“Work on the building at 4441 Pacific Ave. is under way. Lacey information shows the planned remodeling work includes adding a post surgery recovery area, new interior construction and the addition of a second floor.”
4441 Pacific Ave is just west of College Street in Lacey.
We’ve had a number of requests and have accepted some new clients from the westside, so we thought we’d make it official and add the Black Lake/Cooper Point area of the west side of Olympia (98502) about as far north as Harrison Blvd. If you’re farther north on Cooper Point, zip us an email and we’ll map your address and let you know if we can come out that far.
We do serve outside our regular area for pet taxi and mid-day checks though mileage charges may apply. If you’re unsure whether or not you’re within our service area email us at ohmydogsitters@gmail.com, we’d be glad to answer your questions!

Looks like the paving is back on…
Lacey’s road work on Hogum Bay Road will close the Off-leash Dog Park at 4:30 p.m. on June 7. Normal hours June 8.
UPDATE: The Off-leash Dog Park in Hawks Prairie will remain open this Wednesday (6/7/17). The City of Lacey has postponed the paving work on Hogum Bay Road that would have temporarily closed the park.
Tests confirmed that a blue-green algae bloom on the northwest Thurston County lake is producing “extremely high levels” of the toxin Anatoxin-a, a neurotoxin, according to Thurston County Environmental Health.
At this time, residents and lake users should not:
▪ Drink water taken from the lake until laboratory tests show the water is safe. Disinfection, boiling and treatment systems do not remove or deactivate algae toxin.
▪ Shower in water taken from the lake.
▪ Fish, swim or otherwise be in contact with the water.
▪ Allow pets and children near the water.
