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!

Aubbie's an incredibly detail-oriented person who treats our cat Sushi with care and love. Some…read morereasons Aubbie's just the best: - She's almost inhumanly responsive. Thankfully we haven't had any emergencies, but even for ordinary communication about upcoming service, she usually gets back to me in minutes. - She leaves nothing to chance or uncertainty. She asks for a thorough profile on exactly how to care for Sushi, how to access our home, what to do in case of emergency, and more. She reads every word, asking for clarification or more details where needed. - Her online system and accompanying app is a very solid all-in-one place to message her, schedule services, enter relevant details, and pay bills. It's a nice change from janky text chains or Venmo requests. - She's willing and able to do things beyond ordinary pet-sitting. For example, Sushi receives daily subcutaneous fluids which involve a needle and IV bag. It took my partner and me a lot of practice to get that process down to a routine, and Aubbie picked it up quickly and does it expertly. And for all that, her pricing is very fair. I can't recommend her service enough. Hire her, you won't regret it!

I must have called a dozen places frantically trying to find a replacement. The owner of Lucky Paws, Susan, called me back quickly and said that while she was already booked, she would help me try to find a replacement. She then made a bunch of other calls to help me find a pet sitter on short notice. Despite the fact that I wasn't yet a customer, and that Susan was already booked, she went above and beyond to make sure I had someone to care for my pup. This speaks volumes about how much Lucky Pawz cares about its customers and dogs.

We have used Kirsten and her crew at Reining Cats and Dogs LLC many times and every single…read moreexperience has been excellent! Each time we travel, they care for our three cats, Max, Earl, and Sherman, and we always return to healthy, relaxed, and very happy kitties. Kirsten's attention to detail is outstanding. She keeps their food and water fresh, replaces the Litter Robot liners, takes out the garbage, and tidies up little messes so everything looks great when we get back. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing that not only are our pets in loving hands but our home is also being looked after. It is obvious Kirsten truly cares about animals and our cats clearly feel comfortable with her care. Coming home to calm, content cats after a trip is priceless. We highly recommend Reining Cats and Dogs LLC to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitting. They consistently go above and beyond!

To be honest, a lot of the magic is in the client wrangling. The product isn't so much "pet care" as "confidence that your pets are being thoughtfully and attentively cared for by someone that appreciates all their wonderful qualities." There's inherently a certain artifice to the detailed communication, the (high-quality!) photos of gamboling cats, and the kind observations. But boy, I ate it up, and I imagine most other people with pets would too. It's incredibly comforting to know that your animals are in good hands.

The caregivers have always been wonderful, especially more recently when we needed 3 walks in a day during our wedding. We needed someone trustworthy so we wouldn't have to worry about whether there was an issue on a day when neither of us would be available in case of an emergency. Everything went smoothly and Daphne was happy as she could be to have walkers and friends visiting her throughout the day. The update reports and photos are also nice for peace of mind. We wouldn't hire anyone else for dog walks or daytime care. They're excellent and reliable.

I was HORRIFIED that they just kicked her to the curb without giving her a true chance to adjust. West Seattle Doghouse Daycare has been EVERYTHING opposite that experience. First off, it's small. It's owner, Carol, is SO responsive and kind. Right off the bat she let me know that there was a wait list and we would be placed on it. Lucky for us, they had someone who was moving out of state about 6 weeks after we were placed on it. I got impatient and took my dog to Stella Ruffingtons in the meantime. They treated her great there, but she didn't really like it. There were a lot of dogs there which was a bit overwhelming. At WS Doghouse, they slowly introduced her into the pack. She met each dog individually and they were really patient with my dog. My dog gets nervous and freaks out at times, but Carol could tell she wasn't aggressive, just nervous! I love that about Carol! She's a true expert! The service you are provided here is INCREDIBLE! Luna LOVES going there. We are more than happy to be a part of the pack.
