Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $18/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!
This is a late review, but we were 100% pleased with our experience here. Being able to pick up and drop off our dog during the day was great. That enabled us to take him where we could, yet still enjoy eating out, etc.
This was my first time using a kennel and Mary was friendly, experienced and helpful for my special scheduling needs...plus my dog seemed happy there! I liked its smaller number of dogs and the location was pretty central.
Nice large inside/outside kennels with gates to close the dogs up inside at night. The owner was especially helpful when we had to find lodging for our dog on short notice.
Mary is awesome! Very happy to have found eastsound kennels.
Great place very freindly owner. Spotless place and good selection of food.
A very friendly place for people and PETS . supplies, grooming & boarding !
Dave said his dog loved it
Kennel for Sal
Wonderful
The best thing about Puget Hounds is that my dearest dog, Jake, loves to go there. He gets his hugs and love from the lovely people who work there. He has his regular dog friends. It is a second home to him. He is safe, he is fed to my directions. It is a great place for a dog and a great business to work with for a dog’s owner.
My dog Mady seems to love all of your staff. I believe that he has a good time playing with the other dogs. I was so impressed with Amber on your staff. I am handicapped and I was fearful that my dog could get out when someone opened the front dog if he was not tight on his leash. Amber helped me put his leash and harness on. She was so thoughtful and kind. Mady is only ten months old. He is a lot for me to handle with my osteoarthritis, but no one could love him more dearly and give him a better home than me. He needs the socialization at Puget Hound that I cannot give him at home.
Earlier this year we got our pup Luna signed up. She loves going to daycare! She has made great friends and it always excited when we drop her off. She comes home tired from a day full of play. The staff are very friendly.
Puget Hound has been an absolute sweet haven of delight for my dog. She loves daycare and all the fun and social interaction with other dogs. The staff is so kind and caring. The team makes it so stress free and easy to manage drop off and pick up scheduling. We can’t say enough great things about Puget Hound
Our lab Bode has been going to Puget Hound since March and so far he's loving it! It was unnerving sending my fur-baby off to daycare for the first time, but the staff at Puget Hound have been very responsive to any questions or concerns that come up. I would like to give a special thanks to Abby & Riley. Abby did our initial questionnaire for his temperament test and was super reassuring throughout the process (this helped me feel like he was in good hands!) Upon drop off/pick up, Riley always has a smile on her face and (today specifically) was prompt in relaying Bode's first photos and report with me - I'm so grateful. Big thanks to all the staff at Puget Hound!
Bandit has been going to Puget for over two years now. Not only does it give him an opportunity to run and play all day, it gives him time to interact with the other pups, which is a good thing for him. The staff are great. They clean him up on the wet days, and the always have him ready when it's time to go home. Having him somewhere that they show they care about him as much as we do is important.
Puget hound has been such a god send for me! I work from home and am always looking for an opportunity to get my little Rosie the chance to play while I’m typing away. The staff here has always fostered a fun, safe, and seamless environment for Rosie to have the best time! She has made so many friends and always comes home ready to sleep for days! Thank you Puget hound for being Rosie’s second home!
My dog Monty absolutely loves it here! He can't wait to go "play with doggies" as I tell him! The staff is so helpful, attentive, and really love the dogs, and you can really tell the dogs are having fun too. I love that he gets indoor and outdoor play time and comes home tired at the end of the day. I haven't used their boarding yet, but I would feel totally safe leaving Monty with The Puget Hound for any length of time. As a very protective dog parent, having someplace that I can safely leave my pup for the day while I run errands, work, or do whatever needs to be done is priceless. I'm so happy I found Puget Hound and recommend them to anyone!!
recently in the area and required dog daycare for my dog. Puget hound was absolutely amazing with accommodating my need and took him for the afternoon. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and friendliness of the staff. Great service and my dog seemed to have a good afternoon there
Our small dog always has a great time and has made friends. Great place to let your dog have fun while you're at work. Would recommend to others.
I love Boulevard Bark! They are so good with our animals and help take the worry out of traveling. Each day we get updates on how the animals are doing (including pictures!) and a wonderful summary of the overall pet care when we get home. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love Boulevard Bark! My dog has always struggled with being boarded when I have to travel. After researching lots of petting sitting services, I decided to try Boulevard. Best decision ever. Dixie's carer, Emily, was kind, gentle and patient. There were pictures and daily updates so I could see how Dixie was doing everyday. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing Dixie was happy and well cared for. This service is well worth the cost (and peace of mind). I will definitely be a return customer.
Emily from Boulevard Bark walks our dogs every week. We have one dog that is a bit of a challenge, but he loves Emily and waits at the top of the steps for her to arrive for the walks. Emily is reliable, professional and trustworthy. We feel super lucky to have Emily and Boulevard Bark to take care of our family pets. I highly recommend Boulevard Bark, they are the best pet care service I have used in all my years as a dog owner. 5 Stars for sure!
I have used Jessica and Emily for over a year for care for our two dogs. They are easy to get ahold of and prompt with replies when I have last minute changes or requests. They are consistent with reinforcing our training efforts. It’s clear just how much the dogs love them since they patiently start waiting by the door a few minutes before their scheduled walks. We have used Boulevard Bark for an overnight stay and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
We recently used Boulevard Bark for the first time, for a three week vacation out of the country. We chose the extended overnight option for our 2 large dogs and 2 cats, pet sitting from 3pm to 8am the following morning. It was a great fit. We received daily photos and updates on all our animals, which allowed us to focus on our trip. We greatly appreciated both their professionalism and affordability. My animals were calm and happy when we returned home. We look forward to utilizing their services again and again.
This family-operated group of animal lovers is simple the best. They amazing care of my furry monsters, and both my cat and dog seem more mellow when I return than they have with past sitters. My dog is a bit of a handful (super reactive to other animals), but sweet and I trust them to handle her. They even have a vet tech on staff! They've also managed to help me last minute when my pup caught a rotovirus and couldn't stay home all day while I worked. They are professional, trustworthy, and lovely in general. I highly recommend their services!
We all love Boulevard Bark! Rose is our dog's primary walker. She is so nice, flexible and accommodating, and completely reliable. Our dog also loves Rose - he starts baying and running around as soon as he hears her car pull up the driveway. Then he goes into a happy yelp dance when he sees her. It's so sweet. Thanks for the love! Thanks for your help!
Boulevard Bark is a top notch professional pet sitting business. I have a busy out of town work schedule and we take vacations once a year up to 10 days. Boulevard Bark has always been able to fit us in with with outstanding service. We have 3-dogs and 2-cats and there well taken of. If you want a great pet sitter, call Boulevard Bark!
Emily does an amazing job with our pups. Our house and our dogs are a bit of a challenge. Even so, we always come home to a well-kept house and happy dogs. We really appreciate the kindness she has shown our dogs and the daily updates!
I am so grateful that we found Boulevard Bark to take care of our 3 dogs when we go out of town! Two of our dogs are special needs cases and Emily has it all under control :) We get daily updates and pictures and come home to relaxed and happy pups!
I have been a very happy client of Hot Dawg Pet Care since 2018. I appreciate that their services can be tailored to meet our pets' varying needs, from short visits to longer visits to manage our current blended cat family who do not get along and require very special handling. Tamara and her crew have been there for us through multiple pets, homes, and evolving needs, and I recommend them highly.
The level of care that Tamara gives to her animal clients is unmatched. I don’t know of many people who care as much as she does. She does this because she loves what she does and it’s important to her that animals are treated with kindness & respect. I highly recommend.
Tamara is fantastic! She takes a personal interest in each of our kitties, and makes sure they get the attention and love they deserve when we are away from home.
These guys are the best and I'm picky who I entrust my dogs with. They treat them like family and are very thoughtful
We have hired Totally Tails Pet Care Services to take care of our two indoor cats many times over the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased. We receive daily email photo updates along with thorough, detailed reports while we are gone. We know they get plenty of attention and affection because our cats are always cheerful and calm when we get home with no signs of separation anxiety. Thank you Michele for your great service!
Totally Tails Pet Care Services has provided excellent, caring and reliable dog walking/pet care five days a week for the last year for our two Golden Retrievers (our dogs are now one year old and nine years old). Our family is so impressed with the level of service and professionalism provided by Totally Tails Pet Care! I highly recommend them! The daily pictures of our pets, which they email us, are just the best. It is so reassuring to know that our furry family members are well cared for while we are at work.
I hired Totally Tails to watch after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I knew I didn’t want to kennel them, so I was excited about someone coming to my home to feed, exercise, and care for my pups. Not only do they do a fantastic job of exercising the dogs they sent DAILY photos and follow-ups of their health and progress. These reports made me feel very comfortable with Totally Tails. They also rotated indoor lighting so as to give the impression that someone is always home. Superb service! Beats kenneling when your pups are in their home environment. I will contract with them again!
When it comes to Totally Tails, I have nothing but positive things to say. We trust the entire team completely and know that our dogs are in great hands when we're away. Even if our regular sitter isn't available, there is always someone on standby to ensure our pups receive all the love and attention they need. Ramona runs her business with precision and ease, making scheduling and communication a breeze. We feel lucky to have Totally Tails in our dogs' lives and highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care services.
This was the best pet care service we have ever experienced. An excellent value. The daily 30-minute visit was packed with focused attention to our cat's specific needs: food, medication, daily litter box cleaning, brushing, play time with treats, supervised outdoor deck time (indoor cat), and loving lap petting time. We received a daily review with pictures that served as both comfort and joy to us while we were away. Absolutely reliable. Knowledgeable about animal care. Loving and attentive. Professional. Responsible. Attentive to detail. Michele made sure we provided for unanticipated problems prior to leaving so our bases were covered in any event. THE BEST. We came home to a calm, happy, well cared for cat.
As fellow pet care providers we are quite picky who we leave our pack with should we go out of town. Ramona took care of a large zoo of animals (game birds, fish, Guinea pigs, and dogs). Her updates were thorough, and we came home to a clean house and happy animals. If you need a professional you can trust, you've found one here. Part of why we never leave town is not having had anyone we felt comfortable leaving them with, but now we do!
I love Michelle! We trust her implicitly with our dog and home. She goes above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans and packages when she's at our home for a dog visit. She sends us texts and pictures of our dog so we know she's taken care of. And she insists you text her that you're back home so she's assured your pet is safe. That's excellent care! Highly recommend her!
Camano Pet Sitters hav been taking care of my two Springer Spaniels for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I have the peace of mind of knowing that my dogs are being loved and cared for when I have to be gone during the day. I don't know what I would do without Michele, Pat and their crew of dog lovers. I highly recommend them for you and your pet!
I was stressed, four sorta feral cats and I had to take a trip. My vet said boarding was a bad idea because none of them would adjust well - in addition to being expensive. Camano Pet Sitters to the rescue! Not only did they do a professional job I think they made headway with my cats who were actually peeking out at them by the end of the week. I cannot recommend Camano Pet Sitters highly enough - they are now my go to folks when I have to travel. My neighbors, who travel regularly, were so impressed by the level of professionalism and caring my pets received they will be switching to Camano Pet Sitters.
Kim is amazing! She absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She is super flexible and always willing to work around our schedules as much as possible. She goes out of her way to make for the best experience possible for her clients and their animals. Our dog has been going to Kim’s for about 7 months and loves it every time. She feels right at home in Kim’s house and is well cared for and loved. We can’t recommend Kim enough!
Kim is a trustworthy person. She loves taking care of dogs and when our family go on a vacation trip we all know that our pet Rico is in good hands with her. We highly recommend Kim!
Kim is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us in caring for our two dogs. Our youngest had a UTI and bladder stones while we were away. Kim drove her to the vet and took care of her for us. She also sends updates, videos and pictures of our dogs.
I was fortunate to find Kim at Pet Pleasers in early 2020. I have a little Boston Terrier named Ariel that is always with me. When I had to leave for a location that I could not bring her, I considered cancelling my trip. Since Kim had gone to my school years ago and I knew who she was, I contacted her and had a few discussions over FB and eventually went to her house to check it out. She has such a dog friendly home. A safe fenced back yard, double gated front entrance and she treats the dogs just like her own. I was very impressed that she also wanted to have Ariel spend a few hours at her house to make sure she got along with everyone and that she wouldn’t pose problems for other dogs. That’s so important to me that she doesn’t simply accept any dog. She makes sure that she reduces the chance of problems that can occur due to animals that may be too aggressive or cause problems for other animals. She truly does everything she can to provide a safe and fun environment for every animal she cares for. I left Ariel for a few hours to see how she did and she did great, playing with other dogs and running around freely. After that I left her for a week and was pleasantly surprised to get the occasional picture and video from Kim showing me how Ariel was doing. Although I bring Ariel’s crate along, Ariel has free roam of the house and yard all day long and most of the time she jumps on Kim’s bed at night and sleeps on the bed…just as she does at home. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Pet Pleasers. I no longer have to worry about Ariel being constantly locked in a cage, or deal with the scams that so many other kennels have where they want to charge you $5 for a daily hug, or $10 for 5 minutes of one-on-one time, etc. Kim is open and honest and provides a friendly, loving home-like environment for the dogs she cares for. Her pricing is very reasonable with no extra charges for paying attention to your dog. She clearly loves animals and you can be sure she will treat your dogs like her own. I will never go anywhere else and I’m so glad to have found Kim at Pet Pleasers. I may miss my dog when I have to go away but I know she’s in good hands and don’t have to worry about her. You can’t go wrong with Kim of Pet Pleasers and I believe that once you try her, you will never go anywhere else either.
Kim is amazing with our dog! We always love having Kim watch our Daisy because we know she will be able to run and play and not be stuck in a kennel all day. Communication is great and Kim is very easy to work with. Thanks Kim!
Our senior bichon, Louie gets stressed at traditional boarding kennels. Kim from Pet Pleasers treated him like part of the family. It is a relief to have someone so great with dogs taking care of him in a home setting. Will continue to book here and recommend!
Pet Pleasers is truly like sleepover camp for our doggo! Kim’s care and consideration for the animals in her care is evident from the happy barks that greet you upon arrival. There is plenty of safe space for them to roam and play, and when it’s time for rest, they have their choice of several warm and comfortable beds. We’ve never boarded our dog before we met Kim, and it’s a relief to find someone who loves him as much as we do. Pet Pleasers for the win!
Kim has been great with my great dane Jaxi! She can be a nervous Nellie and Kim understand her needs and always makes sure she is comfortable. I have left her there for longer vacations and overnight stays. Jaxi is always glad to see me come back but Kim always sends me pictures and messages while I’m gone letting me know Jaxi is having a great time. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!!
Don't like leaving our Pomeranian, Bija with anyone, but he's treated like family at Kim's place. Just like at home he's able to sleep on the bed and watch TV. By request she will send pictures and a report of how he's doing. We have total confidence that Bija gets the attention he deserves.
I am not comfortable leaving my husky just anywhere or with anyone! Kim is the only person I have ever left her with when I leave town that I feel good about. Taken care of, safe, not in a kennel or crate with small bits of "play" time. Its a healthy environment that i have no concerns for dog illness such as parvo or kennel cough. I drive 45 min to leave my girl with Kim.
Dewey our 16 year old Aussie Golden mix needed some TLC. Having lost our groomer we decided to try NW-K9's grooming facility. Shauna listened to our concerns intently. When Dewey was ready she told me of her skin condition and suggested our Vet have a look-see. A bit more pricey but very well worth it.
I have been coming to this groomer since in was called Northwest Kennels back in 2019. I cannot speak to their daily boarding services, but I just had an unfortunate chat with someone from their business after I had to cancel a groom last minute (40 minutes notice). My son woke up with a fever and ear infections and I needed to get him to urgent care. I was informed that I would need to pay the full costs of the canceled groom ($120-$130, so has gone up quite a bit) before they would allow me to schedule again. I have never canceled last minute before. Interestingly, at our previous scheduled appointment back in 9/2022, there was a miscommunication between the staff members at the facility once we had already arrived, and we were told our groomer did not show up for our dog’s appt. We had to turn around and take our dog home. We took about a 9 month break of using them after this; as I had driven an hour from Everett to get my dog there, just to leave with no groom. I explained the situation that occurred last time, and asked if we could waive the double full groom fee, seeing as we didn’t get one last time - I was told “This is our groomer’s livelihood and last minute cancellations (30 min) before appointment time leaves them with half of their day unfilled with no time to fill the appointment, thus the 24 hour cancellation policy. At this point regardless we are booking out into August for large dog grooms that aren’t on a regular schedule. We appreciate your past patronage.” The grooming services themselves were fairly consistent and we were happy with it. To their credit, the manager did try to call and reach out after the above ^, but we will just be looking to find another facility. Hopefully other’s interactions will be smoother.
We entrusted Northwest Kennels with our little Cooper for a 4 day stay, doggie daycare and grooming. Let just say this, I dont think we've ever picked him up after an extended stay any happier than he was this time. We will trust them to care for our fur baby anytime. Thank you team Northwest Kennels.
My dogs have been going here for years and absolutely love it. They get extra interaction with people and dogs all day, which has helped with their socialization. They come home exhausted, which is amazing for preventing destructive behavior and boredom at home. The difference since they started going is massive. The staff is super friendly and good with the dogs. I've never had any issues, and the payment and booking system is easy. Highly recommend!!!
Our Daisy girl loves this place! We travel internationally quite a bit and they always update us with photos of our baby and are quick to reply whenever we ask them how she’s doing. The staff also has a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and temperament and ensure all the pups at the daycare are happy and safe. They are also very straight forward with pricing and have great, friendly customer service. We are picky with our pets and are super thankful we found this spot!
Rachel does a wonderful job our standard poodle. We constantly get compliments on his various styles.
We take our two Aussies here every four weeks for grooming and I can't express my gratitude enough. They've been getting groomed every month since they were 8 weeks old and always loved our groomer back in Wisconsin and never had any fear. However when we moved to Washington we took them to a groomer that came "highly rated" and after only a few grooming sessions my little boy would do everything to stay in the car and not get groomed. He would be shaking and terrified and curl up in the corner of the vehicle. I don't know what that other groomer did to him to make him like that, but after going to Northwest K9 just once he's no longer afraid and hops right out to get groomed again. They do a great job every time with their grooming and the dogs love going in again. Thank you guys so much!
We just had our Akita Suki groomed by Stephanie at NW K9 Inn & Spa and was very happy. Suki has always been a tough dog to groom, especially mail clipping. We have had two groomers and one vet office not able to groom her - until Stephanie. She was able to gain Suki’s confidence easily. Upon dropping Suki off, Stephanie was thorough with questions to better understand not only our hopes but to gain an understanding of Suki. One question was how she does with a dryer and I indicated we have never been able to use a dryer. To our surprise Suki tolerated the dryer to being almost dry. This was a total break through. We also boarded Suki for 1-night a month ago with good results. The staff are helpful, friendly and professional. The prices for services are reasonable. I highly recommend NW K9 Inn & Spa.
The reason I bring my dog to Northwest K-9 Inn and Spa are a number of reasons- dog lovers work there, my dog genuinely loves going there, and the customer service is great. There is one more reason, and that was reinforced yesterday when I picked up my dog. The very nice person who released my dog to me asked me is it was alright if she had clipped his nails. I said "great". It's this personalized care that I really like. Thank you very much.
We've taken one of our dogs here many times for grooming. She's a German Shepherd with a thick undercoat. Not only does she look great when she is done, she seems to genuinely enjoy her time there. We took our other dog here for the first time too recently. She's small and generally terrified of new experiences, but seemed comfortable from the moment we dropped her off. Both dogs came home looking and feeling great! We will definitely be taking both of them back!
I’ve never felt compelled to write a Google Review before but I need to sing Thomas’ praises! Truly one of the best caretakers and services I’ve ever experienced. Not only is excellent about staying in touch (reminder texts, checking in about anything around the house that seems amiss, sending pictures when he visits), I can tell that our cats absolutely love him. We have one outgoing kitty and one shy one, but when Thomas sends photos it’s so clear that the cats are having fun and are enjoying their time. Showing their bellies, playing, etc.! And Thomas’ pet photography is unmatched. I don’t know what we would do without him!
Thomas is a great pet sitter. Very caring, reliable and professional! He is wonderful with our kitties. Even our shy kitty greets him when he comes to care for them. Thomas was very thorough in the information that he gathered to care for our kitties and home. He reconfirms scheduled services a few days in advance, sends emails and pictures when caring for the kitties and asks that we notify him upon our return so he knows that we're home to take care of everything again. We've been very pleased with Thomas' services and will continue to ask him to care for our kitties. We highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for quality pet care services. Your pets will thank you!
Thomas is a great pet sitter! While we were on vacation, he sent us emails containing photos of our cats. Our house was clean, and he did everything so well! Very professional, would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter. Thanks to you Thomas for taking care of our kitties!
Update May 2023: We picked back up with Thomas after the pandemic and his service is still wonderful. Excellent care for our cats, one of whom has a complex care routine. We've used Thomas four times since November and it's been awesome. On our most recent trip, we were delayed and had to ask for one more visit at the last minute. Thomas was flexible and accommodating. It made an already stressful situation much easier! Five stars. Original review: This was our first time using a professional pet sitter to look after our two adult cats--and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our experience started with a home visit so that we could meet Thomas and he could meet our cats. Thomas was very accommodating of our schedules and agreed to meet on a Friday evening. His first move was to crouch down and meet our cats at their level. He treated them respectfully and non-threateningly. Then, he talked with us for about thirty minutes about our needs, our normal procedures, his normal procedures, etc. At the end of the meeting, we felt confident that he would take the responsibility seriously. He even had a number of general pet care tips that he shared with us that we hadn't heard before. A few days before we left, Thomas texted to confirm his first visit and make sure our travel plans hadn't changed. It was good to be assured that our cats were still on his radar. While we were gone, Thomas visited every day to feed and play with our cats, as well as scoop their litter boxes (daily) and water plants (per our instructions). He played with the cats more diligently than we probably do, and emailed us pictures of each day's adventures. He also left daily notes about what he'd done, what the cats were up to, etc. He even brought a few tried-and-true toys to supplement the toys we'd left. It was heartwarming to see photos of our kitties from thousands of miles away, and we were comforted to know that somebody was paying real attention to them. The day of our return, Thomas texted to make sure we were still on schedule. The plan was that if we didn't confirm that we were home, Thomas would keep visiting so that our kitties would be cared for. It made us feel good to know that if our flight was delayed--or cancelled--he would keep on taking care of the cats. We will absolutely use Pet Sitters by the Bay again when we travel. Peace of mind for a very reasonable price!
Thomas is such a wonderful pet sitter. He really took excellent care of our senior poodle, who takes medications night and day and is a picky eater as well. Thomas went out of his way to make sure she ate her food and was more than willing to carry her down the flights of stairs from our apartment because she has a weak leg. He sent us many updates during our trip so we know she was well cared for, and was very easily reached and attentive. We will absolutely be using Thomas again when we travel, and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!
We feel very fortunate to have found Thomas!!! While we were out of town, Thomas sent us an email with photos of our cat during each visit. Our apartment was immaculate when we returned home (wow!!!). It was obvious Bernadette had been extremely well taken care of (her toys were even in her favorite places). What a huge relief to be able to go away and know that Thomas will be our pet sitter and look after our little girl and our apartment!!! Thank you very much Thomas!!!!
Just used Pet Sitters by the Bay to care for my four cats over several days and couldn't be more pleased by the service provided by Thomas! Making the arrangements was easy and the paperwork I had to fill out was straightforward and not hard since it was my chance to talk about my cats and their preferences. I was also very impressed by the professionalism of Thomas in having back up plans in case of emergencies. I also really enjoyed getting photos of my cats emailed to me while I was away, and also showed me Thomas' amazing skill in easily handing my cat's various personalities (and idiosyncrasies). I highly recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay to anyone looking for quality pet care at affordable prices!
Thomas was amazing. Our cat couldn't have had better care and we suspect misses Thomas' morning visits! His daily reports and photos were a lovely treat each day of our trip. Highly recommended.
Thomas was very professional and friendly, and did a great job with my cat. He met me for an initial consultation to get to know my pets and fill out paperwork, and my two animals -- even my shy dog who is afraid of everyone -- immediately took to Thomas. The day before my cat sitting appointment, Thomas sent me a confirmation email, and while he was at my place, he did everything we agreed on and even vacuumed around the litter box. He left a cat calendar for me to keep, and emailed me to make sure I was back home and my cat was doing okay. I definitely recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay!
Thomas was very professional and took wonderful care of our pets! We have a cat and a dwarf rabbit. Thomas came over to feed them, play with them and do some maintenance cleanup every day while we were away (for 8 days). During that time, he sent us 3 email updates with pictures of our critters, so we had no worries during our trip. When we returned home, there were detailed notes about what went on during each of his visits (plus some new catnip toys for our kitty!). He also brought in our mail every day - no extra charge. Thomas was great and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We'll definitely be using his services during our next vacation.
Always a great experience - Team Animal Inn, thank you so much for your amazing, seamless care of our dog. I never have to worry about her when she's there, which makes vacation and work travel time much less stressful.
This family owned business is amazing. We felt very comfortable leaving our babies here while we explored the island. They even sent us photo updates. We will be using them again!
Our pup Katy seemed to have a fine time being day boarded at Animal Inn. It’s in a great location. The staff was friendly and professional. We would definitely use them again.
A lovely spot that clearly loves animals big and small. Clean and super well run. Would’ve given five stars but was charged a $50 late fee for being only 12 minutes lates past check in. Frustrating since this is when the 4:30 ferry gets you in. And felt excessive since it’s only $40/day for the boarding.
Wonderful service. Even though they couldn’t accommodate the dog for the dates I was asking, they called me back and gave some pointers on who might be able to help. Very impressive given that it’s a small island and it might be difficult to find boarding. Really appreciated it and will check back next time.
These people are very professional and very accommodating. At last minute they took in our doodle Max. They needed all the right paperwork for vaccinations and were adamant for the safety of the other animals. Max needed one of his vaccines administered due to it being almost a year and the vet stepped in and gave him the shoot just so he can board for the day. The lady that owns it was very nice and the 2 gals that worked the front office were very sweet. Their facilities were clean and lots of open space for animals. I would trust my dogs or animals with them anytime. Safe source and service right here.
Wonderful people, great service, our girl, Frankie comes home happy and safe.
We are so lucky to have this business on the island! It is run so professionally, and the staff all truly love dogs and take awesome care of the boarders. They're meticulous with paying attention to detail as well. My dog loves to go here :)
Wonderful, caring staff. My puppy loves everyone at Animal Inn. It is reassuring to know that she is happy and safe. Outstanding and highly recommended.
These folks care about your pets. We could not have been more comfortable by their attentive nature before and during the time we dropped off our two dogs. More importantly, our dogs were not stressed out when we picked them up after 4 days in the care of the very loving staff. Annie and Snoopy say thank you and we thank you as well.
I LOVE Hyline. And my Sydney (German Shepherd/Akita mix) LOVES it too. I absolutely have trust in the workers, my baby comes home happy and having played well, they have a lot of extra services available, and she gets her grooming there as well. After trying another place in town where Sydney would leave panicked and stressed out (wouldn’t eat sometimes for days after) it is a relief to know she is cared for so well at Hyline. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you Hyline. Oh, and they send the best pics!!
Hyline is a great facility if you’re looking for boarding your dog while out of town. As a daily daycare it wasn’t what I thought. Dogs are in kennels for most of the day and let out for 15 min to play and do their business… for my 5 month old she deff needs more interaction with other dogs and play time. The staff was very nice and she did have fun.
Awesome service from the personnel at Hyline Hotel, they did an amazing evaluation of our beasts, put them in a play group with 5 other dogs and submitted photos. Both our dogs looked so happy to be there, our female who is more vocal talked all the way home about the fun she had. Huge difference from previous daycare, won’t mention names. Hyline Hotel is the BEST!
Hyline is definitely one of the best doggy daycare facilities I have ever taken my dog too! My dog had the best time with other daycare goers and the handlers/staff of the company. Keep up the great work! My dogs tail never stopped wagging from how much fun he had! :)
I've used Hyline Hotel for years, both for daycare and boarding. The staff are great, friendly and welcoming and really care about giving the dogs their best. One local trainer told me that Hyline is the only kennel that she would use. They are terrific.
Guys, my cat is absolutely psycho when it comes to grooming her or trimming her nails. I don’t know how they managed to turn her sassy self into a mini lion with the cutest mane and floofy tail, but they did. Have a cat or dog that needs grooming.. just take them there already. Don’t think twice.
I was very impressed with Hyline Hotel for Dogs. Our two dogs were there over thanksgiving week and we received daily updates and photos. When we picked our girls up, they were very happy to see us and napped in the car on the way home - a sign they were content with their stay and well cared for. Everyone at Hyline was super friendly and the whole check in and out process was very streamlined. Thanks again!
Friendly, kind, compassionate and thorough daycare for our Harry. The staff are always keeping a open line of communication and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. I don't ever worry about our dogs when they are at Hyline.
Our young dog was very nervous the first couple of daycare visits, but Hyline made sure to pair her with other dogs she played well with and by the time we needed to board her there, she was confident and comfortable. They kept her safe and as happy as possible being in a different environment and I would recommend them to others as well as use them again. They are responsive and organized and kept us updated.
I have to admit that I was so nervous about leaving our dogs before leaving on a vacation. I had never left them before and a neighbor told me about how great Hyline is. We made reservations for our pups online (a really easy and straightforward process) and, from the moment that we made the reservations, Hyline responded immediately and cheerfully to any and all questions or concerns I had. Also, when I was checking them in, I had a zillion questions and each one was answered with great patience and in great detail. It was really encouraging to know that such great people would be taking care of the dogs. During their stay, we received texts and emails daily with photos of and messages about the dogs, which was so great! The dogs looked like they were having so much fun (!) playing with the other dogs and playing ball and exercising. What a great place to bring your dogs! We will definitely bring Arrow and Bella back to Hyline for our next trip. Great place and great people who truly care about your dog's needs! Highly recommend!
Claudia at Happy Paws is the best place to board your dog! We recently had our two labs, Homer and Lloyd stay with Claudia for 10 days. They were taking care of very well, they were so happy to be there. It was such a huge relief to be away, knowing our boys were happy. She sent us a daily report on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort to anyone looking for great pet care! Below are photos we received from our daily reports.
We are grateful to have such a loving, safe, and relaxing environment for our dog Kona while we were away. Happy Paws Inn & Resort is truly the best! Claudia gets to know her clients well, she pays special attention to each dogs' needs and creates an environment for all to succeed. You know you're in the right place when you pick up your dog and he is healthy happy, and a better all around doggie citizen!
We were so relieved to discover Claudia at Happy Paws to take care of our special needs rescue mutt, who is a sweetheart but is insecure and reactive. After thoroughly learning about his behavior and needs, she accepted him for exclusive overnight care. When we left him for his first trial night, we were skeptical he would be able to adjust, but Claudia is a true dog person because he settled right in with her in her comfortable doggy-centric home. She sent us multiple updates during the 24-hour period, reassuring us he was doing well and asking clarifying questions to ensure his happiness and comfort. Claudia is a gem and we highly recommend her for doggy care needs!
We highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort. we left our golden doodle, Beau with Claudia for four days and she sent pictures showing how he was getting along. It was obvious that he was having a good time. It is also obvious that Claudia cares about each dog she takes care of.
We can't say enough good about our dog's stay with Claudia. This was his first time away from us, and he couldn't have been happier. Claudia helped him adjust, relax, eat, play with the other dogs, and cuddle with her. The walks she took him on were safe and interesting, the other dogs that stayed at the same time he was with her were a great match. I love that she understood our dog and his needs so well. I highly recommend Happy Paws and Claudia. It was perfect for our dog who needs stimulation, safety, and also a home environment. Thank you, Claudia!
Claudia has watched my dog a number of times, as she takes wonderful care of him. He is always happy to go over there, and I have total peace of mind when I travel knowing that he’s having fun! I would highly recommend Claudia if you need dog sitting - she is kind, friendly, and very professional. Additionally, she cares for the dogs as though they were her own, taking the time to really bond and connect. Highly recommend! :)
There is truly no better caretaker for your pup than Claudia with Happy Paws Inn and Resort! She's loving, responsible, and will make your dog feel right at home. We are so grateful to Claudia and would make a trip to the Olympic Peninsula just so our pup could stay with her again!
Claudia is the most loving, wonderful human for our dog and we're grateful to have her here in Port Townsend. She takes the best care of our high maintenance/anxiety ridden older pup- we get lots of updates and sweet photos during his stay, and he always comes home absolutely exhausted and happy. He also knows what street she lives on and gets excited any time we drive by. :) Highly recommend Happy Paws!
As a bit of an anxious pet parent I was able to relax knowing our rambunctious pup was in great hands with Claudia. She sent daily updates and went out of her way to provide play dates for Hugo. I highly recommend Happy Paws Inn & Resort!
Happy Paws is a serene and beautiful vacation spa where my Labradoodle (Lola) gets personalized attention, long walks in the country, daily pictures, home made chicken broth mixed with her kibble and sleep induced snuggling in the owners bed. Lola even comes back smelling clean! Happy Paws is a happy place for your dog.
