We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda
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!

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!
Kate watched both my dog (Todd) and my sister’s dog (Lenny) at my home over a long holiday weekend. Both being labradoodles, they are energetic and can be a handful. Not only was she able to provide updates and photos each day, she handled them with amazing skill. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. I will definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to other family and friends!
Kate is simply the best. We trust our Charlie girl with her and know that she cares about Charlie as much as we do. It makes me so happy and relieved to know that Charlie has a sitter who loves her so much and takes such great care of her when we can't be with her. Kate takes her on hour long walks and takes photos of her every time for us. The best part is that Charlie is smiling in all of them! I would highly recommend Kate and I'm so glad we found her!
My wife and I found Kate & Wagnolia thru Google, after our sitter-at-the-time found another job. She's been great with our energetic (handful) Doberman puppy and adult English Setter. Appreciate her text updates and flexibility with our family's schedule. Thankful for all of her help!
The owners are friendly to us and our dogs. They are more attentive than other dog boarding companies and took very good care of our 8 month puppy who is still learning to be social. The owners updated us with a video of our dogs every day while we were traveling.
This was our pup's first time being boarded, so we were a little nervous. Kate came highly recommended. I knew when I dropped our pup off, he was in good hands! I got daily photos and/or videos, he looked so happy, and that helped us enjoy our vacation. Glad to have found trusted, high quality care for our dog. We will definitely use Magnolia again!
Kate is amazing with my senior bulldog, Gigi. I travel extensively for work and I leave knowing that Gigi is well cared for and given lots of love. Kate is very responsive to texts and I appreciate all her pictures of my pup while I am gone. Quite simply you will find no better sitter in the area, I highly recommend Kate!
We recently found Wagnolia Petsitting and are so grateful. Kate has been absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog and cat. We always feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We get so many cute pictures and our pets are always happy.
Kate takes great care of our two dogs when we are out of town. She sends us updates and is quick to respond to us if we have any questions. It feels great to not have to worry about our dogs when we are away. Definitely recommend Wagnolia!
I would only trust Wagnolia with my pets! My dogs love Kate and her team! It’s the best feeling when you have to leave your animals with someone that you LOVE and your pets LOVE even more! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies and treating them like they are your own! I would recommend Wagnolia 100%. Hank and Kathy love you guys!
Kate is an excellent sitter. We’ve know her for 2 years now. Our two dogs (one elderly, one young) and cat all love her! She is super responsible and an excellent caretaker. We contact her first when we are looking for care needs!
Erik has taken excellent care of our large greyhound since we adopted our pup in March. Greyhounds can be shy and aloof to strangers, but Erik seems to have a natural intuition in engaging with my dog; this is evident during our first meeting, and our boy has maintained a bond with Erik ever since. My significant other and I both have highly demanding jobs, and Erik has been blessing to us especially in caring for our energetic boy both during the day and sometimes overnight home stays. He pays great attention to details, has been flexible with scheduling, and always provide timely updates to let us know how our dog is doing. I knew our pup was in great hands when we arranged a week-long overnight stay with Erik. We have been incredibly pleased with how professional, communicative, and passionate Erik is about taking care of our pup.
Erik is GREAT. My little pup really looks forward to her walks with Erik.
One of the most compassionate and experienced person that I have ever met. Harley (my doggie) looks for Eric on the weekends. He truly is the animal whisperer. This is Harley the Great Dane
Erik does great with our German Shepherd puppy! He is reliable and trustworthy. We never have any concerns about our baby or the house when Erik is coming in and out. I have and will continue to recommend his services. I especially appreciate the pics he sends when he is there with her-it helps to see her so happy!
I love Erik and have been using him for years. We had a new rescue this year and even on the first visit he quickly acclimatised even though he was nervous with men specifically. I never have any doubts leaving my dogs with Erik.
Erik has helped me take care of my pet Blue and Gold Macaw and our family cat off and on for the past three years. He has been very reliable and trustworthy! We had long vacations where he needed to help us daily and he made friends with our very shy cat and was able to tend our parrot making our vacation worry free. Thank you Erik for your service!
Erik has watched our two cats twice now. Both times for four days. One of our cats has asthma and needs an inhaler. Erik has been able to give her this medication with ease and we are so grateful! We have been so impressed with this service. He is prompt and kind. Very communicative. The price is extremely reasonable. This most recent trip, we accidentally got the days wrong and he was able to accommodate! The cats really like him. Professionalism is at a 10! We will definitely hire him whenever we’re out of town and we recommend him to anyone!
My dogs love Erik! The are full of excitement when they see him arrive. He is very dependable and professional! I have two high energy dogs that Erik handles with ease. I highly recommend him!
We highly recommend Erik (Crazy Dog Man) for pet sitting. We have a large black lab/pit bull/Great Dane mix (Harley) that is a rescue, abused as a pup many years ago. He is therefore apprehensive around new people and takes awhile to gain trust. When Harley met Erik earlier this year, he took to him right away. Erik respects and understands Harley and his needs, especially now that he is a senior dog and has health issues. Erik stays at our house when we are on vacation and the occasional weekend, and provides Harley with exceptional care, including all his medications. Erik is definitely in tune with dogs, no matter their size.
Erik is very capable, conscientious and caring. My three horses and one donkey can be a handful but Erik handled them beautifully. He also did a great job of keeping their stalls, paddock and arena clean. I have recommended him to my friends, because they know I’m very particular about the quality of my pet family’s care. Erik provides that level of care!
I have been a very happy client of Hot Dawg Pet Care since 2018. I appreciate that their services can be tailored to meet our pets' varying needs, from short visits to longer visits to manage our current blended cat family who do not get along and require very special handling. Tamara and her crew have been there for us through multiple pets, homes, and evolving needs, and I recommend them highly.
The level of care that Tamara gives to her animal clients is unmatched. I don’t know of many people who care as much as she does. She does this because she loves what she does and it’s important to her that animals are treated with kindness & respect. I highly recommend.
Tamara is fantastic! She takes a personal interest in each of our kitties, and makes sure they get the attention and love they deserve when we are away from home.
These guys are the best and I'm picky who I entrust my dogs with. They treat them like family and are very thoughtful
We have hired Totally Tails Pet Care Services to take care of our two indoor cats many times over the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased. We receive daily email photo updates along with thorough, detailed reports while we are gone. We know they get plenty of attention and affection because our cats are always cheerful and calm when we get home with no signs of separation anxiety. Thank you Michele for your great service!
Totally Tails Pet Care Services has provided excellent, caring and reliable dog walking/pet care five days a week for the last year for our two Golden Retrievers (our dogs are now one year old and nine years old). Our family is so impressed with the level of service and professionalism provided by Totally Tails Pet Care! I highly recommend them! The daily pictures of our pets, which they email us, are just the best. It is so reassuring to know that our furry family members are well cared for while we are at work.
I hired Totally Tails to watch after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I knew I didn’t want to kennel them, so I was excited about someone coming to my home to feed, exercise, and care for my pups. Not only do they do a fantastic job of exercising the dogs they sent DAILY photos and follow-ups of their health and progress. These reports made me feel very comfortable with Totally Tails. They also rotated indoor lighting so as to give the impression that someone is always home. Superb service! Beats kenneling when your pups are in their home environment. I will contract with them again!
When it comes to Totally Tails, I have nothing but positive things to say. We trust the entire team completely and know that our dogs are in great hands when we're away. Even if our regular sitter isn't available, there is always someone on standby to ensure our pups receive all the love and attention they need. Ramona runs her business with precision and ease, making scheduling and communication a breeze. We feel lucky to have Totally Tails in our dogs' lives and highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care services.
This was the best pet care service we have ever experienced. An excellent value. The daily 30-minute visit was packed with focused attention to our cat's specific needs: food, medication, daily litter box cleaning, brushing, play time with treats, supervised outdoor deck time (indoor cat), and loving lap petting time. We received a daily review with pictures that served as both comfort and joy to us while we were away. Absolutely reliable. Knowledgeable about animal care. Loving and attentive. Professional. Responsible. Attentive to detail. Michele made sure we provided for unanticipated problems prior to leaving so our bases were covered in any event. THE BEST. We came home to a calm, happy, well cared for cat.
As fellow pet care providers we are quite picky who we leave our pack with should we go out of town. Ramona took care of a large zoo of animals (game birds, fish, Guinea pigs, and dogs). Her updates were thorough, and we came home to a clean house and happy animals. If you need a professional you can trust, you've found one here. Part of why we never leave town is not having had anyone we felt comfortable leaving them with, but now we do!
I love Michelle! We trust her implicitly with our dog and home. She goes above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans and packages when she's at our home for a dog visit. She sends us texts and pictures of our dog so we know she's taken care of. And she insists you text her that you're back home so she's assured your pet is safe. That's excellent care! Highly recommend her!
Camano Pet Sitters hav been taking care of my two Springer Spaniels for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I have the peace of mind of knowing that my dogs are being loved and cared for when I have to be gone during the day. I don't know what I would do without Michele, Pat and their crew of dog lovers. I highly recommend them for you and your pet!
I was stressed, four sorta feral cats and I had to take a trip. My vet said boarding was a bad idea because none of them would adjust well - in addition to being expensive. Camano Pet Sitters to the rescue! Not only did they do a professional job I think they made headway with my cats who were actually peeking out at them by the end of the week. I cannot recommend Camano Pet Sitters highly enough - they are now my go to folks when I have to travel. My neighbors, who travel regularly, were so impressed by the level of professionalism and caring my pets received they will be switching to Camano Pet Sitters.
I’ve never felt compelled to write a Google Review before but I need to sing Thomas’ praises! Truly one of the best caretakers and services I’ve ever experienced. Not only is excellent about staying in touch (reminder texts, checking in about anything around the house that seems amiss, sending pictures when he visits), I can tell that our cats absolutely love him. We have one outgoing kitty and one shy one, but when Thomas sends photos it’s so clear that the cats are having fun and are enjoying their time. Showing their bellies, playing, etc.! And Thomas’ pet photography is unmatched. I don’t know what we would do without him!
Thomas is a great pet sitter. Very caring, reliable and professional! He is wonderful with our kitties. Even our shy kitty greets him when he comes to care for them. Thomas was very thorough in the information that he gathered to care for our kitties and home. He reconfirms scheduled services a few days in advance, sends emails and pictures when caring for the kitties and asks that we notify him upon our return so he knows that we're home to take care of everything again. We've been very pleased with Thomas' services and will continue to ask him to care for our kitties. We highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for quality pet care services. Your pets will thank you!
Thomas is a great pet sitter! While we were on vacation, he sent us emails containing photos of our cats. Our house was clean, and he did everything so well! Very professional, would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter. Thanks to you Thomas for taking care of our kitties!
Update May 2023: We picked back up with Thomas after the pandemic and his service is still wonderful. Excellent care for our cats, one of whom has a complex care routine. We've used Thomas four times since November and it's been awesome. On our most recent trip, we were delayed and had to ask for one more visit at the last minute. Thomas was flexible and accommodating. It made an already stressful situation much easier! Five stars. Original review: This was our first time using a professional pet sitter to look after our two adult cats--and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our experience started with a home visit so that we could meet Thomas and he could meet our cats. Thomas was very accommodating of our schedules and agreed to meet on a Friday evening. His first move was to crouch down and meet our cats at their level. He treated them respectfully and non-threateningly. Then, he talked with us for about thirty minutes about our needs, our normal procedures, his normal procedures, etc. At the end of the meeting, we felt confident that he would take the responsibility seriously. He even had a number of general pet care tips that he shared with us that we hadn't heard before. A few days before we left, Thomas texted to confirm his first visit and make sure our travel plans hadn't changed. It was good to be assured that our cats were still on his radar. While we were gone, Thomas visited every day to feed and play with our cats, as well as scoop their litter boxes (daily) and water plants (per our instructions). He played with the cats more diligently than we probably do, and emailed us pictures of each day's adventures. He also left daily notes about what he'd done, what the cats were up to, etc. He even brought a few tried-and-true toys to supplement the toys we'd left. It was heartwarming to see photos of our kitties from thousands of miles away, and we were comforted to know that somebody was paying real attention to them. The day of our return, Thomas texted to make sure we were still on schedule. The plan was that if we didn't confirm that we were home, Thomas would keep visiting so that our kitties would be cared for. It made us feel good to know that if our flight was delayed--or cancelled--he would keep on taking care of the cats. We will absolutely use Pet Sitters by the Bay again when we travel. Peace of mind for a very reasonable price!
Thomas is such a wonderful pet sitter. He really took excellent care of our senior poodle, who takes medications night and day and is a picky eater as well. Thomas went out of his way to make sure she ate her food and was more than willing to carry her down the flights of stairs from our apartment because she has a weak leg. He sent us many updates during our trip so we know she was well cared for, and was very easily reached and attentive. We will absolutely be using Thomas again when we travel, and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!
We feel very fortunate to have found Thomas!!! While we were out of town, Thomas sent us an email with photos of our cat during each visit. Our apartment was immaculate when we returned home (wow!!!). It was obvious Bernadette had been extremely well taken care of (her toys were even in her favorite places). What a huge relief to be able to go away and know that Thomas will be our pet sitter and look after our little girl and our apartment!!! Thank you very much Thomas!!!!
Just used Pet Sitters by the Bay to care for my four cats over several days and couldn't be more pleased by the service provided by Thomas! Making the arrangements was easy and the paperwork I had to fill out was straightforward and not hard since it was my chance to talk about my cats and their preferences. I was also very impressed by the professionalism of Thomas in having back up plans in case of emergencies. I also really enjoyed getting photos of my cats emailed to me while I was away, and also showed me Thomas' amazing skill in easily handing my cat's various personalities (and idiosyncrasies). I highly recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay to anyone looking for quality pet care at affordable prices!
Thomas was amazing. Our cat couldn't have had better care and we suspect misses Thomas' morning visits! His daily reports and photos were a lovely treat each day of our trip. Highly recommended.
Thomas was very professional and friendly, and did a great job with my cat. He met me for an initial consultation to get to know my pets and fill out paperwork, and my two animals -- even my shy dog who is afraid of everyone -- immediately took to Thomas. The day before my cat sitting appointment, Thomas sent me a confirmation email, and while he was at my place, he did everything we agreed on and even vacuumed around the litter box. He left a cat calendar for me to keep, and emailed me to make sure I was back home and my cat was doing okay. I definitely recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay!
Thomas was very professional and took wonderful care of our pets! We have a cat and a dwarf rabbit. Thomas came over to feed them, play with them and do some maintenance cleanup every day while we were away (for 8 days). During that time, he sent us 3 email updates with pictures of our critters, so we had no worries during our trip. When we returned home, there were detailed notes about what went on during each of his visits (plus some new catnip toys for our kitty!). He also brought in our mail every day - no extra charge. Thomas was great and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We'll definitely be using his services during our next vacation.
Lovely dog boarding location out in the flats. They are very caring of our pet with epilepsy, making sure she gets all meds at the correct times, asking if they need special precautions. I do wish they would accept credit cards instead of cash or check, especially since you can then pay by credit card at the daycare building. Seems odd. But they are wonderful, clean, and caring! Great value for the cost.
The place is amazing. The people are so kind very good people. The entire property is immaculately clean. I had the best experience I walked away with the perfect for Leo. I don't think I'd ever go anywhere else.
This was our first time boarding our dog Glaze. She had so much fun on her 2 day stay she had to spend a day recovering from her play vacay! Thanks to all who tired her out. This is a great set up on a really nice piece of property in Bow, WA. Price $40 per day includes feeding, play time, supervision and company. Need to pay in cash or check. So glad we found a place that we trust and our dog likes!
Everything was great. Our dog was very happy to stay and sad to leave, I think. It is a little pricey, but worth it for the attention and the dogs get to play together, which is awesome.
We’ve been bringing our dog here for years and she is always so happy when she gets dropped off and worn out and happy when picked up. We always feel safe traveling knowing she’s staying with them. Staff and everyone is just wonderful and you can tell genuinely care about each of the dogs. Highly recommend.
Everyone is so great here. My dog is always worn out and happy when I pick him up. I wish he was equally excited to be dropped off but he does not like men and gets super scared if a woman isn't the one to check him in. I just wish there were more women working on the boarding side as there are at the day care. My boy LOVES daycare and barely waits to get out of the car when we pull into the parking lot.
Tried for the first time recently. Unfortunately our dog had to stay for 11 days, as we flew to visit family. We had no idea, but apparently, our dog is TERRIFIED of trains- be warned- if your dog doesn't like trains or loud noise, the tracks are about 20 ft from the dog play yard. Our dog panicked the first day, first train, they said she ran hard into the chain link fence and cut a big gash on her head. So, they said she couldn't be in the yard playing with dogs, they had to keep her in her own run. My main complaint- as we had no idea the train would be an issue- is they didn't communicate any of this. We assumed our dog was happy while we were away. Not until I showed up (jet-lagged) to retrieve her did we learn of the problems and see the big scab on her head. 🤨😢
We've been boarding our terriers here for 7 years. We're always concerned about safe, attentive care since our dog is family. Joan did our dog's obedience training years ago. When I saw the owner work with the dogs, I knew my dog would get good care.
Love that I can make reservations on line. My two sibling male dogs can board together and staff seem to recognize them after boarding there several times. wish though that owners seemed happier when bringing my beloved family members to stay for a few days rather than looking like I just brought them more work. They have nice evening and weekend hours which is convenient. Kennels were always clean or in process of being cleaned Appreciated that they require current proof of vaccination ( s).
I boarded my older Rotty here several times. On the plus side they were willing to take a breed that several refused to keep and discriminated against. She always came home well fed and seemingly happy. I will complain that she always came home with at least one paw pad rubbed raw. And when I say that I mean pink and bleeding. Also it seemed that it didn't matter how much food or treats I gave them, I never got anything back. The last time I boarded her there I informed them that my dog was terminally ill and they acted like they didn't want to take her. Not only that but they said she was aggressive during her visit which is very unlike her. Even when I she didn't get her pain meds my dog as not aggressive. This appears to be like most boarding places the plus being that they are let out to play with other dogs. If your dog doesn't play well with others I'd avoid it.
I LOVE Hyline. And my Sydney (German Shepherd/Akita mix) LOVES it too. I absolutely have trust in the workers, my baby comes home happy and having played well, they have a lot of extra services available, and she gets her grooming there as well. After trying another place in town where Sydney would leave panicked and stressed out (wouldn’t eat sometimes for days after) it is a relief to know she is cared for so well at Hyline. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you Hyline. Oh, and they send the best pics!!
Hyline is a great facility if you’re looking for boarding your dog while out of town. As a daily daycare it wasn’t what I thought. Dogs are in kennels for most of the day and let out for 15 min to play and do their business… for my 5 month old she deff needs more interaction with other dogs and play time. The staff was very nice and she did have fun.
Awesome service from the personnel at Hyline Hotel, they did an amazing evaluation of our beasts, put them in a play group with 5 other dogs and submitted photos. Both our dogs looked so happy to be there, our female who is more vocal talked all the way home about the fun she had. Huge difference from previous daycare, won’t mention names. Hyline Hotel is the BEST!
Hyline is definitely one of the best doggy daycare facilities I have ever taken my dog too! My dog had the best time with other daycare goers and the handlers/staff of the company. Keep up the great work! My dogs tail never stopped wagging from how much fun he had! :)
I've used Hyline Hotel for years, both for daycare and boarding. The staff are great, friendly and welcoming and really care about giving the dogs their best. One local trainer told me that Hyline is the only kennel that she would use. They are terrific.
Guys, my cat is absolutely psycho when it comes to grooming her or trimming her nails. I don’t know how they managed to turn her sassy self into a mini lion with the cutest mane and floofy tail, but they did. Have a cat or dog that needs grooming.. just take them there already. Don’t think twice.
I was very impressed with Hyline Hotel for Dogs. Our two dogs were there over thanksgiving week and we received daily updates and photos. When we picked our girls up, they were very happy to see us and napped in the car on the way home - a sign they were content with their stay and well cared for. Everyone at Hyline was super friendly and the whole check in and out process was very streamlined. Thanks again!
Friendly, kind, compassionate and thorough daycare for our Harry. The staff are always keeping a open line of communication and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. I don't ever worry about our dogs when they are at Hyline.
Our young dog was very nervous the first couple of daycare visits, but Hyline made sure to pair her with other dogs she played well with and by the time we needed to board her there, she was confident and comfortable. They kept her safe and as happy as possible being in a different environment and I would recommend them to others as well as use them again. They are responsive and organized and kept us updated.
I have to admit that I was so nervous about leaving our dogs before leaving on a vacation. I had never left them before and a neighbor told me about how great Hyline is. We made reservations for our pups online (a really easy and straightforward process) and, from the moment that we made the reservations, Hyline responded immediately and cheerfully to any and all questions or concerns I had. Also, when I was checking them in, I had a zillion questions and each one was answered with great patience and in great detail. It was really encouraging to know that such great people would be taking care of the dogs. During their stay, we received texts and emails daily with photos of and messages about the dogs, which was so great! The dogs looked like they were having so much fun (!) playing with the other dogs and playing ball and exercising. What a great place to bring your dogs! We will definitely bring Arrow and Bella back to Hyline for our next trip. Great place and great people who truly care about your dog's needs! Highly recommend!
