We have been taking our Golden Retriever, the white tornado to RDR since he was a wee pup who was a…read morehandful. Everyone at RDR has been so responsible and caring with all the the fur babies. Cloud had a tough time with his grooming and bath at first, but with care and patience he now does very well. Cloud is now 3 years old and we would not think of taking him anywhere else for day care, grooming or boarding. There have been times of emergency and RDR has gone above and beyond making sure we had nothing to worry about when my husband and myself ended up in the hospital. RDR took such good care of Cloud. He just loves it there and gets so excited when we pull up. I think if he ever got lost he would find RDR before he would find home!

They are awesome with my Goldendoodle, She is well cared for, and has made great friends.read more

This will probably end up in the "not recommended" review because that seems to be where all the…read moregood reviews are.. but I will try anyways. I've never boarded my dogs before and was very worried. I have one husky mix with separation anxiety and the other is dog aggresive to strange dogs. Dog sitters were not an option and I couldn't stick my dogs in a kennel. I don't exactly remember how I stumbled on Peninsula Pet Lodge, but I saw the suites and contacted them via email to see if they would take my "special needs dogs." They said the Gig Harbor location would be the best bet with the suites. When time got closer to book, Joie contacted me via email that Olalla would be the better location now that they have suites and are better prepared for dogs with needs. We toured the facility and booked it. Today while trying to see if they accepted checks before I picked up my boys I saw all the negative yelp reviews and got worried. (I did not see the "not recommended" positive reviews.) When I got there the woman at the desk was great, she went into detail about my boys stay including that they tested my aggresive dog in a small group and he did great. The one dog was actually upset to leave and pouted in the car. I couldn't have been more relieved to see my dogs geninuly happy. The only thing that I am taking off 1 star for is when I dropped my dogs off the woman asked a coworker to bring my dogs to the porch while they cleaned the suite, and when I went back with the one dog while she had the other, the woman bringing them back started screaming at my 2 year old that she couldn't come past a certain point. My 2 year old went into a panic for me and thw woman screamed more at her because she didn't know if the other (caged) dog was child friendly. Which wasn't relevant because my daughter didn't even care about the dog, only being next to me. My daughter is only 2, she was confused and scared why a stranger is telling her that she can't be with her mom. My daughter has been taught never to touch strange dogs, which I understand the lady doesn't know that, but she didn't hand it well and that made me lose it on her.

Boarded two dogs at Peninsula Pet Lodge for a week in August. NOTE: this was a last minute need and…read morethey were the only facility with availability near us. I walked in and the place smelled terrible. The facility is very worn and dirty. The single staff member, Melody, was the only good thing in the whole situation. Facility was grossly understaffed, and management was rude to her when she required information or corrections to accounting. Picked dogs up and our Boston Terrier had bloody diarrhea. They made no note of this and did not mention it. Took her to the vet and was diagnosed with a parasite. Emailed the owners and facility to advise and request reimbursement. Radio silence from them. DO NOT BOARD HERE!

So glad we found Bayside Animal Lodge! We just moved to WA a few months ago and our Rotties were…read morestressed out and hadn't been comfortable with their surroundings in the two months we'd been here already. We looked at a few doggy lodges and felt that Bayside was a nice place and the staff were playful with our dogs. Not only that, they were very clean and the facility did not smell (very important!). Also, their prices are fair compared to other places that we've seen or tried. Since we found Bayside, our pups have been visiting every 2-3 weeks and they love it every time! Even during the COVID restrictions, Bayside was there for them. Our Rotties love to socialize and going to Bayside provides the environment we want for them. The staff is warm and welcoming and we can tell how much they enjoy having our giant spoiled Rotties there. We've used their grooming services and their groomers do a great job and provide a report afterwards on their condition and needs. Love that! After doggy vamp, our pups come home like dead weights. They barely make it to bed because they had oodles of fun at Bayside!

My dog came home after a week's stay without stress and seemed happy! Staff were kind and attentive.read more

I am embarrassed for this firm. And for the poor groomer the owner sent out today…read more 10 days ago, I submitted an online request for an appointment for my two dogs. A few days later, Aloha responded with a text message saying my request was approved, and that someone would reach out to me to schedule. Nobody did. So we took our dogs elsewhere. Today, a lovely young lady arrived in the Aloha grooming van. I felt so bad for her, having to explain that we were never notified, and that we'd already sought services elsewhere. She was so polite and apologetic. She also said, "This happens a lot." Which tells me all I need to know. To the owner: Seriously, do better! You can't just show up on a random Saturday and expect your customers to adjust to your schedule. You have to contact and CONFIRM with your customers any appointments. You could have saved yourself the cost, and your employee the embarrassment, with simple communication effort. Business is intentional, not a hobby to do casually. Figure out how to communicate better before your business ends up in the toilet. Or close down now and spare us all from the effects of your inability to provide basic customer service. Sad that I have to write this, but others need to know this happened, and happens often.

My dog ​​is very timid. With that in mind, I took him to a doggy daycare for the day. As I…read moreexpected, he stayed in the corner of the room alone, without interacting with other dogs. The second time I took him, I had access to the cameras in the room, and the same thing happened, which was fine. It will probably take some time for him to get used to it. My point is that during the 5 hours my dog ​​was there, I didn't see any employees in the room interacting with the dogs or taking care of them. I also didn't see any toys for the dogs. All the dogs were lying down, seemingly bored. At dinnertime, they took my dog ​​to an individual room with food and water. My dog ​​didn't eat or drink. I think there should be an employee with the dogs at all times, and especially for new and timid dogs like mine, they should give them a little more attention.

Our dogs love Barbara and we consider her an integral part of our family. More than anything HikePups provides peace of mind when my wife and I are on the road working. We've had over half a dozen pet sitters over the last 25 years and no other pet sitting service has provided better service than Barbara and hikepups. Our dogs not only love the in-home service but also enjoy being boarded at the Hikepups house in Gig Harbor. It's really like Disneyland for dogs as there are many different areas of the house to explore and play. Dependable, reliable and reasonable cost are all words I would use to describe HikePups. I recommend HikePups without hesitation.
