What a great sit! I would gladly return here anytime for sitting! Steffany is a friendly, absolutely reliable and very well organized host. She had prepared the flat excellently for my arrival. I met her already before the sit to pick up the keys for the apartment, and it was a terrific handover where all issues were clarified and all questions were answered friendly. The remarkable and very extenisve Welcome Guide is a very large bonus for this sit. Not every host who is booking a sitter via THS for the first time is so well prepared. Steffany and I were in contact every day via Whats App to were I daily sent photos, short videos and stories about Maisie. The apartment is clean, safe, comfortable, bright, flooded with light and has all amenities you can wish for a great stay. You can find beautiful decorative items everywhere which gives the whole apartment a very personal touch. I felt at ease here immediately. Just across the street there is a small café which is perfectly suited for breakfast. You can also find a big supermarket (EDEKA) on the other side of the street. The next subway station can be reached in about ten minutes by foot. And you also get a daily hour of workout for free because the apartment is on the fifth floor without an elevator. The Kastanienallee with all its great cafés, restaurants, stores and curiosities is just around the corner. It doesn' t get better than this. Maisie is a wonderful senior cat: very gentle, incredibly friendly, well-mannered. It is a pure joy to take care for Maisie. She sleeps a lot, which is perfectly normal for a cat lady of her age, however. She loves playing with her pink- colored fish made of fabric on a fishing rod, and she is always up for a treat. Maisie prefers to be petted softly, especially between her eyes and over her norse. I miss that little cat lady a lot. When she has taken you into her heart, you are under a "constant siege". As soon as you sit or lay down, Maisie is immediately there and wants to be fondled. She is soooo adorable! And at night, she lays herself upon you and just purrs away happily. This sit is just what you can wish for as a sitter. Thus, I recommend this sit from the bottom of my heart, also for THS beginners.

Lea’s Pawsibilities is wonderful. Lea has been taking care of our dogs for 3 years now at our home for long weekly periods and most recently our elderly little one has been boarding at her place for a month. We couldn’t be happier and more comfortable leaving our pups with her. When we leave them at home, Lea visits them at our house twice and sometimes three times daily to play, walk, feed and just plain get loved. Lea makes sure they are well and that the house is in order too. Boarding with Lea is perfect! Lea manages to have all doggie clients getting along and being well exercised. She sends pictures daily and makes us feel like our dogs are truly a part of her family. I highly recommend Lea’s Pawsibilities for your family. We are at ease traveling when she’s in charge ♥️
If it were possible to give Lea 10 stars, I would. Over the years I have had many house and pet sitters for our dog and three cats - none have come close to comparing with the professionalism and attention to detail that Lea provides. We have a very complex house with many indoor plants, a hot tub requiring routine maintenance, and animals that go in and out a lot without access to pet doors. 2 of the 4 pets require daily medication and all get different food for various reasons. This is not an easy gig! Lea is unflappable and consistently sweet. She communicates regularly and sends lots of pictures of our critters to reassure that they are doing well. I highly recommend Lea for your house and pet-sitting needs!
Lea did a great job with our three dogs during the week while we were at work. She stopped by daily to let our dogs out mid day. She played with them and gave them extra special attention. She is very professional. She always sent a text when she arrived and included cute pictures of her visit. I definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies when you can’t be there.
I am new to town and was needing a dog sitter to watch my dog while I flew across the country for a trip. I am so grateful I found Lea through Google maps because she was a true god send. I appreciated that she wanted to know as many details about my dog as possible so that she knew the best way to care for her while she stayed at Lea's house. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her family. If you need a pet sitter or dog walker in Hood River, I definitely recommend her!
I boarded my dog, Zoey with Lea and her family for the first time and I cannot say more fantastic things about the experience. Lea was excellent with sharing clear instructions and updating me with photos of Zoey and status updates throughout her stay. Zoey loved the care and attention she received, and she was warmly welcomed into Lea’s home. I highly recommend using Lea’s services! She’s very kind and has warm energy. Zoey gives 5 stars too!
Lea went above and beyond for my dogs and us to make sure they were taken care of during our wedding week. Lea sent tons of photos, gave detailed updates, and loved our dogs like our own. She was so accommodating including bringing our dogs to our wedding day of and picking them up so they could be in the ceremony. I wish Lea lived closer so we could use her all the time! 10/10 recommend!
Bizzie, our mini Australian Shepherd, arrived at Lea’s all hyped up and barking over my leaving him. I wasn’t down the road an hour before Lea texted that River, her daschund, and Biz were getting on famously— such a thoughtful thing to do, as I was then able to relax and enjoy the drive. Each day I received pictures of the two of them together, or just Bizzie relaxing. When I picked him up, instead of the barkfest I expected, a very calm Biz met me at the door. The entire time I was there he was so quiet, and his serenity continued through the ride home. Once home he just seemed so relaxed, and this morning I swear he is still behaving like he’s been to the spa, all anxiety washed away!!! Big thanks to Lea and River for taming my tiger— obviously your hospitality is helping him cope with his nervous reaction to change!👍👍👍 in
We had a great experience with Lea who watched our dog a half day. She was very flexible, quick to answer any questions and provided us great updates throughout his stay. She was very sweet and welcoming, the dog loved her immediately, he was happy tail-wagging when we picked him up. We are happy to have found someone reliable and look forward to hiring her services in the future.
Lea was super responsive and professional. She remained flexible over the course of a whole week and helped to make our holiday vacation so much more worry-free. Even with bad weather and last minute changes, Lea kept us up to date. It was so good to know that our pets and our house were in good hands! We will be calling on Lea again.
Lea watched our two cats for the first time during a recent trip out of town. The cats are shy, but she found them in their hiding spot to take photos and send every day (which my wife REALLY appreciated). She is reliable. We will hire her again.
Dave loves dogs and is wonderful with Dawkins. Easy to work with and very accommodating even with medication. It’s a great spot to be able to leave our dog and know he’s in good hands.
My dog and I love the personalized care that each dog receives, that my dog gets exercise every day he is there, and that the owner, Dave, knows, cares, and loves each dog that comes to him. My dog isn’t too experienced with other dogs, but his experience at Happy Tails has made him better with other dogs. He is happy when he gets there, and happy when he comes home!
We recently made the switch from a larger boarding facility to Happy Tails up Snowden for our dogs. We are very happy with Dave and his operation. My high energy shepherds were given extra large kennels and a fenced in run to themselves. He gave them plenty of attention and exercised them as we would at home. On top of that all, it was extremely affordable! Will definitely continue going to Happy Tails, thanks Dave!
Dave was great to work with! He put us at ease, showing us where our pup would be staying and talking about all the fun she'd have. The care was great and the rates were reasonable. Highly recommend.
Great stay for our pup! Dave is friendly, responsive, and clearly a dog lover. Our dog is a nervous fellow around others, but Dave made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. So happy to have this facility in our neighborhood.
The groomer did far above and beyond the expectations with my matted puppy. I will be going back again.
They’re so nice, personal & accessories accommodating. I always feel like our dog is well taken care of
Good place for our dog
Great folks, good facilities!
Very nice staff
My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!
Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)
We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!
We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!
This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!
Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!
We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.
Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!
Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.
Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!
My wife and I recently had our first child. He arrived later than expected and with some complications. Cascade Pet Camp worked with us to get our high energy German-Wirehaired Pointer boarded when we needed it and extended his stay many times at our request even around busy Thanksgiving. I've been very pleased with their service and my pup seems to enjoy his stays as well. Highly recommend!
We used boarding and daycare services for our dog Fig during our wedding weekend in Hood River. Fig came home tired and happy! His report card indicated that they definitely learned about his temperament and paired him appropriately for play groups despite only knowing him a short time. The photos included with the report card were a happy bonus!!
We love Cascade Pet Camp and can't recommend them enough! Dana and Shannon are amazing as is Rowan. They have been incredible in helping us with our very rambunctious puppy and in training us to deal with him. We have used the training services and the boarding facility along with their doggy day-care. We had to board our puppy for over a week and we knew he was safe and happy with them. They even sent us little reports along with pictures and video so we could see for ourselves during his stay how happy he was. We were unable to do the puppy classes as they were when we were planning on being gone, but we did some individual classes with Dana and Shannon to get us through until we could do the Teen Wolf sessions. Honestly, the owners and their team are incredible. They clearly understand dogs and love them (even the annoying ones) and they are able to impart their knowledge to us through humor and kindness. Our dog would seriously run away with any of them, they are that good.
My two little chihuahuas love visiting Cascade Pet Camp. They get so excited when I pack their camp gear. They stay safe in their patio room and get to play outside in the big yard. They happily greet the staff as friends and seem to adore the new groomer. This year I also invested in training classes. My girls have transformed from reactive yappers to socialized happy campers. Dana and Shannen were instrumental in the transformation. Thank you both for creating a safe, fun place for me to take my little girls.
So glad we have this place in the Gorge! My doggos love going here for both training and boarding. They get super excited driving up!
Cascade Pet Camp is fantastic! They took great care of my foster dog and sent me daily updates while I was away. The staff are caring, communicative, and responsive.
Cascade Pet Camp's puppy kindergarten class exceeded all expectations! As a busy business owner, my time is valuable, and I appreciate the efficiency and professionalism they brought to every class. The trainers demonstrated a deep understanding of canine behavior, and their positive reinforcement techniques truly transformed my behavior oh and my dogs too! Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch dog interactions!
We love Cascade Pet Camp. It makes us so happy that our dog drags us into “camp” and is just as happy when he leaves! Everyone is so sweet with him, which makes it easier to leave our little family member for times when he can’t travel with us!
I have had my puppy stay here multiple times and she absolutely enjoys coming back every single time. She gets so excited to see the staff and looks so clean and smells so fresh every time she has been groomed. Thanks so much for taking care of my love bug! Absolutely love this place.
We were in the area for an event on the columbia river and our day did daycare for two days. He had an absolute blast. Came home tired which means he was extra happy! The staff were kind and friendly.
We live in Hood River and when a family member had to unexpectedly enter the hospital, we had to find boarding for her dog right away. A nearby kennel agreed on the phone to take her, but when we brought the dog in, they declined to accept her, requiring a fecal test which no other kennel we have patronized have required. No effort was made to determine whether they could make an exception due to the circumstances. We scrambled and found Eagle Caves. They were very understanding of the urgent nature of our need, and took the dog right in. They took great care of her, and gave us regular updates. They were understanding when we had to extend the boarding. The true nature of a provider is made evident when you have an emergency. We are very happy with Eagle Caves. Fees were very reasonable as well.
Great place in The Dalles to drop off Max. I like it because you can take your dog on a long ride from pdx and then leave him in The Dalles. Both times max was well cared for. The second time we came to get him he didn’t want to leave.
Upcharges after you've already paid. Doesn't put them in the area you pay for. Trimmed my dogs nails without asking and charging me for it. And the icing on top was a shock collar being on my dog without my permission which I would never permit, he said "She barked to much"..... will never go here again!
We had a wonderful experience with Eagle Caves Pet Resort. We had a situation come up and had to leave town for a week and Greg and Annie took in our dog Ripken not only on very short notice but with patience knowing this was his first time being boarded and away from us for so long. They offer a great experience for both pet parents and fur kids and are very affordable. when we picked up our fur kid he was happy, healthy and in great spirits! We will be using them for all our future boarding needs. Highly recommend
Good place for a short stay. Had to find a kennel near my lodging and this fit the bill. Real decent boarding prices but beware of any extras 'cuz it'll cost. The dogs seemed content when I picked them up but were glad to get outta there. Who's dog isn't though, no matter how classy the digs!?
Our two big canine boys seemed to have a great time here. Greg was very responsive, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He even let us know of a great place to go play after we all left the resort. It was great the dogs were able to get a large room together and some time to play. I’m sure it made them feel more at home. Our boys were well cared-for, and I would use Eagle Caves again.
Eagle caves was able to accommodate our 2 big doggos very last minute and they were very well taken care of! Our younger dog has never been without our older boy and they were able to put them in the same kennel (it's larger I believe) so they could be together. They played with the other dogs every day and even got groomed while they were there! I've never seen my shepherd mix fluffier!! If I need a boarding facility again, you'll be the first I call!!
We have been sending our dogs to Eagle Caves for close to 10 years. Greg & Annie love animals and our pups look forward to staying with them. They provide a wonderful home away from home for our fur babies!! Their facility is clean, air conditioned and has a beautiful outdoor play area for the pups to have lots of fun!! It’s nice being able to leave town knowing our pets are being well cared for.
I boarded my pup here for a week and was very pleased. I have never boarded my dog before and the owners were sure to answer all of my questions and show me their facility. They were both very professional and passionate about their business. My dog was well taken care of and came back to me in a happy condition. I wouldn't hesitate coming back.
We have boarded our small dog here a few times and have been very happy with the great customer service, grooming and health of our dog after his stay. We especially love the dog report card, which details the activities of our dog's stay, as well as the friends he has made during his stay. (We also appreciate the updates on how he is doing during extended boarding times.) The kennels are also much roomier than any other place we've used, and the facility has been very clean each time we have been there. We have only good things to say about Eagle Caves Pet Resort. A special thanks to Greg who takes a lot of time to answer questions and alleviate any worries you might have about leaving your pooch!
My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!
Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!
We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!
This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆
Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!
We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!
This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾
Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.
The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!
We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.
Love the owners. They always respond to messages. They really do love the dogs as they were their own. Very clean facility. Always look forward to our visits.
I took my 1.5 year old husky/German shepherd here for a overnight . Everything from the meet and great, to the drop off and pickup was extraordinary. My dog was able to run and play with other dogs and not be cooped up in a kennel all day. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands . This is the only place we will board our dog moving forward .
I dropped off my two dogs for a day care trial ( a Rottie and a frenchie) at this place thinking that they would take good care of my dogs and hoping that my dogs would have good experience because the owner convinced us that they would be given the care they needed, i warned the owner that my frenchie is easily overheated. Instead my Frenchie was literally dying when we picked her up. She was over heated so bad that her tongue was turning blue, she was whizzing, she couldn't breathe, she could barely walk to greet us. She puked multiple times as soon as i put her in the car!! I asked the owner what happened to her, he asked me back 'I don't know , you tell me what happened to her?'. What The Hell????!!! She was there all day long with him!!! Any idiot can tell my dog was dying!!! I asked him stuff he kept saying he doesn't know. Turned out i figured out that they just abandoned my dogs out in their field without a place to cool down all they long. No one checked on them. If i came 5-10 minutes late to pick them up my Frenchie would have been dead. I thought i lost my baby that day. It was so terrible. Both of my dogs are traumatized in this place. My Rottie ran up to us and jumped straight in the car. Not even a single looked back at the guy. He was so miserable in this place. I could tell. The whole time i was panicking trying to save my Frenchie there was no single apology from the owner instead he was playing dumb/ underestimated the condition of my Frenchie. It was a very traumatizing experience. So much for a good day care experience. More like pay me for abandoning your dogs in my field. Update to my review. The next day my Rotty is sick he has super messy poop and is lethargic. I can only imagine what my dogs been through in this daycare. This place is a nightmare.
I met with the owner in person for an hour and a 1/2 to 2 hours discussing the boarding of my puppy, which ultimately resulted in a "no-go" for my pup--Waffles, a puppy under a year. The discussion was authentic, professional, insightful, and personal. The time and energy spent was heartfelt and very much appreciated. I will see you in a few years!
I left my 2 dogs here (Ellie and Miss Doggy Parton) while I went away for 8 days and cannot recommend it enough! We looked at places in Portland, but did not feel comfortable leaving them at the boarding places we checked out due to lack of comfort on not only our end but our dogs. Finding Bark Run Play seriously left us feeling so comforted knowing our dogs were in good hands! Kerry & Brian are not only kind, but amazing with dogs. One of our dogs is stand off-ish with people and was living on them when we returned back. They even sent us cute photos with a quick update while we were away. The dogs aren’t locked up in crates or stuck in a building all day - they get to run around outside and have a doggy vacation while you’re on yours. We are super grateful we found this place, can’t stop telling everyone at the dog parks, and will definitely bring our pups back when our future plans require it! Thanks Kerry & Brian! 🌞
Bark Run Play is the best dog care facility that you could ever hope for! If you read any reviews at all please read this one if you are searching for a place to take the best care of your animal while you’re away. They are professional, reliable, trustworthy & they have the cleanest facilities at all times, they always send me pictures and updates throughout my trips to let me know that my dog is loving his home away from home but most importantly they truly love my dog. Look no further, you will not be disappointed & your dog will be forever thankful to you for leaving him or her in their care!
I feel like I won the game for my two dogs. I almost felt like they didn't want to come home. It is so refreshing to know that your dogs are having a blast, well taken care of and under supervision of experts in dog behavior while in Kerry and Brian's care. Scheduling was easy, paperwork was thorough and service beyond any expectation I had. Watching my two keep going over to Brian at pick up for pats and kisses rather then charging to get out the door says it all. Charlie and Banjo can't wait to return.
We left our dogs there for 4 days while we flew out of state, and as far as I can tell our dogs had a good time. Before we boarded them, we had to take our dogs to the meet and greet, where we met one of the owners who was very nice and she kinda told us how they run things and showed us where the dogs will be staying. Then when we dropped the dogs off a week or so later we met the other owner, and he was super nice too. They both know a lot about dogs and know how to handle different kinds of breeds and different dogs needs. They even texted us pictures of our dogs during their stay to let us know how they were. All in all, including the low price, the whole thing was excellent and I will definitely come back if I need to board my dogs again.
Brian and Kerry took excellent care of our 11 month old lab. He got to run and play so much during his weekend stay that he slept all day when he got home! They were really good about keeping us updated with text messages and photos of our boy while we were gone, which helped us relax and enjoy our weekend. We will definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them!
We trusted our dogs to the Happy Pet and we could not be more satisfied. One of our dogs, Maggie, is truly a special-needs dog, being very shy and insecure around strangers. We've tried everything, but she just needs a lot of time to warm up to strangers. One reason we chose this place is because we wanted to shake up Maggie's routine some, and give her exposure to strangers. The owners of the Happy Pet worked with her every day, investing their time and energy to make her feel safe and secure; and in one week had her comfortable and happy. Even visitors to our house take longer for her to get comfortable. The owners checked in several times while we were away to let us know how the dogs were and sent us pictures of them having fun playing in their open fields. The kennel is a bit out of the way, but that's part of the magic. They are out in the country and have large open runs for the dogs. While we expected muddy messes, when we picked up the dogs they were both clean and very happy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
Our dogs were happy and seemed like they had a great time. Dinah and Angela were wonderful. Also appreciate the prices, it makes it affordable to leave your pet and be worry free on your trip! Thank you so much, Dianah Dog House
This place is....is.....AWESOME! I own 8 Yorkie's and I am from out of town....and the staff squeezed my dogs into the schedule TWICE :) I REALLY recommend this place....as far as price goes, for me average.....I was not bothered by the price for the quality of work which was done.
Great services. My doggos love it here.
Dinah has been our family’s pet groomer for years and our dogs always come home looking awesome!
I take my dog here for nail trims because he will not tolerate me doing it. They do a great job! They are very gentle and quick and very reasonable price.
I've done boarding for both my dog and my cats. Friendly people. Since I can't take my dog with me all the time, it's nice to have a reliable place to care for my pets.
I had an amazing first experience here and so did my fur babies! They went out of their way to make sure that my dogs were comfortable, and not scared the first time going there. I will definitely be a returning customer and am so grateful to have found such an amazing place! I highly reccomend Dinah's Dog House.
She saw me as a walk-in, even though she was all booked up when I came in with my 18-year-old dog to get his nails trimmed after they were getting caught. Great prices too.
Great place to take your dog for any grooming needs. She dose a great job on my 3 dog nails. And also grooming my sister 17 year old cocker spaniel dog.
I am giving the the highest praise. But when someone request a certain few things. They get cussed out. Well ok. I only tried to talk to Dena. Either way it's all good. She will NEVER GO BACK. ITS a shame cause y'all in the past have been AWEEOME!! She looked totally butchered. I have been screamed at and cussed. Thas t really professional.
Lana’s is the only place our cats have ever been. She has such a nice setup and fair prices. Our two cats have been there about 6 times now, sometimes for over a week. Well done Lana, we recommend your place to everyone we meet that needs a spot for their kittens! Thank you!!!!!!!!
clean and well managed safe place for my dog
Lana is very good with my dogs, I have fostered dogs and she willing takes my personal dogs as well as my foster dogs! She is professional and always available if I need her. I would recommend her to anyone. Your dogs will be treated well and they will be safe! Thanks!
Lana is down right amazing! My dog is a little older and requires special attention and care which she has been able to give him while he stayed there. Would recommend her to anyone
Small operation but they take great care of the dogs and no random hidden fees.
She lost my friends dog. Didn't even really help look for him. She texted her that he was lost, didn't even call her. DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG HERE, IT MIGHT NOT COME HOME.
It's inexpensive and even the local vet recommends her service because Lana will administer medication.
Great safe place for your kids... Going for years now multiple animals never a problem
The best place you could ask for the service and hospitality were exceptional
Lindsay and Matt are THE BEST! I brought my young dog there, 9 mos., and they took such great care of her. Matt took his time to answer all of my questions to assure me that she would be fine with them. From the lighting in the kennels to mirror the time of day at home to quiet time so the dogs could nap peacefully. One of them was always outside with the dogs to monitor them and be sure the "pack" got along ;)They would only let dogs that they felt were a good fit play together on the property. They also took into consideration how young my dog was and took extra care with her because of her age.They were on it! Since I haven't boarded her before I was nervous to leave her. No worries there. Lindsay kept in touch with me with texting and sending pictures. I will definitely take her there again and am so happy and LUCKY that I found them! Thank you again, Lindsay and Matt~
Pogba and Benzema love Woof and Tumble! I have taken my boys here several times and am always thrilled with the experience. I never have to worry because I know how well they are being taken care of. The facility is very well maintained and put together. I swear my dogs sleep for days when they get home because they had so much fun. I would highly recommend Woof and Tumble. If I could give them more than 5 stars I absolutely would. I love that I occasionally get pictures of the dogs having fun while they are there as well.
We love woof and tumble! They've been so accommodating and personable with us, always sending a few photo updates during our dogs stay. Worth the drive up the hills.
This is a very safe, very focused dog boarding facility. If you are a first time boarder, there will be a trial, one night boarding to test if your dog is OK there. The owners do not charge for this night. The reasoning is solid. This insures your dog will be familiar with the environment when the boarding date arrives as well as testing the dog's amenability to the facility. It works! Both Matt and Lindsay are very hands on with dog care. Small and large dogs are managed in like groups. They pay attention to behavior and place dog well-being front and center. I have 2 mini poodles who were well cared for and given attention when there. Minis are attention sponges and they understand the different breeds. Make your reservations early. There is a reason this facility is well booked, the owners really love what they do and it shows. They are devoted to their business.
I have a rescue havanese who has had huge stranger fear. He has been going to Woof and Tumble for 2 yrs. Corey just loves it there. Every time we board him he has become more and more social. In fact, he loves playing with all the dogs, even the huge ones! His socialization has carried over in other places. Matt, one of the owners, has been great with Corey. Matt has trained police dogs so this 20 lb cutie is no challenge to him. Whenever we take him there, as we approach the property Corey starts waging happily and greeting the dogs with his talking bark. We have never worried leaving him at Wood and Tumble. It is a dog haven with lots to outdoor kiddie park toys and pools. Corey is just staying with family when he's boarded! Thank you guys! We love you.
This place is fantastic! I have two younger dogs who are used to playing with other dogs at the park and always get at least 1.5-2 hours of playtime daily. The thought of having them cooped up in a kennel while I was away playing was stressful and sad. I have known Matt for years and think very highly of him. I recently met Lindsey and she’s just as awesome! I was so excited when I found out about their place and brought the pups there. It’s an amazing facility and they simply love dogs! My pups loved it and I got regular updates and photos while I was away. Now I don’t have to feel guilty and can relax when it’s vacation time. I know they’re having fun and being well cared for here. I highly recommend this place.
Updated 8/27/23: I want to renew this review because Woof and Tumble continues to be our local boarding and play kennel serving Clark County friendly Dogs and their much loved people. It is just a great place to take you dog(s) if you need to be away in circumstances that don’t allow you best 🐾♥️🐾 to travel with you. Lindsey and Matt’s pricing is reasonable and I leave my dog always knowing that he is in good, capable and very caring hands with people who love him and who he loves too. I have a black lab, who has been going to Woof & Tumble when I travel for work and can’t take him for the past several years. We didn’t know the former owner, but we are sure pleased that the Hanson Family has the business now. My lab squeals with glee every time we start driving up the canyon to go to W&T. My Boy loves Matt and Lindsey as much as he does me and I always know that he is in the best care available anywhere when he is with them. I always know too when I pick him up that I have returned to a very happy well exercised boy who has gotten to run and play ball with his friends under the watchful and protective supervision of care givers I can completely trust without reservation. The kennel area is clean and climate controlled so the dogs are comfortable year round and the outdoor play areas are clean, well maintained and protected by a high storm fence. Woof & Tumble is a few miles up WRR, Hughs and Skye Roads, but the roads are well maintained and the boarding kennels are very easy to locate. Woof & Tumble is an incredible blessing to friendly dogs and the owners who love them throughout our area and my pup and I are really glad that Lindsey and Matt are a part of our busy lives 🐾💗🐾,
I am one of three chihuahuas that get to hang out at Woof and Tumble, aka "outdoor school," when our owners go away on a trip and don't need our supervision. We are well taken care of, whether it's exploring and chasing woodland creatures that come near our outside realm or getting attention and snuggles from the staff. The folks there make sure we get our meds, prepare our meals, and send our owners updates on how our vacation is going. While we don't provide any revenue to our household, or have any concept of economics, but we feel strongly this is a worthwhile investment into your dog's happiness.
So, so, so glad a friend recommended Woof and Tumble! My two pups (a 12yo geriatric dog and 7-month-old) were well taken care of - food, sleeping, love, safety, structure, AND socialization. We didn't worry one bit while we were away because it was easy to see that owners Matt and Lindsay really understand and care about dogs. My two had a great time at "camp" over the holidays and are tuckered out after all the fun. 5 stars for sure ... I'd give them 6 if I could!
We've had such a great experience boarding our Doberman with Woof and Tumble. She's stayed with them several times now and always comes home happy, tired, and dirty from playing with new friends. With a free trial over night before leaving our dog with them, we felt confident that Matt and Lindsey are not only professional but were impressed that they were willing to take the time needed to make sure our dog would assimilate to their environment. One thing we really love is that the dogs are never left alone when playing together. We've driven up several times during play time, and as promised, someone (often the whole family) is outside supervising the dogs. Other boarding facilities in the area (Running Pond Acres comes to mind) leave groups of dogs unsupervised, sometimes for hours at a time, in an area they won't show owners for "insurance reasons", which is not an environment we would ever want to leave our dog in. The Woof and Tumble team is also super proactive in communication. During one stay, our pup strained her back leg and we were notified as soon as it was discovered, and then received updates after each subsequent play outing she went on. She ended up being totally fine, but we felt good knowing that they were paying attention to her enough to notice a slight limp, and then to reach out to let us know. Our only complaint is that Woof and Tumble is so popular! We're not great at getting our reservation booked well in advance and have missed chances to have our pup stay with them when they've been booked full. We love them so much that we try to convince our friends in Portland and Beaverton to bring their dogs here even though it's so far from them! We don't think there's a better facility around.
Kelsie (& Kind Animal Services) is incredible. She is as compassionate and caring as she is insightful and educated. After a 4 thumbs down experience with another trainer in Bingen, WA, we engaged Kind Animal Services to help build/rebuild our traumatized & timid rescue puppy's confidence, and teach us how to best blend him into our household and lives. She took time to know Wylie and his unique challenges while slowly gaining his trust, first. During these one-on-one sessions we learned a lot about Wylie and gained tools to support his growth. A month-long board and train at her private facility sealed the deal. Kelsie's business name says it all, but don't mistake "kind" for being a "softie". She has been thoughtful & savvy at every step. We highly recommend Kelsie and Kind Animal Services! - Heidi, Tim, Foster and Wylie 🐾
Kelsey is an amazing dog trainer, and was a god~send for us! We were looking for a trainer to help with very specific issues for our 2 farm dogs and feel so fortunate to have found Kelsey. Not only do we really resonate with her approach (really tuning in to the animals, and not using shock collars, etc), but in 1 session she made a ton of progress with us and our dogs on issues we have not been able to figure out for years! She was extremely generous with her time, essentially staying for "as long as it takes," and gave us wonderful follow-up instructions and reminders. And maybe the most important thing is the feeling I had after the session (and that's remained with me) is one of feeling hopeful and encouraged, that we're going to be able to do this with our dogs. We feel so very grateful to have found Kelsey and will continue training with her as needed.
Kelsie has been amazing for our dog and family! She listened to our concerns, came to our house and modeled ways to help our dog who has anxiety. She is very knowledgeable and in all things canine and shared tons of information and tips. She had us practice ways to help our dog that had our dog thinking she was playing games. We have faithfully played our games and incorporated the strategies and ways of doing things that Kelsie taught us and have seen vast improvement in our dog's behaviors. We would recommend anyone with questions or concerns about dogs to contact Kelsie. She truly cares about your dog and family.
I just started working with Kelsie for my Goldendoodle puppy and she’s been a great resource so far. She has given me confidence as a first time puppy owner. She is very responsive and provides me with clear and effective tips to get my puppy on the right track to being a well behaved dog.
Kelsey is fantastic to work with. She came to our house to help us with our reactive, anxious and very sensitive dog. Our dog immediately responded to her. Her presence is calm, confident and clear which is exactly what our dog needed. Most importantly, she shared her knowledge and insight(which was spot on) with us. We were able to see her model interactions with our dog but more importantly, she gave us tips and things to think about that would help all of us change our relationship with him. Since her visit, we have been working on the things she talked about. Our dog has learned SO much, is less reactive and much happier. Kelsey loves her work and it's evident that she is authentic and genuinely cares about her clients. She teaches you how to train your dog. I would highly recommend her services.
Leaving my dog Sadie in Kelsey and Ty's care was felt like a warm blanket around my shoulders. Sadie is extremely reactive, and despite medications and seeing another trainer, nothing seemed to be working with her reactivity. Kelsey was able to see Sadie's behavior at every angle and truly assess possible origins of Sadie's behavior and why things I have been trying weren't working. Before leaving Sadie in her care, I felt like I wasn't good dog mom. Kelsey helped me realize the mental state Sadie was in was the reason she wasn't receptive to training. The medications weren't doing anything because they were the wrong medications for Sadie. I learned that most vets prescribe Prozac for every dog with anxiety, depsite every dog having different needs. Kelsey just seemed to "get it" at a level that spoke to me and Sadie that no one had been able to do before. I've been in endless loops of failed attempts of training for the six months since bringing her home from the shelter. It was incredibly valuable that Sadie was able to stay in Kelsey's care in order to determine why these attempts were failing. I was given a list of protocols after picking Sadie up targeting Sadie's individual needs, and for the first time in six months I know without a doubt that this personalized approach is exactly what Sadie needs in order to heal from her past traumas and live a more happy, relaxed, and fulfilling life. I feel confident in a future where Sadie comes with me on backpacking trips or backcountry skiing without getting triggered, among a multitude of other activites I really want to experience with her where I didn't have confidence before. Not to mention, there were multiple boarding places I called to try to have Sadie cared for while I was on a 10 day vacation, but all of them rejected Sadie due to her reactivity. I was in a panic until the day I needed to leave, and Kelsey graciously offered her services just hours before I was set to leave town. Not only that, she also knew exactly what to do in order to care for Sadie as soon as she met her. I was so worried it was going to be another rejection of care, but instead I got more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you so much, Kelsey. You have a forever client for sure. 🙏🙏
K.A.S.- Kind animal services Rocks! Kelsie is an outstanding trainer! The time Anubis (6month old King Shepherd Puppy) and I spent at the school house was great. Kelsie spared no time educating me and Anubis about confidence building and positive reinforcement training. If I could have stayed the entire day to learn more from Kelsie I don’t think I’d be enough time to soak up how knowledgeable she is in her career. You can definitely tell she’s experienced and most of all passionate about her work with dogs or any animal for that matter. I would recommend K.A.S. Time and time again! I look forward to our next session at the school house!
Kelsie was so generous with her time and knowledge. I wrote to her in anticipation of getting my new rescue dog and she offered up so many helpful tips and resources! When I ran into her at our local dog store she took the time to meet my new pup, advise on, and fit him into, a harness for leash training. Again, she offered many tips and tricks - that are working! I highly recommend Kelsie - I know I will be reaching out to her for formal training.
Kelsie is a very animal trainer. She has a true gift for reading and understanding animal behavior (and their humans!) Kelsie formed a great relationship with our pack: a puppy a millennial and a senior!
I have taken my labs to train several times to Kind Animal Service. From basics to more advanced training, Kelsie brings a positive, informative, light hearted style. My dog learns, I learn, it's a win win.
