Pet Sitting near Mukilteo

“My name is Allison and I have been a Camp Canine employee since June of 2018. I am posting this in response to reviews made by former employees in hopes to shed light and show people that there are in fact two sides to every situation.I am the longest standing employee at Camp Canine with 6 years of employment and as such have worked under every combination of management and owners. Including; Dr. Sue (former owner), Anne-Lise (former manager), Brenda, Jessa, and Heather (current owner and manager).Under Dr. Sues ownership, she never even knew our names or who we were. The facility never saw any needed renovations or improvements, and didn’t even have a break room for employees. Let alone she didn’t know any of the dogs. I would not call that a well oiled ship.When Heather took over the company, we immediately saw renovations get done (new turf, new bark, new paint, a real break room for staff, cleaning and decluttering, updated cleaning protocols, etc).Not only has she improved the facility, but she has also invested in her employees by paying for positive reinforcement based dog training classes and Canine CPR/First Aid classes as well, so we can all be on the same page and have knowledge about how to properly care for your dogs.As for the group of employees who were either fired, or left - I have never been made to feel more uncomfortable at a place of work in my life. They were incredibly petty, and made work very tense. If they didn’t like you for whatever reason they came up with, you were either shunned or they talked about you behind your back. I never witnessed Heather be unfair to these individuals, however she did hold them accountable for their poor attitude, actions, and call outs. Which, after not having a structured managerial team while the company was being sold, came as a shock to them.Camp has become a much more enjoyable place to work since they have left, including staff holiday parties since we all get along well now. The environment is back to being a positive atmosphere, and it’s clear that the dogs feel that positive shift in energy as well :)As far as the naps go - yes, our facility does use kennels to give naps to dogs. However, it is not because a dog is “difficult”. Naps are utilized for a lot of different reasons. We give naps for lunches, breaks (if they display poor behavior that jeapordizes the safety of the group of dogs) , if a dog is experiencing extreme signs of anxiety, or is experiencing unusual medical symptoms like coughing, vomiting, limping, etc.Our dog play yards are cleaned thoroughly every day with industry standard, pet safe chemicals. And our nap kennels and boarding area is cleaned between each and every dog.The removal of the live cameras throughout the facility was due to some of the customers being creepy, not to hide anything. I would never work for a business that was unethical in the treatment of animals.“

“I have an epileptic husky that goes to here on regular basis for both daycares and boardings. Janice and her team always provide her with the most safe, fun and loving environment when I am not around. I cannot recommend them enough. You can trust your furry family member with them :)“

“Luv this woman & her big heart! BF is a huge supporter of Seattle Dogs Homeless Program and the reason we are able to offer boarding for people with pets living thru homelessness seeking drug/alcohol tx or wanting to start work. BF set the bar high when they not only opened their arms to Seattle Dogs but to the 100s of dogs we've rescued and boarded. ? ❤️‍ “
