Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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!
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $25/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!
I absolutely love this place they are so kind and friendly to all the animals. They definitely treat them as if they are family pets of their own. I love knowing that they will play with them and pet them and that they are not just left alone while you’re away or traveling. Very good prices and rates for all of the services they offer definitely a trusted place to bring your pets. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with everyone that works here. I wish there were more places like Paws VIP
Paws VIP has been an absolute blessing for my one-year-old dog, Rocky! The staff treats him with so much patience and care, and he genuinely loves going there. Every time we pull up, Rocky gets so excited, which says it all. The team is fantastic—they even remember little details, like making sure Rocky uses a slow feeder during mealtime. I also love the social media updates; it’s so reassuring to see Rocky having fun and socializing with other pups. Paws VIP truly lives up to its name, providing VIP treatment every time. Highly recommend!
HANDS DOWN The BEST daycare! I’ve been taking my Daisy baby here a little over 4 years and she absolutely LOVES it! PawsVip is trustworthy, clean, and exceed my expectations on daycare/boarding facilities . Not to mention the staff are Amazing! I’ve never had to worry about my fur baby while she’s in their care .
The only place I trust to watch over my baby girl Maya. She is a hard one to earn over and she really enjoys her days and boarding there. Highly recommend!
We love PawsVIP. Everyone is super friendly and professional and always treat my pup excellent when she stays for boarding. Highly recommended ! One thing that would be awesome though is if they had some sort of customer loyalty program
I have a poodle called Sasha and I always take her over there! I love it. I always had problems finding a place that I trust but in this place I feel so comfortable. They treat my baby so well! I recommend it to everyone!
I picked up my dog from boarding. He was very happy. The staff is amazing, the facility is so big and very clean. I recommend them to everybody. You won’t regret it ! Thank you so much for taking care of my baby
I could not be happier with the exceptional experience I've had at PawsVIP. They really care about the well-being of each and every dog that goes there. My dog absolutely loves all the people there. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place they always treat my pup as their own. PawsVIP is the perfect place for your pup and I highly recommend it! Special thanks to Simmy, Bora, and the rest of the PawsVIP team!
This is the only place we board our two adopted dogs. We found Paws VIP for our older pups who is dangerously afraid of fireworks and loud noises. Being near the airport they aren't allowed and its the only place he feels safe on holidays like 4th of July. When we adopted our second dog the great things about Paws VIP continued. She gets anxious when she's not near our other dog so their sibling boarding option is perfect - and we get a discount! I recommend Paws VIP to all my fellow dog owners and will continue to bring our pups to their location for as long as we have them. Thank you for loving our dogs as much as we do!
I was nervous about leaving my energetic and playful pup, Max, in someone else's care, but from the moment we walked in the door, I knew we were in good hands. The staff was warm and welcoming, and they immediately made Max feel comfortable and at ease. The facility is clean, spacious, and well-organized, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. Simmy explained everything very well. Thankfully
We can’t say enough great things about the grooming salon. All of the girls are so sweet. Moto gets groomed by Sterling. He has a little anxiety going but she’s so patient with him. He loves going now! She listens to what I’d like to have done and offers suggestions. She works her magic every time! He’s a therapy dog at a nursing home and everyone loves all of his fun grooms. We recommend her to everyone we know!!
Camp Bow Wow-Silverdale does an awesome job. Manager Mel is awesome and so is the staff! They know our dog by her name (Savannah). Our dog loves staying there for day visits or over night visits. Totally recommend them.
Sirius LOVES his pack at Camp Bow Wow! The staff are so kind and wonderful with him for both daycare and boarding, the grooming services are fantastic, and pricing is very reasonable. As an anxious dog mom, I deeply appreciate the staff's communication and the care they take to ensure all doggos are a good fit for camp and the camera feed so I can check in every once in a while. Sirius has been going to camp since he was a little puppy in the small dog yard, and whenever we ask him if he wants to go to camp, the lab zoomie energy is off the charts. He comes home exhausted but happy, the best puppy combo! Thank you Camp Bow Wow!
We enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the staff at Camp Bow Wow and how accommodating they are to our dogs and their needs. Our dogs enjoy their stays at Camp, whether it is daycare or boarding and over the past two years, we haven't experienced an issue with any of their stays with other dogs or staff. Their team takes the time and needs of each camper into consideration when they "enroll" them at camp, ensuring everyone will have safe and pleasant stays. We appreciate all that you do!
The staff is friendly and helpful! It’s obvious they love working with dogs! They take great care of our dogs special needs! Our dogs are always excited to go to camp!
My dogs enjoyed their day and night at camp. There were happy wagging tails whenever I checked the cameras in the play area. It is so nice to have a safe, clean, well run facility to leave my girls. Last minute Reservations were easy to make. The front dest was helpful and friendly.
We use camp bow wow for both day care and boarding. She is always happy to be there, and we like that she gets lots of supervised socialization. It is nice to be able to watch her on their webcam. Staff is great and you can tell they are very fond of the dogs they care for.
This was oasis first professional groom (before and after pics). She smells so good and looks so cute! She is a 60lb golden doodle and it cost $135 for all the fixings. It was so worth the price! I will definitely be coming back. The ladies that work there are so sweet! They said she did so good for her first time even when it came down to grinding her crusty toenails lol!
I love the setup of this doggie daycare. It’s a safe place where my dog Charlie to meet and play with other nice dogs 😊 …
The front desk employee did a good job multi tasking, helpful. The staff as a whole is wonderful. I'll be boarding my pup pretty soon and I feel good about leaving him there. 😀 …
Fantastic Dog & Cat Sitting has been a wonderful partner in caring for our two cats, when we need to leave the area for a few days, or occasionally for a week or two. Dan is professional, coming to our home to meet us and our cats initially. We had a quick conversation, viewed the space and gave the specifics of their routine. He noted information for their emergency vet contacts, and where all supplies are located. If Dan has been booked when we were seeking a sitting date, he has a great team to reach out to, who've been able to help out in his place. Lynn sat for us recently, and did a great job. We feel lucky to have been able to rest easy, while our cats are being cared for by FDCS. It can be a big upheaval for pets, to have their humans gone for days. And so, to know that they're being cared for kindly by someone familiar, that seems ideal. This service is highly recommended!
I’ve relied on Dan to take care of my cat, Milo, when I travel. He does a great job of feeding and checking up to make sure Milo is taken care of while I’m gone. He even gives Milo his asthma medication using a special cat nebulizer. One thing I especially like about Dan is that the first time I used him, he came over to my house to meet the cat, made sure he knew which vet I used, and asked for emergency contacts. I’m glad I use Fantastic Dog and Cat Sitting Service and enthusiastically recommend him.
We've been working with Fantastic Dog & Cat Sitting for several years and recommend them highly! They're incredibly conscientious and responsive, and we know our three cats will be well cared for when we travel. 5 stars!!
Dan is reliable and consistently available. He has always called if any issues have occurred. We have appreciated his care of our two cats.
Dan, and Jeff, have taken impeccable care of my cat over the past 5 years. I got referred to them through my landlord who had used Dan’s services before. Always professional, very reliable, clear communication, and my cat loves Jeff. As most pet owners feel their fur babies are the most precious and special, it takes a lot of trust to leave their care in someone else’s hands. I’d also get photos and updates during care visits, which made me feel really good. I absolutely trust and recommend wholeheartedly, Dan and his team for the quality of care my pet and I received knowing my fur baby was in the best of hands! Thank you Dan and Jeff!
I have been using Dan’s pet sitting services for years! Dan is really personable, prompt, and professional. His staff care about our pets and we can leave town without worry. Jeff (one of Dan’s employees) has had a key to our home since 2018! Your pets will be loved and cared for. Jeff even picks up our mail and is happy to water our plants. Can’t recommend Dan and his team enough!
Dan has been "fantastic" with taking care of my cats when I have to be out of town. He's taken great care of my older cat who needs insulin shots, successfully dealt with the younger ones who don't really like people they don't know, and has been able to make space for me on short notice when last-minute trips have come up. He's even cleaned up messes that have occurred while I'm gone. Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a quality and caring cat (or dog) sitter!
Dan does a great job!! We have two cats he has sat multiple times. One requires daily doses of insulin.
This is a wonderful service! When I made my first inquiry, Dan responded within a very short period of time. I was pleased because often responses are delayed for a while. I met both Dan and Jeff ( who would be taking care of my cats) and was impressed by their professionalism as well as compassion for pets. While I was away for 10 days, Jeff kept in touch with all his cat reports. When I came back, my place was tidied up and my cats were relaxed. I highly recommend Dan and Jeff!
Dan is wonderful; I’m so grateful when he cares for my cat! He is reliable, always responds quickly, and is respectful of my home. He clearly loves animals and is gentle and kind with my cat. I don’t worry when I have to be away, because I know that Dan is taking fantastic care of my cat!
Great place to take your fur baby when you’re at work for the day or going on vacation and can’t bring them with you, this way you know they’re never alone and they get to play & make new friends. If your dog is boarding with them the employees will send you daily pupdates via email with pictures to let you know how they are doing and if there’s any complications. Everyone here is very friendly and can tell they really care about the animals and their well being.
While no other place would consider taking our reactive dog for boarding, the AMAZING staff at LDCD were extremely empathetic and sensitive and offered to have Austin over again and again to make him feel more comfortable and safe. They spent so much time with us and were so patient and reassuring. Thank you Jay, Jenny, Reese, Kylie and everyone in staff for truly loving dogs and accepting and supporting our anxious dog. You have helped him open up to people and calm down. Throughout the 3 weeks Austin spent at LDCD, the staff kept us updated many many many times. I appreciate all your hard work and kindness towards dogs and humans as well 🙏
Boarding overnight / day care: Dog injured. Nose and paw injured. He came in happy and left in pain. We will have to take him to the vet to do a full check up. After taking him home, he was not himself. He was hiding and still is as I am writing this. His nose is swollen and bleeding. Absolutely No communication about this at all. Might be the reason why they did not send me pictures or videos when requested. A lot of excuses for not sending any pictures to me, which seems like a cover up of the injury. I emailed and asked for pictures and videos after I dropped my dogs off. A hour later I called about pictures. 3 hours after that I called again and after a long while finally got one picture of one of my dogs. Then after almost a life time I got a picture of my other dog. But still no videos. I called again today for pictures, nothing was sent to me. All I got was a bunch of excuses regarding the injury (I understand dogs play rough, but the injury looks so serious), and not being able to send me pictures. I got a text after I got home about a refund for the baths for both of my dogs because my dogs smelled like pee and had stains and dirt all over them after their baths. Will never recommend this place. I question the cleanliness of this place, and everything else. I was told if anything happened they will give me a call. I guess not. Judging by the pee smell and stains after taking a bath, clearly the place is very dirty and doesn’t get cleaned up, my dog could have an infection. And to say my dog was snappy during bath time is just infuriating because my dog loves bath time. Still waiting on the videos and pictures I asked for… hopefully my dog is ok. And hopefully this provides an insight as to how this place runs. I hope no dogs have to experience what my dog had to experience coming here.
We were super nervous about doggy daycare because of how wild and high-energy our puppy is, but the folks at LDCD have always been so good with her, and patient even though she is jumpy and comes in the door screaming with excitement every time. They play with her and love on her all day long, and she comes home content and exhausted. It's great to know she's well taken care of when we have to board her as well, and being able to take advantage of their newer expanded hours and ability to do late pickup has been a lifesaver. Thank you all for being so good to our girl <3 She loves y'all so much!!
My little Velcro muffin cake trots right into Lazy Dog. She loves it and they know her by name when she comes in the door and let her know which of her pals are there. The team is first rate and I am grateful to have found LDCD!
Great staff and our dog loves it there. My only improvement suggestion would be on speeding up drop off and pick up. If there's a line, the wait can be 10-15 minutes, because each dog takes several minutes.
I can't say enough good things about Lazy Dog Crazy Dog! From the moment I contacted them, the staff was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of every dog that stays there. They kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my dog's stay, which was such a relief. I felt like they treated my dog like one of their own. Most importantly, my dog looked like he was having a good time and made friends (a rare moment for him). If you're looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog is absolutely the best choice!
I board my dog several times a year and I always trust Lazy Dog Crazy Dog - Ballard with her care. All the employees are so friendly and kind, and most important, our dog loves them. She can't wait to see her friends and get inside to play when we drop her off each time. Thank you, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog!
We love lazy dog! Our ball obsessed Sheepadoodle has the best time when she gets to spend the day with the other dogs and humans there. We have been taking here there since she was just a pup 4 years ago. We also use the boarding option whenever we have to leave her behind. We know she is well cared for and having lots of fun.
I am a first time dog owner and I was very apprehensive about bringing in my dog to a boarding facility. My dog is a rescue and very nervous around new people and new environments. Much to my delight, she has THRIVED at LDCD and has so much fun. It has even boosted her confidence. Since I adopted her as an adult dog and she was never kennel trained, I believe the no kennel approach made a big difference in her adjustment. I thought I would feel bad leaving her at a boarding facility but I know how much she loves it!
Holly and her team are just the best — we don’t know what we would do without Rocket Dog. We are huge worriers about our high energy dog and in the years we’ve been taking him to RD (for both daycare and boarding) we’ve never had anything less than an amazing experience. It’s become like a second home to him and he gets sooo excited when we tell him it’s time to go to “daycare!” We’re so grateful for this team of knowledgeable, caring, professional dog lovers!!
Love having a spot like this in the city with so much space for the pups to play. The vibe definitely is more like a “homestay” than most other spots which is great for my boys who dont do well in crated and cooped up!
I have been taking my dogs here for years and have always had a great experience. I trust Holly and her staff with my dogs 100%, I can go on vacation and not worry once because I know they’re well taken care of by a responsible caring business. I’ve sent multiple clients and friend to rocket dog, probably about 15 people, all of them have had really good experiences. 10/10 recommend rocket dog.
We LOVED Rocket Dog and trusted them 100% with our lab Quinn. Sadly we moved away from Seattle, but they were so good to her and she was always so excited for daycare. She has epilepsy and they took such great care of her so we didn’t have to worry when boarding her. I wouldn’t take her anywhere else in Seattle.
Excellent place to take your dog for daycare. We bring ours one a week just to get a long day of playtime and tire him out. He is so excited when we pull up to Rocket Dog, it's his favorite place! The employees are very knowledgeable and attentive to the dogs. Very clean and organized as well. Highly recommended!
We take our dog here for both daycare and overnight boarding and he loves it!
I love that rocket dog is off-leash and outdoor-based! They take trips to dog parks, daily. After 3 months with rocket dog, and I suddenly noticed that my shy little dog was running around with the pack and he knew how to swim. Amazing!!
Sweetie loves her play time at Rocket Dog care!!! Best doggie daycare around!!!!
Great team that recognizes us and more importantly our dog. We never worry knowing our puppy is safe and having fun during the day at Rocket Dog.
Cosmos favorite place in the whole world. I've never seen him be such a rude puppy trying to claw his way through the door to get in!
I can't say enough nice things about my experience with Metro Dog. My beloved doggo is dog reactive and can't be boarded, and my neighbor who used to watch her moved away. I was nervous to engage a drop in service for walks and feeding her on the rare times I'm away from her. I've had such nice experiences with Metro Dog, I can't believe I was so nervous. The Metro Dog staff has always gone above and beyond my expectations. They give updates, take great care of my dog, and they even wash her bowl and the containers from her food? They do more than I would even expect for drop in care, it's excellent value for a reasonable price. And needless to say I come home to a happy dog!
Wonderful caring folks who know how to make your puppy happy in your absence. They are highly trained, friendly and professional. They have reasonable rules for all dogs to have their vaccinations. The facility is clean and designed to keep your pup occupied. This is one of the best facilities I have come across and our dog Daisy loved her time here.
So I have not been to Metro Dog exactly but I did sit in on the Metro Dog staff's "Walks & Wags Pet First Aid" class and it was excellent. It was held out at Fleet Reserve Association Branch 310 in Silverdale, WA, was a ten hour course and really was completely worth it. It's a lot of information but I really thought that everyone did a really good job of keeping us attention deficit folks on track. I would definitely recommend to all who can make the trip!
I recently started using Metro Dog’s day care with my pup, it’s been a great experience so far. They have been great since trial day, and consistently through day care. My pup’s super excited at drop off and happy (and exhausted!) at pick up. I will consider Metro Dog for boarding services, too!
So if anyone has gone on vacation with a dog, you know that you are limited on what you can do. We decided that during our 19 day vacation we would have one day where the dog was in daycare so that we can visit places where a dog is not allowed. I have a 2.6lb 5 year old yorkie. (This is important.) I started 6 months ago trying to find a place for her for one day. It took me four (yes, four) different daycare that turned me down. Two would not take a dog of her size because she would be trampled, one said that they do not take out of state dogs, and the last stated that they are full. Thankfully the lady at this last one recommended Metro Dog. I am so glad she did. They were so nice and very sweet to her. They accommodated her and honestly evaluated how she is with her staff and other dogs. I would recommend them to anyone.
We've recently started daycare for our dog at Metro Dog and couldn't be happier with the location, team, and care. Our dog is excited each day at drop off and the team is super welcoming. Highly recommend!
I cannot begin to start how happy I am with Metro dog I was a new dog owner in April and very nervous about daycare. They were very reassuring, and with each day Harley spent at Metro dog her confidence began to increase. At first she was nervous too but now she is wagging her tail, and eager to go in every time we drop her off. She has boarded twice now and every time she comes home, she is clean happy and exhausted. Which is fantastic because we know she is having a great time playing with all her dog friends. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Metro Dog is a good facility with helpful staff. For our first day of dog daycare, they went through all the details and showed us the facility via cameras. They also took our dog’s food to feed him during the day and took care of play and rest time. We will surely take our pup for daycare/boarding here.
If I could leave negative stars I would. We left our dog with Metro Dog for 32 hours and we managed to have to take him to the vet for two separate issues the next day. 1) Our dog had a hot spot we were trying to have him avoid licking. We instructed staff to keep an eye out and if they were not able to stop him from licking to at least let us know if he was doing it. Staff did not notify us upon picking him up, nor stop him from licking, as we had to take him into the vet as the hot spot got infected. 2) Our dog also returned to our care with a limp. Upon examination it appeared that the skin on his paw pads was raw and torn up. The day we left him was extremely hot and I imagine the staff did not attempt to protect the dogs’ paw pads letting them run around. This is conjecture but, when we picked him up, we were not notified that anything was wrong, so we have to guess. The limping was clear as day. We tried to call them the next day to find out what happened, no answer. This is simply negligent. I truly hope this business gets investigated by the appropriate regulatory bodies to get them to clean their act up or to shut them down. Suffice it to say, please never leave your animal with these people. It’s not worth the risk.
My family and I were in desperate need of finding a boarding place for our dog. Metro Dog responded back after I wrote an inquiry to them and we set up a trial day. The staff have been great and our dog loves it so much that we keep bringing her back for daycare. Our dog comes back tired. At pick-up, the staff informs us that she had a great day playing with the other dogs. Will definitely keep bringing our dog to Metro Dog Daycare and utilize their boarding. Staff is superb and seems to be well-trained to deal with all types of dogs.
I’m really happy that we found Illahee Pet Cottage for our sweet little senior girls, Melina and Pearl. I am very particular about who cares for our dogs. Both of our dogs have medical issues and are pretty high maintenance with their medication schedule and handling, feeding requirements, and temperaments. Heather and Mikel are very loving towards our girls and do a great job at keeping up with their medical needs. We also really appreciate all of the pics and videos that Heather sends while our girls are staying there.
10/10 would recommend Illahee Pet Cottage! We have tried many many places around Kitsap and have been disappointed. Feels great to have found a place I feel good to drop my Corgi off and know he is in loving hands. He even smells BETTER than when I drop him off and dives out of the car to see Heather when we pull in! Simply the best !
Illahee pet cottage set the standards very high for dog boarding. My dog was thrilled at arrival, during his stay, and slept for a day straight because he had so much fun. Heather treats your dog with respect and she really loves taking care of the dogs. Why not have your best friend go on vacation when you go on vacation? This is the place!
Absolutely the best! I really appreciate that Heather takes time to send me pictures,videos and updates everyday! It gave me so much relief that I know my boy is having a great time. I'm very happy that I got to meet Heather and see how amazing she is with every dog under her care. I highly recommend this location to anyone who loves their dog to have a safe and fun time while Mom & Dad are busy :)
When we first contacted Pete he was super responsive and he was able to take King on July 4th weekend for boarding. As we did our research we realized this wasn’t a commercial place where they have a large amount of dogs which we really wanted for King We told him he had separation anxiety and said it wouldn’t be a problem. We also received updates from him throughout the day. Pete’s accommodation for late pick up was greatly appreciated since we were held up from our drive on the way to get him. Upon arrival, King looked super happy to see us, looked well rested and fine. Pete said he was a perfect dog and we really appreciate his words! We’ll definitely have Pete take care King for boarding and day care if needed. Thank you Pete!
Pete was an enormous help to us when I was having my baby. He was willing to have a flexible drop off time, and he even said that he would leave his phone on in case the baby came in the middle of the night. When it was time, my dog (who had never met him) instantly liked him and was happy to be left at his house. Pete sent pictures of my dog having a nice time, and seemed genuinely happy to have my dog stay with him. He even gave my dog a toy to take home with us! Pete's services were above and beyond what I was expecting, he treated us like friends even though we were strangers. I am so happy we found him, and I would absolutely recommend him!
We needed a place for our reactive dog to stay for the day while went for a hike on a trail with many other dogs. Pete was responsive & communicative and sent us many photos of our dog. Thank you so much!!
Pete does a good job at reasonable price. Very reliable and consistent. Plus allows late pickup which is useful for travelers like me.
Such an amazing and stress free experience! We were expecting and didn’t really know how to plan for dog boarding. When I called to inquiry, I was met with ease free info and assurance that they’ll work with us and completely understand. We have two bulldogs, and when we picked them up they were both in good spirits. One of our dogs is a lot to handle. They seemed to have no issues and were very understanding. So grateful for Seattle Dog Boarding and allowing us to focus on welcoming a new baby girl while our dogs were in good hands!
Absolutely the most inhumane and unprofessional doggy daycare. Lets just say we didn’t end up leaving our dog at Seattle Dog Boarding but they charged us for the entire booking. So be forewarned… They make you pay upfront with no tour of the facility; which hindsight all makes sense as if you saw the rundown house and the folks that live there you wouldn’t leave your dog there either. Pete wasn’t there when we showed up to drop off our dog. No one answered the door, so we called Pete hoping we were at the wrong location. He had to call a “roommate” to come to the door. By that time, we already decided that we weren’t going to leave our dog there and politely asked for our money back. The roommate said we needed to handle with Pete who finally texted us and said there are no refunds but we could book for another time. I can see Pete asking for us to pay for the first day and reimbursing us the remaining amount but no he outright refused.
So happy we found Pete and Seattle Dog Boarding to take care of our huge 7 month old puppy and our 15 year old dog. They are at such different stages in life and I never thought I would find someone to handle both of their needs. We just returned from a 10 day trip and both dogs were so well cared for and came home happy and healthy. The senior dog had space to chill and relax and the puppy had a blast playing with other dogs. Thanks you Pete and everyone at Seattle Dog Boarding for taking such great care of Cleo and Bear!
Worst doggy daycare experience of my life. Incredibly unprofessional and not to mention expensive, as a single day of daycare is $69 (which they make you pay up front with no tour of the "facility", which is just a rundown house). In addition, they don't make you provide proof of vaccinations. I dropped my dog off at the house. Pete wasn't there when I dropped her off, but his roommate was. This man didn't look like he should be around dogs. These dogs are our children, so if a man can't take care of himself then I'm not sure how I can trust him to take care of my dog. Incredibly unprofessional and off-putting. I knew in my gut something was off, so I returned 10 minutes later...she was alone in a house full of larger dogs she had never met before. There was zero staff inside. I had to call Pete so that he could find someone to return my dog to me. I waited 10 minutes for a "roommate" to emerge from behind the house took my dog and left immediately. This is an INCREDIBLY SHADEY place. It's dirty, disgusting, and probably a front.
They had my 1 1/2 year old Yellow Lab for six days and took excellent care of her. She is a hand full and a very busy girl. They keep her busy, they played with her and took her for daily walks. They even sent me pictures of her playing with other dogs in the program. I think they are great and I can fully recommend Seattle Dog Boarding as a good place to board your dog!
Our dog spent a night at Pete's house during a quick trip to Seattle where our regular boarding options back home weren't going to work out. Pete was very accommodating and our dog had a great time and made buddies with the other dogs. We would use Seattle Dog Boarding again.
