Cat Sitters in Port Hadlock Irondale, WA

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 dog - a senior Shih Tzu with heart disease, mammary cancer, thyroid cancer, Cushings disease and alopecia - looked like something that Animal Control had repeatedly tried and failed to catch. A real mess. But, the folks at The Dog and I took her on and, when she emerged, looked absolutely gorgeous, naked, but gorgeous. And her little tail was wagging and she was as happy as can be. Her groom was a big job. But they did a great job! Thanks so much! Highly recommended.

They do a great job of grooming my 2 Shih Tzus. Thank you!

Took my two dogs here today! I wasn’t sure what to expect. I gave them a call while sitting in the parking lot during a vet appt. Figured it was a convenient location. The owner called me promptly and scheduled an appt. The dogs were happy and the groom looks great! I appreciate the price and quality of service. I’ll definitely be back.

We have several pets & our vets are at Chimacum Valley Vet. On a particularly busy Friday, we came for an appt - however, there were no parking spaces. We waited at the entrance for ~10-15 minutes with our hazard signal on. When a vehicle was ready to pull out - we backed into a parking spot at ‘The Dog & I grooming’ for no longer than 1-2 minutes. Someone came out & asked us in a very annoyed tone if she could help us. Seriously; settle down!! We recognize that there must be parking issues here - but 1-2 minutes while letting someone exit a parking spot? Way to turn off a potential customer - egads!

I get the feeling this groomer could care less if she has your business or not. First time I had an appointment, I brought a list of my "wishes and desires" for my dog's first groom. She was quite annoyed that I had a list to begin with and rolled her eyes at me. I didn't think I was being too demanding, but apparently she thought so. She seemed very bothered, so I decided not to leave my dog with her that day. I wanted to give her a second chance, thinking maybe she was just having a bad day, and I really wanted to support local businesses, but it took her 3 days to even return my call, and by then I had already booked with PetCo (my dog really need a groom, and by that time I had no idea if she was even going to return my call). When she finally did call back, then she was bothered that I decided to go with PetCo. I told her I would definitely call her for the next appointment. So, I did that today. What am I told by Miss Cranky Dog Groomer? Your dog is too big for me to handle. What? My dog is 40 lbs. I will NEVER call her again or give her my business.

Great diy dog bath facility, all shampoo and towels included. The only reason for 4 stars is I wasn't told about free dog wash after ?? Many paid for visits, have been throwing receipt away.

These ladies did a great job taking care of my dog while I was out of the country for over a month. They even gave her a bath to come home! Highly recommended!!

Previous review: :Friendly neighborhood groomer" Sorry to say that I have to change this review to "unfriendly groomer". On my last several visits the owner was very gruff. I don't know if she has an unhappy life, but she was not pleasant. On another occasion, her husband yelled at me for parking in the parking lot and taking my dogs for a walk on a nearby trail. I understand them not wanting hikers to use up their parking lot, but I was taking my dogs for a pee before we went into their establishment. Politeness to people with dogs would be a good policy for a dog grooming service, I'd think. Not going back.

They were so kind and gentle with my fur baby who has abandonment issues! The atmosphere is very calm which helped!

Our fur babies came home looking wonderful. They followed our instructions to a T. We have a special needs rescue dog and we are grateful for their special care

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My dogs, Olly and Hank, recently joined the Big Valley family, and they’re already loving it! They’ve made tons of new friends (both human and furry!) and always come home happily exhausted. As a Border Collie mix and an Australian Shepherd, they have boundless energy, so finding a place where they can play all day and burn it off has been perfect. We couldn’t be happier with Big Valley!

Big Valley is the best by far! They are always so excited to see my dog Honey. They all give her so much love and attention. I know the staff will always go above and beyond to make sure she is safe, happy, and healthy.

My dog Oba has been part of Big Valleys family for a little over 4 years. He gets Boarded and groomed at Big valley and he absolutely loves going there and it is the best feeling knowing that your dog is getting the best care, love and attention while he is in there care! Thank you!

My dog Cooper loves this place, and he's pretty picky, so I love it when he feels just as comfortable being there as I feel dropping him off. I know he's well-cared for. We love Big Valley Pet Resort!

BVPR is outstanding! Our dog loves to spend the day at day care, and the boarding care is exceptional as well. We also use the grooming services for our standard poodle, and know she is getting treated kindly along with the bath, dry, trim etc. The staff is very friendly and recognizes us every time. They are very careful with the dogs at play time, so you’ll relax while your pet is visiting.

Absolutely love Big Valley Pet Resort! The entire staff is friendly, facility is super clean and I know my pups are safe and loved when I leave them. We’ve been clients for several years (day care, grooming and kennel) and highly recommend all the services they provide.

My dogs love going to Big Valley Pet Resort for occasional boarding. The staff are incredible so Mac and Annie get exceptional care including supervised play time with other dogs. Their grooming services are great as well.

Big Valley is the best! My pup Pippin loves it here so much that it’s hard bringing him home cause he doesn’t want to leave 😂 I broke my leg last June and they were seriously AMAZING and so accommodating too. Couldn’t recommend this place more …

I can not say enough Good Things about Big Valley Pet Resort.♥️♥️ Our boy “Bobby” a year old Golden Retriever loaded with sooooo much energy. He gets so excited when we tell him he is going to school!!! He gets to play with his dog family and even learn good dog manners and new words. He comes home ready for a before dinner nap. My husband and I are in our mid 70’s and really can’t run and play with him as we know he needs. Thankfully BVPR helps us with this. Bobby goes at least one day a week but often 2. He loves ALL the people who work there. WE SO APPRECIATE all the wonderful people, the advice and Great Care they have for ALL THE PETS in there care!!!! YOU AND YOUR PETS WILL♥️♥️♥️ Big Valley Pet Resort😊😊😊

We've been struggling to find a groomer who could take care of our little dog as he has behavioral issues and we're pleasantly surprised how great this groomer is. She took care of our little guy and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. I'll definitely be bringing all of our dogs in

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!

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.

Best pet sitters around!

The Bed and Biscuit is the best facility I’ve ever brought my dog to. Kelly is so thoughtful, attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. We’ve brought our Doberman here many times and knowing he’s in such good hands while he’s away from us is everything. We’re moving off the island soon and will still be making the trip back to board him when we need it because we love it that much. Thank you, Kelly!!

Kelly is the best! Our dog loves staying here. Good daily structure and accommodations for the pups are above and beyond any other places we've tried for overnight boarding!

So clean and orderly, leaving family dog here felt very secure and confident. Drop off and pick up is a bit restrictive but it does benefit operations and certainly the dogs. Recommend this place and will certainly be using services here again.

My dog Maisie ran in without looking back, and was sad to leave when we picked her up. Kelly the owner is great though is often busy with the dogs so keep that in mind when you are contacting her. She cares for all the pups and our young dog had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be coming back when we need boarding!

I moved to Whidbey Island 6 years ago and I immediately found Bed & Biscuit! Kelly is amazing with dogs and my Bella loves to stay there. So much so, that's sometimes she is not ready to come home! Kelly creates a safe environment, so I know that Bella is in great hands. I have boarded her for a few days to as long as a month. And I love that I can leave her with no worries! Kelly has been a lifesaver and helped me create less stress when I need to travel. We love Bed & Biscuit! ❤️

Can’t brag enough about the care and safety Kelly provides! Of course for my pup but for me too! Her attention to detail and clean facility have my Barkley so happy when I pick him up. He’d rather stay with Kelly.

My dog Polly is like my child. So I was very worried when I had to leave her. After touring Whidbey Bed and Biscuit I was so relieved because I knew she would be in good hands. Whidbey Bed and Biscuit is the only place I trust to care for Polly. It's clean with beautifully fenced yards and an immaculately kept house. Kelly treats Polly like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Whidbey Bed and Biscuit to anyone looking for excellent dog care.

Would not suggest this kennel owner. Very poor customer service. We accidentally wrote down the wrong time for the meet and greet. We showed up 25 after our meeting time (what we thought was 5 minutes early). Owner said, “you were not here on time, someone else called and I gave your reservation away. She never called to check to see if we were on the way. Horrible experience- I wouldn’t leave my dogs with her.

will NEVER bring our dog here again. not only was the lady/owner SO rude to demand my mother and another customer off the patio/porch area (when they were picking their pups up) in such a rude and disrespectful manner, our dog came out looking exhausted and weak and with a SORE spot. never bring your furry friends here. terrible service. very angry.

Our dogs just had a great time with the other dogs. Very nice facility and owner. We will definitely go back!

Amazing experience. We brought our dog for the first time to any day care here and they were amazing. They knew to slowly introduce him and even asked about a history of aggression. They met us at the hat at the end of the day it was an amazing experience. We would 100% recommend them again.

My very clingy dog went here and she’s been so social and seeks out other dogs now. Can’t believe the change in my 5 year old dog! Thank you 💜 …

We have a malamute that can be picky about who he trusts. He loves the ladies at all my friends. We travel a couple times a year and he's slant have any anxiety over going to boarding. We started using all my friends nearly 10 years ago with a different dog who had since passed away and we have had the most amazing experience with them. I would highly recommend them.

Best dog boarding facility EVER. We're very picky (and Ricochet is even more demanding) and all my friends exceeded our highest expectations. Two thumbs way up.

Great place to have watch your pets. We have a mid-sized dog and she had a blast there. Very friendly people we interacted with and a fair price. Flat rate that includes everything an active pup needs. 🐶 We will definitely be taking her back there when she can't come with us.

All My Friends was our go to for years. We were sad that all of our dogs got kennel cough on their last two visits, so we are in the market for a new place. Recognize it's not uncommon that dogs pick this up at boarding places, but there was no follow up, care or concern. Such a bummer, our pups were super happy here!

Recently, I had my three dogs stay here. I can’t say enough good things about how well they were treated and how attentive they were to our dogs particular needs. When I called to check on them, they were responsive in providing me a status update and to inform me that they were doing fine. The ladies here have a passion for taking care of our fur family and I would not use anyone else. Highly recommended! Excellent with our dogs and I feel very comfortable when I go out of town and leave our dogs in their second home.

My dog loves this place, it's like he gets his own little vacation when I have to go out of town. There is something for everyone. They have multiple giant yards for the dogs to run and play in, an in ground pool for them to swim in during the summer months, plenty of toys and TVs with animal planet in front of big couches. The staff are very nice and accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable. The only downside (for me) is the long drive since it's pretty far north from Seattle, as it usually takes me 45+ min to get there. All in all, highly recommend, especially if you're going out of town for several days.

Would not reccomend this place!! We took our dog here for an overnight trial before booking a 10 day stay and thank goodness we did a trial because when we got home he ran over to his water bowl and drank the entire thing like he hadn't had water the whole time. Then we noticed that he had deep scratches on the insides of both his thighs and a cut on his nose. Not to mention he was filthy after just 1 day. None of this was mentioned to us when we picked him up and after noticing the scratches at home, my husband called them and left a message ( it was also a pain communicating with them ahead of time and they do not answer their phone or email) and they have yet to respond several days later. Very unprofessional and I will never take my baby back there and would reccomend everyone else do the same. they are clearly not monitoring the dogs like they should be and not communicating with customers the way I would expect any business to.

We love this place and so does our dog! We left her there for 4 days and she didn't want to leave when we came to get her! The folks there were super nice and made us feel good about leaving her. The property and dog house are great and the dogs get loooots of play time. They even surprised us with a CD of photos of Ruby playing when we came to get her.
