My family has been using HikePups for over four years and we are 100% thrilled and satisfied with…read morethe services they provide. Our dogs love Barbara and we consider her an integral part of our family. More than anything HikePups provides peace of mind when my wife and I are on the road working. We've had over half a dozen pet sitters over the last 25 years and no other pet sitting service has provided better service than Barbara and hikepups. Our dogs not only love the in-home service but also enjoy being boarded at the Hikepups house in Gig Harbor. It's really like Disneyland for dogs as there are many different areas of the house to explore and play. Dependable, reliable and reasonable cost are all words I would use to describe HikePups. I recommend HikePups without hesitation.

She was prompt, reliable, and caring, pet sitting this weekend. I was continuously getting updates on my dogs situation since it was the first time he was not boarded in a kennel.

All in all, wasn't too impressed.. but was trying not to judge too harshly due to our past horrible…read moreexperiences with WNDP. In the 2 months we used this place, we probably used daycare/boarding 6-7 times. We told the staff upfront that due to past trauma, he's a bit scared and does not like to be picked up at all. They told me they understood and it was all good, every dog is different. It wasn't a problem. Because other than that, he's super friendly. Every time I picked him up after daycare or boarding, they'd tell me he did great, he's so friendly, he loves running around with certain dogs, etc etc. I trusted them, obviously. The next time we left him at daycare, we picked him up and were told that he snapped a staff member, later to find out, she didn't read his file and tried to pick him up. And then I was penalized for that and given a warning... even though I let them know up front that they cannot do that because he is scared... A week or so later, we drop him off again for daycare one more time, he comes home with an eye infection. Which cost us $80 for medication to fix. We haven't taken him back since. Yesterday I received a message from a former employee there, saying she knows first hand that they do not like my dog and deemed him aggressive and had him in a cage most of the day instead of socializing. My heart completely sunk. I was being told (other than that one day) that he was great and they loved him and he played all day long. If I knew they felt that way about my dog, I wouldn't have brought him there. They just lied to my face. Who does that? I definitely don't trust these people. Wouldn't go back. Beware.

My dog ​​is very timid. With that in mind, I took him to a doggy daycare for the day. As I…read moreexpected, he stayed in the corner of the room alone, without interacting with other dogs. The second time I took him, I had access to the cameras in the room, and the same thing happened, which was fine. It will probably take some time for him to get used to it. My point is that during the 5 hours my dog ​​was there, I didn't see any employees in the room interacting with the dogs or taking care of them. I also didn't see any toys for the dogs. All the dogs were lying down, seemingly bored. At dinnertime, they took my dog ​​to an individual room with food and water. My dog ​​didn't eat or drink. I think there should be an employee with the dogs at all times, and especially for new and timid dogs like mine, they should give them a little more attention.

Best Friend Forever K9 is hands down the best doggy daycare we could ask for! From day one, the…read morestaff has been incredibly friendly, caring, and professional. It's obvious they truly love dogs and treat every pup like part of their own family. Our dog gets so excited every time we pull into the parking lot, which says everything about how much they love being there. They come home happy, tired, and well cared for after a full day of play and attention. The facility is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and it's clear that the team goes above and beyond to make sure every dog has a great experience. The peace of mind that comes from knowing our dog is in such loving, capable hands is priceless. Best Friend Forever K9 has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. Thank you for everything you do!

So glad we found Bayside Animal Lodge! We just moved to WA a few months ago and our Rotties were…read morestressed out and hadn't been comfortable with their surroundings in the two months we'd been here already. We looked at a few doggy lodges and felt that Bayside was a nice place and the staff were playful with our dogs. Not only that, they were very clean and the facility did not smell (very important!). Also, their prices are fair compared to other places that we've seen or tried. Since we found Bayside, our pups have been visiting every 2-3 weeks and they love it every time! Even during the COVID restrictions, Bayside was there for them. Our Rotties love to socialize and going to Bayside provides the environment we want for them. The staff is warm and welcoming and we can tell how much they enjoy having our giant spoiled Rotties there. We've used their grooming services and their groomers do a great job and provide a report afterwards on their condition and needs. Love that! After doggy vamp, our pups come home like dead weights. They barely make it to bed because they had oodles of fun at Bayside!

This will probably end up in the "not recommended" review because that seems to be where all the…read moregood reviews are.. but I will try anyways. I've never boarded my dogs before and was very worried. I have one husky mix with separation anxiety and the other is dog aggresive to strange dogs. Dog sitters were not an option and I couldn't stick my dogs in a kennel. I don't exactly remember how I stumbled on Peninsula Pet Lodge, but I saw the suites and contacted them via email to see if they would take my "special needs dogs." They said the Gig Harbor location would be the best bet with the suites. When time got closer to book, Joie contacted me via email that Olalla would be the better location now that they have suites and are better prepared for dogs with needs. We toured the facility and booked it. Today while trying to see if they accepted checks before I picked up my boys I saw all the negative yelp reviews and got worried. (I did not see the "not recommended" positive reviews.) When I got there the woman at the desk was great, she went into detail about my boys stay including that they tested my aggresive dog in a small group and he did great. The one dog was actually upset to leave and pouted in the car. I couldn't have been more relieved to see my dogs geninuly happy. The only thing that I am taking off 1 star for is when I dropped my dogs off the woman asked a coworker to bring my dogs to the porch while they cleaned the suite, and when I went back with the one dog while she had the other, the woman bringing them back started screaming at my 2 year old that she couldn't come past a certain point. My 2 year old went into a panic for me and thw woman screamed more at her because she didn't know if the other (caged) dog was child friendly. Which wasn't relevant because my daughter didn't even care about the dog, only being next to me. My daughter is only 2, she was confused and scared why a stranger is telling her that she can't be with her mom. My daughter has been taught never to touch strange dogs, which I understand the lady doesn't know that, but she didn't hand it well and that made me lose it on her.

I walked in and the place smelled terrible. The facility is very worn and dirty. The single staff member, Melody, was the only good thing in the whole situation. Facility was grossly understaffed, and management was rude to her when she required information or corrections to accounting. Picked dogs up and our Boston Terrier had bloody diarrhea. They made no note of this and did not mention it. Took her to the vet and was diagnosed with a parasite. Emailed the owners and facility to advise and request reimbursement. Radio silence from them. DO NOT BOARD HERE!
