I couldn't leave him in the house alone while at work because he would (literally) make himself sick with worry. Connie welcomed us as new clients and, as she is a generous, wonderful person, we became fast friends. She has steadily been there for me and my Hubie over the years. Weekdays, weekends, overnights, in a pinch at times with little notice... sending me cute pictures throughout the day of my boy, feeding him, giving him medicine when needed, taking him to the groomer, going on little walking adventures, giving him a little brush 'n fluff from time to time... I even moved back east and she still couldn't get rid of me! When I come back to Olympia periodically for my current job, I bring Hubie simply because I know he misses her. Connie has enriched both our lives and I'm so happy to call her a dear friend.

Definitely recommend!

Any behavioral issues that come up with my GSD puppy, he lets me know right away and tells me how we can work on it. I'm so thankful to have Andy just a text or phone call away. There's no other person I would trust as much as Andy with my baby for daycare or overnight stays. Highly recommend.

I have two young Siamese cats that have not had the option to be very social (they are scared of people other than me and my husband). Deanna took the time to come over twice to meet and interact with them before taking care of them while we were gone. These extra visits, at no charge, ensured that she and our boys were comfortable with each other enabling Deanna to care for them while we were gone. She did not want to accept the job without ensuring that our pets would be comfortable, happy and safe! While gone we received daily pictures and updates as to how the boys were doing. This helped us to not miss our "kids" so much. Deanna came daily and checked the house to make sure the boys were not getting into things that they shouldn't and that nothing was wrong in the house. It was a huge relief to have someone taking care of them and keeping an eye on the place. She also took the garbage out on garbage day and vacuumed up the litter around the boys' boxes! Deanna provides such an outstanding service; you can tell that she truly loves pets and her job. The value for having Deanna come to your home to care for your pets in their own environment is invaluable. Her fees are much better than boarding fees in the Oly/Lacey area and as I said your pet gets to stay in its own home! What could be better than that?!?! The only down side is that I think my boys miss her more than they missed me! :-) Honestly, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would.

It can be hard finding a pet sitter for small animals, so I was thrilled to find out that Deanna…read morewas knowledgeable about and willing to care for my two guinea pigs. She did an awesome job caring for them, and when I came home a day earlier than anticipated, their cage and the surrounding area were clean, and they had plenty of hay, pellets, and water even though she had not come by yet that day. Her rates are very reasonable, too! I highly recommend her no matter what kind of pet you need taken care of while you're away from home.

Also, very weirdly she didn't want to return my keys and needed to go on a bike ride when I returned. Left my keys under her doormat at midday she was in for the night.

She has been 100% reliable, trustworthy, kind, easy to work with, and wonderful with our cat Greta. We found Barbara through Yelp when we first moved to Olympia and needed a weekend of cat-sitting in a somewhat expedited fashion. Barbara was really easy to book with and, from the first meeting, we could tell that she was a keeper. She genuinely loves kitties and so thoughtfully brings our cat new toys and treats (after checking with us that it's okay) when she comes. She is communicative in all the right ways (she sends pics of your happy kitty!), and I know my cat is safe and happy in Barbara's care.

I was a long-time customer of Friendly Grove and trusted them with my dogs for years…read more Unfortunately, that trust was broken after a grooming appointment where one of my doodles came back unable to walk. My husband had to physically carry him out of the vehicle. When I contacted the business, I spoke with Maddy at the front desk, who reassured me that my dog had not sustained an injury while in their care. However, I was not present and was never shown any video footage or documentation to support that claim, which left me with serious concerns about what actually happened. Months later, I received a brief email asking me to update my information in their portal. I responded honestly and shared how unsettled I still felt about the previous incident. Shortly after, a staff member called and said they would be happy to schedule grooming appointments for my dogs since they hadn't been in for a while. However, when I arrived to pick them up, I was told that my dogs were not actually scheduled for grooming but that they "accommodated them anyway." I was then informed that Friendly Grove would no longer be grooming dogs at all. The entire interaction felt incredibly confusing and dismissive, and it came across as though they were simply trying to push us out as customers. They offered a $120 credit for that service and essentially told us to find another groomer. My dogs had been going there for years, and $120 doesn't even cover the cost of a single grooming service. After years of loyalty, the lack of transparency, accountability, and communication was extremely disappointing. I expected far better treatment from a place we trusted with our pets for so long.

My dog, Emilou, has been walked by Matt at Oly Dog Walkers many times and absolutely loves him. He's great at acknowledging every dog's unique personality and individualizes every walk based on Emilou's needs - she loves slow walks that involve staring at cats for extended periods of time;) They are even accommodating to last minute arrangements. There are times when I had to go out of town and literally called them up at 7pm the night before and they've watched my dog. I don't know what I would do without them! There support of animal rescues is the true reason I love this business so much! I've never heard of a pet sitting business giving discounts for rescue animals and I love the idea! They've even donated money to a rescue when I referred my friend to them - how cool is that?! Finally, I want to say that everyone there is 100% trustworthy both with my dog and with access to my home. It can be scary handing your keys over to a stranger to come into your home when your not there but Oly Dog Walkers can be completely trusted and I've never once had an incident where they've over stepped a boundary. Overall, I would highly recommend Olympia Dog Walkers. I've had such good experiences with them that I just cant say enough good things!
