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.

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.
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!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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, $20/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!
Tricia's Pet Care is a fantastic, professional, compassionate and reliable pet sitting company! Dottie and Shelley have been caring for our three cats for a few years now and always when we return home from our trips the cats are healthy and content. I can really tell that they are well cared for and that Dottie & Shelley spend time talking to them and giving them lots of love. I am so grateful to have found Tricia's Pet Care as it is such a relief knowing that my feline babies are very well taken care of when I am away from home, I highly recommend them!
Take a dog who already had separation anxiety PRIOR to the pandemic, spend 16 months with him every day and then finally leaving him at home- we were two very nervous pet parents! We moved to Whidbey last summer and sought out pet care a few months ago anticipating the return back to society. We finally took our trip and left our corgi in care of Tricia's Pet Care and we are SO happy we did. We had two meetings prior to the overnight- one with Tricia and Shelley, our watcher, and then one more a few days before the care. Shelley was absolutely fantastic with Barkley. Having to had flown home to take care of an anxious dog before, she was receptive to our worries and paid extra care and attention to our boy. We got pictures multiple times a day of our happy boy. Even with the 4th of July fireworks, we were able to complete our entire trip stress free knowing Barkley was happy. This to us is priceless! We're so confident in her care that when we were offered a chance at a new puppy, having reliable pet care sealed the deal and we're thrilled to have Shelley, Tricia and team meet our new addition in the fall. They are the perfect mix of compassionate and professional and I am so lucky we found them! Thank you!!
Wow! My first meeting with Tricia and Team. I’m so relieved that I now have a powerful team of dog lovers to care for my two Cream retrievers. Maui is 12 and Kona is 7 months. This team came prepared to ask questions as they each built a profile for each of my dogs. Talk about thorough, these guys were very very impressive. They reviewed all the key points of interest, and left with all of my immediate dates short term and further out. I would say in all my 40 years of having retrievers, and scheduling pet care people to watch over my dogs, Tricia and her Team are the best. I highly recommend “Tricia’s Pet Care” to anyone. Thanks Tricia for your love and passion for dog’s. Kevin Fallows
Since we moved to Whidbey Island in 2012, Tricia and her team have been taking care of our pets whenever we go away. It's very easy to see that our pets are well-cared for during our absence. Upon our return home, they are always waiting to greet us, as though we'd only be gone a few hours. Tricia's has taken care of other issues that might impact our pets, such as a smoke detector located very high off the ground, that was chirping incessantly because its batteries were failing. She's also been known to walk quite a ways thru snow when it was too risky to drive down our street, and also has climbed over a large tree that was blocking our street. She (and her team) are the absolute BEST!!!
Awesome pet sitting service. Everyone is super responsive and helpful. They text you updates and pictures of your pets while you are away. Would give them 10 stars if I could :) ❤️
Excellent, reliable people who really care about your animals. They have taken great care of my house, my horses, my barn cats, my chickens and my dogs!
Words can not express how much Tricia and her pet care service helped my in my time of need, her care and concern was genuine and professionalism second to none. Thank you Tricia
Tricia's Pet care is probably the best pet care service in the Northwest... Her employees go above and beyond for your pet
Sarah clearly loves dogs and knows how to care well for them. Our large breed is welcomed with enthusiasm at Vacation Pet Care, Sarah is responsive and flexible, and very reasonably priced. We get photos, videos, and other updates constantly through our 4-legged family member's stay helping us to feel connected and confident in how well she's doing while we're away. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!
Absolutely incredible place. We had our dog here for 1 week. The setup is perfect for dogs with big yards that can be separated. The owner absolutely loves dogs and it shows in how she cares for all the dogs boarding. She would send dozens of photos and videos daily to ensure we felt connected to our pup while we were away. Clear and easy communication, followed all instructions regarding food. Our dog was so happy and healthy. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Wonderful!!! If you are in need of a dog sitter, look no further! Sarah was amazing and took such great care of our dog as we went out of town. It was our first time using a dog sitter & leaving our pup in the care of someone else, and Sarah made sure he was taken care of. She texted us often sending photos and updates on how their day was going. He was able to socialize with other pups, had lots of play time, got walks and lots of love. I will definitely use Vacation Pet Care in the future and highly recommend to anyone who needs someone trustworthy to take care of my dog. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah is not just a dog sitter, she goes above and beyond to make our lives that much easier while we are away. From the many photos and videos, brushings, and quality time to refilling our dogs' water tank and mini dog lessons. Sarah always goes the extra mile to ensure our dogs have the best care. 10/10 recommend!
Sarah has watched our two dogs twice for long trips and they always have such a great time! Last time I think they were even sad to come home and punished me for 24 hours after, wanting to go back to her house. She plays with them so much, takes great care and will even do whatever training you are working on with them. She sends lots of updates and I know they are well cared for and happy.
This was our two year old corgi's first time being boarded and we are so happy he stayed with Sarah! Everyday, we received many photos and videos of our dog having a fun time with Sarah and the other dogs she was caring for. We will definitely reach out to Sarah for dog boarding in the future. She is absolutely the best!
I asked Sarah to take care of my senior dog with some special needs while I was away for a week, and I'm so glad I did. She was so attentive and caring with my four-legged soulmate, sending me pictures and videos on a regular basis and keeping me in the loop on my dog's day to day condition, mood, habits, everything. This was the first time I've ever boarded my dog, and all my worries were very quickly dispensed. Sarah is amazing and you couldn't do better for your pet care.
Sarah is amazing!! she always takes great care of our Zoey! She is 100% reliable and accommodating to our needs. I highly recommend her. Also, expect to get many pictures of your pet while she takes care of them. Thanks Sarah!
Thank you for the 5 star rating!
Thank you for the great rating!
The Bed and Biscuit is the best facility I’ve ever brought my dog to. Kelly is so thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. We’ve brought our Doberman here many times and knowing he’s in such good hands while he’s away from us is everything. We’re moving off the island soon and will still be making the trip back to board him when we need it because we love it that much. Thank you, Kelly!!
Kelly is the best! Our dog loves staying here. Good daily structure and accommodations for the pups are above and beyond any other places we've tried for overnight boarding!
So clean and orderly, leaving family dog here felt very secure and confident. Drop off and pick up is a bit restrictive but it does benefit operations and certainly the dogs. Recommend this place and will certainly be using services here again.
My dog Maisie ran in without looking back, and was sad to leave when we picked her up. Kelly the owner is great though is often busy with the dogs so keep that in mind when you are contacting her. She cares for all the pups and our young dog had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be coming back when we need boarding!
I moved to Whidbey Island 6 years ago and I immediately found Bed & Biscuit! Kelly is amazing with dogs and my Bella loves to stay there. So much so, that's sometimes she is not ready to come home! Kelly creates a safe environment, so I know that Bella is in great hands. I have boarded her for a few days to as long as a month. And I love that I can leave her with no worries! Kelly has been a lifesaver and helped me create less stress when I need to travel. We love Bed & Biscuit! ❤️
Can’t brag enough about the care and safety Kelly provides! Of course for my pup but for me too! Her attention to detail and clean facility have my Barkley so happy when I pick him up. He’d rather stay with Kelly.
My dog Polly is like my child. So I was very worried when I had to leave her. After touring Whidbey Bed and Biscuit I was so relieved because I knew she would be in good hands. Whidbey Bed and Biscuit is the only place I trust to care for Polly. It's clean with beautifully fenced yards and an immaculately kept house. Kelly treats Polly like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Whidbey Bed and Biscuit to anyone looking for excellent dog care.
Would not suggest this kennel owner. Very poor customer service. We accidentally wrote down the wrong time for the meet and greet. We showed up 25 after our meeting time (what we thought was 5 minutes early). Owner said, “you were not here on time, someone else called and I gave your reservation away. She never called to check to see if we were on the way. Horrible experience- I wouldn’t leave my dogs with her.
will NEVER bring our dog here again. not only was the lady/owner SO rude to demand my mother and another customer off the patio/porch area (when they were picking their pups up) in such a rude and disrespectful manner, our dog came out looking exhausted and weak and with a SORE spot. never bring your furry friends here. terrible service. very angry.
Our dogs just had a great time with the other dogs. Very nice facility and owner. We will definitely go back!
I cannot recommend Talin and Whidbey Island Pet Resort enough. We all want to be confident that our furry family members are safe and comfortable while we are away; Whidbey Island Pet Resort provides that peace of mind. Talin happily and accurately administered Sage's medication. She also provided periodic pictures/videos of Sage having a blast! It was really sweet to see Sage have a great time. I am relieved to know that I have finally found a second home to leave my pup at while I am out of town.
We are so happy we found Whidbey Island Pet Resort. Talin is incredible and took the best care of our dogs while we were away. They live in the house (not a concrete kennel run) and are part of the family and get lots of love and attention. She sent pics and updates to keep our minds at ease. Our dogs were happy and not stressed at all when we picked them up. Very highly recommend!
We absolutely love Talin and Whidbey Island Pet Resort. She is so engaged and obviously really loves what she does. Our Golden Ollie is always so excited when he knows he is going to visit. I would not hesitate to recommend Whidbey Island Pet Resort!
Where to even begin!!! Talin and her beautiful family are truly the most amazing people ever! Our Faith was on a vacation of her own while we were out of state. Tons of friends to play with, goats to run around with and lots of walks and sticks to catch. The amount of care, love and photos we received is beyond what I expected. They truly cared and loved our little girl, she was apart of their family. They were so accommodating with our last minute change of plans and always stayed in touch. I seriously got photos of Faith every single day. It was amazing!!!!! If you need just a day, weekend or long trip sitter for your fur babies I absolutely with all my heart recommend Whidbey island pet resort.
Talin and her family were great! We were nervous about leaving our mini dachshund overnight with someone for the first time but Talin made the experience very smooth, easy, and stress free! We got lots of updates and knew that our fur baby was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Whidbey Island Pet Resort to anyone in need of some doggy daycare!
It’s official! My beagle buddy, Carl, absolutely loves Whidbey Island Pet Resort. After one week I wasn’t sure he was going to want to come back home. They have a large lot and fenced in areas, perfect for the dogs to run around and play in. At night they get to sleep in the house which I personally prefer over leaving him in a kennel. Thanks Whidbey Island Pet Resort. We appreciate what you do. Carl is one happy pupper!
Talin is amazing and obviously cares about the dogs in her care. Highly recommend
My mini Australian Labradoodle Devi, absolutely loves to go play at Talin‘s house. Devi loves her dogs and goats and often her other dog buddies are there. Talin takes great care of Devi, I feel fortunate to have someone who treats my dog like family for daycare or boarding.
Highly recommend if you need a place to leave your pup - either for daycare or boarding. Talin took such great care of our dog, Zela. I always get emotional when I leave Zela behind when traveling, but Talin sent us constant updates and tons of pictures, which was super appreciated. Definitely going to leave Zela with her again, because she looked so comfortable and happy 🥰
We feel so lucky to have found Talin! She is kind, flexible, knowledgeable, her property is amazing, and best of all, she has a genuine love for all of the dogs in her care. Our dog, Goji, loves seeing his besties there and gets all kinds of love and snuggles from Talin and her sweet family! I trust her completely with our pup!
Kate watched both my dog (Todd) and my sister’s dog (Lenny) at my home over a long holiday weekend. Both being labradoodles, they are energetic and can be a handful. Not only was she able to provide updates and photos each day, she handled them with amazing skill. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. I will definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to other family and friends!
Kate is simply the best. We trust our Charlie girl with her and know that she cares about Charlie as much as we do. It makes me so happy and relieved to know that Charlie has a sitter who loves her so much and takes such great care of her when we can't be with her. Kate takes her on hour long walks and takes photos of her every time for us. The best part is that Charlie is smiling in all of them! I would highly recommend Kate and I'm so glad we found her!
My wife and I found Kate & Wagnolia thru Google, after our sitter-at-the-time found another job. She's been great with our energetic (handful) Doberman puppy and adult English Setter. Appreciate her text updates and flexibility with our family's schedule. Thankful for all of her help!
The owners are friendly to us and our dogs. They are more attentive than other dog boarding companies and took very good care of our 8 month puppy who is still learning to be social. The owners updated us with a video of our dogs every day while we were traveling.
This was our pup's first time being boarded, so we were a little nervous. Kate came highly recommended. I knew when I dropped our pup off, he was in good hands! I got daily photos and/or videos, he looked so happy, and that helped us enjoy our vacation. Glad to have found trusted, high quality care for our dog. We will definitely use Magnolia again!
Kate is amazing with my senior bulldog, Gigi. I travel extensively for work and I leave knowing that Gigi is well cared for and given lots of love. Kate is very responsive to texts and I appreciate all her pictures of my pup while I am gone. Quite simply you will find no better sitter in the area, I highly recommend Kate!
We recently found Wagnolia Petsitting and are so grateful. Kate has been absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog and cat. We always feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We get so many cute pictures and our pets are always happy.
Kate takes great care of our two dogs when we are out of town. She sends us updates and is quick to respond to us if we have any questions. It feels great to not have to worry about our dogs when we are away. Definitely recommend Wagnolia!
I would only trust Wagnolia with my pets! My dogs love Kate and her team! It’s the best feeling when you have to leave your animals with someone that you LOVE and your pets LOVE even more! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies and treating them like they are your own! I would recommend Wagnolia 100%. Hank and Kathy love you guys!
Kate is an excellent sitter. We’ve know her for 2 years now. Our two dogs (one elderly, one young) and cat all love her! She is super responsible and an excellent caretaker. We contact her first when we are looking for care needs!
Bone-a-fide is a godsend for people with high energy dogs. I used to spend a minimum of two hours after my workday making sure my 18 month old pup got enough exercise and mental stimulation. Now, on days when he goes to daycare, we both have peaceful evenings at home. (Pictured: a very sleepy post daycare Cowboy) Additionally, the prices are beyond reasonable, everyone who works there is very kind, and they ALWAYS put the well-being of the dogs first.
Our dog sitter situation fell through, so we opted to bring our dog here for a few days for boarding. They took excellent care of our Pyrenees while we were out of town. Great facilities, good communication, and lots of space for your dog to be social with other pups while you’re away.
We boarded our 2 Dachshunds for the first time with Bone-A-Fide and are so glad, that we found that place whenever we need to board our 2 pups. Staff is very friendly & responded to emails right away to let us know, how the dogs were doing (thanks so much Brittany:)) - we can highly recommend the place!
My rascal of a terrier ABSOLUTELY LOVES going to daycare at Bone A Fide! He can’t wait to play with the big dogs all day and comes home a very happy and tired pup! Every one of the staff that I have met has been friendly and clearly enjoys working with the dogs. I am confident that in their care he will be safe and well cared for! I can’t recommend Bone A Fide enough! A happy customer for over a year. (Photo post a day at Bone A Fide)
I have never had a dog here but I want to leave a comment for Kristi Ellis, who explained why she didn’t want to ever go back. My name is Lonnie. I had a Doberman who needed a lot of room to run and I couldn’t give it to him. I ended up let this dog I really loved, go. He needed to be a dog so bad. They did not have a place like this when I had Blue. Ma’am your dog really wants to be a dog, not a human. Dogs want to have fun and play. None of us are perfect. Not any business not any human or animal. We all are placed here on earth to figure this place out and do the very best we can. This business is no different. Perhaps they need some suggestions or constructive feedback. Please don’t turn your back on them because of a mistake. This place is trying something that they feel is good for the animals. This is the first of there kind. They are trying and they need support of people like you and me. Look over their ads and what they advertise. For me, it makes me want to go get a job there. It’s not about us, it’s about the animals well-being! That alone speaks volumes. That’s so cool! God bless you and yours. I really hope for your animals sake and for you being the owner and able to provide your four legged friend a fun place to go when he or she cant have you! Please reconsider your decision, that’s what your animal is saying.
Our dog loves it here and they are such kind people. Worth the drive from Seattle for a place with more space for the dog to run around when we are out of town
I'm sorry but I don't care what kind of business you have when your female driver, driving in a company marked van can be so selfish and rude on the highway. Am I supposed to take your info and call you for service when your driver in the company van brings everyone to an abrupt stop, dangerously, going 65 miles an hour in the toll lane, so she could illegally cut over across the double white line so that she could get off at the 522 interchange towards Woodinville, across all the lanes on southbound 405 so that she didn't have to wait in line like everyone else? Let's not forget about the part where, when everyone was honking at her, she blew everyone kisses and was a completely rude and unprofessional person. (in the COMPANY vehicle.) No thanks. I will forever tell anyone who will listen how unprofessional this company is, and how I would NEVER want my dog being transported this way. Someone who can't even control themselves while completely representing their business name and number doesn't need access to my loved ones or my patronage. I would not recommend this to anyone, especially my loved ones.
Our 2 year old hound mix has been going to Bone-A-Fide for a couple of months now, and she absolutely loves it! Our dog has more energy than two working parents can possibly burn off with morning and evening runs/walks, so the dog ranch has been a life saver for us. Our girl comes home calm and tired, and ready to relax for the evening. A big bonus is that there is a shuttle service available for certain areas around town, so she gets picked up and dropped off at our house each day. On the days when I go to the ranch to pick her up, she doesn’t even want to leave. I have to drag her out of there, so you know they are having a great time!
I've been taking my puppy here for a little while now, and they are amazing. Four, my pupper, comes home tired everytime he goes to daycare - which is so helpful as he's a very active Australian Shepherd. When I drop him off in the morning, he is always super excited and runs to the office so he can go play. All the employees I have met are nice and know Four. Definitely recommended for people with high enery dogs who love to play with other dogs.
This is the only place we bring our dogs when we go away. It’s their favorite place. The staff is amazing and our dogs come back tired and happy.
I wouldn’t go to this place if you can avoid it. I got my puppy groomed by Debbie 3 times (2 puppy intros and 1 normal groom). The puppy intro grooms were fine, but that was because they don’t cut hair in those. My first real groom, I showed Debbie inspo pics for what I was looking for and she barely glanced at the photos and followed curtly with “I can only do what she lets me”. I understand this to an extent, but to charge me $100+ for this (picture below) is insane. She basically gave her a kennel cut for her entire body and shaved everything off, but didn’t touch her face at all. My dog looked like a bobble head. This cut was something I could confidently do by myself at home for free. In addition, the interaction I had with her when attempting to show her what I liked was quite off putting and discouraging. Since this incident (well over 6mo ago) I have been a regular at A DIFFERENT SALON who 1, listens and takes genuine interest in the cut I want for my dog and 2, makes her experience so comfortable— she absolutely loves going to them and comes out looking so cute! The issue is not my dogs behavior or “what she allows” the groomer to do, but Debbie’s sloppy work and lack of dedication here at Doggy Haven.
I’d avoid this place for grooming at all cost. My golden doodle was groomed by Debbie and came back with deep cuts that required an emergency trip to the vet. The groomer didn’t even inform when we picked him up and we only noticed this once we got back home. Please don’t waste your time and $$.
Thank you Doggy Haven for lavishing love and attention on Rose and Cooper! It’s been 10+ years that I have brought all of my sweet dogs to you for care. The DH team is attentive, kind and caring. Appreciate the upgrades too to your scheduling, and updating of my kids medical files too! Blue ribbon service on every level! ♥️
It's out of the way enough that you don't have to deal with Bothell and I5 traffic. The report cards are great. They take better pictures of my dog than I can. They offer daycare and boarding, which we are doing both.
Hunter loves Doggy Haven daycare! We are so pleased he is excited when we drop him off and my favorite thing is the “report card” photos! Doggy Haven takes good care of him and he gets his exercise and friend time! We know he is in good hands all day long!
Best staff, playyard, cleanliness, grooming, and location. They send pics at the end of the day, and provide a great place for boarding, daycare or grooming. They also do training. Our puppies loves going there. Highly recommend!
This was my Kahlua’s home away from home and she loved every minute there. They treated her as if she was one of the family. Now my granddogs go there and love it too.
Easy drop off and pick up. They did a great job washing and drying our dog.
The best boarding experience we’ve had for our Boxer pup Rosie - she looks forward to her visits here with new friends! The trainers are great at keeping these pups happy and owners too with the daily photo filled report. Book ahead, they are busy!
Our dog Nola needed a special trip to the vet while we were out of the country. A family friend took her in and the girls at Doggy Haven stayed open an extra hour to provide ample time for Nola’s return back to Doggy Haven. They always take good care of our precious babies!
Erik has taken excellent care of our large greyhound since we adopted our pup in March. Greyhounds can be shy and aloof to strangers, but Erik seems to have a natural intuition in engaging with my dog; this is evident during our first meeting, and our boy has maintained a bond with Erik ever since. My significant other and I both have highly demanding jobs, and Erik has been blessing to us especially in caring for our energetic boy both during the day and sometimes overnight home stays. He pays great attention to details, has been flexible with scheduling, and always provide timely updates to let us know how our dog is doing. I knew our pup was in great hands when we arranged a week-long overnight stay with Erik. We have been incredibly pleased with how professional, communicative, and passionate Erik is about taking care of our pup.
Erik is GREAT. My little pup really looks forward to her walks with Erik.
One of the most compassionate and experienced person that I have ever met. Harley (my doggie) looks for Eric on the weekends. He truly is the animal whisperer. This is Harley the Great Dane
Erik does great with our German Shepherd puppy! He is reliable and trustworthy. We never have any concerns about our baby or the house when Erik is coming in and out. I have and will continue to recommend his services. I especially appreciate the pics he sends when he is there with her-it helps to see her so happy!
I love Erik and have been using him for years. We had a new rescue this year and even on the first visit he quickly acclimatised even though he was nervous with men specifically. I never have any doubts leaving my dogs with Erik.
Erik has helped me take care of my pet Blue and Gold Macaw and our family cat off and on for the past three years. He has been very reliable and trustworthy! We had long vacations where he needed to help us daily and he made friends with our very shy cat and was able to tend our parrot making our vacation worry free. Thank you Erik for your service!
Erik has watched our two cats twice now. Both times for four days. One of our cats has asthma and needs an inhaler. Erik has been able to give her this medication with ease and we are so grateful! We have been so impressed with this service. He is prompt and kind. Very communicative. The price is extremely reasonable. This most recent trip, we accidentally got the days wrong and he was able to accommodate! The cats really like him. Professionalism is at a 10! We will definitely hire him whenever we’re out of town and we recommend him to anyone!
My dogs love Erik! The are full of excitement when they see him arrive. He is very dependable and professional! I have two high energy dogs that Erik handles with ease. I highly recommend him!
We highly recommend Erik (Crazy Dog Man) for pet sitting. We have a large black lab/pit bull/Great Dane mix (Harley) that is a rescue, abused as a pup many years ago. He is therefore apprehensive around new people and takes awhile to gain trust. When Harley met Erik earlier this year, he took to him right away. Erik respects and understands Harley and his needs, especially now that he is a senior dog and has health issues. Erik stays at our house when we are on vacation and the occasional weekend, and provides Harley with exceptional care, including all his medications. Erik is definitely in tune with dogs, no matter their size.
Erik is very capable, conscientious and caring. My three horses and one donkey can be a handful but Erik handled them beautifully. He also did a great job of keeping their stalls, paddock and arena clean. I have recommended him to my friends, because they know I’m very particular about the quality of my pet family’s care. Erik provides that level of care!
Thrilled to Find Ray today. He has an excellent website with information and photos, he came over on-time and met the pets, he sat with me and had a nice chat. What was really comforting: 24 hour turnaround service. In time of need, Ray will stop by and feed the pets. Very comforting for me, the kids, and, of course, the pets.
Exceptional care and reliability looking after beloved pets and property.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff at CCR for caring for our big fur baby, German Shepherd Jack! We are happy to know we have such a great place on the island that he is able to stay for any future trips we go on and that we can trust he is in good hands while we are away. We had a very happy reunion, picking him up and played when he got home, and he's out snoozing and acting like his normal happy self. I was actually also very pleasantly surprised by how clean he is from playing outside during his stay in the middle of a very rainy past few days! I also really appreciated the photo updates and the report card from his stay. Thank you again!!❤️
We love our family friendly local canine resort! Aurora looks forward to weekly daycare and without hesitation we board for all of our extended vacations! This is home away from home for her! The staff treats her as their own. Now I'll be the first to admit, she is High energy, super obnoxious, extremely demanding and an attention seeker....these traits in themselves require special care for our cattle herding beast! CCR is absolutely the best! Always extending loving and attentive care! If you are looking for an extended family who is devoted to your babies CCR would be my first recommendation on the Island.
AMAZING! We had booked at the wrong kennel on the island, when we meant to book here. Since we didn’t want to have our dog stay at a place we never saw due to them not letting us tour, we decided to try our luck and see if they had an opening. They were able to get our dog in for the weekend, and didn’t charge any extra fees for anything. Thank you Kayla for helping us and being a lifesaver during our chaotic weekend!! Also she had really cool dyed hair.
We took our dogs here for a little over 3 years. The past few months have been a disaster with staffing changes; definitely not the same as when Susan ran the business. We found out on numerous occasions that our dogs were being isolated and not let out with the rest of the dogs. What's the point of taking them to day care if they're not being able to play with other dogs and socialize? We have 2 females and one male, all hounds who are very sweet and love people as well as other animals. We were told that some of the newer male dogs did not like our male dog and we found out that the new owner allows intact males. We have never been to a day care that allows intact males or females that are not spayed. This is a dangerous practice and not fair to the other dogs. I tried to have a conversation with the new owner but she pretty much ghosted me; has not returned my text messages or phone messages. Bad business!
Camano Canine Resort is my dog's home away from home. In 2021 when my husband became ill I needed a safe place for our year old goldendoodle. Chelsi and her entire staff were there for me. Sometimes before opening, sometimes late. At times we never knew when CCR would be needed, but that never mattered. They were always there, supporting me, my family and most of all my new puppy. I have seen the care and love given to my dog and pets of others. The staff greets me and my dog by name. She wags her tail enthusiastically in anticipation of getting to stay and play. I highly recommend CCR. It's November 2022 and CCR is still the place we count on for loving care. Thank you, Chelsi and all the wonderful helpers! Charlie & EeBe
Camano canine resort is the best! All of the staff is super helpful and my dogs were treated amazingly! Thank you again! Also special shoutout to Tamra and Chelsi for the help! 😍❤️ …
I love the staff here. They really care for the dogs and treat them with much love. Auggie loves it here - dare I say more than he does home? I can’t say enough good things. 5 woofs from me!
We have boarded out two small dogs multiple times, ranging from two to nine nights here. The staff is always wonderful and is happy to see our dogs! I would (and have) recommend them to anyone with a dog that needs some overnight boarding. They get playtime with other like dogs, lots of snuggles and pets, we've never had an issue. Wonderful place!
Knowledgeable, kind and caring staff. The kennels and play yards are maintained beautifully. Furthermore, I appreciate the effort that is made to separate dogs that are dangerous or that just don't get along. I have two dogs that are super sweet alone, but I would never allow them to be alone with certain other dogs that may be super sweet at home. Management here understands this and so do I because I visit at least every other day.
My pup seems to have enjoyed herself. I was given a tour and my pup had a successful meet and greet with their home pup Elinor. She was groomed well and happy. I'll be bringing her back.
