Connie is one of the kindest people I know. I met her in 2020 when I needed help with my…read moreseparation-anxiety ridden Bichon Hubie. I couldn't leave him in the house alone while at work because he would (literally) make himself sick with worry. Connie welcomed us as new clients and, as she is a generous, wonderful person, we became fast friends. She has steadily been there for me and my Hubie over the years. Weekdays, weekends, overnights, in a pinch at times with little notice... sending me cute pictures throughout the day of my boy, feeding him, giving him medicine when needed, taking him to the groomer, going on little walking adventures, giving him a little brush 'n fluff from time to time... I even moved back east and she still couldn't get rid of me! When I come back to Olympia periodically for my current job, I bring Hubie simply because I know he misses her. Connie has enriched both our lives and I'm so happy to call her a dear friend.

Definitely recommend!

Had posted a previous review but here is the update after talking to an attorney:…read more Disappointed by How We Were Treated We were long-time clients who genuinely tried to build a positive and respectful relationship with this business. We booked services well in advance, followed all procedures, and even purchased additional training services to show our support and trust. When we canceled a December trip more than a month in advance, we expected a full refund based on what we were told. That had been the case in previous contracts. Instead, we were told the deposit was non-refundable, and only 25% was returned. We were told that was final. Another 25% was refunded later, but only after we followed up again. There was no discussion or explanation. We made several respectful attempts to resolve the issue directly, but eventually our number was blocked, cutting off all communication. With communication being blocked off, we were left with no choice but to consult a lawyer to understand the situation. We've never been treated so poorly by a professional, and this situation has caused us and our family an incredible amount of stress, including one and possibly two hospitalizations. The lawyer said that what had happened was not technically legal, and definitely not ethical. In our opinion, the way French K9 runs her business is unethical, and we could NEVER recommend them to someone who is trying to do good by their pets. We're sharing this because we trusted this business and were extremely disappointed. We hope others ask clear questions, get all terms in writing, and proceed with caution.

We truly put effort into building a long-term, positive relationship with this business. We booked…read moreservices over a year in advance to fit into their system, and tried to remain flexible, patient, and communicative throughout. But when we canceled a December trip with more than a month's notice -- as allowed by the contract -- things quickly turned. We felt backed into a corner and accepted 25% of our deposit back simply because we were told that was all we could get. There was no formal or signed agreement. We later received another 25%, but this was done WITHOUT DISCUSSION and only after we followed up again. We made multiple respectful attempts to communicate and discuss the issue, but those efforts were ignored and my number was eventually blocked. That response, combined with rigid and shifting policies, made the whole situation feel dismissive and unfair. It's really disappointing, especially given how much trust and goodwill we offered.

It is very obvious how much she loves her job!

When Julie came over to our house to meet our family, we knew in the first 5 minutes that she was exactly what we were looking for. She has such a warm and caring personality. We loved how organized and professional she was. When the time came for her to watch Bubba, she sent us several cute email updates. She noticed that he is a social eater, so she came over to the house and had lunch with him one day! This really touched our hearts. We didn't know Julie before hiring her, but we now consider her a friend, and I know Bubba can't wait to see her again!

I brought her home she ate all of her food and went right back to sleep. That is a great day for a puppy. Since I was starting to look around Top Dog gave me all the information that I needed and even more I could tell that they were caring business. They made it very easy for me I did all my paperwork online faxed in my pet records made an appointment for a trial day and she loved it. We will be going there every Tuesday and Thursday for a while. I bought A package for 20 days so I don't have to worry about payment I just get to drop her off and pick her up. By the way I had an excellent day taking care of so many things you can't do when you have a puppy. Thank you Top Dog I have been going to Top Dog now for over 1 years. Jordon and her staff really go the extra mile. I see some old negative reviews from a long time ago that reflects the previous owner. Jordon is the owner and has the friendliest staff.

I have two young Siamese cats that have not had the option to be very social (they are scared of people other than me and my husband). Deanna took the time to come over twice to meet and interact with them before taking care of them while we were gone. These extra visits, at no charge, ensured that she and our boys were comfortable with each other enabling Deanna to care for them while we were gone. She did not want to accept the job without ensuring that our pets would be comfortable, happy and safe! While gone we received daily pictures and updates as to how the boys were doing. This helped us to not miss our "kids" so much. Deanna came daily and checked the house to make sure the boys were not getting into things that they shouldn't and that nothing was wrong in the house. It was a huge relief to have someone taking care of them and keeping an eye on the place. She also took the garbage out on garbage day and vacuumed up the litter around the boys' boxes! Deanna provides such an outstanding service; you can tell that she truly loves pets and her job. The value for having Deanna come to your home to care for your pets in their own environment is invaluable. Her fees are much better than boarding fees in the Oly/Lacey area and as I said your pet gets to stay in its own home! What could be better than that?!?! The only down side is that I think my boys miss her more than they missed me! :-) Honestly, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

She did an awesome job caring for them, and when I came home a day earlier than anticipated, their cage and the surrounding area were clean, and they had plenty of hay, pellets, and water even though she had not come by yet that day. Her rates are very reasonable, too! I highly recommend her no matter what kind of pet you need taken care of while you're away from home.
