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!

I have subsequently seem him at the dog park and notice that Chet prefers more laid back, chill dogs. Clearly, he does not want to take on a dog that may require more interaction. That is perfectly fine and within his right to do so, I do not fault for him that. I feel compelled to write a review because of Chet's interaction with my during our meet-and-greet. He seemed standoffish and put off with my request to - get this - TAKE OFF HIS SHOES IN MY HOME. He paused and looked at me like I was asking him something super absurd. He obliged but told me bluntly, "I don't have time to do that and it's going to be a problem". Is it that out of line to ask someone coming into my home to take off his shoes, especially knowing that his shoes obviously go to dirty parks? I have worked with various different walkers and I have never encountered such an off-putting encounter.

My beloved Mikey passed away and I was looking for the perfect place that provided cremation…read moreservices that met several of my criteria. It was actually pretty tough to find but I'm very very grateful to the Chambers Creek Pet Memorial Park team. I wanted to ensure people who were looking for the service in this area knew because it was a tremendous help to me and I'd also like to share my experience in the hopes that it helps. Specifically Pamela and Scott were so so kind and patient with us and it was much appreciated. I needed and was looking for, 1. Private, individual cremation with a system that assured us there would be no mix up - Yes, they ONLY do private cremations with metal ID tags they use once 2. Delivering our baby ourselves if possible - Yes 3. Viewing of our baby going in if possible - Yes, this was very unusual I only found one other place in Seattle that allows this 4. Waiting the duration of the cremation if possible - We could have but it's very long and not recommended, we did not end up doing this 5. Reasonable, timely return of our baby, NOT through the vet or the mail - One of the most important factors, the majority of places send the ashes to your vet or they MAIL to your home which is unimaginable. I would never put Mikey in the incompetent hands of USPS or whoever, I find this process despicable. The majority of places also take 3-10 days to return your beloved to you which again was unimaginable for me. Instead Chambers Creek allowed us to pick up in person from them directly and we did so in less than 24 hours. My husband found their website which was really helpful and I called the day before to confirm availability and pricing which was more than reasonable. The address that is listed on their website actually takes you to the main New Tacoma Cemetery which is for people but there is a smaller building attached to it with a little fire hydrant in front that is the pet section. They have a selection of urns/memorials/headstones/coffins if you'd like to choose one in their small office. We sat down with Pamela as she kindly filled out the forms for us, had me sign, and take care of payment. We were then introduced to Scott who we followed in our car to the cemetery/buildings across the street. They warned us the pet crematorium which is completely separate and pet specific had a warehouse feel just in case we were alarmed. It is like a warehouse but has American flags and a metal box that is the crematorium, the setting didn't bother me. Scott explained the process and we were allowed to gently place Mikey with his private ID marker so he wouldn't be mixed up with someone else by any chance. At any rate, this place generally only has one pet at a time so there's very little chance to begin with. Scott was very patient and respectful while our family was incredibly upset,we never felt rushed but rather impressed and at peace and we're grateful. We stayed until the main light came on, at 4.5 pounds they expected Mikey to be done in around 3 hours, it takes more time to cool and Scott to personally sweep up the ashes. He also asked if we'd like his ashes finely powdered or not and we asked for finely powered. I've been through this earlier this year with family and they treated Mikey just as respectfully as he were a beloved human. We were able to personally pick up Mikey from Scott in less than 24 hours and brought him home. We're waiting to purchase a personalized urn so we let them know it's OK that Mikey comes home in a bag to us as it's' a temporary arrangement and his baggy was tied with the ID tag that went in with him. Overall, I know I was picky and asked for a lot and am incredibly grateful to Pamela and Scott and this business for their kindness, patience, empathy, and accommodating nature. Mikey gave me the purest unconditional love that I'm sure I'll never experience again, for 16 marvelous years, and we were able to send him off on his final journey in the way we wanted and thought was the best for him. For this, I'll be eternally grateful to this team, I highly recommend them for pet cremation services.

Felinity Cat Care is not your typical cat groomer - they come to your home so your cat can stay as…read morecomfortable and low-stress as possible. I also really appreciate that they have you help during the process, which builds confidence and gives you skills you can use between visits. I've been having Beth come by 2-3 times a year since my long-haired baby boy was a kitten for baths and trims. He still doesn't love baths (because, cat), but he's noticeably calmer now and doesn't try to escape the sink like he used to. It honestly feels like he knows he's in good hands. Every time, he's incredibly soft and clean afterward, and the shedding dies down for a while too - a huge win. Thoughtful, patient, and clearly very good at what they do. Thank you Beth!

Wow! Wow wow wow wow!!…read more I've met some amazing, caring people in my life but Leah is in the top % Kind, considerate, gentle, warm, curious, reliable, patient, honest, an amazing communicator, she's proactive, beyond sweet and is a trusted advisor Not only did she go above and beyond (even that statement feels lack luster) and cared for my senior cat Lola with such love, care, tenderness, respect and love, she sent tons of resources, was a shoulder to cry on when I told her about the recent passing of my dog and we shared laughs and stories but let me take the lead on convo as I'm sure we could have sat through both appointments just talking about my cats care strictly (I'm chatty) Me and my cat and my wife felt so safe with her in our home. You'd think being stuck in a bathroom with a stranger, in a stressful scenario (mate removal) could be awkward but we were all so relaxed. Honestly she feels like a close friend! The environment she creates because of the person she is and the above and beyond care she provides When I say it was a gift to be in her presence I'm being so for real! Her pricing is beyond affordable and she's doing this work because she's a good person and has been a life long provider of living beings. We will be seeing Leah every 2-3 months for maintenance and will be referring everyone we know to them! She taught me so so much in the time I was with her and I know my cats life and health will improve. Leah and Beth you are amazing and I wish you only good things!! Thank you for being who you are. You work so hard and you are so so so appreciated

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.
