Dog Sitters in Gardiner, 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 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!

Theresa is a loving caregiver of animals. She fosters for shelters, offers classes in pet CPR, and provides exemplary service in her boarding services. Her facility is clean and offers stimulating activities for the animals to enjoy during their stay. Creature Comforts is by far the best facility I have used over the many years of boarding my pets. Hunter approves this review!

I have left my elderly cat with Creature Comforts multiple times over the past several years and every time Theresa has gone over the top to make him (and me) feel comfortable and safe. Recently I had to board him for a month and Theresa kept in contact with me as to how he was doing and even made suggestions as to ideas to help him with his hairballs! The facility is clean and quiet. I highly recommend Creature Comforts for anyone who needs their cat to be taken care of while they’re out of town!! Love them!

I have left my 12 year old cat with Theresa at her boarding place 2x this year for 7-9 days each time. My cat loves looking out the windows at her chickens and Theresa sends me pics every few days to let me know he is doing fine. While he is happy to be home when I get him, he is also happy and contented. Not stressed. So I know he is being treated well at Creature Comforts Boarding Pet Services Boarding. Theresa clearly loves cats and is very comfortable around them so the cats there always seem quite happy.

We love this place for keeping our little guy Peanut. He's a little bit extra when it comes to care, but he's done very well with his stays here. He keeps coming back!

Our sweet boy JimJo has been in Theresa's facility twice and she is definitely amazing. We feel reassured that she provides care, attention and love to our boy. She has a beautiful place where the cats can play, that for us is a plus and we are very happy for her excellent work. Thank you very much Theresa. JimJo sends you hugs.

Theresa Owner of Creature Comforts is a Wonderful & easy person to communicate with . She sent us photo updates of our cat enjoying his mini vacation playing in the “Cat playground “!! Each cat has his own independent playtime in the tree branches & cat perches built into the Cool cat jungle gym! Rest assured on your vacations that your cat will be well taken cared for in the very clean establishment. We cannot recommend Theresa & her business highly enough!! Thank you for an easy , smooth transaction!!

Creature comforts has been such a great service for our Kitties. Our Yogi isn’t really a social cat but he loves going to spend time with Theresa and playing with all the fun toys and climbing stuff. He is always so content and happy when I pick him up. I highly recommend this care facility for your kitties. You won’t be sorry.

Oh my goodness! Theresa has provided the best care whenever we travel and are not able to take our 4 legged kids. Never have I felt so at ease while on vacation. She sends us photos every few days and my Chloe and Sofie just love it there. They became more socialized and in great shape from the daily walks. Theresa goes above and beyond my expectations. The ones that she picks up regularly are so lucky. They visit new places and are so safe under Theresa’s watchful eye. Her lifesaving skills like knowing pet CPR and other skills helps me relax and be in the here and now when I am gone! Her dedication to her business is the Cats Meow! Or the Frosting on the Cake!! I recommend her 287.45% !. It’s safe for our little loved ones! Oh and the kitty area with its separate entry has me wishing I was a kitty! So many fun things to climb on, play with and just go crazy in her cat playroom! Try it!! You will like it!!

Theresa runs a great cat hotel! I've been bringing my two for short & long stays for years now. Theresa goes the extra steps for a safe, positive stay. I can rest assured that Mister and Sister are in a good place, and it's fun to see pictures of them while I'm away.

Theresa at Creature Comforts is amazing! Going out of town is always stressful for me because I hate leaving my animals. But it helps to know that they are in REALLY good hands. Theresa is very knowledgeable & has a nice, gentle ease with the animals. She really gets to know each animal individually.... food requirements, personality quirks, likes & dislikes, etc. The facility is also great. The cat room is always spotless, which I definitely appreciate! Each cat has an individual enclosure where they can hunker down if they are shy or nervous. But there is also a really cozy room that they can explore with a climbing wall, tunnels and toys & a huge window with hammocks where they can watch birds on a feeder outside. This is also a great space for your pets to hang out together if you have multiples like me. To be honest, the first time that I boarded my cats at Creature Comforts I was nervous about them being in separate enclosures because they are very bonded. But Theresa does a great job of rotating the animals out & giving them time in the cat room every day (if desired). My cats always come home calm, happy & obviously well taken care of!! Don't hesitate to board your pets here.... if I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would!

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.

Belinda has set a high standard of care for our fur baby. She is a wonderful and caring human being. Loki loves spending time with her. It's a home away from home for her. Her facility is immaculate. I cannot imagine a better place to take our pup when we have to leave her behind. There are not enough stars to leave for the work she does with your four legged family member. Thank you Belinda for the attention you show our pups while they are in your care. I trust no one with our Loki like I trust Belinda. Thank you!!

I have used Belinda and her services on multiple occasions. My dog thrives in her care and he is always excited when I pull up to drop him off which makes me feel better about leaving him. I really appreciate her professionalism, knowledge, kindness and years of experience. Thank you African Skye Kennel and Belinda!

Belinda is our go to pet sitter. In our household, we use her name like she’s a family member. We’ve taken long and short trips and regardless, our girls are always in the hands of a true professional and caring person and this is why we trust her with our most precious fur babies. She sends pics regularly letting us know that they’re happy. Her facility is clean and comfortable and roomy enough for our little girls to run around let alone her larger guests. I’d recommend her without question.

Had our two dogs there for 4 nights this week. Belinda was great, kept us updated and sent pictures, and was super easy to work with. Her facility is great too. Would happily leave our dogs there again!

We came to Sequim for the 1st time to attend the Northwest Tandem Rally, but needed to find a good sitter for Raffi. We spoke with Belinda @AfricanSkyKennel and she was very nice and accommodating. It can be unsettling to make arrangements without seeing the facility but we felt good about this one. When we arrived we were blown away by the facility. Never had we seen such a clean and fun environment. Belinda has converted her entire backyard into a play area for dogs with lots of fun, stimulating activities. We knew Raffi was having a great time because the pictures were amazing and when he’s happy he eats well and did not miss a meal while he was there! We appreciated that Belinda played with Raffi which he lives. We were able to relax and have a wonderful 3 days in Sequim. We look forward to returning!

Excellent communication with photos and updates everyday! My pup had a blast!

My dogs, Maggie and Jake love African Sky Kennel and Belinda. She is loving and caring with the dogs, and they are happy there. They play every day and they are relaxed when I pick them up.

Our 15 yo old dog had a wonderful experience here. Owner kind and professional. Can’t say enough good things about African Sky Kennel.

We were looking for a last minute place to board for the day while we went hiking not realizing Olympic didn't allow dogs in the national park! Belinda came to our rescue the night before assuring us she would be able to take care of my pup Flynn on Sunday while we hiked! She sent us pictures and Flynn was happy as can be when we picked him up! 10/10 would recommend Belinda and African sky to take care of your floof!

Multiple times our 2 labs have stayed over here - we really enjoyed the daily updates. Here in Sequim - having Belinda’s place is a terrific option .recommended!!

Stacy is a lovely caring person. I can't imagine what happened to Mr. Fisk to rate Primrose Lane so poorly. I've brought my dog to Stacy for 7 years and have been so happy to have found such a wonderful place to bring my dog. I can relax when I'm away knowing he's safe and in loving hands.

I have boarded my dogs with Stacy for years. They have had excellent care and there is no extra charge for medications. With respect to Mr. Fisk, all I can think is that there are two sides to every story.

STRONGLY recommend you use any dog boarding facility but Primose Lane Dog Boarding!!! Our experience was HORRIFIC!!!!

A great place to board your dog. One on one personal attention to detail.

Excellent care highly recommend

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.

The most amazing animal groomers and the best people. The vibe when you walk in the door is caring and friendly. I highly recommend them.

My furbaby had THE best grooming he's ever had !! The staff was helpful and friendly, the shop is super clean, and the groomer was amazing. It's a little off the beaten track, but absolutely worth it.

I never write reviews! But this place and this crew are absolutely the very best. Nicole has been taking great care of my pups for probably 25 years........way even before she opened PawPrince. I live near Port Townsend, it takes me at least 45 minutes each way. With all the fine boarding facilities in my area you have to know I must be very happy with my experience here to spend all that travel time!! I dislike leaving my pets, always feel very guilty but then I think of all the attention they get at PP and how much fun they have and I feel so much better. Thank you all at PP for being here.

I get both my long haired cats groomed here in the warmer months and I will continue to do so. This place is amazing at grooming them and the staff is super friendly and helpful. They work well with my cats and are gentle and caring when grooming them. 100% recommend going here if you need your cats groomed.

Paw Prince did both of my dogs nails after Petco turned them away because I told them one has had seizures in the past. They were quick and reasonable. Friendly staff. Would recommend. Shame on Petco for their discriminating practices! If they did that to people, they would get sued.

Wonderful place for boarding. Our dogs have been there a handful of times and have always been well taken care of. It's nice to get photos on Facebook of your pets and what they have been up to while you are away, it really is a stress reliever!

We were charged extra daily because our little dog, who did not know the kennel Paw Prince, wet in his cage with loneliness. I was quoted $29 a day but was charged $33 without notifying of increase and $7.00 extra for pee fine . Our dog now goes to another kennel that loves him for $24 a day and no pee charge!! Never again. Be careful who you leave your precious dog or cat with.

This place is great. They take great care of your furbabies and post photos on Facebook every day so you can keep track of how much fun they're having. Price is reasonable and competitive, plus they have grooming services as well. Recommend for sure!

Brought our 2 great Danes here for the day so that we could go sight seeing. Staff was very friendly and great with our dogs. Kennels were very clean as well as the outdoor area. Plenty of room outside for dogs to run and play. Definitely recommend this kennel.

Every person I interacted with was so very friendly, and what impressed me the most is their attentiveness to their charges. I was placed on hold while Robin had to take care of a pup. I love that! While Daisy was staying with them, they took time to correct as one of her behavior, of impatience and excitability when she sees the leash and when her meal is being prepared. Cant say enough about this great place. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!!😘🐅

I'm so glad we found this place. I would give it 10 stars if I could. We needed a doggie day care while visiting Port Angeles on vacation. Our pups have never stayed at one before, i was a little nervous and Bridgette put me right at ease!! She is attentive and caring, sent us pics while we were gone. She also went the extra mile and cleaned my Maybells eyes for us cause she gets alot of tear staining!! Next time we are in the area FozzieBear & Maybell would love to come back!! I only wish we lived closer because it's hard to find a place where you can trust that your pups are going to be well taken care of ❤️💜

I was so impressed by Cleo’s dog sitting. We were from out of state and wanted to hike some trails that didn’t allow puppies and grab some food without carting around a dog. Bridgette was so amazing with our pup and awesome communication before our trip. I would highly recommend her and next time we come back I will definitely reach out to her!

Bodhi 🐾 LOVES being with Bridgette (and Kenny) and all of his new four legged friends. He's exhausted after spending the day there (see photo). I'm so grateful to have found a safe, wonderful, loving and fun doggie daycare. Thank you!

My husband and I visited Port Angeles and Sequim with our three special needs dogs. Bridgette's care for our elderly pup with anxiety, hard of hearing and vision went above and beyond. She was so kind, loving and understanding. She made our visit to places we couldn't take pups possible. A true lifesaver!! We loved her fenced in yard, and our pups did, too! I can't say enough about Cleo's Doggie Daycare! Like another reviewer, I would give 10 stars if possible! Yes, she's that wonder!

We were really glad we took our Yorker here. We were going on a couple hikes where dogs were not allowed on trails. He is very protective at home and won’t let anyone near him besides his family. At this daycare he got along with other dogs his size and even chose to lay next to a bigger dog. I am glad he did okay. I will use Cleo’s doggie daycare again.

Bridget made you feel right at home very easy to talk she took us right through her home to her back yard, so clean and a kingdom for dogs. We had no problem leaving Dayton for a full day. I definitely would call her again. I rate this place a five star

Cleo is amazing! Artemis loves her and spending time with all her pups. She literally dances when we are on the way to daycare! 2 paws up!

We haven't visited yet, but I met the owner in the dog park. She is highly recommended by several of my dogs friends.

Super friendly and convenient. My dog loves hers, great playtime while I'm at work.

Great place! Looking forward to boarding the dogs here.
