In Need of a New Dog Sitter!

Hi M.,

Sorry to hear about the problems with the boarding place. If I were you, I'd check with my veteranarian for recommendations for another provider, or check their ad board to see if there are any ads there from sitters.

When you call potential dog sitters, make sure they have references and check them, maybe even do a background check. You don't want some criminal wanted in 3 states coming into your home.

Another source for dog sitter referrals might be your groomer if you have one, and rescue shelters might be another resource for referrals.

There are posts pretty frequently on Craigslist for dog walkers and sitters, but again, ask for references and check them as thouroughly as you can.

Good luck and I hope you find someone soon.

Hi M.,

My mother-in-law works at a great Vet office and they do boarding. It's not too far from Puyallup, just right up at the top of the hill on 410. It's called Lake Tapps Veterinary and is actually in Bonney Lake. They could probably offer advice on other options, too.

Hi M.,

Don't know where you are located, but in the north end there is a lovely lady who loves animals! We have been taking both our dogs, our 1st and 4th children, to her for grooming, one for almost 8+ years, and have been very happy with her care of our animals. She also owns a doggie daycare. The information is below:

Hope this is helpful!

C....I'm a stay-at-home mommy to two and work as a wellness coach in my spare time. I have been married to a great guy for almost 13+!

I do not have a dog, however my parents do and they use one in Newcastle. It is usually pretty busy.
