Wanda after shower on the daycare

Klub K9 is a wonderful place for my dog Wanda and she absolutely loves it, daycare or boarding

Chris T.

Have been taking our boy Arthur to Klub K9 for years and it's about time we wrote a review. Arthur loves coming to daycare or boarding when we can't take him on out of town adventures. The love and recognition that he's always welcomed with definitely help make us more comfortable dropping him off. And he's definitely comfortable there, getting excited as soon as we turn on to the street and ready to run in as soon as I take his leash off. The team is friendly and really loves the dogs. When our child was born they even met up with us early in the AM to accommodate a drop off for Arthur.

I started reading the horrible reviews for Klub K9 while using the webcam to check on my Bichon Frise, Teo, and I feel compelled to leave another perspective. Teo loves this place and the staff love him. He is so excited in the car when he realizes where he is that he cries for joy (so loud that the staff inside can hear him). We all laugh when I bring him in because he jumps out of my arms and makes a b-line to the playroom door without even a glance back. This morning he barked at the staff because they weren't opening the door fast enough. He loves this place. He has been going to daycare 2-3 times a week for the last couple of years, and has been boarded a few times too. He comes home stinky but that is the price you pay for allowing your dog to enjoy himself playing with other dogs. The staff here are very good about cleaning up messes. In fact, just after this picture was taken, Teo was sniffing at a puddle of pee. Within moments, a staff member with a bucket and mop showed up and wiped it up. While we were traveling, we took Teo to a groomer in Seattle that was attached to a doggie daycare. The facility was half the size of KK9, and I swear, there was more poop on the floor than dogs running around. It was disgusting. Poor dogs couldn't take two steps without running into another pile of poop. It was eye opening and makes me appreciate the staff here at KK9 even more. As for the dog trainer, I have never met him. However, I do know there are two approaches to dog training. One uses positive reinforcement (treats) and the other uses dominance (the dog should do what you want them to do because you are the master). Police dogs are trained using the latter method and it can seem cruel. But, it also insures the dog will do exactly what they are told when they are told it. The positive reinforcement method allows the dog to decide if they want the treat more than continuing what they are doing. The goal is the behavior will become a habit over time and the dog will forget about the other possibilities and do what you want without thinking about it. We use the positive reinforcement method with Teo and he obeys for a couple of months, and then he just stops listening. The good thing about Teo is that he is a 12 pound Bichon who loves everyone. We don't have to worry about anyone getting hurt if he doesn't listen. We just have to worry about his safety.

A tired Muffin

Klub K9 is awesome! My dog is always excited when I drop her off and tired when I pick her up. I trust them to take good care of her. They even have cameras, so I can see which dogs she's playing with.

Klub K9 is a place you should think about sending your fur babies here. These pictures have been bothering me for awhile and I think I should give a review about it. I have heard a lot from my fellow colleagues and not good things either. None of these pictures are professional at all. I came in on a Saturday and I thought they opened up at 7 but they open at 8. As I walked in no one was around but the door was unlocked so anyone can come in and that is not good either. I see this poor old dog just laying in his pee and poop around him and I felt so sorry for this dog! How can you as a human being leave him like that. On a another note why do they have alcohol beverages laying around like that and in the lobby restroom so clients can see. Months ago I have smelled a strong alcohol smell coming from the 2 big white girls that was in the office before and I didnt think of anything at first but this explains why. They are very unprofessional and shouldn't be smelling like that while working. I feel like this place has gotten worse since Charles left. Need new professional people to be in the office! Klub K9 is going to lose a lot of business because of them.

Understaffed. They don't care for the pets. We had to pick up our friend's pet from there who was in bad condition and take him to the vet.

When I used this service: March 1-5 Why I chose Bowser's: I…read moredid 1-2 hours of research: Yelp reviews, calling friends from the dog park/other contacts, etc., and Kim always came highly recommended. Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

She took our sweet, shy, overly anxious little pup and made him feel at home within a short son of three weeks (2-3 times exposure for day care) before we let him stay overnight. She has been a godsend and I know that I can rest easy when our little fur baby is in her good hands.

I can't recommend Laurie's pet sitting (PetsitterGirl) highly enough!…read more I first met Laurie in 2012 when I had two kittens that needed pet sitting. I was traveling for work quite a bit at that time. One of my goals for my cats was that they should be as well adjusted, outgoing, confident and social as they could be. I feel like Laurie has always understood this and I really appreciate that. Laurie has always gone above and beyond to make sure that my cats have fun, eat their food and get the attention they need. When I get home after Laurie has been cat sitting, my cats are excited to see me but they are calm and not stressed. When my cats were younger, one of them broke his leg and needed knee surgery. (I guess he was a little too confident!) Laurie ensured he still received petting and played within his abilities even though he had to be confined to a large crate to recuperation. This past fall I had my refrigerator replaced. On one of Laurie's visits she arrived to find a hose from behind the refrigerator spewing water at full force! Laurie texted/emailed me right away. Even though I was on a plane and couldn't immediately respond, she took action. By the time my flight landed, the water had been turned off, the water had been mopped and toweled up and the situation was as resolved as it could get until I reached home. I was extremely grateful as we had also just had a new wood floor installed. The water damage could have been very costly. I also want to add a summary of the experience my parents have had. They have an elderly kitty (17 years) who is receiving fluids 3 times per week. When we all went on vacation together, Laurie made sure that my parents' senior cat made it to his vet to get fluids.

This is a review for Jennifer. Our initial get-to-know-you meeting went well, and she was prompt in…read moreemailing me her references. I thought we were all set for going away, but then she emails to say that she's changed her mind -- she's not comfortable with pet sitting for us since our cat is elderly, and she can't be sure about any potential health problems. Jennifer is not bonded and insured, so I understand her position. However, it left us scrambling for other pet sitting options.

Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.

My husband and I are so grateful we came across Dogs in Harmony and Shanni (shoutout to our friend…read morefor the rec!). We rescued a nervous jindo mix puppy last July who turned out to have several behavioral issues (fear barking at strangers at home/outside, reactivity to dogs, anxiety around dog dad, not engaging on walks) we didn't anticipate, and we were desperate to get some help. Given our pup's tendency to get very nervous, we needed a trainer who understood her needs and was willing to work at her pace. And Shanni was that exact trainer we needed -- she recommended 1:1 training lessons specifically tailored around our dog's threshold, and we learned how to identify body language and types of barks (i.e. fear barking, demand barking). She equipped us with all of the tools to continue working with our dog after our lessons finished. We didn't think leash manners would even be possible, but our dog now is so engaged and attentive on walks! Really could go on and on here, but long story short, if you're looking for a trainer who truly understands your dog's and your needs, equips you with the right tools to continue training beyond lessons, works at your dog's pace, we highly recommend working with Shanni.

Dogs in Harmony saved my sanity and helped me develop a loving relationship with my puppy! I cannot…read morerecommend the entire staff at Dogs at Harmony enough, but especially Shanni and Brenna. As a first-time dog owner raising a puppy by myself, I was completely overwhelmed. The staff has been with me every step of the way, even helping me decide on a Portuguese Water Dog's temperament to best suit my active running lifestyle. My puppy Yumi, now 17 weeks old, has been through Harmony School from 9-12 weeks, which came with 4 group lessons, and 1 private instruction. She's still going to school once a week to help give me some much-needed relief, and I'm hoping to start private lessons soon after my travel plans. Shanni and Brenna were instrumental during those first brutal two weeks with Yumi. I had major puppy blues - stressed about making sure she was okay, stressed about accidents, and desperate to set her up for success. This stress, combined with virtually no sleep (taking Yumi out every 20 minutes when awake and sleeping near her the first few days to soothe her), was a recipe for doubt and regret. I was that pet parent who would call frantically about any diarrhea or accident, text essay-length questions, and send way too many videos and notes about the schedules and patterns I'd observe, obsess over, and worry about. This incredible team met every single concern with patience, understanding, and practical solutions. The first time I dropped Yumi off at school was the first time I'd taken a break in a week - it was much-needed relief that allowed me to reset and find a routine that worked for me. Instead of fighting against her nature and her age (she's just a toddler!), I learned to work with her and celebrate every victory. The resources and support I received have set both Yumi and myself up for success. Yumi has grown into a beautiful, confident, and sweet-natured pup. She's well socialized, sleeps through the night from 10-7am, tries her hardest to not jump when greeting others, and can now be left alone for 3-4 hours at a time, which has been huge. She's still a working dog with tons of energy, but Shanni has guided me through how to tire her out mentally via shaping, soft chews, increasing difficulty in fundamentals, and teaching me how to actually train my dog. Her guidance helped me learn to see Yumi for who she is instead of who I want her to be, and how to debug and break down behaviors to address instead of treating undesired ones as 'issues' (like barking, digging, or jumping on people). It's been such a joy and privilege raising Yumi, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without Shanni and her team - the true village supporting my single pet parenthood lifestyle. Their approach is holistic, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Highly recommend for both new and experienced dog owners!

It was my first time seeking a cat sitter, and I completely lucked out when Shawn got back to me right away (after I had sent inquiries to multiple parties). From the get-go, Shawn was responsive and professional. She promptly shared her business license info, insurance info, and references with me - which nobody else had bothered to do. And she was so warm when we met in person, for our initial meet-and-greet. It's clear that she loves the animals she cares for, coming from a fellow animal lover. My kitty warmed up to Shawn much faster than she normally warms up to anyone (?!) - a testament to her character, given that my kitty suffers from plenty of "stranger danger"! Shawn sent plenty of updates and photos, was always a text message away, and allowed us to enjoy our trip with zero worry. Kitty was completely relaxed when we came home, even though it was her first time being alone for multiple days. I'm so happy knowing that we can lean on Shawn for any future trips we take. I completely trust her with my fur-babies and my home.

I went on a 2 week vacation and she made sure my cat was doing well. Visited every day, petted and played with him, cleaned the litter, took out the trash, watered my plants, and updated me daily. She went above & beyond and even offered to buy more cat toys for my cat. She is also very transparent about costs, sent me her business license when asked and is a lovely person to talk to. Would definitely reccomend her.
