We have used this place for years for our fur baby. Don't know if the staff has changed or what but…read morethe service has gone downhill. Even after filling out forms in their office at drop off, they still messed up our boarding. This place has been trusted with our baby, but now not feeling it. If they can't do simple things as agreed, what is happening behind closed doors out of our sight.

I've done daycare and boarding here with them and my dog was happy and healthy both times! The…read morereason I can't give 5 stars and why I probably won't be returning are just inconveniences on my end: Their meet and greet will expire in 6 months if you do not use their services for that long, and you must repay the fee of $30. The $30 does not get you a free day of daycare like many other facilities. So if you board infrequently (like me) you have to repeat the process everytime. I also think some wording on the website needs to be changed. On the FAQ for boarding, it reads to bring food in a "a re-sealable bag as kibble oxidizes quickly which results in substantial nutrient loss." Most places want the food in something re-seable for the reason stated in the quote, however this isn't the reason I was told at drop off; their reason is due to convenience for the caretakers. What they mean to say is food MUST be *pre-measured* *per meal* and *individually* bagged in ziploc bags otherwise there's a fee. This was not told to me until I dropped off my dog with her sealed food container and measured food cup. They then said it would be a $15 bagging fee. I did receive a text before my dog boarded that I can go over the email about boarding reminders however I never got any emails, my confirmations were done through text with an email receipt sent at the end of her stay. No big deal, I didn't think much of it because I got confirmation/reminder texts of her stay and I had read the website/FAQs multiple times to make sure I did not miss anything. I don't even own ziploc bags because I think it's wasteful and I don't like surprise fees because this information should've been readily available on the website (even if that information was in that missing email). I was about to run down the street and grab a $1 box because my dog was only staying 3 nights, but a different worker than the one checking me in overheard and helped me out, so that was appreciated!

I used Nancy Curlette to petsit my 2 kitties for about 7 years when I lived in University Place…read more She is wonderful! Both kitties required medications and copius amounts of love and attention, daily brushings were mandatory (per the kitties). Nancy was always extremely diligent, trustworthy, reliable and caring. She would give me advice on caring for them and whether she noticed any changes in their habits that might indicate potential problems - very much appreciated. Plus, she kept an eye on my house and made sure my plants were watered & mail picked up. I always returned to a house that was in order and well-fed kitties. I would recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a petsitter - she's the best there is!

From the owner: Since 2006, Curlette's Critter Care has been doing business in Tacoma, Fircrest, University Place,…read moreLakewood, Oakbrook and Steilacoom. We are licensed and insured, specializing in Dog Walking and In Home Pet Care. There are numerous references that can attest to the company slogan, "Your Pet's Are My Concern." Dog Walking is only part of the service we provide. Pet Sitting while you are away, no matter how long that may be, is also a service. Don't think we're limited to dogs...cats are welcome to experience our care too. We want you and your pet's to enjoy your time away from each other. That way all of you are happier when you're re-united:) Pet's that need medication can be cared for also. Geriatric pet's are appreciated and treated with the respect they deserve. It's important to understand their needs after a lifetime of faithfulness. After being with three of my dogs when they departed, I truly understand the loss of a pet. But I know they go to heaven, just ask Dean Braxton:)

**WARNING** & **BEWARE**…read more If you love and care for your pup and its well being, then I urge you DO NOT bring take them here! This place is a DEATH trap! I have taken my pup here on and off consistently over the last 2 years. I have often have had to take breaks from this place due to various incidents. Bites missing patches of hair, and my dog often being extremely hungry and thirsty when returning from there as if he hasn't eaten or had anything to drink at all. Most recently I came to pick up my pup, not knowing they have changed the hours again ( as they often due to lack of employees) to find that my dog was in alone in "isolation" after being attacked and bitten by another dog. A piece of my dogs ear had been bitten off, by what is obliviously a bigger dog, which whom he should have never been left alone with unattended. My pup is a loving, fun and playful 2year old Pug, without an a aggressive bone in his body. They did not notify me of the attack and injury! Although this was an EMERGENCY, in which they allow pick-up, they tried to hide the injury! When I requested to know the details of the injury, they could NOT tell me ANYTHING! They did not have any answer because they were not present when the injury occurred! They could not tell me what happened, or who the attacking dog was. (that would be necessary to know for future stays) but they are completely clueless because they don't watch over the dogs. You drop your pup off and they go in a cage, while the staff goes to stay in a separate area behind the building of where they store the dogs, or they leave! (which I have witnessed They DO NOT watch over the dogs to ensure that there are no incidents! They DO NOT have cameras monitoring your dog while in there care! They take zero preventative measures to ensure your animals safety, despite knowing the various kinds of dogs they keep in there facility. If injury occurs to your animal here; including death, they will tell you" well you signed a liability waiver and this is a open range facility". You will not be granted access to see the inhumane conditions in which they are not caring for your pet or it's well being! Because they are traitorous and beneath most loving pet owners standards. They did not offer any assistance with my $360 vet bill despite my dog permanently having a fraction of his ear missing! They had no care or concern, and turned a blind eye to a loyal customers. Never returned my phone care or showed any concern. The owner ROBERT GRAHAM refused to speak to me to avoid accountability and forced me to talk only to his employee who has no authority or can provide zero resolve. I take partial responsibility knowing the conditions of this place and taking him back despite the previous incidents which occurred in their care that they had no care or concern about! Just pay more and go to a reputable, dog sitter or day care! There are plenty of places! They didn't even bother trying to clean the wound with soap and water and applying antibiotics, they provided zero care! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY for & this place is the cheapest prices around for a reason!!! Don't risk you let's safety and we'll being! All the bad reviews on here are true, this place is the worst and even in 2023 NOTHING has changed possibly only **THISIS THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD POSSIBLY TAKE YOUR PET, IF YOU TAKE YOUR ANIMAL HERE, THEN THEY MUST NOT MEAN MUCH TO YOU, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**

My little mutt was rescued from a shelter and seemed to be abused in her previous life. She is so sweet with us, but unless you are in her circle (which consists of myself, my husband, and my brother-in-law who lives with us), she will growl and bark at you if she catches you even glancing at her. That being said, she LOVES Happy Dog South Sound! Having never boarded my dogs, I had no idea what to expect, but the staff is so incredibly nice, patient, and helpful! I must have called a dozen times before we dropped our dogs off the first time, and then even AFTER the first time for follow-up questions. I am positive that they have caller-ID because when I called after their first visit, they referred to some details that made me think that they knew who I was. Even then, they were so pleasant to work with! NEWCOMERS: How it works is you need to call and schedule a day to take your pup or pups there for an initial "meet and greet." They can only do the meet and greets Monday-Friday when a manager is present, so be prepared for that. Depending on their availability, they can probably take you the next day. I had two dogs and travel for work, so I made the "reservation" a week in advance. You can drop your pup off between 7am and 9am and then pick them up starting at 3pm to I think 7pm. When you arrive in the morning, they will have you fill out some paperwork, and when you are done, they'll take your pup(s) inside and that's it! When you go to pick up your pup(s), they will tell you if your pup(s) passed or not. If so, then you will receive an email to register for their reservation site called Gingr. The site is easy to use! We've since dropped our dogs off for daycare again, and they brought out a credit card machine when I picked up my dogs, so make sure you have your card with you when you go up to the door! The meet and greet is free, so you won't experience this the first time you go.

Mel offered to take him in no questions asked, and make sure he didn't get into (too much) trouble. The resort itself is great, so much room to run around and rest (but mostly run around). Mel put as much love and care into creating the resort that she does into taking care of her pups! She kept in touch with us regularly, sharing pictures, and giving updates. We could tell he was having such a great time! Rates are also super reasonable for the VIP service our pup gets, with a discount for longer stays. We live in Kirkland and while it was a trek down to Rosedale, it was so worth it for our lil dude to have the time of his life! (and he slept for a full week after we picked him up lol) Thanks so much to Mel and team for the paw-some time ar camp!
