for the dogs but they had a cat that was a lobby cat that was covered in scabs. Those might have been from anything but the cat was not nice and seemed to be in quite a bit of pain from the way their behavior was. My friends dogs behavior was uncharacteristic as well. I hope the service has improved since I had my experience.
Ever since I have not been able to groom my own dog I have been looking for someone I was happy with with no luck until I ended up trying Devenshire‘s pet grooming. I am very very happy with the quality of work and the kindness of the owners and the groomer.I think I will stick with them ,they made me very happy with the way the groomer groomed my dog, and The kindness they showed my sweet girl. Thank you very much Devenshire pet grooming .
Our dogs have always been hesitant to be dropped off at daycare/boarding, so in seeing their excitement to get dropped off at Kipo's after their first stay we knew this place was different! Tiffany maintains great communication throughout their stay with daily pictures and has always been flexible to accommodate our schedule. Couldn't recommend this place more!
The best doggy daycare around. My pup Oliver has been going weekly while I work for the last 8 months and absolutely loves it. Tiffany treats him like family. There is great space to run around and play all day long. I also love that I can get updates throughout the day and when I board him overnight!
My girls absolutely LOVE going to Kipo’s! There are always friends to play with, and Tiffany takes great care of everyone while they’re there. We use Kipo’s for both daycare and overnight boarding, and highly recommend it!
I am so glad I found this place! Tiffany and the crew have made this a perfect home for our dogs whenever we have to work or go on vacation. The dog look forward to going and are at home when there. She sends us updates and pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend this doggie daycare to anyone. Picture is of my boy, Crowley after a long play in the yard with his friends. He loves the couch.
Josie loves to go to Kipo's Place! Tiffany and family welcome the animals into their home. I get pictures from Josie's day and she gets such good socialization there.
Tiffany is great! Sparkles loves going to play with Kipo. She just goes bonkers when we get close. Tiffany takes Sparkles at a moments notice. She is very accommodating to our last minute needs.
My pup goes for daycare and absolutely loves it! He gets to play and make so many friends! A plus for me is he is super tired when it’s time to go home! Thank you Kipo’s Place
Attentive, loving, creative, & really cares about your pup! My dog is ecstatic to be dropped off at Kipo's.
Kipos Place is amazing I took my Hisky mix chloe for an overnight stay and ahe got groomed and came back so soft and smelt amazing. Thank you so much 😍 She cant wait to come back and play …
Very loving and caring home for dogs. Took excellent care of our baby!!!
We left for a week out of state and needed help with short notice. Maria's schedule was pretty full, but she was able to help us out. She strives to help if she can. We have dogs, cats, fish and birds that were cared for the entire time we were gone. We received a consultation where we walked through all the specifics prior to leaving. We met our sitters in advance. They interacted with the pets for a while before we left, so we could introduce everyone. We do have some pets with anxiety, so this was important to us. We had our first vacation with real peace of mind because of Happy at Home Pet Sitting and their outstanding services. We spent years finding the right way to be able to leave town, not worry and have our pets routines uninterrupted as much as possible. This will be our long term first choice whenever we leave for vacations, or on business. The prices are more than fair. Our pets were unfazed by our leaving because they had the necessary support while we were gone. We would recommend Maria and Happy at Home Pet Sitting for anyone that would like peace of mind, quality care for your pets at an affordable price. Short or long stay, use Maria & her team for your pets while you're away!
Maria has been absolutely wonderful with our cats and our dog Arrow! We feel so lucky to have found her, its comforting knowing our pets are safe and happy when she is there. Maria has done feedings and medications with playtime for us a few times and visits always come with an update and cute pictures!
I recently used Happy at Home Pet Sitting Service to care for my 10 year-old cat, Zoey. Zoey is not terribly used to being left alone (thanks, Covid!), so, I was somewhat apprehensive about leaving her without me for 10 days while on a trip. Maria stopped by before my trip and got to know Zoey and me, and provided assurances that my furry friend would be very well cared for. Maria explained everything about her services, provided references and brochures, and said that in my case, her company had a local sitter who would care for Zoey while I was away (the local person also stopped by before my trip to meet Zoey and me). While I was on the trip, I received a daily text update and periodic photos of Zoey. Maria had her staff follow all of my instructions and I could tell that Zoey had been well cared for while I was gone. Maria's prices are very reasonable and the fact that she has been in business for so long says a lot about the integrity of her service. She obviously takes pet sitting very seriously and provided the highest level of care for my Zoey. I could not be more satisfied. When I called my local vet to inform them that Maria and her team would be watching Zoey (in case a medical emergency), the vet said they are familiar with Maria's service and spoke highly of her. I think Maria has a lot of clients and is busy...but she made time for me and I will be using her service when I travel again in the near future. David, Ocean Shores.
Love love love! First impression...I contacted Maria and she quickly responded. This has continued throughout our relationship with her. When it comes to our furbabies, we know how important timely replies are! After that, she met us to go over our expected services and meet our sitter. After the service... We found nice notes journaling our dog's disposition and activities when the sitter visited. I 100% completely trust and recommend this company! Maria has been wonderful about following up to be sure we were happy afterward. I really can't say enough good about them. One last thing...icing on the cake...reasonably priced! Just an update... We have used Happy at Home 3 times now. Our oldest dog, Abe, used to get very stressed when we got the suitcases out. Now that he knows Happy at Home ladies will be coming by, he could care less if we leave!
I tried contacting these people multiple time, but each time it just rang and rang till I hit the answering machine. I left a voicemail and got no returning call. Basically what's the point of having a business if you can't even answer a phone.... thanks to these people I wasn't able to find a place for my dog when a emergency popped up and I had to put my dog in the pound. Please take down your website if you don't answer. Or at least put business hours down. A very poorly ran business
Maria and her team are excellent. Highly recommend!
They take great care of our dogs and kitty, and the daily dog club visit is awesome, and well worth peace of mind! Happy dogs!☺
Lovely people who look after our wee hairy beasties very well.
Fantadtic service! They do a great job with our furbabies
Maria and crew go above and beyond!
Jessica has been so wonderful! Very thoughtful about everything and our puppy has a great time.
This place is so great and the owners are always enthusiastic when our dog is arriving and leading up to his stay. We’ve been boarding him here since 2019 and have never once had a negative experience. And the baths and nail trims are so good, he always comes back looking way better than at drop off. These people are so trustworthy. Sometimes my husband and I joke that we should just take him there for a break from our toddler.
My dog spent a week here and had a great time! The kennel owners sent us regular updates about her antics, which were comforting to receive. They clearly love dogs, and are so competent and trustworthy. Prices were very reasonable too. Update: My dog really enjoyed her second stay at Freedom Acres' new location! She clearly had a blast! They took such great care of her!
My wife and I can't say enough about Jessica's care of our dogs. We have used Jessica for years now. Her combination of being a medic in the Armed Forces and being a veterinary assistant for many years make her an unflappable caregiver for your dog. As a veterinarian myself, it is wonderful to have someone watching our dogs who understands veterinary issues and is willing to take on a challenge. On our last visit, we had both our old yellow lab who was starting to fail, and our young lab who was recovering from an awful injury and still needed her wound dressings changed. I don't think any other facility would have taken our dogs, and I don't think we would have trusted anyone else to take care of them besides Jessica. She was stellar. As usual. Besides being incredibly capable,, she loves the dogs. And they love her. Our dogs have always excited when we arrive there and they see Jessica. I could go on but I better stop! We feel so lucky to have her for our pets.
We highly recommend Freedom Acres! Jessica is professional, kind and trustworthy. I am calling her a "dog whisperer" as she very quickly assesses and understand dogs personalities and cares for them accordingly. We entrusted her during our oversea trip with our Bichon frise, our Border Collie and our Chi mix. We could not be happier as were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Fur kids were well cared for in beautiful environment!
We highly recommend Jessica and Freedom Acres! We brought our girls in for a meet and greet two years ago. Jessica could tell their needs immediately and even helped us understand our reactive girl more. Every time we took our girls in we saw improvements in both of them. We've been boarding with Freedom Acres since. Before Jessica, we were not comfortable boarding the more reactive of our two. Now we can. Jessica is responsive. The girls always come back looking happy and healthy. Bottom line: will continue to utilize services and would highly recommend to others.
Jessica took care of my 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is a very kind person and will do anything at your request without extra charges. The facility is small so it is so much less stressful then your ordinary boarding facility. However, the kennels the dogs are housed in are very spacious and are indoor/outdoor so my dogs can choose where they want to be. Jessica really takes the time to give each dog whatever they need which includes play time in a large field! She also will give medications if needed. Her property is beautiful and I can't imagine what dog wouldn't want to be there. She definitely has the knowledge and background with animals which is a bonus! I would recommend this facility without hesitation!
Great place to board your dog. Jessica takes great care of the dogs, and gives them all individualized care. My dog is very shy around other dogs, and Jessica not only welcomed her in, she took my dog for personal walks around the numerous (and gorgeous) trails, instead of romping with the other dogs in the doggie play area. The next time my dog boarded, there was another dog that Jessica said she'd carefully try them together. Jessica introduced them slowly (the two dogs had a kennel fence between them for several hours), and with Jessica's gentleness and patience, by the end of the stay the two dogs were playing together. My dog has NEVER not run away from other dogs, and to see her play with another dog was wonderful! It's also really nice to know that Jessica has worked as a veterinary assistant, so she's adept at giving medications. The kennel is small, so not only do the dogs get individualized attention, but you also don't need ear protectors whenever you walk into the kennel. AND the price is very reasonable -- much less pricey than many kennels in the Olympia area. I'm so glad Freedom Acres opened!
We've boarded our pup here a few times and absolutely love this facility! The owners are friendly and kind. They send me photos of my dog so I know how happy he is, he comes home exhausted from playing with the other dogs and running around so much. Completely trust them with the love of my life and am so grateful to have found such a wonderful facility.
Long overdue post, Coming from a background in the veterinary field I am VERY picky about my pets and their care, I am a helicopter pet mom and and treat my pets like my children. I have boarded my dogs at 3 other kennels before finding her location and I never worry when I go out of town anymore with my babies here! Honestly my dog Groot gets excited when he stays here. She is amazing at sending text updates but after the first time of Groot staying here I don't even need to update because I know he is just fine! Also her kennel set ups are awesome! She has them indoor/outdoor super comfortable for your pets !
I moved from out of state and was really hoping to find a great place to bring my dog for boarding and daycare that he would fit into. He LOVES it at Carolyn’s. With a not super social but really high energy dog, Carolyn’s is the perfect place for him and I always trust he will be taken care of and come home calm and tired. What you get for the price is definitely worth it. They have plenty of staff and care for all the pups and make sure they all are grouped together so they get along. Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care. They post updates during the day which is a cute way to check in on your pup. Everything from our first meet and greet day to extended boarding, I know my dog will be taken care of and enjoy his time. Highly recommend this place.
We found Carolyn’s K9 Retreat earlier this summer when looking for a doggy daycare and boarding for our sweet six month old Aussiedoodle, Gus. They were very responsive to set up a plan to help Gus get accommodated so we could board him for our vacation in a month. All the staff members are so kind and loving to all the pups! Our Gus had some separation anxiety issues during his first doggy daycare stays and his first overnight stay. The staff was very patience with Gus and able to help him calm down and become habituated to the new environment! Gus was able to have a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s while we were able to enjoy a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. I would totally recommend Carolyn’s K9 Retreat for doggy daycare and boarding, especially for dogs who are not fully kennel trained!
BEST DOGGY DAYCARE IN TOWN! The space is great and the staff is super friendly. My pup gets very excited every time we drop him off, and fulfilled and exhausted by the time we get home. This truly is an outstanding place for your dog(s) to socialize and get their needed exercise.
This is like Disneyland for dogs! My dog loves this place and feels right at home here! She gets super excited when we arrive. The staff are phenomenal and very attentive. My dog is a smaller dog too and gets shy but the staff has helped her feel comfortable and welcome. She has made great doggy friends and loves staying here for the day or overnight. Your pet is in good hands when going to the Carolyn’s K9 retreat!
Carolyn’s is our pup, Dory’s favorite place!!! She gets to play all day with her friends and everyone is incredible with the dogs!! Such a clean environment as well. Their spaw treatments always leave her smelling and looking her best! We cannot recommend them enough. We are so appreciative of Carolyn’s K9 Retreat!! 🩷 …
I LOVE this place. My pup is 1 month into classes & he LOVES it! I can hardly home him back when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's tuckered out from playing & learning. Bringing him here has helped my pup in solicitation & gives him lots of time to play with other dogs. Best part is seeing the daily pics posted on FB throughout the day while my pup is there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We are so happy we’ve chosen Carolyn’s K9 Retreat as our local daycare/boarding spot. We appreciate that they require a meet & greet and a full day of daycare prior to boarding to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. We also love that they’re a no-kennel facility so our boy can lounge on a couch as he would at home. We trust their staff & know Wally is in caring, capable hands when he’s under their care!
My dog isn’t the easiest- Lola jumps all the fences, has separation anxiety and is on medication. I’ve never been able to leave her anywhere! Until Carolyn and her team!!!! Carolyn and her husband own this amazing sanctuary for our dogs! All of the employees are exceptionally caring and attentive. I now feel so comforted that we have found a place to care for our baby!!! They keep me updated as to how she is doing when I am out of town and my heart is happy knowing she is happy there.
Carolyn’s K9 Retreat is doggy Disneyland for our dog! He gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot and doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up! They send pictures and texts and treat him like family! I cannot recommend this place more! Simply one of a kind and THE BEST! Gunner will be going here forever! All their staff treat him like their own. Love this place!!
Be sure you leave your pup(s) smiling instead of sticking their tongue out at you! Reach out to Carolyn’s K9 retreat for all the daycare, grooming, and boarding needs of your dog. We sure are glad we have!
Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma inhaler which was so comforting to me! I will always use Oh My Dog Sitters for my pet's care in my absence.
Amy and her team are *great* and the Client Portal system is a huge time-saver. All of the sitters are great and the daily visit check-in, with an activity report and photos, is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Oh My Dog to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on them every visit. Each visit they contacted me to say they were there, sent pics and then gave details of their visit. They let me know when they left and how the dogs went potty and what treats or food they gave them. Highly recommend Oh My Dog (sitters) I look forward to having them in the future
Can't gush over Amy and her crew enough. The care they take and attention to safety detail is top notch. And our dogs go bonkers when they see Amy or Brenda out and about, so I know they are given the best times on their walks and visits! We hope to recommend Oh My Sitters to many more doggie parent friends -- we wish we'd found them sooner.
With Amy and crew I know our kitty is well cared for while we are gone! I love the daily reports letting us know how things are going. They even take the time to ensure our hummingbird feeders are full. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!
Amy and her team are the best pet sitters we have ever worked with. We never have to worry about our pups while out of town, and get photos and written updates with each visit through the app they use (also super convenient.) They are understanding and accommodating of our two rescue dog's needs and quirks, and truly go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy while we are gone. I cannot recommend Oh My Dog enough!
We always use OMD to care for our precious pets while away. The team is very professional, caring, and attentive to details. I recommend them highly for both cats and dogs. We always get fabulous notes and photos while we’re away which gives us peace of mind on our trip, and our pets are very well taken care of, including meds as needed and special notes.
Amy has watched our cats twice now and she is awesome! She sends daily updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond for our pets and house and it really helps remove any anxiety we have with leaving our pets at home while we are gone.
Amy from Oh My Dog! (Sitters) made friends with our shy cat in record time. She is personable, professional, and an experienced pet-sitter. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with someone checking in when we can't be there. Highly recommend -- your pets will be in good hands!
Oh My Dog! took excellent care of my diabetic cat which was such a great relief. Their attention to detail and daily pet updates were awesome. I highly recommend Oh My Dog! and will definitely use their services again.
We have used barking around the clock for doggy daycare and had a very good experience. We have power breed dogs and this location and the staff here are great with recognizing all different types of dog needs and making sure that dogs work together, stay safe and have an enjoyable day. We've also used their services for in-home pet care. Overnight stays included. We have used them for dog walks and random cat feedings when necessary for our pets as well for trips away from home. They are trustworthy, dependable and communicate amazingly with you about your pets while you're away from your fur babies. They even went out of their way to help care for one of my sick pets when I had an emergency. Not everyone would do that for you. The caring that you get from the staff here is beyond compare. They feel like family. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for help with their pets at home or at a facility.
Affordable, amazing and down right awesome! We have had an AMAZING experience with them. They are so friendly, very open and have great communication. My dog, Flash, LOVED coming here. We were only going to bring him one day of our vacation, but even driving by, he got way too excited. We ended up doing drop offs almost every day because it was better then him being in the hotel room. They even bathed him for us for an excellent price. I HIGHLY recommend these guys and ask for a grooming. I'm simply amazed and appreciate the hospitality for our fur baby. I would give a million stats if I could!!!
**2023 UPDATE** Each pup's journey is unique, our experience was a positive one. While I'm truly sorry to hear about your pup's tough time, I wanted to share a heartwarming story from our visit Sunday at Paws & Claws. Our 15-year-old Figgins, a charming cocker/sheltie mix had quite the tangled tale to tell. We took him to Paws & Claws grooming salon, "grooming aversive" and in need of some extra TLC. The groomer met with the me, discussed his specific needs, and took special care to ensure Figgins felt safe and comfortable throughout the process. I received a call to pick up him up, and our groomer came out to chat about what they were able to do for him. The result? The best grooming experience Figgins has had in his impressive 15 years! ———————————————————————- Never have I met a kinder group of people to care for my critters. Genuine care, I’m saying! They have come to my home to pick up my pup for a day of day care when I injured my knee- and returned her home letter that day! They are always there to take out for babies in whenever we need them where they receive the Royal Treatment the whole time that they’re there.
Both dogs and humans receive top quality personal attention from Katelyn & Jaden at Paws & Claws. Katelyn has learned from her experience at big kennels in Texas and California that dogs are happiest and most relaxed when in a pack rather than locked in individual cages . Watch as your dog is introduced to the other dogs, a few at a time, upon arrival. Even at night all dogs are watched over. Reasonable rates. Even outside official hours you will be served if you happen to arrive late. K&J are working on setting up a dog taxi to drop off or pick up your family members in the Ocean Shores area. How is that for convenience? When your dog is at Paws & Claws you have no reason for worry or concern, your dog is in canine heaven!
This is now called Barking Around The Clock. I am extremely satisfied with the grooming services here. I called on Friday and they scheduled both of my girls to come in on Monday for grooming. Both of my female dogs are Husky mix with thick under coats. My Bernese Mountain dog/Husky mix had a crazy long thick coat about 8 inches long all the way around her body, they groomed her exactly as I asked including nails, teeth brush and her ears have never been so clean. I was amazed at the grooming quality and the great price for the heavy grooming that was required for both my girls. My Sydney (Bernese Mix) is 8 years old with hip dysplasia, she usually is in a lot of discomfort after a day at the groomer, but she was fine and in very happy spirits. I could definitely tell that they took very good care of my girls during the grooming process. I used the same groomer in Las Vegas for 25 yrs and I am so happy to have found one here in OS that will serve my pets with all of the excellence of their former groomer. If I am ever in need to board my pets, I will not hesitate to use Barking Around The Clock.
My fiancé and I went out of town on vacation and boarded our pup here. They were amazing! I was gonna be late getting into town and they had him dropped off at my apartment so I didn’t have to wait until the next day to go pick him up. When he arrived home I could tell that even through his anxiety he had a good time! When I took him for his temperament test one of the ladies met us outside and he went up to her like he had known her his whole life, and when we went in to drop him off for the 2 nights he went right in with no problems (until I left but that’s a him problem definitely not their fault!). They were amazing with my separation anxiety ridden dog! Will definitely be back when needed
I had a problem here, but not necessarily a repeating problem. A large husky-type dog mouthed and terrified my toy Aussie. I had to yell at the dog because there was no supervisor in the room. My poor baby was shaking. The dog was crated, but the damage was done. Fortunately, there was no physical harm. Not sure about taking my dogs back at this point. I understand that mistakes can be made, but I think that this was foreseeable and preventable.
I have used Paws and Claws several times in the past both for grooming appointments and for daycare. The staff at Paws and Claws have always been extremely caring for my dog. My dog is a rescue and has a tough time trusting others, but the staff at Paws and Claws has always been patient and gentle with her as she warms up. I highly recommend Paws and Claws’ services!
We love brining our Stanley here! They are always so caring with him-he is a small dog and a bit timid. The grooming has been really great too! They really love the dogs that they take care of!
Erika is great! We were in town and needed to have the girls nails trimmed. I called she said no problem I can do it right now. We brought them in and she took care of it right away. Thank u so much and will definitely stop by next time we are in need and in town
Our dogs loved their time here! We would send them here for any length of stay and rest assured they would be safe and well taken care of. Patty even posts regular pictures of the dogs on their Facebook page!
I have known Patty for almost 45 years. a very loving, caring and she is great with all animals and people as well. you will love her.
I recommend Country Pups to all my friends and family! Every dog and human so far have loved the care Patty gives to their four-legged family members! My friends who have frequent stays tell me their dogs get excited in the car as they get near County Pups!! One friend’s dog even had a medical emergency while there (dog owners worst fear) and my friend was amazed at the loving care her dog received through that issue, Patty handled her baby the same way she’d have been handled at home - her dog was back in Patty’s care during her next scheduled trip. That says a lot right there!!
What a great experience for our puppy, especially for her first ever over nighter. She was so happy, and so (obciously) well taken care of. We could not be happier with this experience and we are all very much looking forward to our next visit. Especially Bella.
Patty has cared for my puppy Indigo several times now. She has a great way with dogs and I leave town knowing my little dauchsund is well cared for. Patty also sends me photos when I start to miss her. I highly recommend this boarding facility.
My fur baby spent 2 days there and he loved it. Pictures of his day were put on the lodge Facebook page. This gave me peace of mind. The owner cares a great deal for the animals she takes in. Even though this place is 1.5 hrs from our home I will use country pups lodging for all our boardings.
Patty is the best - she has taken wonderful care of our dogs when they were visiting - will not lodge them any other place. Thank you Patty !! From Jane Erickson - shows Goggle user, wanted to let people I am not a robot. :)
The owner is wonderful. She's great with dogs and the occasional cats. Really goes the extra step to make sure your furbabies are as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend Country Pups Lodging!
The best around! Very happy with our experiences here. Our dog always comes home confident and cared for.
This is my neighbors and in the 20+years of knowing of them I have Never had an issue with them. Kind Courteous and Friendly. I haven't ever heard a bad word about them and in this day and age that SPEAKS volumes.
Karen is seriously a master of her craft. When we first met her, we could tell right away that she's highly personable and extremely competent when it comes to dog-care. We enlisted her help several times throughout the years and every time our dog, Jake, was beyond excited to see her. She's professional, flexible, funny, and great at caring for our fur baby.
I hired Karen for daily weekday walks for 6 weeks. She arrives timely, has strong communication skills and my dog loves her! I was looking for service with someone experienced, trustworthy, reliable, licensed, and insured and Karen met all this criteria and more. Look no further for your pet care!
Karen is a gem. Reliable, trustworthy, prompt and very considerate. We've used her services for almost 2 years now, through the pandemic. She has been wonderful. Our German shepherd loves her and we do too. You could not find a better person to take care of your pet. 10 Stars from us.
You will not be disappointed. Karen has been caring for my pups on and off for nearly a decade. The last six months of his life my 100lb boxer stopped using his rear end. Karen came several days a week, put him in his wheelchair, cleaned up after him (no easy task), but most importantly, genuinely cared enough to help me track his needs. She took one of the best pictures I have of my old man. I took a few years to get my next dog, which Karen has now walked several days a week for four years. My dog LOVES her walks. If I happen to be there when Karen comes my dog does not even acknowledge my presence. Karen is communicative, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I have never once worried about my pets in her care. When my dog allows me to chat with her, I genuinely enjoy her company.
Karen is reliable and goes the extra mile. We have used her service for our kitty for several years. Karen is also a fun person to chat with and we know our furry family member is in good hands!
Karen's Walkies! service is outstanding. She's reliable, professional, friendly, smart, and a pleasure to know. She's been extremely responsive and flexible when our travel plans have changed on very short notice. She's great with checking the house while we're gone and she's very easy to work with. She's well worth the cost for the piece of mind alone. I highly recommend Karen and her Walkies! service.
I'm so glad I found Oly Walkies! My family took a much-needed trip to the coast, but needed to find a reliable and trustworthy person to tend to our flock of chickens. From the time I first contacted Karen to returning our housekey, she was responsive and thorough. She even hauled in two giant boxes I hadn't been expecting until we returned. I happily and enthusiastically recommend Karen for your petsitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Karen!
Over a period of several years I used Walkies and the experience was very positive. Even when i had a crazy, out-of-control hunting dog, she was well taken care of by Karen and loved seeing her pull up with her own dog. The two became besties. Karen has an innate sense of what works and doesn't work and always has the best interest of your furbaby at heart. Call her.
Walkies is the best. Karen's been covering our cats for trips and vacations for over five years and just having her on speed dial makes us feel like more responsible pet owners. She's a fount of wisdom as well. Full marks.
Walkies! took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She also gave us valuable advice on training ideas to help manage some poor behaviors in our adopted adult Shepherd. She is clearly an expert in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone. She is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and a real animal lover!
