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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
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.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $21/week 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!
Karen is seriously a master of her craft. When we first met her, we could tell right away that she's highly personable and extremely competent when it comes to dog-care. We enlisted her help several times throughout the years and every time our dog, Jake, was beyond excited to see her. She's professional, flexible, funny, and great at caring for our fur baby.
I hired Karen for daily weekday walks for 6 weeks. She arrives timely, has strong communication skills and my dog loves her! I was looking for service with someone experienced, trustworthy, reliable, licensed, and insured and Karen met all this criteria and more. Look no further for your pet care!
Karen is a gem. Reliable, trustworthy, prompt and very considerate. We've used her services for almost 2 years now, through the pandemic. She has been wonderful. Our German shepherd loves her and we do too. You could not find a better person to take care of your pet. 10 Stars from us.
You will not be disappointed. Karen has been caring for my pups on and off for nearly a decade. The last six months of his life my 100lb boxer stopped using his rear end. Karen came several days a week, put him in his wheelchair, cleaned up after him (no easy task), but most importantly, genuinely cared enough to help me track his needs. She took one of the best pictures I have of my old man. I took a few years to get my next dog, which Karen has now walked several days a week for four years. My dog LOVES her walks. If I happen to be there when Karen comes my dog does not even acknowledge my presence. Karen is communicative, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I have never once worried about my pets in her care. When my dog allows me to chat with her, I genuinely enjoy her company.
Karen is reliable and goes the extra mile. We have used her service for our kitty for several years. Karen is also a fun person to chat with and we know our furry family member is in good hands!
Karen's Walkies! service is outstanding. She's reliable, professional, friendly, smart, and a pleasure to know. She's been extremely responsive and flexible when our travel plans have changed on very short notice. She's great with checking the house while we're gone and she's very easy to work with. She's well worth the cost for the piece of mind alone. I highly recommend Karen and her Walkies! service.
I'm so glad I found Oly Walkies! My family took a much-needed trip to the coast, but needed to find a reliable and trustworthy person to tend to our flock of chickens. From the time I first contacted Karen to returning our housekey, she was responsive and thorough. She even hauled in two giant boxes I hadn't been expecting until we returned. I happily and enthusiastically recommend Karen for your petsitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Karen!
Over a period of several years I used Walkies and the experience was very positive. Even when i had a crazy, out-of-control hunting dog, she was well taken care of by Karen and loved seeing her pull up with her own dog. The two became besties. Karen has an innate sense of what works and doesn't work and always has the best interest of your furbaby at heart. Call her.
Walkies is the best. Karen's been covering our cats for trips and vacations for over five years and just having her on speed dial makes us feel like more responsible pet owners. She's a fount of wisdom as well. Full marks.
Walkies! took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She also gave us valuable advice on training ideas to help manage some poor behaviors in our adopted adult Shepherd. She is clearly an expert in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone. She is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and a real animal lover!
I moved from out of state and was really hoping to find a great place to bring my dog for boarding and daycare that he would fit into. He LOVES it at Carolyn’s. With a not super social but really high energy dog, Carolyn’s is the perfect place for him and I always trust he will be taken care of and come home calm and tired. What you get for the price is definitely worth it. They have plenty of staff and care for all the pups and make sure they all are grouped together so they get along. Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care. They post updates during the day which is a cute way to check in on your pup. Everything from our first meet and greet day to extended boarding, I know my dog will be taken care of and enjoy his time. Highly recommend this place.
We found Carolyn’s K9 Retreat earlier this summer when looking for a doggy daycare and boarding for our sweet six month old Aussiedoodle, Gus. They were very responsive to set up a plan to help Gus get accommodated so we could board him for our vacation in a month. All the staff members are so kind and loving to all the pups! Our Gus had some separation anxiety issues during his first doggy daycare stays and his first overnight stay. The staff was very patience with Gus and able to help him calm down and become habituated to the new environment! Gus was able to have a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s while we were able to enjoy a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. I would totally recommend Carolyn’s K9 Retreat for doggy daycare and boarding, especially for dogs who are not fully kennel trained!
BEST DOGGY DAYCARE IN TOWN! The space is great and the staff is super friendly. My pup gets very excited every time we drop him off, and fulfilled and exhausted by the time we get home. This truly is an outstanding place for your dog(s) to socialize and get their needed exercise.
This is like Disneyland for dogs! My dog loves this place and feels right at home here! She gets super excited when we arrive. The staff are phenomenal and very attentive. My dog is a smaller dog too and gets shy but the staff has helped her feel comfortable and welcome. She has made great doggy friends and loves staying here for the day or overnight. Your pet is in good hands when going to the Carolyn’s K9 retreat!
Carolyn’s is our pup, Dory’s favorite place!!! She gets to play all day with her friends and everyone is incredible with the dogs!! Such a clean environment as well. Their spaw treatments always leave her smelling and looking her best! We cannot recommend them enough. We are so appreciative of Carolyn’s K9 Retreat!! 🩷 …
I LOVE this place. My pup is 1 month into classes & he LOVES it! I can hardly home him back when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's tuckered out from playing & learning. Bringing him here has helped my pup in solicitation & gives him lots of time to play with other dogs. Best part is seeing the daily pics posted on FB throughout the day while my pup is there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We are so happy we’ve chosen Carolyn’s K9 Retreat as our local daycare/boarding spot. We appreciate that they require a meet & greet and a full day of daycare prior to boarding to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. We also love that they’re a no-kennel facility so our boy can lounge on a couch as he would at home. We trust their staff & know Wally is in caring, capable hands when he’s under their care!
My dog isn’t the easiest- Lola jumps all the fences, has separation anxiety and is on medication. I’ve never been able to leave her anywhere! Until Carolyn and her team!!!! Carolyn and her husband own this amazing sanctuary for our dogs! All of the employees are exceptionally caring and attentive. I now feel so comforted that we have found a place to care for our baby!!! They keep me updated as to how she is doing when I am out of town and my heart is happy knowing she is happy there.
Carolyn’s K9 Retreat is doggy Disneyland for our dog! He gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot and doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up! They send pictures and texts and treat him like family! I cannot recommend this place more! Simply one of a kind and THE BEST! Gunner will be going here forever! All their staff treat him like their own. Love this place!!
Be sure you leave your pup(s) smiling instead of sticking their tongue out at you! Reach out to Carolyn’s K9 retreat for all the daycare, grooming, and boarding needs of your dog. We sure are glad we have!
Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma inhaler which was so comforting to me! I will always use Oh My Dog Sitters for my pet's care in my absence.
Amy and her team are *great* and the Client Portal system is a huge time-saver. All of the sitters are great and the daily visit check-in, with an activity report and photos, is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Oh My Dog to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on them every visit. Each visit they contacted me to say they were there, sent pics and then gave details of their visit. They let me know when they left and how the dogs went potty and what treats or food they gave them. Highly recommend Oh My Dog (sitters) I look forward to having them in the future
Can't gush over Amy and her crew enough. The care they take and attention to safety detail is top notch. And our dogs go bonkers when they see Amy or Brenda out and about, so I know they are given the best times on their walks and visits! We hope to recommend Oh My Sitters to many more doggie parent friends -- we wish we'd found them sooner.
With Amy and crew I know our kitty is well cared for while we are gone! I love the daily reports letting us know how things are going. They even take the time to ensure our hummingbird feeders are full. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!
Amy and her team are the best pet sitters we have ever worked with. We never have to worry about our pups while out of town, and get photos and written updates with each visit through the app they use (also super convenient.) They are understanding and accommodating of our two rescue dog's needs and quirks, and truly go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy while we are gone. I cannot recommend Oh My Dog enough!
We always use OMD to care for our precious pets while away. The team is very professional, caring, and attentive to details. I recommend them highly for both cats and dogs. We always get fabulous notes and photos while we’re away which gives us peace of mind on our trip, and our pets are very well taken care of, including meds as needed and special notes.
Amy has watched our cats twice now and she is awesome! She sends daily updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond for our pets and house and it really helps remove any anxiety we have with leaving our pets at home while we are gone.
Amy from Oh My Dog! (Sitters) made friends with our shy cat in record time. She is personable, professional, and an experienced pet-sitter. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with someone checking in when we can't be there. Highly recommend -- your pets will be in good hands!
Oh My Dog! took excellent care of my diabetic cat which was such a great relief. Their attention to detail and daily pet updates were awesome. I highly recommend Oh My Dog! and will definitely use their services again.
My two huskies spent a day at doggie daycare and had a great time. They are a very busy place, but always take the time to handle my pups and be patient with them. I appreciate the staff and the great care they provide. Also recently boarded my huskies while I went out of state to help care for an ill parent. My stress was already high from the situation and leaving my fur babies only added stress. The staff were so kind and understanding. They gave me updates whenever I wanted and the pictures they sent were great. I am not sure the fur babies missed me at all! They had so much fun. I had them groomed on the day I picked them up too. It was the best grooming they had ever had. Super impressed and just love this place. See photos of fun.
I was super worried about boarding my dog as it has been 2-3 years and when he went to doggy daycare, he had a bad experience there….. however, Northwind was great!! They took good care of my boy and made sure he had the best experience! They even were able to get him to play in the social times with other dogs, which surprised me because my dog is a lil crazy sometimes.. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby while I was out of town! It’s greatly appreciated & I will be bringing him back here!
This started out a positive experience. We were boarding our 3 dogs for the first time, back in early July. We toured the facility less than a week before we dropped our dogs off to make sure we were comfortable with the decision. Everyone seemed nice and knowledgeable. We dropped our crew off 6 days later. We were gone for approx a week. When we came back, we picked up the crew and got a rundown on how they had done. We were impressed. Next day I noted my dogs were acting poorly, sneezing, coughing, lethargic. I called the kennel to ask them about it and I was told, oh yeah, there's Bordatella going through the kennel. I was told they posted a sign. We were there 3 times and never was it mentioned. I was told to just give them cough medicine and they would be fine. I was also told they would check on us in a couple days to see how it was going. We decided to call our vet and they said they would need to go on antibiotics. We also called our doctors, because my husband is a transplant patient and We were told we needed to get on antibiotics as well. There were times during the first couple of weeks our dogs were so sick, we had to sit with them in the bathroom with shower on to help them breathe. Our dogs began having diarrhea issues not long after that. We thought it was stress and the antibiotics. A few weeks later we had them tested, since it wasn't going away, and we were told they had giardia as well. Now, our dogs don't go anywhere, and they aren't around any other animals, so the only explanation was tue kennel. When we explained to our vet what had taken place and about how the kennel had handled things once we got home, they were not happy. Posting a sign and never disclosing at any point before, during or after our dogs were there, was considered poor practice in their eyes. It's one thing if the kennel staff didn't know, but they did. Why didnt they shut down and clean, air out, or whatever before taking in more dogs. We paid extra for our dogs to be kept separate from the other dogs to keep them as safe as possible. And we checked on them several times while we were gone. We also had a backup person available if they needed to be picked up. Them coming home with 2 seperate illnesses never crossed our minds. So the first thing some one is likely to say, when reading this, is these things happen. We are now heading to the end of October and our dogs are STILL sick. We've gone through several rounds of antibiotics, testing, other medications, constantly disinfecting and we are still dealing with diarrhea on a daily basis. That is 3 MONTHS of constant sickness, stress, expenses, medications, and there's no relief in sight. We have been told by the vet that because it is so contagious they keep giving it to each other. I have other pets in my home that have had to stay separated from the dogs, which compounds the stress, anxiety and workload. I want people to really think about that. We wanted to go on a vacation, which we hadn't done in years, and this is what we were left with. No being up front, no follow ups, nothing. Why would this place think ANYONE would be okay with playing roulette with their dogs health. This has ruined any trust we have in placing our pets with anyone else. If you think this is not a big deal, or okay in anyway, go ask your vet if they think this practice is okay. My husband left a review a few months ago and, in his words, no one cared. Still no follow up or explanation on why my dogs came home this sick. I'm angry. I'm angry and I'm frustrated that this experience gets a shrug and an oh well. I've noticed alot of people are speaking highly of this kennel, it was recommended to us as well, but this was our experience after ONE time when our dogs were being kept to themselves. NEVER AGAIN.
The staff was great, the tour was great but when we picked our dogs up they all had Bordetella (kennel cough). When we called them the person told us that there was something posted on the wall and we should of read it. If you are having any issues where our animals can get sick it should be discussed with us. Staff was very friendly and I liked the facilities but having a real tough time with our dogs being sick from staying there
Northwind Pet Center is a great place to drop you dog or cat off fir the day or when you go out of town. Their kennel areas are temperature control and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend them.
Very caring and efficient. Clean. Playtime. My dogs love NorthWind. Professional. Been going here for 20 years. Love them!
The only place I trust to take care of my dog. Competitively priced and a lot of different playtime and grooming options available when boarding
This is the most amazing place for daycare if your a dog! Our dog Cooper gets so excited when we tell him he is going to the North Winds! The staff is amazingly attentive and caring. We canceled coming in one day as Cooper had a sore foot. They called to make sure he was OK. The foot was totally unrelated to the NW, but the staff cared about him. We are so confident when we board him there that everyday is a good day for him. Highly recommend the NW. Such a great place!
This place has been here as long as I can remember. I took my hounddog here decades ago, and my wife takes her dog here currently. Every aspect is well worth the fee.
These guys do a great job at grooming our dogs. Highly recommend them. The manager and staff go all out for Halloween decorations.
Friendly staff and reasonable rates. I know some folks have complained about the setting of this facility in a warehouse, but all I can say is that our dog absolutely loves it at Top Dog. She gets so excited every time we turn in to park and pulls us right in through the door. To get that reaction from a fairly shy and timid dog, they must be doing something right and we appreciate it!
I’ve been using Top Dog for a while but realized I hadn’t written a review! Best place to leave your dog hands down. My dog is a big brat and he isn’t always that happy around other dogs, but oh my gosh does he have the best time of his life when he’s here. My little brat turns into a social butterfly. Jordan knows how to match him with dogs he’s compatible with, he plays, has fun, and comes home exhausted and happy. Jordan is super accommodating to all his individual needs and always responsive and sends me photos (of my little monster grinning ear-to-ear!). The other staff I’ve met is fabulous as well. I will always always recommend this service. So so happy I have a service here in the Oly area that I 100% trust with the most precious part of my heart. Thanks Top Dog!!!
I’ve been taking my pup here for about 6 months and it’s great. The staff clearly love the dogs and he always comes home happy and tuckered out. Really appreciate their care!
Nice place. It's close to my home so we gave it a shot. Lady gave us a tour of the facility on first day. I would love if they had webcams so we could look at the pups during the day, but they do post pictures on Facebook which is nice!
Top Dog is the best! I know my dog is safe and happy while I am at work. I wouldn’t take my pup anywhere else… the staff is amazing, and my girl LOVES playing with all her friends. THANKS TOP DOG DAYCARE!
Jordan and her team are so kind and wonderful. They treat the pups with love and we will continue to take Lady and Joey to Top Dog for years and years. Love you guys!
Absolute TOP choice for animal care! ***pun intended;) Jordan is an absolute angel. She treats every single animal like her own. She is a trained Vet Tech so she is a literally an expert with animals. She has personally helped me adopt and house train 2 kittens. She has dog sat untold number of friends dogs while we are in the field or ever on deployment. If I could give more than5 stars I would. The biggest thing to know is you pet is SAFE and LOVE with Jordan.
The place is literally a rusty warehouse. Tiny out door area and no cooling for the dogs during hot summer days, plus no heat during winter. If you leave your dog here remember to update your tetanus shots!
My family’s dog has been coming to Top Dog for quite a while. When returning home, having been gone for a while, I was asked by my parents to pick up our dog. I had not been to Top Dog for quite a few years, so I was unaware of the rules. Upon arriving, I had a very unpleasant encounter with one of the workers; an older woman. It made me feel very anxious, nervous, and uncomfortable to ever step foot in this place ever again. The word “hostile” was used by this worker to describe my actions when requesting to pick up my dog, and that is one of the main reasons why Top Dog no longer feels like a welcoming place.
My dog has been going here once a week for several months now. She absolutely loves it and becomes ecstatic when we bring her in. All we have to do is mention daycare to her and she loses her mind. The folks who work here are very nice. It’s obvious that they love their work and all the pups who come in. My spouse and I recommend this to all my dog owning friends.
Charlotte did a wonderful job taking care of our family’s feline friend: Kitty. Kitty was very adequately cared for and shown tons of affection by Charlotte. She was just as perfect as ever when we came to pick her up. Everything was super easy and we will definitely be coming back for long trips away from home!
Charlotte’s was extremely accommodating for my last minute trip for a family emergency. I was able to book a condo for my cat Raven with one day’s notice with a quick phone call and no issue. Drop off and pickup were easy. They were happily able to accommodate Raven’s eating schedule and provided her a cave bed “cat potato” because she was very nervous when she arrived in her new environment. I would feel comfortable leaving my kitty with Charlotte and her husband again.
When we leave Frankie with Charlotte, we know that he will be well taken care of. Her cat room is very clean and smells fresh. It's obvious that Frankie has had plenty of loving attention by how relaxed and happy he is when we pick him up at the end of our trips. Charlotte is the best!
We have been boarding our two cats with Charlotte for over 4 years now. We know they are well taken care of and treated well. It is easy to make reservations online too. We travel at least 3-4 times per year and it gives us such peace of mind knowing Charlotte will be taking care of our boys!
I’m so glad I went with Charlotte for my cat boarding needs over a two week Christmas holiday. My cats are so finicky and anxious with new places but they adjusted comfortably in their cat condo. Charlotte is so sweet and I appreciated all of the updates she sent me. I received photos and videos throughout my trip like the one below. She really takes the time to make sure you have peace of mind! When it was time to pick up the kitties, they were so relaxed and happy. They were clearly in wonderful hands! She even left each of them a little wrapped catnip stuffed toy!! It seriously can’t get better than that! Thank you Charlotte :)
We have boarded our cats at Charlotte’s 6-7 times since 2021. It is so nice to know they’re in a place that loves cats. Charlotte is a great communicator and is flexible when travel plans go sideways. The set-aside cat area in Charlotte’s home is cozy and secure. We appreciate having someone we trust to take care of our kitties! Charlotte is our go to!
This was the first time I left my cat with someone other than a family member for more than a few days, so I was a little nervous, but I really didn't need to be, because Charlotte was great with him!! She sent me updates on how he was doing during his stay, which helped to ease my worries. He's back with me now, and I can tell he had a great time and was well taken care of. I will definitely use Charlotte's Cat Shack the next time I go out of town! Highly recommend.
Charlotte has a great place for your kitty’s vacation! My cats have been staying there for years. Facility looks and smells clean and cats are well cared for. I don’t worry for one minute when I’m on vacation. Highly recommended!
My very sweet and mischievous Wally has stayed at Charlotte's six times now; most visits for a week. I felt bad leaving the little guy at first, just cause I'm an anxious mom, but now I am very confident that he will be well taken care of!!! Five stars for Charlotte's Cat Shack! Sue
I don't understand the positive reviews this place received. I should have relied on my own judgment rather than just Google reviews. The conditions were poor: the cubby my pets stayed in smelled like something died in it. The place was cluttered, and not clean. I had to repeatedly ask for updates while I was away. My cats appeared unhappy and were confined to the cubby the entire time (5 days!) without any playtime. The play area was not safe or enclosed, and the overall environment was unsanitary. When I picked up my cats, they were brought out to me without allowing me inside. The odor of cat urine and litter was so strong that I will need to thoroughly clean both my cats and their belongings. The space is unsanitary and not suitable for pet boarding.
Luca has been joining Andy and his gang on adventures for a few months now. Luca is always so excited to see him! Andy is very communicative, trustworthy and patience.
Andy has been great with our dogs. They look forward to their day with him. One of them did not like other dogs, but since she has been to Andy's she is greatly improved and we don't worry about her nipping at them. He has been a great addition to their lives.
Andy was our dog walker while in Seattle for over a year. Our dog is very selective with who she opens up to and Andy was able to connect with her and become one of her favorite people. He is still who we use for overnight stays when we go out of town. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for someone to responsibly look after their pup.
Great customer service; location and attitude. It was very cool that they offer both boarding services but also Doggy day care for when your pup wants a play date. Kind & attentive staff was happy to answer all my questions. I did find out that they are not set up for the really big breeds of dog, like mine unfortunately both are well over 90 lbs each and dogs of that size just wouldn't be comfortable & obviously we wouldn't want them to be uncomfortable. However most dogs fit their size criteria & I was recommended to them by a good friend/neighbor who has a pampered pooch & her girl loves to go play with fur friends there. Their prices seem fair & reasonable too so you love to see that too. 🐕💞🙏🙌🤙🦅🇺🇸
My pup Tillie Loves to go visit and Play...the care and Love that is given to each dog is amazing... Tillie comes home wore out from playing...5 stars!!
Amazing super friendly staff I just love Connie and Amber they really do care about your dogs. My Charlee Girl has been going there for 4 1/2 years and absolutely loves it. She gets to run fast and play hard. She is absolutely exhausted after a fun day playing with all of her friends.
I’ve been bringing my dog here for a year and a half. He is high energy and absolutely loves playing with the other dogs as well as seeing Connie and her staff! Everyone here, especially Connie, is wonderful and very knowledgeable. The dogs are closely monitored all day and any issues promptly addressed. They really love all the dogs. My pup is super tired and happy at the end of the day! Now that we have a second pup, she’ll be going there too. From my experience with Classy Canine, I have confidence that she’ll benefit greatly from some time here and increase her confidence in a safe and loving environment.
Due to our dog’s exceptionally large size, their facility wouldn’t be able to comfortably accommodate him for overnight boarding. But despite it not being the right fit for our giant, I appreciated the owner’s honesty and choice to prioritize our dog’s health and happiness over booking another slot. They were able to connect us with a great facility that could accommodate 100+ lb dogs and it saved our weekend. Kind, straightforward and helpful people!
My dad became sick and died. I respectfully asked for a partial refund. I was told that I should have communicated with the owner about it when doggie daycare was the last thing on my mind. I was denied a refund. In addition, my dog hated going there. She would know where we were and run around the car trying to get away from me. I had to carry her to the entrance and she would shake - so scared and nervous. We have gone to other daycares without this problem. She was overwhelmed and with it all being outdoors there really wasn’t anywhere she could go to be away from the bigger dogs. I would not recommend.
My two dogs love going to daycare! I started my female about 3 months ago because she has some social anxiety (even though she was started socializing as a puppy). She goes about once per week and I have noticed a huge difference in her behavior around other dogs. She is much less timid at the dog park and on walks. Both of my dogs recognize when we are driving up to Classy Canine and they can hardly wait to get inside to play. There is always someone in the dog daycare area watching the dogs and keeping the pack dynamics safe. Connie is very friendly and trustworthy. She always gives me a little update on how the dogs did during the day, and she is always happy to answer any questions I have. Connie is also working to revitalize the old property. She just installed a new larger fence for the daycare that has some extra safety features. I'm so happy I found her place, that is close to my work, and that my dogs love it!
Connie is wonderful and her employee Amber is very sweet & helpful as well - Moon loved her stay with you guys & will be back again soon! Thanks for having her in the pack, our pup definitely ran fast and played hard! Highly recommend this business, they cared for my fur baby so well and showed her a great time :)
My dog and I both love the place. My French bulldog only goes 2 times a week but would go everyday if she could. The second she wakes up she starts getting me ready so I will take her. Hours are great and prices even better. Daily or nightly rates are very affordable. We love the employees and just the whole experience.
I've been taking my Doberman to Connie for over a year and a half for daycare and I could not be more pleased!! Connie knew exactly how to handle my baby and I am loving the vast improvement in my dog's behavior! Additionally, I recently had need to board all three of my pets (two dogs, one cat) and Connie and her staff took such GREAT care of them! My dogs were clean and I think my cat smells better than when I dropped him off! Connie seems to have an intuitive edge in dealing with animals. She is forever impressing me with her thoughts, initiatives and passion. As if this weren't enough, she has great prices!! Five stars!!
I have a medical condition that requires that I spend a total of about 6 hours once every month getting a treatment. As far as I know, I will need to continue this indefinitely. My nine-year-old Chihuahua/Jack Russell rescue pup, Wally, does NOT like for me to leave him, because of issues in his past. When I received my diagnosis last Summer, it became very important to me to find a facility where he could spend these monthly chunks of time in such a way that my mind would be at ease that he was in the Best Hands available. Because of the serious nature of my condition, it is crucial that I am calm and unworried. It was very important to me that I find a location run by a person who would give him the TLC that he deserves, in order to win his trust. KimIan Acres has been a blessing to both of us. The facility is clean and safe with lots of different areas both inside and out. It is so lovely there under the big Cedar trees that I tell people that my pup goes to "nature camp." Once a month we can show up and Kim is waiting for Wally with a big smile and open arms. I feel totally confident that I can leave him with her all day and that he will be looked after with as much care as if he were at home. Kim is fully commited to the well-being of her charges here and she speaks fluent Canine! She is very interested in learning as much as possible about the health and needs of the new dogs that come to her and she takes time to carefully review their paperwork before ever beginning care. I give her and KimIan Acres our complete endorsement, and feel so very lucky to have found this place at a challenging time.
Our dogs have stayed with Kim a couple of times and it’s been great. Her place is super clean and comfy. The dogs have lots of fully-fenced space to explore. She keeps numbers low so it’s not an overwhelming boarding experience for anyone. Kim had great communication and using her services is easy. Highly recommend.
Chip loves Pawprints at Kimlan Acres! And gets spoiled every time. ❤️ Chip is the little one. Safe, beautiful place for your fur friend to vacation while you enjoy yours!
Kim and Ian are extremely accommodating and KimIan Acres Pawprints is a GREAT place. Our puppy Baxter is extremely rambunctious, but Kim does a good job of keeping him in line. We looked at several kennels but chose Pawprints and I’m so happy we did.
Kimian Acres is absolutely amazing! Kim went above and beyond to ensure that my Kaida was safe, given love and attention! There is a super clean kennel and a huge field where she could play and run. There are so many toys and visual stimuli at Kimian Acres!! I highly recommend Kimian Acres for overnight boarding and daycare!! Kim even let Kaida hang with her family and dogs in her home on Thanksgiving!!
Kim took such good care of our pup during her first time away from her family! We toured 3 places and really liked the way Pawprints is set up. Our pup was definitely well-cared for and spoiled this last week - I just hope Kim will have space for us in the future as her business grows!
Touka always gets excited when she hears she is going to Doggy Daycare. Wonderful place and great caregivers!!!
Such a great pleasure to have a reliable caretaker for our babies! Plenty of room to run yet they still take them on walks. Temperature controlled environment with fluffy beds. As if they weren't already spoiled!! Thank you so much!!!
The BEST boarding and spa in the area. Our Poppy can be a bit sensitive and have GI issues with boarding, but we finally got into here and she had no problems. On top of that she seems so happy and we love how the groomers made her look cuter than usual. The employees were so nice and attentive, even as I observed with other dogs, they truly love pets. The daily reports and pictures were so important when it came to my own nerves. I can't imagine a better place to board or groom our precious Poppy.
I don't trust anyone else with my boy Grizzly. The staff at friendly grove goes above and beyond to care for their clients. love your pup, have a trip planned? trust no one else. Friendly, kind, and extremely caring groomers and vet professionals
I have been taking Cash here for over 6 years! The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Maddy, Connor, and Devin are amazing! I would highly recommend Friendly Grove for all your dogs needs!
Friendly Grove did a great job taking care of our cat for a few days before he traveled abroad to meet up with us in Europe. They work closely with Across the Pond pet shipping so they know all the procedures and paperwork required. Friendly Grove has a wonderfully tranquil facility and I'm sure they will care for your pet just as well as they did ours.
I have been coming here for years and I love the customer service and fun monthly theme parties. This includes a variety of theme birthday/moving away parties! In addition to enriched daycare, Friendly Grove offers boarding and grooming. Below is a picture of my dogs in their theme birthday party and their favorite staff Madison.
They are really an awesome facility. The staff is awesome and does excellent grooming on my dogs. The facility is huge and has the ability to groom and board and the grounds are huge and beautiful! Highly recommend them.
Our canine friend enjoys his time at Friendly Grove. We sure do enjoy the beautiful environment he gets to participate in all day. Over the past year, they've really taken care to ease this puppy into the lifetime of grooming needs he'll face as a Groodle. Lots of breaks, playtime, going potty, and staying hydrated. They've trained him for their own practices and procedures. They will give him the food I provide for his lunch. They take the time to go over the cut before hand, at the drop off. They are very busy, very well scheduled, and managed quite well. Their price is a fair trade for services rendered under the conditions he enjoys. They commit the time to our hairy friend, and he's always happy to see them. That speaks volumes to his excellent treatment while attending day spa therapy. ;)
I've been going to Friendly Grove Resort for Dogs for the past 18 years. They, the owners, and staff are tremendous, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and caring. They have taken great care of my fur-babies for all these years.
Fabulous care and grooming for our beautiful golden retriever! Best place ever
We have used Friendly Grove for our dog for the past four years. They have done an exceptional job taking care of Bo. They take great care of her. They contacted us once to let us know she had some stomach issues (most likely something she ate prior to dropping her off) discussed care options and provided treatment. Then they followed up to let us know she was fine so we wouldn't worry during our vacation. Bo enjoys going there and playing with her friends. We are able to enjoy our trips knowing she is being taken good care of.
Our first experience with Nelly's Ark was fabulous. I have two, very bonded lab/gsp pups, littermates 9 years old. Much to my surprise they did very well and we're very happy. I was also thrilled with the results. Of course they did not need clipping but they needed good baths to get a lot of hair out and they needed a good nail clipping as well. This is not something that they do willingly at home. One person they're even exclaimed how happy my boy was when she met him in the bath! I would have bet a lot of money that he would have had his tail between his legs and been shaking during his bath but no, he was greeting everybody with a smile and a tail wag. How could I give this place anything less than five stars!!
Going with a good middle ground 3 star review as I haven't had my pet actually stay here but I took a tour that left a bad taste in my mouth. There is only someone there about 3 times a day according to our tour guide plus kennels are wire walls, this makes me incredibly anxious for reactive or aggressive dogs who they say they will take anyways. No walks are given, just a short yard time. The facility seems run down and has an overpowering chemical smell. Just be cautious please. I went in to take a look before I scheduled to have my dogs there and this place only set me on edge, there's no way I'd feel comfortable leaving them there.
Our dog Honey Bear is a Chihuahua that hates people and will not trust anyone except her own pack, her family of humans. We worry about leaving her anywhere but this time we had no choice. She has a hard character as she will trust no one, but thankfully she was warm and safe and cared for for 5 days and 4 nights last Thanksgiving weekend. She was happy to see us and recovered quickly from her melancholy of missing us. We were thankful she was well cared for in spite of her being a little difficult with strangers as she always is. I've had other places turn us down because they couldn't handle her, but at Nelly's Ark they took good care of her and we are very thankful.
Adora Dee has been going to Nelly's for approximately 6 years and she loves her groomer Kelly, if she is happy I am too. Thank you Nelly's Ark 🙂🥰 …
Our dogs LOVE coming here! The staff is amazing, communicative, and truly love the pets that stay here. ❤️
Our family had a Great Wolf lodge trip planned. We decided to board our 20-month-old, intact male GSD. My wife searched kennels in the surrounding area. Nelly's Ark came up as the best. There is a reason. First off, the facility is clean. You can tell they take pride in its appearance. Second, the staff is top-notch. They were professional, friendly, and respectful. The extra special care they provided for my boy Dutch, was immensely appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone looking to board their pup. Thanks Nelly's. 10/10
I can't say enough good things about Nelly's! They truly care about our dogs and go the extra mile to be sure they're comfortable - whether that's during their grooming session or a few day boarding stay. I feel good dropping my dogs off here, I know they're meticulously cared for. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful business.
My dog went in looking like a used mop! She has long hair and was a mess! She came out looking like a young puppy! Totally beautiful! The staff were kind and friendly.
Have taken our dog Lady there for boarding twice and will again for future trips. She's been well cared for while we were gone for a week both times. Staff is friendly and loving, you can tell they care. Boarding fees are reasonable as well.
Our dog is very sensitive to his personal space and can’t stay at other boarding services. We drove him down 1.5 hours from Seattle for 2 weeks and the staff took great care of him with zero issues- he came back a happy dog! It is well worth the drive and we are very grateful for how professional Nelly’s Ark is !
