Cat Sitters in Bay City, OR

Nice place to take dog for self dog wash. Can use cash or card at machine. $15 for 15 mins, this was well worth it to me to not have to bathe dog in home bathtub! We have a large, double coated dog (Bernese Mountain Dog) this was much easier to complete his bath using the elevated tub. Machine was easy & simple to use. We will be back for future baths!

I boarded my dog with Bayview and they took such good care of him. They held and cuddled him in the beginning to ease his fears and they took very good care of him. I highly recommend them. They are dog lovers.

My Jack Russell loves going here. They always treat him like he's a king. Very friendly and kind people.

Super easy! Directions are on the machines for self wash, employees offered to help too. Haven't had my Chi groomed there yet because I just discovered them but will definitely use the self wash again! So nice to not have to bend down! If your dog also hates the dryer bring your own towel $15 for 15 minutes

Love the self dog wash! It's like a car wash for your dog - very easy to use. My Great Dane actually fit very comfortably in the large dog tub, and the nonskid bottom kept her feeling secure. Even though she's an older girl and not very spry anymore, she had no problem getting in and out. The wash includes shampoo and rinse (of course) but also has a conditioner option and even flea treatment. There's both high and low options for the dryer, so if you have a skiddish dog, you can use the quieter option. Price was very fair and plenty of time on the clock. (We didn't even use the whole time, even on my big girl!) Very nice option when you don't want to go all the way to Portland if your dog doesn't fit into the tub at home!

I've known the owner for years this is where my dog has been dealing with her skin issues and has been bathed regularly and we are so happy with her service. She is very knowledgeable of many aspects of fur babies and highly trusted

This groomer is really truly horrible, in oh-so-many ways. The first thing I noticed when I dropped my dog off was the overwhelming filth. Although I couldn't smell any pee or poop, the whole front of the salon is coated with every other kind of dust, muck, and dirt. At this point, I "noped" my dog right outta there, but she was overdue for a grooming & we didn't want any further delays. The next less-than-lovely thing about this salon was how long it took. Admittedly, our Shih-Tzu was overdue for a grooming, but even with removing mats, a wash followed by a doggie buzz cut should NOT have taken almost 7 hours. ESPECIALLY after scheduling the appointment so far in advance! (Our previous groomer groomed this same dog beautifully in well under 2 hours, no matter how overdue we were. And her facility was clean enough for a surgeon to operate in.) The third unpleasant surprise was that despite my clear verbal and written instructions NOT to spritz our dog with perfume, she was an absolute scent bomb when I picked her up. This failure to follow a basic direction would be an annoyance to many people, but I am allergic to most scents, so their choice to ignore my request could have been dangerous. So, AFTER spending almost 7 hours at this filthy salon, I STILL ended up having to give my dog a bath if I wanted to be able to breathe today. The fourth unpleasant surprise was the price. Our (sainted) former groomer charged us $40 per grooming before she moved out of the area 4 years ago. For that $40, our dog was impeccably groomed in under 2 hours in an ultra hygienic facility, and she didn't need a 2nd bath after grooming. Bay View charged us $105 to groom the same dog over the course of almost 7 hours in a facility I wouldn't allow a pet rat to live in. And they scent-bombed her to the point of me considering a trip to the ER as I write this. I 1,000,000% am okay with paying extra because it had been a while since our dog was groomed, but spending 2.5 times what we spent previously for a dramatically worse end result feels wrong. At the end of the day, yes, our dog does look better. But I'll travel to Idaho for grooming before bringing her back to this salon.

We took our toy poodle there for a groom. We wanted him trimmed short as it was July. They told us we had to bring him in at 9am (1/2 hr away). They didn't actually groom him until late afternoon and we picked him up at 5. He acted extremely traumatized. I'd never seen him like that. He was so shaved his knees were down to skin, yet they didn't touch his butt at all, no trim. They clipped his ear, and I do understand that this happens now & then but this just added insult to injury. We had to wonder if he was kept in the crate all day with no water or potty breaks. He must've drank a whole quart of water when he got home (he's 7 lbs) We'll never take him there again.

They are very nice ladies who love your animals. Who could ask for more. Unfortunately, they aren't taking any new clients. That's the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5*****.

Fantastic! I have taken my furry family to the same groomer/spa for 10+ yrs. I was worried at first (just like sending your child off for their 1st day of school) when I went and picked them up the were happy, pretty and very well taken care of. She is also very intelligent in animal health and pays close attention to anything that concerns her and let's you know. The furry kids are going back for sure.

My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!

Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)

We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!

This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!

We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!

We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.

Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.

Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!

Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!

Great staff and excellent care for our fur babies. They treat them like their nieces and nephews! Very secure with double security latching and pets always on lead when moving around the property. They take care of everything. The add-ons are a real bonus for the pups who are rambunctious and playful.

we have two dogs that can be very tough to deal with are not particularly social, old and don’t really like unfamiliar people. It can be hard to find somewhere that will take them and care for them when they’re Such grumpy old men. Laurel acres is always happy to take them not worried about their attitudes and cares for them. This is one of the only places we trust with our tough little guys.

We visited here before bringing our kitty, because we had never left her anywhere but at home, but she needed medication while we were out of town. The employees were so sweet and let us take a look at the cat room, which made me feel SO MUCH better about leaving her. Just brought her home, and she is her silly self with not a care in the world haha. We will likely be back again!

Sookie was a 1st timer at almost 15. She’d never been to a boarder. The Cattery was clean, quiet & I know she was kept healthy & well cared for. Plus, she had food she had to have medicine in & that was no problem for them. I can’t say enough good things about Megan. She was an angel! She made my request of the bottom floor happen and did many other things to alleviate my fear and worry. The only mar was the weekend woman who checked us out. She was rude & abrasive. Wish I’d gotten her name, but I was a wreck because she wouldn’t let me see Sookie.

We had a last minute first time visit the staff was extremely helpful. Juni is an Australian cattle. Loves to herd.She did great.

I always take my dog here when we go out of town. Convenient hours, my dog is happy with no issues, easy to book boarding online, and workers are friendly.

Can't recommend them enough. My boy Stevie needs a little extra care, and wears a muzzle in public. I don't have to worry when he's at Laurel Acres. All of the handlers there are qualified and trained. They are also very responsive and give me sweet pictures of my boy when I'm away!

Laurel Acre is amazing. I've been boarding my dogs here for several years every time we went on vacation. My dogs are always taken good care of. They alway come back to me happy and healthy. I would highly recommend their service to other pet parents.

My pets are always excited when I bring them here! They pay attention to how our pets are doing and have given us a call when there are any issues that are medically significant. They have stayed there for up to two weeks and were in great spirits when I came to pick them up! It is a good bit of a drive out in the sticks for either location but in my opinion it’s worth the trip.

They did an amazing job with my Roxanne, very friendly when I arrived She had me answer a few questions as she made a record. Then I went and got my dog came in and they took her back. And called me when she was ready in about an hour or so awesome place. Thank you Kristen

A dog’s hide-a-way is the perfect place for a safe and healthy outdoor environment for your pup. Dogs run free through woods and streams, and some easy obstacles for their exercise and mental stimulation. There are always plenty of humans in the vicinity of the dogs to insure the safety of the pups. They are a very professional and caring staff. If you want a safe and healthy outdoor environment for your dog, this is the place for you. Our family likes A Dog’s hide-a-way better than the indoor and crated experience of other day care businesses.

This was our first time leaving our family dog Mochi for boarding care, so we were a little bit nervous about it at first. But after meeting the kind staff, seeing the location in person, and having flexible boarding options made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Mochi had such a good time and we cannot express how happy we were knowing she was in such great hands! We also really appreciated all the updates that we received. We cannot wait to continue to bring her here!

We recently moved. My poor dog has had the worst separation anxiety. I couldn’t go anywhere without him. But it was getting to my mental health as well. We are only on day 2, but this has been a godsend. He is sleeping through the night. He's not clinging to me. He is finding peace. I am finding peace knowing that he is being taken care of when i'm working. I could cry just talking about the relief this place has given our little family. Update: we are on week 2. He was an escape artist. And I thought they would kick him out. But they actually found ways to keep him safe. And he is doing so good! And when we are home, he is getting more independent. I can’t thank these people enough. This place deserves 10 stars!!!

AMAZING! The property is great, lots of opportunity for running, climbing, and playing in the creek. The staff is super friendly and engaged with all of the dogs, and I love that they post tons of pics and videos on the Instagram page. They are super responsive to text messages, and often include a photo update!

We highly recommend A Dog's Hide-A-Way for both doggie daycare and boarding! We've been taking our dog here for a few years, and she absolutely adores the staff. We know she's in good hands here. The vast outdoor space allows her to run to her heart's content and the indoor areas are great for extreme weather days.

I can't think Karen and her staff enough for having our dog Mali for 3 days. From the meet and greet, to the staff, to knowing that Mali would be safe. She was able to sleep inside and I know she had fun, because she came home exhausted. I would not hesitate to board your pup here, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Thank you so much.

The best doggy daycare in town! This place is truly special. With more space to run around and play than a dog could dream of and the nicest owners/staff. Gary and Karen truly care about the well being of the dogs and go above and beyond for them. My little Barry goes there for daycare and I’ve boarded him as well. They’re so generous with their home, allowing him to sleep in the house and cuddle when he’s anxious. I cannot recommend this place enough! Your pups will be in great hands at A Dog’s Hide-A-Way.

My dog loves attending daycare and comes home sooo tired. The staff is friendly and easy to get a hold of if I have questions and they consistently update their IG daily, which I love because I get to see what my girl is up to. I haven’t utilized their boarding services but have had such a great experience with daycare that I plan on boarding in the near future. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun environment for their dog!

This is a great place for your dog (s). Pristine clean asphalt paths over 5 acres with fun and engaging things for your pup to do. Whether it be always supervised swimming in the creek or pond, climbing over large logs, crossing over a fun bridge complete with a tunnel, digging in dedicated areas, your dog will never be bored! When you pick up your dog they will sleep for days because they are so tired! There's even a large dog washing tub to bathe your dog when they leave.

If my dog Maggie could write this review, she would say that A Dog's Hide-a-way is her favorite place in the world. She loves going to play for a day and staying overnight. She thinks Gary and Karen could not possibly have done a better job creating the ultimate daycare and boarding for dogs. And all her human friends who work there deserve huge kisses. So thankful to have discovered this place!

I’ve known and worked with Carrie and her pet sitting business for 17 years and I highly recommend her for her timeliness, professionalism, communication and the care she has shown for my dogs. I have somewhat difficult dogs and she was easily able to work with them and sent videos and pictures to me so that I knew they were behaving with her. I wouldn’t hire anyone else!

Carrie was the consummate professional who was all ❤️. She asked all the right questions, took meticulous care of our pets as new clients, and I was able to fully rest and sink into our vacation, knowing that my five fur babies were in capable hands. Thanks for your professional compassionate care, Carrie. We are so lucky to have you!

We were so lucky to find Carrie and her husband to check in on our pets while we were away on a much needed vacation. We had never used a pet setting service before so we didn't know what to expect. However, we were blown away with the love and care they showed our pets and our home. For our first experience they sure set the bar high. Highly recommend!

Having only ever had family watch my cats, I was very nervous to have someone new come into my home and be responsible for my pets. After meeting Carrie and Dennis of Coastal Paws Pet Sitting all of those fears were alleviated. They asked insightful questions about our routine, were understanding about the cats individual needs, and went out of their way to reassure me things were going well during their visits. I will not hesitate to utilize Coastal Paws Pet Sitting again, and in fact I've already scheduled them for my next vacation.

Carrie is absolutely awesome. She is trustworthy and genuine. She was like an angel who appeared when we when moved and had lost our original pet sitter. Along our trip she kept us up to date on our two kitties. Plus, she improved their water intake by recommending a beautiful stainless steel 360 degree water fountain! The girls adore Carrie and I imagine your pets and you will think highly of her too! Thanks so much for doing what you do!

Carrie is an incredible pet sitter. She's extremely organized, knowledgeable, professional, and very experienced in caring for your pet. It's clear she loves animals and is committed to providing them with the highest level of care. I have known Carrie for four years, and I highly recommend her!

Carrie is amazing. We used her for pet waking and pet sitting for two years. She was dependable, communicative, and we never worried about leaving our dog for long periods of time as we knew he would be happy and comfortable with Carrie. He got better meals and play time there! Highly highly recommend Carrie - we were so grateful to have her as long as we did!

Carrie was wonderful in caring for our older cat while we were away. She came reliably each day and spent time with our cat. Everyday she texted us on how we was doing and sent us a picture of our cat. When we returned home, she had the room where the cat is fed and his litter box is located absolutely spotless. She also left us an activity log of her activities and the cat's behavior that we could review. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone needing cat sitting!

I have known Carrie for years now as a mentor pet care business owner to sitters all over the country. She generously holds her hand out to help us all up and listens -and immediatley provides support based on the years of experience she has from the field. I know my pets would be in more than excellent care with her and she has strict standards - not only for her own work, but for the care and well-being of your pets. When you hire Carrie and you go away, you will have that reassurance and won't even for a minute second guess whether you made the right choice. You just can't put a price on that level of peace of mind - not only with the keys to your home but they keys to the heart of your precious pets. If you are a pet parent who worries and cares about getting it right - you will call and book her right away for your next trip.

If you love your fur-babies like we do, you won't go wrong trusting their care to Carrie Seger of Coastal Paws Pet Sitting. Carrie has been our trusted pet sitter for over 11 years. She absolutely loves all animals and takes great pride in her professional pet sitting services.

I had a week long vacation out of the country and was very thrilled when I found Lori! I have never left my bunny with someone before for that long and was super nervous. Lori made me feel much better about the whole process by giving me access to the bunny room camera and her extensive knowledge on rabbits. I got to check on my little guy the whole time I was gone! Will definitely use Whisker Wise boarding the next time I’m out of town!

My three guinea pigs are very spoiled and precious to me, so it’s hard for me to leave them when we go out of town. I am so glad to have found Whisker Wise! Lori takes excellent care of my girls and responds readily to texts when I inquire about how they’re doing. They stayed with her for over two weeks this summer while we were visiting family and upon picking them up I could see they were happy and healthy (no lost weight, which happened at a previous place we boarded them at). She even gives them fresh veggies/tomatoes from her garden! Definitely recommend Whisker Wise. :)

Our guinea pigs Teddy and Domino were very well cared-for during our week and half away this month. The owner is super responsive to texts, understanding and responsible, and even sent us a cute video of our babies. :) Would definitely use again! Oh, and it was super affordable too!

Whisker Wise watched my two bonded English Lop Rabbits for about 17 days. Lori did such a good and attentive job in caring for them! They seem healthy and happy as can be. I also really enjoyed that Whisker Wise Animal Care and Boarding has cameras set up over the rabbit areas so you can check in on your rabbit at any time. Lori is also extremely kind and definitely cares about the animals themselves. When my rabbits ran out of a supplement/treat Lori went out and bought some more. I would definitely leave my Rabbits with Whisker Wise again!

When I went out of town for a week I was glad to find a place like whisker wise and someone like Lori to take care of my bunny. I've never boarded her before so I was a little apprehensive, but Lori assured me she would be very well cared for. She even offered to place her in a pen with a camera. It was so nice to see her on video whenever I wanted so I could check up on her and be able to move the camera around to see who she was rooming next to.The size of the pen looked very spacious and nicely set up with blankets. I would very much recommend Whisker Wise for any of your pocket pets and will definitely be using them again in the future!

I love Whisker Wise Animal Care & Boarding! Lori is absolutely wonderful and takes such good care of my rabbit. I never have to worry about him when I go out of town. She gives him the attention he needs and gives me updates on how he is doing. The setup she provides for rabbits is really nice and big. I used to board my bunny with my veterinarian, but I much prefer Whisker Wise. I have no reason to ever go to another boarder again!

Lori takes amazing care with the animals she watches. I was anxious to leave my newly adopted bunny for a week, but when I came back my sweet Maggie was even tamer than before! She has an amazing set up for bunnies (super cool modified room!) with toys and boxes and even little sitting pads for the bunns. She's super flexible about pick up and drop off and is very kind! She is awesome! Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience! Our senior bunny was well cared for during the 10 days we were out of town, and I loved being able to check on her via webcam. We will definitely be booking again the next time we go on a trip!

Having recently moved to the area, we were a little nervous with finding a new place to have our rabbits stay while we were out of town. Lori was great to talk to and put me at ease- additionally having a camera where we could view our buns to check in on them was a huge plus as well! Benny and Jasper were well taken care of during their stay over the New Year's holiday. Definitely will be bringing our buns here in the future for boarding. Thank you Lori!

Lori took in my bunnies at the last minute because I lost power. She was super kind and helpful! She was flexible and attentive. I know my kids were well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and will go back to her in the future.

We highly recommend Ginger Matyas for pet walking and sitting services! For the past couple of years, Ginger has cared for our beloved 12-year-old Labrador, Cash. It's clear how much Cash adores Ginger through her enthusiastic greetings her upon arrival. We are particularly grateful for Ginger's attentive care, especially with Cash's recent health issues. From administering medication to tailoring her walks and providing updates after each visit, Ginger's thoughtful and expert care is so appreciated. Photo credit to Ginger Matyas.

Ginger is the cat whisperer! Having hired other pet sitters, I did not expect the level of care, and play Ginger gave to my babies. Highly recommend!

Ginger is the best! I have 2 cats, one of them needs medications once a day. She is so loving and caring with them, and they love the "catnip parties". Having the peace of mind that they are well cared for while I'm out is priceless. I strongly recommend her services.

Ginger watched our dog Ellie, which is no small feat. Ellie is an extremely active cattle dog who demands activity. Ginger was up to the task and they fell in love with each other. Ginger is so caring and kind with animals it is really a beautiful sight to see. She really connects with all animals. Ellie was happy and well cared for and we have used Ginger numerous times since then. Ginger is the BEST!!

I want to give a huge shout out to Ginger Matyas. We have been using her to watch our two kitties in Manzanita for a few years. Ginger is a true gem! She takes great care of our kitties and lavishes them with attention. She takes and sends the best photos too! Your fur babies will love her!

Ginger is absolutely wonderful! She loves cats and knows how to give them exactly the attention they need while we're away. Our cat is very shy but Ginger was patient with him and now he comes out to play with her, which is very rare for him. She has also given us great advice and resources. She's prompt, kind, communicative, and great with cats. Couldn't recommend her more highly!

Ginger is the absolute best! She goes above and beyond for not only our cat, but for us and our home as well. We receive updates every visit which keeps us at ease, as we have an extremely shy boy. He finally opened up to her, which is a testament to her knowledge, skills and patience - now he loves when she stops by! Ginger is also more than just a cat sitter - as first time cat owners, she's provides great tips, from toys and treats to vet recommendations. Could not recommend her enough!

I knew my cat would be well taken care of after meeting Ginger. She is fantastic at what she does and is truly passionate about taking care of fur babies. I can’t recommend Ginger enough. You’ll get all the pictures and videos you need to feel better about being away. And she has great recommendations for pets supplies in the area.

All I can say is WOW - Ginger was amazing with my 2 cats when I had to go out of town. I am new to Portland and was nervous about finding someone to have come watch my cats for me in my home while I took my first trip out of town. I now have no qualms about future trips because I know my cats will be in great hands with Ginger and her team every time. She brought over toys and played with them and sent pictures/videos every day which was so great. I would 1000% recommend Ginger to anyone needing to find someone to trust their fur babies with!

Ginger has been taking care of my two cats for over two years and she is great! I have an 18 year old cat with early kidney disease and an 8 year old who is frightened of everything after being rescued by firefighters when my condo building had a fire in 2017. Ginger is patient with him and eventually gets him to come out from under my bed covers. My older cat just loves her and climbs all over her. During my last two week trip she came twice a day as it’s important for my older cat to eat regularly. She updated me with photos and videos, easing my anxiety at leaving them for so long. I totally recommend Ginger.

Great price for a small kennel. The kennels has been open since 1980 and the customer service and attention to the precious pups os outstanding. They don't charge extra for giving special medications where most places I've sent my pooch had a "pilling fee". They also offer a weekly special where the 7th night is free! Long term rates are excellent as well!

Colleen is a GREAT groomer! She says upfront that she takes her time, so you won't get a one or two hour turn-around. You will, however, get a fantastic grooming on your pet!

They apparently didn't have any access to water in the two kennels my dogs were in. First thing when we got home all four drank until they threw up. Came home with raw pads on their feet and raw elbows from rough concrete. Sadly I trusted the reviews but we won't be back.

Chris and Colleen took good care of our nervous Cockapoo. The kennels were clean and the animals were happy.

Excellent care for all my pets since 1988. I'm not willing to leave my best friends with anyone else. Chris, Colleen and their family are the best.

She works with me she isn't afraid to take care of dogs

Awesome trust worthy place. They cater to cats and dogs! 🖤 …

I love this kennel and so does my pooch!

Best pet sitter in the Portland metro area bar none. Diane has a passion for pets, and unlike some pet sitters she cares for special needs pets as well. My kitty is insulin dependent, and anytime we are leaving town we can trust to Diane to take care of him and make sure he gets all his medicine and insulin. I don't trust many people with my pets, but I trust Diane with mine. She has a passion for pets, and her kennel free boarding for dogs is top-notch. Any time I have to leave town, I can rest easy knowing our pets are well cared for.

Diane's passion for pets is awesome. For the past couple of years she has shared plenty of pet care tips to the Tigard community. Loving, caring and professional. Highly recommend

Totally trust Diane with our fur-baby, he has stayed with her numerous times! She provides a home environment and honest care.

Fantastic care for my fur babies. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else. Diane is wonderful and I know my babies are in caring and capable hands!
