Cosmic Home and Pet was highly recommended to us and lived up to our expectations! Our initial contact was over the phone and after that, was a smooth process of organizing dates and a face to face meeting which all went very well. Brea seemed very easy going and comfortable acclimatizing to our home almost immediately. For the duration of our time away, I received numerous updates, videos and photos via text message. I could tell that my kitties were happy as Brea's photos and videos showed them playing with her, being active etc. Although I missed them like crazy, I was not at all worried about them, which made our vacation more enjoyable. Upon arriving home, everything was well taken care of. The litter box was cleaned, their food station was up to par and our mail was even collected for us. Our keys were returned in a very timely manner. Cosmic Home and Pet was affordable and our experience with them was just excellent. Keep up the amazing work and you will be hearing again from Boots and Whiskey in the near future.

It set my mind at ease to know my little guy got some out of cage time while I was away and that he was being well cared for! Brea and I had a zoom meeting where I showed her around and discussed my bird. Dropping off my key was very easy. I'll definitely use Cosmic Pet for future trips out of town.

Vickie has been watching our two cats when we go away on vacation for over a year and a half. She…read morehas always been punctual and reliable. She communicates clearly about key exchanges and will even water our plants and bring in packages or mail, if we let her know in advance. Vickie has even gotten our extremely shy cat to come out and play with her, and he doesn't come out for anyone (not even us sometimes)! It's clear that she cares for our animals and treats them with kindness and love. We highly, highly recommend Vickie to all pet owners in the Central District.

We love Amanda. Our corgi Wylla has been going to daycare and dog walks with Seattle Offleash for 8…read moreyears and we never looked elsewhere. She's so attentive to dog needs and always is there if you need anything. We moved far away from Seattle and we still reach out to Amanda to have our dog boarded. She is like our dogs surrogate mom. Definitely cannot recommend her enough!

I've been using Amanda as Henry's weekly activity for 4 years now. She provides a unique alternate…read moreto dog walking by taking the pups to different dog parks each week. Dog parks allow Henry to release a much different kind of energy just than walking. Amanda places dogs in "packs" based on size, energy level, and play style. He loves getting to see his dog friends once a week. Amanda also accommodates our ever changing schedules and if a work meeting occurs during pick up she will come into our apartment and get Henry! Henry gallops to her and squeaks with excitement every time she sees her letting me know he is so excited for his weekly adventure. The pups are out for 4-5 hours each time and extremely tired when they get back. This service has been a game changer for us.

My Samoyed has been going to doggy daycare and periodically boarding with Lori for years and it has…read morebeen wonderful! Our pup is always excited when we arrive and we know she has a great time there. This location is incredibly convenient for us and significantly more affordable than other options is Seattle. I like that the dogs have lots of space to roam in the backyard can freely move inside and outside when they want to. We feel very lucky to send our dog to Baba Lu's!

Everyone has their own review and stories and originally I chose baba Lu's as they were rated well…read morebut after a couple of incidents I won't be back nor do I recommend them to anyone. I've used baba Lu's for a few of my visits and it's been a mixed bag. My dog was fine at the meet and greet and 2 of the bookings, my dog was fine and staff were nice. 2 of the other times I had issues with my dog - once he came back with two chipped teeth and 6 dime to quarter sized scabs from an altercation, and the other time he needed to visit the emergency vet due to swelling of his male appendage and extreme redness/sores around his genitals. For the latter booking, I find it odd that the caretakers did not notice this as two different vets said it was obvious it had been out for a while. To me, it seems like the caretakers are not watching the dogs as attentively as they should. If something was odd, I should've been contacted but wasn't. After the whole situation at the emergency vet happened, the owner of Baba lu's (Lori) seemed indifferent about the situation. My partner also noticed distressed barking one time when I was picking up my dog but shrugged it off. I won't be back especially after this last emergency vet visit and the lack of observation. Use your own judgement - I shouldn't have used baba Lu's after the first incident. Some other info: Lori will offers trazodone to dogs that have anxiety - I had to specifically mention not to use it as she's not a vet. It's odd that a dog boarder/day care would offer this medication that requires a prescription and that if a dog wasn't a fit, they wouldn't be allowed. Baba Lu's does not offer any refunds but provides credits with at least 2 weeks notice only if they can fill the spot. Any notice less than 2 weeks has a cancellation fee and it's usually 3 days. Weekday drop off is 7-10am with no weekend morning drop offs. Pickup is up to 9pm. There's a $45 charge for day care if you don't pickup before 10am. otherwise $60 for boarding a night. Venmo (not using goods and services) seems to be the preferred way for payment. Lori will not show you where dogs sleep during the temperament visit nor is she willing to send pictures of your pet during boarding as it is "confidential". Again, I do not recommend Baba Lu's Playhouse.

Play allows her to enjoy some quality human and fellow pup time while I'm working long days. I bring home a happy and thoroughly worn-out furbaby every time. Indoor and outdoor space with plenty of shade in the summer, cover in the rain, and heaters in the winter means that pups are comfortable no matter the elements. The staff here are incredible. They get to know you and your dog to a level I've never experienced at a dog daycare. You are part of a family rather than a business, and that's a beautiful thing. I cannot recommend them enough and my dog and I feel blessed to be part of the pack!

I don't know where they find their staff, but they are the nicest, friendliest and most caring team EVER. They are incredibly flexible with changes, and with a little notice will accommodate all your daycare needs. I feel that a good test of whether a dog is happy, is if you pick them up after boarding, and return just a couple days later for daycare. If the pup nearly rips your arm off, in his eagerness to get back in there, I think you have a winner.

Dallana was very patient with her special needs and seemed to really form a connection with both dogs. She even took the younger dog on runs and gave her a bath when she suffered a mild allergic reaction. Dallana's prices are reasonable, and she was very flexible with scheduling changes. She came and introduced herself to us and the dogs before we left town, and we felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her capable hands after our introductions. And she certainly didn't disappoint! I won't be using any other service for pet sitting in the future.

It was a trial just getting the dog to walk to the end of the alleyway before she wanted to go back inside. Thanks to Jem Pet Services, the puppy got over her fears and I was able to actually take her out on walks around the block, which was great! Dallana's assistance didn't stop there -- she also gave me tons of useful advice about how to care for the pup, and showed me lots of tricks that were invaluable in teaching the puppy to behave. She genuinely cares about both the animals and the people, and the prices/scheduling were incredibly reasonable. Jem Pet Services did a great job with such a young puppy, and had tons of patience for such an inexperienced (temporary) pet owner. I'd highly recommend the service to anyone looking :)

Such an easy process to sign up - with a city so full of dogs, it can be a long waiting game with some companies. We have been using Seattle 4 Dogs for about 5 months now, and it has been such a great help for me and my partner. It is SO easy to schedule on the website and they are very communicative. And our dog absolutely loves it. They are so great with her. I love the pictures, text messages, and emails they send while out on walks and hikes. 100% recommend Seattle 4 Dogs. A+ :)

But, then I had a better idea and started looking for pet sitters for the day. We found several listed on yelp. Mark was one of our first calls. He was responsive and available. He met us at breakfast briefly to say hello and tell us his plan for the day with Titan and make sure that we all felt comfortable. Titan hit it off with Mark immediately. This is the first time we had ever left Titan with a stranger and we weren't sure how Titan would react. As we pulled away titan didn't even watch us leave as he and Mark were already off to a great start. Mark sent us text pics of their adventure together throughout the day & night and that really made us happy! Mark kept Titan with him and a couple other cute doggies all day and then delivered him to our vacation rental just before we got home. We were cracking up when we found a report card Mark left for Titan with a big red A+ at the top and notes of what they did and how many time he pooped! Lol! To sum it up Mark offers great service, quality care and is very compassionate. We highly recommend Mark.
