At our initial consultation, he gave us advice to keep kitty happy and less lonesome. He put me at ease and confident that our cat was well taken care of, so that we can fully enjoy our vacation. He would send us pictures of her and her cat areas to keep us updated. He was very patient with our shy cat as she eventually came out of hiding and befriended Thomas. Pet Sitters By The Bay will definitely get our repeat business and I have no problem recommending them to any vacationing pet owner.

Then we found Hyline!! She was at Hyline for over a week on the first visit and did fine. No raw nose when we picked her up. She had a private "room" and I paid a little extra for one-on-one attention (tuck-in service!! What!!), and a peanut butter-filled Kong once daily. They sent us photos and updates. She even ate while she was there! Second visit was good, too. She didn't even hang back when it came time to leave her, just went along to her kennel. Pretty surprising, for her! The place is clean and well-kept. They do doggie daycare, too. We appreciated the good service and care for our good old girl!

Yes, her poo would have chemo drugs in it, but it's frankly not that hard to just pick it up. Plenty of dogs are on meds that are excreted in poop. Their operation is a ridiculous cash grab of low lying fruit (easy dogs) using mostly untrained kids to run it. Zero commitment to long term clients. Glad they fired my sweet old girl as I now have my 3 dogs staying somewhere that is actually run by good people that care.

The groomer, Olga, was incredibly knowledgeable about the breed and gave them a perfect trim that suits their playful personality. The facility was spotless, and I was impressed by the safety measures in place. Olga took the time to answer all my questions and made sure the girls were comfortable throughout the process. When I picked them up, all girls looked great but also were very happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Kats and Dawgs Grooming for anyone looking for expert pet care.

From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful--and they were even able to get us in that very morning, which meant so much to us as newcomers. Dr. Zalewa spent an exceptional amount of time with us, never rushed, and was so patient and thoughtful. What really stood out was how genuinely compassionate she was--she even sat on the floor with my pup to help Fran feel comfortable. That kind of care and presence is rare and deeply appreciated. As someone who truly values providers who take the time to listen and connect, I can confidently say we've found our veterinary home. Thank you, Dr. Zalewa and team, for such a wonderful first experience in Bellingham.

This much as obvious as soon as you meet Sarah in her training center--she's passionate about a)…read morethe well-being of all dogs, b) her human clients and maximizing their communication / relationship with their dogs, and c) the art / skill / career of dog training. We already had 2 well-adjusted dogs when we adopted our third, a 7-month old puppy with issues our older dogs never had...so we took the new guy for private training in Sarah's "Fundamentals Program". Sarah spent several hours with us during the initial session (in the evening, so both human parents could be there), getting to know our dog, our concerns, teaching us techniques, literally walking us through drills with a slip lead (since leash reactivity was one of our pup's biggest issues), and observing both of us 'parents' and giving us individual pointers. It wound up being literally life-changing for us and the puppers. Ever watch a YouTube dog training video, or any episode of Cesar Milan, where some out-of-control punk pup is rehabilitated into a responsible canine citizen within the span of a few minutes of screentime, and think 'it'll never work like that with MY dog'? (I have...cuz we were pretty desperate before heading to Naturally Driven K9). Well it's not instantaneous in real-life...but spend a few hours with a kickass trainer like Sarah, and it CAN be that easy to transform the puppers (or your relationship with your puppers) if you're consistent in applying what you've learned. It's not like we weren't trying before, it's just that our pre-Sarah attempts at training him were ineffective. One of the open secrets about Sarah's profession must be that 'dog training' is just as much (if not more) about training the humans. Dog 'parents' can run on the defensive side--so the fact that Sarah teaches us humans in a way that's expert, constructive, but comes across as non-threatening, makes her training so easy to be receptive to. She's clearly studied many different philosophies of dog training (and continues to do so), but she's a dog parent just like the rest of us and seems to have adapted the best aspects of other trainers she's learned from, and her own experience, into her own common sense, effective style. Leash walks used to be dreadful ordeals for us as well as the puppy, and she's given us the tools to make our walks happy and productive instead of loud, stressful, and aggressive. Long way of saying, we love Sarah, and can't thank her enough--the things she's taught us about how to interact with our puppy has improved our communication with the older dogs as well--and by the time we returned for our 1 hour followup session with Sarah only 2 weeks later, it was like we were bringing back a completely different dog. Highly recommend her services.

We did several rounds with her and she "guarantees" her work and says to come back to classes and…read moreshe would keep in touch, but she didn't. We never got anywhere close to where we felt safe with our pups. One dog in our class had the "Hannibal lector" mask on and would lunge at our dog each time she went near. I referred neighbors to her but after classes we felt we had overpaid and was severely under delivered. A nice person but I feel no differently with our dogs after paying over $500 than I did at Petsmart and $100.
