Dog Sitters in South Seattle, WA

Veda is an outstanding pack leader! My two dogs are not always considered “easy”. They have been challenging for other dog walkers from time to time. But Veda is such a great leader for her dog pack that my guys seem to stay out of trouble under her leadership! That makes it easy for me to trust that everyone is safe and happy – and having a GREAT time at the park!! Then, we get to come home to happy well-adjusted kids at the end of the day. Thanks Veda!!

Veda became an important person to my Lola from the moment they met. Even on the laziest of wet days, her arrival is met with no small amount of respectful enthusiasm. I have the highest confidence in Veda to provide a safe, fun and consistent environment for the pack both from our experience over time as well by reputation. Lola’s previous day care gave Veda a stellar recommendation when they could no longer support our location and we have found her to be an absolute pleasure to work with. Veda is always prompt in reply and thorough in message whenever I have reached out to her (whether via phone call, email or text). When nature throws a curve she is ready with a plan (while being flexible to our schedule/ needs). We are happy customers. Rick / Lola

We recently had Veda cat sit our rather needy young mog. She did a great job, and clearly enjoyed her time with the cat. The cat seemed to enjoy it as well (always hard to tell with cats), and wasn't so hyper when we returned (always a good sign). Veda left our place in good shape too, washing the used cat dishes and leaving clean litter boxes. If you need a cat sitter, I would highly recommend Veda. We'll use her again!

Our dog Pepper has been with Veda since she was a puppy and loves her park runs. Pepper recognizes the sound of Veda's car and can't wait to see her and enjoy the day. Veda is also terrific with boarding and Pepper loves to spend extra time with her. Highly recommended!

We have been clients of Veda's for 12 years. She worked through a challenging first year with our rescue boarder collie, putting up with her quirks, for which we will always be grateful. Veda is reliable, trustworthy and a lifesaver!

Veda was great with our Samoyed! The pup always got excited for her adventures with her pack. Great service, nice setup, vehicle, etc. for dogs year round. Highly recommend!

Veda has taken care of 3 of our dogs, both for dog park trips and boarding over the years. The pups love hanging out with Veda, she is a great dog walker!

Veda is a phenomenal dog pack leader. She's incredibly responsive to dog parents and nurturing to her pack and their individual needs. I highly recommend Veda's Dog Day Afternoon!

Both my Jack Russells have been with Veda all their lives. She's terrific with them and doesn't put up with any of their BS. A tired Jack Russell is a good Jack Russell, and they have both been tired and happy. She also boards dogs in her home, and her dog is my dog's best pal. Hers is a great set-up for anyone who needs these services.

Veda is the best. Our dog is now 12, and Veda's been with her, as a walker and a boarder, ever since we got Basil as a puppy. We couldn't be happier!

Our pup has been going here for a year or two now and we are so happy with their service! They have great availability for drop off/pick up times, a fantastic groomer, friendly staff, and a very responsive owner, Jose. Our pup comes home happy and tired but will pull us in the next day for daycare. We use their services several times a week and are always appreciative!

Rave review for exceptional grooming service. Our Kinta has been a daycare member for all of her 12+ years. We arranged for a few baths during that time and were always pleased but…the newly added extra special grooming service is worth noting here. Very special indeed!!

We love Seattle Canine Club! We found them almost a year ago after we had some safety concerns with another dog resort. From day one Seattle Canine Club has demonstrated the safety and cleanliness standards one would hope to see when leaving their fur baby while traveling. Maggie is always so excited to be there and comes home tired. They are also great with communication and have been flexible when we’ve needed to change plans at the last minute. We appreciate the good care they take of Maggie and highly recommend them to anyone looking for doggie daycare or boarding.

My dog broke her foot from a fall at Seattle Canine Club on 10/21/23. Here is the story of what happened. On 10/21/23 my 3 pound pom, Jam, fell from being placed in a second tier crate and was not secured when the crate was open resulting in a broken foot. I received a call from the owner and was told she needed surgery. Surgery was done and I asked the owner if she needed to be kept separate from the other dogs post surgery. He said no and post surgery she was brought back to SCC and he told me she was my other dogs. I picked up all 4 of my dogs when I was back in town on 10/22/23 and saw my dog in the room where all the small dogs are boarded. I had a conversation with the owner about what happened and asked about safety going forward so no further accidents like this would happen again. I was told retraining of the staff would happen. On 10/23/23 I was able to take my dog to her regular vet to review the ER notes from her surgery and to figure out followup care. I was told this break in her foot would take 2-3 months to heal, she needs to be on bed rest and definitely should not be around other dogs until her bones heal. The only thing holding her bones in place is her splint. Being around other dogs especially right after surgery my dog runs the risk of rebreaking her bones. Yet, when I had picked my dog up from SCC on 10/22/23 I saw that she was around other dogs. On 10/29/23 when I went to pick up my other dogs from boarding, my dog, Peanut, wasn't secured in her carrier and ran out to the lobby unbeknownst to staff. Eventually a staff member came out to the lobby and admitted to not knowing she missed a zipper when putting her in her carrier. Luckily Peanut jumped out of her carrier inside the building and ran in the lobby and did not jump out outside on the busy street where she could have ran away, been injured or killed. Peanut is my emotional support animal. On 11/14/23 two of my dogs were set upon a countertop in their carrier, unsecured, after I came in to pick them up. I told the employee this wasn't okay and he said ok but he did not look at me when I said this. When he left the room I told other staff members and they said he shouldn't be allowed near the minis anymore and that this should be his final writeup. I told the owner what happened and he said this is unacceptable and terminated this employee. The owner admitted this wasn't this person's first issue with safety. On 11/15/23 I decided to stop boarding my dogs with Seattle Canine Club and let the owner know via email. I previously was told I would be compensated for Jam's ongoing medical issues. Due to continued issues I had decided to no longer board my dogs with SCC. At first the owner asked me to keep going with my monthly subscription until the difference in the balance of what they owe me for my dog's medical visits and what I owe them in boarding fees is 0. I reiterated in email that I do not wish to go forward boarding my dogs due to the other two incidents that happened. I am concerned how they handle small dogs given that I had 2 other separate safety issues happen in one month, despite being told there was retraining of the staff after my dog broke her foot on 10/21/23. I am now being told by the owner that SCC is no longer willing to pay for all the expenses they previously agreed to pay for now that I am no longer boarding my dogs with them. I am now being offered a lesser amount as a one time payment and no further payments would be offered. This payment is not in full for all of my expenses I have incurred nor will include my future expenses. I have already told the owner I have at least two more vet visits that will cost at least another $800. I am being offered this one time payment alongside a document asking me to agree to not talk to third parties about this document nor about what happened to me and my dogs. But I can't not talk to third parties about the fall my dog sustained as my dog has ongoing vet visits for the next month or two. Due to these reasons I personally would never board my dogs here again.

I will not take Bobbie Redd anywhere else BUT Seattle Canine Club for boarding and grooming needs! The staff treat my pet like...family! I took Bobbie in today to get his nails trimmed. When the wonderful staff saw Bobbie coming, they gathered around him and welcomed him with such love. They remembered him from his boarding there in the summer. It was then that I discovered that they offered another needed service...grooming! Lois is the groomer there, and my goodness! Bobbie is very...sensitive. He does not take well to anyone doing his nails...until now. Lois' skill in caring for and grooming Bobbie is amazing. A staff member who knows (and loves!) Bobbie took him to Lois, and magic was worked. Bobbie's nails needed clipping so badly. Not only did Lois do a great job but it was done quickly! The grooming service that SCC now offers is a Godsend for Bobbie, and me. Thank you Lois, and thank you to the staff of SCC!

Over 11 years of stellar support! It’s more than that though, as our Golden Retriever, Kinta, has been a club regular, loved and cared for during her days at SCC and watched over by a professional caring team who have made her part of the SCC family. She has grown from a cantankerous puppy in the big dog room to a mellow and sweet ‘mini’ queen and Anne and I have never experienced anything but full confidence during the days we could not have her home. From all three of us a heartfelt Thank you SCC.

Our pup Iroh loves going to daycare and boarding at Seattle Canine Club. The staff is warm and always happy to see him and the owner Jose is very professional. I appreciate that he is proactive with issues such as changing/updating how they sanitize in response to this new virus going around.

So this is an add onto my previous review. 1st and foremost canine club is fantastic!! My boy, Pickles loves going there once a week. He gets insanely excited in the car when he realizes where we are going. He greets all the staff with insane excitement is airways super happy when I pick him up. We are going on your 2nd year straight off having pickles go to "playschool" once a week. This past week, I used the clubs grooming service for the 1st time. A huge shout out to Louis, who took care of Pickles. He is not a fan of a groom and thought he was going to play all day. I did book pickles, a groom in the morning, and a playtime in the afternoon. Regardless of the playtime, Pickles likes to sing the song of his people and can be naughty (i.e., spilling his water bowl on purpose!) during grooming sessions. Louis did an amazing job and was also one of the very few people to have worked with Tibetan terriers, aka Tibetan terrorists, that I have met. On the day we got pickles groom, it was super hot, and I believe there was an ac issue, but Louis got thru it professionally. Pickles is so much cooler and comfortable now. Thank you so much for providing that service at your club it is so convenient!! See a photo of my handsome boy! --‐---------- So far we just did a meet and greet with our pup, Pickles. His face, after only 5 minutes meeting the other pups was pure joy! If that's any indication of what his 1st day at daycare will be, I am super excited for him!! I really appreciated that even before a meet and greet we had to provide vaccinations and fecal report. The facility was very clean and staff was very professional and gave us a tour. I'm excited for Pickle's 1st day!

The groomer made sure she understood what we wanted and our doodle came out clean and adorable. They kept my dog in a separate room and she was only there less than 2 hours total. We were nervous as our 3yo never had a professional groom but they were patient with my dog mom nerves and with the dog.

We have been bringing our dogs to Seattle Canine Club for many years—SCC is great with dogs of all ages. The owner and team members are all very clearly dog lovers and we appreciate the fact that SCC retains its employees—it is always nice to see familiar faces who know your dog. Book early, they are deservedly popular!

I'm so glad to have found them. Reliable, clear communication, transparent with prices. When I first reached out, we did a meet and greet and they gathered all the information they needed (and were so sweet with the fur babies!). Started with cat sitting for a weekend - they did everything we talked about and it was so reassuring to know my cat was so well taken care of. Now they come regularly for dog walking each week. They always show up, they text a visit report and photos, and can handle the different temperaments of the two dogs. I trust them and highly recommend them!

We found Duck Duck Moose when our reactive dog got "deferred" from her second doggie daycare--just a few days before we left for a family trip! We were in a pickle and felt like our options were limited. AJ and Anneka responded quickly and helped us come up with a solution! They have been walking our nervous/sweet/occasionally-lungy Coco a couple times a week for the last eight months and have partnered with us to work on her leash reactivity--with impressive progress! They are communicative, professional, and personable. Our fur babies love them and we love working with them. Highly recommend!!

Anneka and AJ are fantastic! They did a phenomenal job watching our dog and two cats while we were on vacation. They sent summaries of every visit, as well as tons of photos. It was clear our animals were in good hands. Their communication is great, and they always replied swiftly to our texts. We highly recommend them, and would love to hire them again in the future!

Anneka and AJ are fantastic! I trust them completely to take wonderful care of my (very sweet, but very needy) cat, who requires a lot of love and attention while I'm away. Their detailed updates provide me so much peace of mind, and their communication is always clear and prompt. I get a summary of every visit with start/end times and cute pictures. So happy to have found a reliable pet sitting company in West Seattle, highly recommend!

My pups love Anneka and A.J! I have two huskies, so getting them tired is a tough job! Anneka is thoughtful and has taken the time to build a strong bond with Winston and Matilda. When they hear come near the front door, they start howling in excitement, they love her so :) And they’re so well behaved when they walk with her!

They loved our cat, and he loved them! They are really great communicators. The Apple Live Photos they would send felt like we were there with him, even though we were across the country. Would definitely recommend them.

AJ and Anneka were phenomenal! They walked our dog while we were away on vacation and humored all of my requests to help ensure I was comfortable with their work. Our little man was spoiled with the quality of their interactions and we had some fantastic pictures to squee over while we were away. Would call them again in a heartbeat!

We’ve loved the sweet & professional care that Anneka has shown our two labs. She has been tremendously flexible in accommodating our variable schedules & sends the best photo updates!

Anneka took great care of our cats while we were out of town! She sent pictures and gave detailed reports at the end of each visit. No issues, no concerns. Our cats are happy!! We will definitely ask Anneka to watch our cats again.

Anneka has been nothing but wonderful. I’ve always appreciate the updates I get about my dog along with the adorable pics! She is trustworthy, reliable, and has awesome communication. I highly recommend her!

Lindsay has watched our cats twice and is a trusted, kind, and reliable pet sitter. Highly recommend! One of our cats is very shy but befriended Lindsay quickly. Do not hesitate to call Wild Pack Pet Care!!

Our little Louie is pretty hesitant to meet new people, but he warmed up to Lindsay almost immediately. We are so grateful that she is so attentive to Louie’s needs and always makes sure that he has a great time while we are gone! Lindsay goes above and beyond with pet care, and I would recommend this business to anyone needing pet care services.

Looks so cute, right?! While true, Grover is also a bit ornery, has developed a taste for fingers, and is quite discriminating when it comes to his circle of trust. So I was surprised and elated that he’d immediately taken so well to the pros at Wild Pack—they definitely have the It Factor when it comes to dealing with special little dogs with special little needs. This is a one in a million success for my dude, and we’re not about to shake that up. Grover will be a member of the Wild Pack for life!

Lindsay is fabulous. I can tell how much she cares for my dog. The photos and videos she shares always has Koko smiling. And, Koko doesn't smile easily when I'm not around because of her separation anxiety. I'm so glad to have found her!

Excellent, highly recommend! We were in a bind because we just moved to the area, had an upcoming trip for a wedding, and our booked sitter canceled last minute. Wild Pack to the rescue! They took the time to come by before the trip to meet and learn all about our two medically complex cats. Then during the trip they gave daily updates and pictures, asked thoughtful questions that anticipated the needs of the cats, and made sure they were both happy and healthy. Very detail oriented and professional. They are our first choice for pet care in Seattle!

This is how awesome Xander’s walks were with Lindsey. She allowed him to get outside and sniff all dirt and flowers he wanted, spending 45 in the sun, and she was such a gentle soul that he didn’t feel any separation anxiety from me. And miracles upon miracles, he came back and crashed hard right after each adventure—which means he got all the stimulation out of their interaction that I could have hoped for. It was also very satisfying and unusual that she was able to start the same evening as I contacted her and came with the same consistency each day so that Xander felt safe going with her.

Wild Pack has been such a great resource to help with my brand new pup (only ten weeks) when I have to be away from him for work etc. He is always so happy when I return and not exploding with energy, which shows he got a lot of attention and exercise/play during his visits! Great communication and truly care about your animals being taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for pet care in Seattle!

Wild Pack has been an absolutely awesome walker and sitter for my dog. Their daycamp experience is a unique highlight - they take my pup on outdoor adventures including long walks along the water. He returns pooped with his tail wagging!

Wild Pack was wonderful with our two-year old Beagle, Lambo. We felt like he was very well taken care of and we received frequent pictures and updates while away. They took him on multiple walks every day and even bathed him so he was fresh and clean upon our return. He was energetic and in good spirits when we got home. Would definitely recommend Wild Pack to anyone needing reliable pet sitting!

Wild Pack is one of the most genuine, caring and compassionate pet service providers in the area. Clearly committed to their soul purpose the love shows in all Wild Pack provides for our fur babies.

Lady Di doggy daycare and boarding is fantastic. Our dog, Pippi is actually pretty shy and was very nervous with our previous doggy day care. Now she runs up the stairs to see her friends! Pippi clearly adores everyone who is at Lady Di. We feel totally comfortable boarding her there too. One less thing to worry about when we have to travel. We have also used Lady Di's for in home pet care for our cat, Sophie. We were totally confident that she would get great care while we were gone and we were right. Sophie was happy to see us but happy, healthy, and friendly when we returned. Thank you to everyone at Lady Di Pet chaperone. I can't recommend them enough!

My labradoodle loves Lady Di Pet Chaperone! Kaia goes several days per week and has boarded. She’s always happy to get dropped off and adores the staff! So glad we found Lady Di’s!

Great place for small dogs. They take care of your pets like they are their own in an open environment. My dogs had a great vacation there! Staff is amazing. Will definitely be bringing my kids back.

It's tough to let someone into your home when you're traveling, so finding someone like Sarah - kind, trustworthy, reliable... and a true animal lover is wonderful. Sarah is simply amazing. We've taken a couple of trips to care for ailing family members and she's provided home visit care for our shy cat, Tucker. Not only does she do the basics - feeding, cleaning the box, giving pets (if he lets her get close enough) - she also reports on anything unusual that she happens to see. Knowing she's here to care for Tucker has helped us focus on family matters without worrying about how our kitty is doing in our absence. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Sarah and her team. My active goldendoodle loved going to daycare sessions ahead of my 12-day trip overseas. I felt totally relaxed leaving her there. It's obvious they take care. I would totally use them again!

We are so grateful to Lady Di Pet Chaperone and staff for taking such wonderful care of our 5 month old puppy. I was forced to find a daycare after getting a not so nice note from a neighbor. I had seen this place close to where I live so I decided to check them out after doing research and reading reviews. After completing the application and sending an e-mail, I was contacted immediately. He has been going there almost two months and he is a very happy dog. He is excited to go and gets home exhausted from playing with his friends all day. Because of his positive interactions and the great care from the staff, he is friendly around people and other dogs. As for me, I am able to go to work without feeling guilty because I know he is in good hands. It is evident that Sarah and her staff really love and care about what they do.

Excellent place to care for dogs while out of town. I am very confident to leave Bowie with Sara and her team ❤️ highly recommended.

Sarah and team are amazing. Our puppy absolutely loves going. They take such great care of him and are so communicative. We are so incredibly thankful to have them in our lives.

Huge thank you to Lady Di for watching our Golden Doodle over the past few years! Everyone at Lady Di is professional with a great attitude, and it definitely was the highlight of the work week for our Pup, who could not wait to get there each morning and was always exhausted when we came to pick her up. Thank you, Lady Di!

Best care ever for our puppy! They make sure our boy is active and enjoying the time socializing with other dogs.

words simply cannot express how grateful i am for kali and her park play service. i moved to seattle recently for a new job where i have to go into the office every day. this means i end up leaving my poor doggo at home alone. i was so worried about this transition for my pup, but kali made it ~so easy~. kali takes my doggo to the park ~every day~ and takes SUCH good care of her. (seriously, look at that smile!) kali also does a great job of letting me know how my pup’s day went at the park (usually with photos). and my doggy is always happy and tired by the time i come home :’). HIGHLY recommend kali to all dog parents!!!

Kali is an absolute blessing!!! Seriously I've never seen my dog happier than when he came home after a day with Kali and the pack. Her services are so unique I was SO excited when I found out what she offered! Seriously! Don't second guess yourself if you're thinking of going with Kali to give your pup the attention they deserve while you're out/busy. (plus her rates are sooo reasonable, absolutely worth every penny) We couldn't be happier <3

Kali's genuine love and care for dogs has been such an amazing experience for us! We adopted our sweet and timid 50lb Shepard Husky mix a year ago and knew we needed to get her socialized. That's when Kali came to the rescue. I honestly can't say enough great things about Kali and her wonderful pet-caring services. Not only did Kali build trust, safety, and a loving relationship with our dog, she helped train Carmy to be more comfortable with car rides! Kali goes above and beyond and we are so grateful (and lucky) to know her! Would wholeheartedly recommend Kali's K9s!

Kali is amazing! She was a life saver when my dog Tater Tot was a puppy. Kali is also a kind, patient person and really takes the time to understand the details about my dog. She would even coordinate with other dog owners that she knew my dog got along with best. I have great peace of mind knowing my dog is always in good hands with Kali. Highly recommend!

Kali is absolutely a gem! My girls (Pomsky and Shepherd both around 40lbs) absolutely love going to parks with Kali. She definitely runs their energy out by the end of their park trip! She is also so communicative. We’ve been thru many dog walkers since moving to Seattle and no one compares to Kali.

We are so happy to have found Kali’s K9 dog care! We got our two Chihuahua pups before the pandemic and they never really had a chance to be socialized with other dogs. Now that we are back to work it’s been a blessing to have found Kali for dog sitting, regular walks and careful socializing. She knows exactly which dogs would be a good match to get them used to other animals. We feel 💯 at ease that they are in good hands. Kali is Wonderful

Kali has been taking care of my dog for several years. She’s my number one choice! My dog loves her, she is reliable, kind and always sends me pictures and updates. She has stayed in our home and boarded our dog with her. She is the nicest person and I highly recommend her for all your pet needs! Sometimes I send my dog to her just for fun, even when we are in town!

Kali has been pet sitting my cat, Daria, since a month after I adopted her. Whenever I need to go out of town Kali is great at sending me little updates on how Daria is doing. I know I don’t need to worry, that Daria is being lovingly cared for. On top of the wonderful care she provides my cat, Kali has been flexible with scheduling, responsive to texts, and easy to work with. While I know Kali will board pets, she’s also willing to come to your home to care for your animals (which is far less stressful for my cat). I would absolutely recommend Kali to care for your fur baby.

Kali is the best dog walker in seattle!! My dog is shy and scared of most people. Kali is so patient and caring for him. She took him one on one first so she can know more about how he reacts on the street. He’s now building trust with Kali which I’m really appreciated!!! She always send me many beautiful pictures while walking him and I’m so glad to see his happy smily face. And after I’m home I can tell my dog is having a great day and tired😌

My wife and I were lucky enough to find Kali in the summer of 2022 when we had just rescued a new dog who was dealing with paralyzing fear and anxiety issues. I will never forget the day Kali met us at the park to do a meet + greet and showed us (and our dog, Mars) a level of kindness and understanding that can be difficult to find in Seattle. We were overwhelmed by the amount of help that Mars needed and were struggling to find someone who was willing to work with her and gain her trust. Kali has been our dog walker and sitter ever since and to say that we are thankful for her is an understatement. She has changed our life (and Mars's life) in ways that are difficult to explain. Kali has become a friend to us and one of the few trusted people in Mars's life. We are happy customers (to say the least) and I cannot recommend her enough!

We really can't say enough good things about the care and love that Sue brings as a pet-sitter for us. When we initially contacted Sue, she came over to meet our sometimes skittish kitties, and they were immediately drawn to her. She had such a kind energy about her, and they were literally eating out of her hand within minutes. Since then, Sue has looked after our cats multiple times, and she always sends adorable pictures and updates to let us know how they're doing, and they always look so happy. It's such incredible peace of mind to know that our cats see a friendly face while we're gone. We couldn't be happier with her services. Pet's truly do love her, as do we.

Sue has been taking care of our two kitties while we’re away for a few years now. Sue is very reliable, communicative, and really cares for your animals. Sue just has a really great presence about her. She has even taken our kitty to the vet once and has administered medication when needed. Thank you Sue for being the best!

My wife and I have trusted Sue to look after three of our beloved cats over the past few years. We can attest to the fact that her business name -- "Pets Love Sue" -- is 100% accurate. Sue has a personality that cats really do adore. She is as gentle, conscientious, warm, and playful a person as you could hope to find. In short, the perfect cat sitter!

Sue has been caring for my sweet Olive kitty for the past 10yrs when I travel! I always feel better knowing my home and fur baby are in loving hands!

Sue looked after our three kitty cats and our home for a number of years while we lived in Seattle. In all my years of pet ownership, I have never had a more attentive, reliable, conscientious, and caring sitter as Sue. She gave us multi times per day updates including photos, inquired about the cats between visits just because she cared about them, and always checked in just before and just after our travels to confirm details and that everything was as expected upon our return. We trust her completely with our pets and our home. Moving away from Seattle and finding new sitters has been a challenge because Sue set the bar extremely high. I would trust her with my pets, as well as my home, anytime and give her the highest possible recommendation.

Sue has been my cat sitter for almost five years now. I learned a long time ago that it’s worth hiring a professional pet sitter rather than relying on friends and family. Sue is very communicative about when she will arrive and sends photos of my cats every day I’m away. I am able to relax on vacation knowing that my cats are in her good care. I chose Sue specifically because she specializes in cats which require a bit of different care from dogs. She also brings in mail and packages and waters plants etc. to keep your place going while you are out of town. Honestly it’s such a game changer to have a cat sitter you can rely on. Sue is great! Highly recommend!

Sue truly loves cats and it shows in every interaction she has with them. She also does an excellent job of keeping you updated on how the cats are doing and if I didn't know better I would say that Fino and Cleo were a little piqued when we returned from vacation...evidently we don't give them enough love ;) I don't think you can go wrong with Susan taking care of your cats, or your home for that matter. If she is on the job, you can rest easy that all will be well when you return.

Sue has looked after our cat and our home several times a year for about four years now. We (and Nola!) couldn’t be happier. Sue not only provides great care and attention, but is also able to give our kitty twice-daily insulin injections - which not all sitters can. We always look forward to her text updates with pics (usually of Nola, but also of package deliveries - which can be very helpful). Sue has also gladly taken care of occasional house-sitting related things while here like house plant watering, taking trash out, and even taking a mis-delivered package to our neighbors. We know we’re in great hands when we leave town.

Highly recommend. Sue is reliable and professional, and our cats adore her!

One-Hundred Percent a "wow" experience. My boy (a kitty) was just getting over being sick, so when I went away for two nights, I wanted someone to check in on him. On the initial visit to discuss my needs, Turkey-Boi immediately took to Sue. After I left, Sue would sends pics AND updates on how he was doing. It allowed me to enjoy my mini-vacation, because I knew Turkey was well and in good hands. Also, I find her rates to be VERY reasonable. With advance discussion, she will also administer meds, including subcutaneous fluids. That's also a wow. Five stars!!!

We have been using Run Spot Run since 2012. We formerly had two dogs (a Bichon and a Mini Aussie) who both loved Susan and her facility. Now we have a Maltipoo, Lily, who loves to go there to play. She has no clue she's in daycare...it's just a play day. Susan has also rescued us on several occasions when we had family medical emergencies and called for her assistance, which she provided without hesitation. Susan has become a friend and we highly value the service she provides to our family. Sometimes we just need a helping hand with Lily, and she is there to offer it. Thank you, Susan!

I can't say enough good things about Susan, the owner of Run Spot Run. We have a miniature dachshund (who also happens to be called Susan!) and she LOVES going over to play with her friends at Susan's place. This is the perfect setup for us because Susan is an amazing caretaker who cares for our pup just like we would, and also because our pup enjoys smaller crowds than typically found at a doggie daycare so she really gets into great play habits and loves coming back again and again. We'll be lifetime customers as long as Susan will have us :)

Susan is the best! She is truly the most loving dog sitter i've met! She truly enjoys everything about dogs! We love that we can always rely on her and feel so comfortable sending our pup to her house. She is always so nice and wonderful with being flexible if we are in a pinch or need to extend the stay! I would highly recommend her!

Susan has welcomed our family dog Lily into her home for many years. I appreciate that Susan determines the temperament of each dog before she accepts them as part of the pack. I never worry that Lily is getting bullied by another dog. Susan goes above and beyond to provide a safe, clean, fun "home away from home," a place Lily loves!

Susan is a phenomenal dog walker and has come to the rescue of my partner and I on numerous occasions. She was so sweet and loyal to our pup that when it was time to put him down she even came to say goodbye. It was a true testament to how she cares about all pets. Our dog was not just another client needing a walk - she truly cared about him like he was her own. Wonderful lady, wonderful business she has.

We love bringing out two pups to Susan every chance we get. Susan is very professional and caring with our dogs. She caters to their every need and has an exceptional setup for our little pups with a great, fenced-in yard and plenty of toys inside and out. Do not hesitate to bring your furry loved ones to Susan!

After searching for the best fit for our dameranian, we chose Run Spot Run. Susan is very personable and knowledgable about each dogs needs, and treats our dog like her own. Service costs are very reasonable. Her dogs are compatible with our dog and they enjoy playing together. We live in a condo, so bringing our dog to Susan's is a real treat, as our dog is able to run freely within a large fenced area. We highly recommend her business.

Run Spot Run's owner Susan is the most kind and caring pet sitter you can possibly imagine! When you leave your pup you KNOW that they will be attended to in such a way that you are completely confident that she is taking care of your "family" with nothing but love and respect. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! My little Phil comes home happy and content.

I love knowing that Susan will be looking after my cat when I am away. She is incredibly reliable and responsive and genuinely cares about your pet. She is a very kind person and always follows the instructions I leave for her. I highly recommend her!

Her website list dogs under 20lbs are accepted, my initial email stated that my dog is 18lbs and she replied that he was too big. Please adjust the information on your website to align with your policies.

They are so kind and loving with my cat when I'm out of town, and with my pup for regular walks. I love that they're a team so they can usually accommodate last minute changes and I don't need to worry about if someone gets sick. Also they send me great pictures and detailed updates.

Drew and his team have been walking our fur-babies since 2023. They are a wonderful group of people who treat the pups as their own. Our 3 dogs have some quirks of their own and different needs - and everyone at Close to Home Pets is super mindful of that! They've even been training them to be less leash reactive ♥️ I would recommend Close to Home Pets to anyone looking for help to take care of their fur-babies.

Close to Home is fantastic and reliable. I've been using them for over two years since moving out to West Seattle, and have been extremely happy with their service. Booking through their portal is easy, they are super communicative and send tons of pictures, and they really give you peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of while away from home.

I am so grateful for Close to Home Pet Services! My Samoyed, Holly, loves her walks with the team. They do such a fabulous job of caring for her and also communicating with me before/after each walk with a detailed walk/poop/pee report and many photos. It makes my day! Thank you CTHPS!! ❤️

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 :)

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!

After moving to Seattle, finding a facility that could accommodate Covy’s energetic ways almost seemed impossible until Lazy Dog Crazy Dog entered the picture. The staff has been incredibly kind and patient in learning Covy’s mannerisms. He has the best time there whether it’s daycare or boarding. Can’t recommend them enough! Covy especially loves his weekly bath time as part of the monthly package (and so do we #doublecoatdoglife)!

I have boarded my dog at Lazy Dog Crazy Dog West Seattle a few times for about 15 nights total. The staff here has been consistently kind, compassionate, and communicative. It always felt as if someone was happy to see my dog when she arrived and that she was well loved while here. Unfortunately, on my dog's most recent stay here, she sustained some out-of-the-ordinary injuries on both her back paws and needed to be picked up early for a vet visit. The three staff members I spoke to about this incident were empathetic, however the situation could not be explained. Because of this most recent stay, my dog will no longer attend boarding here.

I would recommend anybody looking for a dog daycare or boarding facility to consider here. They know all the dog breeds and their peculiarities well, with some staff certified in dog first aid/ cpr, and the place has staff around 24/7. I've been dropping my dog off here for the last few months, and it is amazingly helpful. My german shepherd dog is very energetic, and their play area is spacious enough that he can run around and get the exercise he needs while I'm at work. The staff are amazing here as well. Each seems to know every dog by name, their breed, and their personality. Talking with them every day, I get to learn who my dog is friends with and how his day went. Beyond that, they are willing to be flexible with our pickup/ drop-off times given that work schedules aren't always perfect. Lazy Dog Crazy Dog gets a 5/5 from me because without them, my dog would have a much lower quality of life being at home by himself most of the week.

I left my dog Freddie here and they were absolutely wonderful! the best care he's ever gotten from a place like this. Andrew was amazing with Freddie and will definitely be coming back

I take two of my dogs here 3-5 times a week and they're both pretty young. I love this place. My dogs are well cared for and get that energy out. The staff have been nothing but nice, helpful, personable, and excellent. My pooches are always worn out when they get home and are better behaved. Strong recommend

I started going here because I needed a place whereby Boston terrier could interact with other dogs and get used to being boarded so that we can go on vacation someday. He's been very shy being around other dogs loves people. What I really love is because they have treated him so well and had him in the correct area of dogs He's starting to be more social so it's working. They're great people to work with and it was really easy to book appointments and they're very accommodating for any needs that come up regarding your pet. I highly recommend as a loving and safe place. I just hope they have the prep class for the dogs at the West Seattle site.

Someone has always answered the door for our very early morning drop offs. They accommodate our unpredictable work schedules without making us feel bad or giving us hassle. We can expect phone calls with issues good or bad so I know they pay attention. The workers are friendly and make the interactions pleasant.

We love LCDC. The staff is kind and attentive and always has some nice details to tell us about our girl Mona: which other dog she played with or just how happy she was to get pets and scritches. We appreciate the fun add-ons and enrichments they offer. Special shout out to Denise and the whole team who clearly care so much about the dogs.

Love this place. Its clear that the staff here care deeply about the dogs and they take care of them very well. Denise in particular has always been very kind and helpful to me

I boarded my dog for the first time, and when I picked her up, she acted skittish and had abrasions on her belly and a couple of deep/long scratches on her flank. As I've never boarded before, I don't know if this is something to be expected. The people were very nice and seemed to like caring for the dogs, but due to the scratches and her odd behavior on the first day back home, I wasn't thrilled with the experience. 1/9 update: my one year-old dog has been peeing on the back deck and in the house since she got back from boarding. I am guessing it is because this facility does not have an outdoor area for dogs to do their business. If you are boarding your pup, I recommend that you find a place that does have an outdoor area

Jack was very quick to respond to my email and setup a free consultation. He was able to dogsit/walk our pup the next weekend no problem. Belltown does background checks for every employee and has a host of certifications on their website. Jack was very courteous, professional, and accommodating; he sent frequent texts with pictures and a quick note about his visit. Belltown Dog Walker's pricing and services are clear and fair with no hidden fees - and all charges are emailed in a receipt and available online. It was our first time using a dog walker, and we were very nervous, but Jack and his team did an amazing job and we will continue to use them in the future!

Jack and Taylor have been a life saver helping me keep my 2 cavies happy and active. They have been so flexible and accommodating with my crazy schedule. They are trustworthy, consistent and dependable.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company. We've been with them for approximately seven years now and I can't imagine ever looking for another walker. Jack is well organized, kind, super efficient, and our dog LOVES him. He hires good people. I trust him with our dog and with access to our home (to pick up said dog). I whole-heartedly recommend Belltown Dog Walker!

This company is the best. Jack is well organized and listens to his customers’ needs. Ann walks our girls and she is a “dog whisperer”! They love her and she is always on time, great with communication and knows their quirky differences. Referred to us by friends years ago and we are very satisfied.

6 years ago, Jack welcomed my wife and I along with our 2 Pekes, Mo and Nicco to Seattle and he’s been there ever since. Every one of his walkers have become extended members of our family. We trust them with the health and well- being of our dogs. I am so grateful for Belltown Dog Walker.

We've been clients of Belltown Dog Walker for 4 years now and we've been beyond happy. Jack and his whole team have been so wonderful with our dogs, providing weekly walks and checking in when we're at work. They've also taken care of our cat when we're out of town. I trust Jack and his team 100% and don't want anyone else caring for our pets. And on top of all this, he has been extremely flexible with us with changing schedules and unexpected needs.

Jack and the folks at Belltown Dog Walkers always give amazing service and are so great with my two kitties when I'm on trips where I can't bring them along! When I'm away they send me pictures and my cats love them :) thanks again for everything! Would hugely recommend them! UPDATE: I just wanted to say again randomly at 11pm, Jack is the GOAT especially if you are a new pet owner. He really takes pet care to the next level teaching me how to keep the kitties' water fountain clean and always filtered. I cannot overstate how much he has been a savior for me in not only taking care of them when I'm away but helping me really feeling comfortable with making sure I'm taking care of them the best. Cheers!

Belltown Dog Walker is my go-to for scheduling cat visits whenever im out of town over the last three years. Jack is quick to respond to scheduling requests and at this point the process is very low friction. They drop in, feed, water, and take care of my cat, and send regular updates and images. I highly recommend their service, and will continue to rely on them in the future!

We have been using Jack's pet-sitting services for our cats since we moved to Seattle two years ago! He is very polite, professional and reliable. We have never had an issue and are lucky to leave our cats with a trusted source when we go out of town.

Able to arrange multiple days of hotel pet sitting on short notice so we can enjoy the city and not have to worry about our pups. Saved our vacation! Fast & easy communication.
