Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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
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, $13/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!
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.
This place is just amazing. My dog loves going to day camp at Adventure Trails. I know she is safe with the staff/team when I drop her off. With the trails and acres of supervised play she comes home happy and tired. She gets something there that I can't give her, a pack of dogs to be around! I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a special place for their dogs to hang out.
We absolutely love ATDC. Kristy and the staff are just amazing, and our pup, River, loves playing with her friends and running around with them in nature. She comes home happy and tired. We love that they send out newsletters with helpful information and monthly news. It’s also great to see pictures posted daily on Facebook. I love that I get to see her having a blast with her friends. It’s comforting to know she’s in great hands and cared for.
Our Gibbs has been going to Adventure Trails for around 3 years now and it's like they designed the camp with him in mind. This is his 3rd daycare that he has been too and the happiest we have seen him. The staff is the best and they really know each dogs personality which as a dog Mom is appreciated that he's not just another dog. They also post the best pictures and funny stories on Facebook and the Monthly Newsletter.
We started our Golden Retriever, Tweety, at camp in June 2023 when she was about 10 months old. My husband was deployed and I started working a new full-time job which made managing an adolescent dog difficult to say the least. Adventure Trails was an absolute life saver. If she spends a full day there, she will sleep for about two whole days. We now send her at least two times a week and it will be one of our biggest losses when we have to move. Tweety can hardly contain her excitement when she arrives. There is nothing else like it for dogs who love to socialize and be outside. You can feel confident that your dog is cared for all day and having so much fun. The staff periodically posts photos and videos throughout each day so you can see what your pup is up to! We feel so lucky to have something like this in our area.
Awesome staff that really cares about taking care of your dog. They also offer amazing training classes to help get you and your pet on the same page. They even have structures for the dogs to play on!
Adventure Trails is one of the best dog facilities I have ever used. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming and they all have great senses of humor and compassion with the pets and their owners too. My extra large dog gets the exercise and the socialization skills necessary to keep him happy and calm. I highly recommend this camp for anyone looking for a fun place to have their pet play and be loved by many! Dog training classes are also available by Kristy. They are helpful and beneficial to both owner and pet.
If you had your best friend or family member caring for your dog then ADD all kinds of exercise, enrichment and pack fun… you have Adventure Trails. My dogs never achieve the zen, complete relaxing rest without going to camp. When your dogs cannot WAIT to get there and don’t want to leave at pick up, you know you have found a unique, magical gift you can give them every day. Adventure Trails is amazing.
Adventure Trails Dog Camp is a terrific asset for dog owners on Whidbey; especially for newbie dog owners of puppies and dogs that need training. Kristy has a kind approach when it comes to training canines but more importantly the dog owners that need to be trained as well! She's encouraging and patient for those who take a bit longer to get the hang of things. Absolutely recommend!
My Weimer Shanti and I absolutely love Adventure Trails Dog Camp! We had heard many good recomendations before we started going there. Since then we have met so many people who are taking or have taken their dog to Adventure Trails. The look in their eyes have a happy, loving glow when speaking of taking their pets to the camp. The same goes for the doggies we see when coming or going to camp.This is a very unique place! The staff are outstanding and come from very well educational backgrounds. My pup learns so much, is treated so well and entertained the whole time she is there. The owner, Kristy is has a very gentle soul and understanding heart, She is so perfect and has this sixth sense with all the dogs. Our dogs (and of course us) are truly fortunate to have Adventure Trails in our life.
My dogs absolutely love this place. They come home happy and tired after a full day. The staff keeps them active so they are ready to sleep the evening away
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.
Claudia took very good care of my dog. She is great at communicating each day about how my dog was getting along with others and how she was doing overall. The daily photos show a very happy dog.
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!
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.
Our go-to place to board our 2 Scotties. They built the building with separate areas for dogs & cats. Very caring and dedicated Staff. Senior discount for stays more than 6 nights.
Beautiful, peaceful setting for a walk in the woods with my fur baby.
The staff was very welcoming. I have never boarded my dog before and the moment I walked in everyone was giving my girl so much love and attention I felt at ease. It’s very clean I lover pulling up to the red barn and green fields. This is a very comfortable space.
Writing this review to hopefully help others because we were completely blindsided. THIS PLACE IS FAR FROM A RESORT!!! I did some research and Dogwood came recommended by others in the area. Looking at their website, I didn’t think it would be a traditional kennel, and that’s what they advertise. We went for a tour and I was appalled. I guess I didn’t do enough research because after reading some other reviews just now, I likely would have never set foot in this facility. Just looking at this the owner has responded to some negative reviews is very telling. I can’t imagine how these employees treat the pets staying here. First, the staff member who led the tour was far from friendly. She didn’t seem like someone who would give my dog any love or attention. If you go to the website and read the history, you’ll see that they opened this business to not be like other kennels. They state “some kennels are dark, windowless buildings with poor ventilation, cold floors, and low ceilings.” Upon entering the kennel, everything about that statement was true about Dogwood. The smell of urine could be smelt through a mask. The kennel area was extremely claustrophobic. Sure there are a few windows way up high, but overall it was dark and felt like a depressing animal shelter. They only let your dog out of the kennel twice a day for ten minutes. If you would like your dog to be let out more, you can pay to do so. Reading other reviews, this place charges for every little “upgrade” that seem like normal parts of our dog’s lives. To me, it was clear this place was just there to make money. I didn’t get the sense from the atmosphere or the employee that they would care at all for my dog. If you are looking for a place that would love and care for your dog, save yourself the time and don’t bother with Dogwood.
Deserve zero stars. Picked my dogs up after 4 days of boarding. They handed me back over 3/4 of the food I had given them. My smaller dog's face looked sunken in. Took them home bathed them then weighed them. Smaller dog had lost 10# and larger dog had lost 8#. They claimed they fed them twice per day, impossible considering how much food was returned and weight loss. Gave them enough food for those 4 days and like I said over 3/4 was returned. I've read other reviews that state they only let the boarded dogs out twice per day. After this stay I would wager a bet that they only see them once per day period. Feed them, let them out and see-ya tomorrow. I have large dogs that require 4 cups of food per day and they were given closer to 1.5 cups per day. If you love your dogs do NOT leave them in their care.
So clean and a great talented staff. They really know what they're doing here and your dogs and cats will be well taken care of, highly recommended!!
I used the Dogwood for years when I lived on Whidbey Island. This place is truly special and provides amazing care for furry friends. Every time I'd round the corner and head down the street toward the Dogwood my dog would get so excited! He absolutely loved it there. He required multiple medications and treatments and the staff always made sure he was well taken care of. He always came home exhausted and happy. Thank you to everyone at the Dogwood (especially you, Colleen) who made the time my friend spent on the island magical. He has since passed over the rainbow bridge but I am happy he was able to spend so many wonderful years visiting this place. Thank you to all the staff who make this place what it is.
We’ve been taking our sweet Stormy girl to Dogwood about every other month for the past six months for 5-10 days at a time. She’s had the best of time there. She’s always excited when we pull up and they are always happy to greet her when she comes in. Everything has been very straight forward and our dog has been very well cared for. This is a big deal not only to myself but my kids to knowing that she’s in good hands!♥️
Please reconsider taking ANY pet here!!! You may have the belief your pet will be safe, happy and well cared for, but that couldn't be further from the truth!! These animals are left unattended in cement cages for 14 hours a day, 5PM to 8AM. They may get an outside break for a total of 20 minutes a day, at times this doesn't happen as the staff may "run out of time" keep in mind they will NEVER miss a smoke break. There is constant barking and loud noises throughout the day, aggressive dogs are not muzzled and certain dogs who are visibly shaking are not given extra attention or care for their fear and anxiety. Additionally, when a well intending person pays extra $ for their pet to receive extra playtime, it will be too much of a burden for the staff, yet it gets marked down as a provided service. Please consider leaving your dog in its known environment and hire a person to check on and actually care for your pet. I have personally used WAG before and I have had great success.
I should have read more of these reviews. We took our pup there twice to be socialized, both times he came home stressed and nauseous not having spent any time with other dogs and the excuse of "maybe next time." I want to believe they are spending time with my pup but suspect he's spending the day stressing in a kennel, taken out only occasionally to relieve himself. There won't be a "maybe next time." Not a good fit for us and if you want your dog socialized I recomend you look elsewhere as well.
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!
They have a terrible pricing policy that no one at the facility was able to properly give me an explanation for. We had our dog boarded overnight, which is $60 and they must be picked up by 11am the next day. We would not be able to pick him up until later in the afternoon though so we asked to just have the "day care" for the following day. However, instead of charging us for the day care/ boarding ($35) they insisted we must be charged for $60 - another full overnight boarding. They insisted we must be there in person by 11am to switch him to day boarding if we did not want to paybthe $60. Which would obviously defeat the purpose. They tried to say "it's like a hotel". This makes no sense though. A hotel doesn't offer a service of a lower price to just use the facility for the day without a room for the night. You do though. It's one of your primary services. This is a terrible policy and it makes absolutely no sense. It's only purpose is to squeeze more money out of their clients. We will not be returning.
I take my German pup here a LOT! My family and I have to commute to ours jobs (because ofc we do) so this place is a great place to have your dog run around and be free with other dogs! They take good care of my pup and he always seems happy when we walk in so this is obviously a 5-star no brainer!
My Golden Retriever, Honey, has been going to doggy daycare at Camano Island Kennels for over 2 years. She LOVES going there! Excellent facility and staff. Bravo!
I have boarded my Pom Reeses here twice so far and I will continue to do so when I go out of town. The staff is polite and friendly and they have always answered any questions I may have. I love the fact that pictures are posted on Facebook so I can see Reeses when I am gone. I would not hesitate to recommend this kennel to anyone who needs to board their dog.
Dropped my dogs off for boarding here at this facility for the first time. Upon pickup- they were absolutely filthy and smelled like urine- as did their materials we dropped off and the whole lobby smelled like urine as well. I can understand the dogs being a bit dirtier due to playing outside- but I was surprised how dirty they were and the urine! We had to pay for them to be groomed at our regular groomer once we got back in town. Additionally, my dog woke up his first night back with projectile vomiting and diarrhea. It’s disappointing, won’t be returning.
DO NOT GO TO THIS KENNEL One month follow up at bottom I dropped my three sight hounds off for a seven day visit at this kennel. When I went to pick them up there were infected sores on two of my dogs legs. The staff at the kennel when checking the dogs out all mentioned, "they had not seen the sores." After discussion with the owners they came off as unapologetic towards the well being of our dogs. The individual doing their veterinary care said, "this does look infected," to the sore on one of the dogs legs. Another one of the owners said, "just put a spray on it." I video chatted with our veterinarian and he informed us that the sores are directly related to laying on a hard surface and uncleanliness or a cleaning agent affecting the skin. I returned to the kennel to receive a copy of the contract that is signed when dropping off the dogs. At this time the same gentleman from before came out, didn't catch his name, and began to have an altercation with me. This is the same person that had said, "I did not know about the sores," with our first encounter now changed his story to, "they had the sores when they got here." This is absolutely not the case, all three dogs had their annual health check three days prior to being checked into this kennel. His final words to me were, "get off my property." This is the response I got to the care given to my hounds and the cleanliness of the kennel during their stay. So, long story short, DO NOT, under any circumstances take your dogs to this kennel. If something were to occur they will be defensive, unapologetic, have no accountability, and management is unprofessional. Here are a few photos of the wounds my dogs now have on their legs. One month follow up- After multiple vet visits, and continued issues with the wounds on my dogs legs they are finally coming around to good health. Following the confrontation with the gentleman at the kennel and the “vet tech” at the kennel claiming my dogs had these wounds when they arrived, I was able to find on the kennels social media photos of my dogs. In one photo you can see there is no wound or swelling in the joint on the dogs leg. This photo is from “5days ago,” on Instagram when I took the photos. Then on a post that shows “5 hours ago,” you can see the swelling in the joint on the dog. I have attached these photos. I would continue to encourage people to not go to this kennel under any circumstances. The temperament change that my dogs had and have taken to recover from over the past month was awful as well as the health issues on their skin and wounds on their legs. Protect your pet and yourself from this place and never go.
We had a very pleasant experience here. We visited a couple others, and this establishment was bright, clean, open enclosure so the dogs didn't feel alone. In sure they also have more private options for dogs that don't want to socialize. They have a large outdoor exercise yard that is grass and plenty of room. I would definitely use again if we needed to kennel again.
Feels petty to be charged a full days rate per dog for showing up an hour and 45 min past their 11am pick up time...after they've spent over 18 days this month and been charged 1800$ wish they would have communicated that I would be charged 110$ for being an hour and 45 min late. Zero communication
My pup has been going to this kennel since she was very young and every experience has been positive and encouraging. She’s there about 3 times a week for play and socialization. The staff have been excellent and constantly provide feedback on her daily experiences. I highly recommend this kennel to anyone looking for a fun and safe environment for their pet.
Great place to let my dog play with other dogs she always has fun. As you can see how happy she is
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!
This business is an absolute blessing. My dog loves the daycare and is always excited when I tell her she’ll be going. The home environment for boarding makes it a good experience for dogs and cats alike, since they are staying in homey spaces rather than institutional kennels. All the staff are lovely people. Finally, the location and especially the entry garden are just stunning. It’s a beautiful place with good heart.
I reached out to All Critter Pet Care & Training to get some help with training my new pup alongside the dog I've had for a few years. I did the 5 week training plan and it helped a TON. Karry was excellent. I loved how straightforward she was. After training, we decided to put my youngest pup, Penny, into daycare weekly. Penny absolutely LOVES daycare! When I pull into the driveway she knows she's about to have a good day. She can't get through the door fast enough. It makes me feel good knowing that I'm leaving my girl in a place where she genuinely wants to be, and a place that I know she'll be safe (the dogs are never left unattended). Penny has a regular schedule, but she also goes on some other as-needed days. We don't know what we will do when we have to move :(
Highly recommend All Critter Pet Care! I know my puppy is well taken care of, getting good exercise and the socialization she needs. She loves to go play with her friends, and when she gets home she sleeps. She is better behaved at home as well. It’s awesome!
We loved training with Karry! We had a hard case with our pup and I can't properly express how much of a comfort she was with her knowledge. Karry really focused on training my husband and I on dog language so we could understand her better. This not only helped with training, but also helped all of our relationship in general. We really needed one on one training with our dog and we believe we made the right choice with choosing Karry. 10/10 recommend
Karry is so knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Even my pupp loved her. We'll be taking our rescue to her when his health gets under control.
Karry is an incredibly knowledgeable and gifted trainer. Duke, my Frenchie Boston mix, was highly reactive to other dogs and even nipping at my kids. I was at the end of my rope when I brought him to Karry. She gave me so much great information, and even more importantly, so much hands-on training. She showed me how to interact with Duke to help him behave. In 8 weeks, Duke has transformed. His reactivity to other dogs has decreased significantly and he is more polite in his interactions with people. Today, he passed his final test with flying colors. I would highly recommend Karry for any behavioral issues or training in general.
Karry Brooks is hands down the best dog trainer on the island. She doesn’t just show you basic commands and send you on your way. She helps you understand your dog and the way they process everything. She teaches you (as a human) patience, understanding, and the proper correction techniques. As a dog owner of a very reactive dog, I’ve learned to understand his needs and boundaries. Karry has, not only, transformed me as a dog owner, but has helped Dexter grow into a secure and confident dog. If you feel like you’ve lost any hope in training your dog, please see Karry before anything else. She can transform the bond between you and your pup as long as you’re willing to put in the work!
Karry was a great help to our military family. She is knowledgeable in the behavior of dogs and because of her advice we were able to get our dog on anxiety medication. If we still lived in the area we would use her services forever.
Karry is AWESOME! We LOVE All Critter Pet Care & Training LLC! Our rescue pup, Archie, continues to learn and thrive with training and gets his social time with other great dogs at day care. :)
I would like to say that I haven't even started training my dog with her yet. We simply did an evaluation. I just can not say enough at how happy I was to have my dog meet Karry. She helped me with a lot of training tips. And she quoted fairly about the prices of her service. She was super patient with all of my questions.. And my dog who has very little training (since I just got him.)
Our poodle has stayed there four times and we are well satisfied with the are and facilities. We have full confidence in Jane's management.
My dog is five years old and had never been boarded. She generally stays with family. She did not love being boarded, but she was safe and well taken care of. There is ample exercise time and doggie playtime is supervised. She was just getting used to it and making friends when we picked her up. We will slowly get her used to it.
Jane is wonderful, generous, kind woman who goes out of her way for her furry clients as well as their pet parents! We will be return customers.
Jane has been our go-to for pet care for years and through 2 dogs. She's experienced, caring, and both of our our dogs have loved her. We make the drive from the Kitsap Peninsula. Her care for our pup is that good!
I got to drop my friend's precious puppy (ok he's a dog) here while she was in the hospital and Jane was so nice and helpful with the care of my friend's dog that it relieved a lot of stress on my friend! When I picked the dog back up he was happy and healthy and well taken care of.
Jane has been taking care of our labs when we travel for the last 15 years. She is wonderful and our dogs have always loved visiting her.
We came from Tacoma and looked up on Google. Called and talked to Jane and felt very comfortable with her. Left Jenny for daycare the next day.. ...she was just fine with her stay. We will go back when we need doggie daycare.
Cozy Care has been a great choice for boarding our Yorkie-Poo, Lucy. She gets personal attention & care, exercise and comfortable residence. We love knowing she has a good place when we have to board her.
Jane provides a safe environment for my dog. I always know he is receiving wonderful care.
Very good experience for us and our furry babies. Staff was very kind and helpful, the pups were very well cared for. Highly recommend!
We have been taking our dog to Dog Townsend for over a year now, and we couldn't be happier with the care and attention our fur-baby receives! The staff at Dog Townsend is incredibly kind and thoughtful, always going the extra mile to ensure that every dog feels loved and safe. Our dog absolutely adores her time there and comes home happy and tired from all the fun. We truly appreciate the dedication and love the team at Dog Townsend shows, making it a fantastic place for any dog. Highly recommend!
Best place to take your dog for daycare and overnight stays. The staff are super friendly and all are super caring for our pets. A bonus is the daily report cards that let you keep up with all of the adventures. Highly recommended reading!
I like everything about this business. They give thoughtful and caring feedback, and my dog enjoys their time there. I won't leave my dog with just any one, I would highly recommend them a they really do care about your pets.
The folks at Dog Townsend really love dogs, and they're dog behavior experts. Before I could leave my dog there, she had to pass a test to prove that she would get along with the other dogs. This was a little stressful at the time when I was trying to make arrangements for a trip, but I appreciate it now because it's for the safety of the dogs. If you can, get your dog approved well before your trip so you don't have to worry about it. My dog has significant separation anxiety issues, but she also loves to play with other dogs. The first several visits were stressful for her, and the staff at Dog Townsend did their best to help her adjust, and also kept me appraised of her progress. Now, she gets excited whenever we arrive and truly enjoys her visits with the pack at Dog Townsend. It's so great to be able to leave on a trip and know that she's having a good time too.
Great place for doggy daycare or board our pup overnight when we travel. Folks there are friendly and accommodating. Our dog gets excited every time we turn into the driveway there.
This is the worry free place to take your dog. Our pooch loves it there, and the people and other pets are excellent. Very well managed.
5 star retreat for your precious pups while you go on a retreat. They go the extra mile to make sure your canine kids are taken care of...
Our dog always is overjoyed when we get closer to Dog Townsend;and happy going home. He has become more social.
My dogs love this place.. from day care to boarding their always happy when we roll up.
Just picked up my grand dogs but the staff were all friendly and he8
