Doggy Day Care in Bainbridge Island

“Cathleen was so friendly and helpful- taking care of our pups with just a few day's notice when we wanted to visit the island. She made Vivi and Bijou feel comfortable and at home- as evidenced by the photos of them relaxing and snoozing without a care. We were so glad to find her and wouldn't hesitate to have our pups stay with her again.”

“Why is there only 5 stars option, she did absolutely amazing and has helped us take care of our baby pandora. She has an amazing heart and love for all the puppies. If I could give more stars for how amazing she is I would”

“Muggzy had a great day with Trenton and Jordan! They genuinely seemed to enjoy him and understand his needs. He didn’t want to leave! We hope to have him visit there often.”

“We are so grateful to Celia and her wonderful family for taking care of our dog. They are so positive and loving. Tesla came home excited and obviously well cared for. I really don’t want to leave a review and have Celia‘s business fill because we will be bringing Tesla back on a weekly basis. They are the best dog sitters we’ve ever had.”

“Khayl was amazing with my brand new puppy. She kept me up to date and sent videos during his visit. I would tell from the videos how well cared for he was and I will most certainly use her services again. A+++, you will be so happy with the care that she provides! Thank you again Khayl 💓”

About: Hi my name is Emma, I live in Bremerton near the shipyard with my husband and our dog Bella. We have decided to open a dog daycare in our home after years of providing care for animals. I love animals and have been taking care of them my entire life. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds (including chickens), fish, and even horses. We have a fully fenced backyard complete with a doggy pool. I think it’s the perfect setting for dogs to socialize and play. I will of course keep an eye on them to break up any issues that might arise. We will have kennels available if necessary but for the majority of the time your dog will be able to explore and play. All dogs must be up to date on shots and be neutered/spayed. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I am home most of the time so my schedule is very flexible so I am available at most times. Also my dog could really use some friends to play with too. I have a fully fenced backyard with plans for fencing the front yard in the future too. I will have kennels available if separation is required. I will be keeping an eye on them too to prevent any potential issues.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for about 10 years, of any size and any energy level. My favorite thing to do with pets is take them on long walks or jogs around the neighborhood, keeping us both in shape and establishing a close bond. At home, I create a pet-friendly environment, ensuring they have enough toys to play with and comfy blankets to sleep on. At the same time, my own pets have a new buddy to play with, keeping them socialized and happy too! I am available to care for pets all days of the week and am happy to meet new pets and take them on walks throughout the day:) I will usually start the day by taking the dogs on a long walk, then serve them breakfast, then we would relax until noon rolls around and it’s time to take them outside to run in the yard and play fetch or tug-of-war. After that, depending on their energy levels, I would let them rest until it's time to take them out for a third time and walk them around the neighborhood before bedtime at 9pm.

“I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say! I was so stressed trying to find a last minute situation for my dogs and Christina was amazing! She sent me many different pictures and updated me throughout the entire day, letting me know how Bear and Sitka were doing! I knew they were in great hands and I am very very happy and pleased with the service she provided! Thank you so much!”

“My puppy Vera looked like she enjoyed her time at Jennifer's place and played with her Golden puppy while she was there! Thank you for watching her for the day :)”

“Great doggy day care. Elizabeth is great at communicating with me and leaves my puppy tired every time. I would highly reccomend!”

“Danielle was absolutely wonderful with Bento for his first time at her in-home doggie daycare! We were so appreciative of her patience in introducing him to her cat – a brand new experience for our little guy, and we were thrilled to hear he eventually accepted his new feline friend. Her large, fenced backyard was perfect for him to get some great playtime. We felt completely at ease leaving Bento in her care and will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”

“I was a little nervous to leave my 5 month puppy, but she enjoyed playing with other dogs and getting extra love from Heather. When I dropped her off for another daycare visit, she was so excited to see Heather.”

“Daisy was treated very well and all instructions were followed. I also received plenty of photos throughout the day. Thanks Kyle”

“Wonderful experience for our senior dog. Very nice clean big yard with plenty of shade and water. Peaceful and calm, he was well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough good things about Emma! Our dog, who is usually very scared of other dogs, stayed with her for the day and we were amazed at the positive experience he had. Emma clearly created a safe and comfortable environment and he actually got to hang out with other dogs and have a good time. It's such a relief to know that we have someone we can trust to care for our dog, especially given his specific needs. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a Rover sitter!”

“Linda is such a super, nice dog lover. She was super flexible with us, and very sweet with Lola. We live in Winslow, Bainbridge Island, and she was nice and close. She is especially close to the ferry dock. I think she would be a perfect sitter for a tourist who needs a place for their dog, while they enjoy a good restaurant or bar. Or for a local that is going over to the City for the day or overnight.”

About: Pets make a house a home and are a member of the family. I’ve had dogs all my life and will consider your pet(s) a member of my family while in my care. Pets in my care are my priority. For sitting in my home or your home, I may charge more than others because I’m prepared to address unexpected care. I try to keep my rates competitive, but it’s challenging to pick one rate for all pets. Please reach out if you’re interested. I’m happy to discuss rates depending on need. I’m currently starting my own business, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I’m on the island full time throughout the week. In your home, I’ll follow your norms and schedule. I’ll ensure your pet is in a safe and clean environment. I’ll adhere to your established rules for furniture privileges, treats, feeding time, post walk cleaning, etc. If I’m staying overnight at your place, I’ll wash my linens and remake the bed (unless you’re returning before noon and then linens may still be in the wash). If I’m watching your pet in my home, I appreciate potty trained and polite pets. Baby pets or incontinent pets will get a smaller area to roam for damage control. Our Coton de Tulear is very friendly and loves to play; she also gets the memo when others aren’t as spritely. If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs, let me know in advance so we can discuss a possible solution.

“I felt so comfortable leaving Raft with Kendra. This was our first time leaving her, and Kendra made it a great experience. I especially appreciated the picture & text update, letting me know how Raft was doing. When we got home, Raft was calm & tired - I could tell she felt safe & had fun. I would definitely recommend Kendra, and will leave Raft with her again!”

About: I am a very attentive dog mom to a 4 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback named Scrappy. We walk 6+ miles a day all over Bainbridge! Super comfortable with other dogs. I will treat your pup like my own :) Big King size bed, couch, lots of toys, clean environment! My pup is friendly to ALL dogs, he's a total beta, non-aggressive and lots having friends over! We spend a lot of time at the big dog parks and usually get out for 3 miles in the morning and 5+ miles in the evening. Can do less depending on your dogs needs. Safe, clean, well cared for home, I send photos and keep you updated. I have know how scary it is to leave your pup with someone...I can provide that peace of mind. Morning, mid day, and evening walks - rain or shine! Also trips to the beach, dog park, and beyond. I work from home so very flexible. I would never let dogs outside my house without leash, I don’t live close to busy road, I’m very safety conscious. My house is safe and sound for your pup!

About: I have cared for my own dog, Jolene for 4-years. She’s a well-tempered chocolate Labrador always eager to make best friends with your furry kid! Large green yard for fetch and zoomies, daily hikes can be included if preferred! I work remote full-time, Monday through Friday (8-5pm), however have plenty of time to provide bio-breaks, play-time, and walks! I have 2 large outdoor living spaces (deck and covered front porch) that are baby gated. Even when they’re inside, they will have the perks of being outside! Dogs are welcome to lounge on the decks benefiting from the sounds and smells of the forest. Large and laundered memory foam dog beds provided on the deck. Multiple water bowl stations throughout the house. Depending on your preference, I can take your loved one outside on a leash during the day for potty breaks and then take them to Strawberry Hill dog park for play-time / hiking trails OR if you trust your dogs command responsiveness, we can go and play outside off leash. House set 100-150’ off the road. Dogs never let outside unsupervised.
