“Our pup had a lovely stay at Sarah’s- very easy, great communication, pictures and updates, and a even some undercoat grooming! Sarah’s place was a perfect mini vacation for T, large fenced in yard and lots of space to play. She’s clearly a great sitter as T came back tuckered out and happy and was knowledgeable on drop off and pickup. 10/10 would use again for boarding and/or sitting!”
“Absolutely wonderful with my puppy Dante. Good communication, friendly and sent me updates for peace of mind. I will definitely be using them again when I am out of town or need a break from puppy. Thank you!”
“Jena & her family were absolutely amazing! They cared for my quirky 6 year old labradoodle for a week while I was on vacation & I can’t imagine a better experience. Bailey was treated as a member of the family & was clearly happy as a clam! Will definitely use Jena again!”
“This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!”
“I recently boarded my Husky, Aiko, with Raaeel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident he was in great hands. Raaeel and her husband are an amazing team professional, kind, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. Their location near Tacoma City Center is super convenient, which made drop-off and pick-up a breeze. What really stood out was the level of care they provided. Raaeel sent me daily photo updates of Aiko, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, active, and well taken care of. She also offered grooming services at a discounted rate, and Aiko came back looking fresh and well groomed, it was a great bonus on top of already excellent boarding. You can tell they treat pets like family. I highly recommend Raaeel to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet boarding, sitting, and grooming needs.”
“Our dog has stayed with Jennifer multiple times. He is always excited to see her and her dogs. It ends up being a fun vacation for him as well. Jennifer is amazing and is so easy to work with. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would without hesitation.”
“Brent was outstanding. After his initial warm greeting for our dog Murphy, I knew he was in good hands during our week away. Brent kept us updated throughout the trip and was very easy to work with. Brent will be the first person we reach out to for our next trip.”
“Kana and her husband are WONDERFUL people! They took great care of Piper and he appeared to have loved his time there. We live out of state and I was worried about who I got and how Piper would like them, I was so happy I chose them! They have a great yard to let the dogs run and all is very well kept and clean. I would not hesitate to use Kana again if we are ever in the area! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Amy was extremely helpful and responsive, even when plans had to be changed and she sent pictures of Red all the time. Working her was fantastic, I highly recommend her for anyone else.”
“Lizzy was fantastic for our loving, anxious pup! From our first meeting through pick up, Lizzy's kindness and care showed through - we knew our boy would be in good hands. We also had great feedback and piece of mind with pictures of our pup chillin' - a sure sign he had found his person and felt secure! Thank you Lizzy -we'll be back for sure!”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Our dog stayed with Dana for a few nights over the weekend and she was great. She was very friendly and accommodating. Our dog had a great time there and was definitely in good hands! We would definitely recommend Dana.”
“We loved having Cheysser watch our dogs! We got lots of updated and my boys looked so happy at her house! We will be having her and her family watch our dogs again!”
“Cheryl is WONDERFUL with dogs! When my diva girls ( chihuahuas) came back home to me they were blasé -figuratively painting their little nails and yawning because they were so relaxed and chill. They were, I believe, happy that I was home but they were definitely not nervous or anxious. My girls are love bugs who love humans a lot but they often come home totally overwhelmed and exhausted or nervous on my return. To see them greet me with a canine sniff and “Hey…” was wonderful!”
“Great service all around. I will be recommending Ethan to friends and family. Next time we go out of town Ethan will be my first call when our little furry friend needs a second home.”
“Margaret was amazing. She sent pictures and kept in contact with us each morning and night. She sent pictures and made sure there was always open communication! Larry felt right at home with the other two dogs! I will be definitely using them again!!”
“They were great in taking care of our pup for a few nights. Very kind and communicative! If anything concerned them they reached out and asked if the behavior was normal or not. I will definitely look to book again when needing a sitter or boarding. Thanks again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Wonder in the care of Dina and Irma. We had a great meet and greet which gave us more confidence entrusting Wonder in their care. We enjoyed the updates throughout, and loved seeing her get along and play with their other dogs (amazing dogs, by the way!). Wonder returned to our care content and wanting more. We will stick with Dina and Irma from here on out! Thank you so much!”
“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”

Dee Anne is so amazing with my pup Max! She ensures he gets a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, treats, rest time, and play time. It's so great to know he's well taken care of when I'm gone. Max always has such a great time with Dee Anne that he's so excited when he hears her name and knows he's going back to visit! Even though he's excited to come home again, he's always sad to leave her. He had an unexpected vet visit before his stay, and Dee Anne was so supportive and accommodating in navigating his new medication needs and activity restrictions. I appreciate her taking such thorough, loving care of him to help him recover during his stay.
Trish and her family did an amazing job watching Burke and Obi! Their warm home made my dogs feel comfortable and safe. Trish was great at understanding my dog’s needs and their well being. She also sent me updates during the stay. I will definitely be booking through Tricia again in the future!
Madison was my favorite sitter so far! She was so loving and sweet with my two dogs right from the start. Sent tons of pictures, especially of them getting snuggles. I can tell they had a great time. They usually are very bashful to start and don't eat, but had no problem with her. Definitely recommend!
I have lost count how many times we have left our dogs w Peggy. I do know that we would not leave them w anybody else. We would reschedule our vacation around her availability if necessary, because she is the only one we trust enough with our dogs. She is the best!
