Dog Sitters in Parkwood, WA

I would highly recommend this company, Mary is such a kind person & one of the only people I’d feel comfortable leaving my dog with.

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!

Sirius Pet Care is a great, independently-owned dog-walking and boarding company. They also do cat sits at your own home. From what I have seen, they are a lot more personal and loving to their clients' pets than a lot of the other companies tend to be. What's more is they are priced very competitively. If you are looking for someone to take your dog to the park on a regular or semi-regular basis and/or you need boarding for your dog while you are out of town, or you need someone to take care of your cat while you are away, I would SERIOUSLY recommend SIRIUS Pet Care. I mean, the name alone is brilliant... (The Dog Star is called Sirius, right...? Brilliant.)

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.

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.

For years, Aunty Min's has been providing reliable, compassionate, good care for my sweet pup. They go the extra mile, sending photos and updates about the quality of walks and pets. I highly recommend Aunty Min's for whatever per care you nees.

I only review when I am obsessed with a business and Aunty Min’s is one of those for me. Janet has taken beautiful care of our cats over the last year when we have been out of town. She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cares for our Gizmo and Gilly like they’re her own. I can always tell that our cats have been well loved and well fed and well snuggled when I get home from a trip. Having peace of mind during a vacation is priceless to me!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience here!

We knew Kate was the one we wanted to watch our kitties the minute we met her. She was knowledgeable about cats and proved that when she got creative in ways to get our kitties to eat. (cat owners know how finicky they can be especially when their world is interrupted) My kitties are typically very shy but they seemed to take to her quite well. Kate texted us daily updates to let us know how they were doing. That alone made our vacation so much more relaxing because I didn't stress about them being alone. I especially appreciated that she asked us to text her and let her know that we had made it home so she knew my kitties were taken care of. Goodness knows when traveling anything can happen and she had our back. Kate is awesome!

Kate watched our house and two kitties while we were gone for 8 days. We couldn't even tell that we hadn't been here, and the kitties were well loved. She was very professional and thorough. Will absolutely be using her again. Thank you Kate!

I’ve been using them for about a year and have had a great experience! Definitely puts my mind at ease when I’m away from home!

Kate is awesome. I needed her services during 4th of July at very short notice. It was no problem after being admitted to the hospital from ER visit. I would recommend Animals First to anyone.

Dear Animals First, We enjoy being one of your customers for over 10 years. We trust you completely with a key and full access to our home. Our dogs often go with us on travel adventures, but sometimes, because of their busy schedules, they aren't able to accompany us on certain trips, like when we toured Italy for 2 weeks. It is particularly on such occasions that we appreciate your wonderful services the most. We know that in your loving care, our four-legged family members get to sleep in their own home, take daily walks on familiar routes, hear kind words spoken to them, and receive fresh food, water, treats, & gentle petting. At times we've missed the dogs when we're away, and you have responded to our texts and emails with status reports that ease our hearts and minds. We smile on returning home when we read the daily log you keep about each dog describing their moods, how they walked, and how they did their "business." The service you deliver is priceless, and it makes our time away from home and pets thoroughly relaxing. May God bless and prosper your business. We, including and especially our dogs, love you. Kayren and Ron Ohnhaus

Genuine caring for your furry friends. Kate gives individualized attention and gives each pet attention daily. My pets were much more calm (I believe) because they felt taken care of.

Just started working with them and their investment and care to our pet has been very rewarding. If you care about your pet, I recommend Animals first!

Kate is wonderful and kept me updated on my pets while I was traveling for work. I'm glad I found Animals First!

Kate and Charlotte are great to work with, trustworthy and would recommend them to anyone.

Omgosh, these guys are great. Couldn't ask for better care for my pets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rhonda has been wonderful with our sometimes “demanding” cat! She treats him like her own and always answers my text messages when I’m missing him.

Will never take my kitty anywhere else. Rhonda is the best, She takes such good care of our kitty. We've been going to her for 15 yrs. I've never had a complaint.

My cat has been boarded here for several years. Rhonda is excellent with cats ... I never worry. I've chosen Sandbox Ranch Lodge over much closer kennels because of the great care.

There is no place I would trust more to care for my cat. She is 18yo, needs meds morning & evening plus is challenging to feed...and Rhonda is amazing with her!!

Checking in and out was very easy They monitored and adjusted to our cat's mood We supplied the cat food so that he didn't have to adjust Our cat after return is happier than when he was bordered at other locations

Best cat lodge EVER. Great digs and best care from experienced family.

Great personalized care for our pet!

Perfect place to board your kitty!

Good

Excellent

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.

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.

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!

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!

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. 😀 …
