She goes to Marymoor Park, swims, and otherwise has enough exercise and fun to chill for the rest of the day at home. I have had Luna for 4 years. I got her at a shelter when she was about a year old and for reasons I never understood, she would not willingly get into a car. I had to pick her up (all 80 pounds of her) and put her in the car, even after enticing her with treats and taking her only to doggie parks for play time. What is amazing is that after a a couple of months with Veronica, Luna gets into a car on her own now. That is testimony to one loving dog walker! If Luna were writing this review, it would be even more positive :)

This is our first experience with a dog walker, and so far it's far surpassed our expectations…read more We have an aging Bernese Mountain Dog with hip issues, and we finally realized we weren't getting him the walks he needed. Not knowing anyone utilizing a local dog walker, I turned to Yelp and picked the one with the most positive reviews. Veronica, Kevin and Shannon have been great so far. The first day they came to walk our guy when I wasn't home, he barked and was not interested in going anywhere with them. (Good thing/bad thing, I guess.) Shannon patiently waited, spent time with him, and gave him love. Veronica called me that afternoon to discuss. I'm not sure my kid's preschool is that on top of it. They've also been great about getting him enough exercise without overdoing it. Good people, dog lovers, professional.

My Samoyed has been going to doggy daycare and periodically boarding with Lori for years and it has…read morebeen wonderful! Our pup is always excited when we arrive and we know she has a great time there. This location is incredibly convenient for us and significantly more affordable than other options is Seattle. I like that the dogs have lots of space to roam in the backyard can freely move inside and outside when they want to. We feel very lucky to send our dog to Baba Lu's!

Everyone has their own review and stories and originally I chose baba Lu's as they were rated well…read morebut after a couple of incidents I won't be back nor do I recommend them to anyone. I've used baba Lu's for a few of my visits and it's been a mixed bag. My dog was fine at the meet and greet and 2 of the bookings, my dog was fine and staff were nice. 2 of the other times I had issues with my dog - once he came back with two chipped teeth and 6 dime to quarter sized scabs from an altercation, and the other time he needed to visit the emergency vet due to swelling of his male appendage and extreme redness/sores around his genitals. For the latter booking, I find it odd that the caretakers did not notice this as two different vets said it was obvious it had been out for a while. To me, it seems like the caretakers are not watching the dogs as attentively as they should. If something was odd, I should've been contacted but wasn't. After the whole situation at the emergency vet happened, the owner of Baba lu's (Lori) seemed indifferent about the situation. My partner also noticed distressed barking one time when I was picking up my dog but shrugged it off. I won't be back especially after this last emergency vet visit and the lack of observation. Use your own judgement - I shouldn't have used baba Lu's after the first incident. Some other info: Lori will offers trazodone to dogs that have anxiety - I had to specifically mention not to use it as she's not a vet. It's odd that a dog boarder/day care would offer this medication that requires a prescription and that if a dog wasn't a fit, they wouldn't be allowed. Baba Lu's does not offer any refunds but provides credits with at least 2 weeks notice only if they can fill the spot. Any notice less than 2 weeks has a cancellation fee and it's usually 3 days. Weekday drop off is 7-10am with no weekend morning drop offs. Pickup is up to 9pm. There's a $45 charge for day care if you don't pickup before 10am. otherwise $60 for boarding a night. Venmo (not using goods and services) seems to be the preferred way for payment. Lori will not show you where dogs sleep during the temperament visit nor is she willing to send pictures of your pet during boarding as it is "confidential". Again, I do not recommend Baba Lu's Playhouse.

I and my cats Ryan & Sunshine have been clients of CTH since September 2023 and have had two…read moreseparate trips where they have visited our babies. CTH has 4 cat homes in our neighborhood who are clients and we all love them! Ben & Brooklyn are the sitters we have had so far, but there are more. There are so many great parts of this company that I can't pick just one. - The sitters really love and care for the animals! We have one cat who's such a ham and wants pets forever, and another who is more shy. They take the time with the shy one, and let her warm up to them which she eventually has! And they get just as excited about it as I do :) - You get text message updates after every visit with a play-by-play for the visit, and they include photos! It was something we asked boarding places for and they said they said "we don't do that." The pictures are especially nice. ** The photos attached to this review are ones that our sitters have sent :) - Scheduling is so easy. You just go online into the calendar on your account, and you can choose days, times (morning and evening, up to 2x/day), and length of visit. You can choose if you need medications administered as well. - They are transparent and absolutely fair in their cost. I've found it to be comparable to boarding, and the benefit is they get to stay home in their own environment and aren't kept in a small enclosure for so much of their day. - They're extremely kind, diligent, and careful, especially with our cat who's a runner when the door opens. I'm no longer nervous or feel guilty about going out of town because we can choose longer visits for our sitters; our babies will still lots of snuggles and play time!

We came to Seattle for my cousins wedding. Usually our ESA Titan-Dan goes with us everywhere and we…read morehad planned on taking him to the wedding with us. But, then I had a better idea and started looking for pet sitters for the day. We found several listed on yelp. Mark was one of our first calls. He was responsive and available. He met us at breakfast briefly to say hello and tell us his plan for the day with Titan and make sure that we all felt comfortable. Titan hit it off with Mark immediately. This is the first time we had ever left Titan with a stranger and we weren't sure how Titan would react. As we pulled away titan didn't even watch us leave as he and Mark were already off to a great start. Mark sent us text pics of their adventure together throughout the day & night and that really made us happy! Mark kept Titan with him and a couple other cute doggies all day and then delivered him to our vacation rental just before we got home. We were cracking up when we found a report card Mark left for Titan with a big red A+ at the top and notes of what they did and how many time he pooped! Lol! To sum it up Mark offers great service, quality care and is very compassionate. We highly recommend Mark.

Thank God I was able to find Mark because he made my boyfriend and I feel so at ease leaving our…read more11-month old German Shepherd puppy for the first time. We were going to be out of the country for a few days, and after touring a dog hospital decided we didn't feel comfortable leaving our puppy more or less locked up in a crate all day. We found Mark via Rover.com and he was able to schedule our meet and greet pretty quickly. After meeting our puppy, it was clear they hit it off, so we booked the stay and enjoyed receiving pictures and updates for each day she was with him (Thursday - Tuesday). I would highly recommend Mark as a sitter, especially for any first time pet parents. He is extremely professional and has the calmest, nurturing disposition... a true pleasure to work with. To boot, our puppy went into heat about a week before we were scheduled to leave the country, and Mark rolled with the punches like a pro. He took amazing care of her and accommodated her being in heat. I would give him 5 stars! As an added bonus, I believe having Khaleesi (our puppy) be part of Mark's pack for daily walking and overnight stays greatly helped calm her energy level down, offer her a stable routine, and priceless socializing. She returned to us calmer, more obedient, and attentive.

Evergreen Paws is a complete life saver! I can't thank Marie, the owner, and Kennedy, our walker,…read moreenough for making sure our sweet girl gets walked, played, and loved while we're at work! A few highlights of why I picked Evergreen Paws over other services in the area for my golden retriever Belle: - Same walker every session, which is a huge plus in terms of Belle getting to know the same person, and me being aware of who's coming in and out of my apartment. - Walk options; I'm a big fan of the 60-min trail walk, which really tires Belle out. They also have quick potty break options, shorter walks, and dog park trips. - Play time! Our walker brings her dog to walk Belle sometimes (okayed by us) - which is not only great outdoor time for Belle to walk with a buddy, but awesome socialization for her, too. - Easy to communicate with Marie & our walker; I love how easy the mobile app is to use. I use it all the time to communicate with our dog walker in case I left the lease in a weird spot in the apartment, or if there are maintenance people in our unit, etc. I've never waited longer than 30 minutes (or less!) without a response back. - Dog walk reports! This is my FAVORITE part. I get photos of Belle after her walk (literally what gets me through the work day!!!), as well as a report of where she got walked, if she pooped/peed/got a treat/ etc. It's a real peace of mind. THANK YOU THANK YOU! I don't know how life was before Marie & Kennedy. Two golden paws up!

I've been Jack's client for over a year now. I first met Jack when I just moved to Seattle from…read moreDallas and needed to find someone to take care of my English Springer Spaniel during the day while I was at work. Previously I worked close enough to come home to walk her, so it was my first experience with trying to find a regular dogwalker. I was very nervous because Malta has some leash aggression issues and can pull hard on the leash despite her deceivingly medium size. The first thing I noticed about Jack was how thorough, responsible, and detail-oriented he was. To become his client, we had an hour long meeting (with paperwork!!) where we went over my needs and his requirements. It quickly became apparent that Jack would have an even higher bar for the comfort and safety of my dog than even I do. In the year since, Jack and his team have supported me through the addition of a 2nd dog to the household, ad-hoc schedule changes (both last minute requests to add a walk or to cancel one if I was suddenly out later than expected or got sick and stayed to work from home), and even a couple of overnight stays when I went out of town. The peace of mind I get from having the same few trusted people that my dogs know and love take care of my dogs is hard to overestimate. Many thanks to Jack, Kerry, and the rest of the team!

Jack and his team have been an invaluable addition to our family!

Jack is the most responsible care giver we've ever worked with. Beyond his personal professionalism, care and love for our two nuggets, he provides an in-depth training of any team member entrusted with their care. Both dogs take medication and, given the age disparity, the team was able to coordinate our slow and steady older pup with our high energy heart murmur gal. Most importantly, the dogs run to greet them. They are loved and love Jack and his team!
