It is so evident that Lori cares for her clients as if they were her own pups. She is truly missed!

She came across as friendly and knowledgeable so I took her word that she was license and bonded. I gave a key to my house and figured things would be all good. Was I WRONG. I followed up with an e-mail shortly thereafter to get her License and Bond information for my records. No response. Tried another e-mail, no response. Decided to call and find out what was up, no call back. Another call, to get my key back and cancel services - no response. Ended up changing the locks on my house as a precaution.

She has ALWAYS been available to pet sit, responds very quickly to texts and emails, and has been very attentive to our pets. On a recent, much longer trip out of the country, one of our cats escaped THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR 4 AM INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT. I told Melissa not to worry about trying to find him, but she went above and beyond, canvassing the neighbors, offering to make and post signs, leaving food and water out, searching for this darn escaped cat. She was very concerned and kept in touch with me via email the whole time. The cat DID come back (after we returned, and he was fine), but the point is, Melissa came through in a tough situation. I trust her and would (and have) recommended her!

My experience was mediocre and I wanted to share that. Pros: Scheduling/billing is really easy. Fun notes & photos. Prompt responses to inquiries. Cons: Not very attentive. Not very punctual/reliable (one time she was late almost for an hour, which is a lot for a puppy's scheduled potty time).

When I received their first email telling us that they were taking over Rover I told them NOT to put me in their database & told them it felt like it was damaging trust that they would do this anyways. Since then I have continued to receive emails from them. Fast forward to now, when I decide I will at least inquire into their services...only to I find out they don't even offer overnight stays for cats, only dogs. How discriminatory against cats. What, like cats couldn't possibly need extra in home attention? This is such a common misperception about cats & I am surprised that any company catering to "pets" would allow themselves to buy into that BS.

Seamus runs to the gate delighted to go on his adventures. And comes back exhausted and happy. I found Kevin by bringing Seamus to the park myself and marveled at his skill in managing all the dogs in his pack. I have such respect for him and comfort in knowing his dog management acumen helps train our dog. The cost is well worth the benefit. During Covid I increased visits to the park to give myself a break and get Seamus the right level of stimuli so I could focus on working at home. If you are looking for a good service in north Seattle Ballard/Greenwood area I highly recommended High 5.

If I could leave negative stars, I honestly would. Our experience at Metro Dog was deeply…read moreupsetting, and after several months of taking my dog here on and off (at times, every day) I can confidently say we will never return. Several times after attending daycare, my dog came home with issues that later turned into infections. Each time required a vet visit that cost us over $600. While I understand that things can happen in group-care environments, having this happen several times was alarming. What ultimately made the decision for us, though, was the staff interaction. On one pickup, an older woman who helped me was shockingly rude. When she brought my dog out, she handled him in a way that made me extremely uncomfortable: raising her voice, tugging harshly on his collar, and giving commands he was never trained to understand. Watching him shrink back and look terrified broke my heart. Over time, he began coming home withdrawn, low-energy, sick and just not his happy self. Almost every visit left us feeling uneasy, and it eventually became clear that this environment simply wasn't right for him or any dog. A former staff member who later met my partner even shared that the workplace was full of animosity and overworked employees, which unfortunately aligned with what we had observed. We've since switched to Rover as needed and have had a completely different experience: much happier dog, much better communication, and far less stress for everyone involved. There are countless options here in Seattle! I truly wish our experience at Metro Dog had been better, but for us it was consistently unpleasant. If you value your dog's comfort and emotional wellbeing, I'd recommend exploring other options.

I've had dogs my whole life but I now have a dog that has long, easily matted fur for the first time ever. The very first time I brought her to Citydog, Brooke told me many good practices to keep her mat free between grooms. I've been back to her countless times and she always does a great job. It's the reality of all long haired dogs that they need to be combed and brushed daily at home. Although I don't do a great job of keeping up with this maintenance between grooms, I'm so grateful I can trust Brooke to help reset my dog's fur whenever I come in. She always does exactly what I ask for and tells me which areas I need to pay more attention to when I'm brushing her at home based on where the most of her mats were. I used to live in Ballard but moved away about 2 years ago and haven't been able to find a groomer who does as good of a job as Brooke.

I have boarded my dog here several times and each time he has come back very dirty and urine…read moresoaked. I had to immediately take him to the bath and let me tell you the water was disgusting. This place charges very high boarding fees, charges extra $15 a night for blocks of holiday days, charges an additional $65 if you pick the dog up after lunch time. You may end up paying $180 to board your dog for 1 night so beware. This price does not include walks, the dogs all pee inside in the play pen. For the outrageous fees, you would expect more. It's so unsanitary. I will never again book this place for my puppy. I don't see how they stay in business. The grooming is abosultely terrible. It's shocking, and for the price you pay you would expect it to look semi professional. Each time the dog was shaved down despite asking for poodle cut. I am done with this place, I only went back for convenience but never again. They need some new management, re-evaluate their fee structure or actually hire some people. Greedy owners will do theirselves in.
