Trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate are a few words to describe this team. Kristin - the owner - is gifted with animals, she truly cares and gets to know them. She is observant and has made an effort to patiently work with my pup's less desirable traits. After only a few weeks in her care he was noticeably calmer around other dogs and she shared her techniques with me, even offering to join me on a walk to demonstrate. In addition to offering reliable - and reasonably priced! - walk or vacation care, Dog Star has been a resource for recommendations on all kinds of pet-related situations. Kristin saw us through the loss of one beloved dog with grace and understanding, I don't think we could have done it without her. The whole team seems to genuinely love their work and their work loves them right back, with slobbery kisses!

Xandra at Four Paws did drop-in visits for me during a four-day weekend to care for two cats. It…read morewas a great experience and the cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. To be honest, a lot of the magic is in the client wrangling. The product isn't so much "pet care" as "confidence that your pets are being thoughtfully and attentively cared for by someone that appreciates all their wonderful qualities." There's inherently a certain artifice to the detailed communication, the (high-quality!) photos of gamboling cats, and the kind observations. But boy, I ate it up, and I imagine most other people with pets would too. It's incredibly comforting to know that your animals are in good hands.

The caregivers have always been wonderful, especially more recently when we needed 3 walks in a day during our wedding. We needed someone trustworthy so we wouldn't have to worry about whether there was an issue on a day when neither of us would be available in case of an emergency. Everything went smoothly and Daphne was happy as she could be to have walkers and friends visiting her throughout the day. The update reports and photos are also nice for peace of mind. We wouldn't hire anyone else for dog walks or daytime care. They're excellent and reliable.

She has YEARS of experience and is hands down the first call I would make in West Seattle for any care I may need for my amazing 8 month old Viszla-family member, Peter Parker!

Einat, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about both her customers and her employees--and it shows in the quality of their service. Charlie typically had the same walkers at the same time each week. They were all professional, caring, attentive, and TRUE dog lovers! I loved Strut the Pup's daily walk reports and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of while I was at work. On a few occasions when I was working from home, I watched as his regular walker arrived--Charlie would be waiting at the window and greeted them with full-body wags every time. When Charlie's hips started bothering him as he got older, the team helped me adjust his walks so he could continue enjoying his outdoor adventures. Sadly, Charlie has since passed, but I've saved many of the walk-report photos his walkers took (like this one), and they remain some of my favorite pictures of him. Thank you, Einat and team, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie.

Dahlia is reactive on leash to other dogs and reacts to cats and also has a lot of fears and anxiety but her confidence has grown and she really looks forward to her solo outings with Lacey.

Initially when we moved to West Seattle, I sent Daisy to a more conveniently located daycare. After…read morea few visits, it was noted by my partner who usually never notices the dogs' feelings, that Daisy never quite feels comfortable there. I observed soon after that when I would drop her off, I definitely saw her licking her lips and not look 100% comfortable. Coupled with a staff that seemed inattentive to customers waiting, and would not quite pay attention at drop off, we only went a handful of times. I just started Daisy here at Camp Crockett and she cannot get enough. When we pull up, she starts screaming in the car. When I drop her off, she doesn't even glance back at me! Her wiggly body language to the staff says "HURRY UP, open that door, let me go see my friends!" Daisy is a veteran of multiple different daycares across state lines, so the experience at the other day care came as a surprise--she never disliked any other daycare before. Now that she's at Camp Crockett, I'm comfortable that she's having a blast and feels safe to enjoy herself.
