Dog Sitters in Lawrence, WA

Becca and her team at Furrwoods are incredible. Our dog, Bodi, is super high energy and loves to play, play, play non-stop. They always match him with other high-energy dogs and he has made some wonderful doggy-friendships over the last year and a half. He enjoys daycare so much and has been boarded there for over a week at a time and he always comes home tired, happy, and safe/healthy. Having a safe, clean, and enriching place for our dog means a ton to us. Thanks SO MUCH to Becca and staff for loving on Bodi.

Our two Boston Terriers stayed at FurrWoods for a full week and they did so well and got lots of playtime they were happy and exhausted when we got them home! The place is absolutely spotless and so clean it’s amazing! Caring professional staff as well!

We were so thankful to have found FurrWoods Kennels! We recently adopted a dog from Whatcom Humane Society. Oscar is partially blind and very reactive, as he was never socialized as a puppy. It was critical to find a kennel that was a good fit for him. We had been using another boarding facility for the past ten years and had been pretty happy with them for most of that time. Due to a detour, I happened to drive by FurrWoods and saw their sign. So, we scheduled a time to take a tour. Oscar was reactive to the owner and staff and was barking and lunging at them. They knew exactly how to greet him and put him at ease. Within minutes, he was comfortable and leaning in for ear scratches. We took Oscar out to the play yards and put him in one by himself. He immediately went to the fence and happily greeted the other pups in the adjacent yard. The play yards here are repurposed astroturf from a football field, and the surface is immaculate. The previous boarding facility has gravel yards and our previous dog would sometimes eat rocks there or be dirty from digging. There are 3 or 4 different yards so they can group dogs by size or demeanor or age to ensure everyone has a positive playtime. The kennels are also very clean! There are only 28 kennels so it is much more peaceful than at a larger facility. They provide trampoline beds and even have slow feeders if you need them, which Oscar does. They have an online reservation system which helps me keep track of my bookings. You can also sign your dog up for an activity such as individual fetch time or a walk in the woods. We have boarded Oscar at FurrWoods several times over the past few months - sometimes just overnight and for as long as two weeks. He LOVES it there!! When we arrive, he pulls me to the door and wants to go straight out to play! This speaks volumes, as Oscar normally has separation anxiety!! When I pick him up, he is clean, happy, and exhausted. Thank you thank you thank you to Rebecca and her staff for welcoming Oscar into your kennel and your hearts!!

We can’t say enough about how wonderful Furrwood is. We leave our Luc there and know that he will have a fabulous time playing with his friends and be well loved and cared for while he is there.

We scoured the entire county for the right fit for our basset hound puppy, and Furrwoods rose to the occasion. He has specific needs and Becca has accommodated every one of them without question. This is the cleanest facility that we toured. The astroturf is much better for his skin and toes (they get yeasty, but not here). When we pick him up he usually greets us then turns right around to go back in. He definitely keeps the staff on their toes and I'm very grateful for their hard work.

Such an amazing place for my dogs. Extremely clean and organized. The staff is very professional and helpful. I always feel they make my dogs needs a priority. I would highly recommend bringing your dogs here for doggy daycare or an overnight stay.

Our dog Tanto went to Furrwoods for almost two years (we have now moved out of the area) and we could not have been more comfortable and happy with the care he received! Rebecca and her staff do a great job making sure your dog is loved and having a ball. Tanto always left Furrwoods happy and exhausted from a full day of fun. Cannot recommend enough!

My dog is always so excited when we arrive at the facility and so tired when I pick him up. The staff are very personable and seem to love my dog. They usually give me a report on how he did as well. They have cameras and an indoor/outdoor play area.

I've lived in many places and have used many kennels. I've never found a boarding facility that is as great as FurrWoods! They are kind, and accommodating, and take excellent care of our dogs. I will forever use FurrWoods and recommend them to everyone.

This is the nicest kennel in the county. I truly appreciate Becca and her staff. It is so great that we can leave town knowing our dogs will be well taken care of and have fun with the other pups there.

I have been taking my dog to Rover Stay Over for about a year and a half. We typically do the premium bigs lodging. The premium option has her play with other dogs in group play for most of the day! The staff will sometimes send us photos of all the fun she is having. Every time I drop my dog off she is very excited to be at Rover Stay Over. When I pick her up she is tired for a day or two. I am very happy that my dog is in a safe environment and enjoys her time so much! The staff is very friendly as well.

I was staying in the Lyden area camping and needing an overnight facilty for my dog because we had to go fishing VERY early. I contacted Rover Stay Over and set-up a reservation. Even being from out of town, they were able to take my dog because I had all the appropriate vaccine information, etc. Bailey had a great time and was one tired pup when I picked him up. Thank you Rover Stay Over for the ease of everything. "Your facility is PAWsome!" - @sirbaileyshark

We needed some help for a few hours during a day trip across the border. Not having connections in the area, this site was a perfect resource. The process was seamless and communication was great. Tobi had a great time here and we are grateful for their services.

Rover Stay Over was able to get my dog in for a 6 day “emergency” when my regular boarder went on vacation. The facility is clean and professional. The staff clearly LOVES the dogs (I got to hear them talk to other pet parents - it wasn’t just me). I loved the report card and photos so I knew Charlie was having a great time. I’m definitely going to be a regular!!!

I was looking for a new place to groom our 2 year old cockapoo. It was suggested for me to bring him to Rover stay over for grooming, which I didn’t know they had grooming options. I was very happy to find that our dog was groomed to exactly how I had asked and was treated with care and love. Plus, the price was completely reasonable and very much within my budget. I will definitely come here again!

Our dog loves going to Rover Stay Over for their daycare playgroup! Her excitement shows when we drop her off. She gets to run off leash and play with other dogs in a fenced, supervised area, which is so good for her. The staff there is friendly and experienced. We’ve also boarded our dog there from one to several days and are happy with that experience too.

We love taking our doggos to Rover Stay Over. The dogs are super excited to get there, practically singing with glee when they see we are slowing to turn into the driveway. The staff clearly love all their charges and we love them back. The only gripe we have is regarding overnight boarding policy that if you leave your dog after 11am on the pick up day they will charge for another day of boarding rather than a day of daycare. This is a new change this year, which is why it is why I mention it. We have learned how to work with this, but we preferred the way they did it before. Thank you for being in the community and making our dogs so happy !

Our pup came home very ill with some respiratory infection, lethargic, not eating. He could barely keep his eyes open. They told us this 2 days before I picked him up early- and only because I called and inquired how he was. Only one report card after a couple days and then several days went by with no communication. I had to call and ask for one, and then they said he was coughing and they would " keep an eye on him." Said he also wasnt eating. Seems they should have realized he was getting really ill.He's been home 24 hours and looks very sick- going to vet first thing tomorrow. They need to do much better with observation, and communication potential issues. Not recommended at all. My dog was a healthy 8 month old when he went in. I'm quite concerned now.

We love Rover Stay Over and have left our dog, Briggs, in their care for many years. We love picking him up freshly bathed in his adorable bandana, exhausted, happy, and healthy.

My dog didn’t want to come home with me. I was happy and sad all at once, as he kept looking back. Once we got home, he curled up in his bed and took a nap. I could tell that he was tuckered out from so much fun. We look forward to our follow-up visit the following weekend and plan on making this part of our routine. Thank you I will recommend you to everyone I know with a canine friend.

I LOVE Hyline. And my Sydney (German Shepherd/Akita mix) LOVES it too. I absolutely have trust in the workers, my baby comes home happy and having played well, they have a lot of extra services available, and she gets her grooming there as well. After trying another place in town where Sydney would leave panicked and stressed out (wouldn’t eat sometimes for days after) it is a relief to know she is cared for so well at Hyline. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you Hyline. Oh, and they send the best pics!!

Hyline is a great facility if you’re looking for boarding your dog while out of town. As a daily daycare it wasn’t what I thought. Dogs are in kennels for most of the day and let out for 15 min to play and do their business… for my 5 month old she deff needs more interaction with other dogs and play time. The staff was very nice and she did have fun.

Awesome service from the personnel at Hyline Hotel, they did an amazing evaluation of our beasts, put them in a play group with 5 other dogs and submitted photos. Both our dogs looked so happy to be there, our female who is more vocal talked all the way home about the fun she had. Huge difference from previous daycare, won’t mention names. Hyline Hotel is the BEST!

Hyline is definitely one of the best doggy daycare facilities I have ever taken my dog too! My dog had the best time with other daycare goers and the handlers/staff of the company. Keep up the great work! My dogs tail never stopped wagging from how much fun he had! :)

I've used Hyline Hotel for years, both for daycare and boarding. The staff are great, friendly and welcoming and really care about giving the dogs their best. One local trainer told me that Hyline is the only kennel that she would use. They are terrific.

Guys, my cat is absolutely psycho when it comes to grooming her or trimming her nails. I don’t know how they managed to turn her sassy self into a mini lion with the cutest mane and floofy tail, but they did. Have a cat or dog that needs grooming.. just take them there already. Don’t think twice.

I was very impressed with Hyline Hotel for Dogs. Our two dogs were there over thanksgiving week and we received daily updates and photos. When we picked our girls up, they were very happy to see us and napped in the car on the way home - a sign they were content with their stay and well cared for. Everyone at Hyline was super friendly and the whole check in and out process was very streamlined. Thanks again!

My 3 dogs love Hyline! Katie does a fantastic job grooming them and is so gentle with the nervous and older dogs. All the staff are friendly, welcoming and love dogs.

Friendly, kind, compassionate and thorough daycare for our Harry. The staff are always keeping a open line of communication and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. I don't ever worry about our dogs when they are at Hyline.

Our young dog was very nervous the first couple of daycare visits, but Hyline made sure to pair her with other dogs she played well with and by the time we needed to board her there, she was confident and comfortable. They kept her safe and as happy as possible being in a different environment and I would recommend them to others as well as use them again. They are responsive and organized and kept us updated.

The best thing about Puget Hounds is that my dearest dog, Jake, loves to go there. He gets his hugs and love from the lovely people who work there. He has his regular dog friends. It is a second home to him. He is safe, he is fed to my directions. It is a great place for a dog and a great business to work with for a dog’s owner.

My dog Mady seems to love all of your staff. I believe that he has a good time playing with the other dogs. I was so impressed with Amber on your staff. I am handicapped and I was fearful that my dog could get out when someone opened the front dog if he was not tight on his leash. Amber helped me put his leash and harness on. She was so thoughtful and kind. Mady is only ten months old. He is a lot for me to handle with my osteoarthritis, but no one could love him more dearly and give him a better home than me. He needs the socialization at Puget Hound that I cannot give him at home.

Earlier this year we got our pup Luna signed up. She loves going to daycare! She has made great friends and it always excited when we drop her off. She comes home tired from a day full of play. The staff are very friendly.

Puget Hound has been an absolute sweet haven of delight for my dog. She loves daycare and all the fun and social interaction with other dogs. The staff is so kind and caring. The team makes it so stress free and easy to manage drop off and pick up scheduling. We can’t say enough great things about Puget Hound

Our lab Bode has been going to Puget Hound since March and so far he's loving it! It was unnerving sending my fur-baby off to daycare for the first time, but the staff at Puget Hound have been very responsive to any questions or concerns that come up. I would like to give a special thanks to Abby & Riley. Abby did our initial questionnaire for his temperament test and was super reassuring throughout the process (this helped me feel like he was in good hands!) Upon drop off/pick up, Riley always has a smile on her face and (today specifically) was prompt in relaying Bode's first photos and report with me - I'm so grateful. Big thanks to all the staff at Puget Hound!

Bandit has been going to Puget for over two years now. Not only does it give him an opportunity to run and play all day, it gives him time to interact with the other pups, which is a good thing for him. The staff are great. They clean him up on the wet days, and the always have him ready when it's time to go home. Having him somewhere that they show they care about him as much as we do is important.

Puget hound has been such a god send for me! I work from home and am always looking for an opportunity to get my little Rosie the chance to play while I’m typing away. The staff here has always fostered a fun, safe, and seamless environment for Rosie to have the best time! She has made so many friends and always comes home ready to sleep for days! Thank you Puget hound for being Rosie’s second home!

My dog Monty absolutely loves it here! He can't wait to go "play with doggies" as I tell him! The staff is so helpful, attentive, and really love the dogs, and you can really tell the dogs are having fun too. I love that he gets indoor and outdoor play time and comes home tired at the end of the day. I haven't used their boarding yet, but I would feel totally safe leaving Monty with The Puget Hound for any length of time. As a very protective dog parent, having someplace that I can safely leave my pup for the day while I run errands, work, or do whatever needs to be done is priceless. I'm so happy I found Puget Hound and recommend them to anyone!!

recently in the area and required dog daycare for my dog. Puget hound was absolutely amazing with accommodating my need and took him for the afternoon. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and friendliness of the staff. Great service and my dog seemed to have a good afternoon there

Our small dog always has a great time and has made friends. Great place to let your dog have fun while you're at work. Would recommend to others.

My pup, Luigi, has been attending Furever for a few months now and I have never seen him happier. He comes home smiling, tired, and cuddly. I swore if he could talk, he’d go on non-stop about his friends. His newfound energy and overall joy by itself is worth the 5 stars. We go 2-3 times a week now. We went to a previous daycare for 3 years and got priced out, but he never came home as elated as he does now. I’ve read the other reviews about the flat affect of owner/main person…she strikes me as someone who prefers dogs over people and, frankly, that’s exactly who I want watching my kid when I have to be at work all day. Also, can’t say that I blame her haha We are deeply grateful to have found a place that’s safe, organized, and fairly priced. Love the adorable storefront with treats, too. We will keep going for as long as we can!

We have been using Forever Friends as our primary daycare since 2018 when we got Napoleon, our Frenchie. We now have a new pup, and she loves going as well! We are very pleased with the supervision and the companionship that this daycare provides for our dogs. Both dogs exhibit really happy body language both coming and going from their time at Furever Friends. They show interest in the staff as well. I know Theresa and Jenna both genuinely care about and love our dogs. I appreciate the transparency Theresa offers as she is willing to answer our questions, tell us about how our dogs are doing, and note any problem behaviors or other things she has noticed. Having two Frenchies with skin issues, she often pointed out when she would notice excessive itching, licking, vomiting, not-so-solid poops, etc (Issues we also saw at home and we're trying to problem solve). She can be assertive when expressing her opinion on dog foods and making recommendations but she is only trying to help. I can happily say that after 3 years we have finally found the right food for our pups. Furever Friends Daycare is stellar, with well-trained staff members who are attuned to socializing dogs and creating an environment that’s as nurturing as it is fun. - Valerie, Mitch, Napoleon, and Penelope

My dog attended Furever Friends daycare daily for about seven months. She was well taken care of and always got excited about going to Furever Friends. Jenna is very professional and always answered my questions. Her daycare is very clean and the dogs are consistently let out for a potty break. My dog is only fifteen pounds and I was concerned about her safety being around large dogs, but she never got hurt. The dogs are well supervised. Thank you, Jenna and staff!

My dog Izzy has a great time when she attends daycare here! The staff members are very knowledgeable and considerate of what is best for each dog individually and that is invaluable to me.

This is the best daycare in the area. First, their operational policies are super convenient and the fact that you don’t have to have an appointment makes it always reliable in a pinch. Plus the owner and staff absolutely love dogs, and often give you tips for ways to help your own dog. If they notice something, they mention it. We have been taking two dogs here for years, and they always love getting out on of the car to run inside. The owners do a trial to make sure your dog will be a good fit with the rest of the group. If a dog isn’t a good fit, they let people know upfront so they can find other options. That may not sit well for some people, but it ensures the rest of their dogs have a good experience and our allowed to play and enjoy their day. Simply put, they’re awesome and have made our lives much easier!

We have been taking our 2 dogs here for the last 4 years on a regular basis. They’re always amazingly taken care for and our dogs just absolutely can’t wait to get out of the car when we pull into the parking lot. Owner and staff are extremely knowledgeable.

Our dog (Sunka) loves going to FurEver friends. She is always so excited to go and play with her friends. I can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff is. We are so grateful to have found furever friends

Our 1 year old female French Bulldog puppy attended this daycare for a few weeks. Upon arrival I was always told she was a "menace" and had "too much energy" even though her behavior was appropriate for her puppy age. They reassured us that she needed to continue coming to help her socialize. We continued to bring her. We were notifed that our puppy plays rough with another younger 6 month old male French Bulldog. We had been told on a few occasions that they are very rough and he tends to be aggressive with other dogs. They reassured us by saying they separate our girl from the 6 month old frenchie when they get rough. We were ensured of our puppy's safety. So fast forward a week or so later, I called around 12pm to check in on our puppy. The staff had mentioned that she was in a "scuffle" but she was okay. I continued on with my day as they told me she was okay. Upon arrival around 5:30pm, I was greeted and shown a golf ball sized fluid filled lump on my puppy's neck. I was told it was fine and to put a warm compress on it as well as the dogs name who bit her. We immediately went to the animal er and the vet was extremely concerned due to signs of infection starting so quickly. She was given a lot of meds. The next day I called in to inform staff of the er visit as well as follow up on what the next steps would be for our puppy. The staff Jenna or Jen stated she didn't see our puppy get bit and she will not be comfortable saying who did it. She went on to say that the injury was a result of our puppy playing with another puppy. Due to the nature of the injury being a puncture wound we knew it was not a playful accident. Since the attack my husband and I have both had conversations with Jen regarding what happen. She continues to give us excuses and will not let us know who did it. My biggest issue is the fact that our puppies best interest, health, and safety was not thought about. I am completely infuriated that I was not told immediately OR when I called that day that our puppy was bitten and had a puncture wound to her neck, had I been told I would have picked her up immediately. I understand accidents happen but the way this was handled was completely inappropriate. We and the vet are extremely upset that our puppy had been left with a puncture wound in her neck for hours only for it to get infected and require immediate medical attention. It has been a few weeks since the incident and our puppy will have a lifelong scar. Unfortunately I am unable to post any photos but feel free to message me to see them. I just ask that you please keep an eye on your babies if they attend this daycare.

I needed a place to take my pup at the last minute when I was sick and picked this place because of it's size. I arrived before the 730 cut off and took my pup inside. A woman came out and took my pups leash without a word and started to head into the back, then she stopped and said, "Wait, is she new?" I was taken aback because I had expected a more welcoming first time. Introductions, potential dog questions, saying hi to the puppy, basic politeness. There was none of that. I said "yes" and she pulled my pup along to a desk to take out a form, slapped it on the counter and told me to fill it out and bring it back. (I had already completed this form online.) She then took my dog into the back. I was shocked and disappointed by the bruskness of her manner, she didn't introduce herself or ask me who I was, she just pulled my dog into the back. It was very unusual and I got a bad feeling. Since this was my first time, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe someone had been rude, maybe she is just better with pups than people. Things happen and I get it, we are not all 100%, all the time. Fast forward to pickup time. I walked in and while I was waiting for them to notice me, I looked around to see if I could see my pup through the windows. I didn't see her, but I did see a large pup in a kennel in an empty office. I wondered how long it had been there and what it had done to be put there. (I have had experience with other places. When others do "time out" , they take the pup and spend some 1 on 1 time with them in a small separate area to correct behavior and help them calm down. I have never seen a dog left alone, locked in a kennel with no one nearby.) The same woman brought out my puppy and I immediately knew something was wrong. On the rare occasion I have to take my puppy to daycare, she is excited, wagging her tail and happy to see me when I come to get her. But this time, when the lady brought my pup out, she was scared and withdrawn. I was worried for her and started checking her, thinking she'd been hurt. (She wasn't physically hurt as far as I could tell.) The lady asked if I had a card on file. I did, and realized that's where she was going to leave it. So I asked her her name, it was Jenna, and I told her my name. I then asked her how my puppy had done, since I realized she hadn't planned to give me any feedback. I also hoped I could get some insight on why my puppy was suddenly acting afraid. She said, "You need to train her not to run." She added, "the other dogs chase her when she runs and we don't allow running here." I was surprised because the whole reason I picked this daycare is because they boast such a large play area on their website for the pups to "chase" toys and get "exercise". I thought of the pup in the kennel and wondered what they had done to make my pup not run. I asked if there was anything else and she said, yes, "she's too rough with smaller dogs". This is valid as my puppy is 18 weeks old and still learning boundaries, so I understand the criticism. At her usual daycare, they exercise "gentle restraint", which is using a hand or holding them to separate pups for a few seconds. This has worked beautifully and my pup responds well to that. I wondered what they practiced here for my pup to be acting the way she was. After I got her home, she didn't recover her personality for quite a while. I cancelled the appointment for the following day. Between the unfriendly nature of Jenna, and my pups personality change I didn't feel comfortable ever bringing my pup here again. When asked (on the website) the reason for my cancellation, I simply put I didn't think my pup was a good fit. The portal then told me I would get an email confirmation of cancellation. I didn't receive it. I logged in to see if it had been cancelled and found my account with my pet info and records had been erased. Good thing I didn't change my mind. I gave my pup extra cuddles and attention last night and I'm pleased to say she is mostly back to her old self now.

I got a new puppy a few months back and didn't realize how much attention she needed. It was hard leaving her alone because it was traumatic. The staff at Fur-Ever Friends gave Harper a ton of love and even sent her home with a jacket on the first day. They got my shy little baby playing, running and getting worn out with the other dogs. The staff are very nice and experienced. I feel fortunate that this place is available and am happy to take Harper as often as I can.

I’ve never felt compelled to write a Google Review before but I need to sing Thomas’ praises! Truly one of the best caretakers and services I’ve ever experienced. Not only is excellent about staying in touch (reminder texts, checking in about anything around the house that seems amiss, sending pictures when he visits), I can tell that our cats absolutely love him. We have one outgoing kitty and one shy one, but when Thomas sends photos it’s so clear that the cats are having fun and are enjoying their time. Showing their bellies, playing, etc.! And Thomas’ pet photography is unmatched. I don’t know what we would do without him!

Thomas is a great pet sitter. Very caring, reliable and professional! He is wonderful with our kitties. Even our shy kitty greets him when he comes to care for them. Thomas was very thorough in the information that he gathered to care for our kitties and home. He reconfirms scheduled services a few days in advance, sends emails and pictures when caring for the kitties and asks that we notify him upon our return so he knows that we're home to take care of everything again. We've been very pleased with Thomas' services and will continue to ask him to care for our kitties. We highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for quality pet care services. Your pets will thank you!

Thomas is a great pet sitter! While we were on vacation, he sent us emails containing photos of our cats. Our house was clean, and he did everything so well! Very professional, would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter. Thanks to you Thomas for taking care of our kitties!

Update May 2023: We picked back up with Thomas after the pandemic and his service is still wonderful. Excellent care for our cats, one of whom has a complex care routine. We've used Thomas four times since November and it's been awesome. On our most recent trip, we were delayed and had to ask for one more visit at the last minute. Thomas was flexible and accommodating. It made an already stressful situation much easier! Five stars. Original review: This was our first time using a professional pet sitter to look after our two adult cats--and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our experience started with a home visit so that we could meet Thomas and he could meet our cats. Thomas was very accommodating of our schedules and agreed to meet on a Friday evening. His first move was to crouch down and meet our cats at their level. He treated them respectfully and non-threateningly. Then, he talked with us for about thirty minutes about our needs, our normal procedures, his normal procedures, etc. At the end of the meeting, we felt confident that he would take the responsibility seriously. He even had a number of general pet care tips that he shared with us that we hadn't heard before. A few days before we left, Thomas texted to confirm his first visit and make sure our travel plans hadn't changed. It was good to be assured that our cats were still on his radar. While we were gone, Thomas visited every day to feed and play with our cats, as well as scoop their litter boxes (daily) and water plants (per our instructions). He played with the cats more diligently than we probably do, and emailed us pictures of each day's adventures. He also left daily notes about what he'd done, what the cats were up to, etc. He even brought a few tried-and-true toys to supplement the toys we'd left. It was heartwarming to see photos of our kitties from thousands of miles away, and we were comforted to know that somebody was paying real attention to them. The day of our return, Thomas texted to make sure we were still on schedule. The plan was that if we didn't confirm that we were home, Thomas would keep visiting so that our kitties would be cared for. It made us feel good to know that if our flight was delayed--or cancelled--he would keep on taking care of the cats. We will absolutely use Pet Sitters by the Bay again when we travel. Peace of mind for a very reasonable price!

Thomas is such a wonderful pet sitter. He really took excellent care of our senior poodle, who takes medications night and day and is a picky eater as well. Thomas went out of his way to make sure she ate her food and was more than willing to carry her down the flights of stairs from our apartment because she has a weak leg. He sent us many updates during our trip so we know she was well cared for, and was very easily reached and attentive. We will absolutely be using Thomas again when we travel, and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!

We feel very fortunate to have found Thomas!!! While we were out of town, Thomas sent us an email with photos of our cat during each visit. Our apartment was immaculate when we returned home (wow!!!). It was obvious Bernadette had been extremely well taken care of (her toys were even in her favorite places). What a huge relief to be able to go away and know that Thomas will be our pet sitter and look after our little girl and our apartment!!! Thank you very much Thomas!!!!

Just used Pet Sitters by the Bay to care for my four cats over several days and couldn't be more pleased by the service provided by Thomas! Making the arrangements was easy and the paperwork I had to fill out was straightforward and not hard since it was my chance to talk about my cats and their preferences. I was also very impressed by the professionalism of Thomas in having back up plans in case of emergencies. I also really enjoyed getting photos of my cats emailed to me while I was away, and also showed me Thomas' amazing skill in easily handing my cat's various personalities (and idiosyncrasies). I highly recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay to anyone looking for quality pet care at affordable prices!

Thomas was amazing. Our cat couldn't have had better care and we suspect misses Thomas' morning visits! His daily reports and photos were a lovely treat each day of our trip. Highly recommended.

Thomas was very professional and friendly, and did a great job with my cat. He met me for an initial consultation to get to know my pets and fill out paperwork, and my two animals -- even my shy dog who is afraid of everyone -- immediately took to Thomas. The day before my cat sitting appointment, Thomas sent me a confirmation email, and while he was at my place, he did everything we agreed on and even vacuumed around the litter box. He left a cat calendar for me to keep, and emailed me to make sure I was back home and my cat was doing okay. I definitely recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay!

Thomas was very professional and took wonderful care of our pets! We have a cat and a dwarf rabbit. Thomas came over to feed them, play with them and do some maintenance cleanup every day while we were away (for 8 days). During that time, he sent us 3 email updates with pictures of our critters, so we had no worries during our trip. When we returned home, there were detailed notes about what went on during each of his visits (plus some new catnip toys for our kitty!). He also brought in our mail every day - no extra charge. Thomas was great and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We'll definitely be using his services during our next vacation.

Absolutely wonderful. Awesome team there, and the fur kids are well taken care of and lots of exercise throughout the day. This visit to the doggie spa one of our pup's had a little seperation anxiety attack, the team at Green Acres let us know, and what they did to ease the condition and sent pictures throughout the week and keep us updated on this, the other pup we had there was living her best life with everyone.£l Thank you to everyone one there, and it is the only place we trust with our fur kids. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Carl and Peggy Sue were looked after and treated like royalty. Many thanks again. Skal Magnus.

One of those rare businesses where I wish I could give a 10/5 review. I have been taking my furball to Green Acres for about 3 years now whenever I am out of town. I have a wolf so she is not the kind of dog you can just take anywhere. The dog handlers have to really know dogs well to be able to gain her trust. I have taken Tiva for lengths of time up to 4 months this last trip. Every single time they treat her like family. This time I returned home and was in the 2 week quarantine and I talked to Kathy to update her and Kathy actually offered to drive Tiva form Abbotsford to Burnaby for me since I could not leave my place...FOR FREE. That blew my mind. They are such an incredible crew at Green Acres and its immediately evident that this is one of those rare companies run with a passion for what they love not simply as an avenue to make money. Thank you Kathy and your team for what you do. If you have not taken your dog here then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you do....If you have taken your furchild there then you know exactly what I mean. Keep up the great work guys.

We have used Green Acres countless times and it's about time I gave them the review they deserve. Our dogs have always come back in happy shape but the best part is that they always find ways to schedule our dogs in, even last minute. We'll always use Green Acres, no question

Great facility and wonderful interactive staff. They really do care! Sometimes it’s hard to get through on the phone, but that’s because they’re interacting with the dogs and can’t hear the phone ring always, but the owner gave me her personal number as well so they were always reachable. They are also very good at calling back and will go the extra mile to send videos and pictures. I’m also pretty positive they bathed my big dig after he got dirty from play time, talk about going the extra mile.

Green Acres is amazing. They take away my anxiety of dropping off my anxious dog. Oliver could barely wait for his leash to come off to go visit with his furry friends. Janelle and Mackenzie and Kathy are great. Thanks Ladies!!

This place was good for the week that we were out of town but I would not bring my dog back. This was our first time coming here, we were told that we'd get an update about our dog but didn't get one until the night before we picked her up. We told them that our dog likes to play rough which we were told was no problem but upon picking her up they told us that they didn't let her play with other dogs the entire time she was there, just meeting other dogs through the fence which is not what we had discussed. As well when we picked her up there was a big cut on her nose and no one knew how or when it happened, it has since turned into a big scar.

This was my first time experiencing a kennel. My Groot stayed here for two weeks, he had the most excellent care. I highly recommend Kathy and her team. Thank you so much for caring for our sweet boy.

I brought my Doberman here for one week stay and he had preexisting cut in between his toes that became infected on the second day of visit. I was sent videos and pictures and updated everyday as to what care they were giving him. They soaked his foot daily and cleaned it and had their own vet administer pain medicine and antibiotics. They were extremely concerned and attentive and when I picked him up and brought him to my vet she told me that the care given was excellent and that his foot was healing nicely as a result. I’m very impressed with the service considering the situation required so much extra work on their part. Speaking with Kathy and Jody throughout the process it is very obvious they are dog people and care about them like they are their own. Thank you. I appreciate what you did for Zeus and will see you again sometime in the future.

My dog loves the ladies at Green Acres. Ample room for all sizes of dogs and clean. Cathy and Olivia are very loving and my dog was happy when I went to pick him up. They took care of his special diet and meds with no hesitation. Of course he came home dirty but that was because it was wet spring and he was outside playing with all his fur buddies.

My big boy loves it here. He has dog friends to play with and the staff are amazing. He is always excited to go to Green Acres. I know he is in good hands while I am away.

I am so happy we found Tails! After a week of going to daycare, I already notice my Rottweiler puppy making progress in basic leash manners, greeting people calmly, and settling down. He has almost stopped biting completing! We actually get compliments in public by how well behaved he is. We are also getting private lessons in our home, as we have young children and chickens that our puppy likes to terrorize. Highly recommend for training and daycare! They truly love every single dog that comes in.

My dog loves his days at Tails-a-Wagging! He has also participated in private training sessions and an agility class at T-a-W. The staff are kind, gentle, knowledgeable and love dogs! They have helped me navigate the ups and downs of raising a puppy! I love Tails-a Wagging and highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best doggie day care!

This place is the best! They really cater to your dogs individual needs and support you throughout the process. You can tell all the trainers and the owner, Angie, are all very invested in your dogs success! I recommend this place to all dog owners! <3

Had a private session with Jen and it was so educational! She had great advice and tools for me to start implementing. She really helped me feel more confident in what I was already doing as well. I've had a couple different trainers in town and Tails a wagging has my loyalty. When I first called I spoke with the owner and the amount of help/information she offered me with no strings attached blew me away! I am so grateful for you all and know who to call when I'm stuck with my pups! Thanks again!

Tails has been life changing for us!!! He was literally eating drywall before we started at Tails. He’s so social and needs way more stimulation than small walks and one big outing a day. The training-based, amazing care and socializing has been the ticket! They take great care to find what works for his nap time, keep us informed on what he needs to work on at home(but not in a judgy way at all!) and are kind to pups and people alike! Just fabulous. Our EXTREMELY 😂 social boy LOVES his daycare days and he’s so happy, tired and cuddly when we pick him up. We love watching him on the live cameras! I feel Iike I can’t even say all the good things that need to be said! Thank you- seriously!

Tails staff is amazing! The ongoing training and socialization for my little rescue pup has really enriched her life, and mine. They are caring, knowledgeable, and so attentive to the needs of all the dogs in their care. My dog loves going there! I miss her on her Tails days, but I know she is safe, having fun, and learning everyday. Professional advice about dog behavior and health questions are shared when needed and very helpful. This is where you want to take your dog!

Beyond grateful to have found Tails. Angela and her skilled team are true experts in their field. The Tails team always has my fur child’s health and wellness as their top priority. I’m so thankful for all they do for my family!

I have gone to tails off and on for the last 10 years for daycare and training, and they are exceptional. I have moved states a couple of times in that 10 year period, used several daycares/training facilities in the areas that I moved to, and none even compare to tails. Tails offers so many amazing classes. Their trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful. Over the last year and a half with my younger dog, I have taken around 6 group classes, and done around 4 private sessions with my older dog. Every training class I have taken has not only been extremely helpful, but super fun. We have done daycare at tails off and on over the years. For the past year my younger dog has attended tails daycare twice a week. Unlike other daycares I have been to, I can rest easy knowing that my dog is being well looked after. Their daycare staff is very experienced. Daycare is not only a fun place for my dog to play all day, but it has also helped her with her confidence and manners, it has really helped to shape the amazing dog she is today. All that said, I cannot recommend tails enough!

Only have used the puppy training and we loved it! Great class and learning tools. Awesome social environment for our pup! Also a great lending library!

What a great experience! Angela and team are obviously devoted to helping raise well loved, positively trained family dogs! Like new parents, we’re all tired, sometimes exasperated puppy parents… Tails a Wagging is an excellent guide to help us through!!! Many thanks!
