Cat Sitters in Fort Ward, WA

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.

The owners were very caring and answered all our questions about the stay. Our dog loved staying with them and playing with the other dogs instead of kept in a kennel. We will definitely be using them again when needed!

Patricia and Steven have a great place . The dogs are happy and well behaved. They get to run out and play in the large fenced yard or hang out with people in the well kept living room. My dog Molly adjusted so quickly and didn’t even want to come home. I told Patricia she must be a dog whisperer .

I have been using Patricia almost daily now for over 3 months while I am at work. She is AMAZING with my 1 year old puppy, he always has so much energy and is ZONKED by the time he comes home. It was scary at first leaving him for 8 hours a day with another person but Patricia has eased all of my stresses by loving my dog almost as much as me and always being so pleasant to interact with. He has NEVER had any problems and when he was boarded for a few days while I was out of town I got photo updates regularly. She truly does love what she does and loves her animals and I can guarantee she treats all the pups she cares for like her own. He is always so excited to go, and it makes me so happy he can have fun and play while I work full time. I never have to worry that he is not being cared for or that he is unhappy. I cannot recommend Patricia more. Your pups will always be loved and well cared for here.

I have been so happy with my experiences using Patricia and Steven's Doggy Daycare, and most importantly, my doggos have loved the visits too. I was incredibly relieved to find them available last minute during Spring Break after I had a death in the family and had to leave the state unexpectedly and on short notice. I'm definitely not the kind of pet owner who is comfortable leaving their pets with just anyone, but after the initial Meet and Greet, I was much more reassured. Patricia told me she wanted the experience of loved pets coming to stay with them to feel like they were going to "Gwammie's house", and that was 100% the experience she provided. They make sure to take only a select number of dogs so each can get the attention it deserves and will strictly adhere to any diet your kiddo is on. Their home is an environment that is definitely dog-friendly and it really impressed me how well all the dogs, including mine, settled in and got along well with each other. I also really liked that the dogs have access to a doggy-door to go outside to a fenced area to potty when they needed. As an extra bonus, it was even a little less expensive than the pet hotel I would have normally used. When it came time to schedule my vacation, I absolutely wanted to use their services again and was so grateful they were available. When my girls realized where they were going, they were so happy to go back and got super excited in the car. It left me with a feeling that my dogs were comfortable with the previous stay and relaxed with the idea of staying again, which is always so reassuring when you leave your pets as a pet parent. In the future, they will absolutely be my pet-sitting service of choice!

We have been boarding our dogs with Patricia and her son for the last few years. They are so awesome with our pups. We recently just had our pup boarded with them for a week and half. And due to weather conditions we got stuck and couldn't pick our pup up for another few days. They were so accommodating and understanding. We really appreciate how much they care for our pup! Patricia and Steven are fantastic! And our dogs love hanging out at her house and playing!

I could not be happier with Patricia's Doggy Daycare. While visiting our original plans fell through and we were stuck with finding a quick alternative. I called a couple of other places, and they could not even get us a meet and greet until the end of the month. Then I called Patricia and she worked with my short notice needs. At the meet and greet I knew right away that this was a great place to leave my dog for the day. Patricia was very flexible and accommodating as our schedule changed at the last minute. If you are looking for a great place to take your pup, I highly recommend Patricia's Doggy Daycare.

Patricia and Steven have been taking care of my dog regularly for the last 6 months and I personally recommend them to coworkers, friends, and family members. She has a large, wonderful fenced yard that dogs have 24/7 access to via a doggy door--which is great for my high-energy dog that loves to play all-day-long. Patricia and Steven are life-savers for me and my best furry friend! I can't thank them enough for taking such great care of my dog.

We used Patricia’s Doggie Daycare for a week while on a trip to Texas. Patricia arranged several meet and greets to make sure our pups would all get along. There is a big fenced yard for the dogs to run around in as well as a doggie door for easy outdoor access. Patricia and her son Steven took great care of Dougal. She sent regular updates to me to ease my mind since this was the first time we had left our boy with anyone. Patricia is very knowledgeable on just about every aspect of pet care. She is kind and very calm. We will definitely be using her services again! Thanks Patricia and Steven!

Our dog Jasper had an amazing experience w Patricia and her son Steven. It was his first time and they took very good care of him! Patricia kept me updated and was very responsive to texts. You can tell they both really care for dogs and treated Jasper as one of their own. He definitely will be going back!

Patricia seems like a dog whisperer! We were in the area from out of town for a weekend and needed a place for our dog to go while we went to the Kitsap Forest Theater. She was responsive to all communication, reassuring and professional. She and her son took great care of our fur baby, who had a recent bad experience at a different kennel and is now nervous. When I picked my dog up, she seemed content and having a good time. Thankful to have found her!

Fantastic Dog & Cat Sitting has been a wonderful partner in caring for our two cats, when we need to leave the area for a few days, or occasionally for a week or two. Dan is professional, coming to our home to meet us and our cats initially. We had a quick conversation, viewed the space and gave the specifics of their routine. He noted information for their emergency vet contacts, and where all supplies are located. If Dan has been booked when we were seeking a sitting date, he has a great team to reach out to, who've been able to help out in his place. Lynn sat for us recently, and did a great job. We feel lucky to have been able to rest easy, while our cats are being cared for by FDCS. It can be a big upheaval for pets, to have their humans gone for days. And so, to know that they're being cared for kindly by someone familiar, that seems ideal. This service is highly recommended!

I’ve relied on Dan to take care of my cat, Milo, when I travel. He does a great job of feeding and checking up to make sure Milo is taken care of while I’m gone. He even gives Milo his asthma medication using a special cat nebulizer. One thing I especially like about Dan is that the first time I used him, he came over to my house to meet the cat, made sure he knew which vet I used, and asked for emergency contacts. I’m glad I use Fantastic Dog and Cat Sitting Service and enthusiastically recommend him.

We've been working with Fantastic Dog & Cat Sitting for several years and recommend them highly! They're incredibly conscientious and responsive, and we know our three cats will be well cared for when we travel. 5 stars!!

Dan is reliable and consistently available. He has always called if any issues have occurred. We have appreciated his care of our two cats.

Dan, and Jeff, have taken impeccable care of my cat over the past 5 years. I got referred to them through my landlord who had used Dan’s services before. Always professional, very reliable, clear communication, and my cat loves Jeff. As most pet owners feel their fur babies are the most precious and special, it takes a lot of trust to leave their care in someone else’s hands. I’d also get photos and updates during care visits, which made me feel really good. I absolutely trust and recommend wholeheartedly, Dan and his team for the quality of care my pet and I received knowing my fur baby was in the best of hands! Thank you Dan and Jeff!

I have been using Dan’s pet sitting services for years! Dan is really personable, prompt, and professional. His staff care about our pets and we can leave town without worry. Jeff (one of Dan’s employees) has had a key to our home since 2018! Your pets will be loved and cared for. Jeff even picks up our mail and is happy to water our plants. Can’t recommend Dan and his team enough!

Dan has been "fantastic" with taking care of my cats when I have to be out of town. He's taken great care of my older cat who needs insulin shots, successfully dealt with the younger ones who don't really like people they don't know, and has been able to make space for me on short notice when last-minute trips have come up. He's even cleaned up messes that have occurred while I'm gone. Would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a quality and caring cat (or dog) sitter!

Dan does a great job!! We have two cats he has sat multiple times. One requires daily doses of insulin.

This is a wonderful service! When I made my first inquiry, Dan responded within a very short period of time. I was pleased because often responses are delayed for a while. I met both Dan and Jeff ( who would be taking care of my cats) and was impressed by their professionalism as well as compassion for pets. While I was away for 10 days, Jeff kept in touch with all his cat reports. When I came back, my place was tidied up and my cats were relaxed. I highly recommend Dan and Jeff!

Dan is wonderful; I’m so grateful when he cares for my cat! He is reliable, always responds quickly, and is respectful of my home. He clearly loves animals and is gentle and kind with my cat. I don’t worry when I have to be away, because I know that Dan is taking fantastic care of my cat!

Great place to take your fur baby when you’re at work for the day or going on vacation and can’t bring them with you, this way you know they’re never alone and they get to play & make new friends. If your dog is boarding with them the employees will send you daily pupdates via email with pictures to let you know how they are doing and if there’s any complications. Everyone here is very friendly and can tell they really care about the animals and their well being.

Boarding overnight / day care: Dog injured. Nose and paw injured. He came in happy and left in pain. We will have to take him to the vet to do a full check up. After taking him home, he was not himself. He was hiding and still is as I am writing this. His nose is swollen and bleeding. Absolutely No communication about this at all. Might be the reason why they did not send me pictures or videos when requested. A lot of excuses for not sending any pictures to me, which seems like a cover up of the injury. I emailed and asked for pictures and videos after I dropped my dogs off. A hour later I called about pictures. 3 hours after that I called again and after a long while finally got one picture of one of my dogs. Then after almost a life time I got a picture of my other dog. But still no videos. I called again today for pictures, nothing was sent to me. All I got was a bunch of excuses regarding the injury (I understand dogs play rough, but the injury looks so serious), and not being able to send me pictures. I got a text after I got home about a refund for the baths for both of my dogs because my dogs smelled like pee and had stains and dirt all over them after their baths. Will never recommend this place. I question the cleanliness of this place, and everything else. I was told if anything happened they will give me a call. I guess not. Judging by the pee smell and stains after taking a bath, clearly the place is very dirty and doesn’t get cleaned up, my dog could have an infection. And to say my dog was snappy during bath time is just infuriating because my dog loves bath time. Still waiting on the videos and pictures I asked for… hopefully my dog is ok. And hopefully this provides an insight as to how this place runs. I hope no dogs have to experience what my dog had to experience coming here.

While no other place would consider taking our reactive dog for boarding, the AMAZING staff at LDCD were extremely empathetic and sensitive and offered to have Austin over again and again to make him feel more comfortable and safe. They spent so much time with us and were so patient and reassuring. Thank you Jay, Jenny, Reese, Kylie and everyone in staff for truly loving dogs and accepting and supporting our anxious dog. You have helped him open up to people and calm down. Throughout the 3 weeks Austin spent at LDCD, the staff kept us updated many many many times. I appreciate all your hard work and kindness towards dogs and humans as well 🙏

We were super nervous about doggy daycare because of how wild and high-energy our puppy is, but the folks at LDCD have always been so good with her, and patient even though she is jumpy and comes in the door screaming with excitement every time. They play with her and love on her all day long, and she comes home content and exhausted. It's great to know she's well taken care of when we have to board her as well, and being able to take advantage of their newer expanded hours and ability to do late pickup has been a lifesaver. Thank you all for being so good to our girl <3 She loves y'all so much!!

My little Velcro muffin cake trots right into Lazy Dog. She loves it and they know her by name when she comes in the door and let her know which of her pals are there. The team is first rate and I am grateful to have found LDCD!

Great staff and our dog loves it there. My only improvement suggestion would be on speeding up drop off and pick up. If there's a line, the wait can be 10-15 minutes, because each dog takes several minutes.

I can't say enough good things about Lazy Dog Crazy Dog! From the moment I contacted them, the staff was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of every dog that stays there. They kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my dog's stay, which was such a relief. I felt like they treated my dog like one of their own. Most importantly, my dog looked like he was having a good time and made friends (a rare moment for him). If you're looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for your dog, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog is absolutely the best choice!

I board my dog several times a year and I always trust Lazy Dog Crazy Dog - Ballard with her care. All the employees are so friendly and kind, and most important, our dog loves them. She can't wait to see her friends and get inside to play when we drop her off each time. Thank you, Lazy Dog Crazy Dog!

We love lazy dog! Our ball obsessed Sheepadoodle has the best time when she gets to spend the day with the other dogs and humans there. We have been taking here there since she was just a pup 4 years ago. We also use the boarding option whenever we have to leave her behind. We know she is well cared for and having lots of fun.

I am a first time dog owner and I was very apprehensive about bringing in my dog to a boarding facility. My dog is a rescue and very nervous around new people and new environments. Much to my delight, she has THRIVED at LDCD and has so much fun. It has even boosted her confidence. Since I adopted her as an adult dog and she was never kennel trained, I believe the no kennel approach made a big difference in her adjustment. I thought I would feel bad leaving her at a boarding facility but I know how much she loves it!

Kimberly is amazing, and sent me daily pictures of my dog, who looked like he was having a blast! I felt very comfortable leaving Zeus with her, she has very flexible availability. When my flight got canceled last minute she was able to watch my dog for an extended night, which was AMAZING and took a lot of pressure off my shoulders. So thankful for this place!!

My dog, Paisley, is a hard dog to care for because she’s pretty fearful with new friends (people or dogs). Alki Beach did a great job of learning her behaviors, asking important questions to know what to expect, offered to keep her separate from the other dogs, and if I preferred she was crated or not if she was unsupervised. Alki Beach sent picture updates throughout her stay and I love that she has a doggy cam to check in if she leaves. She walked me through her place and it was shockingly clean and sanitized- maybe even more than my own home! I would highly recommend and will be a super-user in the future!

My family and I are moving to a different state and I had to ask her to help because one of my dogs had to go in cargo and she had to pick him up from Seattle. At first it was just going to be a couple hours and then right back to the airport. But when a few things happened, like me dogs second flight being canceled, she stepped up and was able to take him for the entire night and bring him back in time for his flight the next morning. She sent pictures, let us know how he was doing, gave him his anxiety meds, and made us feel like there was a weight lifted off our shoulders. She was kind and compassionate as well as reliable. Thank you Kimberly!

Kimberly is the best!! I feel so fortunate that we met her. She is flexible and accommodating - she will pick up/drop off if needed and has watched my dog an extra day on short notice. She is very responsive and we appreciate all the photos she sends while we’re away! Most importantly, she makes sure our dog is comfortable and happy :) We have booked her several times and will continue to do so without hesitation!

We LOVE Kimberly. Our dog loves spending time with her, feels comfortable there, and gets great care. He gets walks every day, and Kimberly sends us photos throughout the day. We always feel at ease when our dog is at Alki Beach Animal Retreat. We have a high energy dog and she takes extra care to make sure to watch him carefully and make sure his needs are met. ♥️

My heeler pup who needs quite a bit of engagement and attention came back happy, healthy and even with some better behaviors after a week boarding with Kimberly. She sent daily pictures of him playing and spending time with him and was very attentive to any of my texts and concerns and made me feel very confident I had left him in good hands. Cannot recommend her enough.

Kimberly was wonderful and so caring for our puppy whose flight was delayed for two additional days due to weather. She kept in touch with me via text and sent pictures. Her home appeared very organized and clean. She snuggled with our pup who was probably so scared being away from his mama and siblings.

Kimberly watched our bunny while we were out of town for 4 days. She has exceptional work ethic, came to our home twice a day to care for our bun. She sent pictures daily of the treats and care Bun Bun was getting. She even changed the water and left treats out for our cat, which she wasn't asked to do. If you are looking for boarding or small animal care while away, Alki Beach Retreat and Transportation is the BEST!!!! We will definitely be using Kimberly in the future.

I've boarded my 1.5 year old boxer pup with Kimberly a few times before, and he's always had a ton of fun and gets to play with the other dogs! He is well taken care of and gets plenty of exercise and care! Will definitely use this service again!

Kimberly did a great job taking care of our dog on very short notice! She kept us regularly updated with pictures and we had complete peace of mind while we were gone.

We just picked up our two pups after leaving them for their very first ever boarding experience. We were a bit concerned about how they would do, but Connie obviously takes great care of her furry visitors. Her place is always very clean and all her guests appear to be happy. Pricing is competitive with other boarders in this area.

Our little girl was so wonderfully cared for while we were away. Highly recommend Blue Collar South.

We have boarded our dog Leo with Connie since he was a puppy (four years now) and the experience has always been outstanding. Connie has been thoughtful about where she places Leo within her kennels and often places Leo next to other small dogs. Connie is easy to get ahold of and communicate with and has been a reliable and no nonsense border. She keeps her kennels clean and organized and truly loves the animals that she boards. Leo is always in a good mood when we come to pick him up. Connie is highly recommended!

I have shopped for boarding before and never thought I'd be able to find something affordable. Connie's rates are very competitive with surrounding boarding in this area. She keeps the dogs on a schedule, they're safe, warm and fed and my dog always comes back to me happy and healthy. I really like how each dog has their own inside kennel with a dog door to their own outside kennel. As a person, Connie is absolutely delightful and fun to chat with. She is very flexible about pick up and drop off times, which I find to be a huge advantage.I have hired this business 4 times now and I will definitely keep coming back. I highly reccomend this business.

I would not recommend this place. Had heard good things from reviews. However after having our dog there for 1 nite and half a day she called for us to pick up our senior pug. She was told upon drop off that he had never been in a kennel before. He is also deaf and has anxiety. Upon pick up at her chosen time per our conversation. She never got up from her backyard. We asked about pick up and she said go help yourself. To us this was horrible customer service. No explanation or I am sorry it did not work out or even a refund. Hope this sheds some light.

We've been using Blue Collar Kennels for several years. Connie, the owner is fantastic. The runs are always clean, the dogs have clean bedding and you can tell that she loves her work.

We love Connie and the excellent services she provides with love and compassion... It doesn't get any better. Our companion has the freedom to be inside or outside at will. Love, love, love this lady! So happy we found you.

I've been bringing dogs to Connie for over 15 years. Her prices are the lowest in town. my dog is always happy to come see her and always sad to leave.

The service is excellent, very good compassionate care for our 6lb poodle!

Connie is great with our dogs.

I can't say enough nice things about my experience with Metro Dog. My beloved doggo is dog reactive and can't be boarded, and my neighbor who used to watch her moved away. I was nervous to engage a drop in service for walks and feeding her on the rare times I'm away from her. I've had such nice experiences with Metro Dog, I can't believe I was so nervous. The Metro Dog staff has always gone above and beyond my expectations. They give updates, take great care of my dog, and they even wash her bowl and the containers from her food? They do more than I would even expect for drop in care, it's excellent value for a reasonable price. And needless to say I come home to a happy dog!

Wonderful caring folks who know how to make your puppy happy in your absence. They are highly trained, friendly and professional. They have reasonable rules for all dogs to have their vaccinations. The facility is clean and designed to keep your pup occupied. This is one of the best facilities I have come across and our dog Daisy loved her time here.

So I have not been to Metro Dog exactly but I did sit in on the Metro Dog staff's "Walks & Wags Pet First Aid" class and it was excellent. It was held out at Fleet Reserve Association Branch 310 in Silverdale, WA, was a ten hour course and really was completely worth it. It's a lot of information but I really thought that everyone did a really good job of keeping us attention deficit folks on track. I would definitely recommend to all who can make the trip!

I recently started using Metro Dog’s day care with my pup, it’s been a great experience so far. They have been great since trial day, and consistently through day care. My pup’s super excited at drop off and happy (and exhausted!) at pick up. I will consider Metro Dog for boarding services, too!

So if anyone has gone on vacation with a dog, you know that you are limited on what you can do. We decided that during our 19 day vacation we would have one day where the dog was in daycare so that we can visit places where a dog is not allowed. I have a 2.6lb 5 year old yorkie. (This is important.) I started 6 months ago trying to find a place for her for one day. It took me four (yes, four) different daycare that turned me down. Two would not take a dog of her size because she would be trampled, one said that they do not take out of state dogs, and the last stated that they are full. Thankfully the lady at this last one recommended Metro Dog. I am so glad she did. They were so nice and very sweet to her. They accommodated her and honestly evaluated how she is with her staff and other dogs. I would recommend them to anyone.

We've recently started daycare for our dog at Metro Dog and couldn't be happier with the location, team, and care. Our dog is excited each day at drop off and the team is super welcoming. Highly recommend!

I cannot begin to start how happy I am with Metro dog I was a new dog owner in April and very nervous about daycare. They were very reassuring, and with each day Harley spent at Metro dog her confidence began to increase. At first she was nervous too but now she is wagging her tail, and eager to go in every time we drop her off. She has boarded twice now and every time she comes home, she is clean happy and exhausted. Which is fantastic because we know she is having a great time playing with all her dog friends. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Metro Dog is a good facility with helpful staff. For our first day of dog daycare, they went through all the details and showed us the facility via cameras. They also took our dog’s food to feed him during the day and took care of play and rest time. We will surely take our pup for daycare/boarding here.

If I could leave negative stars I would. We left our dog with Metro Dog for 32 hours and we managed to have to take him to the vet for two separate issues the next day. 1) Our dog had a hot spot we were trying to have him avoid licking. We instructed staff to keep an eye out and if they were not able to stop him from licking to at least let us know if he was doing it. Staff did not notify us upon picking him up, nor stop him from licking, as we had to take him into the vet as the hot spot got infected. 2) Our dog also returned to our care with a limp. Upon examination it appeared that the skin on his paw pads was raw and torn up. The day we left him was extremely hot and I imagine the staff did not attempt to protect the dogs’ paw pads letting them run around. This is conjecture but, when we picked him up, we were not notified that anything was wrong, so we have to guess. The limping was clear as day. We tried to call them the next day to find out what happened, no answer. This is simply negligent. I truly hope this business gets investigated by the appropriate regulatory bodies to get them to clean their act up or to shut them down. Suffice it to say, please never leave your animal with these people. It’s not worth the risk.

My family and I were in desperate need of finding a boarding place for our dog. Metro Dog responded back after I wrote an inquiry to them and we set up a trial day. The staff have been great and our dog loves it so much that we keep bringing her back for daycare. Our dog comes back tired. At pick-up, the staff informs us that she had a great day playing with the other dogs. Will definitely keep bringing our dog to Metro Dog Daycare and utilize their boarding. Staff is superb and seems to be well-trained to deal with all types of dogs.

We can’t say enough great things about the grooming salon. All of the girls are so sweet. Moto gets groomed by Sterling. He has a little anxiety going but she’s so patient with him. He loves going now! She listens to what I’d like to have done and offers suggestions. She works her magic every time! He’s a therapy dog at a nursing home and everyone loves all of his fun grooms. We recommend her to everyone we know!!

Camp Bow Wow-Silverdale does an awesome job. Manager Mel is awesome and so is the staff! They know our dog by her name (Savannah). Our dog loves staying there for day visits or over night visits. Totally recommend them.

Sirius LOVES his pack at Camp Bow Wow! The staff are so kind and wonderful with him for both daycare and boarding, the grooming services are fantastic, and pricing is very reasonable. As an anxious dog mom, I deeply appreciate the staff's communication and the care they take to ensure all doggos are a good fit for camp and the camera feed so I can check in every once in a while. Sirius has been going to camp since he was a little puppy in the small dog yard, and whenever we ask him if he wants to go to camp, the lab zoomie energy is off the charts. He comes home exhausted but happy, the best puppy combo! Thank you Camp Bow Wow!

We enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the staff at Camp Bow Wow and how accommodating they are to our dogs and their needs. Our dogs enjoy their stays at Camp, whether it is daycare or boarding and over the past two years, we haven't experienced an issue with any of their stays with other dogs or staff. Their team takes the time and needs of each camper into consideration when they "enroll" them at camp, ensuring everyone will have safe and pleasant stays. We appreciate all that you do!

The staff is friendly and helpful! It’s obvious they love working with dogs! They take great care of our dogs special needs! Our dogs are always excited to go to camp!

My dogs enjoyed their day and night at camp. There were happy wagging tails whenever I checked the cameras in the play area. It is so nice to have a safe, clean, well run facility to leave my girls. Last minute Reservations were easy to make. The front dest was helpful and friendly.

We use camp bow wow for both day care and boarding. She is always happy to be there, and we like that she gets lots of supervised socialization. It is nice to be able to watch her on their webcam. Staff is great and you can tell they are very fond of the dogs they care for.

This was oasis first professional groom (before and after pics). She smells so good and looks so cute! She is a 60lb golden doodle and it cost $135 for all the fixings. It was so worth the price! I will definitely be coming back. The ladies that work there are so sweet! They said she did so good for her first time even when it came down to grinding her crusty toenails lol!

I love the setup of this doggie daycare. It’s a safe place where my dog Charlie to meet and play with other nice dogs 😊 …

The front desk employee did a good job multi tasking, helpful. The staff as a whole is wonderful. I'll be boarding my pup pretty soon and I feel good about leaving him there. 😀 …

Holly and her team are just the best — we don’t know what we would do without Rocket Dog. We are huge worriers about our high energy dog and in the years we’ve been taking him to RD (for both daycare and boarding) we’ve never had anything less than an amazing experience. It’s become like a second home to him and he gets sooo excited when we tell him it’s time to go to “daycare!” We’re so grateful for this team of knowledgeable, caring, professional dog lovers!!

Love having a spot like this in the city with so much space for the pups to play. The vibe definitely is more like a “homestay” than most other spots which is great for my boys who dont do well in crated and cooped up!

I have been taking my dogs here for years and have always had a great experience. I trust Holly and her staff with my dogs 100%, I can go on vacation and not worry once because I know they’re well taken care of by a responsible caring business. I’ve sent multiple clients and friend to rocket dog, probably about 15 people, all of them have had really good experiences. 10/10 recommend rocket dog.

We LOVED Rocket Dog and trusted them 100% with our lab Quinn. Sadly we moved away from Seattle, but they were so good to her and she was always so excited for daycare. She has epilepsy and they took such great care of her so we didn’t have to worry when boarding her. I wouldn’t take her anywhere else in Seattle.

Excellent place to take your dog for daycare. We bring ours one a week just to get a long day of playtime and tire him out. He is so excited when we pull up to Rocket Dog, it's his favorite place! The employees are very knowledgeable and attentive to the dogs. Very clean and organized as well. Highly recommended!

We take our dog here for both daycare and overnight boarding and he loves it!

I love that rocket dog is off-leash and outdoor-based! They take trips to dog parks, daily. After 3 months with rocket dog, and I suddenly noticed that my shy little dog was running around with the pack and he knew how to swim. Amazing!!

Sweetie loves her play time at Rocket Dog care!!! Best doggie daycare around!!!!

Great team that recognizes us and more importantly our dog. We never worry knowing our puppy is safe and having fun during the day at Rocket Dog.

Cosmos favorite place in the whole world. I've never seen him be such a rude puppy trying to claw his way through the door to get in!

My corgi, Sammy, was a regular in Brea's group dog walks for the past two years and LOVED it. She was always eager to go and always came back tired but in excellent spirits! Brea was communicative, flexible, and professional. If we hadn't moved away from Seattle, we would've continued with the pack walks indefinitely, as they were such a good source of socialization and exercise. I highly recommend you use Cosmic for your dog walking needs!

We have been clients of Cosmic Home & Pet since 2012. Almost 12 years now! We have used all of Brea's services -- including dog training, pack walks, and cat-sitting. Her expertise with our high-energy, reactivity prone Aussie has saved our sanity and shaped him into such a rad dog. Her calm demeanor and training experience has been indispensable especially when our dog hit adolescence and WOW was he a handful. Her initial training package got us started strong and the "walk-and-train" packages have helped us tackle the specific challenges we face on walks in our own neighborhood. We live in Madrona, which is a neighborhood full of many dogs and distractions (rabbits and squirrels) that are super challenging for a high drive young pup to learn solid leash skills around. Most online training programs and books about dog training focus on suburban environments. They are too general and rely on dealing with reactivity with the use of backyards or outdoor spaces free of triggers. This is just not helpful to our yard-less, urban situation. It's been pivotal to have a local, experienced trainer like Brea come to our home and walk with us in our own neighborhood to help us tackle the specific situations we encounter. Our dog now goes on pack walks 2x a week with Brea. She picks him up at our home in Madrona. He greets her by having a minor meltdown of joy-- his joy-meltdowns are more contained now and include manners thanks to Brea. He now has doggie friends he loves and the pack walks give him structured social time and added confidence. Brea has also been a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter for us since 2012. She babied our elderly cat and gave her all her medications when we were away. When Maddie passed away in 2017, Brea sent me sweet photos of her that were saved on her phone from the time she had spent with Maddie over the years. I was so touched by those photos. We always know that our two current kitties are in safe hands whenever we are away. Our timid cat allows Brea to pet her and interact with her, which really says a lot. It's a privilege to be one of Cosmic Home & Pet's clients-- especially for this long. It's such a relief to trust someone this much with your precious pets. We can't thank Brea enough for all she has done for us over the years. Many of her clients are long-term like we are and it's obvious to us why this is. We also love that Cosmic Home & Pet is a woman-owned and operated small business in Seattle that we can support. We emphatically recommend all of Brea's services.

Cosmic Home & Pet is incredible! Brea has extensive knowledge of dog behavior, and a gift for understanding your dog. Our puppy was very excitable, and throughout our training Brea was so patient and gentle with her. How she calmly worked through sessions of our pup maniacally/excitedly barking for attention still amazes me. She taught us how to communicate effectively with our dog, how to train positively and responsibly, and really connect with our furry family member. We are first-time dog owners, and definitely hit the "oh my gosh, what have we done?" wall with our puppy a few weeks after she came home. Brea was so kind and non-judgmental when we expressed regret and were unsure about how to move forward. She made space for our emotions, reassured us that our feelings were very common and normal, and helped us work through that challenging phase. Brea has not only helped us with training, but also takes our dog on group walks, and house/pet sits our dog (and cat) when we are away. She goes above and beyond, and we feel so confident leaving our home and pets in her care. Her partnership with us is invaluable, and we highly recommend her to anyone!

Cosmic H&P has been working with our two pups for 4 years now and we couldn't be happier with them. We know our dogs are safe and happy when they're out with Brea. They come home happy and ready for a nap! We've recommended them to friends and strangers, confident they'll treat all pets with wonderful care and attention. They truly treat all of the animals in their care like family, and the photos you get from them are an incredible bonus!

Comic Home & Pet are wonderful! Brea takes fabulous care of my 2 Great Danes as well as my 2 cats! She provides daily walks for the pups, and playtime, cuddles and grooming to the kitties when I am traveling. She has stayed at my home on numerous occasions and has taken wonderful care of my home and my fur family. I can't say enough great things about her, and she is definitely at the top of my VERY short list of people I would trust to care for my dogs. Highly, highly recommend Comic Home & Pet!

Brea has been walking my Frenchie once a week for a little over a month. She takes such good care of my puppy, and they have so much fun together — I swear my dog KNOWS when it’s a walk with Brea day and is so excited to see her each time. Will continue using this service and hopefully ramp up more in the future as Seattle starts opening up again! Also, side note; I have been very impressed with all the steps she has taken to maintain social distancing and safety protocols during this pandemic. Thank you!

Brea has been walking our two fussy and opinionated chihuahua mixes for three years now, and we are so grateful! They were rescues who were not well socialized nor used to walking on a leash, and they have made huge strides with her. She also takes amazing pics almost every day, and we're delighted to see our pups out with the little dog crew. We have hired her for overnight dog and cat sitting several times, and she is very communicative. We trusted her with giving meds to our elderly cat and she was great with that too. Hire Cosmic Home & Pet!

Brea has been taking care of our cat for about 3 years now. He's very picky about everything, especially food and people. Whenever we go on vacation, he would normally lose weight and seem to be sad (on cam). But now, he's maintained his weight and is pretty chipper when we get back! I also enjoy the collages she sends to keep us posted about how he's doing. With the whole covid thing, we're unable to go on vacation and have had to cancel our cat sitting services, so please support this awesome small business!

I've been using Cosmic Home & Pet since getting our puppy last November and I couldn't be happier with their services. They are reasonably priced, super accommodating and easy to work with. I never have to wonder how Bean (my puppy) does during her walks, because Brea and the team always send me updates and adorable pictures. Most importantly, my dog LOVES Brea and her other walkers. I've been home on a number of days when they've come to pick up Bean for her walks and see how crazy excited she gets when she sees them. I highly recommend Cosmic Hope and Pet to anyone looking for a dog walker they can trust!

Brea is amazing. Not only did she take great care of my two doggies (who are very attached to their mama) but she sent us little updates during our time away (cute videos, pictures, etc). You can tell she really loves animals and wants your pets to be happy while they're away. Most recently we had Brea stay in our home as it makes our pups happier (they can tend to be a little high maintenance) and we had no issues, no concerns at all. We are so happy we've found Brea (and so are my girls!).

Katia shares her love for cats with me. My cat( Inky) is always happy to see her and be rewarded with a nice neck scratch.

Katia, I was in a bind. Thank you for your willingness to take care of my cats at the last minute. Knowing that I could go on vacation and my fur girls would be taken care of was a relief. Thank you again for your assistance. My fur girls and I appreciate you.

Katia has been walking my Corgis 5 times a week for the past 2 1/2 years and I highly recommend her. No worries when Katia is in charge! She enjoys her time with them and they love her! She has become a great friend to me and my fur babies.

Katia is amazing with animals and puts extra care into her work. You won't be disappointed in her services!

Katia was amazing with my 16yo pomeranian and 5yo Maltese while I was in Maui for 11 days. I Recommend her highly to care for your fur babies!

Katia has been a godsend not just for my dog but for my whole family! Knowing I have someone I can trust to take Skywalker out and about while I'm busy takes a load off mind. She sends me pictures and videos on their walks. Katia also petsat for my dog and 2 cats and it was wonderful having her take care of my critters. I'm a pet groomer and have worked in the pet industry for 20 years. Katia is one of the good ones and I'm so glad to have her as my dog walker, pet sitter and friend!

I was so fortunate to find Katia. My havapoo Coco just loves her, and goes wild when Katia arrives to take her walking. I recently boarded Coco with Katia: in a comfortable home where she can use the dog door to play in the fenced yard, AND she sleeps with Katia (same as with me). What a change from regular boarding.

Katia did a wonderful job walking our two dogs while we were away. Appreciated doggy meet and greet before engaging her services. Easy and fast communication. Daily updates offered piece of mind to us for elderly dog. Highly recommend!

Very small-dog friendly! My dog is a small chihuahua and normally we put him in bigger dog daycare and he did not respond well at all. He would come home really terrified and exhausted. This time we put him with Katia and he came back quite normal like nothing happened! Another thing I like about Katia is that she sends pictures of my dog to keep us posted. This is much better than the dog daycares we’ve been to which claims that they had online stream of dog videos but actually not.

I stumbled across Katia's business after searching frantically for a place to keep my 2 cats while I was away for vacation. I contacted her last last minute and she was very flexible with her times and I can tell she put my pet's wellbeing as her top priority. I have been with her for a couple months and I am very pleased with her work. I will definitely continue to leave my pets in her care :)
