Karen & Matt were an absolutely wonderful couple to sit for, entrusting me with their gorgeous family home and beloved Holly dog. They were kind, helpful and very prompt with replying if I needed to reach out with any questions during my stay. I would happily sit for them time and time again ✨
Sauce is a 10 out of 10 kitty - one of my most favs! He is calm, confident, and communicative. He will ask for hugs and pets when he wants, will hang out with you on the patio, and greet you in the driveway - but I didn't find him overly "needy" (if you listen to him and respond) and he spends a lot of time just chilling in his bed with the epic view out the window. He has a kitty door and auto feeder for his dry food so care is simplified. The home is stunning - clean, modern/artsy, and minimalist. A little too minimalist for me and I found some things missing. There is modern gear for roasting, grinding, and making espresso - but no teapot/electric kettle. It was very odd to be standing in this high tech home boiling water in a pot. Also - it was not disclosed that the microwave was broken so I had to stand on the hard floors (no mats) with a hip injury to use the stove since the micro was broken. Being injured, I definitely noticed there are 5 steps up to the house with no railing, the steps up to the hottub have no railing and are uneven. There are minimal floor coverings so mostly hard floors. The bed is very comfy and the sheets are softest cotton. There are nice blackout curtains in the bedroom and an air filter you can turn on for some white noise. It's a relaxing and quiet room for sleep. There wasn't really anywhere to put my things other than on top of the dresser. The house has some higher tech features than what I'm used to and there was no house manual. The downstairs of the home is a separate unit that may be rented out as an Air BNB and those guests might take the one parking spot next to the house. The unit was occupied and the driveway taken - none of which was disclosed to me before the sit. I specifically chose this sit over others due to having parking near the house so that was impactful. BUT - All that is in the past. Chris and Elaine were very open to my feedback and apologetic. They have both had some unexpected things come up and they just haven't had a chance to do all the things they would like to prep for sitters. Chris and I spoke the most and I enjoyed every conversation. They are aware of what needs to improve. I believe it will be a beyond 5 out 5 star experience going forward. The location is very convenient yet peaceful. Beautiful people, beautiful view, and awesome Sauce! I highly recommend this sit!

I never review anything, but the service I got from Pet Pals was beyond any expectation. If you have any pet sitting needs I highly recommend them. My two cats were happy and content when I got home and it was obvious Pam went above and beyond to keep them calm, which is no small feat for my two skittish rescue cats. I cannot stress enough how great the service was and not to mention very affordable, even for a poor graduate student like myself haha
Pam and her family have been sitting for our large dog & 2 cats since I found Pet Pals on Angie’s list in 2015. We take between 8-10 trips a year. Some are just overnight & some are weeklong. She is professional & does little extras like raising & lowering shades, bringing in mail, and moving garbage cans to protect our home. Our beloved animals always seem relaxed & happy when we get home. I have recommended Pet Pals to all my friends.
Pam and her family are hard working, honest people! They go out of their way for their customers. We have been always hado great experiences with them! Highly recommend their services.
Won Best In Spokane 6 Years in a Row
THey are the best you can depend on them.
Simply The Best Pet Sitter In Town!!!
Our dog loves his walks!
Outstanding. Recommended
Thank you!
Patty is the best! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was feeling a little anxious about leaving the fur babies while I was away for longer periods of time. She sent me updates/pictures every day and from our first meeting, I could tell she was reliable and an animal lover. I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and feel at peace knowing she’s taking care of my kitties. She is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found her!
We recently went on vacation and for the first time, our friends/neighbors were not able to care for our dogs. Our older guy, Buddy has never been in a kennel and has very high anxiety. I was so stressed about who was going to take care of them, that I had a difficult time getting excited about our trip. I found a business card for Ponderosa Patty that I got a year ago from our vet, and called her. It was short notice but she was very accommodating and eager to assist. We dropped them off the night before and she and her husband took time to talk with us so we could get to know them, their routine and to be comfortable. We had given Buddy anxiety medication and instructed Patty to give it to him when the shaking started. She constantly sent me pictures of Buddy happy and our other dog Sammy, going for walks, tails wagging. Riding in cars on her husband's lap, laying on them sleeping in their home, etc. Buddy NEVER had to have anxiety meds! They are very calm and loving with the animals and the animals knew it. I am so happy to have found Patty and will happily call her next time we need her. Thank you Patty for giving our dogs so much love and comfort and easing OUR anxieties!
We have taken several trips and have left the care of our dogs, parakeets, and home to Spokane's Best Pet Sitter. Patty is a most professional, trustworthy, and dependable individual who has shown a sincere interest and care for our pets. We received photos almost daily along with any questions or concerns related to our time away. We go away with complete peace of mind and confidence that everything will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend her services.
“Ponderosa Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”
A million stars ⭐️! Patty is so trustworthy and loving to my pups! I feel lucky 🍀 that my pups have her when I’m gone. She spoils them and sends me updates everyday❤️ thank you Patty for your care and attention to my dogs and home. I hope you know how amazing and appreciated you are 💕⭐️🙌. …
The name is correct, Patty is the BEST pet sitter in Spokane!! My entire family recently went on vacation together so this was the first time I've ever had to use a pet sitter for my cats and looking for someone on the internet can be scary and daunting. I am SO glad I found Patty! She took such great care of our cats and made sure that even our shy one got some love too. I am SO thankful to have found her, it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of! Will forever recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!
“We have used Ponderosa Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”
Ponderosa Patty has been so great watching our cat Binx the two times we have used her!! She sends pictures every visit so you can see that your pet is being well taken care of!! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for our future trips!!
Patty took excellent care of my pup while we were away. She gave regular updates and took extra care to make sure our nervous doggo felt comfortable around her. We will be booking her again for future trips.
Patty was wonderful with my 2 kitties. She accommodated the special needs of the one that is 16. I loved that she sent me pictures and texts each day to keep me informed. She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I think her price is very fair for the services she provides which included giving medication to my old girl. Would give her more stars if I could. I know I can travel now with confidence when Patty is taking care of my kitties.
With so many choices we have, we always choose play n stay! I never worry about their care. We were gone 7 nights and our dogs had fun and were well cared for!
I was thrilled to find such an experienced and compassionate provider for my beloved pooches. Everyone at Play N Stay accommodated my concerns for my 16 year old labradoodle as well as those for my very fearful 1 1/2 year old micro mini bernedoodle. I look forward to having Plan N Stay care for my pooches whenever I need a place for them to stay in the future. Thank you to all of the staff at Play n Stay.
Our pup always comes home happy and tired! We trust the Play N Stay team to provide a safe environment for our Ginny every time we leave town, which is really comforting. The team is communicative, kind, and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. We're happy to have this spot be our go-to dog daycare/boarding place in Spokane.
I have taken my German Shepherds to Play & Stay for years for daycare and boarding. P & S personnel are outstanding, professional, and do a stellar job in taking care of my dogs.
Wonderful experience! I boarded my two small dogs for several days with great results. My Chihuahua came home happy as a clam! My Chinese Crested, who has always been skittish and sensitive, came home calm and relaxed. He is now a more balanced dog and I couldn’t be happier. Love this place! Highly recommend!
Play N Stay is wonderful! They have a smooth process, quick and easy drop off and pick up, and sincere care and concern for our lil fur loved ones. Very friendly staff and reasonable rates!
We have appreciated the flexibility of the staff at Play N Stay regarding our dogs. Our now deceased Tassie Etta had issues with small dogs and they handled it in a way that she was well socialized but the little ones were safe. Now our husky Sasha gets so excited when she realizes where we are. They handle her high energy very well so she doesn't spend too much time in time out. That is all to say, they pay attention to the individual dogs needs.
We have had multiple dogs board at Play n Stay and they always have a great time. Even our slightly nervous dogs (nervous at new places) were only nervous at the beginning of their visit. I love how you can customize what you want for your dog during their stay. Were even considering having our dog join the weekday play groups.
We love.love this place. As soon as we turn on this street, my dog gets so excited. They are kind and great here. We even travel from across town just for our dog to be here. Worth it! Boarding-we definitely love the option of peanut butter and cuddles. Our lab loves company so it's nice to know they will spend a little time with him. Also, the option to bathe him while there is super nice. We also use their day care services specially once in a while. It's great. Super easy fast drop off and easy pick up. Easy reservations online and they are pretty quick at getting back to you if needed. Update. Still love this place. Love the workers love that they are always kind. Love that my labrador is so happy being there and is worn out when I get him back.
We absolutely loved sending our girl to Play & Stay! They were so welcoming and scheduling her daycare online was so easy! We moved out of Spokane otherwise she would still be going! 🥰 …
If there was an option for zero stars I’d put that! I left my 3 dogs in this kennel over Memorial Day weekend 22. Apparently they are under new management. I would NEVER bring any animal here. They ask you to bring food in a tub for your animal. I bagged am and pm feedings individually for each of my babies and had them clearly marked and separated for ease of feeding. Two of my dogs have extreme anxiety and one of them has medication for it. The 100lb puppy was not fed over the weekend, has a scrapes on his nose from pushing on the lid, probably wanting food and is limping. Only one of the dogs feedings were gone. And one bag of the feedings from the other two were gone. When I called, the new owner, Patrick seemed like it was normal and wouldn’t even consider partial reimbursement and abruptly ended the conversation, hanging up on me. After he tried telling me my dogs were playing with other dogs through the gate- which is not a thing. My German Shepard is dog aggressive through fences. The lies came so easily for him. No compassion and doesn’t care about the well-being of the animals in his facility- just the money. I am appalled by the integrity of not only the facility, but him as a person. He is retired military yet lacks in integrity and it’s disheartening. Everywhere else is expensive but the treatment of your animals here isn’t worth the sacrifice.
We use West Wind Kennels for our two dogs whenever we go out of town. They have very nice indoor runs and on-site grooming, so our pups are clean and smelling good when we pick them up. They take excellent care of our pets, and we feel very comfortable with leaving our pets there while we travel. I think they love our dogs almost as much as we do.
My dog visited West Wind for the first time yesterday. We've always used a chain groomer before for convenience, but decided to try this company that's close to home. I will NOT be returning to the chain groomer. This is Bean's new groomer. They were very sweet and patient, but I kinda expect that from dog groomers. You don't go into that business if you don't like animals. Wonderful people, but what impressed me was the difference in skill. She was matted pretty badly from a winter of wearing a shirt and they untangled her shame, leaving her fur as soft and sweet as when she was a newborn pup. It's been almost 24 hours since she was there and she still smells wonderfully. I've owned cavies for about 15 years now and I can honestly say I've never had one smell nice the day after a bath, but she spent hours playing with us outside yesterday and still smells beautifully. I've never been so satisfied with a dog grooming in all my life. Thank you, West Wind Kennels. You'll be seeing us again.
Have taken my kitty there couple times now. Staff is good and felt like my fur ball was well taken care of. Will definitely continue going back
This place used to be so fantastic for my furbabies until they sold it a few years ago. If I could give them no starts now, I would. I no longer trust this place with my animals.
We have always had great experiences with the staff and our dogs. Very reasonably priced. Will continue to take my dogs there when we travel.
Love the new friendly family Owners & Groomers! Organized, clean, affordable, accommodating. Our Pups came back Spiffy & tails a waggin'! Will definately go back!
Tank and Maizie were in great condition and spirts when we picked them up. Good place for them to spend the weekend!
We boarded two fur babies and, as always, were grateful for the care given them. The only problem was that while grooming our babies, a nail on one paw was cut too close, so we will be walking with a limp for a few days.
Staff is very friendly. I was a little concerned since my dog is older and doesn't like strangers. I gave tips on how to approach her, since all dogs are different. The staff was very understanding and put me at ease. I would leave her here again.
I wish I could leave 11 stars. Paradise Pet is one of the best things we ever did for our pup. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about your dog. We started taking Benji to daycare around 5 months old and it quickly became his favorite place ever. We also boarded him here multiple times. He always came home tired and happy. Staff informed us on any positive or negative behaviors that day. The facility is clean, spacious, with enrichment classes available. Grooming is well done and affordable as well. The frequent photos to Facebook make us so happy, especially when we’re out of town. Our dog is 100+ lbs and has high excitability. I felt extremely confident leaving him with the staff, they have clearly worked with many types of dogs and know what each breed, age, temperament needs. In contrast, we recently moved to a new city and tried a couple doggie daycares here and can’t stop thinking about how lucky we were to have Paradise Pet. We genuinely didn’t know how bad some places out there can be (dog comes home smelling like urine, dehydrated, hadn’t gone potty recently - to name a few) and now that we’ve seen both sides, I can confidently say Paradise Pet is the best of the best. We miss you all!
We love Paradise Pet Resort! When we first were looking for a place to board our dogs, we were able to do a trial run and also take a tour of the facility. It’s very clean, well maintained, and the staff makes sure to have a safe environment. Our dogs have been boarded here countless times and we have always been more than satisfied with the care our dogs receive while we are away. We especially love the almost daily photo updates! Thank you PPR for giving us peace of mind!
Our dog, Marius, has been coming here since he was a puppy and they’ve always been phenomenal with him! When we added our second dog, Bennett, to the family, we knew we could trust Paradise Pet Resort to love and care for him too. Whenever we go out of town, our dogs stay here and they always have a blast! I also love that we get to see pictures of the doggos each day, they always look so happy during their stay. We can’t imagine leaving our boys anywhere else but here when we travel.
We needed a place to board our dog while out of town and came across Paradise Pet Resort through a general Google search. After doing some pretty extensive research (we have never used a boarding facility or doggy daycare before), I gave them a call to set up a trial session. After 4 days of daycare, 9 nights of boarding and a few enrichment classes - I can truly say that Paradise Pet Resort is incredible. The staff is so friendly and they love your fur baby like it’s their own. Plus they post pictures all the time on Facebook so it’s fun to see!!! Our dog ended up needing to go to the vet while we were out of town, but they were so thoughtful, communicative, and organized that it made what should have been a stressful situation a breeze. Our dog, Ahsoka, already can’t wait to go back for more fun!
Cassie always comes back happy and tired after staying at Paradise Pet Resort. She loves going and getting the opportunity to play and socialize with other dogs. They always seem to recognize her when she arrives and we’ve never had any problems with her care I’m very particular about who I leave Cassie with and Paradise Pet Resort came highly recommended from many friends.
My dogs absolutely loved there first board last night. It makes me so happy that I found a place I can my dogs when we go on long day trips and on vacations. My dogs had so much fun that when I got them home they just slept for hours.
Everyone is so kind. My dog is 10 years old and never really socialized. The staff has worked with him and have been tremendous!
I love this place! Every staff I’ve interacted has been pleasant, they’re organized, understanding, but most of all, I thought my dog won’t play with other dogs when I take him to dog parks, but here, he loves playing here. I love that they post (almost) daily pictures of the dogs and when I see my dog playing and having the time of his life, I know I picked a good place to take care of him. Thank you guys!
Today was Nala Rose’s trial for full time day-care. I was very nervous at the beginning but was reassured by the amazing front desk crew. Upon picking her up, (with a pass!), I got to see the phenomenal layout they have the dogs in. Well cleaned and maintained, and most of all, great strategies to avoid issues I’ve seen at many other daycares! Nala Rose cant wait to come back tomorrow to see her new friends! So happy to join the pack. Here’s a TIRED AND HAPPY Nala Rose!
First time leaving our dogs with Paradise Pet Resort for a long weekend. They were recommended to me and everything went great. The dogs were happy and tired when they got home. We will definitely be back!
I highly recommend Auntie Linda's to care for your sweet fur baby when you are away. She provides a home setting which makes Pugsley very happy. We would never want him to feel like he was going back to the kennel that he was rescued from. She has an amazing pet friendly and fun backyard for her visitors. Pugsley gets lots of love and even some lap time. He has so much fun playing with his friends and she is great about texting pictures and messages while we are away. Great communication and great rates make Auntie Linda's our first choice for our Pugsley. We have taken Pugsley to Auntie Linda's for over four years and we will never go anywhere else. You can see by the expression on his face that Pugsley also loves Auntie Linda's.
I have used Auntie Linda’s pet sitting for three years for our cat Rogue. She has baby sat Rogue for a few days to two weeks. Rogue has always been taken care of and dotted over. It has been a great experience and I have never worried. Recently, we had a family emergency and needed to leave town for a few days. I was desperate and reached out to her. She was still able to make accommodations and get Rogue a place to stay on short notice. She is amazing! I will continue using her in the future for our 14 year old cat Rogue when we take vacations
Linda is great and she will take care of your pet like her family. Our dogs had a great experience at her pet resort.
Auntie Linda took great care of our 3 cats for over a week. She was very accommodating and reasonably priced. She also sent us texts with photos and updates on how they were doing. Our cats looked happy and well taken care of when we went to pick them up and it was clear they had a great week! I highly recommend Auntie Linda's boarding service.
We have been with Linda for years, and trust our priceless animals with her. She deeply cares about everyone's well being. That being said, she is a pet sitter, and not a kennel. If your pet requires extra care, call her she'll gladly discuss what she is and isn't capable of.
This week will be the 3rd time I have entrusted Auntie Linda with caring for my fragile 18 yr old kitty girl. Frieda has a neurological conditionn and is losing muscle strength in her back legs, so can jump maybe 6 inches, and often loses her balance. Instead of the typical tall cat condo with many shelves, Linda came up with using a wide/long bunny cage, which fit her bed, litterbox and food just right. She always sends pictures and text updates on how she was doing; extremely soothing to a far-away purr parent. Her ability to be flexible to owners & pets is amazing! This week I'll be going for surgery, and I don't know if I'll need to leave her there for 2 days or a week depending on the outcome. Linda didn't bat an eye and said let me know when you know Frieda is always welcome here. Although she often has a mix of pets there at one time, her home is clean, friendly, inviting and happy. I told her last time I was there I thought she was undercharging, but she said I want it this way for folks who just aren't able to afford the pricier places. THAT is the kind of woman and caregiver Linda is. Absolutely could not ask for better!
Linda took good care of my rabbit while I was away for a month. She kept sending pictures of the rabbit regularly. She took great care of my Oreo (rabbit) and now he is back home. Definitely recommend her.
Linda is awesome! She took great care of our cat, and gave him a lot of attention!! She would send us a pic of him almost every day, and give us an update. Her rates are frickin unbelievable as well!!!
Absolutely not! If I can rate this no stars I would! Took my dog here she’s a girl. And this lady had already dogs there and released them to meet my dog and the male German shepherd attacked my dog! Absolutely not ok! Maybe next time you let your dogs meet a strangers pet put them on a leash. We tried to pull my girl away and her dog kept coming and with another right behind my baby, myself and my boyfriends mother were holding our dog and she was terrified! She’s terrified to even go in the car now because she thinks she has to come back to this awful place. I would like to mention Linda did mention she would pay for the vet bill but this not just about money my dog is terrified.
So glad I found Auntie Linda’s! I left my two cats under her care to go on a trip for three weeks. I felt no worries leaving them with her, and she frequently sent pictures of them. I recommend her and I will continue using her services! She is also very sweet. :)
Free Range Boarding is absolutely the best you can do for your dogs! This time my Bull Terrier was literally climbing over my head to get out! The staff is awesome they are always so excited to see the dogs and very thorough with the feeding and medication instructions. They make going on vacation stress free. Pick up is equally emotional as the staff are sad to see them leave! And the dogs are exhausted! They are a gem in Spokane!
From the moment we stepped into Free Range Boarding, it was clear that this wasn't just any pet boarding facility—it was a paradise for pets. The staff welcomed us with open arms and bright smiles, immediately putting us at ease about leaving our furry family member in their care. What sets this center apart is its exceptional communication. They are proactive in reaching out, sending daily updates via text and email, complete with photos and detailed reports on how our dog was doing, and even what their mood was like throughout the day. This level of detail was not only comforting but also built a deep trust in their services. The care they provide is top-notch. The center is clean, well-maintained, and designed with the comfort and safety of the animals in mind. Each staff member is knowledgeable, passionate about pets, and incredibly gentle and patient. It's evident that they don’t just look after the animals; they care for them as if they were their own. Moreover, the range of activities they offer is impressive. Our dog enjoyed supervised play sessions, cozy nap times, and even had a chance to partake in some basic obedience training. It’s clear that Free Range Boarding goes above and beyond to ensure that every pet is not only cared for but also enriched and happy. I cannot recommend Free Range Boarding highly enough. If you are seeking a boarding facility where your pet will be loved, looked after, and returned to you just as happy—if not happier—then this is the place. Their unmatched service and dedication truly make them the best dog boarding center!
I really appreciate the care they provided in getting Murphy settled into their facility. It’s interesting because through this process, I discovered that Murphy has separation anxiety and they took so much care of that. While he didn’t pass the evaluation, I’m grateful that they took time to attempt to make him comfortable, and when he wasn't, called me. Once we work through the triggers for him through training, we’ll try again. Thank you Amy and team!
I love Free Range Boarding! It was my dog's first boarding experience and he came home happy and content. They really care about the dogs and I loved the positivity from everyone. The facility is clean and very organized. I also love how it is out in the country and very peaceful🙂. I would definitely recommend this dog paradise to others!
I have an active ten month old German Shepherd. They worked with him so he could play with the rest of the dogs. I also have a 10 year old shepherd who has had health issues and they have taken good care of him.
We had used Free Range Boarding with our previous pup and they were amazing. Dahlia loved going there and always came home happy. She has since passed and we have adopted an 11 year old rescue with an abusive past. We were worried about leaving Wally since he has such a traumatic past. But wow, the staff was kind, very competent and Wally likes them too. I would highly recommend Free Range Boarding to anyone who wants to feel secure in leaving their pets when they leave town.
Update: The daycare now open at Free Range is also EXCELLENT! We thought we loved Yuppy Puppy for daycare but Free Range is even better. Our dog gets much more individual attention and care which is important to us because he's a senior. He's treated like a king with outdoor playtime where he can run, indoor air conditioned time, nap time, and treats. He's so happy here I can feel his groan when we show up to get him! It's more than worth the cost to know he's happy and well cared for. Love the video cams too! Highly recommended. EXCELLENT doggie spa/hotel (boarding facility) in Spokane, and I don’t say that lightly! My husband and I are SO THANKFUL Amy’s Pet Sitting Service opened this facility. We have an only child Golden Retriever, Henry, who’s never been left alone or boarded before. My dad’s 90th birthday meant we had to go out of state together. We weren’t sure what we were going to do. We toured many boarding facilities but didn’t feel comfortable – until we went to Free Range. Amy and Natalie are so professional and so attuned to every detail, we were confident Henry would be in the best possible hands. During the initial evaluation Amy even found a little “pimple” we hadn’t noticed. It turned out to be a mast cell tumor - cancer! So, before we boarded our dog, he had surgery – fortunately successful – but if it hadn’t been for Amy’s intervention, who knows. We’re forever grateful beyond words. This shows how good they are here. Before we left him 4 nights, we did a 1 night trial run. It probably wasn’t necessary but we wanted to try to show him that it was a TEMPORARY stay. He didn’t seem to want to leave the next morning! That was a great sign. We loved having a menu of “extras” we could add. We got a window in his room (he used it), a webcam (we used it), and a nightly tuck in. Being able to watch him in his room or outside playing was so reassuring. We could clearly see he wasn’t anxious - just playing, eating and sleeping as he does at home. We can’t recommend Free Range Boarding enough.
I have been boarding with Free Range for a year now with our older dog. We got a puppy in July and chose to go to another trainer facility, very well known. It was the wrong decision, it wasn’t a good fit, so I reached out to FRB. Natalie has been hands down the best trainer for both myself and our pup. We aren’t done yet, but I will never go to another facility, I will only recommend and take my pets to FRB ever again. They saved our relationship with our puppy. Plus, I never worry when my fur babies are staying there. They always go above and beyond. Thank you for loving all our pups so much!
We had three dogs stay for 10 days. The facility and staff was amazing. It was exceptionally clean, well organized, they allowed lots of play time and let us bring their own beds and toys. The staff was kind, attentive and welcoming. They were also accountable, meaning they stuck to allotted times for checking in and dropping off, so that it didn’t detract from the care of their already boarded pets. Our dogs came home excited to see us, and were not anxious or traumatized from their experience in any way!!! My husband and I would highly recommend FREE RANGE BOARDING facility.
Free Range is really the only place we feel comfortable leaving our dog Luna. She spends full days there and is happy to get there and happy to come home. She always sleeps extra well after a day with her friends. We couldn't be happier. Thanks guys! Roger and Cara
After a ton of recommendations to Dave at StoneFox Kennels, we had our dog stay with them during our travels. Dave and his team did a phenomenal job! Our dog was happy, well-taken care of and clean when I picked him up. They offer a military discount as well! I’m thankful to have found this gem and will definitely use them in the future. 5/5 stars and highly recommended!
If we were able to leave a negative star we would. We should never have attempted to leave our puppies there again. Retired military and we have been to/used a number of kennels around the world. Yes, we are completely culpable and truly regret subjecting our puppies to their business the second time but we assumed our pups were simply stressed from a new environment and our departure, therefore, we felt they did not eat the first time we left them there hence their emaciated state upon our return the first time. The second time was even worse! Both of our puppies (actually 6-years old) were lethargic, severely dehydrated, and now have non stop diarrhea since they came back. We will never trust them with our puppies again! If you care about the welfare of your dogs, please find somewhere else to house them. Take your time to look beyond the advertised heated floors and into the kennels and truly assess the cleanliness and “state” of the business prior to leaving your loved ones there. Please learn from our unfortunate mistakes.
I cannot recommend Stone Fox Kennels enough! When we got our German Shepherd back after his 10 day stay, he was happy, calm, and had clearly been very well taken care of. Our dog gets nervous when we board him, but the staff at Stone Fox were able to work with him and help him relax. We had a bad experience with a different local kennel when we boarded our dog previously, so we were pretty cautious going into boarding this time. We are so grateful to Stone Fox and will not use any other kennel for boarding from now on!
Our pup had a great time boarding for two days! We've only had her a couple months and are working through anxiety and leveling out a medication, so she can be shy and particular about treats. She had never been to a boarding facility before but she was comfortable when we went in, made friends with the gentleman who checked us in and went back with him no problem! When we picked her up she was a happy girl with her tail wagging. I'm beyond pleased to have a facility that made her feel comfortable and confident! Highly recommend!
About a year ago now, my family and I had a medical emergency and needed to drive to Seattle ASAP and could NOT bring our animals because of the accommodations we were given last minute. At first, I made the choice to take my two dogs and two cats to West Wind Kennels right up the street. Please do not take your pets to this facility to "save money". The receptionists were rude and uncaring about my abrupt situation and urgent need for boarding though they had the space. While I was waiting to be helped, the groomers in the room next door to reception were being way too rough with an uncooperative dog. I used to be a pet groomer, you do not treat animals that way. I didn't realize until after my dogs were booked that their living space would be so very minimal, with no outside time unless I paid extra for it. They were put in a 3x3 box and given a 4x3 indoor run. The only time it seemed they would have human contact was feeding time, again unless you paid an extra amount for a measly 15 minutes of outdoor play time. My collie has separation anxiety, so he yells when he's in a new place and can't see me. I had dropped off my animals and was on my way out when the older gentleman that worked there I heard him screaming at my dog to shut up and heard thudding which I could only assume he was kicking the box my dog was in. (Please see their website for the pictures of what their place looks like.) That would not settle at all and I got a very BAD feeling on the way out. WIth that feeling, I called Dave at StoneFox Kennels, explained the situation. He was friendly, open, and more than fine and ready to take my animals while taking in my situation as best he could. I told him I had to see the place. Their rooms are more than spacious, the place colorful and bright and play/outdoor time is several times a day and included. The moment I finished the tour, I went back to West Wind Kennels to rescue them from that depressing place. My two 50 lb dogs had enough room to play together in their rooms verses the little space at WW. The fences and play area outside, as well as the rest of facility, smelled clean and well taken care of. My cats were given the cat room to themselves! And they had LOADS of room and things to climb. All four animals had to stay upwards of two weeks at this facility and I am so glad that I made the choice to switch. I was reunited with very happy, clean babies that I am thoroughly convinced would not be the case had we had to stay elsewhere. We even see Dave on our walks sometimes, they're still SO happy to see him (they're not all that friendly towards strangers, so it's a big deal!) StoneFox is slightly more expensive than WW but I'm telling you it's SO worth it. Dave really does care about your animals. He also offers military rates. 5/5 stars
I just had my dog boarded there for two nights. My puppy is super shy and gets very scared around people. When we arrived my dog was of course avoiding the worker and hiding behind me. When I picked him up two days later my dog was happily wagging his tail and licking the worker. I don't know the staff member's name but he is incredibly nice and obviously is amazing with dogs!
Beware! They do not care for your dogs the way they say they will. Our pup stayed with them for a week. I called twice to check on him and they assured me he was eating and doing good. I talked to them at least 3 times to also have him groomed during his stay. When we picked him up he was not groomed. They said he was un-groomable. Really? He loves getting groomed and has NEVER had an issue with any grooming. Did I mention he's 14 pounds. Funny I've never had a groomer have any issue with him. That was disappointing. But, he also came home matted, dirty and with a UTI. When we called the kennel they then admitted that he didn't really eat or drink much. The vet confirmed the lack of fluids was a big cause of the UTI. (Which he's never had in his life until staying here). His bed was soaked because they said he peed on it - again - this has never happened before. The kennels seem dirty and their limited hours are an issue - especially when they won't answer the phone off hours. Super disappointed in the whole experience. We expect a boarding facility will actually care for the animals...they did not.
The owner's are so friendly and work really well with the dogs. The kennels are always clean and are absolutely adorable.
We had a great experience. Our two small dogs stayed in one of the medium rooms for two nights during a weekend. Everything looked super clean. The staff was really nice and they welcomed us in to see where our dogs would be staying which was great. When we picked them up, they were happy as clams and had plenty of food and water plus clean blankets and a clean room. Also we were able to pick them up on Sunday which was really convenient and saved us from paying for an extra night.
As any dog owner would be, I was very concerned bringing my dog to a new kennel, but Dave made us feel very good and comfortable about her stay. He was happy to show us the kennel she'd be staying in, and he showed us the dog run area for her to use the bathroom. The kennels are very nice, clean, and cozy. My dog is also very insecure and defensive about her food and space. Dave overcame those challenges with her, and continued the effort to make her feel welcome. She also had an accident on her bed and blanket, and Dave made sure to wash her bedding for her. I absolutely recommend this kennel, and we will be bringing our dog back in the future.
Lewis O. Potamus is a 1 year old American Bully (American Baby…more like it). He is adored by our family, goes to work with my husband and I and is very…very spoiled. When I first asked Debbie about booking Lewis she politely declined and told me the safety of the dogs in their care was their number 1 priority and they don’t take pit breeds. I wasn’t offended at all, and appreciated a facility that would carefully vet breeds and dogs. I explained to her Lewis’ disposition, showed her some videos of Lewis playing with my sister’s doodle and my in laws boxers (all our dogs are with us always and we take them to eachothers homes- all are very well socialized and trained). Debbie agreed to take Lewis on a trial bases and we have used Cozy Kennels 3-4 times now. They take such good care of the puppies in their care!!! Lewis is always so happy when we pull in!! He very social and stayed at another kennel once when Cozy was booked and he didn’t get interaction with other dogs and was not happy. At Cozy Kennels, he gets play time with the other dogs and we know he is in good hands!!! Thank you for putting the safety of the dogs in your care above all else. 5 stars ⭐️
I never leave reviews but this place is deserving. This kennel is spotless, the owners are incredibly caring and answer my texts very timely. It is popular and well liked enough that you'll need to book in advance as soon as you know when you'll need them. I never worry about my dogs wellbeing when I drop them off. I know they'll have a blast and be in good hands and that I can get updates through text and sometimes photos as needed to reassure me.
My Gracie came home from Cozy Kennels exhausted from playing with her friends. They love what they do❤️🐶❤️. They encourage you to call and check on your pet, they even sent us a video of Gracie in the yard with the other dogs. We were not sure how she would do because she hasn’t been around other dogs, so they eased her in and she had a marvelous time😊100% recommend this Kennel ( pet resort )❤️
We always take our dogs here for "camp" when we're out of town. They are well cared for and come home exhausted. What more can you ask for?! Thanks Cozy Kennels!!
It has been a few years since we've had our akbash, Kodi, stay with Dave and Debbie (we have a family member that does not travel anymore, and she stays with our dogs when we leave) however we always recommend Cozy Kennels to friends. Kodi routinely came home very happy, and not showing signs of stress. The first time he stayed, Dave sent us a few videos of Kodi playing with other dogs. It was so sweet being able to SEE him, and know for sure he was doing well. The most recent time, Dave sent Kodi home with a squeaky llama he had fallen in love with 😆 I always appreciated that Dave allows you to see the inside of the kennel area, too. Makes me nervous when kennels refuse to let you see the actual place your dog will be staying.
The kids love going to "camp", very awesome family and kennel. Rates are very affordable especially for more than 1 dog.
We LOVE cozy kennels! You could not find a safer, more professional, cost effective and overall FUN experience for your dogs! We board our 2 adult shepherd mixes here and not only has it improved their social skills but they are always beyond excited to go! We always get updates directly from the owners including videos of our girls running around on their (big!) property with all the other doggies! We are so thankful for them and will continue to use them as long as we live in WA!
Every single time my dogs come home from their visit, they are happy and exhausted from playing! One of my dogs is a nervous girl, and I used to board her somewhere else. She'd come home depressed and with diarrhea for days. Not once, ever, has she had a problem with Cozy Kennels! She comes home just as happy and tired as our young dog! We are customers for life!
I am very impressed with Cozy Kennels. My dog has never been kenneled and I was worried about being separated from her. She was just fine when I picked her up. Dave actually sent me a video of her playing with other dogs. I will definitely be using them again. They rock!!
I am very un-trusting with anyone with my babies. Whenever we go out of town and have to kennel our dogs, I stress and worry the whole time. Usually, when we get home I feel bad because our dogs smell horrible and have crazy looks in their eyes like they just spent the whole time looking at bars. I can honestly say that leaving our pups with Debbie and Dave at Cozy Kennels was such a great experience! First off, I felt comfortable knowing that they were on a personally owned property! Someone that can take their personal home and turn it into a boarding facility for dogs HAS to be a dog lover! When we dropped off our dogs, Dave walked us through the property. It was very clean and fenced off properly. Our dogs were immediately excited and running around wanting to play and sniff everything. While we were away, Debbie sent me updates on how they were doing. I even received a video of them playing with the other dogs! They looked like they were having a blast! This definitely helped to ease my discomfort with leaving them with strangers. The pricing was very reasonable and affordable. When our dogs were picked up they were very happy. We could tell that they were taken care of while we were gone. I would definitely leave them with Debbie and Dave again!
Excellent service! Bruce takes care of your pets and your home like they were his. Bonded, insured, great customer service. I used Waggin Tails several times, would NEVER go to another service. Highly recommended.
Excellent care of all of our animals while we are away! Affordable and comforting for our animals to not be displaced when we leave town.
Great place to leave your dogs! I have never left my dogs in a kennel because of the cost. It's never cheap (which is why I don't do it) but this was the most reasonable in the area. The owner was very nice and took good care of my 2 German Shepherds. Will use again!
They are awsome with your pets and their needs . They are one on one with then they just don't open all the doors and hope all the dogs get along with each other.wich is great for my dog staff is so friendly I found my dogs home away from home and don't have to worry at all she's in great hands.
My dogs are always welcome here and well taken care of. I like that my dogs can't play with other dogs. They get their own outside time which is important for my young dog. She is very picky about her animal friends, all other places I found had group play. This kennel is set up for just one kennel out at a time. Love them and will not go anywhere else.
Charli was well taken care of. I appreciate Jessica and the extra TLC she gives the pets personally. I had just been in a car accident when I went to pick up my kitty. The owners of Marcinda Kennels, kindly duct taped my car together so that I could drive it home. While I was gone I communicated with them to see how Charlie was doing. I got a reply. emailed right away. I will always take my kitty there.
Great and affordable place to board your dog! The staff seem great and I was able to get updates on my pup.
Marcinda Kennels is wonderful. Marc & Linda are great! Very accommodating and caring. Our Husky was treated very well!
We housed my Mom’s cat Charli at Marcinda for 12 days. We retrieved her last night happy and healthy. They took care to send Mom videos of her getting pets and treats, and all of the individuals I met there are kind and clearly love animals. Charli’s enclosure was a generous size and accommodated her bed, scratching post, blankie and litterbox with ease. It looks like they’re on an old farmstead, so nothing fancy, but the cats have a good situation there for sure. My biggest customer service praise for them is that we had to roust the owner out during the UW/Michigan championship game and they were totally sweet about it. The price is extremely affordable and we’d definitely house our own cat there.
They are concerned about safety of your fur babies. The dog runs are clean. Outside area to run and dig if they are a digger. The lambs are so cute and nothing like fresh eggs from the farm. Very good hearted people. Prices should be 2x-3x more for the going rate of boarding your babies. Be blessed, knowing your babies are well taken care of.
Excellent place. It doesn't have looks, but it makes up that by having an excellent staff. Still run by the original owners who care and experience over being shiny and fancy. Only down side is they recently had to raise their prices, but that is no fault of theirs.
We boarded 3 dogs for 2 weeks. They work with each individual dog to make sure they have the best experience possible although away from home. I will always board my dogs here in the future.
