Dog Sitters in West End, Tacoma

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!

I cannot recommend Samantha enough to take care of your pups! My guy is a bit standoffish with new people but took right to Samantha and she’s watched him a handful of times at this point. I can rest easy being out of town with Samantha taking care of him. She gives me regular updates on my fur baby and sends pictures to reassure me that he is safe, comfortable, and having a blast!

I can't say enough good things Samantha! From the moment I met them, I knew my dog was in great hands. They were warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog, Rufus, is usually a bit shy with new people, but they took to Samantha right away. Throughout the entire stay, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was happy, well-cared for, and having a great time. When I returned, Rufus was relaxed, well-fed, and even seemed a little disappointed to leave! Samantha went above and beyond, not only taking care of Rufus's basic needs but also ensuring they got plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. It's obvious that they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they care for animals.

Samantha was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Duke! She provided frequent updates and tons of pictures, which was a huge improvement over past sitters. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about Duke’s well-being. He got to play with her two dogs, and I could tell he was having the best time—by 9:30 a.m. on the first day, he had already hit his 18,000-step goal on his GPS collar! Samantha’s friendly demeanor and attention to Duke’s needs made me feel totally at ease. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time. Thank you, Samantha, for all the special care you put into taking care of Duke!

Samantha and Anthony are amazing! We recently moved to WA and were looking for pet sitters for our two dogs and two cats. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint! They are always so happy to see the animals and take such good care of them. Our dogs can be nervous around pet sitters, and Anthony and Samantha are so patient and caring with them. It gives me a lot of comfort as a dog mom!

I am delighted to share my experiences with Samantha, our exceptional dog sitter, who has provided unparalleled care for our beloved furry family members for years. Samantha is not just a dog sitter; she is a true animal lover with a deep understanding of dogs' needs and behaviors. Her dedication to the well-being and happiness of our pets is truly remarkable. Whenever we leave our dogs in her care, we can rest assured that they are in the best of hands. Samantha goes above and beyond in every aspect of her service. From providing top-notch care, and engaging activities, to ensuring our pets feel loved and cherished in our absence, she consistently exceeds our expectations. Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine affection for animals set her apart as a truly exceptional dog sitter. Moreover, Samantha has a natural gift for connecting with animals on a profound level. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and it is evident in their excitement every time she comes to visit. Her patience, kindness, and positive energy create a safe and nurturing environment that our pets thrive in. I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog sitter. She has become an invaluable part of our extended family, and we are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she provides us whenever we are away. Thank you, Samantha, for your unwavering commitment to the well-being of our furry companions. Your passion for animals shines through in everything you do, and we are truly fortunate to have you in our lives.

I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Doggy Paradise. From start to finish, the entire experience was top-notch. Samantha is incredibly professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog felt right at home and was well taken care of, which gave me complete peace of mind during my time away. I highly recommend Doggy Paradise to any pet owner looking for reliable, loving, and professional dog sitting services. We will definitely be returning customers!

Samantha is amazing with my dogs! The dogs are more excited to see her than they are to see me! She’s wonderful and sweet, very thoughtful and conscientious. I very highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!

Samantha did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Gus! He got plenty of exercise and attention. When I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, which is a great sign! I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave Gus, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Samantha is amazing when it comes to caring for your pets. She pays close attention to detail and will keep you updated with messages and photos. My dog loves her and I’ll continue to bring my dog there for sleep overs

My dog had a great time at Doggy Paradise. Will recommend!

My dog Suki and I love Biscuits! She always has the best time while there and makes tons of friends! They get such cute pictures of her and I always love them! She’s always so excited to see the staff at drop off and so tired when she comes home! I Can rest easy leaving her there knowing she’s getting the best care and is having the best time!

Biscuits Daycare is the best!! Our 10year old lab Spartan has been going here for the past 5yrs.. He loves going and paws the door to get out of car just to go in and play!! They always have some fun activity or training going on.. and events!! The staff member are great also.. and if you have any problems.. they are always willing to fix it Good job and keep up the great work!! Always continue to improve!! 💕🥰🐾

10/10! Biscuits is my puppy’s second home. She is 10 lb so I worried about finding a daycare for little dogs, but they group dogs by size. There were no other dog daycares in the south sound who did this! They care for my dog like she is their own. She loves going to her community of other dogs and caregivers there! I love getting report of her antics when I come pick her up. I would never take my dog anywhere else! Love Biscuits and the entire staff!!!

I've been bringing Indi here for 2and a half years. He absolutely knows what day is "Bisquits' day and makes a huge fuss to get going. The staff have always been adoring and instructive to him. They have accommodated my shift in schedule. I would highly recommend 🐕 Indis Mom …

I have been bringing our dog to Biscuits Doggie Daycare for a year now, for overnight boarding and grooming. I only have positive things to say about the place. Our dog is always very happy to go back which is a great sign. Biscuits are always attentive, friendly and I had no issues so far.

Awesome staff and facilities. Excellent care for our little old man. He is a Westin/Terrier mix. Love how the daycare groups dogs by size and age. Very caring people, too. Highly recommend!

Biscuits takes such good care of my favorite doodle in both daycare and boarding! They pay attention to her moods, and how comfortable she is around new people and new dogs. Because it’s such a great business, turnover is low, and Korra has made many new human friends in addition to a few dog friends. Honestly I’m not quite sure what we would do without Biscuits! !

Biscuits is an amazing daycare and boarding facility. They do a fantastic job ensuring my pups are well cared for and well socialized. I have four rescue dogs, and the one that goes here is by far the most socialized and well-adjusted of my pack. She’s been going here since she was just 12 weeks old and went through all the puppy classes. Ava has turned out to be so good with all dogs. Having rescues can be difficult, and a few of the older ones just won't do well in a daycare environment, but I am grateful Ava was able to be exposed at a very young age and taught how to be a good dog. Thank you, Biscuits!!

Do NOT take your dog to Biscuits. 1. They were extremely negligent in the handling of an emergency situation with my dog and could care less about his well-being. He broke his canine tooth and lacerated his tongue, then bled in his kennel for 1 and a half hours before they discovered it. Even when they called to have him picked up, they said they "weren't concerned about blood loss, if we needed to finish out our work day." Luckily, we rushed him to the vet (because blood was dripping from his mouth and his paws were soaked in it). He had 100 ml of blood pumped from his throat and emergency surgery to remove the canine and the tooth next to it, along with 2 layers of stitches in his tongue. 2. They don't give tours because they don't want you to see that your dog spends a majority of the day in a kennel. The play space is TINY. Like the size of a residential driveway. And lined with occupied kennels! Promoting severely antagonistic behavior. I was ushered out of there pretty quickly. It should have been an easy exchange of factual information, to get to the bottom of what happened to my dog. This was not the case. So many red flags. It is not a safe place for your dog. 3. They don't provide details of your dog's day because there are none--they sit in kennels. I specifically requested the schedule and details of my dog's day leading up to him having to have emergency surgery, and they ignored it multiple times. The good thing out of it all = I found an in-home daycare that is run by a woman who loves and cares about dogs. If this wouldn't have happened, he would probably have continued to attend Biscuits, just to sit in kennels for entire weeks during boarding stays. It breaks my heart to think of all the dogs that will be. Tell your people not to go there.

I absolutely love biscuits! My doodle has been going there since puppy school and I trust their team and their expertise to ensure he has the best and safe time! I live for the planned activities and themes and I think the secret Santa has been my favorite activity. They do their best to get you in and out and I know my dog/son is in good hands ❤️

If you are in need of a doggy day care, then this is the place for you!! We had a week long family vacation planned and this was going to be the first time that we would be away from our girl, Summer. I was overly anxious about leaving her at a boarding facility because that's just not an environment she's used to being in. But thankfully, we found Jordan at Connie's Cottage! Jordan ensured a wonderful experience right from the beginning! We scheduled a meet & greet so Summer could get familiar with him and the area before we dropped her off. He listened to our concerns about our first time being away from her and had no problem staying consistent with her food additions and allergy medication! Immediately after dropping her off, we started receiving pictures and updates of their adventures! Jordan would consistently send pictures throughout the day of her on their multiple walls, local dog park visits, and even when they were just hanging out at home. It was such a relief to know that Summer was with someone who genuinely cared for her and had her in an environment that was more like home! Jordan even offered to check our mail for us while we were gone! I just absolutely love that this is a local, family owned business. I highly, highly recommend Jordan and his family if you are in need of doggy day care! We will absolutely be lifelong customers and will go back for all of our doggy daycare needs! 🐾🤎

Leaving my dog with a boarding facility/pet sitter has always been very difficult for me because I get super anxious being away from him especially with him being a rescue and he hasn’t had the best past experiences. But let me tell you, Connie’s Cottage is AMAZING. Jordan is so welcoming and does what he can to make sure that every dog is comfortable and happy and feels as much at home as possible with an open concept where they have free roam but are also NEVER left alone by themselves. You also can expect MULTIPLE pictures throughout the day while on vacation to show the little adventures or walks they are taking or just updates in general which eased my mind so much. My Brody can be quite the stubborn dude but has the biggest heart. I wouldn’t trust taking my dog anywhere else in the future. Brody had a blast and met so many new friends and explored all kinds of environments during his stay. I HIGHLY recommend using Connie’s Cottage Dog Services to anyone, whether you’re an anxious pet parent like me, or just in general for boarding services and other services they offer. I will always be taking Brody and other future pets here in the future!🩷 Thank you so much Jordan and Cottie’s Cottage for making this vacation so much less stressful and for caring for my best friend🩵

I can't say enough good things about Jordan and his family. They took amazing care of our two pugs while we were out of town for a week. Jordan was super communicative, sending daily photo updates via text (sometimes more than once a day). I enjoyed seeing my derpy dogs having fun exploring new dog parks and becoming temporary members of the "pack." Jordan had no issues with one of my dogs needing a pill with each meal--I appreciated that it wasn't a hassle. Towards the end of our trip the dogs had minor ear issues which Jordan immediately alerted me to so that we could address it when we got back and in the meantime he was proactive with ear cleaner. I highly recommend Connie's Cottage. The 100% 5-star reviews are well deserved. Good vibes all around. Thank you Jordan for taking such good care of our pups!

Jordan and Donna were prompt, professional, and flexible with scheduling. In particular, Jordan was incredibly generous in our first meeting to see if my dog would be a good fit. His attention to detail, knowledge of dogs and social interactions exuded confidence and showed that he was above all dedicated to the well-being of the dogs. I could see this was a labor of love, and not just a business interest. Our dog was initially very scared, but by the end of the day he was very happy and I could tell he was comfortable with Jordan and had a wonderful time with the other dogs. I highly recommend Connie's and I will be back the next time I need doggy day care. Thank you!🐕

My experience with Jordan has been nothing but the best! I’ve been through a couple of day care facilities and dog sitters with my dog. More often than not, he comes back smelling like urine or not getting enough exercise. With Jordan, he comes back smelling like he did when we went and his exercise has been off the charts. I have a fitness tracker on my dog and his average daily activity when being with Jordan is 5 hours! My dog went on multiple walks and park time during the day. If you’ve ever seen Jordan out at Ft. Steilacoom Dog Park, you can tell that he knows what he’s doing. He knows how to get all the dogs to listen and follow him while still paying attention to every single one. Jordan’s communication with me has been wonderful! I’ve gotten multiple photos every time my dog goes out and the photos are of great quality. Jordan is really great at giving updates. I will continue to use Jordan’s services for my dog!

Jordan is excellent. Great with my pup and consistently very professional. Runs on time. His service is different from standard dog daycare. How he does it is so much more on the relationship with the dog. With walking… lots of walking, park time, sitting, training, and love all kind of rolled in. I have been very impressed. My dog loves being around him and his pack so much that it is even a bit of a challenge to get him back in my truck (in a good way). I trust this guy very much with by dog and will not hesitate to take him here again anytime I am working in the area.

Jordan is the best! My husband found Jordan over a year ago on Rover. We were looking for someone to walk them daily while my husband and kid’s were out of town and I had a long work week. Here we are a year later and he still comes three times per week. My dogs wait on the couch looking out the window…we call it Jordan watch. We have boarded with him a couple of times. We always joke that our dogs prefer him to us. Needless to say you won’t regret using Jordan for dog care! And he takes the best pictures!

Took the pups for an overnight at Connie's cottage before we go on our vacation in a month. I have checked out probably 100 places and visited a dozen or more. I'm super cautious about where I board them and do not want to worry about my fur babies when I'm gone. Jordan sent many pictures of their walks and updates. I feel very comfortable that they will be well taken care of with plenty of exercise and not just put in a kennel. When they came home they were exhausted. I also love he has dog CPR training and plans in place if anything may happen. Glad to have found a place my 2 pups can go and feel at home, cuddle on a couch and have plenty of exercise. ❤️❤️❤️

Jordan is amazing! He does it all, walking, sitting, boarding…. I think my dogs would choose him over me. Bella and Cubby are better behaved because of his care. 5 stars isn’t enough.

Jordan has been an absolute asset to our family! He took wonderful care of our elderly pup Daisy, providing peace of mind to us while we were working. Now he helps with our new pup Kevin, giving him much needed exercise and love when we're at work! Jordan has a special way with dogs, and I trust him completely. You can tell he really has a unique love and way with our canine family members!

Boarded my Frenchie Balenciaga with Good Karma Pet Care when I went on vacation from 08/21-08/23. I had never boarded him before and was super nervous but Chelsea made me feel so much better about boarding him. Chelsea was so knowledgeable and friendly and took extra steps to make sure I felt at ease leaving my pup for a couple days. I could tell immediately that Chelsea really cares about the dogs in her care. I would recommend anyone who needs pet care to choose Good Karma. I know exactly who I will be calling the next time I need care for my pup. Thank you Chelsea and Good Karma!!

This review is so long overdue. If you're looking for a great doggy daycare, listen to me, you are never going to find better ownership and staff for a doggy daycare than here. They all loved my sweet Ada like she was their own pup, and you can tell they treat every dog with individualized love and care, which is so immensely valuable and rare. I became well acquainted with the owner and staff in no time - they're all very kind, friendly, often hilarious if you ask for a good story. Something that is also so rare is how creative they are - we still have every seasonal/holiday photo, laminated paw stamp, ornament, etc. They are all treasures we will love forever and we're so happy they take the time to create memories for us of Ada. I also love that they keep up on posting photos of the daycare dogs on their Facebook, where my mom would 'like' photos and engage with the staff in the comments. The place really became a part of our family and something to share in common with coworkers too. Until we had to begin looking for other daycares in Olympia I don't think I understood just how rare and lucky I'd been to be taking her here for all these years. No where else begins to meet the high level of service and love we got at this place. So if I could give this place a 20 out of 10 I would. If you're going to starting taking your doggo here please be fair to the staff, be kind and be appreciative of the amazing work they do, because you won't find a place like this anywhere else. Thank you all for the amazing years. Ada and I miss you and can't thank you enough for the wonderful memories.

0 if I could. Shame on you for making a profit off of a lost dog instead of giving it back to the owners after knowing you found the owners!!! If I know anything on law, but this is theft. You are gonna owe courts and a lot of people a lot of money with these fees after what you did… Your company and the story reached Arizona. Congratulations you’re almost infamous.

This is extremely sad, I don’t know how you can operate this business while also not reuniting a family. I don’t know how you don’t feel any guilt or remorse for this poor family and her fur-baby. It’s unprofessional and quite frankly sick. Please give this lady her dog back that’s your responsibility and your obligation as a pet provider. The puppy is probably so sad and misses its family and vise versa. Please do the right thing here!

We purchased a 10 use daycare pass, and were not told about any expiration. We had used it once when we were suddenly informed of the very short expiration window. $200 down the drain.

I don't know how I would have survived the last 7 months without Chelsea Bassett and the whole pack at Hound Hangout! I received a donated puppy to train as my service dog. Despite planning on this for over a decade, I was in the midst of a deep depression when I got him and completely unprepared for the bundle of energy I received. But the care and support my Charlie got at Hound Hangout, as well as the socialization, helped us both survive his difficult puppyhood. I transitioned to working full-time work during that time and knew he was even happier with them than if I were home with him. He is going to turn out to be a great dog, thanks in part to the calm, balanced and fun environment in which he got to spend much of the most vulnerable months of his life. I was also hospitalized twice in that time. I probably would have worried myself even sicker without knowing that someone as competent and caring as Chelsea was taking care of him. THANK YOU!!!

You will not find better pet care than good karma. I will never take my dogs any where else. The owner is such a kind caring person. My anti social dog gets so excited when she sees her

Love Good Karma. I’ve been taking my dog there since he was 4 or 5 months old. He’s 1.5 now. He loves it there and they love him. Super reasonably priced. I love that you don’t have to make a 24hr + reservation for daycare. Some mornings unexpected work things come up and I need to take him to daycare for a half day. Never a problem. He always come home tired and happy! He also boards there when I have to go out of town. Love the owner Chelsea and her staff.

We have brought our dogs here for 6+ years. I highly recommend them.

Well they are nice people, and our dogs are treated great. But! They don’t listen to our request. We have old schnauzers. They need shaved and their paws cut short. This is the second time they have been here. Their hair is still a quarter inch out side of their pads. The rest of their bodies are trimmed but still long. Not shaved. They will be ok and look ok. I just don’t know if we should go back or try the place down 6th ave.

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 absolutely love the Muttro Pups! We have been using them for all our boarding needs for our three Italian greyhounds! They get to board in the same room and not in a cramped cage. I have such peace of mind that my dogs will be taken care of and happy! We have been repeat customers for 4 years!

They take great care of my crazy Shiba/husky mix! I also love that they are super responsive to their text check-ins, and send me cute pictures!

The Muttropolitan is an amazing doggy day care. They have boarding options and will come to your house. They have taken great care of my dogs and cats throughout the years.

10/10 would recommend them! First time boarding with them and I have nothing but positive things to say. Being gone for over a week, I was so grateful for the quick replies with updates and pictures of my dogs! The staff are so nice and helpful. They helped me bring my dogs out to my car when I picked them up, and having one small dog and one large old dog it’s a hassle by myself. Great place, great staff who communicate well! Thank you!!

Love this place! My nala is so happy here! Kirsten is amazing with my pup! She takes very good care of her! I have worked with her at previous places and will follow her on whatever adventure she takes on! 💗💗 Send your doggie here!

We boarded our 4 year old dog for the first time over the holidays after an unexpected change in our care plans. The staff was incredibly helpful in getting us the boarding help we needed with only a couple weeks’ notice at such a busy time of the year. I applaud their good communication (including updates and photos during her stay!), deep care for all animals they take in, and the willingness to help us out when we were in a major bind. We will definitely be boarding our dog here again! Highly recommend.

My two dogs, Lemon and Raspberry, have always had someone home to watch them while I go on work trips, and that changed this year after our relocation to Washington. I travel for work 3-8 times a year and I was worried about being able to find a suitable place for them since they have separation anxiety, are on the barkier side, and need prescription food. Muttropolitan found a place for my pups after a last minute Rover cancellation in October, and I took them back for a longer visit this month. These people go above and beyond for my dogs -- even sitting with them while they eat (this is the only way they actually eat when they're stressed). In addition to being reasonably priced, their facility accommodates them being boarded in the same kennel area, walks them multiple times a day, and is extremely punctual with sending updates and pictures upon request. My dogs are their normal silly selves when we get home, which shows me they are getting proper attention and they are minimally stressed while boarded. I am so glad that I found a place for my two babies. I highly recommend the Muttropolitan.

Our sweet Sunny girl has always gone to Leash the Muttro Pups anytime we needed boarding when we have to go out of town. We always come back to a very happy bean! It’s like a mini vacation for her, and we feel better knowing she’s really well cared for. What we appreciate the most is the photo text updates we get on how she’s doing, as well as the accommodations they had for her when she was still a pup and not spayed yet. 5/5 recommend! Also the sweetest people you will meet. Photos of her from her morning walks with Leash the Muttro Pups🥰

We've boarded our dog here a couple of times now for extended vacations, and he is always so happy and well cared for. Our dog is somewhat aggressive with other dogs, and we love that the Muttropolitan staff have experience with dogs with behavior issues and know how to handle and care for all the pets staying with them at any given time. It's a lot of extra work, and we appreciate the care and love that goes into his stay.

I have been bringing my dog here for over a year. I highly recommend them. They are so kind and loving to my dog. He can be a bit hyper and other dog daycare places have suggested I give him CBD before bringing him because he’s just “too much“ so I love that leash. The Metro pups takes him as he is. He’s always well cared for and now that they have a bigger space. I’m sure it will be even better.

My wife and I went on a two-week honeymoon and we needed care for our four cats. We know four is a lot so we were a little nervous but we now have no reservations whatsoever about recommending Grity City Kitty! Sharyn responds very quickly to email inquiries and helped put our minds at ease. We were able to see where our kitties would be staying once we dropped them off and they had a whole room with lots of toys, tunnels, and cat trees etc to themselves which was fantastic. 😻. We only needed to bring their food and carriers - everything else was provided. Sharyn provided email updates with pictures throughout our trip which we were always happy to see. When we picked them up after getting home, all four were happy and healthy and were in their carriers ready to go at the appointed time. 😸 We are very happy with the service and will definitely be back when the need arises again!

This will forever be my choice for boarding for my cat, Aladdin! Sharyn was absolutely amazing! She immediately put my mind at ease. She gave him love and attention (which my cat needs a lot of). She also sent us photos and text messages every day! It was so nice having the peace of mind that he was being fed, cuddled and taken care of. I would 100% recommend! The cat condos are also so spacious! I’m definitely going to go with Grit City Kitty next time we are out of town!

Our top choice for cat boarding! We were able to enjoy a trip abroad knowing our cat was in the best care and not stuck all day in a boarding kennel. Sharyn prepared the best cat room for our cat’s needs and kept us updated with sweet pics of our cat while we were away. She also works professionally with cats and cat fosters. Grit City Kitty will always be our first choice for our baby. 5+ stars.

I love Grit City Kitty! The owner, Sharyn, is very knowledgeable about cats and treated my cats like they were her own. I got pictures and updates of my cats during their stay which really put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend Grit City Kitty to anyone looking for cat care!

I highly recommend Grit City Kitty! They provide home visits, and our cat was well cared for during our vacation. Grit City Kitty gave us peace of mind, knowing that their provider is knowledgable and experienced. If I could add 10 stars I would. Don't hesitate to book with them!!

My princess was wonderfully taken care of! She's simply the best cat boarding in Tacoma. I will always be going here if I ever need to board my cat again.

Sharyn is incredible and took amazing care of my cat while I was moving. Lots of updates and I love the individual suites for the guest cats.

Sharyn was very friendly, gave frequent updates, and took very good care of my two kittens while I was away for vacation. Will definitely board my kittens with her again!

I really trust Sharyn with my cats and my home. She is communicative, on time, trustworthy/diligent/aware, and dedicated to providing a positive experience for both the owner and the cats. I have needed many home visits and the cats just love her—even the standoffish one. They can tell she’s a cat lover! I have a slightly more complicated food and sometimes medication regime and she always handles with ease. She did a free meet and greet the first time to ensure a smooth transition into her care, answered all my questions and made me feel confident in her service. She also sends great photos of them during her visits which is always appreciated. I’ve seen the large and cozy cat boarding room and was impressed and think it’s a great option for those who need it. I have senior kitties who get quite stressed with transport so I’ve opted for twice daily home visits, which is more expensive per day but still a great value when you consider that she spends quality time with them in addition to the feeding/litter box scooping needs. Plus it’s worth a lot to be able to trust someone wholeheartedly with your house key/alarm code. She really goes above and beyond while the cats are in her care and in general once you’re a client. Hire Grit City Kitty if you can!

Sharyn took great care of our two cats while we were away. We were nervous because one cat was recovering from a serious health condition (a complete urinary obstruction) and needed close observation in case it recurred. Sharyn already had first-hand experience with that condition and knew how to handle it, plus - because our cats stayed with her, and her business is in her home - she was able to keep a really close eye on him. Both cats did really well under Sharyn’s expert care and we were very relieved and grateful. Sharyn truly knows cats and there are enormous advantages to the fact that her business is located in her home, particularly if you have a medically fragile cat who needs close attention.

I started taking my 2 Bulldogs to ComfortaBull Dog Care a couple of years ago when my youngest Bulldog Chunk was going through Chemo & my oldest dog Chewie was going through his IMHA treatments. I have taken my dogs to other kennels and they did not like it and neither did I. So, I was so happy to find out about a Bully breed only boarding place close to my home that was in a home. I immediately felt at ease with Janet and could tell that she truly loves bulldogs as much as I do! She even took my Chunk to one of his oncologist appointments and gave both my boys their meds that they needed while they were fighting their diseases. Unfortunately, Chunk lost his battle with cancer last year, but he loved Janet and her daughters. I felt relieved when I had to leave my boys at ComfortaBull dog care knowing that they would be around other bully breeds and in a comfortable home setting. If you have a bully breed don't hesitate boarding them here where they will be treated like part of the family. <3

When you're happy to drive from North of Seattle to ComfortaBULL's southern location for boarding, you know it's because there's no other place you trust more with your bully's wellbeing and safety. Rocky is so loved and well cared for at Janet's. He loves being there, and we joke (but also maybe a little serious?) that he mopes when he comes back home. Your four legged family member is in the best of care with Janet and her loving family!

Hands down the best boarding for our English Bulldog. He is loved and spoiled and loved some more. Janet follows all your dogs necessary routine and adds her magic touch with daily messages to know your fur baby is doing well. My dog loves going and Janet's girls make the experience extra special. Definitely a homey experience. The girls even know our dog out and about, Maximus knows them too!

"The fact that my dogs look forward to going there and are always excited. I never feel uncomfortable leaving them. They're well taken care of and I get daily pictures or videos and updates - it's calming." - Husband, who often worries, when asked what he likes the most about ComfortaBull. As for myself, I'm not saying I am a helicopter dog mom, but I wouldn't deny it. Our dogs likely live better qualities of life than a majority of America's youth and they receive the same treatment when away at "Camp" (Janet's). I am not exaggerating when I say our female is depressed the week following pick up - they absolutely love their time with Janet and her family. We don't have kids around often, so our dogs love the extra attention and snuggles, and selfishly I love the exposure for them. We found Janet through a social media friend in the bulldog community. I knew as soon as our meet and greet was over that our pups would be in the right hands. My husband and I were leaving for a lengthier trip abroad and once he met Janet when we dropped off the dogs, he breathed the biggest sigh of relief. Not saying he loves the dogs more than he loves me, but I am not saying he doesn't. All in all, ComfortaBULL DOG Care is an asset to the bulldog community and our bebe's forever second home. We will follow Janet wherever she goes. LOL Truly, your dog couldn't be in better care while their pawrents are away. - Whitley, Dog Mom of 2 French Bulldogs : 5.5 yo male and 4 yo female with special needs.

Janet and family are AMAZING!!!!! From taking care of our Frenchie Olive during a long out of country vacation to all the monthly get togethers to meet other bulldog owners they are the best!! I could not recommend them more!!!! Love you guys!!!!

Hi, this is Maximus Steel Blu. You can call me Max. I’m a big tri merle blue english bulldog. I love to go see Janet and her hubby and the girls. I follow Janet around the house when I’m there just like I do with my mom. Janet must be a good cook because my nose goes crazy over the smell. I always hope they will share so I sit and watch for just a little taste to drop to the floor. I love that my family takes me to Janet because there are always friends for me to play with. And the girls give me lots of love. When I’m done playing I snuggle on the couch with the adults because I’m also a lap dog. They make me feel at home when I’m not. They even have toys for me. Whenever I do something silly, Janet sends a message to my mom. I’m still a puppy so I’m kinda silly. I make the girls laugh. They even recognized me out at the park the other day and gave me loves. They love me like their own.

Janet and her family take care of my English bulldog rescue pup just like he belongs to them. He's not much into playing with the other pups but he gets to sleep in her daughter's room and wake the kiddo up in the morning. When I picked him up after his last stay there, all of her daughters wanted to give him kisses goodbye and he loved it! Janet and her family have a lovely home and take wonderful care of their visiting bulldogs. It's like leaving them with family! My only regret is that we don't live close enough for my dog to go there for daycare too!

We were SO happy to find comfortabull! We have two French bulldogs who have very different personalities and needs. Janet and her family took AMAZING care of our ladies. Her communication throughout their stay was so helpful and we loved seeing the photos and videos. Their first stay was their longest time away from us, which make us nervous but they did amazing! They came home happy and tired from playing with all their new friends. I cannot recommend Janet enough! We hope to use her in the future!

ComfortaBull Dog Care has been our go to sitter for our two English bulldogs. I was so nervous leaving my Roscoe the first time we went out of town but Janet texted me updates and photos and seeing how much fun he was having and all the love he was getting put me right at ease. Janet knows how to properly care for the bulldog bread. The best part about sending Roscoe and Cuba to ComfortaBull Dog Care is that they are part of Janet’s family. When we go to drop them off they are both excited and know exactly where they are… their “vacation home”. If you are looking for a bully sitter visit @comfortabull on IG to get a glimpse of how much fun the pups have and how loved they are. Janet also does pack walks so the pups can see some of their “stay mates” or make new friends or as mine do, follow Janet around for attention. Janet, we are so glad we found you. Roscoe and Cuba will see you soon! 💙🐶

Janet is the best!!! My dogs love going there for a stay. I feel at ease when I know she is taking care f them. Highly recommend!

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!!

I want to update my review. Liz has been my pet sitter for the past seven years. She is excellent. If you have the privilege of being able to bring your dog to Liz, I would recommend you do so. She is extremely detail oriented - If your dog has any special-needs or medications, she will follow instructions to the letter. Liz is incredibly experienced and handling dogs in a compassionate and safe manner. She’s also an excellent communicator. You will know what’s going on with your pet. She will tell you anything that seems off. You will get funny and detailed daily updates during your pet’s stay. And she works her butt off. Liz started this business back in 2016, completely on her own, and she has worked extremely hard to build a successful business. I do not have easy dogs, and I have high standards, and Liz is one of three people I trust to watch my dogs. Last year when I had a family emergency and I needed to immediately fly out of town, Liz came to my house and picked up my dogs without question and kept them for two weeks over the holiday. When my dog was in a cast, she boarded him and dealt with his exercise restrictions and special extra cast care. This is the kind of person she is. She has become part of our family over the past six years. If I could clone her, I would. Thank you Liz for all the love, care, and reliability you have brought to our lives for almost a decade. Gemma, Ruger, Louis, and Bijoux.

Elizabeth is the most dog-knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. She helped me learn to read my new dog’s behavior (as I was totally dog-illiterate, and he is a stubborn old-man schnauzer) and has cared for him as if he were her own on several occasions. She’s honest and trustworthy, and definitely the best choice for consistent, dependable pet care service.

Elizabeth is extremely responsible and detail oriented, not to mention fun and trustworthy! She goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only do I trust her with my pets, who are family to me, I trust her with my home as well. She made me feel genuinely comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and pets. Elizabeth has also been helpful and full of knowledge with medical and training advice for our cat and dog ! With our crazy schedules she has been super accommodating as well. Thanks again!

Elizabeth is thoroughly reliable, cares about the dogs in her care and has a professional understanding of dog behavior. She's also good with people. :-)

Elizabeth is a gem! She has helped us so much with our rescue who is very high energy! She is coming to our house weekly to train our dog. We are still using Elizabeth and have resolved many issues quickly. We will also use her boarding and doggy day care. She requires an assessment visit to make sure you dog is ok for boarding. Our dog had a blast on just the assessment stay. She sent pictures and a report. Very professional.

Elizabeth was our walker and trainer when we first moved to the Tacoma area a couple of years ago. She was the absolute best and took on our golden retriever puppy, Kalluk, like he was her own. She helped him learn and grow into an incredible young pup. Her reliability, professionalism, and passion for what she does is clear. We are so happy she opened her own business!

Elizabeth has quickly become the only person besides myself & my family that I trust to watch my dog. He is a 1.5 year old standard poodle, full of energy, and can sometimes be a handful! I trust Elizabeth completely with him, and know that when he’s in her care he will not only be safe & taken cate of, but have a ton of fun too. That’s priceless!

My family had the most wonderful experience with Elizabeth sharing her home with our handful of a Great Dane while we vacationed. We enjoyed Elizabeth from the moment we met her. Woody made himself right at home and we never once were concerned about leaving him at her home. She made all of us feel welcome. Several photos were sent daily and always made us smile. We are already planning our next outing since we know Woody will always be in good hands with Elizabeth.

Absolutely THE BEST caregiver for your dogs - hands down! If a good fit - your fur babies will thrive in her pack. The "nanny," Elizabeth is such an attentive and compassionate professional (to both human and dog clientele.) Her knowledge, thoughtfulness to detail, and her expertise in dog training/behavior makes her second to none. Our Shiba has tried other day care centers (both in-home and large facility) but they just don't compare to Your Dog's Nanny. Trust me, our Shiba lets us know. lol Elizabeth offers structure, enrichment, love and care to your dogs - she treats them as if they were her own. Besides knowing our dog is in wonderful hands, her excellent customer service and communication skills takes her business up to the next level. Don't hesitate to contact Elizabeth. You'll be grateful you did.

Liz has been pet sitting and walking my crew since she moved out here from the east coast. I have two Dobermans, one of whom is a working dog and one of whom is fear reactive to moving cars. I do not trust the average person to competently handle my dogs and follow instructions. I do trust Liz. On the business side of things, I appreciate Liz because she is flexible, friendly and communicative. She works with my crazy lawyer schedule and I always know how my dogs are doing when she stays with them. I highly recommend her to my own friends and recommend her to you as well.
