Dog Sitters in Ayock, WA

Tina is the best! Great price, truly cares about animals and most important I know my Lola is safe with her.

Tina is the best and has an excellent approach for boarding our furry family! So organized! And so caring! She's certified for 1st aid and CPR. We are super happy to use her services for boarding. Also she walks and does home check-ins! We are using her for that too! She is our pet sitter and walker !

Tina keeps my dogs while I am out of town and takes such great care of them!! I love that they get time to socialize with other dogs their size and have lots of space to run and play!

Tina and Dave are amazing and we have been taking our dogs to them for years! They truly love what they do and it shows in how well our animals are cared for!

Tina loves all her guests and is such a positive and kind person.

Wonderful experience, will be returning! My dog Charlie was extremely well cared for and I even got updates during his stay. He came home healthy and happy unlike other places where he is stressed out when I pick him up. Really wonderful care for a good price. So glad we found Pawsably Home!

Cool place and Tina takes care of every pup like they were her own. Highly recommend Pawsably Home to anyone

I dont live in the area anymore, but when we lived there and had to leave our dog behind, it was ALWAYS with Tina @ Pawsably Home. The best care, treated like they were her own. Reasonable price. You wont be disappointed.

A warm loving setting where your pets are treated as if they family. Tina is very responsible and conscientious. I would trust even my human kids to her care.

Cooper loves coming here to stay and play with the other dogs. Tina always makes drop off/pick up hassle free. Would highly recommend!

Tina took such great care of my babe Tinkerbell for 5 months and I can't say Thank -you enough for making her feel loved.

I believe Sophie liked her 1st weekend there. We liked that she was in a home environment with "dog caves" and no aniexty attacks. We will be back.

Private dog boarding with attentive care as if current visitors were her actual personal pets

Always flexible and takes great care of our fur child!

Wonderful care and peace of mind 😌 …

We knew Kate was the one we wanted to watch our kitties the minute we met her. She was knowledgeable about cats and proved that when she got creative in ways to get our kitties to eat. (cat owners know how finicky they can be especially when their world is interrupted) My kitties are typically very shy but they seemed to take to her quite well. Kate texted us daily updates to let us know how they were doing. That alone made our vacation so much more relaxing because I didn't stress about them being alone. I especially appreciated that she asked us to text her and let her know that we had made it home so she knew my kitties were taken care of. Goodness knows when traveling anything can happen and she had our back. Kate is awesome!

Kate watched our house and two kitties while we were gone for 8 days. We couldn't even tell that we hadn't been here, and the kitties were well loved. She was very professional and thorough. Will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Kate!

I’ve been using them for about a year and have had a great experience! Definitely puts my mind at ease when I’m away from home!

Kate is awesome. I needed her services during 4th of July at very short notice. It was no problem after being admitted to the hospital from ER visit. I would recommend Animals First to anyone.

Dear Animals First, We enjoy being one of your customers for over 10 years. We trust you completely with a key and full access to our home. Our dogs often go with us on travel adventures, but sometimes, because of their busy schedules, they aren't able to accompany us on certain trips, like when we toured Italy for 2 weeks. It is particularly on such occasions that we appreciate your wonderful services the most. We know that in your loving care, our four-legged family members get to sleep in their own home, take daily walks on familiar routes, hear kind words spoken to them, and receive fresh food, water, treats, & gentle petting. At times we've missed the dogs when we're away, and you have responded to our texts and emails with status reports that ease our hearts and minds. We smile on returning home when we read the daily log you keep about each dog describing their moods, how they walked, and how they did their "business." The service you deliver is priceless, and it makes our time away from home and pets thoroughly relaxing. May God bless and prosper your business. We, including and especially our dogs, love you. Kayren and Ron Ohnhaus

Genuine caring for your furry friends. Kate gives individualized attention and gives each pet attention daily. My pets were much more calm (I believe) because they felt taken care of.

Just started working with them and their investment and care to our pet has been very rewarding. If you care about your pet, I recommend Animals first!

Kate is wonderful and kept me updated on my pets while I was traveling for work. I'm glad I found Animals First!

Kate and Charlotte are great to work with, trustworthy and would recommend them to anyone.

Omgosh, these guys are great. Couldn't ask for better care for my pets.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!! We took Barkley (Cairn Terrier) and Copper (Biewer Terrier) to Michelle for their first time. They both received the full treatment and came out looking amazing. We couldn't be any happier!!! Camp Union Pet Lodge gained customers for life and we will never take our dogs anywhere else! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

We had nothing but good experiences at the Camp Union Pet Lodge when it was run by the previous owner. We regularly took our oldest dog to daycare, and saw Michelle for nail trims and occasional baths. Since they left and the owner took back over, things have gone downhill significantly. They are impossible to contact over the phone, and can only be reached via Facebook Messenger. I spent a week calling multiple times a day before finally getting through. This will be a long review, because there is a lot worth mentioning. We boarded our (now two) dogs over Thanksgiving, and the following was our experience: Initially I made the reservation to include our cat, but contacted them via Facebook a few days later to remove him. I also requested multiple times that our dogs be in a larger shared kennel, rather than two separate kennels. The day before the reservation, they called to confirm we were bringing all three in. They had no record of me removing our cat. They also had no record of me requesting a shared kennel. At dropoff, we brought our own food, and well as their own bowls. Our youngest requires a slow feeder bowl for medical purposes. I labeled the bowls and included written and verbal instructions for feeding. When we picked them up, the bowls had not been touched. We also brought their own Costco dog beds, both of which were covered in urine and mud at pickup. I removed the covers, but they had been soaked through and were not salvageable. This was disappointing considering we’ve boarded them with their beds at Alder Creek and they were fine. Our dogs themselves stunk like urine and had matted spots in their fur. They needed a bath as soon as we got home. Our older dog’s eyelids were red and puffy, similarly to when he had conjunctivitis as a puppy. We’re hoping it’ll go away in a few days. We never received any updates about the dogs during their stay. At one point, I reached out and asked how they were doing. Their response was “The dynamic duo are doing great. Smooth sailing. We are enjoying having them with us.😊”. This felt impersonal, and seeing the state of them at pickup confirmed our suspicions. Lastly, they only returned one of their collars and couldn’t find the other. They searched everywhere and we ended up leaving without it. Later that day they called and said it had turned up. I really just don’t understand how it was misplaced in the first place. Overall, this was not what we expected or wanted to come home to after a stressful day of traveling. We won’t be taking them back to Camp Union. While it is more affordable than Alder Creek, we are more than happy to pay for the high quality of care there. On the off chance the current owner is not aware of the conditions in the facility, I really hope they see this review.

Best place with friendly owners and workers. I have an emotional support shih tzu and he ended up getting sick but this place helped with loving open arms, they would talk with him and holding him. Thank you Camp Union Pet Lodge. PS maybe more later.

I took my gigantic Great Pyrenees Poodle mix (Pyre-doodle) in to be groomed. He just got too big and defiant for me to bath and trim his nails. Well I wasn’t expecting anything to get done because he is a giant scared baby. However! Michelle did an amazing job getting him bathed, blown out, brushed, nails trimmed 🤗😍♥️🥳! Pricing is awesome! We will forever be a client from now on. Thank you so much for making our baby so pretty 🤩. I highly recommend this groomer. She is also the only groomer in the place so I will be calling majorly in advance to ensure an appointment time. I do not want to go anywhere else ♥️♥️♥️

I had previously worked with this business for boarding and grooming for multiple dogs I have cared for. They were wonderful to work with every time. The only difficulty I ever had was restricted windows for picking up and dropping off pets for boarding. Unfortunately from what I understand the business changed management. This time around working with them has been arduous and I will no longer be taking my business to them. I attempted recently to use them for boarding for a dog that they haven't seen before for boarding, but have seen for grooming services about a year ago. They were VERY difficult to get on the phone and I had to call them multiple times throughout the day. When they finally called me back I wasn't able to answer the phone because it was the one hour of the entire day that I was in a work meeting. They left a message saying they needed shot records for the animal emailed to them, but did not give me their email address nor did they actually confirm they had space available to board the animal. So essentially they gave me no useful information. Again I had to call them multiple times to finally get an answer from them on if they had room to board the dog on the days I needed and get their email address. After I sent the shot records they were very short in their reply message wanting to know when I could bring the dog by without any further information. I responded that I wasn't sure what they were referring to. The last time I had boarded with them they didn't need to do a meet and greet (if that's what she was even asking for in her message) and asked if their policies had changed in the last year. The response I got was not friendly or professional stating that they do require to meet the dog before booking a boarding appointment and that their policies are subject to change at any time. When I complied with their demand of a meet and greet and suggested a time that worked well for me since they failed to include any information in their response about times that worked well for them, they declined my suggested time saying the following week worked for them but again failing to give any suggestions of days or times. At this point I was hesitant to continue pursuing business with this boarder because I wanted to ensure that I had a confirmed spot at a boarder before spots filled up and this business kept pushing out when I could obtain a confirmed spot. I contacted another boarder that was able to schedule and confirm my reservation within 2 emails within 15 minutes of contacting them. Camp Union Pet Lodge was extremely unprofessional in this entire exchange. The client should not have to hound the business or work this hard to give them their money. If you want to board or get grooming services and you live close to this place, I would even recommend you drive to another business further away because it would ultimately be more convenient for you in the long run. I give two stars: one for the excellent service I received in the past, but otherwise since the new management I would give them a one star.

I board my GSD and Berner/GSD Mix with them. The Staff is very friendly and accommodating especially with my Berner/GSD Mix who is very skittish and afraid. The make sure he is in the kennel next to his sister so he is more comfortable and they take the time to sit with him to make him feel safe.

Brought my German Shepard after a last minute scramble to find a sitter after my regular one bailed out. They were great! Welcoming and friendly staff, and very accommodating.

This place is absolutely wonderful. It's so easy to make a reservation, and they accommodate later pickups and drop-offs. My dog gets playtime during the day, so I know she's getting the attention she needs while I'm on vacation. My cats get to stay together in the "free-range kitty" room. They've actually built special shelves in the kitty room to help keep my little guys safe! I never worry when my "kids" are staying at Camp Union Pet Lodge!

Had reservations for July 14, 2023, arrived at 7:50, left at 8:50 without ever seeing a human soul. Phone not answered, message inquiring if misunderstanding about drop off time not returned as of July 15th. Don't risk your vacation on this place !!

We got lucky with having this gem nearby, but if we ever moved out of Seabeck we'd still make the drive for Camp Union Pet Lodge. The staff is so friendly and so very obviously love and enjoy being around animals. Our dog started out being kenneled here, but now we take him regularly for grooming services. He always comes home smelling clean, extremely happy, and well taken care of. It's always nice when you pick up your animal from an extended stay and the staff comments on how much they'll miss him. Makes you confident in your selection of kennels.

Our dogs loved their time here! We would send them here for any length of stay and rest assured they would be safe and well taken care of. Patty even posts regular pictures of the dogs on their Facebook page!

I have known Patty for almost 45 years. a very loving, caring and she is great with all animals and people as well. you will love her.

I recommend Country Pups to all my friends and family! Every dog and human so far have loved the care Patty gives to their four-legged family members! My friends who have frequent stays tell me their dogs get excited in the car as they get near County Pups!! One friend’s dog even had a medical emergency while there (dog owners worst fear) and my friend was amazed at the loving care her dog received through that issue, Patty handled her baby the same way she’d have been handled at home - her dog was back in Patty’s care during her next scheduled trip. That says a lot right there!!

What a great experience for our puppy, especially for her first ever over nighter. She was so happy, and so (obciously) well taken care of. We could not be happier with this experience and we are all very much looking forward to our next visit. Especially Bella.

Patty has cared for my puppy Indigo several times now. She has a great way with dogs and I leave town knowing my little dauchsund is well cared for. Patty also sends me photos when I start to miss her. I highly recommend this boarding facility.

My fur baby spent 2 days there and he loved it. Pictures of his day were put on the lodge Facebook page. This gave me peace of mind. The owner cares a great deal for the animals she takes in. Even though this place is 1.5 hrs from our home I will use country pups lodging for all our boardings.

Patty is the best - she has taken wonderful care of our dogs when they were visiting - will not lodge them any other place. Thank you Patty !! From Jane Erickson - shows Goggle user, wanted to let people I am not a robot. :)

The owner is wonderful. She's great with dogs and the occasional cats. Really goes the extra step to make sure your furbabies are as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend Country Pups Lodging!

The best around! Very happy with our experiences here. Our dog always comes home confident and cared for.

This is my neighbors and in the 20+years of knowing of them I have Never had an issue with them. Kind Courteous and Friendly. I haven't ever heard a bad word about them and in this day and age that SPEAKS volumes.

We used Linn to watch our two cats while we away, and she did an amazing job. It was so nice to get to have them stay at home versus being separated for boarding. She administered medicine for one of our cats, tended to the litter box, made sure they got water/food, and played with them! Tremendous value for the price. She even got our mail for us. Would highly recommend!

The business owner is wonderful with pets. If you need to travel away from your feline fur babies for a short time, you can safely leave them in their comfortable home environment and Linn will come visit and feed them so they don't have to stay in a kennel. This service is super valuable to us.

This is the best place for day care and boarding! Linn is flexible to changing schedules, and quick to respond. She monitors the group closely, and makes sure all the dogs get along. Her yard is great for the dogs to run around, and the indoor space is great to keep them dry in the winter. I really like that when our dog boards here, that he is not in a kennel, and treated like family. Couldn't ask for a better place to send our dog to!

Linn is amazing!! She was a life saver! My husband and I have to travel a lot for work, and a lot of the travel is last minute. We gave Linn a set of our house keys, and we were able to call at the last minute and ask her to cat sit for us. When I travelled, I never worried about my little cats, I knew they were in good hands. I like Linn because she is a professional, she is licensed, and knows pet CPR! My cats are very shy, and don't always like strangers, but they loved Linn! I really felt that Linn genuinely cared for my cats. It was also nice to get pictures of my cats while I was on the road. I only wish that we still lived in Tacoma! **UPDATED: My husband and I had to travel for 3 weeks in a row. We didn't know what we should do with our cats. We don't live in Tacoma any more, and we didn't want to try a new cat sitter for that long. So Linn offered to board our cats! I can enjoy my vacation knowing that my cats are being looked after and cared for at Linn's place!

Linn is amazing with our dogs and has been extremely welcoming every time. She's also very accommodating with our needs. We moved further away but will continue to use her.

We take our two germans shepherds to Personal Pet Concierge and have loved them. We love that we get several updates from Linn several times while we are away, and we know that our dogs are being cared for throughout the day, not just left alone in a crate. We love that the dogs are not being kenneled and are in a home environment and aren't surrounded by a large number of other animals during their stay. Carter P.

We have taken our Mini Aussie Roo to stay with Pet Concierge a couple of times and she LOVES it. Lynn takes great care of her for a reasonable price as well. I appreciate that she sends updates with pictures of how Roo was doing while we were out of town which helped us relax knowing she was in great care. Roo always has a comfortable stay with dog beds, room to run and enjoys playing with the other animals that are staying with Lynn. Lynn even went the extra mile and bought us another bag of dog food when we ran out on the last day. Saved us a trip to the store on the way home when we picked up Roo. Highly recommend them for pet sitting.

Personal & Pet Concierge takes awesome care of my kitties. Even my shy - special needs kitty gets the care she needs. I get regular updates and I have peace of mind while I travel for work or fun. Linn and her team take awesome care of my fur babies! Thank you Linn and team!!

I love Personal and Pet Concierge. Linn and her team make traveling for work easy and stress free. I never worry about my cat anymore because I know he's in really good hands. While their services are 100% great, I want to highlight a couple areas in which I think P&PC excel. The first is communication. This is an important area for me (I'm a writing teacher) and I find that many petsitting agencies and individuals struggle to maintain adequate communication before an after my travels. P&PC have been wonderful communicators. They reply quickly to my efforts to schedule care for my pet. They send me updates (including images) while I'm away. And they are always clear about billing, visit schedules, etc. I couldn't ask for more. The second area is care. In the past, when I would return from a long trip my cat would be all out of sorts from a lack of TLC. Since I've been working with P&PC, he seems to barely notice that I've been away. This is because they visit him often and they treat him like he matters (like he's their own pet). It's not just about keeping food in his bowl. In sum, I can't recommend these folks any higher. I don't think you'll find better pet care in the area.

AMAZING! Our rescue Border Collie, Quinn, had always been a little apprehensive around other dogs, especially males. He spent a week with Linn & Mark and their bevy of guests. Quinn had the time of his life! He was exhausted and content when he got home. It has now been several months since his stay, and we continue to see the positive after-effects of his visit. He remains confident and more social. As a matter of fact, we had a true test shopping at the hardware store yesterday. Quinn was relaxed and social with a male dog, even sharing a treat! Thanks, Linn & Mark! Quinn loves you guys, too!

As an employee: I would personally board my dog here if I didn’t work here, appropriate accommodations for practically any type or case of dog. Every employee is an animal enthusiast/ pet owner with the mindset of treating your furry family member like they where our own.

We recently boarded our two dogs at Bayside for 4 nights, and grooming. We discussed with them, about picking up our pups, since we were going out of town, we planned on picking them up in the early afternoon. We were told there would be a convenience fee for pick up after 4pm. When we arrived to pick them up at 1:04 pm, they included a charge for an additional night, "because you have to pick them up by noon". This was an additional $84 charge. We were not advised of this policy, and there was nothing posted in the lobby stating this policy, nor on their website. At the moment, and now in hindsight, I believe this information should have been emphasized when we made our reservation. It feels like we were misinformed of a very important aspect of their policy. I don't plan on boarding with them ever again.

We were visiting from pretty far out of town (ga) and needed to board our two dogs for a week while we took a cruise. We were nervous about boarding them as the dogs go everywhere with us, and the little one had never boarded. They were so accommodating, and you could really tell the owner and everyone there were dog lovers. They had a great time. Thank you so much.

We love Bayside. Our dog gets groomed here and has stayed many times. He appears to be happy and comfortable. The staff is great. Definitely recommend.

Had to board my two cats almost 3 weeks. Everyone was absolutely wonderful. Cannot recommend them enough. ❤️

Love this place! They take great care of our pup, both for grooming and boarding. A return customer for certain.

The staff is amazing. They gush over our Winston. We do doggy daycare where he gets to play with his doggy friends once a week, and board him there when we're out of town.

Staff actively listened to my concerns and addressed them all, making me comfortable that my Kenobi (8 mos kitten) with an irritated paw from surgery was well taken care of. Kristen was especially reassuring and went out of her way to make Kenobi secure AND she addressed his reddened paw (with my permission) with Colloidal Silver and intermittent use of the vet's plastic collar to keep him from licking. Oral meds were also given as prescribed. Kenobi stayed 3 nights and when I picked him up his paw looked 95% improved! I was very surprised and super pleased. ~~ The only downside to Bayside is the noise factor. Daytimes, their grooming business is quite loud and can be disturbing and, of course, some of their boarded dogs will bark, as you would expect. I expect there are cats & dogs used to this and for them it's not a problem, others may be stressed or overwhelmed by the noise. Maybe they adjust quickly, I really don't know. Remediating the noise factor with some soundproofing would be potentially expensive, I would think, but it would provide a much improved and more calm environment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overall experience: Really excellent and recommended! Thanks to all of the caring staff, and very special thanks to Kristen for your kind words of concern and extra care to my kitten. ~ Suzanne Riley October 15 - 18, 2021

Our family have used their grooming and boarding services. My small dog is a timid dog so his baths take longer than normal but the staff is always making sure my dog is comfortable and are always patient with him. My dog isn’t a fan of how loud the blow dryer is so they put an happy hoodie over his ears to make him comfortable. Also they always call me back the same day when I call to set up a boarding reservation . They have a small dog play yard and a big dog play yard and don’t charge extra for playtime like other places do. My sister in law has a chihuahua that does not do well in the kennel and they allowed her to be up at the front with them! Thank you Bayside Animal Lodge for always taking care of our babies.

Have taken our dog three times and he appears to really enjoy. He comes home and rests for a few hours. The staff is extremely pleasant and appears to be concerned with the well being of our dog. Have made new stay dates.

We trusted Alder Creek when we left for a week-long trip across the country, and we will absolutely trust them again. Our dogs were well taken care of and seemed happy and normal upon our return. I love their attention to detail during the drop off process and felt so reassured every time I communicated with them. Can’t recommend enough!

The short skinny, these folks love animals! The animal cages are roomy and clean. My husky’s love going here for grooming and boarding. A couple of notes, they are the premier dog boarding place in Poulsbo, so if you would like to schedule with them please call them ASAP(especially around local holidays like the first weekend of snowboard season and any Finn River Event). I really should leave them a 1 star so that the rest of you stop booking them up😂😂 Story time: one of my husky is a rescue and he is a skiddish little fella. It is amazing to see his tail pick up and him getting vocal when he see’s the ladies here! He b-lines inside and they spoil him with love and attention through his stay! Con: They typically book up around holidays around 5-6 weeks out and are typically booked 1.5 weeks out for the rest of the year FYI

We boarded our dog Argo at Alder Creek pet lodge for 3 weeks while overseas and would highly recommend them for your pet care when away from home. We elected the play option and photos, each week we received images of our dog rubbing freely in one of the fenced yards. We received a text from the lodge letting us know our dog had developed diarrhea, they contacted our vet and they worked to help Argo. We were very happy and will take him back there in the future without hesitation.

This place is awesome! The owners love your pets as if they were their own and go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. The amount of services they offer are vast and reasonably priced. They’re by far the best animal lodge in the state!

One of my best experiences ever! Place was easy to get to and staff was super friendly and helpful. Any issues,even the smallest ones, they will call an update. I will definitely use them again if in town.

From one crazy dog parent to another, this is the kennel you can have confidence in to take your baby to stay at while your out of town. Alder Creek Pet Lodge has a spotless facility, outstanding staff, and beautiful fields for your pup to run in. Maverick got a bath and groomed before coming home and this was honestly the softest and best he's ever smelled. It was awesome picking him up not having to worry about bathing him at home after a long time apart. And even though he doesn't have injuries or arthritis he got to enjoy massages from the in-house small animal massage therapist to help with separation anxiety. It makes my heart happy knowing he got special 1 on 1 time with an added therapy benefit. If I could give this place 500 stars I would, but 5 will do. Keep up the great work Alder Creek Pet Lodge, Mav will be back :)

Very friendly, professional and caring staff. Our dog was securely cared for during our trip. We scheduled another stay for an upcoming visit with out of state family. I recommend their services highly.

Great facility and supporting staff! Bryanna has been Professional, Understanding, Supportive, and ALWAYS provides Exceptional service for our dog. THANK YOU!

Absolutely wonderful place to send your pups too when you go on vacation! Our dogs did great and came home all groomed and pretty! Owned and operated by wonderful people!

I have a pit bull and it is always a challenge to find a place to leave her when I got out of town. Alder Creek does an AMAZING job keeping her isolated and safe from the other dogs and treats her like a queen! In all honesty, I actually think her exposure to other dogs around her while she has been there has made a significant improvement in her socializing abilities! Everyone should board their dogs here
