For several years now, we have relied on Frolic's exceptional team of care buddies, and we feel it's time to share our experience. Since Ursa became part of our family in 2019, during the time we still had our beloved girl, Avory, Frolic has been invaluable in ensuring our pets receive the essential care and attention they deserve. The team at Frolic has seamlessly integrated into our lives, acting as an extension of our family. After Avory's sad passing in 2020, we welcomed Reggie, our fun and highly energetic yellow lab, the following summer. Frolic has been a delightful care team, lovingly welcoming Reggie into their care and always providing him and Ursa with engaging playtime during their visits. They offer not only regular check-ins but also personalized care tailored to our pets' unique needs. Whether it's ensuring timely feeding, engaging them in playtime, or administering medication, we can always count on Frolic to step in whenever we are unavailable. Their dedication and compassion for our pets have truly made a significant difference in our lives and the lives of our pets. We are grateful for the support they provide during our busy times or when we need an extra helping hand. As a busy family, we take comfort in knowing that whenever we reach out to Frolic, our pets and home are in safe, reliable, and loving hands. We HIGHLY recommend Frolic for any pet care you may need. Thank you, Frolic, for always being there when we need you. Jessica, Ryan, Ursa, and Reggie. PS, The photos & walking map along with the visit follow-ups are always so great to have. Just another welcomed & appreciated detail that Frolic incorporates into the care they provide. read more

I've been using Frolic for a few years and evangelize them to every other dog parent! The customer service is excellent. I like that all of their staff walk the dogs in the same manner with the same type of leash; my dog even picked up some better leash manners with them. The overnights are pricier than Rover, but worth it knowing they are so reliable. They schedule the same staff whenever possible. On their app you can leave little quirks about your dog. For example my German Shepherd likes to be chased in circles around the kitchen island, so I usually get a pic of him running away around the kitchen. I was really nervous to leave my big dog with leash aggression but he seems to have more fun when I'm gone than if I never left! Even had one time when my return flight was delayed and they were able to find a last min early morning walker (for a fee which was totally fair). I can't recommend Frolic enough and I am so happy my Rover sitter started working there! :-) read more

These are the people you want- you need not look any further. Our pup Walter loves his Frolic pals, and maybe gets more excited to see them than his boring family. :) They take such good care of our furry family member, are tremendously reliable, and trustworthy. When we travel and can't take Walter, he stays at home and Frolic friends come stay with him. It's such a great solution, I'm not convinced he even misses us. (I'm kidding- he does, but it's clearly so much easier on him when he can stay in his home and get Frolic friends to feed and play and give scritches). I recommend them unreservedly. read more

Great pet-sitting service. A little effort to setup, but super easy to make reservations, changes, and all terms are very clear and fair. Plus they send photos of your pets while you're gone! (which is very cute). read more

It was challenging finding a pet service to come watch our cats while we were away on vacation for a long weekend. Frolic Pet Services was one of the only services in our area to respond to our request and follow up on getting us scheduled. Thank you to Alexis and Kim for helping us get scheduled with your services. A thank you to Wendy and Molly who came to check in on our four cats. There is an app that the service uploads reports to when they visit. They also make sure that you upload as much information as possible to the app so that the caretakers know what to look out for. Prices are very reasonable for a cat sitting service and I felt at ease knowing this service would be checking on my four cats :) Thank you again for the awesome care of our kitties and having continuous communication! Would highly recommend this service if you are in their area! read more

More great service by Frolic Pet Services. So reassuring that they are watching the dogs while I travel-I love receiving the notes and pictures from each visit. So happy I found this premiere pet service to care while I'm away! read more

Thank you, We had Carol, the owner of Frolic, over to train us on how to train our newfie mix puppy, Bear. We learned so much, I am so thankful for your help Carol. Bear is already responding to our curbing his thieving ways. The tools you left have both been used. The chain got him to drop the paper towel after I squirted him to get his attention. He has since looked at said paper towel and decided to forgo it! We're going to have the best dog in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! read more

Beware of unfair extra charges - They charge a $10 rush fee if a walk is scheduled within 24 hours. They continue to charge the rush fee even if the walk is the following day but more than 24 hours after booking. When I brought this to their attention they said they could reschedule the walk yet refused to waive the rush fee. read more

Frolic Pet Services was able to set me up with a same-day 1/2 day Doggie Daycare appointment even though I was from out of town. They have their website, frolicpetservices.com which allows you to sign up with your information, and your pet's information - really a first class customer focused experience. read more

Frolic Pet Services - This is my little fur-baby, who I would let stay at Frolic as often as his little heart desires - except,can't bear to be without for long. - Dog Walkers Near Me

I HIGHLY recommend Frolic Pet Services. We have used Frolic's dog walking service for the last 2 years and could not have been happier. Frolic makes it so easy to book with them through their APP and receive updates on how your pet is doing. Frolic's staff is so professional and did an amazing job accommodating our crazy puppy! The highlight of my day was receiving their walk summary with pictures of my happy dog! We are sad to be moving away and know they are truly one of a kind!!! Thank you Frolic!!! read more

I really cannot say enough good things about Carol and her team at Frolic. Several years ago we needed a new pet sitting company to step in and they have done so with such care, effectiveness, and great communication that I cannot be more grateful. We have four dogs and two cats, and one of them uses a wheelchair and is in continent. So watching our animals is no easy task. We have daily visits, we board them overnight at times when we travel, and we know we can count on frolic for everything. The level of professionalism, communication, and easy scheduling and availability is impressive and much appreciated. My husband handles most everything and it makes his life extremely easy to be able to do so much of it online. Our pets have a variety of special needs, the ones we currently have and the ones we have had over the years. Frolic has been there for all of them, since regular updates and photos, and could not take better care of them. Special shout out to Nancy, she always goes above and beyond and is a favorite! Thanks, Frolic! read more

Nobody can care for your pets quite like Frolic. Unlike some of the dog walking companies in the area, they offer comprehensive training to their employees before they go out in the field. And I'm talking days of training in the field, with a supervisor, along with videos and graded tests. They are very particular about the way to care for their customers and I find that to be quite a relief as a pet owner. Not only do they offer dog walking/sitting services, they can handle anything from ferrets to barn animals! They also provide incredible details to the customer about their interaction with your pet using an app that shows you everything from a mapped route that they took while walking your pets water was refreshed. Yes, they will clean up the BMs and refresh your pet's food/water at no extra charge. The report also includes photos of your pet on the walk as well as a summary of the time spent together. Each day! They are by far the best dog walking company in the area and the owner truly cares about the professionalism and kindness her staff provides during visits. read more

We just got done with our first dog training session with Whitney, and we really feel like we hired the right dog trainer! She is firm but kind, and our appointment was filled with lots of laughs. We still have a lot to learn, but we feel confident that we can get there with the skills we will continue to learn. Whitney has a great presence to her, and I feel like the skills we are learning from her (boundaries and consistency) will translate to life outside of the dog training arena as well. I love how organized Frolic is with their software system and communication. I have hired several other dog trainers over the years for my older dog, and love that Whitney has a non-judgmental attitude towards the various other training methods (as opposed to shaming us for using a certain kind of collar). I have so many more great things to say about working with Whitney. We are looking forward to doing our homework and for our next lesson! read more

I took my dog here for dog daycare for several months. I would never recommend Frolic as while under their care, my dog was bitten by another aggressive dog that required immediate vet attention. After it cost me $300 for the vet bill, I contacted the owner. Not only did she refuse to reimburse my daycare cost for the day of the incident (about $29), when he only spent 1.5 hours under their unwatchful eye, she additionally refused to use any of her "liability" insurance to cover my costs when she admitted, "when the dogs are outside, we are not always watching them". I had the city contact her about this, as well as filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau that she again refused to respond. And finally, she stated that the fact that my dog was bit was my own fault for not bringing him to daycare each day with her! read more

DO NOT BOARD HERE! Has gone downhill! Beware of hidden boarding fees! I first contacted Frolic a few years ago upon moving to WA as Frolic seemed like a great option as they were close, with a flexible schedule, and a large number of staff. Dog walking seemed to go pretty well, and they also offered boarding services, which for our first few vacations, worked great. Recently I had my dogs stay with Frolic while my wife and I were on vacation and expected things to go as well as usual. To my surprise I received a message from Frolic On the first day of boarding that I would be charged a extra fee for one of my dogs barking....um, you own a dog business? Why am I being charged for a dog being a dog? I was also charged because Frolic insisted they knew better than me when it came to medicating my senior dog, I had specified proper dosage three times by the time the our vacation was over, and the owner suggested she knew better, and charged me for over-medicating my dog despite repeatedly telling them to stop. Luckily, an overdose for my dog isn't fatal, but for yours it could be! As the staff and the business owner will not listen to the dog parent when it comes to dosing instructions. By the time all was said and done, we could've boarded a third dog for what we paid in hidden fees, which is outrageous because Frolic already charges more than an animal hospital with 24/7 care. Also, these extras are subjective, and therefore non-negotiable. I was of course I was not told about these extra fees until Frolic already had my dogs. Beware, if you care about your pets, please avoid this place at all costs. read more

So, it's rare that I ever hire dog walkers, however. Frolic Pet Services helped me out tremendously when I was in a a bind and couldn't be happier with the customer service and the dog walkers. They are very detailed oriented, go above expectations, and my favorite thing is receiving pictures of my pups during the day while I'm work. Makes me feel very comfortable knowing my two boys are being taken care of so well! Thank you! Kevin read more

They're great! Scheduling is simple and straightforward. Invoicing and payment is seamless with tipping option available online. The visit summary email with pics is such a blessing to receive when you're away from home and missing your furry little buddy! And I can tell from the update emails and from my kitty's behavior when I return home that he was attended to with cuddles and playtime while I was away, which makes us both happy! Plus I'm pretty sure that Noodles is in love with his favorite sitter, Zach. Check out this cat gaze of sheer love and adoration! Zach, you're the man. And thanks to everyone at frolic for watching our little dude with so much love and care. read more

The BEST dog walking and dog sitting! Frolic has taken wonderful care of my two senior border collies for more than a year. The staff is fantastic, well trained, and are genuine animal lovers. I love that there are a group of folks taking care of my pups so I know someone will always be there even if people are out sick. I've used Frolic a few times for overnight stays while I traveled for work and I know the pups enjoyed all the extra attention. The scheduling folks have been super responsive and Frolic has been great with last-minute requests. Love that Frolic posts photos of my pups for each walk. They've never been so well documented! On a more somber note, I will share that Frolic has been outstanding with my BC Riley, who passed away last week. The team was so thoughtful and our regular walkers, Noah, Kira, and now Bon were sad so see her go. I cannot thank you enough for your support during this very tough time. In conclusion, if you are looking for dog walking or pet sitting - look no further. Frolic Pet Services is what you want. - J. read more

Used Frolic for the first time this summer to care for my two kitties. I was very nervous because they don't like strangers, and I've never been away from them. Not only did they take great care of them and left me wonderful notes on each visit, but my cats also came out and interacted with them! It's true what they say, animals know good people, and these are good caring people! Now I can go on vacation with the piece of mind knowing my babies will be in good care! Thank you Frolic Pet Services! read more

I've been using these guys for about 2 months. So far, it's the best "service" I've used. I tried a handful that service my building but Frolic is: PROs: - Office Staff - Quick to reply to requests - Office Staff - Friendly both on phone and e-mail - Reps - all well trained - we've met about 5 so far - Reps - all similarly trained - important for companies like this when the walker gets switched out now and then. Consistency is important for animals. - Reps have been respectful of my needs and requests for the visits. CON: Only 1 so far! That's pretty good compared to most the other services Downtown. - They switched my "primary" walker out only a few weeks into starting a relationship with my puppy and they charged me to "meet & greet" the new primary. Meeting the walks is critical for us and I feel it should be the companies responsibility to let us know meet a person they are primarily and permanently swapping out. I would be happy to pay for a meet and greet if I was the one making the request to meet other Reps. But it felt unfair the other way around. All in all, we're happy with these guys for now. read more

Terry from Frolic took care of our 4 beasties for a week while we were in California. The cats were happy, the house was tended (mail, lights, ....) and we received daily updates with pictures. They are the best! Will definitely call again and will refer to our pet owning friends. THANK YOU ! read more

I use this service because I am out of town a lot. I absolutely love it. I moved to Seattle a few months back and was extremely worried about what to do with my dog Jackie when I had to leave town for work. Frolic Pet Services has been awesome. It is comforting to know Jackie is in great hands when I'm gone. I know Jackie loves the service because in every update picture they send she looks like a pet magazine model lol. I highly recommend this service. read more

I had a hard time finding a good pet sitter after moving out to Renton. Our regular dog walker from west seattle didn't do overnight pet sitting out this far. i saw a flyer for Frolic at the vets office and decided to give it a try. I was immediately impressed with their fast response and professionalism. I just returned from my short trip and loved the thorough updates that I received for each visit, complete with great photos of my happy pets. I came home to clean litter boxes, full water bowls, and happy and content cats and dog. I don't have to worry anymore if the pets are being taken good care of while i'm away. I have already scheduled my next service! -which they responded to almost immediately.. on a weekend! read more

Our lives became much easier after discovering Frolic. Our dogs can be somewhat challenging (they are semi-reactive), and the walkers and caretakers from Frolic handle their issues with a smile on their faces. We feel very comfortable traveling, working late, and spending days away from the house when Frolic is taking care of our animals. read more

Whoever described this place as a sad puppy pound is correct! The dogs are kept in a garage in crates, the employees have no idea what's going on and our dogs came back to us depressed a very smelly. We would never go here again. The prices are so ridiculous that we can have someone come stay at our home with them for hundreds less and they don't charge us for them barking or giving then then pills in a pill pocket like Frolic. Take your dogs somewhere else. read more

Here was my situation before I found G'Day: I'd have to travel without my dog at least two times a year, sometimes for two weeks at a stretch and the only place I felt 'safe' leaving my dog was at the vet's. However, their kennels were sad - they had the dogs in roomy cages next to each other (albeit in perfectly safe conditions) all day, only taking them out once every few hours to do their business. I had to pay extra for walk-services, but even that wasn't very helpful. My dog would be sad to see me leave and bored during his entire stay. And EVERY TIME I met him afterwards, he'd have put on weight, which I have worked very hard to avoid (yeah, he's a lab). I couldn't leave him with any of my friends because I didn't have him trained enough to be well-behaved. Here was my situation when I found G'Day: Carol did a quick evaluation of his behavior and within minutes had him responding to her commands. I saw her house and the large yards where he could play, the safe, covered (read "guaranteed cool in the summer") shelter and the calmness with which he greeted her other well-behaved dogs after a quick check from her. I saw him behaving well for the first time in my life - and obediently listening for commands. Basically I knew immediately I'd found a better place to board him. Here is my situation, after having G'Day's services for almost a year: I no longer feel guilty planning vacations which involve flying or international travel where he cannot go. He loves Carol's house - and is ALWAYS exhausted from playing when I get him back. When I go to pick him up, he's usually playing outdoors with the other dogs; other times she has him indoors ready for me. If it is a long trip, he even responds to my commands much better...at least for a little bit until I've undone all of her hard work with my lousy parenting! But that's my problem. I am also a customer of G'Day's daily dog-walks. Something that makes me feel much more comfortable working late hours. The G'Day team definitely takes good care of the dogs. They obviously love what they do - and know each animal personally. I am really really glad I found them! read more

Frolic has been amazing - we wouldn't trust our dogs with anyone else. We have very young, energetic dogs. They require a lot and are a handful, so we decided to train with Carol, she is an expert, and thanks to everything we learned with her, we now enjoy our pups more than ever. Frolic always treats them as their own and goes the extra mile to reinforce training and other positive behaviors. Having tried a number of other services, Frolic is much more personalized and positively helps our dogs grow. We cannot recommend anyone more - Frolic was a game changer for us & our family. read more

We love Frolic! We've utilized both walking services multiple times a week for some time now and also had overnight stays for our dog Cass and it has been seamless. Cass loves all her walkers which is always a sign that Frolic and team are doing an amazing job. The only reason we no longer will be a part of the Frolic family is that we're moving overseas. Hopefully we find a team as wonderful as Frolic in Australia! Big thanks to Noah and Morgan for treating Cass so well. We will miss you!! :-) read more

Carol and her team are EXCELLENT. She is straightforward and pragmatic when it comes to animals. No "treat every second" nor "shocks and prongs" either. It's simple, yet effective dog psychology at work. We first came to Carol with behavior issues for our three pups. After just a single session, they all improved dramatically. Walks are no longer high stress and the barking calmed down considerably. It was like magic! Since we had such a great experience with Carol, we decided to use her boarding services. What a great decision! Conveniently located near the airport, it's easy to drop the dogs off right before a flight. Our dogs aways come back from there happy and drama free. I can't recommend Frolic's services enough. read more

Frolic sponsored a yappy hour at my apartment building in September and I won a $50 gift certificate in a drawing. When a friend tried to use the gift certificate because I couldn't, they wouldn't honor it even though it had not expired and didn't say it was non-transferrable. My call and FB message were not returned. read more

Extremely happy with these peeps. We have used them multiple times over the last year to look after two cats while we have been away and each time they have done an excellent job. The staff seem to love what they do and they are super friendly when we get to see them in the building. Plus they post pics of your pets during visits which can be fun to view while away. All in all would totally recommend these folks. read more

We have needed help caring for our dog while the family travels. We asked our vet and she sent us to Frolic. We have been very pleased. Frolic has watched Calvin, our bulldog, for sometimes up to a week on their grounds. He comes back healthy and happy. Carol and her staff understand dogs. We've always been confident Calvin was in good hands. Recently we were just going to be gone from 10am on one day to 3pm on the next day. So instead of taking Calvin in, we asked for Frolic to visit Calvin for dinner and a walk, followed by breakfast and a walk the next morning. We were really pleased with the detailed notes for both visits including fun comments about Calvin and that fact that they watered our garden and brought in packages from the front porch. Totally unique - top quality. read more

We usually had friends cat-sit in our NYC apt, but we didn't have any friends when we moved to Seattle! We were traveling over the holidays just a few weeks after relocating & the Frolic team were the angels that helped us out. Many cat sitters in Seattle were not taking new clients over the holidays & Frolic magically fit us into their busy schedules. Our cat used to be clingy and needy after we went away on trips, but no more! She loves the attention from the Frolic team so much, I don't think she misses us at all. They are also wonderful when she needs medication. They are so professional, sending adorable photos & details about their visits so we know exactly how our pet is doing. I recommend Frolic to everyone! read more

We've been taking our pup to Frolic for a little over a year now off and on, and I can honestly say that we could not be happier with their service. Everyone there seems to really enjoy what they do and my pup just loves to see everyone when she arrives. Carol is such a great and trustworthy professional and her team is so sweet and attentive to our little girl. I always feel great about their care each and every time. Highly recommend. read more

I used to rely on a pet-sitting business that was a little too relaxed for me. I'd contact them to see if anyone was available to watch my furry baby and they would respond 3-4 days later. I would send carefully worded emails about the pet-sitting dates I needed, and they would show up a week early. It was always painful to make sure someone was available and we were all on the same page. Frolic is a breath of fresh air! I've made appointments via their website and over the phone and they are professional, punctual, and friendly. They've done a great job looking after my cat, which relieves my mind so much while I travel. They have this business down to a science from the intake form you fill out on their website, to the daily log sheets left by the sitters, and the social media posts that allow you to follow your pet's progress. Thank you Frolic! read more

Great dog walking service, whenever I have a change to my schedule or an issue with my dogs they are very quick to respond to my messages through the app. Only challenge I've had so for after using them for a few months is consistency, I tend to get a new dog walker at least once a week. They have been great on helping train my dog to not lunge at other dogs, which she has had an issue with her whole life. My walkers are very vigilant of my dogs and will notify me if they notice anything off about them which is greatly appreciated since one of them is a senior. read more

Not sure why they market themselves as a dog daycare as they're not like any of the other daycares I've come across. They are dirty indoor kennels with a yard that smells of pee. Staff are rude. Very questionable morals and dog handling techniques. Would only send my dog here if they had behavioral issues/ illness and no other daycare in Seattle was suitable or would accept my dog. Their special needs care is Frolic's saving grace. read more

I wish I could give Frolic more than five stars! We have a rescue lab mix who can be a little leash reactive in tight spaces. Having only recently welcomed our pup home a few months ago, picking a daycare service was a big decision as we wanted to make sure she got the love and attention needed while we traveled for work. Our trainer recommend frolic and we could not be more thrilled!! Each team member that we've met has been patient and doting with our pup and it makes a huge difference knowing she is in good hands the next time we have to travel!! I can't imagine going with anyone else in Seattle! read more

This is the first time I have used Frolic Pet Services. Love that they send pictures and reports with every visit of my pet. I could tell from the photos (while I was gone) that the cat was happy and when I came home that the cat was never stressed out and doing well! I have recommended already to several people for dog care and walking! GREAT JOB Frolic, will be contacting before my next trip! read more
