Dog Sitters in Purdy, WA

We brought both of our dogs to Mandy for board and train. Both of our pups are northern breed rescues, which makes them extremely independent and anxious in new places. Mandy was able to train both of them how to walk on a leash, sit, down, place and heel. Mandy was amazing with our dogs. She has a heart of gold that loves her job, dogs and we are so grateful for her help. Bonus is we now have a place we trust to take our dogs for daycare and boarding. Highly highly recommend Mandy!

My 10 month old mini American Shepherd (or Mini Aussie) Autumn went for a 2 week board and train and did amazing! Mandy is very sweet and encouraging in her training method, Autumn had a lot of fun. While Autumn is extremely smart, she has a lot of anxiety and can be stubborn. With 2 toddlers and a newborn on the way, I just didn’t have the time to set a side training her for leash manners and reactivity. I initially was worried about sending Autumn for 2 weeks as she’s my baby, I’m super proud of her and impressed with the amazing work Mandy has done with Autumn. I can see that there’s lot of positive reinforcement and praise involved in training rather than just corrections. Autumn loves Mandy and I can tell my pup was very much loved and enjoyed during the two weeks. Communication was always on point and she sent updates on Autumn’s progress all throughout with pictures and videos. My other high anxiety Aussie will be starting his board and train soon with Mandy and I’m super excited and less worried this time around. I trust Mandy will do her amazing work with Copper and that my baby is in good hands!

I just picked up my two bernedoodles after a two week board and train stay. It was a great experience. The trainer sent us daily updates with their progress. it included photos and a video showing what they worked on each day. The dogs loved her and seemed so happy to be learning. I spend a couple hours today at pickup being trained myself on how to continue their progress at home. It is amazing how much they learned on a week. I am looking forward to dogs with much improved manners and behavior! I highly recommend them!

My dogs aren’t the only ones who respond to positive reinforcement. Although I don’t get treats, I do get lots of encouragement from Wendy. I’ve learned a lot, my dogs are much happier and they love going to class. Training takes time and patience and Wendy really encourages these. It’s all been a positive experience and we’re looking forward to our next round of training.

Mandy did an amazing job with my doodle. He came home better behaved and listening very well. Would definitely recommend the 2 week training.

Our husky Margo has a great time staying and playing here! Great staff and facility, and Margo sleeps like a log after a day spent here 😴 …

Honestly best trainer on earth. Would never train any where else! She's so kind and sweet with my mini dachshund evee. My girl is 6months and has went through 2 courses with her so 8 single days of training and she's amazing. Very well behaved and can be in public without going crazy. 👏 I'm doing 1 more session with her for collar training and I'm very excited. Love Mandy!

Mandy was so great to work with and our pup is doing so well after two weeks of board and train. It’s clear he had so much love while staying with her but also learned so much. Come, sit, stay, easy walking on the leash and learning self control with behaviors like counter surfing and chewing, etc. He’s a much happier dog knowing what’s expected of him and that we’ll follow through in guiding him, and we are a much happier family who can thoroughly enjoy having him close by for all family activities throughout the day. So grateful for his training!!

Our 9 month old Lab was struggling with reactivity, leash walking, commands. 2 weeks later and he is a different dog! I have not left my dog with anyone, a tad overprotective. I was very comfortable and confident he was in good hands. Mandy is excellent and you can see he is happier with his new skills. I would highly reccomend that you work with this trainer to invest in your fur baby!!

I love taking my Cardigan Corgi, Tolven, to daycare here! They all love him and he clearly has a blast coming here. He always looks forward to going and comes home tired & happy :)

Like many dog owners, my cavalier is one of the family. I’m a bit over protective and certainly concerned for not only his health but his daily love of life. Where to leave him while going on vacation was a difficult decision until we learned about Rosedale Pet Resort. The personal care and attention he receives there and the upscale facilities make that decision easy, now. He has been going there 3 to 4 times a year for four years. We have always been very happy with the personal care he gets and the pictures and updates received. He always seems excited to be there when we drop him off and always excited to see us when we pick him up: much like we are excited to get to our vacation spot and then happy to be home once again. It’s always hard to leave my sidekick behind but I never have to worry about his welfare at Rosedale. I truly believe we both end up with enjoyable vacations.

Couldn’t ask for a better place to board our boy. I’ve boarded two of our dogs before and Amy is amazing as always, but this was the first time my Newfie boarded alone in the 12 years of his life. We recognized that he wasn’t doing well with riding the car long distance and with the summer heat, we thought he’d do better boarding. I was naturally concerned, but Amy knew him and reassured me that he’d do fine. She couldn’t have been more right. She sent us pictures daily and he looked so happy that I had the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation even though it was without him this time. There honestly is no better place for dedicated attention to the wellbeing of dogs, especially seniors. Our dog really came to life having been blessed with so much love and attention this weekend.

Today was our 5 month old puppy’s first visit. He has had very little interaction with other dogs or people. Amy was amazing, gentle and understanding . She made Ollie’s visit as positive as possible. He came home at peace. We feel extremely grateful to have found this pet resort.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience at Rosedale Pet Resort. Both my dog and cat stayed over Christmas Break and Mel sent me pictures everyday of both of them, letting me know how they were doing. Where the extraordinary service came in was when our flight got cancelled and extended for 4 days because of bad weather. Without missing a step Mel said she would keep our pets as long as we needed and to not worry. I had only packed enough food for the week they would be there, so Mel and her husband Jon went out in the snow and bought both our cat and dog their food! I was so overwhelmed with emotion. What an amazing small business to do this! We ended up getting in super late on New Years Eve so Mel kept them another night for us free of charge and said that Jon would even deliver the both of them to us in the afternoon. I am so appreciative to Mel, Jon and Rosedale Pet Resort. You can tell how much they love animals. I will definitely continue to use them in the future.

Mel took such good care of my three animals which consist of two seniors (cat and dog) and a younger dog. Mel was so good at communicating with me daily, sending photos and updates on each of them it made being away from them much easier. She offers the best customer service that I have ever received and I will not go anywhere else to board my animals moving forward. Highly recommend Rosedale Pet Resort!!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! We took our 3 year old goldendoodle to stay for the weekend while we attended a wedding. Drop off was easy, they gave Chewie time to get acclimated and then he had the best time playing and enjoying his weekend. I know, because Mel kept me updated with texts and pics throughout the weekend! It can be a little nerve wracking when you try a new boarding facility, but Rosedale Pet Resort made sure I was comfortable and reassured all weekend. After playing hard all weekend (and possibly rolling around I. The mud! 😜) it was such an amazing bonus to pick up our freshly bathed pup! Booking was so easy online as well. I was able to request the reservation when I was thinking about it and not try to remember during a hectic work day. I would highly recommend Mel and the Rosedale Pet Resort! Chewie can’t wait to go back!

Amy was fabulous with our dog George. He stayed for 10 days and had a terrific time on his daily walks. I would definitely recommend Rosedale Pet Resort. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby.

This was our first time using Rosedale Pet Resort for our eleven year old pup. From the first interaction with Mel, it was clear how passionate she is about taking care of animals. Rosedale Pet Resort stands by its name; it has a small “boutique” feel to it with personalized care. The grounds are fully fenced with trails and grassy areas for the pups to get lots of exercise. The “Deluxe Sleepaway Campout/Dog Bunkhouse” is private, secure and clean with a comfy dog bed and plenty of room to move around- there are no crates which is a big plus! Mel provided me with lots of pictures and updates each day and I could tell how much fun our pup was having playing with the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing that my pup was being so well taken care of. The icing on the cake was that Mel gives all dogs a bath just before pick-up time. My pup was so soft and smelled heavenly! We have the highest praise for Mel and look forward to using her services again.

THANK YOU to Mel, Jon and the Perry Kids for loving our dogs like they were your own while we went on a mini-vacation. We were beyond impressed with the ease of making an appointment via your website, your attention to detail to ensure the dogs needs are met while keeping them safe and having fun while they had their own vacation! Rosedale Pet Resort is exactly what Gig Harbor needed and we are lucky to have a local family care for our loved ones as much as they do. Our previous kennels felt cold/drop your dog and leave kind of places. The Perry's made us feel welcome and put our minds at ease as we were worried about leaving our Olde English Bulldogge because he is a bulldog! Stubborn, doesn't play nice all the time and loves to hog all the bed/food/treats! Mel assured us he would be loved, cared for and welcomed. Mel took the time to introduce Russell to others, gave him his allergy meds and made sure he had "his space" when he needed it. Lola our Boxer loved her time as well. Jon and Mel took the extra time to send us pictures and give us updates on them both. You could see the smiles on our dogs faces!! They were have an amazing time which made our time away even more enjoyable. BONUS: Lola and Russell got a bath before we picked them up which is included with the stay! We never had a kennel do this or felt this at ease with any other kennel. They are now home happy, clean and exhausted!! If anyone needs a place for their dog or cat we would HIGHLY recommend Mel & Jon Perry at the Rosedale Pet Resort! Thank you for caring and loving our dogs so much!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mel. I had several questions before my reservation and she answered them all in a timely manner. My two senior puggles stayed Monday-Friday while I was on a work trip. One of my dogs has several medication needs and behavioral quirks and Mel was willing to take them all on at no additional charge. I got regular updates along with adorable pictures and when my flight was delayed she even let me pick up after hours. I would board my dogs here again in a heartbeat, you can tell they are treated with care!

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET!! 1 star because my dog is still alive. This place is terrible. We took our dog to the Olalla location during the week of Christmas and the elderly woman at the front desk was very unprofessional, angry, rude to my wife and her employees. She lied about the size of the space our dog would be in. When I called to check on our dog, more if the same... very rude " Your dog is just fine!" Before they even checked on her. And then they didn't even check with the correct person that was working with our dog, if anyone was. When we finally came back to Washington and picked up our dog, the woman was quote rude and short with us again, and was rude with the younger employees as well. I told them several times not to bathe our dog and the woman acted shocked. They took a very long time to bring out our dog and when she finally came out, her nose was bleeding. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU LOVE YOUR PET!!

I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Lady at front desk came off as quite rude. Almost didn't leave dogs here because of that. Wish I would have followed my instincts there. When I picked them up. One of them was muzzled against our wishes. She is the sweetest thing and would not hurt a fly. Or older dog they let sit in his own urine and poop because they could not be bothered to pick him up and help him out. Do not bring your pets here, unless you don't care about them. I certainly never will again.

If you are considering boarding your dog here, I urge you to run away from this establishment. I am hesitant to post bad reviews, but this place is dangerous and people should know. First off, the older lady at the front is rude (just like every other review will tell you), I could overlook this, but the treatment my dog received here was UNACCEPTABLE. We dropped off a perfectly healthy and happy lab and picked up an injured, limping, terrified, trembling dog covered in scratches, open sores and missing patches of fur. My sweet boy came home terrified of people, cowering from me when he got home, and became aggressive barking and growling at the vet which is a behavior he has NEVER displayed before. My heart is saddened. Please learn from my mistake and take your business elsewhere. Your fur baby is worth it ❤️

Our kitty was the only cat that didn't look like they were on vacation. She's just a sour puss, I guess. Every other cat was perfectly content, some even wanted love from us. But our baby was hiding in the back of a cat tower. Despite her anti-social behavior, she was safe and cared for. We just got her home, and she's kinda extra skittish, but she's a cat so... It was very evident that the owner was not the kindest boss to her staff, but it was only her staff taking care of the animals for all that I could see. I am going to use a different boarding home the next time I need one, because I believe staff should be treated better. I would never work for or allow anyone I loved to work for someone who spoke to them that way. I had kinder Drill Sergeants. That said, this business provided a moderately priced service that was effective, and my kitty seemed better cared for than the staff.

To my readers, I really like this place! I have been bringing my four legged family member for quite some time. The staff is friendly and professional. They are very thorough with their expectations and with your as well. The kennels are nice and neat. They have sliding doors to their kennels so that they can have access to their runners. The one thing I really like is that they will allow you to take your furry legged family member to their rooms (Kennels). To me, this is very important. Although, its hard to say goodbye to my furry son, but it is important that they see you off than just handing a leash to a stranger to be towed off to a metal gated cell and not knowing what is going on. They do offer a lot of amenities for your love one. They offer daily walks (outside the compound). During the hot seasons, they offer a swim in their swimming pool and they will supply them with a frozen Pupsicles; a tasty treat for your baby (extra expense)! If you feel the need and you give them an expected time of return, they will take your baby and give him or her a bath along with a toenail clip (extra expense). Although, I have never used this service, but they have a REALLY cool kitty room. I love looking in there and seeing all the cats laying around in the cat trees. From what I can see, they do not look stressed out. Overall, I plan on using them again. Word of caution — they can get filled up quickly so please call in advance time to get your reservations on the books — if you like my post please submit “like” — thank you!

I couldn't ask for a better place to have taken my dog and 3 cats, multiple times!! The place is kept so clean and smells good Even! The owner genuinely cares and is very sweet, the ladies that work there really take pride in there job and kept me updated and there The greatest as well!! If I could give this place a million stars, I would in a heartbeat! I can't thankyou enough for taking such great care of my babies basically!!!! 💕 I will forever have my animals go here if needed!!! Thankyou again!!!!!!!

Joie (the owner) is fantastic and we are so happy to know her. Her facility is very clean, our animals are always extremely well cared for, happy and smell great when we pick them up! Her staff is lovely and clearly care about all the animals. Our friends/family that have boarded with her have had the same positive experiences as us with a range from toy to large breeds. We have been clients of hers for several years and will continue to be. Our dogs are excited to be dropped off and happy to see us when they get picked up. I wouldn’t take them anywhere else.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The old lady at the front is disgustingly rude to everybody that walks through her doors including her staff. She lets her own dogs wander around the front lobby and pee everywhere and doesn’t bother cleaning it up. She yelled at me to put my dog back in the car when I first went to drop him off which was strange to me since I can’t drop him off if he’s still in the car? I picked my dog up today and he has been non stop vomiting and seems completely stressed out in his own home. He has been wandering around the house for 3 hours and refuses to sit and relax. A lot more things went wrong here with my dog that I don’t want to type out. Completely disappointed with the service we got, especially with the high rates this place charges you. The only nice thing about this place is the young girls who seemed to genuinely love my dog. I feel bad for the staff that have to work under the owner. They should quit and never look back in my opinion, no one deserves to be treated the way that they are.

I’d like to start with the staff were very kind to me and from what I seen, my cats too. My problem is, they didn’t feed them the food I brought with them. I had brought 5 days worth of food for both of my cats and had given them instructions on when and how to feed them. None of that was done. As soon as I got home they both ate a full can of food, as if they didn’t eat at all while they were there. I did see dry food on the counter at the lodge for, what seemed to me, all of the cats. Unfortunately one of my cats has serious stomach problems and has been hospitalized several times before. I hope that doesn’t happen again. I should’ve listened to the reviews and steered clear of here. I’m not saying it’s not a good place but it’s definitely not right for me. If you have animals with specific needs, it would be in yours and your animals best interest to not stay here.

Have visited this lodge twice and both times my wild fur friends had the absolute best time! They came home happy and exhausted. They love the exercise time in the forested yard and I know the staff do everything to keep them fed, watered and pampered throughout their stay. The facility is clean and the staff are very welcoming and professional, they even wash your pets bedding before you pick them up. The owner runs a tight ship and truly cares about all her clients. She puts the safety of the pets first and goes above and beyond to accommodate her guests needs and requests. Highly recommend this place and it's services.

Highly recommend!!! I have dogs who do get anxiety but every time I drop them off, they happily trot off with the staff . The facility is clean & the area is set up really well. You drive/walk up and can see the owner's beautiful dogs. My dogs smell so good when I pick them up which tells me they keep their runs clean. They always come home with these adorable bandanas, & happy as can be. This last stay being so close to Halloween, the dogs were sent home with their "trick or treat" bags of dog treats. I appreciate the staff's understanding of all dog breeds and their care for the dogs when they are with them!!!!! Thank you for always taking such good care of my pups!

Professional and excellent customer service. We've been taking our Great Pyrenees here for almost six years now and he always comes home looking and smelling great!!

Wonderful kennel and professional grooming! Our shellie runs to see the staff when we drop her off, she loves them! Cricket, our sheltie always looks beautiful when we pick her up after grooming! Thank you!

We took our Rottweiler there for boarding. When we went to pick him up, Kimberly, the owner made several unwanted comments on our dogs weight. Another worker went in back and brought him out and said that he really didn’t eat very well while he was there . The owner then said “that’s not a bad thing!” The owner was extremely rude and we would never take our dog there again.

My dog and I highly recommend the grooming service at Gig Harbor Kennels. She came back looking great after I allowed her to get a bit ragged. Like a new pup (almost).

My great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepard mix stayed here for a week. The location is easy to find and is beautiful! We had a great experience. The owner and staff were extremely helpful and caring. She was well cared for. She was also clean and smelled great when we picked her up, better than when we left her! I highly recommend them and will continue to use them for all my dog boarding needs!

We left our 2 boxer babies with them and were very pleased with the service and care received. Easy drop off/pick up, nice grounds, our dogs came back smelling and looking cuter than when we left them. I could tell my dogs were more relaxed at this kennel than others we have used. Highly recommend and appreciate the care! Price is great, too.

Great place to board your dog! I am a protective dog mom of 10 year old English bulldog and I trust this facility with him. We’ve boarded our pup here for long stays and they always take great care of him, and he comes home in an adorable bandana! We have to make our dogs food and refrigerate it, all his food was dropped off at the facility in Tupperware and they gave us the Tupperware back all cleaned. Just great service, they go above an beyond!

Very good. My family and I drop our friends off here for vacation time and every time we pick them up they're healthy, happy and bathed! Wonderful service

I am new to the area and took my Mini Schnauzer, Levi for grooming. Levi had a huge smile on his face the moment we walked in which told me he felt safe there. Jodi did an amazing job! I am super picky! Levi has been running through the house with a huge smile because he knows he looks so handsome. I highly recommend Gig Harbor Kennel Groom & Board!

If you want your pet to feel at home, this is where you send em while you’re away! We left our baby boy Buster (Boston terrier) here while we left for 6 days (he never gets boarded usually), they took such GREAT care of him & sent us amazing photos the whole time which really put us at ease as you could see the joy & peace in his eyes, he was cared for like family, ate well, played with dogs & cats (he’s never been around cats but you could see he had so much fun), he slept in their bed & was part of the pack!!! He came home healthy & happy which isn’t typical of most boarding experiences we’ve had with our other dogs in the past, it is a home with a yard & not a cage, just such an amazing boarding experience like no other, you can tell the owners Love dogs & cats and are very experienced & very loving with animals, I’d very highly recommend this place to anyone, we will absolutely be returning, we won’t go anywhere else anymore!!! Val was very responsive/communicative & was wonderful to deal with, and again the pictures were so great!! Nothing but good things to say here!! I’d give more than 5 stars if I could as no other place could compare! ❤️

Val is absolutely wonderful! We took an 11 day trip (the longest we’ve been separated) and our pup did great! Our pup is a 12 pound Maltipoo and a bit of a stubborn drama queen. Val was super patient and babied our pup like her own. Highly recommend, especially if you have a smaller dog!!

Val and Ben are awesome! We have a tiny chiweenie that they took care of while we were in Hawaii. During that time we received updates and photos daily. Our baby came back healthy, happy and fully potty trained! (We were almost there! They completed it). Our girl was in love with them too.!

Our dog Biscuit has stayed here a few times now for both daycare and just recently for a week stay. He gets to play with other dogs all day which he loves and he has such a good time. Val sends us pictures of him and gives us updates and he always looks like he is smiling and having a blast! We know he is well taken care of while we are away and would highly recommend At Home in the Harbor. Picture included is from his most recent stay and after his bath.

We started using this place earlier in the year when our normal dog sitter did not have room for our dog. When we went for a trial visit, the house is clean with plenty of room for them to separate if needed (she has cats!). She treats them like they're her own dogs and lets them sleep wherever they sleep in your own home (crate, couch, even her bed!). Communication was great and we loved having pictures of our dog sent multiple times a day. I highly recommend At Home in the Harbor!

Val is the sweetest most caring animal lover. She will spoil your babies and send you wonderful pictures. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my young 3 month old puppy. She is amazing! Absolutely book with her you won’t regret it.(The photo attached is one she took of my boys)

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. My pack is my family and I would not leave them with anyone that would not treat them the same way. Valeria and Ben have become their favorite Aunt and Uncle and they always look forward to vacation time with them. Peace of mind is everything!

We've used Val for both daycare and for boarding. My 2 year old 90lb german shepard does not like people. The vet calls him agressive. Helo loved Val and her family from the start. We had several daycare visits. Each time I received updates, videos and photos. My dog always looked happy and comfortable. He gets all the play in that he could possibly want. We just did our first boarding. I received plenty of updates and it was much easier for Helo than it was for me. Helo was very happy to be there with no anxiety from being away from his people for the first time. She was able to offer for him to be introduced with cats for the first time. He was clean and happy when we picked him up. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my pup. If he cant be with our family for a day or a trip I'm glad he can be with hers!

They truly treated our pups like their own and made us worry about the babies less while we were on vacation. Will definitely be rebooking 💜. I mean look at my chihuahua during her stay, I’m pretty sure she didn’t notice her parents weren’t there …

Val and Ben are the absolute BEST sitters. Our dog, Hugo, stayed with them for almost 4 weeks and made their home our dog's home away from home- they shared their bed, sofa and gave him all the love and attention like their own. We got regular updates and photos from them and could definitely see their genuine care for the dogs they petsit. They even bought dog ice cream (with our consent) to cheer him up. Hugo came home so happy, bathed and brushed well. We are jokingly telling ourselves our vacation time now depends on Val's availability to dog sit Hugo. Highly recommend them for sure!

We had our Giant Schnauzer puppy’s hair cut and groom here for the very first time. All the staff were very kind, professional and informative and addressed all our questions with ease. The cut was just what we wanted. Thank you to the staff, we will definitely be coming back.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the amazing job Howllywood did to transform this little lady! Inches of thick matted mess, and WOW! She looks and displays feeling so much better! Thank you for making this little ladies life so much better today!

Our Corgi, Lili, loves Hollywood! She receives the best treatment and her grooming is absolutely perfect every time.

Staff is friendly and helpful. Boarding is reasonably priced. Dog came back smelling great, despite the fact that I didn't order a bath when he was boarded. The whole process was seamless.

My Lobster looks dashing and he will remain this way until he finds a puddle. We take him to Howllywood for his nails monthly or when needed, and recently for his grooming. He looks happy with how he looks based on the picture or maybe because he knows he is clean and got a lot of kisses and hugs from us. I will be taking Lobster to Howllywood again and again because of proximity and the awesome staff.

Great people here. Took my farm dog in for proper grooming. She's never been to a groomer before, but they made her comfortable, and she loved it. Details were on point. She looks great. Really reasonably priced as well. We will be returning as regulars.

Saved the day AND got our doggos back looking fresher then ever. We had a sitter cancel last minute and as we were dropping the dogs off for a first time grooming asked if there was any chance they could take two last minute over night guests. The front desk employee was very helpful and went out of her way to check and see if they could take them in.

Friendly staff and they did a great job on our 1yr pup for an affordable price! Will definitely be back!

I have been boarding my two dogs at Howllywood Pet Grooming for several years now and I couldn't be happier with the care they receive. Every time we drive up to the shop, my pets are excited and happy, which puts my mind at ease. I always opt for a bath on the pickup day, so when I come to pick them up, they are not only clean but also happy and well-groomed. The staff at Howllywood truly goes above and beyond to ensure that my dogs are well taken care of and I highly recommend their services to all pet owners looking for a place to leave their furry friends.

Very nice crew who kept my skiddish shepherd calm! My dog was happy to be there. I appreciated their feedback concerning my dog's behavior and interactions with other dogs. They seemed to know what they were doing and could "read" my dog. I Will be my boarding place from now on.

Dropped our dog off for a week while we were out of the country. Happy to find a place that allows him freedom (not stuck in a kennel all day), homelike environment and socialize with other dogs. They said he had a good time. The staffs seem nice. For those who plans to take their dogs here. They do charge 3% + $2 processing fees if you want to pay with a credit card (this would have been good to know beforehand).

We've been bringing our labs here for both kenneling and play, and they absolutely LOVE it. They start whining with excitement as soon as we get close to the facility. A few years ago, our yellow lab escaped from our fenced yard. Since we live nearby and he loves this place so much, I called Mary, the owner, just in case he headed that way. She immediately had her staff driving around the neighborhood looking for him, informed every customer dropping off or picking up their dogs to keep an eye out, and even made laminated flyers for me. It was unexpected and truly amazing. We have both a senior lab and a puppy, and the team here is fantastic with both of them. Our senior dog has a bad knee and isn't very mobile, so they've moved him to the small dog area before and even allowed him inside their home. Justin and Teresa have such great judgment! He also has pancreatitis, which requires carefully mixing his food and waiting 15 minutes for the enzymes to take effect, along with managing a lot of pills and ensuring he gets no other dog food or treats. They handle all of this with such grace, and I appreciate them so much. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Great doggie day care. Very reasonable rates. The staff are really good at taking care of our dog. We mostly do half days but sometimes we leave her for overnights when we travel. We have a high energy mixed breed and she always comes home exhausted.

We bring our two labs here for daycare and boarding. I love that the dogs get to be outside and more importantly, come home nice and tired. 😊 Mary and her staff are so wonderful. Highly recommend! …

Always a great experience. When our golden stayed for 10 days overnight he ran out of food. The owner saw the bag & went to MudBay to get the same brand. It was so sweet that he took the time to go above & beyond!

Debbie helped me at a time I had to re home my precious girl Emma. One of the hardest things I ever did. She did what she said she would! She found her a perfect family and she checked on her to see she stayed happy. Debbie is in this for the love of dogs!!! She has an ability to reach dogs that have been terribly abused. God bless you Debbie❤️

We have used Bed, Bark, and Beyond for over 10 years, and our dogs have always been wonderfully cared for. What makes this place special is that dogs aren't kenneled but undergo a test to get along with other dogs and then are being allowed to play and move around freely within their respective small and big dog areas. We have a boxer that goes into the big dog area and loves going to BBB - it's like doggy camp where he can play with other dog friends. I am picky with our chihuahua because he gets anxious easily being away from me and is a real lap dog. I wouldn't have him kenneled all day. BBB always takes special care of him. We have tried housesitters, but it's such a hazzle to get the house ready, and each time we come back, there are surprises waiting (fellow little dog parents you know what I am talking about)... With BBB, you don't have any of those issues because the dogs are professionally cared for. So if you have a friendly dog that likes to play with other dogs or a small dog that's your "baby," this is the place to use for daycare and vacations!!! Mary and Justin are the best!!!

I have an anxiety-ridden dog or at least I thought I had because every time we go somewhere he's super nervous and needs CBD. He had no problem from day one coming here. They show such love for the dogs and it shows. He absolutely loves it here and is excited to come. He doesn't use his CBD at all here. I have noticed such a difference in our fur kid and love it hear myself. They make us humans feel loved and accepted too. We have found our second home for our buddy. Thank you Bed Bark! 💞

Always a good experience. My dog seems to have fun! He comes back tired and easy drop off/pickup. Thanks for taking care of him!

After a traumatic event at another Gig Harbor cage free pet boarding facility, we decided to board our new dog at Bed Bark & Beyond. We love them, and so does our pup. The staff are very attentive and you can tell they love dogs. Even sent us update photos of our pup while we were away. Highly recommend.

As an employee: I would personally board my dog here if I didn’t work here, appropriate accommodations for practically any type or case of dog. Every employee is an animal enthusiast/ pet owner with the mindset of treating your furry family member like they where our own.

We recently boarded our two dogs at Bayside for 4 nights, and grooming. We discussed with them, about picking up our pups, since we were going out of town, we planned on picking them up in the early afternoon. We were told there would be a convenience fee for pick up after 4pm. When we arrived to pick them up at 1:04 pm, they included a charge for an additional night, "because you have to pick them up by noon". This was an additional $84 charge. We were not advised of this policy, and there was nothing posted in the lobby stating this policy, nor on their website. At the moment, and now in hindsight, I believe this information should have been emphasized when we made our reservation. It feels like we were misinformed of a very important aspect of their policy. I don't plan on boarding with them ever again.

We were visiting from pretty far out of town (ga) and needed to board our two dogs for a week while we took a cruise. We were nervous about boarding them as the dogs go everywhere with us, and the little one had never boarded. They were so accommodating, and you could really tell the owner and everyone there were dog lovers. They had a great time. Thank you so much.

We love Bayside. Our dog gets groomed here and has stayed many times. He appears to be happy and comfortable. The staff is great. Definitely recommend.

Had to board my two cats almost 3 weeks. Everyone was absolutely wonderful. Cannot recommend them enough. ❤️

Love this place! They take great care of our pup, both for grooming and boarding. A return customer for certain.

The staff is amazing. They gush over our Winston. We do doggy daycare where he gets to play with his doggy friends once a week, and board him there when we're out of town.

Staff actively listened to my concerns and addressed them all, making me comfortable that my Kenobi (8 mos kitten) with an irritated paw from surgery was well taken care of. Kristen was especially reassuring and went out of her way to make Kenobi secure AND she addressed his reddened paw (with my permission) with Colloidal Silver and intermittent use of the vet's plastic collar to keep him from licking. Oral meds were also given as prescribed. Kenobi stayed 3 nights and when I picked him up his paw looked 95% improved! I was very surprised and super pleased. ~~ The only downside to Bayside is the noise factor. Daytimes, their grooming business is quite loud and can be disturbing and, of course, some of their boarded dogs will bark, as you would expect. I expect there are cats & dogs used to this and for them it's not a problem, others may be stressed or overwhelmed by the noise. Maybe they adjust quickly, I really don't know. Remediating the noise factor with some soundproofing would be potentially expensive, I would think, but it would provide a much improved and more calm environment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overall experience: Really excellent and recommended! Thanks to all of the caring staff, and very special thanks to Kristen for your kind words of concern and extra care to my kitten. ~ Suzanne Riley October 15 - 18, 2021

Our family have used their grooming and boarding services. My small dog is a timid dog so his baths take longer than normal but the staff is always making sure my dog is comfortable and are always patient with him. My dog isn’t a fan of how loud the blow dryer is so they put an happy hoodie over his ears to make him comfortable. Also they always call me back the same day when I call to set up a boarding reservation . They have a small dog play yard and a big dog play yard and don’t charge extra for playtime like other places do. My sister in law has a chihuahua that does not do well in the kennel and they allowed her to be up at the front with them! Thank you Bayside Animal Lodge for always taking care of our babies.

Have taken our dog three times and he appears to really enjoy. He comes home and rests for a few hours. The staff is extremely pleasant and appears to be concerned with the well being of our dog. Have made new stay dates.

We’ve used Close to Home cat sitting services since 2021 and we are very grateful for the team! The cat team is so kind and communicative, it gives us great peace of mind when we travel! Scheduling is always so easy and Close to Home is so understanding and great at problem solving when we’ve hit unexpected travel changes. It’s always a relief coming to happy cats who hardly notice our absence lol.

I’ve been using Close to Home pet services for a couple years now. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service they provide! I have complete peace of mind knowing that my cat, Boots, is being well taken care of. All of his caregivers are excellent from Ben to Shannon to Lydia to Brooklyn. They all have a special way of showing Boots a lot of love and sending me entertaining reports with awesome pictures of him. Not only are they there for my cat, they also go above and beyond sometimes sweeping the floor, taking packages to other units when they’ve been delivered to me by mistake, or helping when a locksmith had to drill my lock when the batteries to my key pad died and no one could get in to my condo to feed Boots. (Thank you Ben)! Needless to say, I highly recommend this business, you won’t be disappointed! Angela

We’ve been clients with CTH since early 2023. I can’t recommend their services enough. I travel for work and my partner has to work long hours at the hospital so we knew we needed a reliable and trustworthy dog walking team. I couldn’t have asked for a better find with Close To Home. My dogs adore all of the walkers and we always look forward to receiving the cute and funny updates/photos of their time with the pups. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies. We appreciate you all.

I had to leave for a long trip, and they were so awesome in making sure my cats and house were taken care of! I definitely recommend using them if you want some peace of mind and detailed care visits :)

We've been using Close to Home for a few years now and only have great things to say about all of the caretakers! They take such wonderful care of our cat (including giving him medication) and send a full daily report including many photos. We can rest easy when we're away because we know our cat is in excellent hands!

We have used Close to Home for our cats for nearly three years now. They are incredibly responsive, easy to schedule and quick to answer any questions we have. My favorite part is the detailed reports we get daily while we are away- along with all the pictures. It makes being away easier knowing our cats are in good hands. Special shout outs to Ben and Brooklyn who most commonly are the ones who take care of our cats.

Close to Home is amazing. They’ve been taking care of my 15 yo cat when I travel for the past 3 years. Usually Ben is our sitter, and he is amazing with my very temperamental, arthritic and all around diva cat, Phyllis. Everyone who has taken care of my cat at CTH is wonderful. I appreciate and look forward to the detailed daily report card they provide, including many pictures of the fur baby. I can’t recommend CTH enough, and feel so lucky to have found a sitting service providing so much care and love to my pet.

We've been using Close to Home for over a year and have only wonderful things to say about the company. Communication is great, the dog walkers are the nicest and send the sweetest updates, and the owner/team has been incredibly flexible/understanding with helping care for our dog since he was a puppy. They even accommodated walks at a different location during a home renovation. They are the best!

We have been using Close to Home Pet Services for dog walking for our two large dogs for about 1.5 years and have been continually impressed with the dog walkers, including the owner Drew, and especially with the communication from both Drew and from the other dog walkers. One of our dogs is reactive, and every single dog walker has worked with her to curb her reactivity, and we have even noticed differences when we walk her now. Our dogs genuinely look forward to walks with Drew and the team.

I've been using Close to Home for a few years and they are so easy to work with, easy scheduling and communicating online, and wonderful visit updates with lots of pictures. I have two cats, one of which is pretty shy - the staff is absolutely superb and they take such good care of them! I can't recommend them enough!

Prison Pet Partnership has changed a LOT in the 5 years since our last pet's stay, mostly for the worse. It's nearly impossible to get anyone on the phone and the RunLoyal app is awful, charging us multiple times saying "service failure" and only corrected when we pointed it out. Our dog had a horrible experience there and we weren't made aware until day 4 when they told us to pick him up immediately with misleading characterisation of the situation. He came back with a scratch under his eye, limping, and 3 nails pulling away from his pads. A previously happy-go-lucky and VERY food motivated pup now sits around all day and won't touch his food. They did teach him a fun new behavior we have to correct, he growls at anyone in grey sweats, the same outfit the trainees wear. The only good service came from the groomer, who gave an honest account of his experience.

I was referred to Prison Pet Partnership by a trusted family friend when I was searching for a boarding kennel that would take my older than six month old intact Mastador. Not only has the boarding been outstanding in terms of care provided for my pup but I have also sent my dog through their board and train program. They did an incredible job with my boy and I couldn't be more pleased with the program, the knowledge and experience of the people working with my dog, and the coaching they provided directly to me. I went back a week after the two week board and train program for a refresher lesson with my dog and it tickled me to no end that as soon as he saw the woman who did the majority of his training he made a beeline for her, tail almost wagging itself off his body. I also believe that the women who are selected to work with the dogs are receiving a beautifully enriching experience. Though I initially found Prison Pet Partnership because they were one of the few places that would take an intact dog over six months, I absolutely plan to continue using them for all of my boarding and training needs even after my dog has been neutered.

Great place to take your pet for boarding! They are very professional, and you could tell the dogs were very well cared for. If you are thinking about taking your dog somewhere to stay - this is the place. Also I didn’t have to worry about my dog escaping and having to deal with that drama and stress! The prices were not the cheapest, but the people caring for our animals really care for them and want to take care of them.

Our Lab LOVES staying overnight! She always comes home happy and exhausted. Friendly staff, great service and amazing program!!!

The prison itself is amazing for dog boarding. My labrador always loves to go, And when she comes home sleeps for a week! The only downside this is the app you use for booking. It's a little clunky. Providing you can Get past the app For reservations your dogs will have an amazing time..

I've been bringing my dog here for boarding and grooming for about a year now. He seems to like being here and playing with the other dogs. They always do a great job grooming him. I like that he isn't crated at night, but has a large kennel instead. There are few oddities because it is a prison, but they're easy enough to deal with.

I made two appointments here after navigating through their horrible designed app. My first appointment was scheduled and then cancelled with 1 day notice. It was automatically rescheduled for THEIR next available that didn't work with my calendar. I called THEM to find a time that worked for me. That next appointment was 10 weeks out. Great, got it on my calendar (Wednesday, Jan 24, 2024). Today I got a text my appointment was cancelled b/c the groomer was on vacation and they moved me to February 12th (I am not available that day). I am PISSED, my poor pup needs a groom and their lack of planning and customer service sucks. This place must not need my business as they don't provide any customer service or care that I schedule my dog for a groom every 10 weeks and plan my day around dropping/picking up my pet. I told them to delete my file and I'm going back to Dapper Dog as they don't cancel my appointment without a phone call. I won't give this place another chance with my business.

My wife and I needed a place for our new small horse of a dog while we went on vacation and a friend recommended this. They took great care of him and he had a great time. They provided great updates and a nice report card at the end. The cost is comparable to other nearby programs and the benefits outweigh some of the hassle associated with the security provisions of this program.

Decent service, no real complaints about the boarding except maybe the prices. For almost $100 a day I could go on Rover and hire a private pet/house sitter for my dogs and let them be comfortable at home.

They did an amazing job of grooming and deshedding our Great Pyrenees. He was smiling afterwards and looks fabulous. We are very happy and will be repeat clients. The process of sending in the application and vaccine records and setting up the appointment was straightforward and everyone we talked to was very helpful and professional. Highly recommend!

The absolute best. If this is a service you need, stop searching now and call Ayn. She constantly went above and beyond for my babies. She helped administer medicine for two of my dogs, and gave special care to one who went blind and ended up losing her eyes. My oldest became critically I'll and frail. Ayn took very special care of him until his final days. I don't know what we would have done without her.

We have used Go Dog Go Tacoma for over a year now. My two dogs get considerable anxiety when we are away. Ayn has been amazing with them. She understands their different personalities and during her visits calms each dog as they need. We happened to have her pet sitting during a heatwave and then the next time, a snowstorm. She moved things around to create cool spaces for our pets during the heatwave and to ensure they were safe and on this last visit, we touched base to be sure the dogs were warm enough when it snowed. I didn't worry for a second about the pets! She has GREAT availability - and never travels between Thanksgiving and New Year's. My only regret is that she doesn't watch kids as well :). My kids love her and my daughter always swarms her when we're setting up pet visits. I trust her with my pets and I know that if something went wrong, she'd have their best interest at heart.

I was really in a jam when my senior dog sustained a critical back injury and needed to be seen asap, but my car was not running. Go Dog Go came to the rescue, and then went above and beyond when vet after vet gave us conflicting information, sending us across town on a wild goose chase. I will definitely use Go Dog Go in the future if the need arises, and recommend them to anyone in need of a conscientious and caring professional for help with their canine-related needs.

Unfortunately I had to cancel last minute because of a situation beyond any of our control. GDG, was already on their way. The lady that came by(so sorry forgot your name)was extremely nice and understanding. I felt bad about cancelling so late so paid GDG half the fare it would have cost me. I also booked for 2 weeks out. Very respectful of fur your babies. Tansy her beloved companion is always on duty.🙂

Thank you for the rating. I really enjoyed taking care of your pets while you were gone. They are sweetie pies.
