It just occurred to me that I have never left a review for Seattle Canine Solutions. Shame on…read moreme!! Sharon helped me years ago and I still thank her (in my head) every day for teaching me how to be the best 'Pack Leader' to my best friend on four legs... Nola (The Wonder Dog)! Nola rescued me when she arrived at Seatac (from a Texas shelter) back in 2013. It was obvious from the start that my sensitive girl had been through some tough times and I was going to need some help in figuring things out. Sharon was incredible, right from the start! She taught me how to be patient and understand Nola's behavior... and most importantly, how to react and 'check' my own behavior. Sharon taught me so much in such a short period of time. Although Sharon, Nola & I haven't met 'on the regular' in many years, I still call on her when something pops up. I also like Sharon a bunch (as a person) & consider her a good Pal! So... in short, SHARON ROCKS! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be the best Pack Leader they can be... and a little bit more :)

We met with Sharon once and think she is AMAZING! She has invaluable experience and advice, and we…read morecan already tell that she will make a huge difference in our lives and our dogs lives. We adore our pups and see that we can all benefit so much more from positive reinforcement/ training. Our pups have been stressed on our City walks and we are optimistic we can enjoy this and much more with the right tools and training. We just adopted a sweet rescue after losing our much older dog and Sharon is gonna help us and our other sweet dog have fun and be a family. She is that good, we trust her and are going to take all of her suggestions as it means so much to us. Seriously...look at these two... we are lucky that they already love each other...now we just have to ALL be better behaved!

Kristin went above and beyond taking care of our two little sibling tuxedo kittens. We were gone…read morefor two weeks and very nervous about leaving them as it was their first lengthy period of time without us. We got her gps location as well as videos, and photos every day of her playing with them.She even stayed slightly longer than we agreed to whenever she could. We came back to happy and healthy cats. They were certainly loved on while we were gone!! I would hire Kristin again in a heartbeat. The cats even got a Christmas gift!!!

Kristin started taking care of my Golden Retriever puppy Luna when I first brought her home 2.5…read moreyears ago. Kristin is way more than a dog walker - she is a partner in Luna's care, giving me nutrition and other health advice and generally being fully invested my pup's well being. I also board Luna with Kristin when I'm out of town (even if family is available). I know Kristin's standard of care is as high or higher than mine so I don't have to worry about her while I'm away for work or vacation. Luna can't wait to go in to Kristin's house or see her at mine! Bonus is Kristin takes great pictures which fill my heart with joy.

We travel back and forth between two homes and when away from our two boys we receive periodic updates, sometimes with pictures! You can't ask for more than that.

She was able to handle the energy of my…read moreboxer/rhodesian ridgeback in her adolescents and her help with the same fur baby through her geriatric years was indespensable. Charlotte can give shots and medicine with equal comfort and skill as she can exercise the energy out of the most active of young dogs. Charlotte leaves my house in better condition than I leave it. I feel so safe and confident knowing that she is caring for my pets and home. Plus, if she personally isn't available, she has found good care givers in her place.

My dog had regular walks with Cass last year for about 3 months after my dog got injured and was…read moreinstructed to not run anymore until her surgery date. Cass was amazing and attentive to my dog, made sure to let us know if she pooped or not and what the consistency was like. She even asked for a list of commands and tricks so she could practice some mental stimulation which was awesome! She was also more than happy to help us with training when it came to calm greetings, as my dog doesn't really meet with any other strangers at our home. Scheduling walks through Tanya was super easy. The app made everything super seamless, like showing us the route they walked and any comments from the walker. On days that Cass wasn't available, Tanya did try to match us with other walkers on her team but after we did meet and greets I honestly felt that they didn't respect our request to not encourage my dog to jump when greeting. That was a red flag to me, so I haven't exactly met any other walker that I felt comfortable with.

Tanya and her crew have been absolutely wonderful and creative in supporting me and my unique pets!…read moreTanya is super prompt to respond and the app they use is user friendly.

I'd be extremely reticent to trust my dogs to these guys. Found myself the subject of road rage by…read moreone of their employees named Chris. He was speeding through the quiet streets of Queen Anne in a company vehicle right next to the west play field. When I dared to leave my parking space to pull away from the park he sped up from way down the street slammed on his brakes as he approached and the layed on the horn. Then, next to a park full of children he started screaming curse words out the window. When I rolled down my window to ask what his problem was he gunned the gas like he was going to crash into me and then slammed on the breaks again. This guy is clearly unbalanced. I would not trust him with my dog or the keys to my house.

As first time dog owners we were a bit nervous handing our 8 week old pup over to anyone. Kelley…read moreput those fears to rest! Firstly, Kelley is extremely professional and even came to meet us and our dog before taking us on. She helped us take care of our pup when she got sick and even took stool samples for us to the vet since we are both at work during the day. She has been able to handle all sorts of emergencies when our dog was suddenly sick with a stomach bug and when her nose got bitten playing at the park (not Kelley's fault! Dogs are dogs after all). Kelley has also been super flexible when our schedules change and she has even dog sat for us last minute! I know for sure Kelley is the best because whenever we bump into her on the street with our dog, our dog goes absolutely bonkers. Sometimes I think she gets more excited to see her than us! Kelley is the best and I highly recommend her services. You and your dog will not be disappointed!

We've had the fortune of being able to have Mary take our pup, Buttercup, on walks for the past…read morefive years. Mary has always been on time and very communicative - texting us when she's on her way to pick up Buttercup and also sending us pictures of Buttercup on her park adventures with her friends. Buttercup has also spent some time on overnights at Mary's home when we've gone out of town on trips and she has such a blast! Mary truly takes care of Buttercup as if she's her own pup. We're really sad that we can't teleport Mary over to us on the East Coast so that she can continue walking Buttercup. Maybe one day!

Classes are so expensive. $275. For 5 classes of nose work (not private but with up to 8 people…read moreand their dogs taking turns in the training room one at a time). So approx. 15 mins instruction and training per dog. Class is 1.5 hrs. My roommate paid for the series of classes.. and unplanned she ended up in the hospital Emergency Room and had to have emergency orthopedic surgery. She texted and left a VM that she wouldn't be attending the classes the night before class started and asked to Be refunded the $275. They told her said NO to a refund.Too bad if you have an emergency. Our class isn't full and we couldn't fill the spot. But we will let you pay another $137.50 to sign up for another series in the future. So they kept the initial $275. And my roomie paid another 137.50 to be able to take said classes once she's all healed up and can walk again. They gave her a credit of 137.50 if she signed up to take the classes again. If she didn't there is no refund!! So that is 412.50 for 5 classes at approx 15min of ins time each week. So that ends up being a hour and 1/2 of instruction for 412.50. Holy Crap!! A huge rip off and absolutely crap business management for Dogs day out. Ok and my roomie has worked in the dog business in W Seattle for over 30 yrs and has referred dozens of dogs to this establishment over this years. She is going to take the classes that she paid 412.50 for so she isn't out the full amount she paid. But what a huge crock of doo doo. A poor business rule and my god she had to have emergency surgery. I know for a fact she will never refer another client to them or ever return to Dogs Day out for any classes herself. If I were her I'd also let my dog clients who she's referred to this biz about this if it comes up in convo. About this practise. Whatever happened to professional courtesy between biz owners in the same dog world. Or compassion when they end up having emergency surgery. I for one am really floored by this experience my roomie is going through!!!

Evergreen Paws is a complete life saver! I can't thank Marie, the owner, and Kennedy, our walker,…read moreenough for making sure our sweet girl gets walked, played, and loved while we're at work! A few highlights of why I picked Evergreen Paws over other services in the area for my golden retriever Belle: - Same walker every session, which is a huge plus in terms of Belle getting to know the same person, and me being aware of who's coming in and out of my apartment. - Walk options; I'm a big fan of the 60-min trail walk, which really tires Belle out. They also have quick potty break options, shorter walks, and dog park trips. - Play time! Our walker brings her dog to walk Belle sometimes (okayed by us) - which is not only great outdoor time for Belle to walk with a buddy, but awesome socialization for her, too. - Easy to communicate with Marie & our walker; I love how easy the mobile app is to use. I use it all the time to communicate with our dog walker in case I left the lease in a weird spot in the apartment, or if there are maintenance people in our unit, etc. I've never waited longer than 30 minutes (or less!) without a response back. - Dog walk reports! This is my FAVORITE part. I get photos of Belle after her walk (literally what gets me through the work day!!!), as well as a report of where she got walked, if she pooped/peed/got a treat/ etc. It's a real peace of mind. THANK YOU THANK YOU! I don't know how life was before Marie & Kennedy. Two golden paws up!
