Pet Sitting in Whatcom County

Kim is amazing! She absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She is super flexible and always willing to work around our schedules as much as possible. She goes out of her way to make for the best experience possible for her clients and their animals. Our dog has been going to Kim’s for about 7 months and loves it every time. She feels right at home in Kim’s house and is well cared for and loved. We can’t recommend Kim enough!

Kim is a trustworthy person. She loves taking care of dogs and when our family go on a vacation trip we all know that our pet Rico is in good hands with her. We highly recommend Kim!

Kim is amazing, she has gone above and beyond for us in caring for our two dogs. Our youngest had a UTI and bladder stones while we were away. Kim drove her to the vet and took care of her for us. She also sends updates, videos and pictures of our dogs.

I was fortunate to find Kim at Pet Pleasers in early 2020. I have a little Boston Terrier named Ariel that is always with me. When I had to leave for a location that I could not bring her, I considered cancelling my trip. Since Kim had gone to my school years ago and I knew who she was, I contacted her and had a few discussions over FB and eventually went to her house to check it out. She has such a dog friendly home. A safe fenced back yard, double gated front entrance and she treats the dogs just like her own. I was very impressed that she also wanted to have Ariel spend a few hours at her house to make sure she got along with everyone and that she wouldn’t pose problems for other dogs. That’s so important to me that she doesn’t simply accept any dog. She makes sure that she reduces the chance of problems that can occur due to animals that may be too aggressive or cause problems for other animals. She truly does everything she can to provide a safe and fun environment for every animal she cares for. I left Ariel for a few hours to see how she did and she did great, playing with other dogs and running around freely. After that I left her for a week and was pleasantly surprised to get the occasional picture and video from Kim showing me how Ariel was doing. Although I bring Ariel’s crate along, Ariel has free roam of the house and yard all day long and most of the time she jumps on Kim’s bed at night and sleeps on the bed…just as she does at home. I can’t say enough good things about Kim and Pet Pleasers. I no longer have to worry about Ariel being constantly locked in a cage, or deal with the scams that so many other kennels have where they want to charge you $5 for a daily hug, or $10 for 5 minutes of one-on-one time, etc. Kim is open and honest and provides a friendly, loving home-like environment for the dogs she cares for. Her pricing is very reasonable with no extra charges for paying attention to your dog. She clearly loves animals and you can be sure she will treat your dogs like her own. I will never go anywhere else and I’m so glad to have found Kim at Pet Pleasers. I may miss my dog when I have to go away but I know she’s in good hands and don’t have to worry about her. You can’t go wrong with Kim of Pet Pleasers and I believe that once you try her, you will never go anywhere else either.

Kim is amazing with our dog! We always love having Kim watch our Daisy because we know she will be able to run and play and not be stuck in a kennel all day. Communication is great and Kim is very easy to work with. Thanks Kim!

Our senior bichon, Louie gets stressed at traditional boarding kennels. Kim from Pet Pleasers treated him like part of the family. It is a relief to have someone so great with dogs taking care of him in a home setting. Will continue to book here and recommend!

Pet Pleasers is truly like sleepover camp for our doggo! Kim’s care and consideration for the animals in her care is evident from the happy barks that greet you upon arrival. There is plenty of safe space for them to roam and play, and when it’s time for rest, they have their choice of several warm and comfortable beds. We’ve never boarded our dog before we met Kim, and it’s a relief to find someone who loves him as much as we do. Pet Pleasers for the win!

Kim has been great with my great dane Jaxi! She can be a nervous Nellie and Kim understand her needs and always makes sure she is comfortable. I have left her there for longer vacations and overnight stays. Jaxi is always glad to see me come back but Kim always sends me pictures and messages while I’m gone letting me know Jaxi is having a great time. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else!!

Don't like leaving our Pomeranian, Bija with anyone, but he's treated like family at Kim's place. Just like at home he's able to sleep on the bed and watch TV. By request she will send pictures and a report of how he's doing. We have total confidence that Bija gets the attention he deserves.

I am not comfortable leaving my husky just anywhere or with anyone! Kim is the only person I have ever left her with when I leave town that I feel good about. Taken care of, safe, not in a kennel or crate with small bits of "play" time. Its a healthy environment that i have no concerns for dog illness such as parvo or kennel cough. I drive 45 min to leave my girl with Kim.

We have been taking our dogs to Deb for a while now and they love it! One of our dogs has severe separation anxiety, so having somewhere with caring staff that caters to small dogs allows us to take some time for ourselves without feeling guilty about neglecting our doggies! If you have a dog that’s under 25 pounds, definitely look into daycare and boarding at 3 Schips!!

Love love love! Our dog Pax LOVES going to play with friends. Deb and staff are truly wonderful with the pups. We’re so grateful for these folks. We do day care once a week and also board when we’re out of town. What a life-savor. Again, SO grateful!

Such a special spot! Our small (pandemic) pup was apprehensive about other dogs and people but we wanted an option for her to socialize. Deb and her lovely staff worked with us to ease her in to daycare, and it’s been a game-changer. She now LOVES her 3 Schips days: goes in tail wagging, comes home happy and pooped from all the fun. Sweet staff, details on behavior/activity provided each visit, and excellent communication.

Need a great place for your small dog to play and have fun? Then this is the place for your pupper. Deb and her amazing staff always provide wonderful service and support. They monitor the animals closely and provide daily report cards for fur baby mommas and poppas. Deb usually requires a day's notice prior to drop off. If you don't call prior, then don't be surprised if you have to be turned away. She will work with you for special circumstances, but the responsible thing to do is to communicate with Deb so she has a heads up. I think I can speak for most of us when I say that I appreciate Deb's desire to ensure proper staffing and pup limits. She does this by asking us to call at least a day prior to you doing off your pup. Cash is king here, so payment options are limited.

We have been bringing our Yorkiepoo here for about 31/2 years. He absolutely loves coming here. The owner Deb and her staff are true dog whisperers and they love our dogs and their job. They only take small dogs up to 25 lbs , but it's a great place to take your dog. They come home happy and very tired!

Cooper loves day are at 3 Schips and a Girl. This little doggie daycare is wonderful. The little furry kids have a beautiful, inside and out, facility to play in. Cozy chairs to cuddle with each other, and benches outside to chill on in between zomies in the play yard. I highly recommend 3 Schips and a Girl!

This is a great place to board your small dog. Very caring and professional. We boarded our small cocker for 5 days without any problem. Would highly recommend Deb and her staff.

The best dog daycare, tailored to small dogs. Deb Bruner and her staff are very attentive to the dogs and understand dog behavior. Adorable decor, and very clean

My pup loves it as much as they love him!

Best doggy daycare ever

Had the pups nails done, quick and good enough considering the pup is not cooperative. The place is a bit stinky but I guess it would be hard not to be 🤷🏻‍♀️ I haven’t been to many groomers. I’ll be back! …

I just picked up my two Springer Spaniels and I am really happy with what a great job Pooch Palace did! I usually groom them myself and I can be a bit nit picky. There are no shaver lines and their paws were trimmed up really nicely. I am starting a new career and will definitely bring them back to save myself the hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This place is a gem. I love the homey feel our dogs have. Our big shepherd likes to hang out with the Littles. The staff is friendly and amazing with our dogs.

You can really trust this place. Heather and her staff are definitely pet lovers! As well as insuring that your fur baby is safe and happy they can deal with other issues like medical care, anxiety, old age. I know my pets are in good hands always.

Took our shaggy Boi in for his annual cut and couldn't be happier. They did exactly what we wanted, and his paw-de-cure makes him stealth again. Thanks a bunch

This place has been a godsend, Heather is so kind, patient, and passionate about animals, you could just tell by meeting her. I'm usually a bit skeptical when it comes to someone else caring for my dogs but I'm not worried when it comes to bringing my dogs to the Pooch Palace! They have a great time and we're happy they have a fun, safe environment. 10/10 would recommend and it's been my 3rd time using the dog boarding service and definitely not the last. Thank you again, Heather and team!

Specifically asked you not to touch our dog's tail hair. Especially the amazingly cool white tip. You indeed did not touch any of the other tail hair with the exception of chopping off the amazingly cool white tip after we asked you not to. I was able to overlook the bowl cut you gave him but you just had to cut off that tail hair didn't you. We will never be back. Pooch Palace, I think not more like pooch poor house.

Left our black lab and German shepherd pups here for 9 days. They came back washed, groomed, and toenails clipped. Wasn't even expecting that! Plus the prices are unbeatable. They also offer a military discount! Thank you pooch palace! We are definitely return customers!

This place is a gem! My two dogs and two cats recently stayed with them for almost three weeks, and they took very good care of them. Highly recommend

This was my first time taking my elder cocker spaniels to Pooch Palace. The gals were really nice and attentive to the things I shared about my dogs, giving them a little background on each of them. They let me know how much it would cost, and I found them to be very thorough. I did think they were a bit more expensive then some other places, but the professionalism and cut was definitely top notch and completely worth it. I am very happy, and my pups look cuter then buttons! I would totally recommend. Thank you 😊 Update...from the first groom to the 3rd groom, I went from 65 a dog to 90 per dog!!! My dogs are cockers...I wondered why and just figured they priced me right outta there. Too bad, nice folks there. I drop my stars, am dissappointed☹

We have used Kayla several times and she was great! We have 3 dogs and they just love her. She is meticulous in caring for them & our house is always clean when we return from traveling. Highly recommend her for day visits or overnights.

Kayla provided exceptional house sitting and drop in visits to my kitten and 2 pups! She is extremely knowledgeable, reliable, and kind. I get nervous leaving my pets with new people, and Kayla kept me updated with pictures and little blurbs about how my kiddos were doing! It was a very stress-free process, and I cannot say enough good things about her services!

Kayla is reliable and communicative. I don’t worry about my pets under her care and know they love spending time with her.

Kayla has taken such amazing care of our two dogs and cat on many occasions. She sends wonderful updates throughout our time away and our animals love her tons!!!

Kayla has a love for animals. It was evident in her interactions with our anxious and dramatic, middle aged pooch. She is kind and eager to deliver whatever you set out for her to do. We highly recommend her whether it be for a day or a lengthy stay.

Kayla has taken care of our boys many times! She is trustworthy and professional and most importantly loves our dogs as if they were her own. We will definitely be using her services in the future! Kate & Chad

Kayla has taken excellent care of my special needs cat. She is super friendly and attentive. My cat loves her!! Highly recommend!

Beautiful and wonderful farm! My Alaskan Malamute stayed here for one week. Very clean and well maintained. Tracie is amazing! She is very sweet and great communication. She kept in touch everyday and let me know how my dog was doing. He got to play outside on the farm and play with other dogs. When I picked him up he looked well taken care of. He looked great and was so happy!! I will definitely bring him back. I feel very comfortable leaving him in good hands.

Amazing place, great price. Our dog loves it here.

They take great care of our fur buddy when we are out of town!

Great place to ride!!! Loved it
