Roger and Moira had a difficult sit for us . . . with a variety of personal and housesitting issues that they had to problem solve. Being a couple they were able to accommodate requests from the previous sit for an extended sit, and the next sit for an earlier start, while still accommodating our needs. They kept in communication with us on a regular basis, and we were able to work through a few difficulties as they arose. We got regular updates, and at no time had any concerns for our dog or our property. We returned home to a very happy dog, and a clean and tidy house and yard. I would not hesitate to have Roger and Moira sit for us again!
This is a completely honest review. I heard that TH reviews are often "dressed up" on both sides. This is not, and I hope that it will be helpful. Debby and Mark were the greatest dog and house sitters I can imagine. For three weeks - and three weeks can be a very long time to sit for someone - they took care of our two (very strange) dogs and our home. They managed things when the water heater failed unexpectedly, requiring them to shower at the guest house and to do without hot water at the main house. Two plumbing emergencies, with the latter requiring a wait until our scheduled return. Not an inconvenience they signed up for.... They sent photos to us almost daily of our two puppy-mill rescues, and took the extra time and effort to coax the dogs into interacting with them. The older dog - 10 years - recently had abdominal surgery for having ingested a rock; they took her to the vet to have her sutures removed (as this couldn't happen until two days into our absence). Before our return, they washed these (sweet but squirrly) pups. Most of all, it's obvious that the dogs were treated lovingly, as per their easy adaptation to having us home. Debby and Mark did the laundry and dishes, and cleaned off their cabinet shelves and fridge shelves/drawers before our return. In fact, they cleaned everything so well that I can't tell they were here. Did they bring their own hand soap? Ours is still full. I prepped supplies and the house for them - but can't tell that anything was used. I am so incredibly grateful to Debby and Mark. I hope they get wonderful invitations to fabulous destinations. And I hope they'll stay in touch with us - as housesitters and as friends. Please feel free to contact me at any time for a verbal verification of this review.

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!
Our boy Rico attended Brittney’s pack for a while. He loved it, he’d come home tired and happy. We always felt like he was well taken care of. He is a puppy and Brittney definitely tried her best to accommodate to his puppy needs. He even injured his tail because he was too happy, got “happy tail” one day. He is a little menace and tried to jump over the fence a couple times which caused him to injure his leg but Brittney was always very transparent and informed my husband and I. If your dog isn’t a little menace like ours you should totally go with Brittney’s outstanding business, the puppies have plenty of room to play and they will be loved and cared for. We will miss Brittney’s dog house very much.
If anyone out there is looking for a place that will love your four-legged fur baby like it was their own. Brittany‘s dog house is the place to go not only do they do doggy daycare. They have boarding and they do grooming. I have done all three and you will be incredibly happy with either service you choose to use
Brittney is spectacular! I brought my puppy to her daycare over a year ago and just recently used her for boarding with my 2 dogs who are 1 and 3. My younger girl was a rescue from Mexico and she is very cautious around everyone but she loves dogs, I told Brittney my fears as we would be over 5 hours away with no cell service and she took excellent care of my babies. She helped me out when I didn't bring enough food and she kept me updated with pictures as a bonus! Great prices and always a great experience. so grateful to have a place i trust my dogs to go.
Brittney is amazing! She’s been watching our 3 dogs for 3 years now. We have her drop in on our pups on days my husband and I both work, we also have her help out when we go on vacation. She’s also dropped everything to take one of our dogs to the vet when my husband and I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t recommend her more. Our dogs love her. She’s super communicative and sends us lots of pictures when we are on vacation. We know our dogs are in good hands with her.
Brittney is literally the sweetest person! I searched high and low for a place to let my baby boy Boston have someplace to hang out at during the day while his Dad & I have to work. He is a 7 month old rottweiler that isnt neutered, so not a single place would even bother to acknowledge him or agree to meet him because he didnt meet their "requirements." Well Brittney didnt even hesitate to invite him over for a meet and greet with her pack of pups to see if Boston would fit in with her crew. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and how much she cares for her pack. My boy has been going to her place for daycare for about 2 weeks now and I cannot be happier about how excited he gets as soon as we turn into her lane. He sees her and he goes nuts, that's how I know she is amazing. Because dogs know when they are loved and cared for, and will show it ❤ She sends me updates (because I'm one of those hover moms that worries about everything) and even sent me pic updates to put my mind at ease. if you are looking for a place to bring your pup to burn off some energy, look no further. You will not regret trusting Brittney with the care of your pets.
We LOVE Brittney’s dog house! My dogs get so excited to stay with her, and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone!
The best daycare and boarding for your dogs in Pierce County!
This is my niece & she is fantastic with animals. I highly recommend her. She and her soon to be husband have customized their home to accommodate a great pet facility. You won’t be disappointed.
Hi Vivian! I noticed you rated my business a 4 out of 5 stars and I was wondering if you could comment on this? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of caring for your pets. Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve your rating to a full five stars. Thank you!
We just moved here from California and klaus our dog needed to get groomed. I did a reservation request online and Hannah called back with availability and was able to get us in pretty quick. We told them what Klaus normally gets for a groomed and what areas he doesn’t like being touched and they were cautious of those areas. Overall it was great and klaus looks amazing! We will definitely be back.
A great place for your pets. I’ve need using PB for about 5-6 yrs and never disappointed. Your pet will be well taken care of and will return happy. Highly recommend and love their social media to be able to check on how your pet’s doing during their stay. Location on JBLM so will need base access.
We were going on a trip that our puppy, unfortunately, could not come with us. We decided to trust The Pet Brigade with her care and they did not disappoint! She loved it there and had a great time. We would always get pictures and if we were worried, we could message them and they would give us an update regarding how she was doing. Their new groomer Lilly also gave our Luna her first big girl cut and we are very happy with how she looks, it is exactly the cut we asked. Overall, it was a great experience and they gave us peace of mind regarding Luna while we were on our trip. She will definitely be staying here if we have another trip in the future.
The workers here are so kind! Very good people! They groomed our miniature poodle and did an amazing job on his cut and he smells amazing :) thanks again
This place is awesome! Being away from home we love having somewhere where we feel comfortable and happy leaving Zeus because he loves being there! Boarding at the pet brigade has been really awesome- Zeus has a safe personal space where he can be around other pups comfortably, he goes to cute “paw-ties”, a quick and safe nail trim (he likes to crocodile roll and is sensitive about his feet) and comes home and snoozes for the next couple of days! We’ve boarded him here a handful of times! The team at the pet brigade has been awesome in making sure Zeus is comfy and posts the best pictures on their socials so we can keep up with him while we’re away. 10/10 facility and team!
We brought our dogs in for meeting to stay in boarding while we were headed to long awaited vacation ( with no problem ) We were required to leave a $100 deposit and dropped them off the day of vacation. They claimed one of the dogs became aggressive after we dropped them off and that we had to pick them up and we needed to make other arrangements. This was 7 hrs before our flight was taking off. We had to scramble around and found a friend to take care of them. We asked about a refund in the $100 and they said no problem. Then when we called to double check in refund they said we could only use for credit at facility……. You think I wanted to use them again?? NOPE!!! The minute we got home we found out my son’s wife had Cancer. Didn’t have time to pursue it after that. Got a reminder today 1 year later for a review….. So here it is, you asked for my review!! Have told friends not to go to this facility!!
Pet Brigade was the best dog boarding solution for Binks and I, we've never been separated since he was given to me. Four days before I had to travel for a family emergency out of the country, I found out all the requirements needed so my fur baby could travel. Couldn't find boarding! I turned to Pet Brigade, filed out all the paperwork, and the Monday morning call was the smoothest thing out of my trip. They gave me peace of mind and told me they would be expecting his arrival. It turns out I was early for 1 day and still there was no problem and they were kind. I remember saying: He's an anxious dog. Someone came, he immediately made friends with and totally forgot about me. He just wanted to go play. And play he did. He was well taken care of. He had fun. Taco tuesday? Ice Cream Social? I called and was told he was making friends with the Golden Retrievers (he has a thing for them,lol). I even got a report card full of little stars, yeah the stars they give you for good behavior in elementary. We are talking about my labradoodle, good behavior, really? Someone had fun. Pick up was not easy because my plane got delayed and I had to travel from Vancouver, B.C. Never heard a complain. All ladies were wonderful, the check out process was fast and convenient. The level of care and love for All animals, not just dogs, but cats too can be appreciated when you look at the gallery of pictures. I swear I could see a dog or two who are smiling! This is truly a home away from home. Pet Brigade was a pet resort for my labradoodle. He was happy to see me, of course, but he came back calm and happy, and not at all anxious. Our experience has been top notch and I highly recommend the Pet Brigade.
Lily is so good we followed her here! She’s great with our standard poodle, Honey. We won’t go to anyone else. The staff was very accommodating and professional. We will return again and again for all of our k-9 needs.
My puppy Mochi has gone for puppy daycare twice so far, and she is loving her experience. Staff has been very professional and courteous. I called to check in on Mochi the first day, and they said she was doing well and making friends. I know she had a full day because she was actually exhausted when she got home. Thank u pet brigade team for taking care of my Mochi!
We recently booked our pets for the holidays this year as we were traveling to see family. When we had to change plans and notified Pet Brigade two weeks later, they refused to refund our deposit! Even with a two month notification of when we needed their services, they refused! We also noticed they charge for a lot of little services like feeding dogs treats or walking them! Ridiculous! Complete money grabbing scam and will be telling my friends and Army unit teammates the same.
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!
We have been taking our pups to Shaggy Shack for years! We absolutely love the staff and the extra care that they take with our animals. This family owned and operated business exceeds expectations every single time. They take extraordinary care with dog behaviors and are experienced dealing with multiple dogs and multiple behaviors. The owners have set their dog yards up so all dogs are cared for and protected. We cannot say enough good things! We have used boarding, daycare and grooming and highly recommend Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and Spa. The Candiliere Family
Staff is great, service was great; drop-off and pick-up was quick and easy. Would recommend and will be returning.
Went to check it out for our dog, welcoming, friendly, cared, clean, they have dog or cat daycare or over night and grooming!!!
They take care of Koa like he is their own. He's been boarded here twice and have never been disappointed. Whenever we are on vacation and ask how he is doing we get an immediate response with pictures and video clips of him. He loves it here... He is always so calm when we pick him up.
Desiree at Shaggy Shack took great care of our Labradoodle when he went in for grooming, and he came back looking great. This is definitely where we're taking him.
Kicker has been attending daycare here for over 4 years now. We love it. He is such a happy boy when he knows we are doing down the long driveway to the daycare. Thank you for always tiring my puppers out. He sleeps well after daycare.
My husband and I dropped off our dog for 4 nights. She was well taken care of and we got a full report from the staff on her stay when we picked her up. She's so tired from all the playing, she had a blast! She's usually a timid dog but at the Shaggy Shack she felt right at home! Thank you guys for taking such great care of her! We will definitely be bringing her back!
The Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and the staff are amazing and provided such a great experience for my dog, Eliza. This was a new experience for Eliza and she gets nervous, however, Eliza stayed there multiple days and was so well taken care!! The staff obviously not only love dogs but are amazing at interacting with the dogs and making sure my slightly anxious dog was grouped with calmer dogs her size. I was so pleased she was able to enjoy some socialization without feeling overwhelmed. I think she had fun with the other dogs and the great staff! Charles was fabulous at keeping me apprised of her experience and I feel completely comfortable with leaving Eliza in such great hands. The staff and owner care about these dogs as individuals with their unique needs and seem to have an instinct with helping each animal to ensure they have the best experience possible. I highly recommend this well run and caring environment for anyone's pets
Justynes dog grooming is here.. my dog loves going here to her
Shaggy Shack has been great for our puppy since day 1. He's an ACD and has a ton of energy. We use Shaggy for daycare to help him get the exercise he needs during the work week. They love him like their own and he comes home exhausted. The staff is great and friendly and we've had great boarding experiences there as well when we've needed. It's like a second home for our pups!
We absolutely love Emily’s Wood Pack for our two dogs. Our dogs needed some socializing after the pandemic and they were nervous, but they made sure to communicate what days had calmer dogs, and always update with pictures. I would say they are even more affordable with boarding than other locations in the area considering how much love, attention, and space they are given. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. You can tell all the employees love the pets. Honestly amazing!
We are so happy with the care our puppy gets at Emily’s Woof Pack! It’s affordable, high-quality dog care that our pup absolutely loves. He always comes home happily exhausted after his visits, and now he even cries with excitement whenever we drive by the Walgreens nearby. The staff is incredibly professional and friendly, and I love how dog-centric the check-in and check-out process is—it makes everything easy and stress-free. Plus, the location is super convenient for anyone near JBLM, Lakewood, or Steilacoom. Highly recommend Emily’s Woof Pack for your furry family members!
Emily has always been professional, prompt and friendly. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and supportive of her pet sitting community, providing resources and referrals if she isn’t available or the right fit for your pet. She gives her heart to each dog in her care and will love them like her own while they’re in her home. She is the ONLY person we trust to care for our cats, in our home, when we travel. She sends video updates and pictures so you know your babies are happy. Bring your dogs to Emily, you won’t regret it! Oct 2021: Editing to add that we now have a very shy doodle boy who was exceptionally well cared for during his daycare visit. Emily went above and beyond answering all of my nervous dog mom questions before booking. Upon arrival, Alex and Sierra were patient with Sunny while he got accustomed and they sent several photo pupdates throughout the day. Best of all, Sunny is less nervous with new dogs and people after his ONE day running with the pack. Seriously, bring your dog to Emily’s Woof Pack.
Our Doggo loves her time at Emily’s! She made it super easy to find a day that we could come out and do a trial for a new daycare. Our dog had a great time! And Emily sent us an update on her first day to let us know she’s doing ok. Love that they have outdoor space for the doggos. Will definitely be back!
Emily has been amazing with our fur baby, Diesel. She has sat for him dozens of times over the last few years and he always comes home happy. She is great with text updates when we are out of town. We trust her with the most important thing in our lives. I cannot say enough about how much she cares about dogs and their well being. She is the best!!! Diesel loves his aunt Emily! Thanks so much...
Emily Wolf Pack has been the best decision we ever made for our dog. Our dog went to day care once a week for a few months and he was the happiest. He was always excited they day he was picked up and came home happy and tired. We never had any trouble with the team working there or with our dog while he was taken care. They are very attentive, Professional, flexible and have great communication. I will for sure recommend this place!!
You will not find a better Doggy Day Care experience than EWP. The Pack Leaders engage with the pups continuously during the day and my two come home happy and tired. This team cares about each dog individually - they are a joy to leave my fur kids with.
I am so greatful for my coworker and fellow nurse telling me about Emily's. She brings her Pups and Cat here and she could not have been more spot on for a great daycare for my Archie. He will be 5 this year and we have had our share of not good experiences at 2 other places and then we found Emily's. Professoinal, carring, kind, just the best people. You will have no worries. Just wonderful. Right acroos the street from Key Bank on Steilacoom.
I would definitely recommend Emily's Woof Pack to anyone looking for a daycare or boarding for their pups! We adopted our dog about a year-and-a-half ago and he was quite the handful. He didn't do well at a large daycare facility, and I was nervous to try again and leave him with anybody. Emily was willing to work with him and now he loves going over to her house! I love that she does overnight trials and a thorough screening process to make sure all of the dogs will get along before their first day of daycare. 10/10 would recommend 🥰🐾
Emily is a wonderful pet sitter (and human being!) and I trust her to the moon and back to give my pup excellent care. We had a lovely conversation before giving my dog a trial run at her house to figure out if my rescue dog's personality would fit in with the other dogs in the Pack. With my initial concerns about my dog's nervous and anxious behavior put to rest, I was able to leave her with Emily for 24 hours to test the waters. Emily sent photos and gave updates and determined that my dog was ready for a longer stay. Now, I'll leave my dog for her "vacation" with Emily this Christmas while I travel to visit family. <3 Emily came on high recommendation from my rescue, and I'm so glad I heard about her!
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 Tater and Tot have been going to Kissy Pet since she was just getting busy! They LOVE all the updates and play areas, they’ve done such a wonderful job making it the best area for dogs of all sizes and personalities. She does pick up/drop off if it’s an emergency without question, and of course if scheduled. Our dogs get so excited to see Christina and just hop right in her car! Our Tater is a little anxious and she is the perfect person to trust him with. I have referred a handful of friends and everyone LOVES her too! She is so trustworthy and it’s so comforting to know our fur babes are safe and cared for when we can’t be there with them. 💯 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Christina is wonderful with our two goldens! I can trust that they’re happy and well taken care of in her hands. She sends frequent updates with photos. She was also super accommodating and flexible with dates/times when I was throwing last minute plans on her. Highly recommend her when boarding your dog🙂 …
We left our 9 month old labradoodle with Christina for two weeks and she’s amazing. She sent us pictures of our dog playing and having a good time with his friends everyday. She texted how my dog’s day went. Christina even brushed his thick doodle hair which others don’t do and even if they do they charge extra. Our pup came home healthy and happy. We’ll be leaving him soon with Christina again soon. She’s the best.
This is my puppers second home. He loves going to Kissy’s place and enjoy an entire day of playing and interacting with other friendly pups. Secure environment, and my dog definitely gets the same home environment feel. Highly recommended for any fur parents who are looking for a trustworthy sitter!
We've used Kissy's Pet Sitting a couple times now for long weekends for my shy and anxious dog. She always is happy when we pick her up! I like the in-home environment as my dog wouldn't do well in a kennel with other dogs. Christina is great with the dogs and very flexible to work with. My go-to place for leaving my dog for our trips that we can't take her with us.
Christina has taken care of our dog Phoebe multiple times, ranging from a few days to 2 weeks. She took amazing care of her every time and sent pictures and updates every few days, which was so appreciated. Phoebe is pretty slow to warm up but she was so comfortable with Christina and we knew she was always in great hands. 14/10 would recommend Christina :)
Can not recommend Kissy’s Pet Sitting enough! My pup has had some anxiety in the past staying at larger daycare / boarding facilities so the fact that Kissy’s is in home makes the world of difference. Our sweet girl will happily get out of the car for her stay and that helps so much with the anxiety I have leaving her. Christina was so kind as to send lots of updates while we were away for a week and even checked in with us when she noticed our pup was limping - I so appreciate the level of care. The booking and meet and greet process was super easy - 10/10 recommend!!!
We love taking our lab to Kissys! Christina is so easy to work with and updates us on our baby. We know Shelby our lab is safe and happy and completely living her best life with the other pups. I tell all my friends about her and her business! It totally makes me feel like I’m dropping off Shelby at a friends house to play.
We had a very traumatic experience with boarding in the past, so we were very hesitant and selective when looking for someone new to watch our pup Loki. Christina went above and beyond to keep us reassured while we were gone. Loki had an absolute blast, as evidenced by all the pictures and videos that Christina sent. I also love that she actively posts on Instagram stories so we get glimpses of Loki throughout the day. We have continued to use her services when we go out of town and would recommend again and again!
Christina has the best dog sitting/pet care business. I'd recommend her to anyone with pets. She's so friendly and sends pictures during your pet's time there. She's the best and I'm truly thankful for her services. Thanks Christina!
I’m so grateful to have Val in our life. She accommodated my dogs in last min decision for boarding. She is very organized and detailed oriented. She is very passionate about her work and she provides best quality care. She quickly response to my messages and she keeps me updated at all times. My dogs love her and always excited to see her. She also live so close by which is super convenient. I highly recommended her and I definitely going to take my dogs again for day care!
Val is amazing!!! She recently cared for my puppy that is super challenging and did a fantastic job with her. She also cared for my recently departed malamute many times. Val is responsive, caring and clean! Her home is well kept and she is great about social distancing and hand hygiene. I highly recommend her for both boarding and daycare.
Able services has been a gift to find! Valerie is a remarkable, kind, loving person who is gifted at taking care of dogs. She loves my dog like her own and even calls herself his godmother!! I even put her as his second emergency contact because I trust that she would take care of my dog like her own. She is incredibly flexible with dates and times and has been able to accommodate every request including holidays. She even picks my dog up from my home in the morning and drops him off. Her ability to transport has helped me tremendously for dog care. Her pricing is very reasonable. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Valerie and Able services. They also can provide yard work and cleaning which I’ve used in the past. Valerie is only able to perform excellence, and I know my dog is not only safe but he’s happy when he’s at her place playing with the other dogs.
I'd give 10 stars if I could. Val is absolutely incredible with my Australian Shepherd. I work 24 hour shifts and having him be with Val while I'm at work puts my mind completely at ease. She sends fun pictures and updates throughout the day so I get to see my little baby playing with all his friends :) Val is very easy to contact and quick to respond. She makes it so easy! I've been bringing my dog here for a few months now and wish I would have found out about her sooner. I'll be a returning customer for a very long time!
Val is such an amazing person and a great pet sitter. She also is very good at dog behavior and understanding how they react in situations. I think she is a dog whisper. I was concerned with my Boston wanting to attack other dogs. I took her to various trainers over the years and nothing worked. After going to Vals she now doesn’t always have the desire to attack other dogs. She has been watching my dogs for several years now. I can always rely on her short notice and she is always available for advise when my pet is sick or not behaving. Her house is set up very well for our fur babies and all of my pups love going to her place for stays. I am a first responder and can always count on her if something happens to me she will take care of my babies. There is no doubt in my mind she will take good care of your fur babies. Plus, she is great to work with in general. She has a good heart and is extremely compassionate and genuinely cares for both you and your fur baby. I am excited for all of you who are reading this review and going to have her care for your babies. She will do a great job.
I rarely write reviews online but I cannot say enough good things about Val and her kennel. Val does an amazing job creating a fun space for dogs to exercise and feel at home. I always feel confident leaving my pup, and he always comes home clean and tired! If you are looking for a dependable, professional, and local kennel service, Val and Able Pet Services is simply the best around.
I've been working with Val and Able Pet services for a few years. I know my dogs and cats are in good hands whether they're staying at our house while we're out of town or our young dog is over at doggy daycare playing. I would, and do, highly recommend Val and her services.
Val is very trustworthy and communicates amazing. My dogs are well taken care of, keep safe, and have the best time hanging with their furry friends. They spend a lot of time with Val, and are always ready to go back!
Able Pet Services honestly deserves 10 stars! I had a difficult time finding a daycare the met my dogs needs so I was pleased to have a referral from a gentleman i met at the dog park. Most daycares are overly crowded or not large enough to accommodate my energetic lab. Able Pet Services provides an environment in which my dog can burn off her energy, play with other dogs, be outside in the sunshine (weather permitting) and receive personalized attention. I receive photos and videos throughout the day detailing my dog's day. The owner Valerie is very flexible and laid back and you can tell she loves what she does. Able Pet Services will be my go-to for daycare and boarding moving forward. Thank you Valerie!
Boarding our dogs at Val’s makes everything so easy!! Our pups love going to see her!! She does such an amazing job of making them feel at home and safe when we are away. If we ever have a concern, she is easy to contact. Best dog boarding in Washington!!
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!
