Dog Sitters in Graham, WA

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!

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!

The folks at Pet Ponderosa were so helpful in getting me set up for grooming services and a boarding stay. Furthermore, they did a wonderful job with our huskies, and we couldn’t be happier! They also have lots of great treats and enrichment, which is fantastic! Helpful and friendly staff, great setting, and my pups were happy!

I would like to say Thank You to Pet Ponderosa's staff. This is the first time boarding my 2 dogs here and I was worried that my German Shepherd wasn't going to like being here, cause this is the 3rd boarding place he's been to, he did not like the other place at all and they even told me to find another place for him next time. And that's when I found Pet Ponderosa, they did things to make my shepherd feel comfortable enough to let his guard down and he really did enjoy his stay. I feel good about bringing both my dogs back again for boarding. With that being said I got to really enjoy my trip and not worry about my dogs!!

We love Pet Ponderosa! I have dropped my black lab off for boarding stays a number of times and he is always the happiest getting to go. They truly care about the pets that stay with them and giving them all of the pampering and play time. I love that I am able to get him bathed and his nails trimmed before pick up also. You won’t be disappointed bringing your furry friends here!

I’m a very new dog mom and like most pet owners he’s basically my child. I was very nervous leaving him somewhere unknown to get groomed, but it needed to be done. A friend recommended Pet Ponderosa. I called and was greeted by a sweet gal that answered all my questions (I had a lot!) She told me to fill out a pet profile online and call back and she’d get my dog scheduled. It was very easy to fill out the info and she told me I could just bring in his shot records when he came to be groomed. She made me instantly more relaxed about leaving him there to be groomed. When I arrived a few days later, Joe and his dog (that he gets to bring to work-so cool) greeted me with a smile. Joe was very nice and he got me checked in and got the groomer, Addilyn to come talk to me about what I was wanting done as far as grooming. The second I met Addilyn all my worries seemed to fade away, she was very nice and my dog liked her instantly! She let me show her pictures of what type of haircut I was wanting for my Pomeranian and told me that she’d take excellent care of my boy. Just a couple quick hours later and I was called and told he’d be ready to pick up in 20 minutes. Addilyn did an amazing job he looked and felt great! She also took before, during and after pictures for this first time dog mom!! She texted them to me and was again very pleasant and told me she hoped to see us again! I told her you most definitely will! I would completely 100% recommend Pet Ponderosa for your dogs next grooming!

Very helpful! They offer so many options for our dogs. They kept our dogs separate as requested. Our dogs came home happy! Very very friendly! Will definitely be going back for boarding and all our grooming needs.

I have used this facility for many years, and until today, had great experiences navigating issues with communication and services. I dropped off my dog for boarding and grooming services last week, and left detailed information on my trip timeline, including a specific request to have my dog fully groomed on pickup day. I was charged almost 400 dollars for boarding and grooming services. When my dog was brought out, his hair was wet and he had not been groomed at all, just washed. When I made note that the groom hadn’t been completed, I was told it was my fault for not calling, except my wife had called to set up the appointment and specifically asked for grooming services. When I offered that as a response, I was told it was my fault because I hadn’t filled out a piece of paper to explain the groom, except when I dropped my dog off, no one offered me any paper to fill out. I asked multiple times if there were any other issues, I was assured things would be fine. I have literally dropped dogs off here for years and never filled out a paper on grooming details. After attempting to explain that I had done everything I was supposed to do as a customer, the lack of services provided was still not acknowledged, no effort was made to right the mistake, and I was told I was being “entitled” and to find a different groomer. I have spent thousands of dollars at this place over the years. To have a business deny fault on a mistake they made, then repeatedly try to shuffle it onto the customer is just poor practice. Your customers deserve better and you should be ashamed to repeatedly offer excuses and accusation in place of a simple solution and admittance of your mistake. Do better, and thank you for showing me your business doesn’t deserve my patronage.

Staff is friendly and helpful & patient with my dog who is terrified of a nail trim! They gave him a cute Christmas hanky, fair prices and lots to offer.

If you are thinking of leaving your cat at this place, I would recommend to visit them before putting down the deposit. First, there is no separation for each cat although you are paying $33 a day for it. They put all cats, up to 10, into a shared small room. Imagine your cat doesn’t get along with other cats or prefers to have a space of his own especially being in a new environment the first day? Worst of all, they have one open cage and a dark coffin for a special need cats. Yes….you heard it right! It’s a COFFIN the size of 2 x 4 in darkness, no window, no light. How cruel and inhuman is that? After the visit and asking for a deposit back, they refused. If your cat likes to hang out with other cats, this place would be fine but I wouldn’t risk my pet being attacked or getting injured. Absolutely not worth it.

An amazing place to leave your fur babies, I was apprehensive as I had never boarded my boy before but I got daily updates, pictures and videos, was very reassuring. They took care of my boy as if he was their own pet and I cannot recommend this boarding kennel enough!!!!

Pet Ponderosa’s new groomer is a miracle worker. My dog Bear was groomed by Nita for about 10 years and when we had to find a new groomer, no one could groom him. He is very anxious and can be reactive. We heard Pet Ponderosa had a new groomer and she was able to get him fully groomed. We are so grateful.

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!

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!

Kelly is absolutely amazing. Her place is clean and comfortable and the dogs really are spoiled. She spends so much quality time with the dogs .I never worry one bit about my dog when she is with Kelly. The dogs are always happy and having a great time when I’ve stopped by to drop off or pick up. When we are gone for an extended period of time we get pictures and updates. Really puts you at ease when you know your fur kids are getting such great care. We can’t say enough good things about Kelly’s Creature Comforts

Kelly's Creature Comforts is the only place we trusted to leave our yellow lab Gunner with! Kelly and everyone who works for her are amazing. Gunner had allergies and they were always happy to give him the care he needed. He loved staying with them. Now apart from boarding your dog they also have an incredible Sniff Park. You owe it to yourselves and your dogs to check her out.

I took my dog, Luna to Kelly's CC this summer while I was temporarily living in the area. Kelly was extremely warm and friendly. After our initial call, I knew that Luna would be in good hands with Kelly - a true dog watching pro. Luna had a few overnights with Kelly this Summer. Luna is a little bit of an anxious/ nervous girl, and Kelly went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable, and helped her eat when she was too nervous to eat. I felt relaxed and at ease knowing that Luna was in good hands with Kelly. I would definitely recommend her, she's fantastic!

I have been a big fan of KCC since my first use of their services six years ago. What started out as stopping by to see to the needs of my five cats morphed into using at-home walking services when I got a dog. I don't think a kinder, more loving group of people who show uptmost care and respect for animals and my home are available in my area. If my non-vocal Husky would talk he'd howl them high praise!

Kelly's Creature Comforts was so perfect for my sweet Annie Oakley who was not even a year old. I felt like she had a "home away from home " feeling for a whole week. It is such a wonderful facility that provided my Annie with a spacious indoor play area along with lots of room to run and play outside and socialize with other dogs. She had her own little room with comfortable bedding and toys. Kelly is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs (animals) and ensures a safe, very clean & lots of FUN environment for them. I live an hour away from Kelly but I would drive however long it took me to leave my Annie with her!! I highly recommend Kelly's Creature Comforts!! I can't wait for our next vacation so Annie can get some more "Kelly LOVE"!!!

I love Kelly's Creature Comforts. This place is clean, Well organized, loving and is like a real home away from home. My 9 yr old Shepherd,who doesnt like me to be out of her sight, feels at home here and is treated with sensitive care and concern. Kelly really understands dogs and knows how to manage each one. Kelly makes sure that meds are given as prescribed and needed. The bedrooms for each dog are true luxury. There is clean room to play inside and out and sofas for dogs who like to feel at home. This is the only place I would have my dog stay. Thank you Kelly's Creature Comforts Team.!!!

My boy loves the time he spends at Kelly's. He is very social and has alot of energy. I never have to worry about him cause I know he is well taken care of. Kelly's know their dogs!

I have used KCC several times to board my dog and wouldn't go anywhere else. Great facility for the dogs and I know Kelly will treat my pup with great care. She loves to romp with other dogs and KCC gives her all that and more. Cage free fun!

Highly recommend Kelly’s Creature Comforts! They are the best around. My Australian shepherd loves going to dog daycare each week. She gets excited when we get close to Sharon’s and always comes home happy and tired. I know my dog is cared for and loved and gets plenty of exercise. Forever grateful we found Kelly’s Creature Comforts as we never have to stress when we take a trip as I know our pup is getting the best care and feels at home! The best place for your furry best friend!

I really enjoy having Kelly's to take our dog to. He always enjoys himself, and comes home tired after having such a good time. Kelly is great with communications when she has your dog, and is very good at making sure your dog is the right fit for her place. She's definitely made it a home away from home for the dogs that visit.

Kristina is absolutely amazing with my two fur babies! She takes pictures of them for me to see while I'm at work. One of them had an injury and she made sure to be attentive to her needs. Her prices are reasonable and she is super sweet I would recommend her to anyone!♡

Kristina is the best! I've boarded my dogs there for over two years. I've done daycare and over night boarding. One of our dogs requires medicine and she is always on top of it. We appreciate her more then she will ever know. Your pups will be in great hands and you will leave knowing they are having the best day ever!

Kristina takes such great care of our dog. I cannot recommend her enough. We have an anxious dog who is a little high maintenance and she does great when she’s there.

My 2 fur babies love staying with Kristina. I don’t leave them with anyone else. She is amazing!

My pupper is super sweet but a handful. She does so great with him and he LOVES going!

Thee absolute BEST!

Truly top notch!!! Gillshire Kennels is by far one of, if not the very best kennel in all of WA! Liz is an amazing lady, with a lifetime of experience in the dog show circuit, this in-depth animal knowledge, upmost level of care, customer service and professionalism comes thru in large ways and small. She has absolutely made a positive impact on our dog Journey's life and she loves staying there! Staff has always been great and very accommodating. 5 stars and then some. If you are looking to board your pet in a safe, 1st class facility, look no further than Gillshire's!

Does not take german shepherds claimed they are all anxiety filled when seeing other dogs. This person has never met my dogs. She also said of course yours maybe different. Just say you have breed restrictions no need to be offensive about it or say all shepherds are this way. They are not. No worries I'll take my well trained socliazed working dog and my money elsewhere 😉 Don't bother calling if u have a shepherd. This pace should do evaluations instead of just denying a dog based off breed alone

Gilshire Kennels never disappoints! Brought my 2 pups for boarding for 10 days! Their care was amazing. I would highly recommend them. I definitely will bring them back to see Liz and Nichole ❤

My dogs toe is fractured and I had to leave town. I wanted to take her to my regular daycare, but my vet told me she had to take it easy. Gillshire kennels made sure to take care of my baby the way I would while I was gone. They made sure she was comfortable and happy. They cleaned all of her supplies and did such a wonderful job taking care of my fragile geriatric baby. Thank you again. She was very happy when I picked her up

Liz and her team at Gillshire kennels are amazing! I never worry about my lab when I drop him off and he always seems happy and exhausted when I pick him up!

The owner was very kind and even washed the blanket I brought for them!! So accommodating and wonderful. Will be using in the future

I kenneled my senior lab and pug puppy here for over 2 weeks. I was nervous kenneling them for so long but I liked the "hotel style" kennel they have vs doggy daycare boarding. Both pups came home happy and healthy. I was able to call and check on them anytime they were open. I also like the flat rate price and no added fees for feeding and potty breaks like other kennels in the area.

Leaving your pet to board couldn't make you feel better. We have boarded our guinea pig, Caliope, 3 times with Gillshire Kennels, Inc. and she's come back just fine. The 'hotel' she stays in is roomier than her cage at home. We are taking her this weekend to board with her 'sister' Poppy.

Gillshire Kennels offers the best dog care in the area. We board our two greyhounds there when we're going out of town and Liz and her team take amazing care of them. Both of our dogs are older, have anxiety, and require daily medications, which was a problem in other boarding facilities. But not at the Gillshire Kennels. They get personalized care. The facilities are clean. The team is super friendly. The prices are reasonable. Our dogs come back home clean, well-fed, and happy. The well-being of your dog is their main goal. I highly recommend them. And thank you for taking such good care of our dogs!

Gunner loves going “camp” aka Gillshire kennels! Best place to take your dog!

My Doberman is very temperamental. They take exceptional care of him at the Lodge. He came home with a girlfriend after his last stay so, his father and I will be talking about boundaries. The staff is very professional and knowledgeable. We love Canyon Pet Lodge.

Our two medium dogs stayed here for a weekend out of town. We were able to bring the boys bed, toys, and blankets to make their stay more comfortable. Quintin was very thorough with checking the boys in and reviewing our online profile for the reservation. We also received daily report cards with photos on the boys days. We plan on using them in the future and referring them to our friends.

Teeto loves his Canyon Pet Logde family. He gets excited everytime I tell him he gets to play with his friends. He has become very socialized with the exposure to other dogs, and has stole the hearts of the staff. He will not be going to any other doggy daycare or lodging facility.

We have been taking our lab Max to CPL for about 5 years now once a week. He knows which day of the week we take him there. He squeels and runs to his leash. The car ride there he can hardly contain himself. Yes our dog let's us know this is a place he wants to go! We have also boarded him there along with our 2 cats Callie and Dixie. They take such great care of them while we are away on vacation to a place that does not allow pets. If rather have them at CPL than having a pet sitter. The cat area is away from the dogs with nice large kennels. They even play relaxing music so the cats cannot hear any dogs on the property.

Canyon Pet Lodge is our dogs home away from home! Our 2 Pugs love their play days during the week and also occasional overnight lodging. They have been guests at the lodge for over 3 years and also are groomed by an expert groomer, Olivia, every couple months. We highly recommend Canyon Pet Lodge in every way!

These guys love my dog. He's a Golden doodle and he's kinda sensitive... I see how comfortable he is with them, which tells me he really likes being there. Every single person I've met has been incredibly kind. I know my dog likes being there, and loves the people, which is the most important thing for me. And him, of course.

Honestly the best place for boarding your pet. Fair rate, easy to make a reservation. The staff is so great with our retriever, he loves going there. I'm always so comfortable knowing he's well taken care of when we are away. My favorite is the pawgress report we receive with pictures of his stay. Also they host fun paw-tays every now and then.

I really like that I was able to receive pictures and updates on my two dogs while I was out of town. Gives you peace of mind when you can see them and what they are up to. Everything was really easy to set up and get them booked. I feel as though the appearance could be a little more inviting but everything else was great. And from what I could see it looks like they separate large and small dogs which also is a plus in my opinion. Thank you guys again. I would recommend.

I really liked Canyon Pet Lodge for boarding my dog. He had a great time during his stay, and was definitely worn out after (which is hard to do for a 2yr old boxer)! I also appreciated the updates and pictures that they periodically give. I will definitely be bringing the puppy back for future stays and daycare!

Somehow my one star review was deleted after they overdosed and almost killed my dog with Ivermectin. I don’t recommend leaving medications here. My vet even waited after hours for me to make sure my dog didn’t have permanent brain damage and was going to make it through the night. Very dishonest that you somehow found a way to delete 1 star reviews. I hope you removed those sharp rocks that were lacerating multiple dog’s feet. I noticed all of those peoples reviews with pictures of their dogs injuries were removed as well, including mine. I never even got an apology. I got married and had a name change. That is why I am not in your system.

Highly recommend! We have 2 Rottweilers and our boy can be a bit challenging. He requires special medication twice daily and has trust issues. Amalia was amazing to work with, very accommodating and put me at ease right away. She went the extra step and sent me messages letting me know both dogs were doing great and were relaxed and comfortable. Opted to have the dogs work on the treadmill and not sure how Garrett was able to get Zeus on it but he did!! If you're in need for boarding or training look no further. Thank you.. Tesla and Zeus!

Boarded my cat there for two weeks. Staff was very friendly and communicative. Amalia reached out on several occasions to give me an update on my pet. She is very friendly and helpful. Prices were extremely reasonable. My cat seemed like he wasn’t bothered by the stay at all. Will definitely be coming back for the next time I need it.

My Standard Poodle "Romeo" came home calm and loving after a week of boarding at Stevens Family Kennels & Dog Language Center. I loved that he had a large area to lounge in with access to fresh air to enjoy the outdoors safely. Amalia was wonderful and responded quickly when I would inquire on how he was doing. Thank you all for taking great care of my Romeo. It's not easy trusting someone with my boy but felt at ease leaving him in good hands and will happily bring my boy here again!

My husband and I have learned so much from Garrett regarding dog behavior modification. Not only are his dog training sessions amazing, but boarding with Stevens Family Kennels is rewarding for both my dogs and us. Garret is passionate about dogs, and by using dog language to interact with them during their stay, they returned happy and even more obedient. I won't be boarding my dogs with anyone else.

Brought my dog in for a one night kennel stay. Talked with them before about her needs and if she'd be a good fit, understanding maybe she wouldn't be. They were receptive. They said they'd keep eye on her, put her on the treadmill and walk her if needed, etc (all extra $$$ things). Well, she was okay after a one night stay when I came to get her, but I heard absolutely nothing about how she did. The kid who gave her back to me basically shrugged when I asked. No word on if they walked her or put her on the treadmill (they didn't, I only learned when the automated receipt was sent later in the day). They also charge $1/minute for any of those personal interactions with your dog outside of feeding. Suffice to say it wasn't a good fit, my dog appeared like she hadn't eaten or drank anything while there. That's fine that it wasn't for her, but I expected more communication from them after our initial talk, or some follow up after for them to say it was or wasn't great for her, what they tried, how she reacted. Anyways, they just put you dog in kennel and feed it unless you pay quite a lot for anything more. It's not great, I wouldn't use this kennel as a backup. The kennel is just the side hustle to the expensive training main gig.

When our kennel abruptly closed we felt we wouldn't find a suitable fit for our very nervous boxer. Changes and new people are scary for him and we really needed to find a kennel that knew how to deal with him. From the minute Mico met Garrett we knew we found his home away from home. The facility is amazing, clean and quiet. Mico immediately was put at ease and when we picked him up we had a calm and happy dog. We are all so happy that Mico has a great new family at Stevens Family Kennels.

We adopted our Kiki when he was 2 and he has dog aggression issues. We found Garrett through a friend and are so GLAD we did! Our Kiki has come so far and more importantly is what Garrett taught us! We thought we were doing everything right, and for other dogs we could've been. But, Kiki needed something different! Thanks to Garrett we have the tools to really help Kiki! ***Side note, ask Garrett about his training collars! They are worth their weight in gold!

They took great care of our puppy here! We’re so thankful. She stayed for 4 days, was her first time being away from us so we were a bit nervous but Amalia is awesome she kept us updated and responded to us when we reached out. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing to board their dog they will be in good hands

We have worked with Garett several times and have loved all of our sessions. Of course when we heard that he also had boarding; we jumped at the opportunity. We boarded our golden retriever puppy and we’re a bit nervous how she would do as it was her first time boarding but Amalia gave updates throughout the journey and She did so well. They offer walks/exercise times for a very affordable rate which was perfect for our energetic girl. We originally just planned to board her for one night but we ended up doing several nights because we had such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. It is so nice that they all work as a family in the boarding as well. Would absolutely recommend for anyone who wants their dog to be in loving and attentive hands!

We recently boarded our dog, Vader, at Stevens Family Kennels after the holidays. The pre-arrival instructions that they gave me made it easy to pack what my dog needed for his stay. It was so great to be on vacation and know that our dog was in good hands! Vader seemed to have a great time, the staff said he was a good boy too. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd definitely recommend Stevens Family Kennels to others! Thank you so much!

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!
