Pet Sitters in
Yokeko Point, WA

Best Daycare/Boarding EVER! My pup has been going to STYD since she was 4 months old. Now at 3 years, this is her home away from home. She is so well cared for and I am able to enjoy my time away from her knowing she is in the best of hands!

I take my dog here for day care once a week. He absolutely has the best time and always comes home completely exhausted. Every person who works at smarter thank your dog loves and cares about the animals that come in here. My dog is always happy when we drop him off and he’s always happy and tired when we pick him up. It’s a great place for him to get good structured dog socialization skills!

Smarter Than Your Dog provided last minute boarding so that we could coordinate and attend a quickly pulled together wedding for a family member. It was a bit of a scramble but Kelly accommodated my continually changing schedule and provided excellent care for our dog who has, in the past, only stayed with family members. I was sent emails, pictures and a report card explaining how she was doing! I highly recommend Smarter Than Your Dog and and so appreciate how well our sweet pup was cared for in our absence. Thank you!!!!

We had a family emergency and found ourselves needing to board our dog. Our sweet, but shy, rescue pup had not previously been boarded before. I was nervous but each staff member I encountered from our meet and greet, dropping off, and picking up at STYD was so kind and understanding. I felt like they truly cared about the well-being of our dog and calming my nerves. I would definitely recommend their boarding services.

I highly recommend! Smarter than your dog is fantastic. My puppy is super excited to spend the day with “his pack”, I get piece of mind knowing he’s well taken care of and he’s all tuckered out at the end of the day. They do an exceptional job, especially in these unusual times, balancing friendly customer service and high quality experience with solid health and safety protocols.

I have 2 whippet puppies and started taking them to day care as soon as they were old enough. STYD did a wonderful job of assessing their needs and aligning them with a pack that would work best for them. I just went on a trip for my son’s wedding and we boarded the puppies for the first time. I was able to enjoy the trip because of the fabulous care and communication they provided. I called everyday and they were so understanding. They also provided report cards on how they were doing with pictures. Every person I’ve interacted with at STYD has been fabulous. This is the only place I would trust with my puppies. Before the puppies I use to take my greyhound to STYD. Unfortunately he passed away. So my comments with STYD has been for the care they provided for 2 years, first with a mature greyhound and now the puppies.

I took my Rough Coat Collie in to be groomed today. We have never been there before (our previous groomer passed away). She looks STUNNING! She needed quite a bit of work done- the staff was non judgmental, kind, caring, and compassionate. I'm so thankful for the wonderful job they did, and I'm so fortunate to have found a team of amazing people to take care of my sweet girl.

We have been taking Sunshine to Smarter than your Dog since she was a about 5 months old. We are first time dog owners and on a whim we stopped in there one day to see what it was about. The staff is wonderful. They loved Sunny instantly and it was the start of something beautiful. Over a year later and Sunny goes to camp every Monday. And she will tell you what day it is, Monday's are her favorite! She comes home at the end of it and puts herself to bed- she gets so exhausted from running with her pack! We love Smarter than your Dog. It gives our girl the chance to just dog-out. I trust the staff and love how much they love the dogs. As a bonus, we can get her nails done whenever she needs them trimmed-rhe onsite groomer makes life so easy!! I will say, that I am likely the random person who saw you walking your pup and recommended this business. I make a point of it because they have been so good for our dog. Try it out, can't hurt and your dog may love you even more!!

The groomers at Smarter than your Dog were really great, working us into their schedule and giving our two dogs one of the best nail trim & grinds they've ever had. We also very happy with STYD's emphasis on health and safety of the dogs and people. Thank you! We will be back!

I have been bringing my dog Luke to STYD for a year now. I really appreciated how Kelly took the time to figure out what days Luke would mix well with the other dogs due to their individual personalities. Luke LOVES going to daycare and he leaves tired every time. The staff communicates well with me should they notice anything out if the ordinary in Luke’s behavior or if there is anything I need to keep an eye on. It is a great feeling to be able to leave Luke and never worry about him. I know that he is being well taken care of by the staff and he’s having a great time playing with his four legged friends! We are moving soon and STYD has set the bar very high for me to find another place for Luke.

This business is an absolute blessing. My dog loves the daycare and is always excited when I tell her she’ll be going. The home environment for boarding makes it a good experience for dogs and cats alike, since they are staying in homey spaces rather than institutional kennels. All the staff are lovely people. Finally, the location and especially the entry garden are just stunning. It’s a beautiful place with good heart.

I reached out to All Critter Pet Care & Training to get some help with training my new pup alongside the dog I've had for a few years. I did the 5 week training plan and it helped a TON. Karry was excellent. I loved how straightforward she was. After training, we decided to put my youngest pup, Penny, into daycare weekly. Penny absolutely LOVES daycare! When I pull into the driveway she knows she's about to have a good day. She can't get through the door fast enough. It makes me feel good knowing that I'm leaving my girl in a place where she genuinely wants to be, and a place that I know she'll be safe (the dogs are never left unattended). Penny has a regular schedule, but she also goes on some other as-needed days. We don't know what we will do when we have to move :(

Highly recommend All Critter Pet Care! I know my puppy is well taken care of, getting good exercise and the socialization she needs. She loves to go play with her friends, and when she gets home she sleeps. She is better behaved at home as well. It’s awesome!

We loved training with Karry! We had a hard case with our pup and I can't properly express how much of a comfort she was with her knowledge. Karry really focused on training my husband and I on dog language so we could understand her better. This not only helped with training, but also helped all of our relationship in general. We really needed one on one training with our dog and we believe we made the right choice with choosing Karry. 10/10 recommend

Karry is so knowledgeable and a joy to work with. Even my pupp loved her. We'll be taking our rescue to her when his health gets under control.

Karry is an incredibly knowledgeable and gifted trainer. Duke, my Frenchie Boston mix, was highly reactive to other dogs and even nipping at my kids. I was at the end of my rope when I brought him to Karry. She gave me so much great information, and even more importantly, so much hands-on training. She showed me how to interact with Duke to help him behave. In 8 weeks, Duke has transformed. His reactivity to other dogs has decreased significantly and he is more polite in his interactions with people. Today, he passed his final test with flying colors. I would highly recommend Karry for any behavioral issues or training in general.

Karry Brooks is hands down the best dog trainer on the island. She doesn’t just show you basic commands and send you on your way. She helps you understand your dog and the way they process everything. She teaches you (as a human) patience, understanding, and the proper correction techniques. As a dog owner of a very reactive dog, I’ve learned to understand his needs and boundaries. Karry has, not only, transformed me as a dog owner, but has helped Dexter grow into a secure and confident dog. If you feel like you’ve lost any hope in training your dog, please see Karry before anything else. She can transform the bond between you and your pup as long as you’re willing to put in the work!

Karry was a great help to our military family. She is knowledgeable in the behavior of dogs and because of her advice we were able to get our dog on anxiety medication. If we still lived in the area we would use her services forever.

Karry is AWESOME! We LOVE All Critter Pet Care & Training LLC! Our rescue pup, Archie, continues to learn and thrive with training and gets his social time with other great dogs at day care. :)

I would like to say that I haven't even started training my dog with her yet. We simply did an evaluation. I just can not say enough at how happy I was to have my dog meet Karry. She helped me with a lot of training tips. And she quoted fairly about the prices of her service. She was super patient with all of my questions.. And my dog who has very little training (since I just got him.)

These guys are the best and I'm picky who I entrust my dogs with. They treat them like family and are very thoughtful

We have hired Totally Tails Pet Care Services to take care of our two indoor cats many times over the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased. We receive daily email photo updates along with thorough, detailed reports while we are gone. We know they get plenty of attention and affection because our cats are always cheerful and calm when we get home with no signs of separation anxiety. Thank you Michele for your great service!

Totally Tails Pet Care Services has provided excellent, caring and reliable dog walking/pet care five days a week for the last year for our two Golden Retrievers (our dogs are now one year old and nine years old). Our family is so impressed with the level of service and professionalism provided by Totally Tails Pet Care! I highly recommend them! The daily pictures of our pets, which they email us, are just the best. It is so reassuring to know that our furry family members are well cared for while we are at work.

I hired Totally Tails to watch after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I knew I didn’t want to kennel them, so I was excited about someone coming to my home to feed, exercise, and care for my pups. Not only do they do a fantastic job of exercising the dogs they sent DAILY photos and follow-ups of their health and progress. These reports made me feel very comfortable with Totally Tails. They also rotated indoor lighting so as to give the impression that someone is always home. Superb service! Beats kenneling when your pups are in their home environment. I will contract with them again!

When it comes to Totally Tails, I have nothing but positive things to say. We trust the entire team completely and know that our dogs are in great hands when we're away. Even if our regular sitter isn't available, there is always someone on standby to ensure our pups receive all the love and attention they need. Ramona runs her business with precision and ease, making scheduling and communication a breeze. We feel lucky to have Totally Tails in our dogs' lives and highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care services.

This was the best pet care service we have ever experienced. An excellent value. The daily 30-minute visit was packed with focused attention to our cat's specific needs: food, medication, daily litter box cleaning, brushing, play time with treats, supervised outdoor deck time (indoor cat), and loving lap petting time. We received a daily review with pictures that served as both comfort and joy to us while we were away. Absolutely reliable. Knowledgeable about animal care. Loving and attentive. Professional. Responsible. Attentive to detail. Michele made sure we provided for unanticipated problems prior to leaving so our bases were covered in any event. THE BEST. We came home to a calm, happy, well cared for cat.

As fellow pet care providers we are quite picky who we leave our pack with should we go out of town. Ramona took care of a large zoo of animals (game birds, fish, Guinea pigs, and dogs). Her updates were thorough, and we came home to a clean house and happy animals. If you need a professional you can trust, you've found one here. Part of why we never leave town is not having had anyone we felt comfortable leaving them with, but now we do!

I love Michelle! We trust her implicitly with our dog and home. She goes above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans and packages when she's at our home for a dog visit. She sends us texts and pictures of our dog so we know she's taken care of. And she insists you text her that you're back home so she's assured your pet is safe. That's excellent care! Highly recommend her!

Camano Pet Sitters hav been taking care of my two Springer Spaniels for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I have the peace of mind of knowing that my dogs are being loved and cared for when I have to be gone during the day. I don't know what I would do without Michele, Pat and their crew of dog lovers. I highly recommend them for you and your pet!

I was stressed, four sorta feral cats and I had to take a trip. My vet said boarding was a bad idea because none of them would adjust well - in addition to being expensive. Camano Pet Sitters to the rescue! Not only did they do a professional job I think they made headway with my cats who were actually peeking out at them by the end of the week. I cannot recommend Camano Pet Sitters highly enough - they are now my go to folks when I have to travel. My neighbors, who travel regularly, were so impressed by the level of professionalism and caring my pets received they will be switching to Camano Pet Sitters.

I just want to tell you that you guys are totally awesome. My dogs are awesome. I really appreciate it. Take care of my dogs and I look forward to having you take care of them in the future and we will get you paid up in full. plus I’m thinking about you guys all the time you’re the best. Thank you the Berglund family Rudy and stinky also. I wanted to tell you it was because of you we were able to get our house move out of the trailer and keep Rudy and stinky rThank you very much we are very thankful.

Dogs are family. Leaving them in a safe place means everything. I don't have to worry about my dogs when I leave them here. It's not easy to leave them anywhere because I love them. However, the set up here for dogs, is a tightly run safe haven. There are many safety measures in place, which I appreciate. The dogs are housed behind many doors: shut one before opening another, with the "runs" having an indoor heated sleeping area that's accessed by a tightly latched "dog door" that opens at hip level for easier control of dogs NOT simply running out. Its a great place, that has obviously been well thought out. From a protective "mama" (me), I whole-heartedly recommend this kennel.

Wonderful small, family-run kennel with friendly staff, clean premises, large indoor-outdoor runs with heated floors to keep your pup warm and cozy on chilly nights. We boarded our 3 dogs here while we explored the San Juan Islands on bicycles. The dogs had a great time, and so did we! They even have professional groomers on-site, so you can get an exit bath or hair and nail trim all as part of your visit. Definitely recommend!

I moved to the area last February and needed to have my kitty housed. They were AMAZING!!!! They cared for my kitty when I couldn’t and did everything just the way I would have when I couldn’t have her where I was. I showed up to drop my kitty off not knowing what to expect really nervous I mean this is my family (kitty) and a lot of what you hear are horror stories not knowing if I would be comfortable and able to leave her, as soon as I walked in I felt at ease then talking with the front office lady( VICKY) she was AMAZING! She was so sweet to my kitty and my kitty loves her, the owner Chris is AMAZING as well he would go in the evening and would love and play with her! They are amazing caring understanding and easy to talk to! I would call or come in and she always loves to share what’s been going on making sure I am informed all along the way telling me the cute funny things my kitty was doing! I have never had to house one of my animals before so also being new to the area and hearing all the horror stories this was scary but So GLAD I found this place. IF YOU WANT A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS HANDS DOWN NO QUESTIONS ASKED! If I had to house another animal this would be the place! Thanks again for all the help and love 💕 you provided to my kitty! If you want a positive experience this is the kennel I WOULD choose!!!! I’ll bring her back to visit 😊

First off I feel completely lied to. The website and signs at the boarder say that we can book two dogs (under 110lbs) in a shared run for 36 a night. This is false and apparently hasn’t been an option since 2016. Instead our dogs who are never separated were forced into a small cubby and into a narrow run surrounded by other dogs, separate from each other. There were no updates that most kennels offer and when we called we got minimal information that everything is fine. Going to pick up our dogs was almost as bad. Our youngest was absolutely terrified to come towards the cubby despite loving people making us wonder just how good things actually were. The kennels smelled horrible and looked filthy. I would never recommend this to someone who has more than one dog or who wants a good quality experience for their dogs.

We took our German Shepard here for the first time last week to be groomed. Vicki was very nice and up front, prices are very reasonable and his nail trim looked great, not too short. I prefer to support local businesses over box store grooming services and I would recommend Vicki and Sunnyhill Kennels, we will definitely be a repeat customer.

Very dissatisfied 😡 we took our 9 year old Maltese to them for the first time to be groomed. Our little dog looked like she was cut with a hack saw. The worst grooming I have ever seen in my life!!!!!! And this little dog is very used to groomers. We thought we would try this place because they were close to home. Margarite( the owner) was rude and was making excuses for how horrible our dog looked. No sympathy from her folks! She said she worked on our dog for 3 hours scissor cutting her. More like she torchered her for 3 hours 🤬

This was a hard one for me. I was not impressed with the standards of the "kennels" considering I had to put my dog in a small wood box with a "bed" that was wood raised 1/2 inch off the ground. There was a hole in the box that led to their runs which were just chain link fencing. The part that really got me was the terrible horror movie alarms that are right by the runs blasting a screeching alarm at the dogs every time someone drives in or out. This is not where you should take your dog if they are spoiled or have anxiety. This place is more for outside dogs or farm dogs. The people were nice, nothing against them. My personal opinion is I would never leave my dogs in those "kennels".

I like the way my dogs are treated and Vicky is great. Very friendly and personable. Reasonable grooming prices too. I had a problem and Vicky and the staff fixed it for me immediately 😅 very pleased. …

Our dogs enjoyed their stay, we were very happy with the bathing service. Vickey made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care.

Kate watched both my dog (Todd) and my sister’s dog (Lenny) at my home over a long holiday weekend. Both being labradoodles, they are energetic and can be a handful. Not only was she able to provide updates and photos each day, she handled them with amazing skill. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. I will definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to other family and friends!

Kate is simply the best. We trust our Charlie girl with her and know that she cares about Charlie as much as we do. It makes me so happy and relieved to know that Charlie has a sitter who loves her so much and takes such great care of her when we can't be with her. Kate takes her on hour long walks and takes photos of her every time for us. The best part is that Charlie is smiling in all of them! I would highly recommend Kate and I'm so glad we found her!

My wife and I found Kate & Wagnolia thru Google, after our sitter-at-the-time found another job. She's been great with our energetic (handful) Doberman puppy and adult English Setter. Appreciate her text updates and flexibility with our family's schedule. Thankful for all of her help!

The owners are friendly to us and our dogs. They are more attentive than other dog boarding companies and took very good care of our 8 month puppy who is still learning to be social. The owners updated us with a video of our dogs every day while we were traveling.

This was our pup's first time being boarded, so we were a little nervous. Kate came highly recommended. I knew when I dropped our pup off, he was in good hands! I got daily photos and/or videos, he looked so happy, and that helped us enjoy our vacation. Glad to have found trusted, high quality care for our dog. We will definitely use Magnolia again!

Kate is amazing with my senior bulldog, Gigi. I travel extensively for work and I leave knowing that Gigi is well cared for and given lots of love. Kate is very responsive to texts and I appreciate all her pictures of my pup while I am gone. Quite simply you will find no better sitter in the area, I highly recommend Kate!

We recently found Wagnolia Petsitting and are so grateful. Kate has been absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog and cat. We always feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We get so many cute pictures and our pets are always happy.

Kate takes great care of our two dogs when we are out of town. She sends us updates and is quick to respond to us if we have any questions. It feels great to not have to worry about our dogs when we are away. Definitely recommend Wagnolia!

I would only trust Wagnolia with my pets! My dogs love Kate and her team! It’s the best feeling when you have to leave your animals with someone that you LOVE and your pets LOVE even more! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies and treating them like they are your own! I would recommend Wagnolia 100%. Hank and Kathy love you guys!

Kate is an excellent sitter. We’ve know her for 2 years now. Our two dogs (one elderly, one young) and cat all love her! She is super responsible and an excellent caretaker. We contact her first when we are looking for care needs!

Erik has taken excellent care of our large greyhound since we adopted our pup in March. Greyhounds can be shy and aloof to strangers, but Erik seems to have a natural intuition in engaging with my dog; this is evident during our first meeting, and our boy has maintained a bond with Erik ever since. My significant other and I both have highly demanding jobs, and Erik has been blessing to us especially in caring for our energetic boy both during the day and sometimes overnight home stays. He pays great attention to details, has been flexible with scheduling, and always provide timely updates to let us know how our dog is doing. I knew our pup was in great hands when we arranged a week-long overnight stay with Erik. We have been incredibly pleased with how professional, communicative, and passionate Erik is about taking care of our pup.

Erik is GREAT. My little pup really looks forward to her walks with Erik.

One of the most compassionate and experienced person that I have ever met. Harley (my doggie) looks for Eric on the weekends. He truly is the animal whisperer. This is Harley the Great Dane

Erik does great with our German Shepherd puppy! He is reliable and trustworthy. We never have any concerns about our baby or the house when Erik is coming in and out. I have and will continue to recommend his services. I especially appreciate the pics he sends when he is there with her-it helps to see her so happy!

I love Erik and have been using him for years. We had a new rescue this year and even on the first visit he quickly acclimatised even though he was nervous with men specifically. I never have any doubts leaving my dogs with Erik.

Erik has helped me take care of my pet Blue and Gold Macaw and our family cat off and on for the past three years. He has been very reliable and trustworthy! We had long vacations where he needed to help us daily and he made friends with our very shy cat and was able to tend our parrot making our vacation worry free. Thank you Erik for your service!

Erik has watched our two cats twice now. Both times for four days. One of our cats has asthma and needs an inhaler. Erik has been able to give her this medication with ease and we are so grateful! We have been so impressed with this service. He is prompt and kind. Very communicative. The price is extremely reasonable. This most recent trip, we accidentally got the days wrong and he was able to accommodate! The cats really like him. Professionalism is at a 10! We will definitely hire him whenever we’re out of town and we recommend him to anyone!

My dogs love Erik! The are full of excitement when they see him arrive. He is very dependable and professional! I have two high energy dogs that Erik handles with ease. I highly recommend him!

We highly recommend Erik (Crazy Dog Man) for pet sitting. We have a large black lab/pit bull/Great Dane mix (Harley) that is a rescue, abused as a pup many years ago. He is therefore apprehensive around new people and takes awhile to gain trust. When Harley met Erik earlier this year, he took to him right away. Erik respects and understands Harley and his needs, especially now that he is a senior dog and has health issues. Erik stays at our house when we are on vacation and the occasional weekend, and provides Harley with exceptional care, including all his medications. Erik is definitely in tune with dogs, no matter their size.

Erik is very capable, conscientious and caring. My three horses and one donkey can be a handful but Erik handled them beautifully. He also did a great job of keeping their stalls, paddock and arena clean. I have recommended him to my friends, because they know I’m very particular about the quality of my pet family’s care. Erik provides that level of care!

Claudia at Happy Paws is the best place to board your dog! We recently had our two labs, Homer and Lloyd stay with Claudia for 10 days. They were taking care of very well, they were so happy to be there. It was such a huge relief to be away, knowing our boys were happy. She sent us a daily report on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort to anyone looking for great pet care! Below are photos we received from our daily reports.

Claudia took very good care of my dog. She is great at communicating each day about how my dog was getting along with others and how she was doing overall. The daily photos show a very happy dog.

We are grateful to have such a loving, safe, and relaxing environment for our dog Kona while we were away. Happy Paws Inn & Resort is truly the best! Claudia gets to know her clients well, she pays special attention to each dogs' needs and creates an environment for all to succeed. You know you're in the right place when you pick up your dog and he is healthy happy, and a better all around doggie citizen!

We were so relieved to discover Claudia at Happy Paws to take care of our special needs rescue mutt, who is a sweetheart but is insecure and reactive. After thoroughly learning about his behavior and needs, she accepted him for exclusive overnight care. When we left him for his first trial night, we were skeptical he would be able to adjust, but Claudia is a true dog person because he settled right in with her in her comfortable doggy-centric home. She sent us multiple updates during the 24-hour period, reassuring us he was doing well and asking clarifying questions to ensure his happiness and comfort. Claudia is a gem and we highly recommend her for doggy care needs!

We highly recommend Happy Paws Inn and Resort. we left our golden doodle, Beau with Claudia for four days and she sent pictures showing how he was getting along. It was obvious that he was having a good time. It is also obvious that Claudia cares about each dog she takes care of.

We can't say enough good about our dog's stay with Claudia. This was his first time away from us, and he couldn't have been happier. Claudia helped him adjust, relax, eat, play with the other dogs, and cuddle with her. The walks she took him on were safe and interesting, the other dogs that stayed at the same time he was with her were a great match. I love that she understood our dog and his needs so well. I highly recommend Happy Paws and Claudia. It was perfect for our dog who needs stimulation, safety, and also a home environment. Thank you, Claudia!

Claudia has watched my dog a number of times, as she takes wonderful care of him. He is always happy to go over there, and I have total peace of mind when I travel knowing that he’s having fun! I would highly recommend Claudia if you need dog sitting - she is kind, friendly, and very professional. Additionally, she cares for the dogs as though they were her own, taking the time to really bond and connect. Highly recommend! :)

There is truly no better caretaker for your pup than Claudia with Happy Paws Inn and Resort! She's loving, responsible, and will make your dog feel right at home. We are so grateful to Claudia and would make a trip to the Olympic Peninsula just so our pup could stay with her again!

Claudia is the most loving, wonderful human for our dog and we're grateful to have her here in Port Townsend. She takes the best care of our high maintenance/anxiety ridden older pup- we get lots of updates and sweet photos during his stay, and he always comes home absolutely exhausted and happy. He also knows what street she lives on and gets excited any time we drive by. :) Highly recommend Happy Paws!

As a bit of an anxious pet parent I was able to relax knowing our rambunctious pup was in great hands with Claudia. She sent daily updates and went out of her way to provide play dates for Hugo. I highly recommend Happy Paws Inn & Resort!

Beautiful, peaceful setting for a walk in the woods with my fur baby.

The staff was very welcoming. I have never boarded my dog before and the moment I walked in everyone was giving my girl so much love and attention I felt at ease. It’s very clean I lover pulling up to the red barn and green fields. This is a very comfortable space.

Writing this review to hopefully help others because we were completely blindsided. THIS PLACE IS FAR FROM A RESORT!!! I did some research and Dogwood came recommended by others in the area. Looking at their website, I didn’t think it would be a traditional kennel, and that’s what they advertise. We went for a tour and I was appalled. I guess I didn’t do enough research because after reading some other reviews just now, I likely would have never set foot in this facility. Just looking at this the owner has responded to some negative reviews is very telling. I can’t imagine how these employees treat the pets staying here. First, the staff member who led the tour was far from friendly. She didn’t seem like someone who would give my dog any love or attention. If you go to the website and read the history, you’ll see that they opened this business to not be like other kennels. They state “some kennels are dark, windowless buildings with poor ventilation, cold floors, and low ceilings.” Upon entering the kennel, everything about that statement was true about Dogwood. The smell of urine could be smelt through a mask. The kennel area was extremely claustrophobic. Sure there are a few windows way up high, but overall it was dark and felt like a depressing animal shelter. They only let your dog out of the kennel twice a day for ten minutes. If you would like your dog to be let out more, you can pay to do so. Reading other reviews, this place charges for every little “upgrade” that seem like normal parts of our dog’s lives. To me, it was clear this place was just there to make money. I didn’t get the sense from the atmosphere or the employee that they would care at all for my dog. If you are looking for a place that would love and care for your dog, save yourself the time and don’t bother with Dogwood.

Deserve zero stars. Picked my dogs up after 4 days of boarding. They handed me back over 3/4 of the food I had given them. My smaller dog's face looked sunken in. Took them home bathed them then weighed them. Smaller dog had lost 10# and larger dog had lost 8#. They claimed they fed them twice per day, impossible considering how much food was returned and weight loss. Gave them enough food for those 4 days and like I said over 3/4 was returned. I've read other reviews that state they only let the boarded dogs out twice per day. After this stay I would wager a bet that they only see them once per day period. Feed them, let them out and see-ya tomorrow. I have large dogs that require 4 cups of food per day and they were given closer to 1.5 cups per day. If you love your dogs do NOT leave them in their care.

So clean and a great talented staff. They really know what they're doing here and your dogs and cats will be well taken care of, highly recommended!!

I used the Dogwood for years when I lived on Whidbey Island. This place is truly special and provides amazing care for furry friends. Every time I'd round the corner and head down the street toward the Dogwood my dog would get so excited! He absolutely loved it there. He required multiple medications and treatments and the staff always made sure he was well taken care of. He always came home exhausted and happy. Thank you to everyone at the Dogwood (especially you, Colleen) who made the time my friend spent on the island magical. He has since passed over the rainbow bridge but I am happy he was able to spend so many wonderful years visiting this place. Thank you to all the staff who make this place what it is.

We’ve been taking our sweet Stormy girl to Dogwood about every other month for the past six months for 5-10 days at a time. She’s had the best of time there. She’s always excited when we pull up and they are always happy to greet her when she comes in. Everything has been very straight forward and our dog has been very well cared for. This is a big deal not only to myself but my kids to knowing that she’s in good hands!♥️

Please reconsider taking ANY pet here!!! You may have the belief your pet will be safe, happy and well cared for, but that couldn't be further from the truth!! These animals are left unattended in cement cages for 14 hours a day, 5PM to 8AM. They may get an outside break for a total of 20 minutes a day, at times this doesn't happen as the staff may "run out of time" keep in mind they will NEVER miss a smoke break. There is constant barking and loud noises throughout the day, aggressive dogs are not muzzled and certain dogs who are visibly shaking are not given extra attention or care for their fear and anxiety. Additionally, when a well intending person pays extra $ for their pet to receive extra playtime, it will be too much of a burden for the staff, yet it gets marked down as a provided service. Please consider leaving your dog in its known environment and hire a person to check on and actually care for your pet. I have personally used WAG before and I have had great success.

I should have read more of these reviews. We took our pup there twice to be socialized, both times he came home stressed and nauseous not having spent any time with other dogs and the excuse of "maybe next time." I want to believe they are spending time with my pup but suspect he's spending the day stressing in a kennel, taken out only occasionally to relieve himself. There won't be a "maybe next time." Not a good fit for us and if you want your dog socialized I recomend you look elsewhere as well.

Two stars for the facility being nice & clean. Minus 3 stars for our fur baby being locked in a kennel majority of the time during his stay. Please pay the extra $5-$10 to take your pet to a daycare that is prison free. (Not Locked in a kennel) my dog cried the whole way home & slept with us because he was so distraught. I wouldn’t recommend this place for social dogs.

My German Shepherd lights up every time she’s greeted at the door. She’s always met with loving energy and is always excited to be here! More than just boarding there was such attentiveness and care given and Iris, my German Shepherd is always such a happy puppy when I pick her up! I’m always provided with pictures and updates while Iris is in her care and it’s really nice to have that peace of mind as I go about my day! I always feel like I’m trusting my Iris with a close friend, not just a business. From Doggy Daycare to house calls or just simple dog walks, there’s no one else I would rather have my looking after my baby and I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of pet care!

One of the best doggie daycare I've ever experienced!!! My two fur babies are my pride and joy and to be able to get pictures sent during daycare was a great way for me to see how my babies were doing. I was even able to board my fur babies while I went on vacation recently and it was the most relaxing feeling knowing my pups were having a blast and well taken care of! Definitely highly recommend especially when wanting the best care for your babies!

All Lives Paradise will always be my go to for all my pet care needs. From drop in daycare to boarding All Lives Paradise provides a safe fun environment for my dogs to socialize and explore.

First time leaving my dog under someone else's care since I got Nala. Outstanding services and professionalism! Rachael asked questions regarding Nala that made me know she was looking after my dog's best interest! I received a happy Nala back, and though I don't like the thought of being away from my pup, I know she is in good hands with this place!!

I’ve had Rachael of All Lives Paradise care for my 2 dogs and 1 cat on several occasions now. The most recent being last week and involved a family emergency that required me to get to Oregon immediately. Exceptional care and concern was provided to my fur friends (on every occasion) and they and I couldn’t be more happy with the services provided. She also sent pictures and updates on how they were doing and their activities. EXCELLENT !!! Rachael and All Lives Paradise is the ONLY pet care service I will use and she and her company have a customer for life. Thanks again Rachael…very much.

Very caring company, they take their time with all animals they take care of. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for daycare or boarding for their animals. 5 star animal hotel essentially lol love the staff there they are all very genuine people. The owner is super sweet and caring.

Amazing care that comes from the heart ❤️ weather your pet has problems with others or health conditions your pets are always in good care ❤️ pretty much a second home for your pets needs for a worry free vacation 🫶🏻 …

She's great with the animals she cares for and incredibly hard working!

Best place ever she treats everyone with respect ill neverbgo anywhere else

Thank you for much for your review!

Roxanne took wonderful care of our dog, and was very careful and professional about introducing her into the pack. I was very comfortable leaving our girl in Roxanne’s wonderful care. We will absolutely be using her again.

Roxanne took great care of our Coonhound, Rosie during multiple overnight and day care stays. She is a welcoming and adoring person and clearly loves the pups she cares for. I felt at ease on a long trip knowing that Rosie was in a caring environment that allowed her to sleep on couches, interact with other dogs in a large, open facility and have attentive caretakers. Roxie sent photos of Rosie and kept us abreast of her activity while we were away. During COVID restrictions, she makes online reservations simple and curbside drop-off/pick-up an ease. I wish there was a facility like this everywhere we’ve lived! I would recommend Roxanne and Fidoggo highly to any friends or family in the Anacortes area.

Roxy is awesome! When we first brought Tug to stay with Roxy, she showed incredible care in integrating Tug with the pack she maintains. Roxy is a "dog whisperer" who can clearly read the temperment and personality of dogs. Like most dog owners, we are unreasonably attached to our dog and leave him in the hands of others with great trepidation. For Tug, I am convinced, a trip to Roxy's is like a stay at summer camp. If you are looking for a place to board your pup for a while, I don't think you can do much better.

I hate leaving my anxious dog Gracie when we go on vacation and am reluctant to leave her at a kennel because it makes her anxiety worse. When I came across FiDoggo in a web search I felt it would be perfect for my pup! It's more of a homestay than a kennel, but you still get the professionalism and assurance that your dog won't be alone. Roxy eased Gracie into the experience with day care so when the day came to board, she wouldn't be so nervous. During vacation Roxy kept in touch with photos and updates. When we came back Gracie looked healthy and happy. It was a success! We'll definitely be using FiDoggo again.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon Roxanne a couple of months ago and she is the dog sitter of choice from here on out. She only has about 4-5 dogs at a time and operates out of her home, which is ideal for my dog who spends most of his afternoon at home and isn't the most social of pets. She has been accommodating and communicative. Couldn't ask for better. Also! test of tests, we saw her at the dog park, and when my dog saw her he ran up, tail wagging to say hello :)

I can’t say enough great things about Roxanne. I take my senior dog to her 5 days a week. She is so patient and attentive to all his sweet old dog needs. She and Larry are such nice people to interact with and the doggie accommodations are very nice. She cares about every dog there and it shows.

My doggo’s second home. The most trusting, loving, and caring owner Roxanne, knows each dog personally. I cannot think of a more trustworthy, knowledgeable, and loving caretaker for your doggo whether at work, or away for an extended period of time. I would give 10 stars if I could.

This is the best place to board your dog on the planet! The love and attention my dog receives here is better than any place I've ever been. The location is quick and easy, and the neighborhood very nice. I feel my dog is in safe hands and that I've made a good decision in choosing this business. I highly recommend them.

Truly the best dog care by owners that love all dogs! Home environment that does not make you feel guilty about having to leave your dogs.

The best thing about Puget Hounds is that my dearest dog, Jake, loves to go there. He gets his hugs and love from the lovely people who work there. He has his regular dog friends. It is a second home to him. He is safe, he is fed to my directions. It is a great place for a dog and a great business to work with for a dog’s owner.

My dog Mady seems to love all of your staff. I believe that he has a good time playing with the other dogs. I was so impressed with Amber on your staff. I am handicapped and I was fearful that my dog could get out when someone opened the front dog if he was not tight on his leash. Amber helped me put his leash and harness on. She was so thoughtful and kind. Mady is only ten months old. He is a lot for me to handle with my osteoarthritis, but no one could love him more dearly and give him a better home than me. He needs the socialization at Puget Hound that I cannot give him at home.

Earlier this year we got our pup Luna signed up. She loves going to daycare! She has made great friends and it always excited when we drop her off. She comes home tired from a day full of play. The staff are very friendly.

Puget Hound has been an absolute sweet haven of delight for my dog. She loves daycare and all the fun and social interaction with other dogs. The staff is so kind and caring. The team makes it so stress free and easy to manage drop off and pick up scheduling. We can’t say enough great things about Puget Hound

Our lab Bode has been going to Puget Hound since March and so far he's loving it! It was unnerving sending my fur-baby off to daycare for the first time, but the staff at Puget Hound have been very responsive to any questions or concerns that come up. I would like to give a special thanks to Abby & Riley. Abby did our initial questionnaire for his temperament test and was super reassuring throughout the process (this helped me feel like he was in good hands!) Upon drop off/pick up, Riley always has a smile on her face and (today specifically) was prompt in relaying Bode's first photos and report with me - I'm so grateful. Big thanks to all the staff at Puget Hound!

Bandit has been going to Puget for over two years now. Not only does it give him an opportunity to run and play all day, it gives him time to interact with the other pups, which is a good thing for him. The staff are great. They clean him up on the wet days, and the always have him ready when it's time to go home. Having him somewhere that they show they care about him as much as we do is important.

Puget hound has been such a god send for me! I work from home and am always looking for an opportunity to get my little Rosie the chance to play while I’m typing away. The staff here has always fostered a fun, safe, and seamless environment for Rosie to have the best time! She has made so many friends and always comes home ready to sleep for days! Thank you Puget hound for being Rosie’s second home!

My dog Monty absolutely loves it here! He can't wait to go "play with doggies" as I tell him! The staff is so helpful, attentive, and really love the dogs, and you can really tell the dogs are having fun too. I love that he gets indoor and outdoor play time and comes home tired at the end of the day. I haven't used their boarding yet, but I would feel totally safe leaving Monty with The Puget Hound for any length of time. As a very protective dog parent, having someplace that I can safely leave my pup for the day while I run errands, work, or do whatever needs to be done is priceless. I'm so happy I found Puget Hound and recommend them to anyone!!

recently in the area and required dog daycare for my dog. Puget hound was absolutely amazing with accommodating my need and took him for the afternoon. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and friendliness of the staff. Great service and my dog seemed to have a good afternoon there

Our small dog always has a great time and has made friends. Great place to let your dog have fun while you're at work. Would recommend to others.
