    I've been a loyal WNDP member since 2019. I work a ton and daycare is a lifesaver for me and my girl Lucy. They treat her well, have never had any issues, and are always able to accommodate my work schedule with early drop offs and late pickups. I have recommend them to friends over the years as well.

    Brought my dog here for a short time in 2020 and can confidently say I am glad I never returned. The employee:dog ratio was absurd -- one employee made a snarky remark about my dog refusing to go potty inside the facility and would "wait to go outside", as if my dog being potty trained was an inconvenience. WNDP and WNLP both absolutely stink of urine. The straw that broke the camel's back was my dog getting kennel cough from the facility, my coworker whose dog goes to daycare on completely separate days ALSO got kennel cough. We reported this to employees, yet Wet Nose Dry Paws made no effort to inform/warn other customers about Kennel Cough spreading around their facility. Not to mention, the animal neglect and lack of safety for both animals/their employees is astounding and well-documented. Placing animals on "kennel arrest" for days on end is never appropriate. Feeding animals less so they would make "less mess in their kennel" is absurd. Would not recommend. If you love your pet, bring your pet somewhere else.

    Signed up for a grooming appointment for my aussie skylar first time doing it at wet nose and last time same goes for I won't board my dogs here anymore either. Email said it would be a 12:00 pm to 1:45 pm appointment. By 2:35 I hadn't heard anything back from wet nose dry paws so I called. No answer and no answering machine which is odd. Called again no answer. called one more time no answer. so I drove down from my house in gig harbor to see in person what was going on since there was no update and no one answered. By the time I get there I ask how skylar was they told me she still had a hour left. I requested I take skylar now and all they had done in 3 hours is a bath and a blow dry. Literally a joke and they charged me full price $74 plus tip lol now I have a clean brushed dog, no trim no deshedding, no nail trim, and a bandana that's still wrapped in plastic still. It's almost laughable. Highly recommend avoiding this place for your grooming needs they were great for boarding but grooming is clearly not what they are good at neither is communication. Devin was the groomer. Please reachout to solve this preferably with a full refund campisikyle@gmail.com

    If I could give zero stars I would. This place kennels dogs for days at a time and under feeds them so that they do not have to take them out for bathroom breaks. They leave one untrained volunteer with up to 15-20 dogs at a time which is highly stressful for the dogs and volunteers and it is highly unsafe for the volunteer on duty. The owner lies to dog owners if a dog is injured in her care. A dog recently had to be euthanized due to the reactivity the dog developed from the mistreatment and neglect of this facility. Protect your animals and do not bring them here! Your dogs are coming home exhausted because they are stressed out and traumatized from being locked in this place; not because they are playing and having fun.

    I've been bringing my dog Taco here since he was 10 weeks old. The staff here has basically been surrogate parents to him. They helped me raise a healthy and happy pup. I love most everything about this place- I live 2 blocks away, so in the rainy months I can hop over and use their indoor dog park and grab a beer while Taco runs around. When I need to board him, they have cageless boarding, which is huge for me because I don't ever want to have to put him in a crate. And they also have a nice stock of healthy food and treats for sale, including CBD products. Thanks Wet Noses!

    Never seen so many animals stuck in cages for hours on end with 1 tiny walk if they are lucky. Dogs dropped weight from 60lbs to 10 in a week. They post all these great lovey photos but they neglect and abuse them with long lasting effects. I've seen how it's affected one personally and with other people hearing they had the same problems and sought immediate medical attention from their vet because of the shape of their animal. Don't be fooled by their social media, it's ruined so many animals and more than I wish to comprehend their demise. Go elsewhere! Have to give a 1 in order to leave this

    A year ago, I would have laughed and rolled my eyes at someone if they told me that their dog was in daycare. When we got our pup, we realized quickly that she is way more energy than our older dogs can tolerate. I am now a total advocate of Doggie Daycare. I anticipated that our pup would come home well exercised and we would get a break to focus on work but it's also helped with socialization, manners, and separation anxiety. She's much better on our walks, around the house, and with other dogs. The staff there really adore dogs. I love peaking in on the live webcams to see how they are doing and seeing the Instagram posts and stories. Our pup loves going there... I can't get the leash off of her fast enough when we arrive. They also have cute events for holidays and birthdays. Last of all, I like that it's an all in one shop. I can schedule to have her groomed, give her a quick bath myself, board her, and buy her favorite treats all as part of her day. The weekend dog parks with beer has got to be a great perk as well (that I haven't tried yet).

    I picked my dog up from Wet Noses Dry Paws doggie daycare today and found a shock collar around his neck. This type of treatment was never discussed with me in writing or in person. Please be careful with your fur baby as this business is not honest nor transparent when it comes to how they are caring for your pet. :( Ps. The collar shown below is labeled with the letter H which leads me to believe they have an entire alphabet of shock collars. :(

    I started bringing my pup to WNDP at the suggestion of a coworker. Initially, I was unsure because I live in Sumner, and I work in Tumwater. WNDP is not on the way, and during rush hour it is quite out of the way. However, my pup seems to love his friends at WNDP. I stalk the cameras more than I care to admit, and my dude is always playing and the other dogs seem happy. The staff is always kind, and incredibly patient with me (I know I'm a high maintenance owner). I have used the grooming services, and I am equally happy with that. Also, some of the best pictures I have of my pup have come from WNDP. I'm so happy to have found this little gem, and WNDP has raised my standards for any other daycare options in the future.

I mostly ended up here because I heard that the sequoia tree is the largest outside of Cali (trunk measured from chest height). I don't know if that's actually true, but it's a really lovely tree and I found a Monkeyshine, which makes it even better! This is a great place to stop by to get some fresh air!

I've been here a couple times... despite living fairly close to it but I usually prefer the parks on the waterfront more. I participate in the Tacoma Rocks movement which is a group of people in town which paint and decorate parks all year around and hide them in Easter egg fashion for kids and adults to find... and hopefully to rehide but if they love them it's fine to keep. You don't have to stick just to rocks and this past Easter weekend I hid rubber Easter ducks for kids to find in this park as well as painted rocks. I announced in the group on Facebook and could tell that the rocks and ducks were found quickly from the response I got. There are lots of nooks and crannies to hide stuff like this in this park which makes it fun. During monkeyshine season which is around Chinese New Year some people in the community hide handmade glass orbs. I'd love to find one of those... maybe someday in this park?
