We looked at several pet sitting services when we moved to Puyallup, but Heather, owner and…read moreoperator of It's a Paws Life, was by far my favorite. She clearly has a passion for animals, evident in the way she interacts with every pet, and her past experience. From the first time we met and she came to our home to familiarize herself with our pets and their routines and medications, I was impressed with her attention to detail and her ability to connect with our animals. Every day she comes to care for them we receive an update text and picture of each one, assuring us that she has eyes on everyone and they're all doing well! It's such a relief to leave for vacation knowing that our fur babies are in such loving and capable hands. Heather administers medications, keeps an eye on any changes in behavior or bodily functions, and is a joy to work with.

If you're in a position with the type of dogs that you feel you're "stuck" at home with due to…read moreaggression issues, or have guard dogs at home that you're unable to leave in the care of someone else, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! I have 2 Cane Corso's. One is trained in protection work and is with me almost everywhere I go on the daily. My other Corso was adopted from an abusive situation and has trust issues. NO WAY am I willing to leave these dogs in the care of a sitter or a family member as this would not be responsible not only to my dogs, but to the public as well. I first heard about Country Kennels from my trainer and later from a K9 handler from a local PD unit. I was THRILLED to learn that they have "hands off" options in high secured, indoor/outdoor kennel spaces available for high drive and working dogs that are not easily handled by strangers. For the first time in a few years, my husband and I were not only able to take a vacation, but we were able to go somewhere without having to load the dogs up and take them along. IT WAS SOOO NICE knowing Country Kennels was there to keep our animals safe and contained while we were away! This was about 3 years ago now and we have used them several times over the past few years with NO issues! Booking is super simple and prices are straightforward. You have options of kenneling your pets together in one run or putting them in separate runs, and they even have indoor spaces for the little ones, offering a hands on, more attentive approach. I'm able to load up my dogs diet, any medications, blankets or bedding, toys and snacks and drop them off at any desired time within operating hours. I always know my dogs are safe and well cared for with Country Kennels and suggest this business to ALL my working dog friends!

We usually pay them in advance using Zelle although they have other payment arrangements. They refill the water fountain and the automatic cat feeder and cleaned the litter box before we bought a Litter Robot. They are familiar with this machine and know how to change the catch bag in the tray. One of our cats requires a medication and they take care of that as well. We used to live less than 1/4 mile from their home but in April 2023, we moved to Des Moines, WA. That was still within their coverage area so they continue to help us. Very satisfied.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

Linn owns two places side by side. The dogs have a dog run in the center of the house. They can spend all day running back and forth between the houses. This is a very secure area. Your dog(s) spend the night uncaged in the house. They find their own spot to rest. Linn is alway there looking after the pets. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other places. I was very impressed on my first visit. Everything is so clean and well maintained. If you don't believe me, call her up and set up an appointment to visit her place. She has the credentials to back her experience. She is a member of: PSI Certified Professional Pet Sitter and a Member of the National Association of Pet Sitters. She is certified in Animal First Aid & CPR. She is also Bonded & Insuried.

My dogs are usually with me all the time and I am very hesitant to leave them anywhere without giving two hours worth of instructions. Yes, I'm THAT kind of pet parent. Anyways, I stopped by to check out Linn's place before I took my dogs there and it seemed like a great place and all the dogs seemed happy to be there. She showed me around all the areas that the dogs would be in and I liked that it was very much a home environment, instead of doggie daycares that seem very sterile and not like home. It really is like a little dog adventure land that they can explore the many yards and decks and different areas. After the first night I left my dogs there, I ended up staying longer than expected and having my dogs stay there on five different occasions, one that lasted 4 nights. Each time I felt more and more comfortable and really left my dogs knowing they were in good hands and when I dropped them off and picked them up they were happy -- not scared, anxious or hesitant at all. This is something, especially for my newest dog we rescued from an abusive home just four months ago and he is very timid around most people and new environments. There are also cameras you can check on your pets on, although I never downloaded the app or website. That's how comfortable I was, I didn't feel I needed to check on them. Although I appreciated the picture and video updates that Linn sent me! The price is quite reasonable, but don't forget to leave a little extra if you really appreciate the care your pets have gotten, because she works really hard for the little she charges. Especially with my dogs, I know they're a handful! She is also willing to work with you on pickup and drop-off times and she ensures you are the only person dropping off so it is easy for all involved. The extra gates also give peace of mind your dogs won't escape on accident or if they're looking for an adventure, as mine oftentimes do. Linn really has thought of everything here, and my dogs enjoy staying overnight and playing with all of the other dogs who come here. I just wish I could find a place like this in California, but I'll be back next time I'm in town and know that I can leave my dogs safely while I'm away.

I genuinely try to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume everyone is doing their best. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I feel like I need to say something. This is not our first visit. Our dog Goose has been here several times, and today was our puppy Maple's first visit. When I walked in this morning, there was no warm greeting or even a simple hello. The first things said to me by the groomers were, "Do you not get our texts?" and "We need you to be on time. We run a tight schedule." I walked in at 11:05. We are coming from Port Orchard, and when I received the text asking me to bring the dogs in earlier at 10:20, I was already on the road heading there. I understand that being on time is important, but the attitude I was met with immediately was completely unnecessary and set the tone for the entire visit. During the consultation, I explained what I wanted for both dogs. Because I was apparently considered late, I told Danielle that if she didn't have time to give Goose a full haircut, I at least wanted his face, eyes, and chin trimmed and for her to do whatever she could with the time available. Maple's groomer (will call her the lady with purple hair) asked if this was her first visit and I explained that it was and that she is about 6-7 months old. She then told me that I should have gotten her in much sooner for haircuts and to get her used to grooming. I explained that we had actually been cancelled on multiple times by them and that I booked her as soon as she had all of her vaccinations. I wasn't going to argue with her, but I found the comment unnecessary and condescending. I completely understand that a puppy's first grooming experience may need to be shorter depending on how they handle it. What I don't understand is the attitude surrounding it. Our puppy desperately needed a haircut, and I was never upset about them taking things slowly with her. I was upset by the way the entire situation was communicated. When I came back to pick them up, the attitude from both groomers continued. I was told the dogs were "a handful" and reminded again that I needed to be on time. What makes this even more frustrating is that I dropped them off around 11:00 and both dogs were ready to be picked up around 11:45. I was expecting full haircuts and baths, yet neither dog had much of a haircut at all. I'm not upset about Maple not receiving a full haircut because I understand she is a puppy and it was her first visit. However, Goose has been here multiple times, and he didn't even have the areas trimmed that I specifically asked for, including underneath his chin and around his eyes and head. I was also basically told by Danielle that Goose had "one last chance." Maple's groomer also spoke to me as though I didn't know my own dog, telling me that Maple has dew claws and that I need to play with her face and paws more. We do this regularly at home, so again, the way the information was communicated felt unnecessary and condescending. Then there were the charges. PART 2 & 3 in attached photos.
