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.

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!

We just got our puppy from Paula. Paula is so sweet and extremely reliable. She drove up to the Canadian Border to meet us there because we couldn't cross at the time. She breeds wonderful and lovable puppies. Recommend her 100%
Our experience with the breeder Paula has been wonderful, and we would definitely recommend her and her precious beagles to a friend! We brought our adorable puppy home 5 days ago, well taken care of and with all her documents. Paula helped us leave with puppy feeling prepared with strategies for house-breaking and training. Puppy has been such a joy to have in our home, with her sweet kisses, constantly wagging tail, and little gallops as she chases the cat around. She is a smart cookie and is already getting the hang of potty and crate training, with some accidents here and there! Sweet baby is trying! I mean what is not to love... thank you, Paula!
We adopted our beagle named Dobby in Oct 2022 after we lost our 16 year old beagle. Dobby has the best personality and brings us so much joy each day. He is as curious and naughty as all beagles are. He spends alot of time at Precious Companions when we travel and absolutely loves it. Paula is so knowledgeable about the dogs. She has helped us keep our little boy as healthy as possible. If you want an amazing dog who will make your family complete she is the one to adopt from or to take your dogs to for boarding.
For the first time ever boarding my dogs this was a great experience. She took great care of both of my dogs, and I felt pricing was fair for the quality of service. Thank you!
Paula runs a puppy mill of sick puppies. Read the Yelp reviews. I had a sick puppy of hers, he died just after his second birthday of an auto-immune disease and breathing complications. She ruined buying from breeders for me, she was even recommended by a coworker. $11,000 in vet bills later, left without our puppy to love. So how about that refund, Paula?
Paula is very professional and good to work with. She sent us weekly pictures and answered any questions I had within a timely manner. We just picked up our Beagle puppy from her a few days ago and he is a healthy loving pup. He warmed right up to us and is very social little guy. He is fitting right in with our family. Thank you Paula for a good experience and breeding such wonderful family companions.
Paula is the best! We've boarded our pup here and he's always happy and healthy when picked up. Plenty of good exercise and Paula is so amazing with animals. Highly recommend!
Paula is just amazing. Very personable, understanding and most of all patient. Just boarded 2 dogs for 2 nights and although I have 2 little devils she made sure they felt at home and adapted to what their needs were. Also her pricing is ALOT better and affordable than most business. I would definitely 100% recommend.
Yesterday I picked up my 3rd beagle pup from Paula, and couldnt be more happy with the experience. All 3 were extremely healthy and happy and adapted very easy to their new home. Paula worked with our schedule and almost always answered our questions within an hour or two. If anyone is looking for their own little bundle of love and joy, this is definitely the place to go.
We just met our 3rd beagle baby. She is absolutely adorable. We can't wait to introduce her to her new home. The first time we purchased a fur baby from Paula was over 16 years ago. Madison was a fun loving beagle who lived to be 16 years old. It broke our hearts to say goodbye. Ariel followed her sister To Heaven at the age of 15. After being without our babies for a month, we decided our home was not complete. I called Paula to see if she had a new litter. She did, but she also had s little girl beagle who was 9 months old and had been returned two days prior to my call. She needed a loving home where she could heal from possible abuse. She was the first to join our family. She is the most beautiful little girl but is afraid of everything. It breaks my heart to imagine the life she had before we got her. Today, we took her to help us select a new sister. Paula let us meet her mother too. Our new fur baby will join us at the end of June. We are so excited to be able to share our home and our love with these wonderful pets. Paula breeds some gorgeous dogs and she wants them to be placed in happy homes. I'm so fortunate to have found her so long ago. Thank you, Paula!
Loved it! They were very accommodating and friendly. Our dog loved it and made a friend too. The space they have for the dogs is pretty big even for a big dog. We are using them again already for another trip we have planned! They will even send you photos of your dog if you ask how they are adjusting to the other dogs and space
Trusted our dogs with Happy Tail this past month and it was their first time at any kennel. Happy Tails did incredible! One of our two dogs has severe people anxiety but the team were positive, patient, and caring. They suggested a trial night and took their time letting ‘Z’ warm up to them in his own time. After the trial and the full stay, when we came to pick the dogs up, Z was wagging his tail, running to them, and just a happy guy. With the space to socialize safely with other dogs, run around, and generally be comfortable, our dogs basically had their own vacation! Thanks team!
First time dropping my boy off overnight. I was more anxious than my dog Spock (husky/shepherd) was. These guys know what they are doing! Ensured my dog was up-to-date all vaccinations and fecal tested prior to allowing him for test night. Dog was happy to see me and taken well care of. Will use Happy Tails for sure! ~ Greg LaMadrid
This is what a tired puppy looks like after a day at Happy Tails. Today, we introduced our seven month old GSP named Bullet to Happy Tails. We dropped him off in the morning... Paul took the time showing us his facility and operation. We had a very good impression and were excited for our pup to spent the day in doggy paradise . It’s great that the dogs get to play and socialize with each other all day in a wide range of spacious areas. During the day, Paul kept us updated how Bullet was getting along. After pick up, he gave us a quick recap of the day. When we got home, Bullet got a nice brush and immediately went into deep chill mode. A good dog is a tired dog! We’ll continue to bring our pup to Happy Tails. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Was a relief while traveling to have our three dogs here. They have huge fenced fields for outdoor running and play. We left our dogs here for about a week and they were great at keeping communication via text message throughout the stay. They also provided videos/pictures of the dogs. Our dogs are picky eaters and one started refusing food and they worked with us to adjust their feeding and try different additives and things to get them to eat. They play area is outdoor with some coverings but this is western Washington so they came back honestly cleaner then we were expecting but definitely don't expect them to be spotless. Be realistic with your expectations and know your dogs are in good hands. Would love to have our dogs stay with them again in the future.
The people and services at Happy Tails are both top notch. We've been a long time customer and have recommended Happy Tails to many others. They have been a trusted partner and truly care about the well-being of each of the dogs they care for. Their facilities and large yards are great for providing the exercise our little guys need, and they always come back looking happy and like they had a fun little vacation from their parents!
Excellent.! we have 2 Rotweillers and they treated them like they're own. Anyone who knows Rottys know they are not shy. And you would be able to tell if they didn't have fun. I think our Female would have stayed there if she could. She played with the other dogs the whole time. Our male likes people more than dogs and they knew that so he stayed with the staff. Most of the time. They know how to handle our pups. And they are better dogs from the experience. I would highly recommend them. And anyone who knows Rotweiller owners know they're not shy either. Thanks again.
I had heard and read great things about Happy Tails initially, and was excited for our dogs to spend a week in their care; but unfortunately in our case the hype did not live up to it’s name. Paul and Tina were great on our trial visit, and the place seemed clean and we were happy with what we saw. Upon pickup however, the condition of our dogs proved otherwise. One dog came home with the goopiest, yellow eye infection that she certainly did not arrive with; so bad that one of her eyes was swollen and crusted shut. It was also clear that no effort was made to dry them off (they have long, wirey coats) after running around in the wet muddy yard, which means they came home with matted/stinky/itchy fur (I’m sure this probably contributed to the eye issue as well). I was disappointed that no effort was made to treat the eye problem, despite their claim to administer veterinary care should it be needed - the medicine was $20 and I would’ve been happy to reimburse. Needless to say, we won’t be going back.
After a terrible experience with hobodog in Bonney Lake I found Happy Tails in Enumclaw. Upon arrival to check the place out I notice large fields of grass for dogs to run and play in, nicely separated to keep the big dogs with the big dogs, and the little ones with the little ones. They were happy to show me the inside of the facility so I could see where my rottweiler Zeus would be sleeping. The inside was modern and clean. Each dog has a good sized kennel for when they're not playing. When Zeus stays there, one of the workers often times takes pictures of the dogs playing and posts them on Facebook. It's nice to see while I'm gone that Zeus gets to have some fun with other dogs. I can tell that the workers at Happy Tails are responsible people and love their dogs. I trust them with Zeus.
A first-class dog boarding kennel. The handlers really care for the dogs that they watch over. We can see our dog picture from their Facebook page. They’re always quick to respond to any questions about your pet.
This was such a a great place! Even though my cat was very upset about being boarded and became extra spicy, she was still taken care of with such love and understanding! I would definitely recommend this space for someone looking to board their cats!
Arlene Arlene! I mean guys! This woman is an ANGEL! So, I'm an over the road truck driver and I was freaking out cuz I had just gotten some news and needed to get off the truck and head to surgery. First, she calmed me down. Then she asked me what it is that I needed. I could hear how busy she was but she made sure to show me that she was here for me, no matter how crazy her day was. Now we all know that this is the holiday season so I CANNOT imagine how many cats she has, how many people she has on the waiting list (last time we talked she had 70 so she's a big deal), or even what HER own personal holiday plans were. Have ya'll ever thought of that?! We're all so busy freaking out, needing someone to watch our pet but what about them? Anyways. So Arlene made a miracle happen to fit me in her already impossible schedule, where my two boys needed to be taken care of for two weeks, while I undergo surgery. Then, my plans of where I was going to stay to heal fell through, so everything had to get cancelled and I just broke down. Arlene was there to console me. She went above and beyond helping me find solutions. As soon as she heard that the boys wouldn't be coming, she no longer had to communicate with me! But you know what guys, she has checked on me on more than one occasion! She shared pics of her own personal babies, each with their own story. The love she has for these felines is like no other. I have never seen anyone so in love with these creatures, as I am. Aside from Arlene's awesome rates, just talking to her for those few minutes, you'll know that your fur baby will be safe because this woman loves what she does and even told me that she wishes she had started this a long time ago. One can hear the passion and fervor in her voice and laughter. I know where to put my babies when I come visit WA for sure!
Arlene cares for your cats as though they were her own, which gives great peace of mind while traveling. When my flight was canceled and I had to extend my stay several days, Arlene was very accommodating even while packed with holiday bookings, and gave them comfortable lodgings in her office until they could get back into one of the cat condos. Despite the travel uncertainties, it was a huge relief knowing that my cats would be well cared for until I could make it back. Very responsive with any questions, knowledgeable about caring for cats with medical conditions, and sends regular updates and pictures on how your cats are doing. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to be sure their cats are comfortable and well taken care of while boarding!
Arlene is awesome! She is so knowledgeable and loving with cats. The cat rooms are spacious with windows, multiple platforms for them to climb, running water fountain, and soft/quiet music playing. I don't worry about our cat while we're gone at all because I know she's in good hands.
I've never been here but.. Aaahhhhhh cuuuuuute. Reminds me of that episode of Trailer Park Boys when bubbles opens up Kittyland. 5 out of 5 stars would bring my cat, as long as Garbage Land doesn't open up next door
Arlene is such a wonderful lady and cat boarder! Her location is wonderful and all areas are clean and maintained. Our cat came back happier than when he arrived! We thank you so much Arlene and will continue to use your services indefinitely!
Let me start off by saying that our cats are our children. My fiancé and I were in the process of selling our house and wanted a place to board our kitties during showings and open houses so they didn’t get outside by accident. Arlene took AMAZING care of our babies. She was patient with our kitty who is a little unsure of new places and people, sent us pictures and updates everyday, and made sure they knew they were loved while they were away from their people. It was also comforting to know that they weren’t in a cage, but had a room and a window to look out (with a water fountain!). I 1000% trust her with our babies again and we are so thankful for the amazing care! We will recommend cozy kitties to all our friends and family.
My two cats stayed here over the Christmas to New Year's time period. The owner was amazing and my cats really enjoyed their time there. They came home happy and healthy. I was kept up to date nearly daily with how the cats were doing. Update 5/26/23 Still love going here. This has become the only place i bring my cats when i need to leave them behind for a weekend or for a month.
This was my first time boarding my cats ( a 10 yr old and a 3 month old) and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Arlene was very punctual and responsive, quickly answering any questions. I love how passionate Arlene is about cats. I was so nervous about boarding my senior cat because he is anxious and has very poor vision. Arlene was kind enough to send me pictures of my two boys and give me updates during their stay. Best of all, both cats really enjoyed their stay. I would highly recommend this Cozy Kitties!
I was nervous about boarding my senior lady kitty. She is 15 and hasnt been boarded for 10 years. We planned to be out of town for 7 days and I didnt want my girl to be home alone as she gets lonely. I loved Cozy Kitties website and loved their love of cats. When I met Arlene and seen where Chloe would be staying I was releived and the experience just got better. We were so happy with the care Chloe got and she was happy when we picked her up. Highly recommend Cozy Kitty In
