Linn owns two places side by side. The dogs have a dog run in the center of the house. They can spend all day running back and forth between the houses. This is a very secure area. Your dog(s) spend the night uncaged in the house. They find their own spot to rest. Linn is alway there looking after the pets. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other places. I was very impressed on my first visit. Everything is so clean and well maintained. If you don't believe me, call her up and set up an appointment to visit her place. She has the credentials to back her experience. She is a member of: PSI Certified Professional Pet Sitter and a Member of the National Association of Pet Sitters. She is certified in Animal First Aid & CPR. She is also Bonded & Insuried. When you go to other places, ask about their credentials and experience, they can't compare to the "Personal & Pet Concierce". No, I don't get free boarding for my comments!

I knew I would need at least one night that I would need care for my two small dogs when I was…read moretraveling to the Bremerton area. My dogs are usually with me all the time and I am very hesitant to leave them anywhere without giving two hours worth of instructions. Yes, I'm THAT kind of pet parent. Anyways, I stopped by to check out Linn's place before I took my dogs there and it seemed like a great place and all the dogs seemed happy to be there. She showed me around all the areas that the dogs would be in and I liked that it was very much a home environment, instead of doggie daycares that seem very sterile and not like home. It really is like a little dog adventure land that they can explore the many yards and decks and different areas. After the first night I left my dogs there, I ended up staying longer than expected and having my dogs stay there on five different occasions, one that lasted 4 nights. Each time I felt more and more comfortable and really left my dogs knowing they were in good hands and when I dropped them off and picked them up they were happy -- not scared, anxious or hesitant at all. This is something, especially for my newest dog we rescued from an abusive home just four months ago and he is very timid around most people and new environments. There are also cameras you can check on your pets on, although I never downloaded the app or website. That's how comfortable I was, I didn't feel I needed to check on them. Although I appreciated the picture and video updates that Linn sent me! The price is quite reasonable, but don't forget to leave a little extra if you really appreciate the care your pets have gotten, because she works really hard for the little she charges. Especially with my dogs, I know they're a handful! She is also willing to work with you on pickup and drop-off times and she ensures you are the only person dropping off so it is easy for all involved. The extra gates also give peace of mind your dogs won't escape on accident or if they're looking for an adventure, as mine oftentimes do. Linn really has thought of everything here, and my dogs enjoy staying overnight and playing with all of the other dogs who come here. I just wish I could find a place like this in California, but I'll be back next time I'm in town and know that I can leave my dogs safely while I'm away.

Over a couple months and several trips, he started to love going and now he will jump out of the car and run to the door for someone to open it for him. I've read a lot of reviews that talked about dogs having issues when they came home. Firstly, you just put your dog under stress by boarding them somewhere completely new to them. Of course they will have bowel issues because they probably didn't eat much while they were there, and then they got home and gorged. Stress will do that to dogs, and as a dog owner you should know that even the slightest change in some dog's routines will set off their GI tract. Secondly, your dog is around other dogs - you should expect that it is the same if you were to go to a dog park. They will play, and sometimes it's rough. Thirdly,not all vaccinations cover all the bases, especially when your dog may have the live virus or another dog has it from getting their shots. Sorry, but like at a dog park it isn't controlled. Finally, in the paperwork you sign, it says to not bring personal items for the dogs other than food - it helps keep areas cleaner and the dogs probably shouldn't have toys/beds of their own to get protective over. The dogs are treated well and have lots of interaction with the care team there. The other day I walked in and looked for one of them and up pops one of the younger gentleman from the floor in the middle of a pack of dogs. He'd been on the floor playing with them. If you are worried about your dog coming here, you don't own a dog - you have a "special pet" who would do better with an in home sitter.

**WARNING** & **BEWARE**…read more If you love and care for your pup and its well being, then I urge you DO NOT bring take them here! This place is a DEATH trap! I have taken my pup here on and off consistently over the last 2 years. I have often have had to take breaks from this place due to various incidents. Bites missing patches of hair, and my dog often being extremely hungry and thirsty when returning from there as if he hasn't eaten or had anything to drink at all. Most recently I came to pick up my pup, not knowing they have changed the hours again ( as they often due to lack of employees) to find that my dog was in alone in "isolation" after being attacked and bitten by another dog. A piece of my dogs ear had been bitten off, by what is obliviously a bigger dog, which whom he should have never been left alone with unattended. My pup is a loving, fun and playful 2year old Pug, without an a aggressive bone in his body. They did not notify me of the attack and injury! Although this was an EMERGENCY, in which they allow pick-up, they tried to hide the injury! When I requested to know the details of the injury, they could NOT tell me ANYTHING! They did not have any answer because they were not present when the injury occurred! They could not tell me what happened, or who the attacking dog was. (that would be necessary to know for future stays) but they are completely clueless because they don't watch over the dogs. You drop your pup off and they go in a cage, while the staff goes to stay in a separate area behind the building of where they store the dogs, or they leave! (which I have witnessed They DO NOT watch over the dogs to ensure that there are no incidents! They DO NOT have cameras monitoring your dog while in there care! They take zero preventative measures to ensure your animals safety, despite knowing the various kinds of dogs they keep in there facility. If injury occurs to your animal here; including death, they will tell you" well you signed a liability waiver and this is a open range facility". You will not be granted access to see the inhumane conditions in which they are not caring for your pet or it's well being! Because they are traitorous and beneath most loving pet owners standards. They did not offer any assistance with my $360 vet bill despite my dog permanently having a fraction of his ear missing! They had no care or concern, and turned a blind eye to a loyal customers. Never returned my phone care or showed any concern. The owner ROBERT GRAHAM refused to speak to me to avoid accountability and forced me to talk only to his employee who has no authority or can provide zero resolve. I take partial responsibility knowing the conditions of this place and taking him back despite the previous incidents which occurred in their care that they had no care or concern about! Just pay more and go to a reputable, dog sitter or day care! There are plenty of places! They didn't even bother trying to clean the wound with soap and water and applying antibiotics, they provided zero care! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY for & this place is the cheapest prices around for a reason!!! Don't risk you let's safety and we'll being! All the bad reviews on here are true, this place is the worst and even in 2023 NOTHING has changed possibly only **THISIS THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD POSSIBLY TAKE YOUR PET, IF YOU TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE, THEN THEY MUST NOT MEAN MUCH TO YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**

Lucky Dog Daycare is As Good As It Gets…read more I called Tara, the owner of Lucky Dog Daycare before I arrived in Tacoma to ensure I would have appropriate daycare for my new puppy in a new city. Tara was more than helpful, she was phenomenal in making our transition to Tacoma, a smooth one. Not having personally met Tara, she volunteered to loan me her personal playpen, connect me to a quality vet, and assist with any other service I would need for my new puppy....priceless! Lily, my little Welsh Terrier (all terrier and puppy), is undoubtably the least well mannered dog at the daycare. However, the caring, patient staff continues to love her and give me daily progress reports. She is learning and growing up beautifully! Lily loves Lucky Dog Daycare so much that she becomes overly excited, the moment she realizes we have arrived for her drop off. She comes home exhausted and happy and I reap the benefits of her being well cared for, loved and socialized while I, myself adjust to a new job and Tacoma! We both love love Lucky Dog daycare, Tara and her AWESOME staff!

The business operates with convenient hours M-F 6:30am-7pm, and weekends 8am-6pm with store closure during nap-time (11am-3pm) and they offer daycare so there's a lot of regular dogs here too.

My little mutt was rescued from a shelter and seemed to be abused in her previous life. She is so sweet with us, but unless you are in her circle (which consists of myself, my husband, and my brother-in-law who lives with us), she will growl and bark at you if she catches you even glancing at her. That being said, she LOVES Happy Dog South Sound! Having never boarded my dogs, I had no idea what to expect, but the staff is so incredibly nice, patient, and helpful! I must have called a dozen times before we dropped our dogs off the first time, and then even AFTER the first time for follow-up questions. I am positive that they have caller-ID because when I called after their first visit, they referred to some details that made me think that they knew who I was. Even then, they were so pleasant to work with! NEWCOMERS: How it works is you need to call and schedule a day to take your pup or pups there for an initial "meet and greet." They can only do the meet and greets Monday-Friday when a manager is present, so be prepared for that. Depending on their availability, they can probably take you the next day. I had two dogs and travel for work, so I made the "reservation" a week in advance. You can drop your pup off between 7am and 9am and then pick them up starting at 3pm to I think 7pm. When you arrive in the morning, they will have you fill out some paperwork, and when you are done, they'll take your pup(s) inside and that's it! When you go to pick up your pup(s), they will tell you if your pup(s) passed or not. If so, then you will receive an email to register for their reservation site called Gingr. The site is easy to use! We've since dropped our dogs off for daycare again, and they brought out a credit card machine when I picked up my dogs, so make sure you have your card with you when you go up to the door! The meet and greet is free, so you won't experience this the first time you go.
