Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his 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 him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was 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 Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes 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 within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. 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. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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 20$ 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!
Years ago, I was a veterinarian in the Grays Harbor area. I used to bring Ace, my lab mix, to Three Sisters often. Despite his severe separation anxiety, he absolutely loved coming here and I was very pleased with the facility, price, and kindness of Gina and Rachel. They were very accommodating to our busy schedule. Ace crossed the rainbow bridge a few years back, but I will forever be thankful for services Three Sisters provided when we called Grays Harbor County, Washington our home.
It's always a great experience, with Three Sisters. We have taken our dogs to them for many years. Great people and good facilities and our dogs have always loved the owners. I highly recommend Three Sisters
We have taken our 3 girls here a couple of times. I feel happy and confident that they are having a blast and are well taken care of. They know the drill and hop right out of the car when we arrive! Love taking them here!
They are just the absolute best. Our dog Skye has been coming here for years and she loves going there so much. It’s the only place our dog will hop out of the car to go into. The people running it are great to work with as well.
I can not begin to tell you how much we love Three Sister's Boarding ♥️. Our Crazy Chocolate Lab, Daisy loves it. We took her the first time at 11 months old. We had paid for training at a facility in Tumwater and she truly learned nothing. After going to Three Sister's she is a different behaved dog. I know they do NOT provide training, but I think she learns from the other dogs. We have been taking her since 2021 and she loves it. We ask her, " Do you want to go to the Ranch " and she perks up and is ready to go. We would never leave her in anyone's care. We highly recommend Three Sister's for you Boarding needs Debbie
The best. They take very good care of your pets and the cleanliness is superb. They walk the dogs and play with them. They aren’t stuck in kennels all day. I would recommend them to a thousand people hands down. Great place.
My first experience with a kennel and it was excellent. I met one of the owners and got a completely warm, caring and genuine vibe from her. They went above & beyond to care for my buddy.
We couldn’t be any happier with three sisters this is our dogs second stay . They have a large play / exercise area that is so clean and well kept. We took a 10 day trip and it was nice knowing that our dogs were being well taken care of. Our female golden seemed to not eat the first time we gave them some food additive to add to their food. The kind lady at three sisters sent my wife a video of her eating, my wife was able relax knowing she was eating. It’s very comforting knowing your dogs are getting loving attention while you are traveling. Thank you Three Sisters
I’m new to the area and am thrilled to have found a boarding facility I can trust. Three Sisters offers group playtime several times a day, so my boy can get the exercise and socialization he needs. They have a great setup and are very reasonably priced. They have been welcoming, flexible and communicative with me.
3 Sisters is the very best boarding facility we've used in 50 years of dog ownership. We drive from Olympia to take our beagles there. The multiple playtimes that the dogs get daily tire them out. They are as excited to go there as they are when we arrive to take them home. We are so lucky to have them care for our beagles.
Absolutely the BEST dog care! We can leave for vacation and not a worry our Daisy is in good hands. Deb and Greg provide a fun place for dogs to play and they clearly love each animal as their own.
Deb and Greg are wonderful dog sitters. They have a natural empathy for dogs and provide a very homelike environment for your pets. There are some restrictions in place so please do not just show up and expect accomodations. Communication is stellar and prices are very reasonable. Absolutely recommended.
Our dogs received such good care. They go above and beyond to treat dogs with compassion and attention. I highly recommend them.
Libby had the best time staying with Deb and family. Highly recommend!!!
Deb really loves all the dogs. Your pouch is in good hands.
Our pups loved it there!
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!
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
We HIGHLY recommend Julie!! She is absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies and every dog she cares for. They will feel like and beloved like they are at home. She goes above and beyond of what I have experienced with other doggy daycare and boarding. My boys get super excited about going to see her.
Can’t say enough good things about Julie!! She treats my dogs like they are her own and they LOVE going to her house! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and is extra skilled at taking care of the little ones (mine are 5 and 7 pounds). Love love Julie!!
Julie is amazing with my boys. They love her and have so much fun playing with all of their friends. She provides all the comforts of home, everything is very clean with lots of attention and detail to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for dogs! I love all the photos she sends!!
Julie is AWESOME!!!! We haven't cut our dogs nails for YEARS because he hates to have it done and no one seems to be able to do it!! Julie jumped right in and literally did it in NO time at all and my dog had no problem at all. Thank you so much Julie!
We ABSOLUTELY adore Julie & her pet service. She is wonderful with the animals. We would recommend her highly to anyone! Cupcake loves her!
Julie is 100% professional, and also treats our pup like a family member. Our dog loves it there!
Kody loves to go to Aunt Julie’s. He loves her, and he loves all his little doggie friends there. He has a great time there. She treats all the dogs as her own family members.
Julie is the absolute best! She is so good at trimming our labs nails and is so kind and caring!
The most amazing dog sitting place ever. Julie has a true passion for little creatures. She is the original dog whisperer!!
Julie is a great dogsitter. My dog can't wait to go see her!
The best place to board your animals ! Super friendly staff and the animals are very well cared for. My baby is always happy to go to daycare!
Even 10 ⭐️ aren’t enough ⭐️ to express how much I love this place! Doggie daycare has been priceless for someone who works long hours and has a highly energetic husky mix with just a few special personality “quirks!” The staff, the facilities and the service is unmatched and so needed for those of us who love our pets but maybe can’t spend as much time with our pets as we’d like (guilty)! Need more proof? A picture speaks 1000 words!!
Decent customer service. But over the years, they have changed! Prices have gone up, services per cost are less, and the last time my dogs stayed there was bad! She had new sores on her front elbows, and the fur on her rear legs were soaked with urine! A friend that works with Veterinary Hospitals told me to report them to the State. But, I gave the Facility compassion.
My dog loves her time at Bay Breeze. She is always happy to leave me and go play with the staff and she is always excited to see me when I pick her up. The staff are attentive to her needs and she gets to play with other dogs when staff agree it is a suitable match. The staff go out of their way to take care of my precious dog, even picking up her specialized food from the veterinarian across the river. I could not ask for a better home-away-from-home for my beloved pet. I can miss her, but rest easy knowing she is in very capable and happy care.
We were visiting from out of town in September and needed last minute boarding and they were fantastic. I appreciate you taking great care of my boy Moose!
I unfortunately feel as though the quality of boarding care has declined while the prices have gone up. A year ago, play time and time with a staff member was included for each day during the pet's stay, but now, if you want your pet to get the opportunity for play time, it costs an extra 10 dollars each day, and it is also an additional cost for the pet to be visited by a staff member each day. This is quite concerning to me. It makes me fear that the pets' experiences are not as good anymore, which is disappointing.
We found them when we were being turned down because our pup is GSD! No problem for them. It clean, great staff for dogs and owners. Can’t say enough! The last time we used them we were stuck in traffic and they were willing to wait for us past closing!!!Suoer undertanding and helpful!!!!
We went here with our last pack and even our ferrets! The new generation is here, so we’ll be back. So clean and friendly.
I had to bring my fur son Jasper to them because I'm trying to find a place for him and I.. And I would never take my fur son to any other place ever!! I love the ladies there and the owner is such a wonderful lady.. They are the BEST PLACE to take your fur baby to if you need them to be watched..
Our first experience for my baby. And though he was nervous, I am blown away just how much they cared to make not feel so nervous. The biggest part for me was when we were leaving and he let them pet him which usually he growls when on the leash with me but he went right up and put his head down. Thank you, thank you so much for taking such good care of my Chewy. We will definitely come back again if I need to board him.
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 !
Our boy Rico attended Brittney’s pack for a while. He loved it, he’d come home tired and happy. We always felt like he was well taken care of. He is a puppy and Brittney definitely tried her best to accommodate to his puppy needs. He even injured his tail because he was too happy, got “happy tail” one day. He is a little menace and tried to jump over the fence a couple times which caused him to injure his leg but Brittney was always very transparent and informed my husband and I. If your dog isn’t a little menace like ours you should totally go with Brittney’s outstanding business, the puppies have plenty of room to play and they will be loved and cared for. We will miss Brittney’s dog house very much.
If anyone out there is looking for a place that will love your four-legged fur baby like it was their own. Brittany‘s dog house is the place to go not only do they do doggy daycare. They have boarding and they do grooming. I have done all three and you will be incredibly happy with either service you choose to use
Brittney is spectacular! I brought my puppy to her daycare over a year ago and just recently used her for boarding with my 2 dogs who are 1 and 3. My younger girl was a rescue from Mexico and she is very cautious around everyone but she loves dogs, I told Brittney my fears as we would be over 5 hours away with no cell service and she took excellent care of my babies. She helped me out when I didn't bring enough food and she kept me updated with pictures as a bonus! Great prices and always a great experience. so grateful to have a place i trust my dogs to go.
Brittney is amazing! She’s been watching our 3 dogs for 3 years now. We have her drop in on our pups on days my husband and I both work, we also have her help out when we go on vacation. She’s also dropped everything to take one of our dogs to the vet when my husband and I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t recommend her more. Our dogs love her. She’s super communicative and sends us lots of pictures when we are on vacation. We know our dogs are in good hands with her.
Brittney is literally the sweetest person! I searched high and low for a place to let my baby boy Boston have someplace to hang out at during the day while his Dad & I have to work. He is a 7 month old rottweiler that isnt neutered, so not a single place would even bother to acknowledge him or agree to meet him because he didnt meet their "requirements." Well Brittney didnt even hesitate to invite him over for a meet and greet with her pack of pups to see if Boston would fit in with her crew. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and how much she cares for her pack. My boy has been going to her place for daycare for about 2 weeks now and I cannot be happier about how excited he gets as soon as we turn into her lane. He sees her and he goes nuts, that's how I know she is amazing. Because dogs know when they are loved and cared for, and will show it ❤ She sends me updates (because I'm one of those hover moms that worries about everything) and even sent me pic updates to put my mind at ease. if you are looking for a place to bring your pup to burn off some energy, look no further. You will not regret trusting Brittney with the care of your pets.
We LOVE Brittney’s dog house! My dogs get so excited to stay with her, and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone!
The best daycare and boarding for your dogs in Pierce County!
This is my niece & she is fantastic with animals. I highly recommend her. She and her soon to be husband have customized their home to accommodate a great pet facility. You won’t be disappointed.
Hi Vivian! I noticed you rated my business a 4 out of 5 stars and I was wondering if you could comment on this? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of caring for your pets. Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve your rating to a full five stars. Thank you!
Like many dog owners, my cavalier is one of the family. I’m a bit over protective and certainly concerned for not only his health but his daily love of life. Where to leave him while going on vacation was a difficult decision until we learned about Rosedale Pet Resort. The personal care and attention he receives there and the upscale facilities make that decision easy, now. He has been going there 3 to 4 times a year for four years. We have always been very happy with the personal care he gets and the pictures and updates received. He always seems excited to be there when we drop him off and always excited to see us when we pick him up: much like we are excited to get to our vacation spot and then happy to be home once again. It’s always hard to leave my sidekick behind but I never have to worry about his welfare at Rosedale. I truly believe we both end up with enjoyable vacations.
Couldn’t ask for a better place to board our boy. I’ve boarded two of our dogs before and Amy is amazing as always, but this was the first time my Newfie boarded alone in the 12 years of his life. We recognized that he wasn’t doing well with riding the car long distance and with the summer heat, we thought he’d do better boarding. I was naturally concerned, but Amy knew him and reassured me that he’d do fine. She couldn’t have been more right. She sent us pictures daily and he looked so happy that I had the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation even though it was without him this time. There honestly is no better place for dedicated attention to the wellbeing of dogs, especially seniors. Our dog really came to life having been blessed with so much love and attention this weekend.
Today was our 5 month old puppy’s first visit. He has had very little interaction with other dogs or people. Amy was amazing, gentle and understanding . She made Ollie’s visit as positive as possible. He came home at peace. We feel extremely grateful to have found this pet resort.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Rosedale Pet Resort. Both my dog and cat stayed over Christmas Break and Mel sent me pictures everyday of both of them, letting me know how they were doing. Where the extraordinary service came in was when our flight got cancelled and extended for 4 days because of bad weather. Without missing a step Mel said she would keep our pets as long as we needed and to not worry. I had only packed enough food for the week they would be there, so Mel and her husband Jon went out in the snow and bought both our cat and dog their food! I was so overwhelmed with emotion. What an amazing small business to do this! We ended up getting in super late on New Years Eve so Mel kept them another night for us free of charge and said that Jon would even deliver the both of them to us in the afternoon. I am so appreciative to Mel, Jon and Rosedale Pet Resort. You can tell how much they love animals. I will definitely continue to use them in the future.
Mel took such good care of my three animals which consist of two seniors (cat and dog) and a younger dog. Mel was so good at communicating with me daily, sending photos and updates on each of them it made being away from them much easier. She offers the best customer service that I have ever received and I will not go anywhere else to board my animals moving forward. Highly recommend Rosedale Pet Resort!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! We took our 3 year old goldendoodle to stay for the weekend while we attended a wedding. Drop off was easy, they gave Chewie time to get acclimated and then he had the best time playing and enjoying his weekend. I know, because Mel kept me updated with texts and pics throughout the weekend! It can be a little nerve wracking when you try a new boarding facility, but Rosedale Pet Resort made sure I was comfortable and reassured all weekend. After playing hard all weekend (and possibly rolling around I. The mud! 😜) it was such an amazing bonus to pick up our freshly bathed pup! Booking was so easy online as well. I was able to request the reservation when I was thinking about it and not try to remember during a hectic work day. I would highly recommend Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! Chewie can’t wait to go back!
Amy was fabulous with our dog George. He stayed for 10 days and had a terrific time on his daily walks. I would definitely recommend Rosedale Pet Resort. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby.
This was our first time using Rosedale Pet Resort for our eleven year old pup. From the first interaction with Mel, it was clear how passionate she is about taking care of animals. Rosedale Pet Resort stands by its name; it has a small “boutique” feel to it with personalized care. The grounds are fully fenced with trails and grassy areas for the pups to get lots of exercise. The “Deluxe Sleepaway Campout/Dog Bunkhouse” is private, secure and clean with a comfy dog bed and plenty of room to move around- there are no crates which is a big plus! Mel provided me with lots of pictures and updates each day and I could tell how much fun our pup was having playing with the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing that my pup was being so well taken care of. The icing on the cake was that Mel gives all dogs a bath just before pick-up time. My pup was so soft and smelled heavenly! We have the highest praise for Mel and look forward to using her services again.
THANK YOU to Mel, Jon and the Perry Kids for loving our dogs like they were your own while we went on a mini-vacation. We were beyond impressed with the ease of making an appointment via your website, your attention to detail to ensure the dogs needs are met while keeping them safe and having fun while they had their own vacation! Rosedale Pet Resort is exactly what Gig Harbor needed and we are lucky to have a local family care for our loved ones as much as they do. Our previous kennels felt cold/drop your dog and leave kind of places. The Perry's made us feel welcome and put our minds at ease as we were worried about leaving our Olde English Bulldogge because he is a bulldog! Stubborn, doesn't play nice all the time and loves to hog all the bed/food/treats! Mel assured us he would be loved, cared for and welcomed. Mel took the time to introduce Russell to others, gave him his allergy meds and made sure he had "his space" when he needed it. Lola our Boxer loved her time as well. Jon and Mel took the extra time to send us pictures and give us updates on them both. You could see the smiles on our dogs faces!! They were have an amazing time which made our time away even more enjoyable. BONUS: Lola and Russell got a bath before we picked them up which is included with the stay! We never had a kennel do this or felt this at ease with any other kennel. They are now home happy, clean and exhausted!! If anyone needs a place for their dog or cat we would HIGHLY recommend Mel & Jon Perry at the Rosedale Pet Resort! Thank you for caring and loving our dogs so much!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mel. I had several questions before my reservation and she answered them all in a timely manner. My two senior puggles stayed Monday-Friday while I was on a work trip. One of my dogs has several medication needs and behavioral quirks and Mel was willing to take them all on at no additional charge. I got regular updates along with adorable pictures and when my flight was delayed she even let me pick up after hours. I would board my dogs here again in a heartbeat, you can tell they are treated with care!
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.
