Claire's performance as a house sitter surpassed all expectations, making her an absolute gem in the world of home and pet care. She demonstrated exceptional courtesy and communicated with remarkable clarity and promptness, keeping me informed every step of the way. Punctuality and reliability are hallmarks of Claire's service. She arrived exactly when promised and was fully prepared to manage all the responsibilities we discussed. Her proactive approach and diligent attention to detail provided immense peace of mind. Not only did Claire take impeccable care of my home, but his affectionate and attentive handling of my beloved pup, Modi, was truly heartwarming. Her updates and thoughtful notes about Modi's well-being were incredibly reassuring, making me feel connected even when I was away. Clair's meticulous care extended beyond the basics. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my home was looked after with the utmost respect and consideration. From watering plants to maintaining cleanliness, her efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly endorse Claire for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house sitter. I look forward to having her back and cannot recommend her highly enough. A solid 5-star rating is an understatement for the exceptional service she provides!
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Richard was exemplary as a house and pet sitter. He was attentive and thorough with his review of instructions, compliant with requests, provided regular home/pet updates, and maintained our home perfectly. An excellent citizen, mature house sitter and reliable.
Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

This place is the best! Wish I had discovered it sooner. Teddy LOVED it here, as proven by the energy you can see in these photos. Teddy had to stay an extra week as I got sick out of the country and couldn’t pick him up. The owner and staff were so flexible and kind, happy to continue caring for Teddy as long as I needed. His bath+ brush was done so well, too. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Beware!! Horrendous experience. As a new client I thought my small rescue dog would get one-on-one treatment, but the result was traumatic for him and me! With a 9am drop-off I called to check on him after 2-hours and was told "He had just been given a bath and was drying for another 30 minutes". Apparently, he had to sit in a cage from 9-10:30 waiting his turn, so why was I given a 9am drop-off then?! I then said to stop the appointment and immediately rushed to pick him up. **I asked to see the "work area" and this is what I observed: There was a big dog being given a bath and the "Bather" was not being gentle and had the hose on full blast, which really upset and alarmed me!! The "cage drying system" they had rigged up looks like something from outer space, with "drying vents" criss-crossed every which way across the top of the cages and fans that were loud like a car engine with the hood up. There was a poor Yorkie who was cowering in the back corner of a cage dwarfed by the huge hoses and loud fans! There were also dirty and wet towels in a pile on the fIoor! I was so alarmed and upset by what I saw and observed that I felt sick to my stomach! Got my small Jack-a-Poo rescue and got the hell out of there!! Again, Beware!
We brought our dog Sammy here yesterday and this was the BEST grooming experience we have ever had!! We are going to start coming here and also bringing our other dogs here. Highly recommend! They even made such a cute little personalized magnet with his picture on it for Christmas for our fridge! he came back looking and smelling absolutely amazing! Thank you so much 😊
Super friendly staff that does an amazing grooming on my labradoodles at a really affordable price.
Very kind staff, kitty grooming results turned out perfect and my kitty isn't so easy to work with! Thank you !
Amazing people and my dogs love them!
While on vacation, my husband ended up in the hospital. I wanted to stay with him, but we had our dog. I found Jee Jac Kennels, close to the hospital he was in. Called them up, they gladly took our dog for the night. After I picked her up, I could tell she had been well taken care of. Thank you!
I took my elderly cat there because she had a mouth sore and was unable to groom herself properly while we were waiting for the vet visit to deal with it. My cat was a tamed feral, and had never been bathed to my knowledge. They took excellent care of her, asked questions, and promised to go slowly to teach her. She was returned to me calm, clean, and happy. The bath really improved her mood for weeks. It turned out that the sore was cancer, she did not make it, but her last few weeks were really nice partly because of the excellent grooming she received and the care they took with her.
Today I came to my appointment, I have been coming to Jee Jack for two decades. A van blocked the entire bottom of the driveway and all occupants were standing outside the van. I was stuck in the roadway on a blind corner and feared being rear ended so I honked at the van to let them know I needed to get in the driveway. When I pulled into the driveway the owner came out acting like he wanted to fight and told me he didn't want my service. I apologized and explained the situation. I spend over $250 here a month for years. My family has boarded here for 30+ years. He TOLD me he didn't want my service, over a honk. These people are unstable. Spend money elsewhere. To note the groomer came out and apologized for the owner
The owner of this place is so warm, I always feel good leaving my two large dogs here for grooming and extended kennel stays. They also keep the dogs separated, and for mine that does not always play well with others, this is the ideal place to leave them. Highly recommend!
I searched high and low for a place like this for my fur babies. I usually take my dogs everywhere with me , but sadly can’t take them to Hawaii. I didn’t want to leave them just anywhere and wanted my girls to feel comfortable and loved. This place is like a home away from home. They had room to run, multiple walks and loved on. Kortney sent me photos of my girls and knew they were in great hands. I will definitely be taking my girls back knowing they are well taken care of. These are just a handful of pictures that I received during their stay.
Skagit Canine Club was wonderful! The facility and grounds are beautiful! This was our first time kenneling our pup, Cinder, and Kortney and her crew did an excellent job caring for her. The kennel facility is first class! Beautiful sleeping quarters, stalls for daytime play and indoor arena for off leash play plus daily walks on their property. Kortney texted us daily with pictures and updates, which put us at ease so we could enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands. When we picked up Cinder she was clean, exercised and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better kennel stay! We’ll be back!
I am an extremely picky parent- I usually take my babies with me everywhere, So when I can’t bring them with, I am extremely decisive about where I bring them. I could not recommend Skagit Canine Club more!! Having a high energy dog, I was thrilled to be able to add on the athlete package and lick mat and stuffed kongs for my baby while I was gone. I received pictures of my baby, roaming the woods on walks and got the cutest report card at the end with all the details of his visits throughout the day. The owner was absolutely amazing and every detail from start to finish is so thought out. They also just installed brand new 20 foot run to give the puppies more space to play and my dog absolutely loved it! DEFINITELY recommend for your fur baby!!
Can’t express enough how big of relief it is to have found Skagit Canine Club. Our dogs use to travel everywhere with us but due to our shepherd, Glacier having had multiple knee surgeries it is just too much for her and her older age anxiety to do so with us and a toddler these days. I assumed they would be taken care of but to see just how happy they were there the whole time was amazing! Not sure they even cared to come home they loved it so much! Thank you Kortney!! 🩵 🐾
My insecure dog felt so comfortable at Skagit Canine Club that she did not scratch up the door or woodwork! I dropped her off at 4:30 pm for a trial night. Kortney immediately greeted us and took Odee for a long walk on the property while I anxiously drove away. Kortney sent photos three times before the 10:00 am pick up the next day. When I returned home, I noticed Kourtney even filled out a "report card" to inform me about the overnight stay. I'm so relieved that Odee got along so well because I've booked two more stays for out of town trips without the dog.
I have had my dog for 3 years and I have never found a boarding spot I felt comfortable leaving my dog. I stumbled upon Skagit Canine Club and became instantly obsessed just from the tour. Now after having Tovee stay for 5 days, I cannot say enough good things. I got updates on her while I was gone, photos, and even the cutest report card of her stay when I picked her up today. Kortney sincerely cares about the doggos and I know for a fact this is the only place I will trust to take my dog. Attached is a photo from one of her walks. 🥰
I own a 9 year old boxer and a 3 year old border collie, and both of them have had very limited experience outside our farm. So I was a bit worried about how they would do for 5 days away from home. Freya is also quite timid and very peculiar when eating. As soon as I saw the place, I knew my dogs would do great. There is a huge arena to run around and play, very clean dog bedrooms, and great outdoors to explore. Kortney is like a dog whisperer, and both my dogs seemed very relaxed as soon as I handed them over to her. She spent time giving them physical and mental stimulation, with hide and seek for treats and walks in the woods. She sent us pictures and video with updates to let us see that the pups were doing great with their new experiences. You can tell right away by how your dogs act when you pick them up, if they had a good or bad experience. My dogs were happy and relaxed! We will bring the dogs again when we leave. I'm so happy I can go on vacation and know they are in great hands!
Our boy Brody (age 9) had his first overnight stay and he seemed to love it! Kortney sent us photos several times during his stay to keep us updated and it really put our minds at ease. The facility is clean and well kept and you can see the care she puts into it. We’ve already put in our reservations for Brody next visit and I know he’ll be so excited as soon as we pull onto the grounds. We appreciate the care and attention he received there!
Skagit Canine Club came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and we are so glad we listened! We've had two fantastic experiences with Kortney. Our pup was a little young but Kortney accommodated him, and both dogs had a blast. It can be a bit nerve-wracking to leave beloved pets with a stranger, but Kortney exceeded our expectations in every way. The online registration is easy, and the check-in process at the kennel is simple yet thorough. The facility is brand-new and beautiful, with many thoughtful touches that convey the care Kortney puts into her business. We love the add-on services like frozen lick mats, treat bowls and senior-dog one-on-one time. Kortney is meticulous in collecting vet records and pet peculiarities/preferences. Her attention to such detail provides reassurance to uneasy pet owners! She communicates often and easily, and we especially appreciated the daily photos, videos and updates. Kortney provides many activities to keep the dogs occupied and happy, and both our pup and our senior dog were engaged. We love seeing how Kortney integrates her children into the dogs' care, and it made us happy to know that our dogs got plenty of love and attention. She easily managed both dogs' medications and even administered eye drops to our wiggly pup. Our senior dog developed a minor hot spot on her last visit, and Kortney handled it swiftly and effectively. I'm confident that she can handle any medical issue or emergency that may arise. We loved getting the report card at the end of our visit, and for both stays, each item we sent was carefully packed up and returned. Kortney is easy to work with and genuinely cares about the pets who stay with her.
First time boarding our 3 year old "Velcro" dog. All the reviews, pre boarding information and our meet and greet were very reassuring that he'd be in good hands. We were still apprehensive about how he'd react. Daily progress reports let us know he was doing great, indeed better than expected. Boarders get lots of 1 on 1 attention and multiple outings a day. The facility is top notch. And Kortney is the best, very empathetic, pays strict attention to safety, our concerns, and his individual quirks. Can't thank you enough, and we'd most definitely avail ourselves of your excellent care in the future if the need arises!
I can't say enough good things about the boarding and daycare facilities. Immaculately clean and very friendly staff just to start. Our dog goes to daycare 3-4 times a month and he is always so excited to go. On hot days they put out little kid's pools which my dog loves. We just had him boarded for the first time for a week. The location is a gorgeous country setting with lots of grass, shade and room to run. I don't think my dog wanted to come home. Highly recommend them.
We live bringing our girls here. They are always ready to show up. They post pictures which is fun to see when we're away. I live that they get to be out with other dogs and not in their kennel all day.
Friendly staff, my GSD hates to leave. If you need your dog to have fun and get worn out for the day/s, this is the place. Never had an issue with any other dogs. Highly recommended DCP, they are awesome.
We love Doggy Come Play! The only draw backs for me personally is the main room where they hang out during the day is pretty bare, and if you give them your pups leash or bowl you will absolutely not get the same one back, but my girl is always so excited when she sees the door and comes home completely tuckered out and full on treats.
It pains me to write this review because my dogs enjoy Doggy Come Play but a recent interaction with the owner made it clear that providing future patronage to this business is not possible. Disclaimer: This review is 100% about the owner as I have historically found the staff to be friendly, helpful and affectionate towards my dogs. I purchased a 10 day, 2 dog package for $460 a while back but did not use it for a long period of time. My wife and I were putting more of an emphasis on our health and chose to do walks with our dogs instead of taking them to daycare but planned on resuming in the future. During this hiatus, Doggy Come Play underwent a system upgrade and for whatever reason, my $460 credit did not transfer over and appeared to be voided. This issue was brought to the attention of DCP on a few occasions over the span of multiple months via phone calls and emails but with no informative response or resolution. After bringing my dogs in this last week, I got the opportunity to talk in person to Aaron, the owner. Instead of approaching the situation with professional and productive intentions, Aaron immediately went on the defensive and was confrontational. Though not listed in any of the available DCP policies, Aaron informed me that packages are voided after a year if not used (God forbid you have to leave the area to take care of family or are in the military and deployed for a year). There was no apologies or accountability taken on any level for the lack of record keeping or communication and he went out of his way to shift the blame on me whenever possible to the point of ridiculousness (apparently it was my problem he never responded to calls and emails and I should have known to come into DCP to talk in person). I can’t in good conscience continue to take my dogs to DCP with ownership this lacking in character. Ultimately, this was a minor financial issue but the reaction and the way it was handled was very telling. I’d hate to be involved with them in a more serious situation such as one of my dogs getting hurt because I wouldn’t be able to trust that their response would be honest and in good faith. After viewing previous reviews, I’m far from the only one who’s had such an experience. I believe that this cavalier attitude towards customer service by the ownership is born out of lack of competition. They’re the only dog daycare in town and they know it. Maybe if other options become available, they’d think twice about the way they talk to paying customers.
My dog usually doesn’t like doggie daycare but she enjoys Doggie Come Play! She looks forward to the treats coming and going. I also really like the employees. They are each unique in their own way. So I know my baby is getting well rounded care!
I cannot express how much my lulu loves it here! She’s got all her doggo friends there and the staff! Omg she loves so much!! She’s always so excited to get out the car! I can’t imagine taking her to any other place!!
Great place! The pupper loves going here! Prices are reasonable and even better if you purchase a package. Staff is super friendly and caring.
My puppy had a wonderful time on her first day here! She was so happy and exhausted from a fun day of play. We will definitely be bringing her in for regular playtimes. I'm hoping to try out the overnight boarding sometime this summer. The place was clean and cheerful, and the staff were all friendly and happy to help. You can tell that they truly care for every dog that comes in.
This is hard to write I do not like to give 2 stars but this is my experience. I filled out All the information on line Then I went in to find out why I did not get a phone call or anything to schedule a time for are dog to have a meeting n greet. I went in and We scheduled a time and day. I told the gentleman that was there that I don't get off work till 230 so we would have to do it after he agreed. I even got off work early to make sure I would get there at 230 pm. That day we where supposed to have the appointment I get a phone call from them saying that are meeting greet was canceled I was like what ?? So I called them back and I believe it was the same gentleman he said that it was canceled because we did not show I explained that I told the gentleman the day before that I do not get off work till 230 then he got an attitude over the phone saying how they don't take dogs after 130 then he asked rudely what time I go to work I said 6 am he said oh well we will just drop the meetngreet and still keep your reservation I said oh okay are you sure I don't want anymore miss communication he said no its fine. Then a couple hours later I get a notification that are scheduled dates for boarding are Canceled. Sadly I will be going somewhere else that fact they only have certain hours and lie to you about a time sorry if not everybody has a 9-5 job. I was really hoping to bring my dog there.
Claudia at Happy Paws is the best place to board your dog! We recently had our two labs, Homer and Lloyd stay with Claudia for 10 days. They were taking care of very well, they were so happy to be there. It was such a huge relief to be away, knowing our boys were happy. She sent us a daily report on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort to anyone looking for great pet care! Below are photos we received from our daily reports.
We are grateful to have such a loving, safe, and relaxing environment for our dog Kona while we were away. Happy Paws Inn & Resort is truly the best! Claudia gets to know her clients well, she pays special attention to each dogs' needs and creates an environment for all to succeed. You know you're in the right place when you pick up your dog and he is healthy happy, and a better all around doggie citizen!
We were so relieved to discover Claudia at Happy Paws to take care of our special needs rescue mutt, who is a sweetheart but is insecure and reactive. After thoroughly learning about his behavior and needs, she accepted him for exclusive overnight care. When we left him for his first trial night, we were skeptical he would be able to adjust, but Claudia is a true dog person because he settled right in with her in her comfortable doggy-centric home. She sent us multiple updates during the 24-hour period, reassuring us he was doing well and asking clarifying questions to ensure his happiness and comfort. Claudia is a gem and we highly recommend her for doggy care needs!
We highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort. we left our golden doodle, Beau with Claudia for four days and she sent pictures showing how he was getting along. It was obvious that he was having a good time. It is also obvious that Claudia cares about each dog she takes care of.
We can't say enough good about our dog's stay with Claudia. This was his first time away from us, and he couldn't have been happier. Claudia helped him adjust, relax, eat, play with the other dogs, and cuddle with her. The walks she took him on were safe and interesting, the other dogs that stayed at the same time he was with her were a great match. I love that she understood our dog and his needs so well. I highly recommend Happy Paws and Claudia. It was perfect for our dog who needs stimulation, safety, and also a home environment. Thank you, Claudia!
Claudia has watched my dog a number of times, as she takes wonderful care of him. He is always happy to go over there, and I have total peace of mind when I travel knowing that he’s having fun! I would highly recommend Claudia if you need dog sitting - she is kind, friendly, and very professional. Additionally, she cares for the dogs as though they were her own, taking the time to really bond and connect. Highly recommend! :)
There is truly no better caretaker for your pup than Claudia with Happy Paws Inn and Resort! She's loving, responsible, and will make your dog feel right at home. We are so grateful to Claudia and would make a trip to the Olympic Peninsula just so our pup could stay with her again!
Claudia is the most loving, wonderful human for our dog and we're grateful to have her here in Port Townsend. She takes the best care of our high maintenance/anxiety ridden older pup- we get lots of updates and sweet photos during his stay, and he always comes home absolutely exhausted and happy. He also knows what street she lives on and gets excited any time we drive by. :) Highly recommend Happy Paws!
As a bit of an anxious pet parent I was able to relax knowing our rambunctious pup was in great hands with Claudia. She sent daily updates and went out of her way to provide play dates for Hugo. I highly recommend Happy Paws Inn & Resort!
Happy Paws is a serene and beautiful vacation spa where my Labradoodle (Lola) gets personalized attention, long walks in the country, daily pictures, home made chicken broth mixed with her kibble and sleep induced snuggling in the owners bed. Lola even comes back smelling clean! Happy Paws is a happy place for your dog.
