Your animals of all sizes and behaviors are in good hands with her. I have a 4 year old bully mastiff mix. He's generally good with people as long as his owner is there and he is not rushed into friendship. Lol Upon meeting him she gave him time time at his own pace to get comfortable with her and got him to voluntarily get into her mobile unit and tub. She gave him a great bath. His ears were cleaned, he smelled great, coat was soft and he was very happy. Cassie's deserves 5 stars not only because of her gentle approach with my dog and good service but also because she was very flexible scheduling our appointment and even was patient with me being late for our appointment from a class I had that ran late. I also enjoyed talking with her about animal behaviors, temperament and different breeds. Additionally Her mobile bath business and equipment were clean and well maintained. I'll be having her return to groom both my dogs and happy to find someone on the first experience that's mobile, reasonably affordable, provides good service and that personally like. Thanks Cassie!

So glad we found Bayside Animal Lodge! We just moved to WA a few months ago and our Rotties were…read morestressed out and hadn't been comfortable with their surroundings in the two months we'd been here already. We looked at a few doggy lodges and felt that Bayside was a nice place and the staff were playful with our dogs. Not only that, they were very clean and the facility did not smell (very important!). Also, their prices are fair compared to other places that we've seen or tried. Since we found Bayside, our pups have been visiting every 2-3 weeks and they love it every time! Even during the COVID restrictions, Bayside was there for them. Our Rotties love to socialize and going to Bayside provides the environment we want for them. The staff is warm and welcoming and we can tell how much they enjoy having our giant spoiled Rotties there. We've used their grooming services and their groomers do a great job and provide a report afterwards on their condition and needs. Love that! After doggy vamp, our pups come home like dead weights. They barely make it to bed because they had oodles of fun at Bayside!

My dog came home after a week's stay without stress and seemed happy! Staff were kind and attentive.read more

I have had an absolutely fantastic experience with Rashelle. I am working with two puppies of…read moredifferent breeds, each with their own temperaments and needs, and the support I've received has been incredible. The training sessions have been going very well, and her instructions and feedback are always clear. I can see progress every day with my puppies. I really appreciate that she steps in to help correct an error when necessary, but also takes the time to observe what you are doing first. She evaluates whether it is something that truly needs her input, something you can correct yourself, or simply a one-time mistake, which makes the learning process for me better since I am also able to catch my own mistakes and get assistance when needed. Rashelle has also been extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. What I appreciate most is her ability to truly listen, not just to what we think we want, but to what we are actually trying to achieve. I often came in with a clear idea of what I thought we needed, and she took the time to ask thoughtful questions about our ultimate goals. Through those more in-depth conversations, she was able to better understand our family's needs and find the most effective training approach, often offering alternate or better solutions that made more sense for our dogs and our lifestyle.

The training experience that my dog and I received with Alphacademy was wonderful and really helped…read moreme develop a more well rounded understanding of how to strengthen my relationship with my dog. We signed up for obedience training with Rashelle and found her very personable and knowledgeable. She was the second trainer that we tried and was a complete 180 from our first training experience, which had emphasized dominance and fear based techniques, something that really didn't work well for us. When we worked with Rashelle, I found she had a realistic approach but was also conscious of maintaining the presence of patience, kindness, and compassion from me towards my dog . She listened to my concerns and made me feel heard. My dog and I have a much better relationship now and I incorporate the concepts she's taught us into many aspects of our day to day training and living. Thanks Rashelle!

This will probably end up in the "not recommended" review because that seems to be where all the…read moregood reviews are.. but I will try anyways. I've never boarded my dogs before and was very worried. I have one husky mix with separation anxiety and the other is dog aggresive to strange dogs. Dog sitters were not an option and I couldn't stick my dogs in a kennel. I don't exactly remember how I stumbled on Peninsula Pet Lodge, but I saw the suites and contacted them via email to see if they would take my "special needs dogs." They said the Gig Harbor location would be the best bet with the suites. When time got closer to book, Joie contacted me via email that Olalla would be the better location now that they have suites and are better prepared for dogs with needs. We toured the facility and booked it. Today while trying to see if they accepted checks before I picked up my boys I saw all the negative yelp reviews and got worried. (I did not see the "not recommended" positive reviews.) When I got there the woman at the desk was great, she went into detail about my boys stay including that they tested my aggresive dog in a small group and he did great. The one dog was actually upset to leave and pouted in the car. I couldn't have been more relieved to see my dogs geninuly happy. The only thing that I am taking off 1 star for is when I dropped my dogs off the woman asked a coworker to bring my dogs to the porch while they cleaned the suite, and when I went back with the one dog while she had the other, the woman bringing them back started screaming at my 2 year old that she couldn't come past a certain point. My 2 year old went into a panic for me and thw woman screamed more at her because she didn't know if the other (caged) dog was child friendly. Which wasn't relevant because my daughter didn't even care about the dog, only being next to me. My daughter is only 2, she was confused and scared why a stranger is telling her that she can't be with her mom. My daughter has been taught never to touch strange dogs, which I understand the lady doesn't know that, but she didn't hand it well and that made me lose it on her.

I walked in and the place smelled terrible. The facility is very worn and dirty. The single staff member, Melody, was the only good thing in the whole situation.

They made no note of this and did not mention it. Took her to the vet and was diagnosed with a parasite. Emailed the owners and facility to advise and request reimbursement. Radio silence from them. DO NOT BOARD HERE!
