What a fun shop! I have visited their previous two locations and this one is my favorite so far…read more Tucked away in a corner of downtown Kirkland but conveniently located near the Heathman Lodge and other high interest points. I love how The Whole Cat and Kaboodle provides adoptions for cats, in addition to grooming treatments, cat boarding, and a bit of retail. This is the perfect place to bring a kid who want to interact with cats and are open to coaching from the adult that brings them. I overheard you can pay for an hour of play and self-serve drinks in the cat room. If you're short on time there are cats who roam the shop, but if you have littles I highly recommend coaching them how to approach a cat prior to coming into the store. Street parking is available as well as pay-per-hour lots. We brought our two tuxedo cats for a nail trim. They are newly adopted and we were unsure how they would do with a full grooming service. Our cats did great! Thank you for such a stress free and fun experience.

Your hour to play with cats comes with free drinks and they limit each session to 10 ppl so it never feels crowded. The cats are adorable and obviously well cared for. There's info on adoption and the shop is stocked with all the cute things you need to care for a cat. The cat play area does have that distinct smell that all animal places have - not a bad smell but definitely like a urine + cleaner smell that's not my favorite. All the boarding places I use to take my dog to smell like that too so must be the cleaner they use? The employees are always welcoming and friendly, and there's never any pressure to adopt - except from my kids! One day...

This is a long awaited review for Dogtopia in the Overlake area of Bellevue. I had my little Rocco…read morein their care for a few weeks. Generally I had been satisfied with their care. However there came a day when their care didn't meet my standards. Rocco is a toy Yorkie; he's very small. In fact, was the smallest dog in their small dog area. On the particular day in question, I noticed via their webcam that at least one, maybe two other dogs, were bullying him. I did not care for the lack of quick resolve for this, and I had communicated it. I believe it was the same day or nearly the same day, I observed the same in person. Upon giving their staff my concerns, he was shortly thereafter dismissed from daycare. After receiving a barrage of cancellation emails from Dogtopia, their owner had the audacity of emailing me instead of just calling. She provided a very passive aggressive letter, cc'ing different people as well. Rather than taking responsibility, she decided to kick him out of daycare. This was unacceptable, and I had responded a few days following the receipt of her email. You can find her email in full below: ------ Dear Mr. Marker: Rocco is a wonderful dog, and we have truly loved having him in our playrooms. It troubles me to hear, however, that you are unhappy with our services. Given your dissatisfaction with our open-play design, with our approach to safety, and with our staff, we believe that another care environment may be a better match for you. We emphatically want every family to feel confident and comfortable in their daycare choice. As your clearly displayed displeasure demonstrates, we are evidently not the right fit for you and thus we are unlikely to meet your expectations in the long term. We will miss Rocco, but we genuinely hope you find a daycare or care arrangement that aligns with what you're wanting. We wish you both the very best. Wishing you joy, Allison Christian Rau, owner Dogtopia of Redmond and Dogtopia of Bellevue Phone: Redmond (425) 201-7373, Bellevue (425) 516-7676 Website: Redmond | Bellevue ----- All that had to be done was an acknowledgment of my concerns, in the moment, and a greater level of attentiveness. This business clearly doesn't respond well to criticism. They opted for the easy way out instead of just working through the issues. I had no issues with their "open-play design"; it was their level of attentiveness. Rocco was not the aggressor here, rather it was the slightly larger dogs in their care. Unfortunately, I must advise you, the reader, that if you have a small dog, I would not recommend this daycare as a result of my experience.

We recently adopted a rescue dog, Orzo, and discovered Dogtopia which recently opened in Bellevue…read more When were first debating on using Dogtopia, we were provided a thorough tour - comparable to a daycare tour. We have been pleased bringing Orzo here 2x a week so far even though my husband and I both work from home. When Orzo comes back, he is SO tired so we know he's had a full day of play with other dogs. This has helped him with his chewing problem at home when we aren't able to exercise him the amount he would prefer. Everybody we have encountered at Dogtopia knows and loves Orzo. We attended a pride event in Downtown Bellevue and when he got to the Dogtopia stall, he recognized everybody and vice versa. This was only after a couple of months of going to Dogtopia. So far, the staff have been responsive to emailing and calling us back when we have inquiries. They also have grooming and boarding services, which we've utilized. Easy parking for drop off and pick up and flexible if we ever need to switch dates. Unlimited webcam access when they are at the doggy daycare so you can see what they are up to. Can't ask for more!

Here is our story... We were in the process of buying a home, anyone who has purchased a home,…read moreknows there will probably be some delays. We are a family of 5 with a 10 month old rottweiler... And we were HOMELESS. we had no where to go until the paperwork was done... We were out of options, hotels don't want rottweilers.. Too "dangerous".. I was DESPERATE... After yelping and a few phone calls, I called these guys. Let me say... The woman who answered the phone was just marvelous. I was at my wits end. Panicking.. My husband and I haven't slept in a couple days. Living separately for a couple of days.. My poor puppy was on edge.. I didn't know what to do. The woman I spoke with eased my spirit in more ways than she could ever know. A half hour later... After getting his shot records we drove to Bothell... At first.. I was skeptical, mostly because I've never been away from my puppy... My husband took him in. Had a mini tour. Purchased extras. Walking. Play time.. Blankie and meat and rice. We were relieved... He was safe... We could stay in the hotel and sleep... Until our paperwork was signed. We were without my pup for 4 days.. We called daily and was given a report on him, I felt like a bad dog mom. Finally. My puppy came home... And he was HAPPY. he got bigger and was less aggressive now than when he went in for boarding. I am so happy that I found this place. My puppy is happy and was safe while we figured out our paperwork.. I am entirely GRATEFUL for this place for giving me peace of mind and HELP when I needed it the most. THANK YOU!

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.
