Ann-Marie is wonderful. We needed a last minute pet sitter for a family emergency and she really helped us out. Her flexibility in taking in our two dogs on short notice was incredible. In addition, our dogs were well cared for and had a great time at her home. Just in the little time that i had spent with her for our dogs' temperament test showed me that she knew dogs well and had years of experience to back it up. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter, dog walker, or dog daycare. read more

Ann Marie has taken care of my pup (Cooper) since he was a baby. He is 2 now. She is like a 2nd mother to him. Cooper can't contain his excitement when we pull into the driveway. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and will care for them as well as the owners does, I highly recommend Ann Marie. The experience goes well beyond just boarding a dog. She has a great deal of knowledge on medical and behavioral issues of dogs as well. read more

Just a small update to further exemplify the outstanding service you get at Ann Marie's. (All accolades in my previous review still apply.) Right before our Memorial Weekend trip, one of our three Shelties developed pancreatitis and needed to be hospitalized. Our local Everett Banfield said that he would need to brought in daily for at least three days to get IV fluids. This couldn't have happened at the worst possible time: the day before our flight out and our drop-off at Ann Marie's. We tried to get him a room at the Woodinville PetSmart Pet Hotel since there was a Banfield in the same PetSmart--HOWEVER--the PetSmart Pet Hotel does not take sick animals, even if they will be treated for most of the day in the same PetSmart's Banfield. Despite my pleas the Pet Hotel insisted on their policy. Desperate, my wife and I contact Ann Marie to see what could be done. We worked with her and the closest Banfield to her Pet Au Pair, and without hesitation Ann Marie agreed to bring our poor dog to and from the Aurora Banifield to get IV fluid treatment for his pancreatitis...then back to Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair to sleep in comfort surrounded by his two sisters. This goes ABOVE AND BEYOND any kind of care you could get from any Pet Boarding facility...and without the kindness and dedication of Ann Marie, we shudder to think what would have become of our poor Sheltie. For owners finding themselves in a similar situation as ours, I can't promise the same service we received from Ann Marie...BUT from reading other reviews I can strongly purport that you and your beloved pets will be more than welcome at her Pet Au Pair...and that she will care your sick children to the best of her ability so long as you are able to get the professional care for them as required. Trust. Care. Love. That's what Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair is all about. You can't find anyone better. read more

Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair is an absolutely perfect place for dogs, either as a dog daycare or for boarding. Our two dogs come here three times a week and they love it. I'm not certain how we would raise our terriers without Ann Marie - she has become an extension of our family. For the first time ever, I'm able to relax and enjoy my vacations without worrying about my dogs. Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair is a home environment with a fenced front and backyard. The fence is reinforced below ground level to keep digging dogs safe. For dogs who like to dig, Ann Marie has a designated digging area in her backyard. Inside the house, there are multiple dog beds and a sofa with a dog blanket so dogs feel very much at home. The number of dogs varies with an average of four to eight. The house always looks and smells clean despite all of the dogs; I believe Ann Marie washes all of the rugs and dog beds every other day. Aside from stepping out to do the occasional dog walk or training session, Ann Marie is at home with the dogs during the day and they receive plenty of attention. Our dogs, Teddie and Oliver, really enjoy playing with the other dogs and being part of a pack. They whine with anticipation as we get close to Ann Marie's and they bound into her yard with enthusiasm when we arrive. Teddie and Oliver have a regular set of dog friends they look forward to seeing weekly at Ann Marie's. Nearly every day, Ann Marie sends pictures or videos of the dogs having fun. When we pick them up to go home, she carries them to the car and ensures they are strapped in safely, always taking a moment to hug them goodbye. We're very grateful to Ann Marie for how she handled a medical emergency with Teddie. With no history of health issues, and being just two years old, it came as a shock when Teddie had a seizure at Ann Marie's. Ann Marie immediately rushed Teddie to the vet which is just a few blocks from her house. Teddie had lost consciousness during her seizure and was unresponsive to Ann Marie's attempts to revive her. Fortunately, Ann Marie acted quickly and was able to have Teddie seen by a veterinarian literally minutes after the seizure. She cancelled her dog walks and other commitments for the day and remained actively involved in dealing with Teddie's medical emergency. Ann Marie is extremely devoted to the dogs in her care and we will always remain so thankful for taking such good care of Teddie on that awful, frightening day. In conclusion, I really can't say enough wonderful things about Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair. read more

Our dog, Burke, has separation anxiety and was timid when I first dropped him off, as to be expected. When I picked him up he was so energetic and absolutely loved staying at Ann Marie's! He enjoys all the other dogs there and is always excited when we pull into her street. 100% recommend her to everyone I know! read more

Ann Marie was one of the trainers in my puppy's charm school. Our first night in class we found out that Ann Marie boards dogs during the day too. Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair has been a godsend for us! Not only does our puppy love, love, love her, she takes the time to do things for him that we don't even ask her to do. The hair around his eyes had grown real long and she trimmed it one day. Her knowledge about dogs is invaluable and all the tips I got from her every time I picked Yogi up were fantastic! She loves all her dogs which she boards and it shows. My husband and I are crazy in love with our puppy and hearing the way Ann Marie talked about him, we felt she genuinely enjoyed him, too! A lot of the time, Ann Marie sent me videos and photos of Yogi during the day to let me know he was having a great time with the other doggies there. We also noticed that since we started bringing Yogi there, he's had less accidents at home and has learned from the big dogs that he has to go potty outside. His overall behavior seems to have improved! Ann Marie's Pet Au Pair is a wonderful, trustworthy doggie daycare and exactly the kind of place where you want to send your baby when you can't be with them. read more

Anne Marie is great! She ensures dogs will fit in with her pack before accepting them and she is very accommodating to dogs with special needs (medications, old, sleeping arrangements, etc.) Anne Marie was able to take my dog on short notice when my grandpa passed away. Her rates are reasonable and she lets my pooch sleep in bed with her. She sends updates and pictures while I'm away so it puts me at ease knowing my dog is in good hands. She has a large fenced in back yard for the dogs to play. Her front yard is also fenced for when dogs need some alone time or a time out. She even washed Lucy's blanket before I picked her up. I use Anne Marie for all my sitting needs. read more

Ann Marie is the neighborhood dog whisperer! She works expertly with dogs of all abilities and disabilities. She took great care of my old, blind lab by being sensitive to her every need. She could tell by observing my old dog whether she was feeing nervous or overwhelmed and easily remedied the situation to make her feel comfortable. Now I am confidently leaving my new pup in her capable hands. She has high health standards for her dog care program by requiring all dogs to be current on their vaccinations. She also keeps her yard clean and well mowed. Another benefit of working with Ann Marie is all the little nuggets of dog training wisdom she gives away freely to her clients. Ann Marie has a kind, compassionate heart so I highly recommend her if you want excellent care for your dog. read more

We have been using Ann Marie for nearly four years and our dogs adore her. We first reached out for help with an aging Weimaraner who needed a mid-day check in while we were at work. Ann Marie was reliable and gave our senior dog a ton of extra TLC. We continued to use Ann Marie when we adopted an 8 week old Labradoodle. She went beyond routine care, but helped us with training and socialization. We now have two labradoodles who frequent her house and stay over night. We love dropping off the dogs there - they love it and we know they'll get excellent care. I highly recommend Ann Marie for training, daycare or over night care or if you just need some pet advice. We love her... and so do our Doodles! read more

Ann Marie is the best! We take our Golden Retriever there and have been for a year now. We were going away for a trip and knew our Golden puppy needed more than just a pet sitter. She needed play time and socialization with other dogs. Ann Marie provides all of that and more. Our Golden goes a couple of days a week for doggie daycare and when we need overnight stays. She loves going to Ann Marie's and I never worry about her when I am gone. She is so excited when we get out of the car to see Ann Marie and her canine buddies. We are thankful for all of the training advice too especially when raising a puppy. I can't imagine life without Ann Marie. read more
