This indoor dog park is for dogs 40lbs or smaller only. I like that they have cognitive activities for the dogs and the pups get outdoor walks included in their stay too. They also have easy food drop offs bin. Just write your dogs name on their food bag. I noticed little refrigerators under the front desk area so you definitely can bring food other than kibbles that need refrigeration. The staff are also very friendly and cheery and this makes me feel happy that my dog will be in good care. Each day camp comes with a report card at the end of the day of what your dog did and sometimes there are photos of your dog with their new dog friends or on their walks. Super cute and makes me happy!!

Do not go to Seattle Canine Club - below is our experience that I posted on Google…read more "We had our dogs boarded at Seattle Canine Club on 4th Ave for a long weekend. We are new to the area, and have not yet met friends we can trust to care for our pups. After research, we decided to board them with Seattle Canine Club. They hadn't been boarded before (they were watched by family back home). We paid approximately $500 for both our 6yo mutt and our 2yo labradoodle to stay. Prior to having them boarded, we took them for a day of doggy daycare to make sure they were well acclimated. Based on the initial visit (5h play day) and the reviews, we thought this was a safe place for our dogs to spend the weekend. Unfortunately, it was not. We understand that they do not receive the same attention as they would at home as the staff is caring for multiple pets, but what occurred was essentially animal abuse. Our labradoodle, Luka, gets frequent ear infections due to hair buildup and moisture (common in doodle breads). We sent him with ear cleaner (twice per day, must be wiped out of the ear) and an ear medication to prevent bacterial growth or yeast. We had also ensured that his ears were plucked, cleaned, and dried before dropping him off. We also provided three copies of written instructions as well as verbal instructions to care staff. Upon pickup on Sunday, we looked inside Luka's ears to find that he had chemical burns inside his ear as well as on the outside of his ear - a sign that the ear cleaner and medication were not wiped out of his ear after being applied. Further more, Luka was covered in pee - his paws, his hip area, and his belly. I am not sure if this was his own pee, or pee from another dog, but he was not dropped off on Thursday covered in urine. We understand that dogs may accidentally pee on themselves (or each other) but AT A MINIMUM send the dog home at least rinsed off. Upon bathing him, the water was absolutely filthy. Had the staff called us and let us know that he was covered in urine and offered to wash/groom him - we would have paid any expense. However, no call was made. Not about his ears, and certainly not about the urine he was covered in. My other dog, Meeko, is on doggie prozac for anxiety. Upon drop-off, we provided them with 4 pills and instructions to give him one pill per day (only Friday and Saturday since we were picking up on Sunday and had given him Thursday's). Upon pickup, there were still 4 pills in the container. This means that he was without his medicine Friday and Saturday, and Prozac is something that needs to build up in their system to work. Additionally, we received one photo of each dog for the entire weekend (which I had to request). Seattle Canine Club provided absolutely atrocious care for our two dogs, and we will never visit this establishment again. Additionally, we will be sure to let everyone know about the animal abuse that occurs when you think you are leaving your pets at a 'safe' location."

On May 7, I scheduled Pepper's first grooming appointment. We were especially excited because the…read morelocation is very close to my home. We booked a grooming service and were clear with the front desk about our expectations. We selected a tier 3 shortness level haircut and explicitly requested her entire body to be trimmed -- including her head, face, and a lion-style tail (fluffy end, trimmed shaft). Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. Upon pickup, Pepper shook her body and an excessive amount of loose hair fell off, which indicated she was not brushed thoroughly after the cut. In addition, the specific areas we highlighted were not properly groomed, and the cut across her body is noticeably uneven. I have attached photos for your reference. While I understand this was her first appointment and the groomer was seeing her for the first time, I want to make it clear that Pepper is a very calm and cooperative dog who is easy to groom. There should not have been any behavioral challenges affecting the outcome. Given the quality of the grooming service provided, we do not believe the results reflect the price we paid. We requested a discount or partial refund for the visit, and have not heard from anyone. We followed up two more times and still nothing. We hope this feedback can be used to improve quality control and communication in the future. We will not be back again.

He seemed comfortable with them immediately. Plus I gave them a rundown about his needs and about how to use our house. When we left for the weekend, they assured us they had everything in hand to make Spud (our dog) comfortable. They definitely did. We even received occasional pictures of Spud and updates. When we arrived home, he looked so relaxed and well-tended. The house looked great too! I almost hesitate posting this review because we want to keep Seattle Sidekicks for ourselves. It's so lovely to know we can leave for awhile and our dog and house have two animal-loving, responsible and respectful women tending to things. Couldn't be happier!

Julia is just the best. I've used her as a cat sitter several times in the past and always been…read moresuper happy with her services. She sends me lots of pictures of my Rocky and Coco when she visits which gives me a lot of peace of mind. She also understands that my Coco likes to hide under the bedsheets (see picture, lol) and she doesn't try to get her to come out. She even leaves boxes out for Rocky when he needs to be entertained and plays music for them, too. Last week I had to leave town for a family emergency and only had a few hours to reach out to Julia. Nonetheless, she was available and took great care of my cats even when I had no idea how long I would be gone. It's really special having a cat sitter in an emergency you know and trust. I can't recommend Julia enough.
