Myles and Krystina house/pet sat for us for 12 days. From the beginning they were such a nice couple - always responded in a timely manner to correspondence and we got a good feeling about them right away. They came over to our house shortly before the sit so we could show them Johanna’s medicine and where various things were in the house. During the sit they were in communication as often as needed and when we came home - the house was extremely clean and the cats happy and healthy! I have no hesitation recommending Myles and Krystina for any house or pet sit - they were great - we were very happy and glad to have met them (and chosen them to sit) Thanks again Myles and Krystina!
They came to meet us and Evie( the dog), at the house before the sit. I could then go on my holiday assured that all would go well. During the sit, they were self sufficient. They sent us regular photos to show that Evie was enjoying herself. When we got home, the plants were watered and the house was very clean

When we first contacted Pete he was super responsive and he was able to take King on July 4th weekend for boarding. As we did our research we realized this wasn’t a commercial place where they have a large amount of dogs which we really wanted for King We told him he had separation anxiety and said it wouldn’t be a problem. We also received updates from him throughout the day. Pete’s accommodation for late pick up was greatly appreciated since we were held up from our drive on the way to get him. Upon arrival, King looked super happy to see us, looked well rested and fine. Pete said he was a perfect dog and we really appreciate his words! We’ll definitely have Pete take care King for boarding and day care if needed. Thank you Pete!
Pete was an enormous help to us when I was having my baby. He was willing to have a flexible drop off time, and he even said that he would leave his phone on in case the baby came in the middle of the night. When it was time, my dog (who had never met him) instantly liked him and was happy to be left at his house. Pete sent pictures of my dog having a nice time, and seemed genuinely happy to have my dog stay with him. He even gave my dog a toy to take home with us! Pete's services were above and beyond what I was expecting, he treated us like friends even though we were strangers. I am so happy we found him, and I would absolutely recommend him!
We needed a place for our reactive dog to stay for the day while went for a hike on a trail with many other dogs. Pete was responsive & communicative and sent us many photos of our dog. Thank you so much!!
Pete does a good job at reasonable price. Very reliable and consistent. Plus allows late pickup which is useful for travelers like me.
Such an amazing and stress free experience! We were expecting and didn’t really know how to plan for dog boarding. When I called to inquiry, I was met with ease free info and assurance that they’ll work with us and completely understand. We have two bulldogs, and when we picked them up they were both in good spirits. One of our dogs is a lot to handle. They seemed to have no issues and were very understanding. So grateful for Seattle Dog Boarding and allowing us to focus on welcoming a new baby girl while our dogs were in good hands!
Absolutely the most inhumane and unprofessional doggy daycare. Lets just say we didn’t end up leaving our dog at Seattle Dog Boarding but they charged us for the entire booking. So be forewarned… They make you pay upfront with no tour of the facility; which hindsight all makes sense as if you saw the rundown house and the folks that live there you wouldn’t leave your dog there either. Pete wasn’t there when we showed up to drop off our dog. No one answered the door, so we called Pete hoping we were at the wrong location. He had to call a “roommate” to come to the door. By that time, we already decided that we weren’t going to leave our dog there and politely asked for our money back. The roommate said we needed to handle with Pete who finally texted us and said there are no refunds but we could book for another time. I can see Pete asking for us to pay for the first day and reimbursing us the remaining amount but no he outright refused.
So happy we found Pete and Seattle Dog Boarding to take care of our huge 7 month old puppy and our 15 year old dog. They are at such different stages in life and I never thought I would find someone to handle both of their needs. We just returned from a 10 day trip and both dogs were so well cared for and came home happy and healthy. The senior dog had space to chill and relax and the puppy had a blast playing with other dogs. Thanks you Pete and everyone at Seattle Dog Boarding for taking such great care of Cleo and Bear!
Worst doggy daycare experience of my life. Incredibly unprofessional and not to mention expensive, as a single day of daycare is $69 (which they make you pay up front with no tour of the "facility", which is just a rundown house). In addition, they don't make you provide proof of vaccinations. I dropped my dog off at the house. Pete wasn't there when I dropped her off, but his roommate was. This man didn't look like he should be around dogs. These dogs are our children, so if a man can't take care of himself then I'm not sure how I can trust him to take care of my dog. Incredibly unprofessional and off-putting. I knew in my gut something was off, so I returned 10 minutes later...she was alone in a house full of larger dogs she had never met before. There was zero staff inside. I had to call Pete so that he could find someone to return my dog to me. I waited 10 minutes for a "roommate" to emerge from behind the house took my dog and left immediately. This is an INCREDIBLY SHADEY place. It's dirty, disgusting, and probably a front.
They had my 1 1/2 year old Yellow Lab for six days and took excellent care of her. She is a hand full and a very busy girl. They keep her busy, they played with her and took her for daily walks. They even sent me pictures of her playing with other dogs in the program. I think they are great and I can fully recommend Seattle Dog Boarding as a good place to board your dog!
Our dog spent a night at Pete's house during a quick trip to Seattle where our regular boarding options back home weren't going to work out. Pete was very accommodating and our dog had a great time and made buddies with the other dogs. We would use Seattle Dog Boarding again.
My cat was so well taken care of. I could not be more pleased. He was so calm when I picked him up. I could tell he enjoyed his stay. I will definitely go back.
I’ve boarded my cat here a few times over the course of the past 3 years and I have a pleasant experience every time! The staff and very friendly and put a lot of care into what they do. My cat is never stressed after I pick him up. The rates aren’t overpriced and worth every cent. I whole heartedly reccomend <3
This was my first experience with having to board my cat for 2 weeks in over seven years! I was anxious, but the staff were great about reassuring me and my cat wasn't scared at all! We'll be back for all our future boarding needs.
I know that my kitty will be safe and well taken care of when I board here. Purrfect pet boarding was clean, organized, friendly and easy to book. We will be back.
This is our first time boarding our cats and we had a very positive experience. The staff was very friendly and responsive with emails and updates. We greatly appreciate the communication and reassurance that our cats will be safe and comfortable here!
First time for our feline to be boarded after 9 years! Staff was caring, friendly and reassuring. Excellent routine of care, timing, organization. Very clean and sanitary! Could tell all were "cat people". Definitely will use again!
I had to go out of town on business on short notice for 5 days. I boarded my 1 year old Tom here for the duration. The staff were very friendly and happily showed me the place he would be staying. The accommodations were quite nice and very clean. After picking him up he did not exhibit any signs of stress, it only took a few hours for his behavior to return to normal. I am very happy with my experience and will take my cat here during future travels.
Purrfect turns out to be the perfect solution for our shy and somewhat anxious rescued Siberian forest cat. She has stayed there many times, recently for three weeks. After she got back home, she sniffed all around the house a few times, got her bearings quickly, and was soon curled on my lap, purring, as though she had never been away. This never happened when we had a house sitter stay here or at another Seattle rescue when for days after coming home she would cry at night. For us, Purrfect has saved the day. The staff don't expect our cat to be Miss Conviviality, and it could not work out better.
Nice, quick and easy experience if you need to board your cats. Clean facilities. I don't belive they have a cat run. Recommend a kennel if it's your first time. I rented out a room so they had room to explore but they hardly budged from under the cat tree. Would Definitely recommend to family and friends. All the employees were friendly and nice.
I’ll only ever take my cats here! The kennels are always clean and the staff is really friendly. You can ask for pictures whenever you’d like. Overall both times my cats had stayed had been great experiences, for me and the cats!
I was able to get help with dog walking after a surgery when I was totally unprepared for what the recovery would actually be like. Pam was so accommodating to my schedule and helpful.
Pam and Peggy are wonderful! Friendly, very attentive to the details of our pet care routine (and home security), and great communicators: for each visit, live photo updates via text, and a detailed write-up at the end. Highly recommended!
I love in home pet care! They not only love and care for your pets as if they were their own, but they send photos and leave a detailed report of everything my fur babies did while we were away! Pam and her staff are so great, I make sure to always contact them for every trip we take! I was always iffy about kennels and am so glad I found in Home Pet care; I wouldn't leave my fur babies with anyone else! Thank you, Pam and staff, for loving them as if they were yours.
I've worked with Pam and her very happy clients. Your animals are in the best hands!
Brittany is wonderful! She is a great communicator which helps a ton. All of our animals loved her instantly, even the 20 pound kitty. Our pup does the weekly field trips and LOVES them. We know where they are going ahead of time, and always see photos of her in action- happy as can be. Our pup cannot wait for Brittany to come for her weekly field trips. We also have an escape artist kitty, and that hasn't been a problem, which is a huge relief. Sit'N Stay has been a great asset for our (furry) family.
Brittany is extraordinary at what she does. I can't praise her enough and highly recommend her to you. Because of a fall outside my building that took me away from home for 7 weeks, I engaged with Brittany under emergency circumstances. She felt the need to be there for me and my precious kitty and did not hesitate to start seeing him right away. She had great compassion for his emotional needs and provided many strategies to help him stay calm and have fun. Every time she saw him, I received a report card from her along with a photo of my Cheeto. She shopped for everything he needed since I was unable to do that. I had absolutely 0 worries because of her high level of responsible care of my much loved companion. Do not hesitate to contact Brittany for your pet care needs.💜💜💜
Our dogs love Brittany! As a former Vet Tech and true dog-lover, she takes incredible care of both of our pets, minding their individual needs including caring for our old, diabetic guy. Brittany is reliable, professional, available, consistent and trusted. She is super communicative with updates and pictures and we feel very lucky to have found her!
My animals love Brittany & the Lab waits for her at the front window. She has so much compassion, care & love for my furry babies & will “Always” go above & beyond. I completely trust Brittany & “Highly” recommend her services.
Once again, Brittany saved me! Or, my dog actually. Brittany is a good friend of mine, and when I have a dog issue, she gets a crazy and panicked message from me. One of my dogs has had an issue for a few days and I sent Brittany pics and a description. She told me what to do, and what she thought it was. She also told me it was time to get her to the vet. Brittany was spot on. She believed it was a GI irritation and told me Coco needed a probiotic, a specific bland diet, and that the vet would likely prescribe a certain antibiotic. The vet basically said, word for word, everything Brittany said, down to the exact antibiotic. I live in a different state, but if I were near Burien, I wouldn't hesitate to have Brittany care for my dogs. Not only will she love them like her own, she's incredible during an animal emergency and knows just what to do, even long distance :)
Brittany and Barry give full attention to caring for your furry friend while you're away. Updates are sent to you, including pictures, via a secure portal. Highly recommended service.
Brittany is the best! I do not know what I would do without her and I am so thankful our paths have crossed!
We cant say enough great things about these ladies. Our 3 babies love their aunties and their aunties love them back. Here is to more great times and fun in 2020!🥰💞
Bone-a-fide is a godsend for people with high energy dogs. I used to spend a minimum of two hours after my workday making sure my 18 month old pup got enough exercise and mental stimulation. Now, on days when he goes to daycare, we both have peaceful evenings at home. (Pictured: a very sleepy post daycare Cowboy) Additionally, the prices are beyond reasonable, everyone who works there is very kind, and they ALWAYS put the well-being of the dogs first.
Our dog sitter situation fell through, so we opted to bring our dog here for a few days for boarding. They took excellent care of our Pyrenees while we were out of town. Great facilities, good communication, and lots of space for your dog to be social with other pups while you’re away.
My rascal of a terrier ABSOLUTELY LOVES going to daycare at Bone A Fide! He can’t wait to play with the big dogs all day and comes home a very happy and tired pup! Every one of the staff that I have met has been friendly and clearly enjoys working with the dogs. I am confident that in their care he will be safe and well cared for! I can’t recommend Bone A Fide enough! A happy customer for over a year. (Photo post a day at Bone A Fide)
I have never had a dog here but I want to leave a comment for Kristi Ellis, who explained why she didn’t want to ever go back. My name is Lonnie. I had a Doberman who needed a lot of room to run and I couldn’t give it to him. I ended up let this dog I really loved, go. He needed to be a dog so bad. They did not have a place like this when I had Blue. Ma’am your dog really wants to be a dog, not a human. Dogs want to have fun and play. None of us are perfect. Not any business not any human or animal. We all are placed here on earth to figure this place out and do the very best we can. This business is no different. Perhaps they need some suggestions or constructive feedback. Please don’t turn your back on them because of a mistake. This place is trying something that they feel is good for the animals. This is the first of there kind. They are trying and they need support of people like you and me. Look over their ads and what they advertise. For me, it makes me want to go get a job there. It’s not about us, it’s about the animals well-being! That alone speaks volumes. That’s so cool! God bless you and yours. I really hope for your animals sake and for you being the owner and able to provide your four legged friend a fun place to go when he or she cant have you! Please reconsider your decision, that’s what your animal is saying.
I'm sorry but I don't care what kind of business you have when your female driver, driving in a company marked van can be so selfish and rude on the highway. Am I supposed to take your info and call you for service when your driver in the company van brings everyone to an abrupt stop, dangerously, going 65 miles an hour in the toll lane, so she could illegally cut over across the double white line so that she could get off at the 522 interchange towards Woodinville, across all the lanes on southbound 405 so that she didn't have to wait in line like everyone else? Let's not forget about the part where, when everyone was honking at her, she blew everyone kisses and was a completely rude and unprofessional person. (in the COMPANY vehicle.) No thanks. I will forever tell anyone who will listen how unprofessional this company is, and how I would NEVER want my dog being transported this way. Someone who can't even control themselves while completely representing their business name and number doesn't need access to my loved ones or my patronage. I would not recommend this to anyone, especially my loved ones.
We boarded our 2 Dachshunds for the first time with Bone-A-Fide and are so glad, that we found that place whenever we need to board our 2 pups. Staff is very friendly & responded to emails right away to let us know, how the dogs were doing (thanks so much Brittany:)) - we can highly recommend the place!
Our dog loves it here and they are such kind people. Worth the drive from Seattle for a place with more space for the dog to run around when we are out of town
Our 2 year old hound mix has been going to Bone-A-Fide for a couple of months now, and she absolutely loves it! Our dog has more energy than two working parents can possibly burn off with morning and evening runs/walks, so the dog ranch has been a life saver for us. Our girl comes home calm and tired, and ready to relax for the evening. A big bonus is that there is a shuttle service available for certain areas around town, so she gets picked up and dropped off at our house each day. On the days when I go to the ranch to pick her up, she doesn’t even want to leave. I have to drag her out of there, so you know they are having a great time!
I've been taking my puppy here for a little while now, and they are amazing. Four, my pupper, comes home tired everytime he goes to daycare - which is so helpful as he's a very active Australian Shepherd. When I drop him off in the morning, he is always super excited and runs to the office so he can go play. All the employees I have met are nice and know Four. Definitely recommended for people with high enery dogs who love to play with other dogs.
Love this place, we go every week and boarding is great. The only thing I would ask to change is that they have cameras feed for the owners.
