We'd never had him in daycare so I had a lot of questions and hesitation but they were prompt to respond each time. Our pup ended up having a great time with no issues with the other dogs. The two men we met that are in charge of overseeing the dogs were informative as well as understanding my nervousness about leaving him for the first time. There was ample paperwork to fill out but that proved they are cautious and fulfilling their responsibilities given their good reputation. It went so well we took him back a second day. They are a good 15 mins. off the beaten road in a very rural location but was worth the drive. Would definitely use them again if in that area.

They worry about what grade their dog will score on the "report card." My little Bichon didn't make the cut. She was a puppy and didn't have a nap before her 3rd interview (3 interviews?) It just strikes me as odd, that a full grown human being that works there, standing in a bin with 3 or 4 dogs could not handle a playful pup. I was called within 15 minutes to pick her up. I find it so odd that it's funny. People laugh. The veterinarian laughed! However, what disturbs me most to this day, when they handed her over to me, she was dripping wet and shaking. They must have kept her out in the rain until I got there. Anyway, they said I could bring her back when she's older. No, I think not.

We are VERY particular about where we leave our dogs when we travel. After looking around at the…read morevarious options in the area we were referred to Dog Townsend by a woman who runs one of the pet food stores. The couple who owns and operates this place is from New York and they have a real love for dogs and a special understanding of how to create a safe, fun and harmonious environment for groups of dogs. In essence it's like a dog park but with a large staff making sure every one plays nice and has a good time. We have left our boys there twice now, the first time for a few days and the second for 16. Both times they have come home tired and happy and pretty stress free. The second time we took them they couldn't wait to get out of the car and go play - it was clear that they have good associations with Dog Townsend and that's what I like to see when I am entrusting them to someone else. In addition to structured play times they offer special little services, like massages and dedicated fetch sessions and nature walks. They'll also clean Fido up if you order the shampoo service. This is helpful! I also love the little daily reports that they fill out so you get a sense of what your little guys have been up to. The staff is across the board nice, warm and truly interested in the dogs. Nice feeling there. Beautiful flock of exotic chickens running around, too. My dogs love watching them. Place is very clean and the play space is a large covered outdoor area that they separate into different playgrounds. They group dogs according to "play tastes". Smaller dogs can be grouped together and over time they figure out who plays well with whom. It's a healthy and fun environment for all the dogs. And the place is just really beautiful. Really a great option for people who love their dogs.

Claudia's home is on a quiet street in Port Townsend. A generous yard has sturdy fencing. Dogs are really her guests. The home is filled with toys and dog beds, but dogs have free access to beds and other furniture. They get several walks a day, and (if you like) photo updates come throughout the stay. When we picked up our high energy 13-month-old Northwest Farm Terrier, Marley, was relaxed and clearly at home. It's revealing that after our initial visit to get to know one-another, Marley would whimper and pull at her leash TOWARD Happy Paws. She loves it! Claudia has made a point of studying dogs. She believes only in positive re-enforcement, and makes it clear that this is a resort for dogs, not a training kennel. A look at her website reveals so much about her approach and philosophy toward companion animals. We will certainly return, secure in the knowledge that Marley will be happy and well cared for. My only reservation in writing this review is that she will become too popular. We'd like to keep Happy Paws for ourselves!

Beautiful place and a very kind lady!

I am coming from out of town with my small mutt and need a place to care for her during the day. I was asked what type of dog she was and as soon as I mentioned that she was 12% German Shepherd, I was told they wouldn't take her. End of discussion. I was stunned. When I tried to continue the conversation, maybe just to ask if she had a recommendation, the woman was short, rude and I was essentially hung up on.

Because I live a bit distant from Chimacum, I always stay and wait. I can't help but chuckle looking at my dog giving me the "stink eye" for putting her through such insult as a bath! Dawn handles her very well and with such ease that it's really not worth it for me to battle with my dog in the shower. It is wonderful to feel her fur when she's all clean and smelling great! The prices are reasonable. Dawn is very nice and so is the receptionist. The place is not fancy, but it is clean. If I ever had to leave my dog in their kennels, I would not hesitate. I recommend The Dog and I.

Why would you put your dog at a kennel type place if you have or had this option. My dog is practically like family to Cindy now. It's honestly invaluable what she provides. My dog is never in a crate, and gets to hang with Cindy and her family, go out back and check out the chickens and other animals, he's not locked up in a cage for 20 of 24 hours a day. I get the overnight kennel places probably not having the man power to pay one on one attention to those dogs, but it's just that your dog is going from free reign of your own home to being in a kennel for hours at a time. It's a huge adjustment and difference. With Cindy, they're going from your home, to a home. She gives you updates too on how your dog is doing and sometimes even sends off photos too. I recommend Cindy to any & everyone who's in need for a dog sitter.

Cindy even stayed in Sacramento for several hours until I could get there. Cindy made it possible for my beloved Murray to get the best medical care and I am forever grateful. She sent me a video of Murray, which I cherish. Thank you, Cindy, your kindness, generosity of spirit and integrity are treasures; thank you for caring about my Murray as if she were your own.
