The Drive
How far is The Pet Brigade from Tillicum?
About 5 miles and a 10 minute drive from Tillicum to The Pet Brigade at 04907 Pendleton Avenue. That is closer than most Tillicum households are to a supermarket, which is why the weekday daycare run and the at-home services both work from here rather than only the occasional boarding stay.

Why People Here Book
Which Pet Brigade services reach a Tillicum home?
The Pet Brigade runs three services at your house rather than at the kennel: poop scoop, dog walking on weekly plans, and litter box cleaning. Their published copy offers the poop scoop to customers on JBLM, so a Tillicum household sitting against the installation should ask the office directly.
Everything Else
What else does The Pet Brigade do?
The Pet Brigade boards dogs at $53 a night and cats at $37, runs doggie daycare from 5:45am on weekdays, grooms by breed and size, drives its own transport van to the airport and the vet, and handles poop scoop, dog walking and litter box cleaning at homes on JBLM. All of it runs out of the one building.

Tillicum Questions
What Tillicum households ask before booking?
Every question below arrived through The Pet Brigade's own contact form between May and September 2026, and the answers come from their published rates, hours, vaccination policy and service pages rather than from guesswork. They apply the same whether you drive the 5.0 miles in from Tillicum or you already live on post.
Are the at-home services only for people on JBLM?
Their published copy offers the poop scoop service to customers on JBLM. Dog walking and litter box cleaning are described alongside it as in-home services. If you are just outside a gate, ask the office whether they will come to you: (253) 912-4898.
How often will you walk my dog?
Dog walking runs on weekly plans matched to the animal, with more frequent walks for a younger or higher-energy dog and fewer for an older or infirm one. You are not buying a fixed package, so tell the office your dog's age and energy and they will shape it.
Do you do anything at my house?
Three things, all on JBLM: poop scooping, dog walking on weekly plans matched to your dog's age and energy, and litter box cleaning. The home services page has the detail, and they are booked by phone.
What does daycare cost?
A single day is $36 for the first dog and $26 for a second. A half day, or the daycare and groom bundle, is $25.50. Packages bring it down: 5 days for $165, 10 for $310, 20 for $570, and they have to be used within six months. Second-dog pricing runs alongside every package on the rates page.
Where are you, and can I get to you?
04907 Pendleton Ave, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA 98433, on Joint Base Lewis-McChord itself, off Pendleton Avenue near the Lewis Army Museum. It is the only privately owned boarding facility on a military post in the United States. Access to the post is controlled by JBLM, not by the kennel, so if you do not hold a DoD ID, call the office before you drive out: (253) 912-4898.
