Dog Sitters in Gravelly Beach, WA

I moved from out of state and was really hoping to find a great place to bring my dog for boarding and daycare that he would fit into. He LOVES it at Carolyn’s. With a not super social but really high energy dog, Carolyn’s is the perfect place for him and I always trust he will be taken care of and come home calm and tired. What you get for the price is definitely worth it. They have plenty of staff and care for all the pups and make sure they all are grouped together so they get along. Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care. They post updates during the day which is a cute way to check in on your pup. Everything from our first meet and greet day to extended boarding, I know my dog will be taken care of and enjoy his time. Highly recommend this place.

We found Carolyn’s K9 Retreat earlier this summer when looking for a doggy daycare and boarding for our sweet six month old Aussiedoodle, Gus. They were very responsive to set up a plan to help Gus get accommodated so we could board him for our vacation in a month. All the staff members are so kind and loving to all the pups! Our Gus had some separation anxiety issues during his first doggy daycare stays and his first overnight stay. The staff was very patience with Gus and able to help him calm down and become habituated to the new environment! Gus was able to have a wonderful stay at Carolyn’s while we were able to enjoy a road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana. I would totally recommend Carolyn’s K9 Retreat for doggy daycare and boarding, especially for dogs who are not fully kennel trained!

BEST DOGGY DAYCARE IN TOWN! The space is great and the staff is super friendly. My pup gets very excited every time we drop him off, and fulfilled and exhausted by the time we get home. This truly is an outstanding place for your dog(s) to socialize and get their needed exercise.

This is like Disneyland for dogs! My dog loves this place and feels right at home here! She gets super excited when we arrive. The staff are phenomenal and very attentive. My dog is a smaller dog too and gets shy but the staff has helped her feel comfortable and welcome. She has made great doggy friends and loves staying here for the day or overnight. Your pet is in good hands when going to the Carolyn’s K9 retreat!

Carolyn’s is our pup, Dory’s favorite place!!! She gets to play all day with her friends and everyone is incredible with the dogs!! Such a clean environment as well. Their spaw treatments always leave her smelling and looking her best! We cannot recommend them enough. We are so appreciative of Carolyn’s K9 Retreat!! 🩷 …

I LOVE this place. My pup is 1 month into classes & he LOVES it! I can hardly home him back when we arrive. When I pick him up, he's tuckered out from playing & learning. Bringing him here has helped my pup in solicitation & gives him lots of time to play with other dogs. Best part is seeing the daily pics posted on FB throughout the day while my pup is there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We are so happy we’ve chosen Carolyn’s K9 Retreat as our local daycare/boarding spot. We appreciate that they require a meet & greet and a full day of daycare prior to boarding to ensure it’s the right fit for everyone. We also love that they’re a no-kennel facility so our boy can lounge on a couch as he would at home. We trust their staff & know Wally is in caring, capable hands when he’s under their care!

My dog isn’t the easiest- Lola jumps all the fences, has separation anxiety and is on medication. I’ve never been able to leave her anywhere! Until Carolyn and her team!!!! Carolyn and her husband own this amazing sanctuary for our dogs! All of the employees are exceptionally caring and attentive. I now feel so comforted that we have found a place to care for our baby!!! They keep me updated as to how she is doing when I am out of town and my heart is happy knowing she is happy there.

Carolyn’s K9 Retreat is doggy Disneyland for our dog! He gets so excited when we pull into their parking lot and doesn’t want to leave when we pick him up! They send pictures and texts and treat him like family! I cannot recommend this place more! Simply one of a kind and THE BEST! Gunner will be going here forever! All their staff treat him like their own. Love this place!!

Be sure you leave your pup(s) smiling instead of sticking their tongue out at you! Reach out to Carolyn’s K9 retreat for all the daycare, grooming, and boarding needs of your dog. We sure are glad we have!

Great boarding facilities, grooming, and day care. I recently started bringing my 3 dogs here. The staff has all been fantastic to interact with. My dogs have all been well received and are well cared for.

My dog absolutely loves going here. They have a great facility and atmosphere for both daycare and boarding. The staff is very professional, nice, and communicate well between each other. My dog is always treated well and I can tell they truly care about the dogs. Highly recommended!

Wasn't the place for me, although I know people who speak highly of it. My old boarding place ran the dogs with daycare dogs, so they got lots of exercise, plus the last walk for boarded dogs was at 9 pm, not 6 pm like this place. Their cheaper pens are likely too small for my 2 dogs, so I'd have to upgrade to the premium pen. Then, there's a charge to have them with the daycare group. That is just too expensive for me, and they touted their clean-up process, but there was poop in 2 empty lots. My recommendation is to tour the joint yourself and see what your opinion is.

We are obsessed with Dogwoods. We used to live in Olympia and would bring Rocket to their daycare all the time. Every time he came home exhausted and happy. We have moved to Seattle and haven’t found anywhere that we love as much as Dogwoods. When we work in Olympia we always make sure to bring Rocket so he can see his old friends at Dogwoods. Even when weeks or months go by since Rocket has been there, they always remember him and he’s always thrilled to be dropped off. We even make the trip down from Seattle for boarding at Dogwoods when we travel because it’s so nice to leave him with trusted people he loves- even worth the 3-4 hour round trip to drop him off. We are so thankful for the folks at Dogwoods for loving Rocket as much as we do! ❤️

Dogs seem to be happy. The areas look big and my dogs return tired. Prices are good, especially with the packages. Staff is nice. The only thing I will say is I hope they come out with an app so you can see dogs through the cameras like Camp Bow Wow has. That would be amazing! Overall, really great but the cameras would put it over the top and we would come more often.

Dogwoods takes such amazing care of our dog! We love all the staff and know our pup is always well taken care of. Very kind and responsive!

Real nice boarding,and a terrific groomer.your staff were friendly and nice and helped me get registered,I would recommend it to everyone I know

This is the most amazing dog day care I have ever been too. I’m visiting from out of town and I wish something like this existed back home. The staff is so friendly!

My pup loves coming here for daycare--she greets all the staff happily every morning and is always in a great mood coming home. Staff clearly love the dogs and treat them well--they even recently let me know they noticed something so I could get it checked out with my vet. Prices are good and the indoor and outdoor dog areas are great, but it's the dog-loving staff that really make this place.

I went to pick up my dog and was able to see them grab him from the kennel via the surveillance cam in the lobby. When they opened his door, he jumped up and down and snuggled and was so excited to see the staff member. He was clearly treated well and happy while we were away. Everyone I've interacted with has been so kind and friendly and seems to go the extra mile to make every single dog feel safe, secure and loved. They're also VERY reasonably priced for everything that you get. They're the only facility where I'll board my dog. Can't recommend their services enough.

Karen is seriously a master of her craft. When we first met her, we could tell right away that she's highly personable and extremely competent when it comes to dog-care. We enlisted her help several times throughout the years and every time our dog, Jake, was beyond excited to see her. She's professional, flexible, funny, and great at caring for our fur baby.

I hired Karen for daily weekday walks for 6 weeks. She arrives timely, has strong communication skills and my dog loves her! I was looking for service with someone experienced, trustworthy, reliable, licensed, and insured and Karen met all this criteria and more. Look no further for your pet care!

Karen is a gem. Reliable, trustworthy, prompt and very considerate. We've used her services for almost 2 years now, through the pandemic. She has been wonderful. Our German shepherd loves her and we do too. You could not find a better person to take care of your pet. 10 Stars from us.

You will not be disappointed. Karen has been caring for my pups on and off for nearly a decade. The last six months of his life my 100lb boxer stopped using his rear end. Karen came several days a week, put him in his wheelchair, cleaned up after him (no easy task), but most importantly, genuinely cared enough to help me track his needs. She took one of the best pictures I have of my old man. I took a few years to get my next dog, which Karen has now walked several days a week for four years. My dog LOVES her walks. If I happen to be there when Karen comes my dog does not even acknowledge my presence. Karen is communicative, reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I have never once worried about my pets in her care. When my dog allows me to chat with her, I genuinely enjoy her company.

Karen is reliable and goes the extra mile. We have used her service for our kitty for several years. Karen is also a fun person to chat with and we know our furry family member is in good hands!

Karen's Walkies! service is outstanding. She's reliable, professional, friendly, smart, and a pleasure to know. She's been extremely responsive and flexible when our travel plans have changed on very short notice. She's great with checking the house while we're gone and she's very easy to work with. She's well worth the cost for the piece of mind alone. I highly recommend Karen and her Walkies! service.

I'm so glad I found Oly Walkies! My family took a much-needed trip to the coast, but needed to find a reliable and trustworthy person to tend to our flock of chickens. From the time I first contacted Karen to returning our housekey, she was responsive and thorough. She even hauled in two giant boxes I hadn't been expecting until we returned. I happily and enthusiastically recommend Karen for your petsitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Karen!

Over a period of several years I used Walkies and the experience was very positive. Even when i had a crazy, out-of-control hunting dog, she was well taken care of by Karen and loved seeing her pull up with her own dog. The two became besties. Karen has an innate sense of what works and doesn't work and always has the best interest of your furbaby at heart. Call her.

Walkies is the best. Karen's been covering our cats for trips and vacations for over five years and just having her on speed dial makes us feel like more responsible pet owners. She's a fount of wisdom as well. Full marks.

Walkies! took incredible care of our animals while we were away. She also gave us valuable advice on training ideas to help manage some poor behaviors in our adopted adult Shepherd. She is clearly an expert in her field and I would recommend her services to anyone. She is trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable and a real animal lover!

Julie was GREAT! She kept an eye on our two cats for a few weeks while we were out of the country. She sent regular updates and pictures of our pets, and made sure that they always had enough food, water and a clean litter box. Her rates were very reasonable and we were very happy knowing our cats were in good hands. I 100% recommend!

Julie is THE BEST. We like to go on regular snowboarding trips, road trips, and other adventures and always feel like our two kitties are in good hands while we’re gone. She sends updates, takes care of literally everything (food, water, play time, litter boxes), and even brought our trash bin up from the curb when we were gone for trash day. Plus, our cats warmed up to her right away, which is a whole testimonial in and of itself. Julie’s easy going, super easy to work with, and really just great all around. I can’t recommend her and her services enough!

I highly recommend Tails and Trails. My pets are my kids, so it's important I have a reliable sitter I can trust. Years ago, Julie made a great first impression and I have consistently been happy with her service ever since. I am out of town several times a year and I don't worry. I know my pets will be well cared for and my instructions followed.

Julie with Tails and Trails is amazing! She is fabulous at her job and loves all animals that she cares for. She currently does drop-ins for our puppy, Spud while we are gone for work during the week and he adores her. She is flexible, dependable, and we fully trust her with our pup. We can't recommend her enough!

I have used Tails and Trails for several years. Julie is that perfect blend of professionalism and true animal lover. Leaving my two aging little dogs alone all day was not an option and finding someone I could trust with my dogs and coming into my home was a great relief. Julie has always been dependable and flexible. I feel very fortunate to have such a well trained and caring person watching my dogs while I am at work.

Julie Norton at Tails and Trails LLC is an amazing dog walker and pet sitter. She does walks, drop-ins, and vacation services. She has a background as a vet-tech and this is her full-time job. I trust her totally and my dog loves her!

Absolutely reliable and passionate about her job. This is the exact type of person I trust in my home with my fur child.

Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma inhaler which was so comforting to me! I will always use Oh My Dog Sitters for my pet's care in my absence.

Amy and her team are *great* and the Client Portal system is a huge time-saver. All of the sitters are great and the daily visit check-in, with an activity report and photos, is so reassuring. I would highly recommend Oh My Dog to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on them every visit. Each visit they contacted me to say they were there, sent pics and then gave details of their visit. They let me know when they left and how the dogs went potty and what treats or food they gave them. Highly recommend Oh My Dog (sitters) I look forward to having them in the future

Can't gush over Amy and her crew enough. The care they take and attention to safety detail is top notch. And our dogs go bonkers when they see Amy or Brenda out and about, so I know they are given the best times on their walks and visits! We hope to recommend Oh My Sitters to many more doggie parent friends -- we wish we'd found them sooner.

With Amy and crew I know our kitty is well cared for while we are gone! I love the daily reports letting us know how things are going. They even take the time to ensure our hummingbird feeders are full. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

Amy and her team are the best pet sitters we have ever worked with. We never have to worry about our pups while out of town, and get photos and written updates with each visit through the app they use (also super convenient.) They are understanding and accommodating of our two rescue dog's needs and quirks, and truly go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy while we are gone. I cannot recommend Oh My Dog enough!

We always use OMD to care for our precious pets while away. The team is very professional, caring, and attentive to details. I recommend them highly for both cats and dogs. We always get fabulous notes and photos while we’re away which gives us peace of mind on our trip, and our pets are very well taken care of, including meds as needed and special notes.

Amy has watched our cats twice now and she is awesome! She sends daily updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond for our pets and house and it really helps remove any anxiety we have with leaving our pets at home while we are gone.

Amy from Oh My Dog! (Sitters) made friends with our shy cat in record time. She is personable, professional, and an experienced pet-sitter. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with someone checking in when we can't be there. Highly recommend -- your pets will be in good hands!

Oh My Dog! took excellent care of my diabetic cat which was such a great relief. Their attention to detail and daily pet updates were awesome. I highly recommend Oh My Dog! and will definitely use their services again.

The BEST boarding and spa in the area. Our Poppy can be a bit sensitive and have GI issues with boarding, but we finally got into here and she had no problems. On top of that she seems so happy and we love how the groomers made her look cuter than usual. The employees were so nice and attentive, even as I observed with other dogs, they truly love pets. The daily reports and pictures were so important when it came to my own nerves. I can't imagine a better place to board or groom our precious Poppy.

I don't trust anyone else with my boy Grizzly. The staff at friendly grove goes above and beyond to care for their clients. love your pup, have a trip planned? trust no one else. Friendly, kind, and extremely caring groomers and vet professionals

I have been taking Cash here for over 6 years! The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Maddy, Connor, and Devin are amazing! I would highly recommend Friendly Grove for all your dogs needs!

Friendly Grove did a great job taking care of our cat for a few days before he traveled abroad to meet up with us in Europe. They work closely with Across the Pond pet shipping so they know all the procedures and paperwork required. Friendly Grove has a wonderfully tranquil facility and I'm sure they will care for your pet just as well as they did ours.

I have been coming here for years and I love the customer service and fun monthly theme parties. This includes a variety of theme birthday/moving away parties! In addition to enriched daycare, Friendly Grove offers boarding and grooming. Below is a picture of my dogs in their theme birthday party and their favorite staff Madison.

They are really an awesome facility. The staff is awesome and does excellent grooming on my dogs. The facility is huge and has the ability to groom and board and the grounds are huge and beautiful! Highly recommend them.

Our canine friend enjoys his time at Friendly Grove. We sure do enjoy the beautiful environment he gets to participate in all day. Over the past year, they've really taken care to ease this puppy into the lifetime of grooming needs he'll face as a Groodle. Lots of breaks, playtime, going potty, and staying hydrated. They've trained him for their own practices and procedures. They will give him the food I provide for his lunch. They take the time to go over the cut before hand, at the drop off. They are very busy, very well scheduled, and managed quite well. Their price is a fair trade for services rendered under the conditions he enjoys. They commit the time to our hairy friend, and he's always happy to see them. That speaks volumes to his excellent treatment while attending day spa therapy. ;)

I've been going to Friendly Grove Resort for Dogs for the past 18 years. They, the owners, and staff are tremendous, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and caring. They have taken great care of my fur-babies for all these years.

Fabulous care and grooming for our beautiful golden retriever! Best place ever

We have used Friendly Grove for our dog for the past four years. They have done an exceptional job taking care of Bo. They take great care of her. They contacted us once to let us know she had some stomach issues (most likely something she ate prior to dropping her off) discussed care options and provided treatment. Then they followed up to let us know she was fine so we wouldn't worry during our vacation. Bo enjoys going there and playing with her friends. We are able to enjoy our trips knowing she is being taken good care of.

Our dog Robin loves staying here when we are on trips. The staff here is amazing and always does a great job grooming her before she gets picked up. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a boarding place in Lacey.

We recently left our dog day care provider because of a conflict in operational requirements of our dogs. The operator running a compliance first, companionship second philosophy. Our dogs don’t need to be in day care regularly, but every so often and we’re looking for a place where they can have fun, gain social exposure and be safe when we’ll be gone for a longer than normal time during the day. Bark yes also addressed our needs for occasional additional services. Since I’m reviewing this on what is just their second day there, we haven’t taken advantage of the services just yet, but we will. The idea that they’re not playing in muddy rainy exteriors all day is amazing. I am Happy they are welcome at Bark Yes and a behavioral “report card” they submit during the stay is awesome. So if there are some issues with behavior or interactions we know what to do at home. So far, as I said I’m glad they are in a place where they can be safe, have fun, and be well cared for. Beyond recommended!

I would highly recommend Bark Yes. Our dog LOVES going there, the staff is always helpful and friendly to us both! Spencer (our dog) always comes home happy, tired and smelling so good. I really appreciate knowing that our pup is having a great time when he's there.

Our dogs are always happy to get their playtime in on their daycare days! Staff is helpful and always welcoming!

I’ve been taking my dog here since I’ve moved here this summer and it’s so nice to know I don’t have to worry about my fur baby! He always has an amazing time and is excited to go and then sleeps like a baby when we get home! I’ve been on extended trips where I get happy pupdates and he always smells amazing after his exit bath! Excellent and understanding staff! Highly recommend!

Don’t usually leave reviews but I went here after great recommendations and positive online reviews but honestly was left disappointed. Took our dog for grooming. Yes they bathed him but just stuck him in a kennel to dry. He has long hair and requires a brush but he wasn’t brushed at all. Still pretty damp when we picked him up, which isn’t terrible but usually he’s dry when we go other places. His face still leaves our hands greasy and smelly when we pet him. Probably the worst bath our dog has gotten. It was the cheapest bath I’ve ever gotten. So if you’re looking for affordable and have a short haired dog probably would be okay. Would not recommend long haired pups. Also paid for a nail trim and his nails weren’t touched. Not worth the price. I usually only bathe him once a month. He’ll need another bath in probably a week. Could honestly use one again today because his hair on his face and ears are still pretty greasy. The staff was really nice and helpful but unfortunately I will not come be back here.

Our two dogs Artemis and Aspen, have been to a couple of day care places but when we went to bark yes we knew it was the right place. Before they would hide in the corner and not play but here they have turned into playing maniacs and are so excited to go to daycare. We love having bark yes as an option for our high energy dogs to go to and have fun. We trust them to look after our babies, and that it huge. The staff is always friendly and we appreciate all you do to help care for our girls!

Such a great place. My dog loves the facility and the staff. Most caring, energetic, dog-friendly place in our area. The staff is so friendly and know all their furry guests by name. Highly recommend Bark yes. Especially Kaya and Emma, they were so much help!

I have three dogs and have left my dogs at BarkYes on a few occasions. Each time has been a worse and worse experience, I recommend after one bad experience not to bring them back. Last October we left our dogs and they were returned covered in pee and dehydrated. I thought of it as a fluke and decided to give them another chance this August. Our dogs were left Friday morning and picked up Saturday evening. One night cost almost $300, which would have been worth it had they been treated properly. When we picked them up, all three reeked of pee. One specific was soaked with urine. When I called they stated they had an influx of dogs for the weekend so smaller play spaces and that our dog may have rolled in other dogs' pee. I was offered a free bath, which was unnecessary since I called after immediately bathing them at home. They stated if the dogs had been there longer, they would have called to ask if I would like to pay for a bath. To me, my dogs were not treated properly and it sounds like this boarder is exceeding its limit on the amount of dogs it can handle. I will not be bringing my dogs back and would not recommend to others.

Bark Yes! Is our baby boy's hone away from home. He loves the staff like family and is always excited when we pull in, he can't wait to get out and play with his friends! Hands down the BEST peace of mind knwoung he is cared for when we are away! We love Bark Yes!

My two huskies spent a day at doggie daycare and had a great time. They are a very busy place, but always take the time to handle my pups and be patient with them. I appreciate the staff and the great care they provide. Also recently boarded my huskies while I went out of state to help care for an ill parent. My stress was already high from the situation and leaving my fur babies only added stress. The staff were so kind and understanding. They gave me updates whenever I wanted and the pictures they sent were great. I am not sure the fur babies missed me at all! They had so much fun. I had them groomed on the day I picked them up too. It was the best grooming they had ever had. Super impressed and just love this place. See photos of fun.

I was super worried about boarding my dog as it has been 2-3 years and when he went to doggy daycare, he had a bad experience there….. however, Northwind was great!! They took good care of my boy and made sure he had the best experience! They even were able to get him to play in the social times with other dogs, which surprised me because my dog is a lil crazy sometimes.. Thanks so much for taking care of my baby while I was out of town! It’s greatly appreciated & I will be bringing him back here!

This started out a positive experience. We were boarding our 3 dogs for the first time, back in early July. We toured the facility less than a week before we dropped our dogs off to make sure we were comfortable with the decision. Everyone seemed nice and knowledgeable. We dropped our crew off 6 days later. We were gone for approx a week. When we came back, we picked up the crew and got a rundown on how they had done. We were impressed. Next day I noted my dogs were acting poorly, sneezing, coughing, lethargic. I called the kennel to ask them about it and I was told, oh yeah, there's Bordatella going through the kennel. I was told they posted a sign. We were there 3 times and never was it mentioned. I was told to just give them cough medicine and they would be fine. I was also told they would check on us in a couple days to see how it was going. We decided to call our vet and they said they would need to go on antibiotics. We also called our doctors, because my husband is a transplant patient and We were told we needed to get on antibiotics as well. There were times during the first couple of weeks our dogs were so sick, we had to sit with them in the bathroom with shower on to help them breathe. Our dogs began having diarrhea issues not long after that. We thought it was stress and the antibiotics. A few weeks later we had them tested, since it wasn't going away, and we were told they had giardia as well. Now, our dogs don't go anywhere, and they aren't around any other animals, so the only explanation was tue kennel. When we explained to our vet what had taken place and about how the kennel had handled things once we got home, they were not happy. Posting a sign and never disclosing at any point before, during or after our dogs were there, was considered poor practice in their eyes. It's one thing if the kennel staff didn't know, but they did. Why didnt they shut down and clean, air out, or whatever before taking in more dogs. We paid extra for our dogs to be kept separate from the other dogs to keep them as safe as possible. And we checked on them several times while we were gone. We also had a backup person available if they needed to be picked up. Them coming home with 2 seperate illnesses never crossed our minds. So the first thing some one is likely to say, when reading this, is these things happen. We are now heading to the end of October and our dogs are STILL sick. We've gone through several rounds of antibiotics, testing, other medications, constantly disinfecting and we are still dealing with diarrhea on a daily basis. That is 3 MONTHS of constant sickness, stress, expenses, medications, and there's no relief in sight. We have been told by the vet that because it is so contagious they keep giving it to each other. I have other pets in my home that have had to stay separated from the dogs, which compounds the stress, anxiety and workload. I want people to really think about that. We wanted to go on a vacation, which we hadn't done in years, and this is what we were left with. No being up front, no follow ups, nothing. Why would this place think ANYONE would be okay with playing roulette with their dogs health. This has ruined any trust we have in placing our pets with anyone else. If you think this is not a big deal, or okay in anyway, go ask your vet if they think this practice is okay. My husband left a review a few months ago and, in his words, no one cared. Still no follow up or explanation on why my dogs came home this sick. I'm angry. I'm angry and I'm frustrated that this experience gets a shrug and an oh well. I've noticed alot of people are speaking highly of this kennel, it was recommended to us as well, but this was our experience after ONE time when our dogs were being kept to themselves. NEVER AGAIN.

The staff was great, the tour was great but when we picked our dogs up they all had Bordetella (kennel cough). When we called them the person told us that there was something posted on the wall and we should of read it. If you are having any issues where our animals can get sick it should be discussed with us. Staff was very friendly and I liked the facilities but having a real tough time with our dogs being sick from staying there

Northwind Pet Center is a great place to drop you dog or cat off fir the day or when you go out of town. Their kennel areas are temperature control and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend them.

Very caring and efficient. Clean. Playtime. My dogs love NorthWind. Professional. Been going here for 20 years. Love them!

The only place I trust to take care of my dog. Competitively priced and a lot of different playtime and grooming options available when boarding

This is the most amazing place for daycare if your a dog! Our dog Cooper gets so excited when we tell him he is going to the North Winds! The staff is amazingly attentive and caring. We canceled coming in one day as Cooper had a sore foot. They called to make sure he was OK. The foot was totally unrelated to the NW, but the staff cared about him. We are so confident when we board him there that everyday is a good day for him. Highly recommend the NW. Such a great place!

This place has been here as long as I can remember. I took my hounddog here decades ago, and my wife takes her dog here currently. Every aspect is well worth the fee.

These guys do a great job at grooming our dogs. Highly recommend them. The manager and staff go all out for Halloween decorations.

Awful rude owner. she is a bully with extreme over the top test and vaccine demands. Facility looks super make-shift and dirty. But the paperwork and demands are extremely elaborate. She violated my right to privacy with my vet. Only to find out everything I told her was true. I did everything she asked and then she asked for more. One can only hope she treats the dogs better than their owners but I am not certain. One of her dogs seems very aggressive but she had someone in the yard calming him down to not show his true colors when I was there. I do not think he is safe to be around. I was not allowed to stay and observe for the first time my young pup was to be there. She thinks she is extremely smart because she was once a vet tech... not a vet.. just a vet tech... alas dumb and small minded people think they know it all....and think they have some moral and intellectual superiority. I assure you, none there. Use at your own risk.

Love this lady and she loves dogs so much that they are treated like family. No cages for these pups! There's a large fenced-in yard to play in and a living room-like heated structure to lounge around in, complete with a couch for visitors and bean bag chairs for the pooches. You will not regret leaving your fur-babies with Leslie if you live in the area.

Leslie loves dogs!!! We take Chloe (our chocolate lab) every week. Leslie is so accommodating. Chloe has so much fun. The pictures and video’s tell the story. ♥️🐾 …

Peaceful Paws is truly home away from home for my pup. He gets plenty of exercise with other wonderful dogs and lots of love and care. Room to run, space to chill, "friends" to socialize with. I have used other boarding facilities before but this one is hands down the best!

This is doggie heaven!!!! What a treasure to find a dog lover to watch my dog while I’m at work each day, she runs around with her pals and gets exercise, socialized and I get to love on her in relax time after work. The plus is vacations are a breeze, she is accustom to her doggie day care so overnight is a welcome vacation for her and me. I recommend peaceful paws this loving business owner with a very positive high rating ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Our dogs love going here! It's always nice knowing they're in such good hands. We always get pics and videos of them having a blast. Leslie is the best!

Our dog loves it here. I would give more than five stars if I could.

Thank You Bree!!!! Love me some Snapper!!

I took my baby Oliver, too be groomed after reading so many great things about this place!! They did not disappoint, too say the least. My dachshund is a long haired, 8 year old, who is somewhat nervous 😓 about having a groom!! When I dropped him off, I was still a little nervous about everything!! He had some dreads, and some matting on his belly, but when I picked him up, he looked great!! Most of all he looked unbelievably great, and was in a great mood!! His sister Olivia, is next in line!!!

We love bringing our boys here for their pup cuts. The pick up and drop off process is super easy, the staff is amazing, and the prices are just right! They also have boarding services and my boys can be a handful and they have no issues with them at all. Very grateful for Sylvan Pet Lodge and their team!

I bring my Shih Tzu every two weeks for bath and haircut and Kati is absolutely amazing she got my baby in a week earlier then his appointment so we can get a shorter haircut and I absolutely love it

We took our Corgi to Sylvan for grooming and they knocked it out of the park! Absolutely amazing 👏 I was very impressed and she will be return customer! We have also taken our husky/ German shepard there as well and they do a spectacular job on her also. SO Happy with Sylvan and will continue to use them for all of our future grooming needs.

Sylvan always does the best with my dogs! So attentive and knowledgeable about the animals in their care. Individual treatment and amazing customer service. I will continue to bring my dog here. The pup always comes home tired and happy!

We have boarded our two dogs at Sylvan several times now. We always appreciate that Sylvan required full vaccination of all pets before accepting. Our dogs are well cared for and the staff are friendly.

I took my two dogs there for grooming omg!!! she is fantastic we are so very happy such a great place. Have doggie daycare set up .so happy we found this place Thank you Sylvan The Johnsons Jeff and peggy

Sylvan is my go-to for boarding my pups when I have to travel. I tried several other places, but nowhere else is as reasonably priced and also great with the dogs. The indoor-outdoor kennel runs are fantastic, so the pups aren't cooped in a tiny box like at most places. Our first time there happened to be over July 4, and they put a ton of thought and care into how to best prepare for, support and comfort all their boarded dogs through what is often a stressful night.

I'm a crazy person with 6 dogs because I worked in the pet care industry for so long. Because of this, I'm super paranoid about where I take them, and I always worry about them when we have to leave them. Sylvan Pet Lodge is super down to earth, affordable, and our dogs are always super chill and clean when they come home to us! Owners and staff are so nice and accommodating. Very glad to have them in town so we can go on vacation without worrying too much about boarding our pups, and we can also afford our vacation too! Thank y'all!

We no longer need to board there but we still go for grooming. We’ve never had any issues with boarding or grooming. Our fur babies always seem happy and well taken care of and we trust them there

We absolutely love Emily’s Wood Pack for our two dogs. Our dogs needed some socializing after the pandemic and they were nervous, but they made sure to communicate what days had calmer dogs, and always update with pictures. I would say they are even more affordable with boarding than other locations in the area considering how much love, attention, and space they are given. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. You can tell all the employees love the pets. Honestly amazing!

We are so happy with the care our puppy gets at Emily’s Woof Pack! It’s affordable, high-quality dog care that our pup absolutely loves. He always comes home happily exhausted after his visits, and now he even cries with excitement whenever we drive by the Walgreens nearby. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly, and I love how dog-centric the check-in and check-out process is—it makes everything easy and stress-free. Plus, the location is super convenient for anyone near JBLM, Lakewood, or Steilacoom. Highly recommend Emily’s Woof Pack for your furry family members!

Emily has always been professional, prompt and friendly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and supportive of her pet sitting community, providing resources and referrals if she isn’t available or the right fit for your pet. She gives her heart to each dog in her care and will love them like her own while they’re in her home. She is the ONLY person we trust to care for our cats, in our home, when we travel. She sends video updates and pictures so you know your babies are happy. Bring your dogs to Emily, you won’t regret it! Oct 2021: Editing to add that we now have a very shy doodle boy who was exceptionally well cared for during his daycare visit. Emily went above and beyond answering all of my nervous dog mom questions before booking. Upon arrival, Alex and Sierra were patient with Sunny while he got accustomed and they sent several photo pupdates throughout the day. Best of all, Sunny is less nervous with new dogs and people after his ONE day running with the pack. Seriously, bring your dog to Emily’s Woof Pack.

Our Doggo loves her time at Emily’s! She made it super easy to find a day that we could come out and do a trial for a new daycare. Our dog had a great time! And Emily sent us an update on her first day to let us know she’s doing ok. Love that they have outdoor space for the doggos. Will definitely be back!

Emily has been amazing with our fur baby, Diesel. She has sat for him dozens of times over the last few years and he always comes home happy. She is great with text updates when we are out of town. We trust her with the most important thing in our lives. I cannot say enough about how much she cares about dogs and their well being. She is the best!!! Diesel loves his aunt Emily! Thanks so much...

Emily Wolf Pack has been the best decision we ever made for our dog. Our dog went to day care once a week for a few months and he was the happiest. He was always excited they day he was picked up and came home happy and tired. We never had any trouble with the team working there or with our dog while he was taken care. They are very attentive, Professional, flexible and have great communication. I will for sure recommend this place!!

You will not find a better Doggy Day Care experience than EWP. The Pack Leaders engage with the pups continuously during the day and my two come home happy and tired. This team cares about each dog individually - they are a joy to leave my fur kids with.

I am so greatful for my coworker and fellow nurse telling me about Emily's. She brings her Pups and Cat here and she could not have been more spot on for a great daycare for my Archie. He will be 5 this year and we have had our share of not good experiences at 2 other places and then we found Emily's. Professoinal, carring, kind, just the best people. You will have no worries. Just wonderful. Right acroos the street from Key Bank on Steilacoom.

I would definitely recommend Emily's Woof Pack to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding for their pups! We adopted our dog about a year-and-a-half ago and he was quite the handful. He didn't do well at a large daycare facility, and I was nervous to try again and leave him with anybody. Emily was willing to work with him and now he loves going over to her house! I love that she does overnight trials and a thorough screening process to make sure all of the dogs will get along before their first day of daycare. 10/10 would recommend 🥰🐾

Emily is a wonderful pet sitter (and human being!) and I trust her to the moon and back to give my pup excellent care. We had a lovely conversation before giving my dog a trial run at her house to figure out if my rescue dog's personality would fit in with the other dogs in the Pack. With my initial concerns about my dog's nervous and anxious behavior put to rest, I was able to leave her with Emily for 24 hours to test the waters. Emily sent photos and gave updates and determined that my dog was ready for a longer stay. Now, I'll leave my dog for her "vacation" with Emily this Christmas while I travel to visit family. <3 Emily came on high recommendation from my rescue, and I'm so glad I heard about her!
