Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Tom and Elyse have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They're down to earth and treat all dogs with lots of love and compassion. My significant other and I have been taking Pepper, our German Shepherd mix, to their day care for several months now. They have been very accommodating when it comes to schedule changes and when we have last minute trips out of town. They are also very attentive to many medical and dietary restrictions. They take many precautions to ensure new dogs are integrated properly and safely. I was wildly impressed at their ability to manage several dogs (all with different play styles and tempers) at one time in one area. Pepper has loved every minute when she's at daycare and has made several new dog friends. I would highly recommend Elyse's Doggy Daycare & Boarding to anyone looking for a trustworthy place to take their fur babies.
Bear, our Pyrenees-Lab mix, loves Elyse's Doggy Daycare up much that when he hears their notification sounds on my phone, he breaks into a smile and runs for the window, wagging his tail, and looking for the Doggy Bus! Tom & Elyse treat all of the dogs in their care with love and respect, while guiding them all in socializing with every breed. They are a trustworthy business, and my dog can't wait to see them-which gives me confidence that he's treated very well. Definitely recommend!!
Our dog is really happy to go to the Doggie Daycare. Elyse and Tom genuinely care about the dogs. They even will do baths, grooming, and some training. We feel they understand dog behaviour very well. Our dog seems to feel like part of the pack!
I was worried about one of my 2 dogs as she was starting to show social aggression. Elyse made me feel comfortable and she was able to help my dog socialize better. When ever we board, my pups get in the car and fall asleep for like 2 days!!!! They ❤️ visiting & we are so thankful for them in our community!
This is the absolute best boarding facility I have ever taken a pet to! My partner and I have a 11 month old puppy that we needed to board for the first time ever while we went out of town. We were both skeptical and nervous about how our little guy would handle it. Upon arriving all of our worries and fears were instantly calmed. Both Elyse and her partner were so good with Rocky! He immediately clicked with both of them and settled into their home instantly. They took the best care of him and treated him like family. They always kept us updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of pics. 10 out of 10 stars. ⭐️ We will definitely be bringing our boy here again and will be singing their praises until the end of time 😄.
We had such an amazing time at this doggy day care. Tom and Elyse are amazing owners, they care so much about every dog and treat them so well. The facilities are new and well designed so that each dog has enough space. The dogs are so well taken care of and well behaved. We came to visit with small children and all the dogs were very respectful!
I can’t speak highly enough of Elyse and Tom…I was a bit apprehensive the first time I left Rosie but Elyse kept me posted throughout the day on her and even sent me pictures to reassure me she was doing just fine. I wish I could take her more often because she really enjoys the playtime. I recommend their services very much😊
We started taking our four dogs to this wonderful place when we first located to Goldendale . Elyse always sends photos and keeps in touch about how the dogs are doing. Our dogs always feel right at home and have a wonderful time. I am so thankful to have found this wonderful place.
I had a great experience with Elyse's Doggy Daycare! I was in the area and needed somewhere for my dog to hang out during the day. Luckily, Elyse's was conveniently located nearby, and it turned out to be a fantastic spot for my dog to have a blast and burn off some energy. By the end of the day, he was completely worn out from all the fun he had. Elyse even sent me some photos of him during playtime, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in a secure and fun environment. I highly recommend Elyse's for anyone looking for place for their pup for the day!
Far and beyond the best boarding and daycare facility I have ever seen. The owners have such a gentle loving care for all the dogs, and it shows. Can't recommend this place enough - I know your pup will love it too!
The best experience!! Everything was top notch from drop off, daily updates, pictures, and pick up; Bridge of the Paws will forever be where I bring my fur babies. I drove from Hillsboro and the drive is most definitely worth it all. My girl was returned to me so healthy and happy. Thank you, Bridge of the Paws team for providing a most excellent holiday stay for my girl!!!
The whole experience was wonderful! Lawson was kind and gentle with our dogs. We have an unpredictable dog and Lawson allowed our dog to warm up to him at his own pace. When we picked them up it’s like they had been friends forever! Lawson sent pictures of our dogs throughout their stay. His prices are great and he’s easy to work with. The best dog care experience we have ever had!
We sent our rather rambunctious Young Bernadoodle to Lawson and he did great work for us. He taught her to look at us while going on walks and he helped immensely with her jumping up on people. What we gained was invaluable control of our dog as she is now 65 lbs at 7 months of age and quite strong. I appreciate his professionalism as a trainer and his flexibility with schedules. He is a kind hearted person to deal with. Thanks Lawson, Jeff and Colleen Dahl and Esther our doggie.
We've been with Lawson since the beginning and couldn't be bigger fans. Our dog Max LOVES Lawson and his crew, and Lawson is a complete gem and great to work with.
OMG!! The absolute best dog boarding company ever !!! I found this gem on a Google search and they are awesome! They treated my dog unbelievably! The owner Lawson and Megan treated my dog like he was Royaltyl! I got pictures every day and I felt that he was loved and cared for! If you have to board your fur family definitely take him to Bridge of the Paws!!! Unbelievable experience !!!
We took our little guys to visit Lawson while we spent the weekend at Carson Hot Springs. They got to hang out with other pups, and explore the miles of trails. Great experience! Highly recommend.
Our new favorite boarding facility. Management has an exceptional understanding of canine behavior. The owner is flexible, easy going and dedicated. BOP offers a very natural and tranquil atmosphere, where our dog can still be a dog.
Excellent and friendly services. I highly recommend bridge of the paws. throughout my pups stay I received photos everyday. He was well took in care of. I will be using them again in the future.
Bridge of the Paws was a fantastic experience. Curtis was professional, communicative, and most importantly great with my fur babies. He gave us peace of mind so we could focus on our wedding. The property was great and the pups were exercised. The dogs came back happy and healthy! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Bridge of the Paws again.
Amazing humans run this place. They’ll love your pets as much as you do. Seriously. So much heart and passion in these people. Extremely trustworthy and personable. Highly, highly recommend.
We live in Hood River and when a family member had to unexpectedly enter the hospital, we had to find boarding for her dog right away. A nearby kennel agreed on the phone to take her, but when we brought the dog in, they declined to accept her, requiring a fecal test which no other kennel we have patronized have required. No effort was made to determine whether they could make an exception due to the circumstances. We scrambled and found Eagle Caves. They were very understanding of the urgent nature of our need, and took the dog right in. They took great care of her, and gave us regular updates. They were understanding when we had to extend the boarding. The true nature of a provider is made evident when you have an emergency. We are very happy with Eagle Caves. Fees were very reasonable as well.
Great place in The Dalles to drop off Max. I like it because you can take your dog on a long ride from pdx and then leave him in The Dalles. Both times max was well cared for. The second time we came to get him he didn’t want to leave.
Upcharges after you've already paid. Doesn't put them in the area you pay for. Trimmed my dogs nails without asking and charging me for it. And the icing on top was a shock collar being on my dog without my permission which I would never permit, he said "She barked to much"..... will never go here again!
We had a wonderful experience with Eagle Caves Pet Resort. We had a situation come up and had to leave town for a week and Greg and Annie took in our dog Ripken not only on very short notice but with patience knowing this was his first time being boarded and away from us for so long. They offer a great experience for both pet parents and fur kids and are very affordable. when we picked up our fur kid he was happy, healthy and in great spirits! We will be using them for all our future boarding needs. Highly recommend
Good place for a short stay. Had to find a kennel near my lodging and this fit the bill. Real decent boarding prices but beware of any extras 'cuz it'll cost. The dogs seemed content when I picked them up but were glad to get outta there. Who's dog isn't though, no matter how classy the digs!?
Our two big canine boys seemed to have a great time here. Greg was very responsive, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He even let us know of a great place to go play after we all left the resort. It was great the dogs were able to get a large room together and some time to play. I’m sure it made them feel more at home. Our boys were well cared-for, and I would use Eagle Caves again.
Eagle caves was able to accommodate our 2 big doggos very last minute and they were very well taken care of! Our younger dog has never been without our older boy and they were able to put them in the same kennel (it's larger I believe) so they could be together. They played with the other dogs every day and even got groomed while they were there! I've never seen my shepherd mix fluffier!! If I need a boarding facility again, you'll be the first I call!!
We have been sending our dogs to Eagle Caves for close to 10 years. Greg & Annie love animals and our pups look forward to staying with them. They provide a wonderful home away from home for our fur babies!! Their facility is clean, air conditioned and has a beautiful outdoor play area for the pups to have lots of fun!! It’s nice being able to leave town knowing our pets are being well cared for.
I boarded my pup here for a week and was very pleased. I have never boarded my dog before and the owners were sure to answer all of my questions and show me their facility. They were both very professional and passionate about their business. My dog was well taken care of and came back to me in a happy condition. I wouldn't hesitate coming back.
We have boarded our small dog here a few times and have been very happy with the great customer service, grooming and health of our dog after his stay. We especially love the dog report card, which details the activities of our dog's stay, as well as the friends he has made during his stay. (We also appreciate the updates on how he is doing during extended boarding times.) The kennels are also much roomier than any other place we've used, and the facility has been very clean each time we have been there. We have only good things to say about Eagle Caves Pet Resort. A special thanks to Greg who takes a lot of time to answer questions and alleviate any worries you might have about leaving your pooch!
Our dogs were happy and seemed like they had a great time. Dinah and Angela were wonderful. Also appreciate the prices, it makes it affordable to leave your pet and be worry free on your trip! Thank you so much, Dianah Dog House
This place is....is.....AWESOME! I own 8 Yorkie's and I am from out of town....and the staff squeezed my dogs into the schedule TWICE :) I REALLY recommend this place....as far as price goes, for me average.....I was not bothered by the price for the quality of work which was done.
Great services. My doggos love it here.
Dinah has been our family’s pet groomer for years and our dogs always come home looking awesome!
I take my dog here for nail trims because he will not tolerate me doing it. They do a great job! They are very gentle and quick and very reasonable price.
I had an amazing first experience here and so did my fur babies! They went out of their way to make sure that my dogs were comfortable, and not scared the first time going there. I will definitely be a returning customer and am so grateful to have found such an amazing place! I highly reccomend Dinah's Dog House.
I've done boarding for both my dog and my cats. Friendly people. Since I can't take my dog with me all the time, it's nice to have a reliable place to care for my pets.
She saw me as a walk-in, even though she was all booked up when I came in with my 18-year-old dog to get his nails trimmed after they were getting caught. Great prices too.
Great place to take your dog for any grooming needs. She dose a great job on my 3 dog nails. And also grooming my sister 17 year old cocker spaniel dog.
I am giving the the highest praise. But when someone request a certain few things. They get cussed out. Well ok. I only tried to talk to Dena. Either way it's all good. She will NEVER GO BACK. ITS a shame cause y'all in the past have been AWEEOME!! She looked totally butchered. I have been screamed at and cussed. Thas t really professional.
They are a very trustworthy company lori and Jeff are the best at making pets feel safe and feel at home when they go over to care for them. They don’t cancel on you their customers always come first in their lives. When they walk dog they will protect your dog from danger by putting themselves between the dog and danger. Once your a customer your a customer for life❤️
Lori from Cozy Critters is the best pet sitter. She is wonderful with our kitty Lucy and keeps an eye on our house when we are gone. We recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!!
Lori is one of the most dependable delightful animal loving person that we have ever known. It's hard to trust someone to take care of your pets but we can leave our dog and cat in her care when we leave town knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of. She's the best!!
Cozy Critters are great with my animals. My animals love them, and I don’t trust anyone else to watch over my animals. Cozy Critters is my go too for taking care of my fur babies and I have a menagerie of animals too. My dogs love them, and my list of people is small in who I would allow to take care of my horses. I never have to worry about my animals in Cozy Critters care. Thanks guys. You are the best!!!
We have three cats; two lovable demon spawn siblings and one grumpy old man; but they're still family. When ever we are out of town, we call Lori at Cozy Critters. She not only has been completely reliable in meeting our needs, checking on the cats twice a day, feeding, changing water, cleaning cat litter boxes, etc., but she's also taken care of our house plants and tomato plants. And on at least one occasion she's taken our grumpy old man to the vet. Having someone who's dependable and who loves animals is something that's important to us. We're lucky to have someone like Lori to be nearby to help us out.
Our two cats had to be alone for 10 days. One of them gets stressed and hides when we're gone. Not with Cozy Critters and Lori on the job. My scared cat was happy and came out of hiding. My other cat enjoyed playing and having attention. We are really satisfied. It's well worth the peace of mind. Update 2022: we still use Cozy Critters. Jak comes out of hiding and Luna tries to get tummy scritches. We appreciate you!
Lori is caring, reliable and a genuinely warm person. Best of all: my pups were both calm and happy when I returned home! I highly recommend Lori.
Lori has a very unique and amazing connection with my fur babies. I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. She made me and my babies feel so comfortable.
We have two blind doxies. Most people just shove them in a pen. We live in Longview, but drive to Yakima to see our grandkids and leave our dogs here. They love it! They usually hate going to the dog sitter, but they actually look comfortable and happy here with other dogs out in the yard. We will continue to take our dogs!! Laurie's husband even helped diagnose my dog with a problem that even the vet could not figure out!
Lori is amazing with not just her animals but everyone's. I would trust her with all my furry critters.
Lana’s is the only place our cats have ever been. She has such a nice setup and fair prices. Our two cats have been there about 6 times now, sometimes for over a week. Well done Lana, we recommend your place to everyone we meet that needs a spot for their kittens! Thank you!!!!!!!!
clean and well managed safe place for my dog
Lana is very good with my dogs, I have fostered dogs and she willing takes my personal dogs as well as my foster dogs! She is professional and always available if I need her. I would recommend her to anyone. Your dogs will be treated well and they will be safe! Thanks!
Lana is down right amazing! My dog is a little older and requires special attention and care which she has been able to give him while he stayed there. Would recommend her to anyone
Small operation but they take great care of the dogs and no random hidden fees.
She lost my friends dog. Didn't even really help look for him. She texted her that he was lost, didn't even call her. DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG HERE, IT MIGHT NOT COME HOME.
It's inexpensive and even the local vet recommends her service because Lana will administer medication.
Great safe place for your kids... Going for years now multiple animals never a problem
The best place you could ask for the service and hospitality were exceptional
Kelsie (& Kind Animal Services) is incredible. She is as compassionate and caring as she is insightful and educated. After a 4 thumbs down experience with another trainer in Bingen, WA, we engaged Kind Animal Services to help build/rebuild our traumatized & timid rescue puppy's confidence, and teach us how to best blend him into our household and lives. She took time to know Wylie and his unique challenges while slowly gaining his trust, first. During these one-on-one sessions we learned a lot about Wylie and gained tools to support his growth. A month-long board and train at her private facility sealed the deal. Kelsie's business name says it all, but don't mistake "kind" for being a "softie". She has been thoughtful & savvy at every step. We highly recommend Kelsie and Kind Animal Services! - Heidi, Tim, Foster and Wylie 🐾
Kelsey is an amazing dog trainer, and was a god~send for us! We were looking for a trainer to help with very specific issues for our 2 farm dogs and feel so fortunate to have found Kelsey. Not only do we really resonate with her approach (really tuning in to the animals, and not using shock collars, etc), but in 1 session she made a ton of progress with us and our dogs on issues we have not been able to figure out for years! She was extremely generous with her time, essentially staying for "as long as it takes," and gave us wonderful follow-up instructions and reminders. And maybe the most important thing is the feeling I had after the session (and that's remained with me) is one of feeling hopeful and encouraged, that we're going to be able to do this with our dogs. We feel so very grateful to have found Kelsey and will continue training with her as needed.
Kelsie has been amazing for our dog and family! She listened to our concerns, came to our house and modeled ways to help our dog who has anxiety. She is very knowledgeable and in all things canine and shared tons of information and tips. She had us practice ways to help our dog that had our dog thinking she was playing games. We have faithfully played our games and incorporated the strategies and ways of doing things that Kelsie taught us and have seen vast improvement in our dog's behaviors. We would recommend anyone with questions or concerns about dogs to contact Kelsie. She truly cares about your dog and family.
I just started working with Kelsie for my Goldendoodle puppy and she’s been a great resource so far. She has given me confidence as a first time puppy owner. She is very responsive and provides me with clear and effective tips to get my puppy on the right track to being a well behaved dog.
Kelsey is fantastic to work with. She came to our house to help us with our reactive, anxious and very sensitive dog. Our dog immediately responded to her. Her presence is calm, confident and clear which is exactly what our dog needed. Most importantly, she shared her knowledge and insight(which was spot on) with us. We were able to see her model interactions with our dog but more importantly, she gave us tips and things to think about that would help all of us change our relationship with him. Since her visit, we have been working on the things she talked about. Our dog has learned SO much, is less reactive and much happier. Kelsey loves her work and it's evident that she is authentic and genuinely cares about her clients. She teaches you how to train your dog. I would highly recommend her services.
Leaving my dog Sadie in Kelsey and Ty's care was felt like a warm blanket around my shoulders. Sadie is extremely reactive, and despite medications and seeing another trainer, nothing seemed to be working with her reactivity. Kelsey was able to see Sadie's behavior at every angle and truly assess possible origins of Sadie's behavior and why things I have been trying weren't working. Before leaving Sadie in her care, I felt like I wasn't good dog mom. Kelsey helped me realize the mental state Sadie was in was the reason she wasn't receptive to training. The medications weren't doing anything because they were the wrong medications for Sadie. I learned that most vets prescribe Prozac for every dog with anxiety, depsite every dog having different needs. Kelsey just seemed to "get it" at a level that spoke to me and Sadie that no one had been able to do before. I've been in endless loops of failed attempts of training for the six months since bringing her home from the shelter. It was incredibly valuable that Sadie was able to stay in Kelsey's care in order to determine why these attempts were failing. I was given a list of protocols after picking Sadie up targeting Sadie's individual needs, and for the first time in six months I know without a doubt that this personalized approach is exactly what Sadie needs in order to heal from her past traumas and live a more happy, relaxed, and fulfilling life. I feel confident in a future where Sadie comes with me on backpacking trips or backcountry skiing without getting triggered, among a multitude of other activites I really want to experience with her where I didn't have confidence before. Not to mention, there were multiple boarding places I called to try to have Sadie cared for while I was on a 10 day vacation, but all of them rejected Sadie due to her reactivity. I was in a panic until the day I needed to leave, and Kelsey graciously offered her services just hours before I was set to leave town. Not only that, she also knew exactly what to do in order to care for Sadie as soon as she met her. I was so worried it was going to be another rejection of care, but instead I got more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you so much, Kelsey. You have a forever client for sure. 🙏🙏
K.A.S.- Kind animal services Rocks! Kelsie is an outstanding trainer! The time Anubis (6month old King Shepherd Puppy) and I spent at the school house was great. Kelsie spared no time educating me and Anubis about confidence building and positive reinforcement training. If I could have stayed the entire day to learn more from Kelsie I don’t think I’d be enough time to soak up how knowledgeable she is in her career. You can definitely tell she’s experienced and most of all passionate about her work with dogs or any animal for that matter. I would recommend K.A.S. Time and time again! I look forward to our next session at the school house!
Kelsie was so generous with her time and knowledge. I wrote to her in anticipation of getting my new rescue dog and she offered up so many helpful tips and resources! When I ran into her at our local dog store she took the time to meet my new pup, advise on, and fit him into, a harness for leash training. Again, she offered many tips and tricks - that are working! I highly recommend Kelsie - I know I will be reaching out to her for formal training.
Kelsie is a very animal trainer. She has a true gift for reading and understanding animal behavior (and their humans!) Kelsie formed a great relationship with our pack: a puppy a millennial and a senior!
I have taken my labs to train several times to Kind Animal Service. From basics to more advanced training, Kelsie brings a positive, informative, light hearted style. My dog learns, I learn, it's a win win.
My sweet girl Jett loves going to Critter Nanny. I take her 5 days a week while I am at work. She is loved and gets good play time with other dogs.
If we mention the name of one of our puppy's friends at Critter Nanny, Jazzy will run to the door and want to go. She loves the place! It has been an awesome place for her to learn socialization skills. We call it puppy Disneyland. Nancy and Jim have a wealth of information when it comes to dogs. We trust them with our puppy and the choices they make regarding Jazz, like how they choose to mix our pup with other puppies/dogs. We highly recommend Critter Nanny for daycare or boarding!
Very thorough intake process that made me feel that I was leaving my dogs in the best care. Very reasonably priced compared to in-home care, and my dogs came home happy! Will be using their services again on my next vacation.
Jim and Nancy have been a life savor for taking care of our doodle! She wags with happiness as soon as we turn down their drive way and every time she sees Jim its like the first time- she never wants to come home. I love that I know she is in good hands while I'm at work and she always comes home tired, thirsty, and happy! So happy to of found someone local who I can trust with my girl. Jim and Nancy are communicative, kind, dependable, and flexible. So grateful for critter nanny in our routine!
For many years, our dogs have stayed with Critter Nanny while we are out of town. Jim and Nancy do a great job and are very conscientious about all the details. Our pets are always well cared for and have a chance to play with compatible dogs, so it is fun for them. Our boxer, who has passed away, used to get excited when the suitcases came out because she knew she was going Critter Nanny and would get to play with new dogs.
Our family has called on Jim & Nancy many times a year for six years for care of two dogs and one kitty. Each detail from drop-off to pick-up has been carefully thought out to make the experience enjoyable and low-stress. I know I can count on them to pay attention to details, handle surprises, and report back how well my pet adjusted. I recommend Critter Nanny to anyone!
We used Critter Nanny for many years and found them outstanding in every way. Our little dog, Daisy, spent many vacations there. As soon as we started up the driveway, Daisy would go 'nuts' wagging her tail and making a fool of herself. I have recently recommended a friend without any reservations of trusting Jim and Nancy. I wish some of the hotels we stay at were as nice as this facility! A real Bed and Breafast for your pet. ,
We ❤️ Critter Nanny! We ran into a situation where we couldn’t take our pups with us on vacation and forced with the decision to board them. From Facebook reviews, we decided to give Critter Nanny a chance and are extremely happy with our decision. I had this anxious feeling during our entire stay, never had boarded our dogs before and was SO excited to pick them up and expected them to share in this excitement, apparently I was the only one because they loved their stay SO much they didn’t want to come back to boring old home. They are currently passed out, so exhausted from their week of fun that they could care less that they are back with their actual family, probably dreaming of all the play they had, wishing they were back at Critter Nanny’s! This family owned business has my support, if ever we are in need again... We may just find that the next time we need a vacation we will be thinking of our next no doggies allowed destination just so they can their vacation too!
Jim and Nancy are the most compassionate, empathetic people I have ever met. Trusting them with our beloved pets is a no brainer! When we have to leave them we are confident they are happy and well cared for. We appreciate knowing that they are available when we need a safe, loving, healthy pet lodge when we travel.
These owners have the biggest hearts. My special needs, senior dog is pampered! Jim & Nancy are meticulous in the care of the pets & management of their business. Absolutely recommend.
I had been searching for someone to drop by a couple of days a week to give my dogs some exercise and potty break while I was at work. Happy Tails has been my go to! Lisa, has been really easy to work with and accommodating of my schedule that can often change. My dogs are excited to see her and I know are well taken care of.
Lisa has been walking my pup Charlie twice a week for several months now. She is reliable, easy to work with and always texts me with any important updates. We are very grateful to have her help during the day and would definitely recommend her services.
Lisa went above and beyond when taking care of our 5 month old Bailey. She not only took wonderful care of him but also continued the training we started, continued socializing him and the house was spotless when we came home. And when I say above and beyond I mean it! She even drove out to the airport before we left to bring something important that I had left home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent dog/house sitter. If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would!
We love Lisa and her team! Always super reliable and she loves our dogs like her own. One of our dogs, prior to her passing, required timely medication for seizures and I felt so comfortable knowing I could leave her and know that she would be well cared for if she were to have a seizure while we were gone. Adapts and is able to accommodate your pets regular routines. Clean and tidy house guest too for those overnight stays :) didn’t even know she was here. Highly recommend Lisa and her team at Happy Tails Pet Sitting & More!
When you want a dog sitter to really take care of and love and spoil your dogs, call Lisa. The dogs seem to all love her so much and get so excited when they see her. I know they’re in good hands when I leave home.
Lisa Eagen has been a Godsend to us and our elder dogs! She's patient and careful with them, good with administering meds. Plus, she always treats our home with the utmost care. Can't recommend highly enough!
We have known Lisa for about a year now and highly recommend her. The first time she came over to visit, our dogs went right to her like they were reuniting with an old friend. She is so kind and caring with our pets that we recently referred her to our neighbor. We especially appreciate that Lisa will work with us to best accommodate our older pets who need meds and a lot of TLC. Lisa is a true professional with a huge heart and your pets will love her. E. Axtell
Lisa was recommended to us through an acquaintance and she agreed to meet with us and meet our dog to see if it might work out. She worked diligently with our pup to build repor with him and has been very helpful in improving his walking on a lead. She is very communicative and keeps me posted on how his walks and pet sitting are going. I can leave my home confident that my pet is in good hands. Highly recommend Happy Tails to anyone wanting a down to earth and loving companion for your beloved furr babies when you cannot be there.
Lisa is wonderful! We moved to the area recently with 2 high anxiety dogs who can not be alone. So running errands have been hard on us. But with finding Lisa we are now able to do errands on our days off. And my dogs enjoy her presence. I highly recommend her and her business!
Lisa is one of the best in the business. I would know bc I have been through a few before meeting her. She made all of my fears about leaving my dog and house while I was away fade away. I can honestly say that I can now can go on trip without worrying about who is going to watch my dog and no longer will miss out on trips that don’t allow dogs. I never worry when I know Lisa is coming 🥰 Lisa is amazing, patient, loving, professional, knowledgeable, caring, and affectionate. She is the type of person that would rescue a stray animal, help a stranger in need, be the first to welcome a new person to town, …..and the person you would want to watch your precious fur baby. Knowing that she is this type of person, I always have the most confidence in leaving my precious puppy and my home in her hands. She is great a communicator - takes pics and videos of my puppy while I am gone. She leaves the house immaculate after a long stay (while we’re away) and I swear that sometimes it’s even better condition than it was when we left. Lisa is a rare find. A genuine person. And we feel like we hit the jackpot when we found her. We love Lisa. Schedule one appointment with her and you will not regret it
Morgan is professional, reliable, communicative, and actually a Godsend! She has cared for my Shepherd, Daisy, when I have needed extended time away from home attending to getting my kids set in their college dorms, as well as traveling to visit my ill mother out of state. Her level of professionalism and excellent care for my dog has allowed me to truly focus on my family needs, during critical life transitions that do not allow Daisy to travel along with me. I highly recommend Morgan 100%, and I intend to continue calling on her services in the future! -Esther
Morgan provided the perfect place for my Pumpkin. She has a super pet-friendly home with 1 cute welcoming dog of her own. I loved getting the photo updates & hearing about the great walks & meeting Bowie the beagle for a play date! Pumpkin will definitely back soon!
Morgan has been walking our dogs while we are at work. She does a great job communicating with me about when she is arriving and sends me updates and adorable pictures of their outings. She is extremely professional and comes prepared. She is very conscientious of the weather and how it may affect the dogs. Safety of our dogs is in the forefront of her approach. She also keeps me posted of any concerns or unusual behavior. I am so glad I found her. She takes all the stress out of leaving the dogs at home during long workdays. The pups love her too. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.
I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone needing a pet sitter! She came by our house a couple times a day to feed and walk our dog. I appreciated the daily updates and pics.
Brought my cat Bagheera here while I went camping for a week. It was nice not having to worry about him. The staff here are really friendly and they do a great job and give the Animals lots of love and attention. I would recommend these guys to anyone.
i leave my cat here for pet boarding and they always do such an amazing job! I’m so grateful this place exists because it’s come in clutch so many times! thank you little paws! :)
Little Paws is absolutely amazing and I would trust them time and time again to watch my fur babies. I have had two incidents where I’ve needed to board my cats either overnight or for a few hours and they’re always willing to work with me to make sure they’re taken care of. The first time I dropped my cats off, I was very nervous because I had never boarded an animal, but they took such amazing care of my girls. I was not worried for one moment about them and the staff was kind enough to let me call and check on them. My girls are never stressed going in or coming back to me. I’ve interacted with several different staff members and they’ve all been absolutely amazing and so beyond kind, and always willing to share the cutest stories about my girls. You can tell that each of them truly care for your animals.
This place is great. Staff genuinely love your pet and I feel comfortable dropping my dog here for extended boarding when out of town and for doggy daycare. Matter of fact, my dog pulls me into the building she loves it so much there!
Ive only had to board my dog a couple times in the 7 years of owning her. i had a trip planned and last minute decided it wouldn’t work out for my little dog to join us. i called little paws and i was able to take her in for a trial period the next day. everything worked out great and she loved it! the staff that i encountered were all extremely sweet and one man (i can’t remember his name) had some friendly words when i expressed i was nervous since i usually dont board my dog. the pricing is very fair. im happy to say little paws is on my list of people i can trust to watch over my little dog!
Great place for dog grooming she has taken great care of my little guy.
Thank you Little Paws for always being there for Dagger and Shasta while we lived in Yakima. They absolutely love you and will miss you. By the way Shasta made weight. He is now 8lbs! Yippy. Thanks guys! Take care.
I once had a bad experience with a doggy daycare. I was so afraid to even try another. A very good friend of mine recommended this place when my hours at work became too long. I was so nervous. Listen, I can’t explain how great this place is. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, enough so that my Fur-son gets EXCITED to come! I wish I was joking. We’ve never had a bad experience here, he’s never reacted poorly, nor has he ever been assaulted by another animal at this place. I recommend it to all of my lovely furends. We absolutely LOVE little paws.
I will recommend this place to anyone!!! I've never had to board my cat before and I was really nervous about it. He's 17 and couldn't be left alone for the week we were gone. They were so amazing! The lady that checked him in was so sweet! She sent me multiple pictures everyday we were gone and gave me updates on how he was. He's on a special diet and very picky, and they were so accommodating! I could tell they truly care about my cat as much as I do! Absolutely great experience!
Little Paws took such great care of my cats. I was so worried as I had never boarded them before and wasn't sure how they would do. The staff said they were super friendly and playful with everyone. And also tried to make all kinds of friends with the other cats. I highly recommend them for both dogs and cats but especially for cats cause we all know how cats do with change. Thank you for taking care of my babies so well Little Paws!
