She's so attentive to dog needs and always is there if you need anything. We moved far away from Seattle and we still reach out to Amanda to have our dog boarded. She is like our dogs surrogate mom. Definitely cannot recommend her enough!

Dog parks allow Henry to release a much different kind of energy just than walking. Amanda places dogs in "packs" based on size, energy level, and play style. He loves getting to see his dog friends once a week. Amanda also accommodates our ever changing schedules and if a work meeting occurs during pick up she will come into our apartment and get Henry! Henry gallops to her and squeaks with excitement every time she sees her letting me know he is so excited for his weekly adventure. The pups are out for 4-5 hours each time and extremely tired when they get back. This service has been a game changer for us.

My sweet dog is obsessed with Erika and the crew of dogs she cares for. They have the best time on their walks together and playing at various dog parks in the city. He waits eagerly by the door at the same time every day waiting for her pick up. Erika is very kind, professional and reliable. I love all the photos she takes too! I know my dog is in the best hands and I highly highly recommend her!

We came to Seattle for my cousins wedding. Usually our ESA Titan-Dan goes with us everywhere and we…read morehad planned on taking him to the wedding with us. 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.

Thank God I was able to find Mark because he made my boyfriend and I feel so at ease leaving our…read more11-month old German Shepherd puppy for the first time. 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.

Rhi has been a second mother to my pup since he was about 5 months old…read more He is a high energy dog that mere daily walks or even weekend hikes was not going to satisfy by a long shot. Getting him out to the park and into the water on a regular basis has allowed me to rest assured that he is getting the activity and socialization a large active dog needs when they are young. On a human note, Rhi has been generous and flexible and worked around our crazy schedules to explicitly make our lives easier in times when we needed care as much as our animals did. Overall a fantastic experience working with her and I think that everyone should entrust her with their pooches care. For both their dog's sake and their own.

Sirius Pet Care is a great, independently-owned dog-walking and boarding company. They also do cat…read moresits at your own home. From what I have seen, they are a lot more personal and loving to their clients' pets than a lot of the other companies tend to be. What's more is they are priced very competitively. If you are looking for someone to take your dog to the park on a regular or semi-regular basis and/or you need boarding for your dog while you are out of town, or you need someone to take care of your cat while you are away, I would SERIOUSLY recommend SIRIUS Pet Care. I mean, the name alone is brilliant... (The Dog Star is called Sirius, right...? Brilliant.)

We got her gps location as well as videos, and photos every day of her playing with them.She even stayed slightly longer than we agreed to whenever she could. We came back to happy and healthy cats. They were certainly loved on while we were gone!! I would hire Kristin again in a heartbeat. The cats even got a Christmas gift!!!

Kristin is way more than a dog walker - she is a partner in Luna's care, giving me nutrition and other health advice and generally being fully invested my pup's well being. I also board Luna with Kristin when I'm out of town (even if family is available). I know Kristin's standard of care is as high or higher than mine so I don't have to worry about her while I'm away for work or vacation. Luna can't wait to go in to Kristin's house or see her at mine! Bonus is Kristin takes great pictures which fill my heart with joy.

Debbie has always been helpful in finding qualified alternates when she wasn't available for a last minute request. We have used Pampered Pooch for a few overnights.

She leaves a post-walk note on how the walk went, what other dogs were along, updates on #1s and #2s, and any other pertinent info. Her service saves me from rushing home after work, and even allows me some "free time". She is very accommodating of schedule changes, too. I fully trust her with my dog, and with entering my home when I'm not there. We love the photos of Tater and her posse that Debbie posts on Facebook and Instagram. Tater is so much happier and less anxious after she's had a walk with Debbie. Plus, it encourages nap time!!

Zen Dog takes AMAZING care of my critters! Jen is my main dog walker and she is an absolute PRO…read more Her dog walk reports and photos are the most entertaining part of my workday. Truly! Even when Jennifer is unavailable, my little poofs get walked by another person from the staff and I'm always shocked at how much I like the rest of the team too (because I am very attached to Jen!!!). They have all been so clearly skilled and passionate about pups and my critters always look like they're having a good time with them in the photos. I couldn't recommend this company enough. Besides the amazing people who walk the dogs, this company also has features that make me feel secure -- like the gps map of where the dog walkers went with my pups and a timestamp of when they started and ended. They're also bonded and insured. And they're easy to reach if I have questions about services and invoices and whatnot. Here, I'll add a picture of what the dog walk reports look like --

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.
