One of my absolute favorite sits! Communication was amazing, Hob and Pixie are cute, sweet, and playful, and the space is so beautiful and comfortable to stay in. Would sit here again in a heartbeat and recommend to others!
The house-sitting at Conny's house was wonderful, the cats are very fun, each one has their personality and as they get to know you they become more affectionate, they come to look for you and we love that :) Conny is a perfect host, easy and quick communication, generous and concerned that we were well. The house is spectacular, new, clean, tidy and in the middle of nature with impressive views. We had our own room and bathroom and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. We were very happy this month of house-sitting and with pleasure we would repeat at Conny's house, mainly for cuddle all the troupe again :))
I loved staying in Caroline's home with Ollie and Bella! The neighborhood conveniently has lovely walking paths, shops, and a nearby train station. It was raining when I came in so Caroline and her husband were kind enough to give me a lift. The pups were very easy to care for and had fun personalities to interact with. Ollie is a total hoot and we had so much fun together. Bella was still a puppy when I was with her and she was learning so many things very quickly which was fun to watch. They also have a lovely home that is kept clean and organized. The kitchen is perfect for putting something together or you can always order from one of the many delicious restaurants in the area. Caroline provided me with a great list of places to try and all of them lived up to the hype! There was a slight change of plans for their trip based on weather conditions and I was lucky enough to spend more time with the family and loved the bonus cultural exchange I got. They really treated me like family and made me feel welcome. 5 "thumbs up" does not do this housesit justice. It was such a great experience and anyone would be lucky to house-sit for this amazing family and their sweet pups.
Ava and Ziba are two very different cats that are a joy to watch! Ziba is a bit shy at first, but despite his grumpy face, he loves to be picked up and cradled like a baby once he gets to know you. Ava is very smart and loves to do tricks for treats! He also loves to join you on camera for meetings :) Both kitties are very curious and playful but are careful with their claws; a sign that they were raised with TLC! Maryam is super accomodating and is a master of communication. Ziba's paw had issues while we were watching him, and Maryam did everything she could to make it as easy as possible for us to take care of him, including making a vet appointment for us, being available for a call during the appointment, and getting additional meds delivered to us via Uber. It was really reassuring to get quick, proactive replies from her while we were treating Ziba's wound! Thank you for the opportunity to get to know your adorable cats and to explore Little Caribbean - an area full of quaint and delicious restaurants, bakeries, and bars! We hope Ziba has made a full recovery!
Where do I even begin? When we first talked with Vanessa she was incredibly kind and we hit off immediately. We even got a chance to FaceTime with Charlie beforehand and the cuteness on screen and in photos does not do justice for the sweet dog that is Charlie. Our housesitting experience was great, the house is in a great location (close to tons of cafes and shops in the heart of LA) and very lovely comfortable home. Charlie is just about the easiest and most loveable dog. We actually missed him a lot after we left. Would highly recommend Housesitting for Charlie and Vanessa and Mike!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at William’s historic Tudor home. The characterful house is beautiful as is the surrounding property. The two cats and two dogs were incredibly well-behaved, affectionate and loved a cuddle or being stroked. Bonnie even fancied herself a lap-dog despite her size! All four animals were extremely good with our toddler as well. Communication with William was good and most importantly, he left very thorough written instructions. We would definitely return in future and would highly recommend to others!

These guys are the best and I'm picky who I entrust my dogs with. They treat them like family and are very thoughtful
We have hired Totally Tails Pet Care Services to take care of our two indoor cats many times over the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased. We receive daily email photo updates along with thorough, detailed reports while we are gone. We know they get plenty of attention and affection because our cats are always cheerful and calm when we get home with no signs of separation anxiety. Thank you Michele for your great service!
Totally Tails Pet Care Services has provided excellent, caring and reliable dog walking/pet care five days a week for the last year for our two Golden Retrievers (our dogs are now one year old and nine years old). Our family is so impressed with the level of service and professionalism provided by Totally Tails Pet Care! I highly recommend them! The daily pictures of our pets, which they email us, are just the best. It is so reassuring to know that our furry family members are well cared for while we are at work.
I hired Totally Tails to watch after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I knew I didn’t want to kennel them, so I was excited about someone coming to my home to feed, exercise, and care for my pups. Not only do they do a fantastic job of exercising the dogs they sent DAILY photos and follow-ups of their health and progress. These reports made me feel very comfortable with Totally Tails. They also rotated indoor lighting so as to give the impression that someone is always home. Superb service! Beats kenneling when your pups are in their home environment. I will contract with them again!
When it comes to Totally Tails, I have nothing but positive things to say. We trust the entire team completely and know that our dogs are in great hands when we're away. Even if our regular sitter isn't available, there is always someone on standby to ensure our pups receive all the love and attention they need. Ramona runs her business with precision and ease, making scheduling and communication a breeze. We feel lucky to have Totally Tails in our dogs' lives and highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care services.
This was the best pet care service we have ever experienced. An excellent value. The daily 30-minute visit was packed with focused attention to our cat's specific needs: food, medication, daily litter box cleaning, brushing, play time with treats, supervised outdoor deck time (indoor cat), and loving lap petting time. We received a daily review with pictures that served as both comfort and joy to us while we were away. Absolutely reliable. Knowledgeable about animal care. Loving and attentive. Professional. Responsible. Attentive to detail. Michele made sure we provided for unanticipated problems prior to leaving so our bases were covered in any event. THE BEST. We came home to a calm, happy, well cared for cat.
As fellow pet care providers we are quite picky who we leave our pack with should we go out of town. Ramona took care of a large zoo of animals (game birds, fish, Guinea pigs, and dogs). Her updates were thorough, and we came home to a clean house and happy animals. If you need a professional you can trust, you've found one here. Part of why we never leave town is not having had anyone we felt comfortable leaving them with, but now we do!
I love Michelle! We trust her implicitly with our dog and home. She goes above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans and packages when she's at our home for a dog visit. She sends us texts and pictures of our dog so we know she's taken care of. And she insists you text her that you're back home so she's assured your pet is safe. That's excellent care! Highly recommend her!
Camano Pet Sitters hav been taking care of my two Springer Spaniels for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I have the peace of mind of knowing that my dogs are being loved and cared for when I have to be gone during the day. I don't know what I would do without Michele, Pat and their crew of dog lovers. I highly recommend them for you and your pet!
I was stressed, four sorta feral cats and I had to take a trip. My vet said boarding was a bad idea because none of them would adjust well - in addition to being expensive. Camano Pet Sitters to the rescue! Not only did they do a professional job I think they made headway with my cats who were actually peeking out at them by the end of the week. I cannot recommend Camano Pet Sitters highly enough - they are now my go to folks when I have to travel. My neighbors, who travel regularly, were so impressed by the level of professionalism and caring my pets received they will be switching to Camano Pet Sitters.
Always a great experience - Team Animal Inn, thank you so much for your amazing, seamless care of our dog. I never have to worry about her when she's there, which makes vacation and work travel time much less stressful.
This family owned business is amazing. We felt very comfortable leaving our babies here while we explored the island. They even sent us photo updates. We will be using them again!
Our pup Katy seemed to have a fine time being day boarded at Animal Inn. It’s in a great location. The staff was friendly and professional. We would definitely use them again.
A lovely spot that clearly loves animals big and small. Clean and super well run. Would’ve given five stars but was charged a $50 late fee for being only 12 minutes lates past check in. Frustrating since this is when the 4:30 ferry gets you in. And felt excessive since it’s only $40/day for the boarding.
Wonderful service. Even though they couldn’t accommodate the dog for the dates I was asking, they called me back and gave some pointers on who might be able to help. Very impressive given that it’s a small island and it might be difficult to find boarding. Really appreciated it and will check back next time.
These people are very professional and very accommodating. At last minute they took in our doodle Max. They needed all the right paperwork for vaccinations and were adamant for the safety of the other animals. Max needed one of his vaccines administered due to it being almost a year and the vet stepped in and gave him the shoot just so he can board for the day. The lady that owns it was very nice and the 2 gals that worked the front office were very sweet. Their facilities were clean and lots of open space for animals. I would trust my dogs or animals with them anytime. Safe source and service right here.
Wonderful people, great service, our girl, Frankie comes home happy and safe.
We are so lucky to have this business on the island! It is run so professionally, and the staff all truly love dogs and take awesome care of the boarders. They're meticulous with paying attention to detail as well. My dog loves to go here :)
Wonderful, caring staff. My puppy loves everyone at Animal Inn. It is reassuring to know that she is happy and safe. Outstanding and highly recommended.
These folks care about your pets. We could not have been more comfortable by their attentive nature before and during the time we dropped off our two dogs. More importantly, our dogs were not stressed out when we picked them up after 4 days in the care of the very loving staff. Annie and Snoopy say thank you and we thank you as well.
Our go-to place to board our 2 Scotties. They built the building with separate areas for dogs & cats. Very caring and dedicated Staff. Senior discount for stays more than 6 nights.
Beautiful, peaceful setting for a walk in the woods with my fur baby.
The staff was very welcoming. I have never boarded my dog before and the moment I walked in everyone was giving my girl so much love and attention I felt at ease. It’s very clean I lover pulling up to the red barn and green fields. This is a very comfortable space.
Writing this review to hopefully help others because we were completely blindsided. THIS PLACE IS FAR FROM A RESORT!!! I did some research and Dogwood came recommended by others in the area. Looking at their website, I didn’t think it would be a traditional kennel, and that’s what they advertise. We went for a tour and I was appalled. I guess I didn’t do enough research because after reading some other reviews just now, I likely would have never set foot in this facility. Just looking at this the owner has responded to some negative reviews is very telling. I can’t imagine how these employees treat the pets staying here. First, the staff member who led the tour was far from friendly. She didn’t seem like someone who would give my dog any love or attention. If you go to the website and read the history, you’ll see that they opened this business to not be like other kennels. They state “some kennels are dark, windowless buildings with poor ventilation, cold floors, and low ceilings.” Upon entering the kennel, everything about that statement was true about Dogwood. The smell of urine could be smelt through a mask. The kennel area was extremely claustrophobic. Sure there are a few windows way up high, but overall it was dark and felt like a depressing animal shelter. They only let your dog out of the kennel twice a day for ten minutes. If you would like your dog to be let out more, you can pay to do so. Reading other reviews, this place charges for every little “upgrade” that seem like normal parts of our dog’s lives. To me, it was clear this place was just there to make money. I didn’t get the sense from the atmosphere or the employee that they would care at all for my dog. If you are looking for a place that would love and care for your dog, save yourself the time and don’t bother with Dogwood.
Deserve zero stars. Picked my dogs up after 4 days of boarding. They handed me back over 3/4 of the food I had given them. My smaller dog's face looked sunken in. Took them home bathed them then weighed them. Smaller dog had lost 10# and larger dog had lost 8#. They claimed they fed them twice per day, impossible considering how much food was returned and weight loss. Gave them enough food for those 4 days and like I said over 3/4 was returned. I've read other reviews that state they only let the boarded dogs out twice per day. After this stay I would wager a bet that they only see them once per day period. Feed them, let them out and see-ya tomorrow. I have large dogs that require 4 cups of food per day and they were given closer to 1.5 cups per day. If you love your dogs do NOT leave them in their care.
So clean and a great talented staff. They really know what they're doing here and your dogs and cats will be well taken care of, highly recommended!!
I used the Dogwood for years when I lived on Whidbey Island. This place is truly special and provides amazing care for furry friends. Every time I'd round the corner and head down the street toward the Dogwood my dog would get so excited! He absolutely loved it there. He required multiple medications and treatments and the staff always made sure he was well taken care of. He always came home exhausted and happy. Thank you to everyone at the Dogwood (especially you, Colleen) who made the time my friend spent on the island magical. He has since passed over the rainbow bridge but I am happy he was able to spend so many wonderful years visiting this place. Thank you to all the staff who make this place what it is.
We’ve been taking our sweet Stormy girl to Dogwood about every other month for the past six months for 5-10 days at a time. She’s had the best of time there. She’s always excited when we pull up and they are always happy to greet her when she comes in. Everything has been very straight forward and our dog has been very well cared for. This is a big deal not only to myself but my kids to knowing that she’s in good hands!♥️
Please reconsider taking ANY pet here!!! You may have the belief your pet will be safe, happy and well cared for, but that couldn't be further from the truth!! These animals are left unattended in cement cages for 14 hours a day, 5PM to 8AM. They may get an outside break for a total of 20 minutes a day, at times this doesn't happen as the staff may "run out of time" keep in mind they will NEVER miss a smoke break. There is constant barking and loud noises throughout the day, aggressive dogs are not muzzled and certain dogs who are visibly shaking are not given extra attention or care for their fear and anxiety. Additionally, when a well intending person pays extra $ for their pet to receive extra playtime, it will be too much of a burden for the staff, yet it gets marked down as a provided service. Please consider leaving your dog in its known environment and hire a person to check on and actually care for your pet. I have personally used WAG before and I have had great success.
I should have read more of these reviews. We took our pup there twice to be socialized, both times he came home stressed and nauseous not having spent any time with other dogs and the excuse of "maybe next time." I want to believe they are spending time with my pup but suspect he's spending the day stressing in a kennel, taken out only occasionally to relieve himself. There won't be a "maybe next time." Not a good fit for us and if you want your dog socialized I recomend you look elsewhere as well.
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.
Best Daycare/Boarding EVER! My pup has been going to STYD since she was 4 months old. Now at 3 years, this is her home away from home. She is so well cared for and I am able to enjoy my time away from her knowing she is in the best of hands!
I take my dog here for day care once a week. He absolutely has the best time and always comes home completely exhausted. Every person who works at smarter thank your dog loves and cares about the animals that come in here. My dog is always happy when we drop him off and he’s always happy and tired when we pick him up. It’s a great place for him to get good structured dog socialization skills!
Smarter Than Your Dog provided last minute boarding so that we could coordinate and attend a quickly pulled together wedding for a family member. It was a bit of a scramble but Kelly accommodated my continually changing schedule and provided excellent care for our dog who has, in the past, only stayed with family members. I was sent emails, pictures and a report card explaining how she was doing! I highly recommend Smarter Than Your Dog and and so appreciate how well our sweet pup was cared for in our absence. Thank you!!!!
We had a family emergency and found ourselves needing to board our dog. Our sweet, but shy, rescue pup had not previously been boarded before. I was nervous but each staff member I encountered from our meet and greet, dropping off, and picking up at STYD was so kind and understanding. I felt like they truly cared about the well-being of our dog and calming my nerves. I would definitely recommend their boarding services.
I highly recommend! Smarter than your dog is fantastic. My puppy is super excited to spend the day with “his pack”, I get piece of mind knowing he’s well taken care of and he’s all tuckered out at the end of the day. They do an exceptional job, especially in these unusual times, balancing friendly customer service and high quality experience with solid health and safety protocols.
I have 2 whippet puppies and started taking them to day care as soon as they were old enough. STYD did a wonderful job of assessing their needs and aligning them with a pack that would work best for them. I just went on a trip for my son’s wedding and we boarded the puppies for the first time. I was able to enjoy the trip because of the fabulous care and communication they provided. I called everyday and they were so understanding. They also provided report cards on how they were doing with pictures. Every person I’ve interacted with at STYD has been fabulous. This is the only place I would trust with my puppies. Before the puppies I use to take my greyhound to STYD. Unfortunately he passed away. So my comments with STYD has been for the care they provided for 2 years, first with a mature greyhound and now the puppies.
I took my Rough Coat Collie in to be groomed today. We have never been there before (our previous groomer passed away). She looks STUNNING! She needed quite a bit of work done- the staff was non judgmental, kind, caring, and compassionate. I'm so thankful for the wonderful job they did, and I'm so fortunate to have found a team of amazing people to take care of my sweet girl.
We have been taking Sunshine to Smarter than your Dog since she was a about 5 months old. We are first time dog owners and on a whim we stopped in there one day to see what it was about. The staff is wonderful. They loved Sunny instantly and it was the start of something beautiful. Over a year later and Sunny goes to camp every Monday. And she will tell you what day it is, Monday's are her favorite! She comes home at the end of it and puts herself to bed- she gets so exhausted from running with her pack! We love Smarter than your Dog. It gives our girl the chance to just dog-out. I trust the staff and love how much they love the dogs. As a bonus, we can get her nails done whenever she needs them trimmed-rhe onsite groomer makes life so easy!! I will say, that I am likely the random person who saw you walking your pup and recommended this business. I make a point of it because they have been so good for our dog. Try it out, can't hurt and your dog may love you even more!!
The groomers at Smarter than your Dog were really great, working us into their schedule and giving our two dogs one of the best nail trim & grinds they've ever had. We also very happy with STYD's emphasis on health and safety of the dogs and people. Thank you! We will be back!
I have been bringing my dog Luke to STYD for a year now. I really appreciated how Kelly took the time to figure out what days Luke would mix well with the other dogs due to their individual personalities. Luke LOVES going to daycare and he leaves tired every time. The staff communicates well with me should they notice anything out if the ordinary in Luke’s behavior or if there is anything I need to keep an eye on. It is a great feeling to be able to leave Luke and never worry about him. I know that he is being well taken care of by the staff and he’s having a great time playing with his four legged friends! We are moving soon and STYD has set the bar very high for me to find another place for Luke.
My Frenchie Lulu has been going since she was a Puppy and she absolutely loves it here. .It has helped socialize her with other dogs and she loves Tia and Quentin as well as all her doggy friends. I'm so thankful they are here in town❤️
Our Chiweenies love coming here and the amazing staff really cares for them. It’s been such a relief to have help on busy work days when I am not able to take my pups out for exercise and activity. Our fur babies always come home happy and tired. The rates are amazing too. Very fair and affordable. We have been coming often for more than a year and highly recommend Wiggle Waggles.
I was heading to Anacortes for the weekend and needed last minute daycare for my German Shepherd. Wiggle Waggles went out of their way to accommodate Arlo. The staff were wonderful and caring. What a wonderful facility. I highly recommend them.
I dog sit for my daughter, and when I bring the dog to the daycare, the staff is always so friendly and our dog runs to meet them. He’s so excited to be there.
We love wiggle waggles. They take excellent care of our Australian Shepard Roman. He loves all of the dogs and has a great time. Comes home exhausted. Excellent staff and the owner is super nice. Plus they do excellent grooming. He smelled amazing for days. I highly recommend them for all your dogie day car needs. Great location in the heart of Anacortes.
Wiggle Waggles was the easiest drop off experience we’ve ever had with doggy daycare. The staff received our baby with open arms and excitement and we could not have been more confident leaving for the day. We had given Linnea notice that we might be returning after hours because of the ferry schedule to Friday harbor, and not only was she accommodating for after hours but she continued to care for our dog Ro after we had missed two ferries! She stayed long after close to make sure our girl was not alone and got the care she needed. We couldn’t recommend Wiggle Waggle any more!!
My one year old miniature dachshund has done great at Wiggle Waggles. She was originally apprehensive of bigger dogs (she is 9 pounds) but since going here, she will now go up to dogs over 100 pounds to touch noses and greet them. Linnea is amazing as is the rest of the staff. Highly recommend Wiggle Waggles!
So very grateful for the care they gave my 15 week old puppy. She was happy to see me of course but she received great care & love while at Wiggle Waggles! Such a great service while on vacation & out whale watching!
We were visiting family and used Wiggle Waggles Doggy Daycare for our 2 German Shepherds. They had a great time and they were tired when took them to our hotel. It is nice to know our “girls” were in a safe environment.
Abbey loved attending doggy daycare this summer! I knew my high-energy dog would be well taken care of, and would come home tired from playing hard. Thank you Linnea and staff for taking such great care of her!
Our poodle has stayed there four times and we are well satisfied with the are and facilities. We have full confidence in Jane's management.
My dog is five years old and had never been boarded. She generally stays with family. She did not love being boarded, but she was safe and well taken care of. There is ample exercise time and doggie playtime is supervised. She was just getting used to it and making friends when we picked her up. We will slowly get her used to it.
Jane is wonderful, generous, kind woman who goes out of her way for her furry clients as well as their pet parents! We will be return customers.
Jane has been our go-to for pet care for years and through 2 dogs. She's experienced, caring, and both of our our dogs have loved her. We make the drive from the Kitsap Peninsula. Her care for our pup is that good!
I got to drop my friend's precious puppy (ok he's a dog) here while she was in the hospital and Jane was so nice and helpful with the care of my friend's dog that it relieved a lot of stress on my friend! When I picked the dog back up he was happy and healthy and well taken care of.
Jane has been taking care of our labs when we travel for the last 15 years. She is wonderful and our dogs have always loved visiting her.
We came from Tacoma and looked up on Google. Called and talked to Jane and felt very comfortable with her. Left Jenny for daycare the next day.. ...she was just fine with her stay. We will go back when we need doggie daycare.
Cozy Care has been a great choice for boarding our Yorkie-Poo, Lucy. She gets personal attention & care, exercise and comfortable residence. We love knowing she has a good place when we have to board her.
Jane provides a safe environment for my dog. I always know he is receiving wonderful care.
Very good experience for us and our furry babies. Staff was very kind and helpful, the pups were very well cared for. Highly recommend!
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 just want to tell you that you guys are totally awesome. My dogs are awesome. I really appreciate it. Take care of my dogs and I look forward to having you take care of them in the future and we will get you paid up in full. plus I’m thinking about you guys all the time you’re the best. Thank you the Berglund family Rudy and stinky also. I wanted to tell you it was because of you we were able to get our house move out of the trailer and keep Rudy and stinky rThank you very much we are very thankful.
Dogs are family. Leaving them in a safe place means everything. I don't have to worry about my dogs when I leave them here. It's not easy to leave them anywhere because I love them. However, the set up here for dogs, is a tightly run safe haven. There are many safety measures in place, which I appreciate. The dogs are housed behind many doors: shut one before opening another, with the "runs" having an indoor heated sleeping area that's accessed by a tightly latched "dog door" that opens at hip level for easier control of dogs NOT simply running out. Its a great place, that has obviously been well thought out. From a protective "mama" (me), I whole-heartedly recommend this kennel.
Wonderful small, family-run kennel with friendly staff, clean premises, large indoor-outdoor runs with heated floors to keep your pup warm and cozy on chilly nights. We boarded our 3 dogs here while we explored the San Juan Islands on bicycles. The dogs had a great time, and so did we! They even have professional groomers on-site, so you can get an exit bath or hair and nail trim all as part of your visit. Definitely recommend!
I moved to the area last February and needed to have my kitty housed. They were AMAZING!!!! They cared for my kitty when I couldn’t and did everything just the way I would have when I couldn’t have her where I was. I showed up to drop my kitty off not knowing what to expect really nervous I mean this is my family (kitty) and a lot of what you hear are horror stories not knowing if I would be comfortable and able to leave her, as soon as I walked in I felt at ease then talking with the front office lady( VICKY) she was AMAZING! She was so sweet to my kitty and my kitty loves her, the owner Chris is AMAZING as well he would go in the evening and would love and play with her! They are amazing caring understanding and easy to talk to! I would call or come in and she always loves to share what’s been going on making sure I am informed all along the way telling me the cute funny things my kitty was doing! I have never had to house one of my animals before so also being new to the area and hearing all the horror stories this was scary but So GLAD I found this place. IF YOU WANT A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS HANDS DOWN NO QUESTIONS ASKED! If I had to house another animal this would be the place! Thanks again for all the help and love 💕 you provided to my kitty! If you want a positive experience this is the kennel I WOULD choose!!!! I’ll bring her back to visit 😊
First off I feel completely lied to. The website and signs at the boarder say that we can book two dogs (under 110lbs) in a shared run for 36 a night. This is false and apparently hasn’t been an option since 2016. Instead our dogs who are never separated were forced into a small cubby and into a narrow run surrounded by other dogs, separate from each other. There were no updates that most kennels offer and when we called we got minimal information that everything is fine. Going to pick up our dogs was almost as bad. Our youngest was absolutely terrified to come towards the cubby despite loving people making us wonder just how good things actually were. The kennels smelled horrible and looked filthy. I would never recommend this to someone who has more than one dog or who wants a good quality experience for their dogs.
We took our German Shepard here for the first time last week to be groomed. Vicki was very nice and up front, prices are very reasonable and his nail trim looked great, not too short. I prefer to support local businesses over box store grooming services and I would recommend Vicki and Sunnyhill Kennels, we will definitely be a repeat customer.
Very dissatisfied 😡 we took our 9 year old Maltese to them for the first time to be groomed. Our little dog looked like she was cut with a hack saw. The worst grooming I have ever seen in my life!!!!!! And this little dog is very used to groomers. We thought we would try this place because they were close to home. Margarite( the owner) was rude and was making excuses for how horrible our dog looked. No sympathy from her folks! She said she worked on our dog for 3 hours scissor cutting her. More like she torchered her for 3 hours 🤬
This was a hard one for me. I was not impressed with the standards of the "kennels" considering I had to put my dog in a small wood box with a "bed" that was wood raised 1/2 inch off the ground. There was a hole in the box that led to their runs which were just chain link fencing. The part that really got me was the terrible horror movie alarms that are right by the runs blasting a screeching alarm at the dogs every time someone drives in or out. This is not where you should take your dog if they are spoiled or have anxiety. This place is more for outside dogs or farm dogs. The people were nice, nothing against them. My personal opinion is I would never leave my dogs in those "kennels".
I like the way my dogs are treated and Vicky is great. Very friendly and personable. Reasonable grooming prices too. I had a problem and Vicky and the staff fixed it for me immediately 😅 very pleased. …
Our dogs enjoyed their stay, we were very happy with the bathing service. Vickey made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care.
