My neighborhood dog group decided to throw a little Saint Patrick's Day party here for us, family and friends. I was told she was offered a great deal for the rental and some homemade dog treats. Parking was a bit confusing as the parking nearby the business was full and there was a spot that we think was free to use but not sure. As we entered, we were greeted by a staff member who let us in and the space is huge! There were plenty of toys, a dog pool, and little obstacles for dogs to enjoy to their hearts' content! They even have a hose to fill up the pool or just have your dogs chase around. There were little cubbies and lots of areas to hang leashes, coats, and other stuff on. They had Youtube videos playing too. The dog treats were so creative. They had cannoli, biscuits, and much more. All of our dogs seemed to have enjoy the treats greatly, no treats were left behind. All of the dogs seemed to be enjoying themselves as they just had so much to do or other dogs to play with. Definitely look forward to coming back here to throw future dog parties as our group loves to do little events for our fur babies. read more

This place is super cute decor with friendly and kind staff, but what makes me nervous is how tiny it is with how many dogs they allow. It made me wonder about the ratio balance between humans vs dogs. I had dropped my dog off for a behavioral assessment, as we have trips coming up and I'm looking for boarding care. This is not where I'm personally comfortable leaving my pup, as the ratio seemed to be 1 human to 15 or 20 dogs in an indoor-only, less than 1500sq foot space. The good news is they are so kind and nice humans, if I was rating them they'd earn 5+++ stars as I'd leave my dog in their care anytime! The problem I had was the physical space (super tiny!) and the ratio of dogs, as they allowed 3 or 4 pups to greet my dog while 15 or so were in a hallway-type space patiently waiting and sooooo well-behaved, to greet and play. The space for playing is very limited, about 1/2 the size of a classroom, and while it's clean and the staff are super lovely, it's probably not the best fit for our pup who loves to play fetch and run. Parking is also super tricky in this neighborhood, as there isn't a parking lot or spaces reserved for the business. read more

Today I had a Christmas Pawty there! I had a fabulous time! Not only was Tiffany accommodating and sweet, she really went out of her way with little touches. I chose to do my own decorating and stuff but she still put up little welcome signs and such. The facility was excellently cleaned, and smelled that way upon entry. I would and will be recommending their party space to others and will be coming back myself. It was plenty of space for everyone ( even though a few had to miss the event, stupid flu!) All around it was a awesome time and everyone is messaging me to tell me what fun they had! read more

Dogworxx has been a life save for me. I have an energetic puppy who never gets tired. She LOVES going here, she starts wagging her tail and jumping in the car when she sees the front door. Everyone who works there is SO kind and they treat the doggos like their own. IDK how they do it but the place smells way better than other doggie daycares I've been to, and even more impressive my dog doesn't smell like dog when I pick her up! They do pool parties on Fridays and my puppy is so tired after going on those days. They regularly post photos and video on Instagram which makes my workday so much better. 10/10 recommend!! read more

I'm a big fan of Dogworxx. and of Tiffany the owner. I was worried about leaving my seven lb Yorkie, "Bug" behind with the bigger dogs. But she has the best time when she goes there. When I picked her up she was sleeping on the house with a huge Great Dane. They play games and run through tunnels, get snacks. As soon as a dog goes to the bathroom, they clean it up with a microbial spray and it's gone. There is plenty of space. It's on the first floor of an apartment building and they video tape your dog so you can pull it up on Facebook and see how much fun they are having. Tiffany and her staff seem to love and adore all dog, and are very mindful of any personal traits they have. Bug gets so excited when I say, "let's go play with the Big Dogs", she can hardly contain herself. read more

I volunteer and foster for a dog rescue in Seattle. The owner of Dogworxx (Tiffany) hosted a dog adoption event and had a donations drive. Tiffany was on hand helping out and you can feel she has great energy and love the pups. It's a great open space for plenty of playtime and hang out space for the pups to rest if they prefer quiet time. If I lived closer I would definitely treat my pup and foster pup on rainy days for exercise. My foster was exhausted when we got home - she had a good time. I look forward to returning in 2018 if the opportunity presents itself. read more

We love Dogworxx and what better day to give them a shout out than National Love Your Pet Day! They love our dog, Wilma, almost as much as we do. Wilma practically drags us to their door anytime we get close. She loves both her fur friends and the human pack leaders at Dogworxx. We love that she gets her sillies out by running, chasing the ball and wrestling with her friends. She always takes a long nap afterwards! The staff at Dogworxx should charge extra for all of the awesome photos and videos they take of all of the pups. We are so lucky to have found our extended fur family at Dogworxx! read more

Today I held a Paw-ty at their facility for my dog's 10th birthday. Tiffany is so amazingly nice and was so thorough before the party that it went so well! I have a special dog so it was all humans and just him and he thought it was the best day ever. I was so overjoyed to see him so happy and having the space for everyone to celebrate him. They went over the top on all the little details and saved the day when I locked my phone inside. Thank you to everyone at Dogworxx!!!! read more

Dogworxx - Before and after - Pet Sitting Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My pup loves this place she comes in about once or twice a week, she is very energetic and she always comes home tired. She loves coming here !! And I love to see her play and make friends read more

Our dogs love going to Dogworxx. They get a lot of attention and are able to interact will a group of dogs that is just the right size.

I absolutely adore this place. My fur babies and I could not be happier!!! Tiffany, the owner, is an incredible and giving person who truly loves what she does and everyone who works with her can't help but catch the excitement! And Margie the groomer is a miracle worker. She has a heart of gold to work with my pups who have a high amount of anxiety when it comes to grooming. Hubby and I adopted our dogs from the shelter three months ago and we've been working on getting them socialized and back to normal health. I feel very privileged to get to bring my dogs here because I've seen the growth they've had in bringing them here. Dogworxx and it's staff have definitely been part of the process. Plus, whenever I pick them up we take a walk around the Foss Waterway which is right in front of the Glass Museum. It's just so beautiful! I can't help but feel grateful every time we get to come for a visit. Pluses for me were the size of the doggie daycare. I think 22 is the most I heard coming to spend the day. There might be more than that but certainly not 40-50 dogs in a day like some bigger facilities. Which is nice for my little doggie Nola who I think would feel very overwhelmed anywhere else. The facility is brightly colored and just plain fun to look at. There's items for the dogs to climb, a doggie pool, and even a dog TV with images of dogs playing going on. All in all very inviting. My dogs come back to me looking happy, well groomed, and tired from all the socializing! Tiffany also is part of a Thai dog rescue program. It is incredible to hear that since they've started it, they've assisted in over 50 dogs finding forever homes! So the company Dogworxx is not only great for your dog, but you're helping dogs from other places as well! I definitely recommend coming to check this place out! read more

Dogworxx is a great concept & I think it is a great option for those who have non-working dogs or dogs that are lap dogs. I dropped my furchild off for her half day assessment with my fingers crossed it would then turn into a full day of day care. I live in Tacoma but work in Seattle. Their website lists that they conduct a four hour behavioral assessment before securing the rest of the day for care & that they will let the owner know if there are any issues after those four hours. I didn't receive a call so I assumed that there were not any issues. To provide background on my dog, she has been socialized from day one as I get to take her to work with me in a corporate environment in downtown Seattle. There are dogs everywhere where I work and there is constant play opportunities and corporately owned dog parks in which my dog plays and meets new dogs daily. At 8months old, she is responsive to both verbal and non verbal commands. She understands when I or an other says, "out" that play stops and she is to have eyes on me for release or the next command. When I called towards the end of the day prior to pick up I didn't expect to be on the phone for approximately 20minutes. I do not remember the name of the employee but what I do remember is feeling chastised and embarrassed. I was informed that my dog was too high energy and that the shepherds in the past who have the same type of play. That, "because of your dog, the other dogs were not able to play fetch as much as normal." I was also informed the following statements: "Your dog herds the other dogs." - Of course, she is a shepherd. "Your dog has high energy." - She is a 8mo old puppy. "The other dogs come here to play as well." - So did my dog, that's not a fair statement. "Your dog didn't nap during designated nap time and kept wanting to play with the other dogs." - My dog doesn't nap on command. She naps when she is tired. If there is no space for resting dogs to rest separately, dogs cannot be blamed for wanting to still play. "We had to have an other employee stay extra to help keep eyes on your dog." - If it was an issue, I should have received a call after four hours. "We don't really know if its going to work out with her, there are some play patterns we would want to see broken." - If you don't want working dogs, high energy dogs, or dogs with specific traits, then you need to list that or have areas/trainers that are capable of accommodating. You're not going to break a Labrador retriever of wanting to have something in it's mouth or wanting to retrieve, just like you're not going to break the natural instinct of a shepherd to want to herd. "The dogs that come down here from the apartment complex come down here expecting to be able to play." - An other statement which made me feel like this business is tailored only to their specific clients in that apartment building. Also, from the video - the group WAS playing. My dog's presence may have shaken things up since she is new, but playing did not stop due to her. I watched the video clips from the day as objectively as possible. My dog's play was not distinguishable from any other dog's type of play, nor was it aggressive or dangerous. Honestly. It's my assumption that the staff are used to the pack they have already established and aren't excited to welcome new additions or different breeds that might be more labor intensive. It's also an assumption that due to my dogs breed (shepherd) and color that she comes across and looking more aggressive than she actually is; she is a focused and has an alertness about her, not aggressiveness. Also, I believe that there was a tactful and polite way to communicate all of the above concerns in a manner that wouldn't have had made me feel unwelcome. Statements like, the other dogs didn't get to play or we had to go out of our way specifically for your dog could have used some finesse. While I welcome anything that will help my dog have options for group play, etc. this type of communication wasn't particularly helpful. I'm not sure if I'll give the business a try again with my dog. I don't think there is the knowledge or patience there to interact with my dog. However, the facility is nice, the gear is cool, and I think it would be great for a small and/or low energy dogs. read more

I am new to the PNW, Dogworxx and all the staff here have been so helpful in the transition. They have been flexible, accommodating and kind with me and my dog. My dog LOVES IT. Every time we walk past the place she drags me to the door, she wants to visit her people at daycare. They have helped me coordinate walks and overnighters for the weekend. The place is always clean. And everyone is just friendly. You cannot ask for more from your doggie daycare. read more

After volunteering/working here at Dogworxx with these people for two years I have to admit this place is better than I expected it would be. All employees and owners are truly giving to each and every dog. They ensure an exciting and fun time at daycare. Such great attention and care is given to each pup. Dogworxx people are the best dog people I have ever met!! You can rest assured they have your back when it relates to your fur baby. Best place there is for your baby in Tacoma. read more

This is the best dog day care. The staff is unreal how good they are. Completely blown away by the customer service and care my dog got.

In December of 2016, I got a puppy named Griff. I was on vacation during December and had all the days to be with him which was amazing, until I had to go back to work in January. Griff didn't do well being on his own and as a puppy, has an exorbitant amount of energy. I wasn't sure what to do with him. I had met Tiffany a couple of months before and remembered that she was opening up a doggie daycare in Tacoma. It was perfect timing ! I live in Puyallup and commute 23 minutes every morning to bring Griff to daycare. It is beyond worth it for me. Tiffany started with a 4 hour behavioral assessment, if Griff had passed that and I wanted him to stay the remainder of the day, it was only $30.00!! Seeing Griff happy and tired at the end of the day solidified that this was where he needed to be. It puts me at ease knowing that my fur baby is well taken care of during the day. They play non stop with the dogs, throwing the ball, letting the dogs play in the pool, etc. They are so interactive with each and every dog. I am so incredibly grateful to have Tiffany and her staff taking care of Griff during the day, it eases that Mom guilt of not being with my dog and I rest easy knowing he gets to go and play with his friends and be socialized instead of being home alone. DOGWORXX goes above and beyond for the dogs and parents, we have attended Yappy Hours where we get to meet other daycare dogs and parents as well as fundraisers for dogs in need. Tiffany and staff treat every dog as their own. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else ! We Love DOGWORXX !! read more

Thank you Tiffany and your groomer! This place is amazing! No smell like you find in other boarding places. Grass. Incredible friendly and professional service! After our groomer moved out of the area, my wife was looking for a groomer for our older Rot/Shepherd mix Zeuss. She found Dogworxx. And is really happy! Zeuss smells and looks great. Tiffany and her groomer are knowledgeable and helpful. My wife is handicapped and needs help. Unlike other boarding facilities, Dogworxx is not overcrowded. We will be back! read more

My wife and I have enrolled our boy, Savvy, into this day care and couldn't be more thrilled to have done so! The atmosphere is pristine, inviting, and full of playful pups of all sizes and age, which is appropriate and perfect in any pack! They have places to play, places to relax, and of course places to use the restroom without getting soaked up in the current winter weather! We couldn't be any happier with our choice of coming to Dogworxx! read more

If you want your furry family member to feel cared for and comfortable while playing in a safe environment this is the place to go. The pups can play, fetch, take a dip in the pool and when they're tired they can curl up on one of the leather couches for a nap. Mom and/or dad can check out Instagram and Facebook to see videos and pictures of their babies too!!! read more

We love Dogworxx. We have a year old chocolate labradoodle named Maisie and she loves her time at Dogworxx. We started taking her last October when she was about 4 months old and we were overwhelmed with a high energy very active pup. We have had pugs for years and when a beloved pug had died of heart issues I decided to get a small sized doodle to be a pal to our other 6 year old pug. Sadly our doodle puppy was a bit more than we bargained for and after lots of work with a trainer she needed some playtime with other active dogs to learn how to be a good pup. We had tried a larger daycare that had puppy mondays and she did well but was very overwhelmed by the large size and the amount of dogs. We tried a smaller daycare with smaller dogs and Maisie was just too active and rough. My friend recommend dogworxx and we tried it out. The size was perfect for our dog. We loved the indoor park, the constant posts on social media and the way the ownership shared with us about Maisie's days. We worked together to help Maisie be part of the Dogworxx pack. We only take her 1 or 2 times a week just enough to have a great day of play so when she comes home she is happy and tired. We noticed she is so much kinder and gentler with our pug and she now seems to know when it is a daycare day because she get all excited in the morning looking out the window for our friend that often comes and picks her up to take her with her dog. Thank you Dogworxx and crew, Maisie is more confident and balanced and loves her play time. I appreciate your care for her and your communication about her day and how we can work together to help her be a great pup. Oh yeah and did I mention we live in Lakewood? It is so worth it to make the 20 to 30 min drive depending on Traffic) into Tacoma to go to Dogworxx. read more

This is hands down the best doggy daycare you will find in the area. I volunteered here for over a year and became one of the pack-leaders, so I can confidently say that you will not come across a staff more committed to the safety and well-being of your fur child! I am leaving for basic training, and my parents, who took my dog while I'll be gone, know to bring him here if ever they need him to be watched for a day because I trust that it's the place he will be safest and happiest! They take the time to make sure every dog - wether they are the type who constantly want to play fetch, or the type who wants constant human affection - gets the individual attention you would give your pupper yourself! You can check in on Facebook and see how your fur baby is doing with awesome pictures and videos updated frequently throughout the day! The park itself is always clean and tidy, and every dog there has passed a behavioral assessment that means no matter what size they are, they are a sweetheart who will make your dog's day that much better! If I get stationed here, you bet I'll be bringing my pup in for daycare here in Tacoma even if it's 25 min away from base! Completely worth it! read more

I used to work in an office at Albers Mills next door to Dogworxx. I remember seeing the sign that a doggie daycare was opening. I already brought Big Bentley aka wiggle puss to daycare in Sumner but was excited to have a place closer that I could visit at lunch if I so desired. We began with Dogworxx within the month they opened. Bentley and I fell in love with Tiffany, Cindy and the rest of the crew. Yes, John too. They have been so awesome with Bentley and treat all the babies like they are their own. I love the fact that little and bigs are not separated because Big Bentley loves the littles. I no longer work in Tacoma and havent for a year but I continue to take the time to bring Bentley once a week. My criteria when looking for another job was that it had to be a relatively easy detour to Dogworxx. If you are looking for your scobie to be loved and to have the ability to chill or play at will, Dogworxx is your place. Bentley's mama. read more

I work for the ownership group of the apartments next door, Albers Mill Lofts. Many of our residents bring their dogs to Dogworxx during the day and love it. It's so convenient to just walk next door and drop them off. You can tell that the people working there truly care about the dogs and are passionate about what they do. They are great neighbors! read more

Sometimes you need a little vacation from your dogs or perhaps life gets a little busy and you need a reliable place that you can take your dogs to for proper care and attention, for us and our dogs, Dogworxx is that place. It's fully indoors with a limited amount of dogs so your dog gets a lot of personal attention. It's really easy to book appointments to reserve your space and to perhaps book other services provided like grooming. A live stream camera makes it really nice to check in and watch your dog have a blast with the other dogs. Dogworxx posts on social media platforms awesome pics and cleverly edited videos to make your dog feel like a star or at least grandma across country will think they are. For us and our dogs, this is the perfect doggie daycare and I'm sure it will be for you too. read more

This place is amazing. All the staff are incredible and passionate about dogs. Our dog is a 60lb 4y/o boxer rescue with separation anxiety and to know he's in good hands is such a relief. He literally tries to drag me to dogworxx because he loves it so much. They are also very thoughtful and careful with their behavioral assessments when bringing in new dogs. Many people want to think their dog is great, but sometimes owners condone bad behavior and make excuses. And then drop them off at a dog daycare expecting someone else to train them. My dog has been attacked numerous times at public dog parks so this has always been a concern of mine when choosing a dog daycare. It's so cool to see such a wide variety of dogs, ranging from tiny to giant, playing all together in one space at Dogworxx. This is the evidence to support how great this place is. And by how tired and happy your pup will be at the end of the day. Thank you for caring for our beloved Zeus! You guys rock! read more

Our senior dog had been asked to leave her prior daycare of five years due to her late-in-life destructive separation anxiety. We understood and parted ways in a positive way. My husband found DOGWORXX and met the owner, Tiffany. We brought Sofie in for a behavioral assessment, crossed our fingers and drove away. I truly believe it was the comfort of a smaller daycare and the constant attention Tiffany and her pack leaders Cindy and Margie have along with their many volunteers that Sofie found her comfort zone. When we lost Sofie, Tiffany helped us adopt two dogs from Thailand. Ella was scared to death of her own shadow, but in 4 months, Tiffany has helped Ella gain so much confidence in herself. Louie is 1 day new to the DOGWORXX park, but with so many positive vibes, he made it through his assessment and a grooming with Margie to boot! Ella and Louie can play with their fur friends, relax on one of the many beds, plushy couch or over-stuffed chair provided while they watch their favorite shows on tv. It's warm, it's clean and Tiffany & John installed a state of the art irrigation system so the pups can potty without the lingering potty smell. Important to all of us who have had dogs in indoor daycares that have left our dogs smelling like the daycare. We are thrilled to have found Tiffany and her wonderful doggie daycare. She's so involved in the community, you may have met her before at any one of the many markets or local and abroad shelter activities! She's so great about making all of us at DOGWORXX feel like we're part of our own little community. read more
