From the very beginning, Tim and Keiko were incredibly responsive and professional. They took the time to meet with us in person beforehand to make sure it was a great fit and to fully understand what we needed to feel comfortable leaving our home and pets in their care. During our trip, Keiko took amazing care of our golden retriever and two cats, as well as our home. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of our happy, relaxed pets, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. It was clear that Keiko genuinely loves animals. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals. As if that wasn't enough, Keiko even left homemade dog treats in our freezer -- above-and-beyond! We couldn't recommend Fur Babies House and Petsitting more highly. If you're looking for reliable, communicative, and truly caring house and pet sitters, Keiko and Tim are the best. Five stars all the way!

Cosmic Home and Pet was highly recommended to us and lived up to our expectations! Our initial contact was over the phone and after that, was a smooth process of organizing dates and a face to face meeting which all went very well. Brea seemed very easy going and comfortable acclimatizing to our home almost immediately. For the duration of our time away, I received numerous updates, videos and photos via text message. I could tell that my kitties were happy as Brea's photos and videos showed them playing with her, being active etc. Although I missed them like crazy, I was not at all worried about them, which made our vacation more enjoyable. Upon arriving home, everything was well taken care of. The litter box was cleaned, their food station was up to par and our mail was even collected for us. Our keys were returned in a very timely manner. Cosmic Home and Pet was affordable and our experience with them was just excellent. Keep up the amazing work and you will be hearing again from Boots and Whiskey in the near future.

Vickie has even gotten our extremely shy cat to come out and play with her, and he doesn't come out for anyone (not even us sometimes)! It's clear that she cares for our animals and treats them with kindness and love. We highly, highly recommend Vickie to all pet owners in the Central District.

Our pup is always excited when we arrive and we know she has a great time there. This location is incredibly convenient for us and significantly more affordable than other options is Seattle.

Indoor and outdoor space with plenty of shade in the summer, cover in the rain, and heaters in the winter means that pups are comfortable no matter the elements. The staff here are incredible. They get to know you and your dog to a level I've never experienced at a dog daycare. You are part of a family rather than a business, and that's a beautiful thing. I cannot recommend them enough and my dog and I feel blessed to be part of the pack!

I don't know where they find their staff, but they are the nicest, friendliest and most caring team EVER. They are incredibly flexible with changes, and with a little notice will accommodate all your daycare needs. I feel that a good test of whether a dog is happy, is if you pick them up after boarding, and return just a couple days later for daycare. If the pup nearly rips your arm off, in his eagerness to get back in there, I think you have a winner.

Dallana was very patient with her special needs and seemed to really form a connection with both dogs. She even took the younger dog on runs and gave her a bath when she suffered a mild allergic reaction. Dallana's prices are reasonable, and she was very flexible with scheduling changes. She came and introduced herself to us and the dogs before we left town, and we felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her capable hands after our introductions. And she certainly didn't disappoint! I won't be using any other service for pet sitting in the future.

It was a trial just getting the dog to walk to the end of the alleyway before she wanted to go back inside. Thanks to Jem Pet Services, the puppy got over her fears and I was able to actually take her out on walks around the block, which was great! Dallana's assistance didn't stop there -- she also gave me tons of useful advice about how to care for the pup, and showed me lots of tricks that were invaluable in teaching the puppy to behave. She genuinely cares about both the animals and the people, and the prices/scheduling were incredibly reasonable. Jem Pet Services did a great job with such a young puppy, and had tons of patience for such an inexperienced (temporary) pet owner. I'd highly recommend the service to anyone looking :)

But, then I had a better idea and started looking for pet sitters for the day. We found several listed on yelp. Mark was one of our first calls. He was responsive and available. He met us at breakfast briefly to say hello and tell us his plan for the day with Titan and make sure that we all felt comfortable. Titan hit it off with Mark immediately. This is the first time we had ever left Titan with a stranger and we weren't sure how Titan would react. As we pulled away titan didn't even watch us leave as he and Mark were already off to a great start. Mark sent us text pics of their adventure together throughout the day & night and that really made us happy! Mark kept Titan with him and a couple other cute doggies all day and then delivered him to our vacation rental just before we got home. We were cracking up when we found a report card Mark left for Titan with a big red A+ at the top and notes of what they did and how many time he pooped! Lol! To sum it up Mark offers great service, quality care and is very compassionate. We highly recommend Mark.

We were going to be out of the country for a few days, and after touring a dog hospital decided we didn't feel comfortable leaving our puppy more or less locked up in a crate all day. We found Mark via Rover.com and he was able to schedule our meet and greet pretty quickly. After meeting our puppy, it was clear they hit it off, so we booked the stay and enjoyed receiving pictures and updates for each day she was with him (Thursday - Tuesday). I would highly recommend Mark as a sitter, especially for any first time pet parents. He is extremely professional and has the calmest, nurturing disposition... a true pleasure to work with. To boot, our puppy went into heat about a week before we were scheduled to leave the country, and Mark rolled with the punches like a pro. He took amazing care of her and accommodated her being in heat. I would give him 5 stars! As an added bonus, I believe having Khaleesi (our puppy) be part of Mark's pack for daily walking and overnight stays greatly helped calm her energy level down, offer her a stable routine, and priceless socializing. She returned to us calmer, more obedient, and attentive.

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.
