Dog Sitters in Rosedale, WA

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 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!

The absolute best. If this is a service you need, stop searching now and call Ayn. She constantly went above and beyond for my babies. She helped administer medicine for two of my dogs, and gave special care to one who went blind and ended up losing her eyes. My oldest became critically I'll and frail. Ayn took very special care of him until his final days. I don't know what we would have done without her.

We have used Go Dog Go Tacoma for over a year now. My two dogs get considerable anxiety when we are away. Ayn has been amazing with them. She understands their different personalities and during her visits calms each dog as they need. We happened to have her pet sitting during a heatwave and then the next time, a snowstorm. She moved things around to create cool spaces for our pets during the heatwave and to ensure they were safe and on this last visit, we touched base to be sure the dogs were warm enough when it snowed. I didn't worry for a second about the pets! She has GREAT availability - and never travels between Thanksgiving and New Year's. My only regret is that she doesn't watch kids as well :). My kids love her and my daughter always swarms her when we're setting up pet visits. I trust her with my pets and I know that if something went wrong, she'd have their best interest at heart.

I was really in a jam when my senior dog sustained a critical back injury and needed to be seen asap, but my car was not running. Go Dog Go came to the rescue, and then went above and beyond when vet after vet gave us conflicting information, sending us across town on a wild goose chase. I will definitely use Go Dog Go in the future if the need arises, and recommend them to anyone in need of a conscientious and caring professional for help with their canine-related needs.

Unfortunately I had to cancel last minute because of a situation beyond any of our control. GDG, was already on their way. The lady that came by(so sorry forgot your name)was extremely nice and understanding. I felt bad about cancelling so late so paid GDG half the fare it would have cost me. I also booked for 2 weeks out. Very respectful of fur your babies. Tansy her beloved companion is always on duty.🙂

Thank you for the rating. I really enjoyed taking care of your pets while you were gone. They are sweetie pies.

We love Janice's Critter Care! We've used them several times to take care of out cats while we were away on longer trips. They take excellent care of our cats and promptly reply if we ask for an update.

We started to use Janice’s Critter Care when we moved to Federal Way in 2019 to care for our cat. The peace of mind that her team provides while we are away is most wonderful. Her communication, responsive, and loving care she provides is beyond amazing. This past December we went away when a snow storm arrived and she kept us in the loop on conditions and still made it to see our diabetic cat. Even when the road wasn’t plowed and had to walk to get down to her house, she still made our cat and his health a priority. We are beyond grateful for her dedicated care and services. I highly recommend Janice’s service!!

We have been using Janice's Critter Care since we moved to Federal Way earlier this year. Janice is very responsive and flexible with our changing schedules. Christine always takes excellent care of our pup and makes sure he gets long walks while we are at work. We have had poor experiences with Rover in the past so we were thrilled to find this company. We trust Janice's Critter Care 100%.

Thank goodness for Janice’s Critter Care! This family business has been part of our family for the past few years taking care of our Goldadore Lucky. This team is trustworthy. They have excellent knowledge about animals and they are genuinely good people. We would not trust our dog with anyone else. Our dog loves Janice’s Critter Care and she is very happy whenever she sees them.

Janice is extremely reliable, always willing to work with my requests.we had to be gone for a week, I had 4 cats, (one diabetic requiring shots in am/pm) and an aquatic turtle. I had notes on everyday, they were willing to continue services if needed. The cost of the service very reasonable. I would highly recommend Janice’s Critter Care! I trust them and wouldn’t ever use anyone else!!

Janice and Tim are top notch! We have trusted them with our 2 dogs and entry into our private home for years. They are also great communicators with respect to anything they see during their visit. And they are extremely flexible with our ever-changing schedules. We highly recommend Janice's Critter Care!!

I have known & worked with Janice for over 10 years. Her knowledge & Love for animals can compare to no other. She is highly respected in the community as the Leader in Pet care around the South King Co. area.You get a peace of mind knowing Janices is taking good care of your Pet!! I Can honestly recommend Janice's Critter Care as the Very Best in our area. Reasonably Priced...150% Dedicated to animals...🐾 sincerely Elizabeth Jessie

This company is very personal and professional when it comes to onboarding and caring for furry loved ones. My pupper loved his carer and I'm so happy we went with them!! They left notes after their visits, and were very thorough when taking care of my old boy. I will absolutely be using them again and recommending them at every turn.

Filled out the contact form to get an email saying they aren't taking any new clients since September 2023. Why is there no mention of that on the website? Why are you still advertising?

Tim & Janice have been watching our pets for 10 years now. They not only take care of feeding & exercising our dogs (mostly Newfoundlands, but we got a Rottie mix last year to add something new!), they bring in the mail and check the houseplants to see if they need water. Even better, they are able to look after our chickens when we are gone; managing their food, water and treats and giving them a little time and human conversation while gathering eggs. Our four hens are my "Birds with Benefits" and I would not trust them alone or with someone who would scare them and cause them to stop laying those delicious eggs. No one else has come close to the excellent services provided by Janice's Critter Care! Doug & Cathy

Like many dog owners, my cavalier is one of the family. I’m a bit over protective and certainly concerned for not only his health but his daily love of life. Where to leave him while going on vacation was a difficult decision until we learned about Rosedale Pet Resort. The personal care and attention he receives there and the upscale facilities make that decision easy, now. He has been going there 3 to 4 times a year for four years. We have always been very happy with the personal care he gets and the pictures and updates received. He always seems excited to be there when we drop him off and always excited to see us when we pick him up: much like we are excited to get to our vacation spot and then happy to be home once again. It’s always hard to leave my sidekick behind but I never have to worry about his welfare at Rosedale. I truly believe we both end up with enjoyable vacations.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to board our boy. I’ve boarded two of our dogs before and Amy is amazing as always, but this was the first time my Newfie boarded alone in the 12 years of his life. We recognized that he wasn’t doing well with riding the car long distance and with the summer heat, we thought he’d do better boarding. I was naturally concerned, but Amy knew him and reassured me that he’d do fine. She couldn’t have been more right. She sent us pictures daily and he looked so happy that I had the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation even though it was without him this time. There honestly is no better place for dedicated attention to the wellbeing of dogs, especially seniors. Our dog really came to life having been blessed with so much love and attention this weekend.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Rosedale Pet Resort. Both my dog and cat stayed over Christmas Break and Mel sent me pictures everyday of both of them, letting me know how they were doing. Where the extraordinary service came in was when our flight got cancelled and extended for 4 days because of bad weather. Without missing a step Mel said she would keep our pets as long as we needed and to not worry. I had only packed enough food for the week they would be there, so Mel and her husband Jon went out in the snow and bought both our cat and dog their food! I was so overwhelmed with emotion. What an amazing small business to do this! We ended up getting in super late on New Years Eve so Mel kept them another night for us free of charge and said that Jon would even deliver the both of them to us in the afternoon. I am so appreciative to Mel, Jon and Rosedale Pet Resort. You can tell how much they love animals. I will definitely continue to use them in the future.

Mel took such good care of my three animals which consist of two seniors (cat and dog) and a younger dog. Mel was so good at communicating with me daily, sending photos and updates on each of them it made being away from them much easier. She offers the best customer service that I have ever received and I will not go anywhere else to board my animals moving forward. Highly recommend Rosedale Pet Resort!!!

Today was our 5 month old puppy’s first visit. He has had very little interaction with other dogs or people. Amy was amazing, gentle and understanding . She made Ollie’s visit as positive as possible. He came home at peace. We feel extremely grateful to have found this pet resort.

I cannot say enough positive things about Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! We took our 3 year old goldendoodle to stay for the weekend while we attended a wedding. Drop off was easy, they gave Chewie time to get acclimated and then he had the best time playing and enjoying his weekend. I know, because Mel kept me updated with texts and pics throughout the weekend! It can be a little nerve wracking when you try a new boarding facility, but Rosedale Pet Resort made sure I was comfortable and reassured all weekend. After playing hard all weekend (and possibly rolling around I. The mud! 😜) it was such an amazing bonus to pick up our freshly bathed pup! Booking was so easy online as well. I was able to request the reservation when I was thinking about it and not try to remember during a hectic work day. I would highly recommend Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! Chewie can’t wait to go back!

Amy was fabulous with our dog George. He stayed for 10 days and had a terrific time on his daily walks. I would definitely recommend Rosedale Pet Resort. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby.

This was our first time using Rosedale Pet Resort for our eleven year old pup. From the first interaction with Mel, it was clear how passionate she is about taking care of animals. Rosedale Pet Resort stands by its name; it has a small “boutique” feel to it with personalized care. The grounds are fully fenced with trails and grassy areas for the pups to get lots of exercise. The “Deluxe Sleepaway Campout/Dog Bunkhouse” is private, secure and clean with a comfy dog bed and plenty of room to move around- there are no crates which is a big plus! Mel provided me with lots of pictures and updates each day and I could tell how much fun our pup was having playing with the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing that my pup was being so well taken care of. The icing on the cake was that Mel gives all dogs a bath just before pick-up time. My pup was so soft and smelled heavenly! We have the highest praise for Mel and look forward to using her services again.

THANK YOU to Mel, Jon and the Perry Kids for loving our dogs like they were your own while we went on a mini-vacation. We were beyond impressed with the ease of making an appointment via your website, your attention to detail to ensure the dogs needs are met while keeping them safe and having fun while they had their own vacation! Rosedale Pet Resort is exactly what Gig Harbor needed and we are lucky to have a local family care for our loved ones as much as they do. Our previous kennels felt cold/drop your dog and leave kind of places. The Perry's made us feel welcome and put our minds at ease as we were worried about leaving our Olde English Bulldogge because he is a bulldog! Stubborn, doesn't play nice all the time and loves to hog all the bed/food/treats! Mel assured us he would be loved, cared for and welcomed. Mel took the time to introduce Russell to others, gave him his allergy meds and made sure he had "his space" when he needed it. Lola our Boxer loved her time as well. Jon and Mel took the extra time to send us pictures and give us updates on them both. You could see the smiles on our dogs faces!! They were have an amazing time which made our time away even more enjoyable. BONUS: Lola and Russell got a bath before we picked them up which is included with the stay! We never had a kennel do this or felt this at ease with any other kennel. They are now home happy, clean and exhausted!! If anyone needs a place for their dog or cat we would HIGHLY recommend Mel & Jon Perry at the Rosedale Pet Resort! Thank you for caring and loving our dogs so much!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mel. I had several questions before my reservation and she answered them all in a timely manner. My two senior puggles stayed Monday-Friday while I was on a work trip. One of my dogs has several medication needs and behavioral quirks and Mel was willing to take them all on at no additional charge. I got regular updates along with adorable pictures and when my flight was delayed she even let me pick up after hours. I would board my dogs here again in a heartbeat, you can tell they are treated with care!

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 😌 …

If you want your pet to feel at home, this is where you send em while you’re away! We left our baby boy Buster (Boston terrier) here while we left for 6 days (he never gets boarded usually), they took such GREAT care of him & sent us amazing photos the whole time which really put us at ease as you could see the joy & peace in his eyes, he was cared for like family, ate well, played with dogs & cats (he’s never been around cats but you could see he had so much fun), he slept in their bed & was part of the pack!!! He came home healthy & happy which isn’t typical of most boarding experiences we’ve had with our other dogs in the past, it is a home with a yard & not a cage, just such an amazing boarding experience like no other, you can tell the owners Love dogs & cats and are very experienced & very loving with animals, I’d very highly recommend this place to anyone, we will absolutely be returning, we won’t go anywhere else anymore!!! Val was very responsive/communicative & was wonderful to deal with, and again the pictures were so great!! Nothing but good things to say here!! I’d give more than 5 stars if I could as no other place could compare! ❤️

Val is absolutely wonderful! We took an 11 day trip (the longest we’ve been separated) and our pup did great! Our pup is a 12 pound Maltipoo and a bit of a stubborn drama queen. Val was super patient and babied our pup like her own. Highly recommend, especially if you have a smaller dog!!

Val and Ben are awesome! We have a tiny chiweenie that they took care of while we were in Hawaii. During that time we received updates and photos daily. Our baby came back healthy, happy and fully potty trained! (We were almost there! They completed it). Our girl was in love with them too.!

Our dog Biscuit has stayed here a few times now for both daycare and just recently for a week stay. He gets to play with other dogs all day which he loves and he has such a good time. Val sends us pictures of him and gives us updates and he always looks like he is smiling and having a blast! We know he is well taken care of while we are away and would highly recommend At Home in the Harbor. Picture included is from his most recent stay and after his bath.

We started using this place earlier in the year when our normal dog sitter did not have room for our dog. When we went for a trial visit, the house is clean with plenty of room for them to separate if needed (she has cats!). She treats them like they're her own dogs and lets them sleep wherever they sleep in your own home (crate, couch, even her bed!). Communication was great and we loved having pictures of our dog sent multiple times a day. I highly recommend At Home in the Harbor!

Val is the sweetest most caring animal lover. She will spoil your babies and send you wonderful pictures. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my young 3 month old puppy. She is amazing! Absolutely book with her you won’t regret it.(The photo attached is one she took of my boys)

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. My pack is my family and I would not leave them with anyone that would not treat them the same way. Valeria and Ben have become their favorite Aunt and Uncle and they always look forward to vacation time with them. Peace of mind is everything!

We've used Val for both daycare and for boarding. My 2 year old 90lb german shepard does not like people. The vet calls him agressive. Helo loved Val and her family from the start. We had several daycare visits. Each time I received updates, videos and photos. My dog always looked happy and comfortable. He gets all the play in that he could possibly want. We just did our first boarding. I received plenty of updates and it was much easier for Helo than it was for me. Helo was very happy to be there with no anxiety from being away from his people for the first time. She was able to offer for him to be introduced with cats for the first time. He was clean and happy when we picked him up. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my pup. If he cant be with our family for a day or a trip I'm glad he can be with hers!

They truly treated our pups like their own and made us worry about the babies less while we were on vacation. Will definitely be rebooking 💜. I mean look at my chihuahua during her stay, I’m pretty sure she didn’t notice her parents weren’t there …

Val and Ben are the absolute BEST sitters. Our dog, Hugo, stayed with them for almost 4 weeks and made their home our dog's home away from home- they shared their bed, sofa and gave him all the love and attention like their own. We got regular updates and photos from them and could definitely see their genuine care for the dogs they petsit. They even bought dog ice cream (with our consent) to cheer him up. Hugo came home so happy, bathed and brushed well. We are jokingly telling ourselves our vacation time now depends on Val's availability to dog sit Hugo. Highly recommend them for sure!

A few suggestions when pet-sitting for a first-time client: 1. Text the client or send the client pics of their pets when you first go over to their house to take care of them. It shouldn't be on the client to check in with you on Day 3 to know if you're taking care of their pets. Crickets do not reassure someone on vacation who's never used your service before. 2. If you are going over to their house every day to feed/water the pets and clean the litterbox, ensure that the number of bags in the trash match the number of days you were supposedly visiting. We're paying for each visit. If there is half the number of expected bags in the trash it does not give us much confidence that you were there every day--or at least doing what was expected of you every day. 3. If you are getting low on any supplies or food left by the client, text/call the client to inform them and offer to pick up more--and feel free to add a surcharge for the inconvenience. We did not need to return home late to find no dry food in the house and wonder if the pets were fed at all that day. 4. Invoice the client within 2-3 days after the job is done--don't wait almost two weeks for the client to ask for their invoice (we also asked for our key back because the first time will be the last time we use this service). You're getting paid for this service, right? Be organized and attentive. If it's not already obvious, we will be looking for another pet sitter in the future.

We were referred to Megan by our neighbors for our pet sitting needs. Megan was very reliable, profession and courteous. She asked all the right questions and came prepared for our first meeting. Her hands were full with our 2 dogs and 2 cats but she was very well equipped to handle the craziness of the 9 days we were gone. Her rates are reasonable and she’s very flexible. I’d use her services again in a heartbeat!

We're always happy to entrust our fur baby's care to Megan of Harbor Pet Sitters. It's nice knowing when we head out for a day trip somewhere that we can't take our pup along, that she'll stop in as promised and give Luna lots of love and attention - and she always sends us a text update after the visit to let us know everything went well.

Harbor Pet Sitters were great. Megan is trust worthy and professional. She even watered my plants! Thanks! I am using her services again in March.

Have had great service from Harbor Pet Sitters. Can feel good about your pet being in their care!!

Great doggie day care. Very reasonable rates. The staff are really good at taking care of our dog. We mostly do half days but sometimes we leave her for overnights when we travel. We have a high energy mixed breed and she always comes home exhausted.

Dropped our dog off for a week while we were out of the country. Happy to find a place that allows him freedom (not stuck in a kennel all day), homelike environment and socialize with other dogs. They said he had a good time. The staffs seem nice. For those who plans to take their dogs here. They do charge 3% + $2 processing fees if you want to pay with a credit card (this would have been good to know beforehand).

We've been bringing our labs here for both kenneling and play, and they absolutely LOVE it. They start whining with excitement as soon as we get close to the facility. A few years ago, our yellow lab escaped from our fenced yard. Since we live nearby and he loves this place so much, I called Mary, the owner, just in case he headed that way. She immediately had her staff driving around the neighborhood looking for him, informed every customer dropping off or picking up their dogs to keep an eye out, and even made laminated flyers for me. It was unexpected and truly amazing. We have both a senior lab and a puppy, and the team here is fantastic with both of them. Our senior dog has a bad knee and isn't very mobile, so they've moved him to the small dog area before and even allowed him inside their home. Justin and Teresa have such great judgment! He also has pancreatitis, which requires carefully mixing his food and waiting 15 minutes for the enzymes to take effect, along with managing a lot of pills and ensuring he gets no other dog food or treats. They handle all of this with such grace, and I appreciate them so much. If I could give 10 stars I would.

We bring our two labs here for daycare and boarding. I love that the dogs get to be outside and more importantly, come home nice and tired. 😊 Mary and her staff are so wonderful. Highly recommend! …

We have used Bed, Bark, and Beyond for over 10 years, and our dogs have always been wonderfully cared for. What makes this place special is that dogs aren't kenneled but undergo a test to get along with other dogs and then are being allowed to play and move around freely within their respective small and big dog areas. We have a boxer that goes into the big dog area and loves going to BBB - it's like doggy camp where he can play with other dog friends. I am picky with our chihuahua because he gets anxious easily being away from me and is a real lap dog. I wouldn't have him kenneled all day. BBB always takes special care of him. We have tried housesitters, but it's such a hazzle to get the house ready, and each time we come back, there are surprises waiting (fellow little dog parents you know what I am talking about)... With BBB, you don't have any of those issues because the dogs are professionally cared for. So if you have a friendly dog that likes to play with other dogs or a small dog that's your "baby," this is the place to use for daycare and vacations!!! Mary and Justin are the best!!! Update 01/2025: we had our dogs with BBB for two longer stays this year again, and whenever I pick them up, they are very well cared for. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who care for our dogs and let us enjoy our holidays with our loved ones out of town. I always feel guilty leaving the dogs, but I know they are in great hands.

Always a great experience. When our golden stayed for 10 days overnight he ran out of food. The owner saw the bag & went to MudBay to get the same brand. It was so sweet that he took the time to go above & beyond!

Debbie helped me at a time I had to re home my precious girl Emma. One of the hardest things I ever did. She did what she said she would! She found her a perfect family and she checked on her to see she stayed happy. Debbie is in this for the love of dogs!!! She has an ability to reach dogs that have been terribly abused. God bless you Debbie❤️

I have an anxiety-ridden dog or at least I thought I had because every time we go somewhere he's super nervous and needs CBD. He had no problem from day one coming here. They show such love for the dogs and it shows. He absolutely loves it here and is excited to come. He doesn't use his CBD at all here. I have noticed such a difference in our fur kid and love it hear myself. They make us humans feel loved and accepted too. We have found our second home for our buddy. Thank you Bed Bark! 💞

Always a good experience. My dog seems to have fun! He comes back tired and easy drop off/pickup. Thanks for taking care of him!

After a traumatic event at another Gig Harbor cage free pet boarding facility, we decided to board our new dog at Bed Bark & Beyond. We love them, and so does our pup. The staff are very attentive and you can tell they love dogs. Even sent us update photos of our pup while we were away. Highly recommend.
