Dog Sitters in Boise, WA

Update: Austin and Jennifer are still the best! Our girls have stayed with them a couple times since our first review and every time they get so much playtime and love. Their pricing is fantastic as well! Austin and Jennifer are the real deal! We had our two girls stay with them over Christmas for 12 days and during that time we received frequent and timely updates with photos of our dogs having the time of their lives. Austin and Jennifer have a great set-up for outdoor playtime and even went above and beyond by taking on the responsibility of changing one of our dog's diapers and keeping her clean as she recovers from a booty-surgery. The best part was that each dog got a professional picture with Santa and a Christmas present to bring home - all free of charge. Overall, Austin and Jennifer are THE dog people to watch after your pets - we couldn't be happier and can't wait to use their services again.

Austin and Jennifer are the best! The boys started at just 11 weeks old when we had to take an unplanned trip!! They are loving and caring with the boys! Even though they are crazy they love them like they are their own! The boys get so excited to go and be able to play! If you are looking for a place for your dogs looks no further! As an anxious dog mom they have been nothing but great and I know the boys are in good hands!!

Austin and Jennifer are simply the best. I 100% not only trust them to take the best care of my dog, but I know how much my pup LOVES being there. She’s truly treated like family. They also send photo updates all the time which is fantastic, and they are really flexible with last minute requests - my husband needed surgery this week and they were happy to take my girl in for a few nights! Just the best.

They are amazing. They took on our dog who has recently experienced aggression towards others and dogs. They took her in and had no issues with her. Because they were willing they allowed me to see my daughter graduate basic training. I will forever be grateful for them!!

Austin and Jennifer have been great with our dogs every time we have left them in their care! They are kind and very accommodating with any special requests we may have. Our dogs are more on the high energy side, and we know they are well cared for in their facility!

Austin went above and beyond for my boy Ace. I’ve tried a few different boardings in the area and have had a few issues afterwards. When Blackthorn took my German Shepherd, they made him feel like apart of the family. They sent me daily pictures of them feeding and playing with my boy Ace. I truly felt he was loved and cared for as if he was one of their own. Ever since leaving him with Austin, I will never leave my pup with anyone else. Thank you austin and the staff of Blackthorn. Attached is a photo of my pup that they sent me while I was gone.

Austin is great with animals. I've used them twice so far and every time I've picked up my dog, she's been exactly the way I dropped her off. He has an immaculate kennel setup with indoor and outdoor runs and he even brings them inside. For Christmas my dog got to see Santa LOL!

Austin and Jennifer are a great team! They have built an incredible environment for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Our blue heeler starts squealing with excitement when we hit their road and is so happy to say good morning! I appreciate that he comes home tired and spends his evening relaxing but does not seem exhausted or overworked. They ask questions and truly take time to build relationships with humans and their pets. We are so happy that we found Blackthorn Boarding Facility and highly recommend them!

I highly recommend this place to anyone who is needing there dogs watched. I took my husky beau and my air/lab hank here. Very friendly and knowledgeable and loved the pictures I was sent. I felt reassured my dogs were in good hands!

This place is awesome. It's clean and setup great for daycare or boarding overnight. We do daycare during the week and occasionally overnight. We just left our puppy 4 days and they treated her like one of their own. They really care about the dogs. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Austin and Jennifer. And Jimmy who my dog is obsessed with😁

Kelly is absolutely amazing. Her place is clean and comfortable and the dogs really are spoiled. She spends so much quality time with the dogs .I never worry one bit about my dog when she is with Kelly. The dogs are always happy and having a great time when I’ve stopped by to drop off or pick up. When we are gone for an extended period of time we get pictures and updates. Really puts you at ease when you know your fur kids are getting such great care. We can’t say enough good things about Kelly’s Creature Comforts

Kelly's Creature Comforts is the only place we trusted to leave our yellow lab Gunner with! Kelly and everyone who works for her are amazing. Gunner had allergies and they were always happy to give him the care he needed. He loved staying with them. Now apart from boarding your dog they also have an incredible Sniff Park. You owe it to yourselves and your dogs to check her out.

Kelly's Creature Comforts was so perfect for my sweet Annie Oakley who was not even a year old. I felt like she had a "home away from home " feeling for a whole week. It is such a wonderful facility that provided my Annie with a spacious indoor play area along with lots of room to run and play outside and socialize with other dogs. She had her own little room with comfortable bedding and toys. Kelly is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs (animals) and ensures a safe, very clean & lots of FUN environment for them. I live an hour away from Kelly but I would drive however long it took me to leave my Annie with her!! I highly recommend Kelly's Creature Comforts!! I can't wait for our next vacation so Annie can get some more "Kelly LOVE"!!!

I took my dog, Luna to Kelly's CC this summer while I was temporarily living in the area. Kelly was extremely warm and friendly. After our initial call, I knew that Luna would be in good hands with Kelly - a true dog watching pro. Luna had a few overnights with Kelly this Summer. Luna is a little bit of an anxious/ nervous girl, and Kelly went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable, and helped her eat when she was too nervous to eat. I felt relaxed and at ease knowing that Luna was in good hands with Kelly. I would definitely recommend her, she's fantastic!

I have been a big fan of KCC since my first use of their services six years ago. What started out as stopping by to see to the needs of my five cats morphed into using at-home walking services when I got a dog. I don't think a kinder, more loving group of people who show uptmost care and respect for animals and my home are available in my area. If my non-vocal Husky would talk he'd howl them high praise!

I love Kelly's Creature Comforts. This place is clean, Well organized, loving and is like a real home away from home. My 9 yr old Shepherd,who doesnt like me to be out of her sight, feels at home here and is treated with sensitive care and concern. Kelly really understands dogs and knows how to manage each one. Kelly makes sure that meds are given as prescribed and needed. The bedrooms for each dog are true luxury. There is clean room to play inside and out and sofas for dogs who like to feel at home. This is the only place I would have my dog stay. Thank you Kelly's Creature Comforts Team.!!!

My boy loves the time he spends at Kelly's. He is very social and has alot of energy. I never have to worry about him cause I know he is well taken care of. Kelly's know their dogs!

I have used KCC several times to board my dog and wouldn't go anywhere else. Great facility for the dogs and I know Kelly will treat my pup with great care. She loves to romp with other dogs and KCC gives her all that and more. Cage free fun!

Highly recommend Kelly’s Creature Comforts! They are the best around. My Australian shepherd loves going to dog daycare each week. She gets excited when we get close to Sharon’s and always comes home happy and tired. I know my dog is cared for and loved and gets plenty of exercise. Forever grateful we found Kelly’s Creature Comforts as we never have to stress when we take a trip as I know our pup is getting the best care and feels at home! The best place for your furry best friend!

I really enjoy having Kelly's to take our dog to. He always enjoys himself, and comes home tired after having such a good time. Kelly is great with communications when she has your dog, and is very good at making sure your dog is the right fit for her place. She's definitely made it a home away from home for the dogs that visit.

We love Janice's Critter Care! We've used them several times to take care of out cats while we were away on longer trips. They take excellent care of our cats and promptly reply if we ask for an update.

We started to use Janice’s Critter Care when we moved to Federal Way in 2019 to care for our cat. The peace of mind that her team provides while we are away is most wonderful. Her communication, responsive, and loving care she provides is beyond amazing. This past December we went away when a snow storm arrived and she kept us in the loop on conditions and still made it to see our diabetic cat. Even when the road wasn’t plowed and had to walk to get down to her house, she still made our cat and his health a priority. We are beyond grateful for her dedicated care and services. I highly recommend Janice’s service!!

We have been using Janice's Critter Care since we moved to Federal Way earlier this year. Janice is very responsive and flexible with our changing schedules. Christine always takes excellent care of our pup and makes sure he gets long walks while we are at work. We have had poor experiences with Rover in the past so we were thrilled to find this company. We trust Janice's Critter Care 100%.

Thank goodness for Janice’s Critter Care! This family business has been part of our family for the past few years taking care of our Goldadore Lucky. This team is trustworthy. They have excellent knowledge about animals and they are genuinely good people. We would not trust our dog with anyone else. Our dog loves Janice’s Critter Care and she is very happy whenever she sees them.

Janice is extremely reliable, always willing to work with my requests.we had to be gone for a week, I had 4 cats, (one diabetic requiring shots in am/pm) and an aquatic turtle. I had notes on everyday, they were willing to continue services if needed. The cost of the service very reasonable. I would highly recommend Janice’s Critter Care! I trust them and wouldn’t ever use anyone else!!

Janice and Tim are top notch! We have trusted them with our 2 dogs and entry into our private home for years. They are also great communicators with respect to anything they see during their visit. And they are extremely flexible with our ever-changing schedules. We highly recommend Janice's Critter Care!!

I have known & worked with Janice for over 10 years. Her knowledge & Love for animals can compare to no other. She is highly respected in the community as the Leader in Pet care around the South King Co. area.You get a peace of mind knowing Janices is taking good care of your Pet!! I Can honestly recommend Janice's Critter Care as the Very Best in our area. Reasonably Priced...150% Dedicated to animals...🐾 sincerely Elizabeth Jessie

Filled out the contact form to get an email saying they aren't taking any new clients since September 2023. Why is there no mention of that on the website? Why are you still advertising?

This company is very personal and professional when it comes to onboarding and caring for furry loved ones. My pupper loved his carer and I'm so happy we went with them!! They left notes after their visits, and were very thorough when taking care of my old boy. I will absolutely be using them again and recommending them at every turn.

Tim & Janice have been watching our pets for 10 years now. They not only take care of feeding & exercising our dogs (mostly Newfoundlands, but we got a Rottie mix last year to add something new!), they bring in the mail and check the houseplants to see if they need water. Even better, they are able to look after our chickens when we are gone; managing their food, water and treats and giving them a little time and human conversation while gathering eggs. Our four hens are my "Birds with Benefits" and I would not trust them alone or with someone who would scare them and cause them to stop laying those delicious eggs. No one else has come close to the excellent services provided by Janice's Critter Care! Doug & Cathy

Our chocolate lab loves it here! We take him to daycare weekly, and he’s always extremely excited to go to “school.” Our pooch comes home tired (but contented) after romping with his pals and roaming the yard. We also feel very comfortable boarding him for extended periods of time, and the owners were very accommodating when we needed to travel out of state for a family emergency. The owners know all the dogs’ individual personalities, and they care for them like their own. They genuinely love dogs and I appreciate their practical, common-sense, and cage-free approach. I’m very grateful to Hobo Dog Haven for being our dog’s home away from home!

We left a Dutch Shepherd and 14 yr old Shepherd Doberman here for a weekend. They clearly had a wonderful time playing with other dogs and were so happy . They were looked after with great care. There was plenty of shade and AC. I recommend this place, and owners of dogs can be assured of capable care and special instructions from the dog owners followed carefully by the Hobo Kennel owners.

My 8 year old German Shepherd, Emma, has had some incidences of fear aggression with other dogs in the past, so I was very nervous about leaving her here. We did a half-day trial, and Betsy introduced her to the other dogs slowly. Emma did great. Betsy was sure she would be fine, so we left her for five days while we were away. When we got back, Emma was relaxed, happy and hanging out with the other dogs like it was the most normal thing in the world! I was amazed. Last week we took her to a dog park where there were 11 other dogs, and she greeted them easily with a wagging tail. It's like I have a different dog. I am so pleased. Betsy at Hobo Dog Haven understands dog behavior and can read their body language. I trust her judgment. This was a very positive experience, and we will definitely use Hobo Dog Haven again. It's so much less stressful than a kennel for anxious dogs.

This place is amazing! Very reasonable rates for both daycare and boarding! Our dog started going here when she was old enough to play with other dogs.. We have had very little behavior issues because she is able to get her puppy energy out! I always thought it pretentious to take the dog to daycare, but it helps immensely for bigger dogs and getting that energy out...This I strongly believe has made easier training and cutting out bad behaviors due to boredom...

This place should be named Hobodog Heaven. I originally brought my dog here for week-day dog care, but I have begun to use them for weekends and overnight if we are on a trip where the dog can't go. Our dog Shadow is a member of our family and truly spoiled at home. She receives the same care and attention at Hobodog Haven, the same as if she were with us. So the lawn (field) isn't mowed; so the maintenance is not on par with a sub-division looking home. Your dog DOESN'T CARE. All she really needs is a friendly caretaker, a place to play and romp with the other dogs, meals, and a cozy place to crash after play-time. She gets that and more. The owners Doug & Betsy care about your pet; they are in-tune with how they feel that day and watch over them all as if they were their own. Slightly shabby chic? Trust me, your dog doesn't care, and neither will you if you try them out. Prices are more than fair - about half what I paid in Puyallup. If you want sterile dog kennels and higher prices there are plenty of places to take your dog. If you want a happy, tired, well cared for dog upon your return, go to Hobodog.

My dog loves this place. She gets to play, run in & out, sleep where she wants, and gets plenty of attention. Owner Betsy even let her sleep on the bed one day because the dog seemed "a little tired". Just like home to her. Forget the negative reviews. The price is the best you will find, the care is top-notch and my dog is not in a kennel. Plenty of places like that around that are sterile and impersonal, very few like Hobodog Haven.

We boarded our dog, Eli, for a couple of days. They took great care of him despite him being nervous. It is obvious that they love dogs! They commented on a couple of mannerisms of my pom. It shows an attention to detail and love of animals. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thanks again for taking good care of Eli!

Wow! I read the review by Michael and I have to say I'm absolutely astonished by its' content. My name Is Jim Sequist and I live in Pierce county. I have two dogs, an 11 year old Chocolate Lab (Chase) and a three year old white medium sized dog with black and brown spots.(Cody) My wife and I love our dogs like the family members they are. We have been leaving Chase in the care of Hobodog Haven for as many years as they have been in business. The first time we left Chase there he almost couldn't contain his excitement at seeing and hearing the other dogs. He seemed to be telling us at first glance that he was very happy to be there. Please keep in mind that we were anxious about leaving him anywhere because he, at the time had severe separation anxiety whenever we left him anywhere, even at home alone. After going over Chase's feeding requirements and any other particulars about him with Doug, we thought we were in for a dramatic display of "Mommy, Daddy please don't go!!!. In reality, when we said goodbye to Chase, he didn't even want to stop playing long enough to get his ears scratched and petted. If he could have talked I imagine he would have said something like "see ya, don'y hurry back. I'll be just fine here". We were gone for about a week and when we came to get him he was glad enough to see us to take about 5 seconds to greet us before going back to his buddies. As we were leaving he whined and cried and kept looking back to see the guys. He didn't want to leave. It was several months before we needed to leave chase for a second time. As we pulled into the driveway, he got more and more excited and when the house came into view he began barking as if to say " hey fellas, I'm back. He couldn't wait to get out of the truck. This behavior on his part has been repeated every time we take him back there. We have to go out of town soon so we brought both Chase and Cody in to meet Doug and Patsy. Again Chase recognized his favorite "doggie resort" and Cody was as excited to be there as Chase ever was. We feel very good about leaving our boys in Doug's' and Patsy's care. I can't imagine even considering leaving them anywhere else as long as we live in the area. I hope Michael will read this and re-think his decision to never leave his dog there. Yes, it is true that the property is rather rustic. No manicured lawns or expensive landscaping, but there are multiple fenced in areas where the dogs can run and play. There are secure areas that have trails through the woods around the house where, in Doug's words, the dogs can run around and pretend that they are "ferocious woods beasties". This is a wonderful alternative to most other dog boarding facilities and it should be remembered that the place is set up to be comfortable and enjoyable for dogs not humans. It would be a real shame for someone to read such a negative review such as the one I have referred to and have their pet miss out on a wonderful experience with other pups. Big kudos to Hobodog Haven and to Doug and Patsy for their fore-site in providing such a great place for dogs.

This place scares me. I stopped by to check it out while looking for a place to board my rottweiler. I brought my dog with me to show him around. The person working there let us into a fenced off area just outside of the building the dogs stay in. Outside the place seemed decent like the dogs have room to run around and play. I asked if I could look at the inside and they said no. I asked why, and they said they couldn't in case one of the dogs were to bite me or my dog. They tried to assure me that it wouldn't happen... but I simply can't leave my dog somewhere where they won't let me see the place that my dog is to stay at. For all I know it's poop and urine encrusted on the inside. To be honest the place looked like it needed some serious maintenance. While driving in you can tell that the yard rarely has any up keeping done on it which is a sign to me of a place I don't want my dog staying. I wouldn't suggest anyone ever leave their dog here. edit 12/21/2013 - After reviewing the owner's response I hope people can see how silly they are. Any other place will gladly allow potential dog owners to see where their dog will be staying. The owners of hobodog are going to great lengths to prevent that from happening which only shows they have something to hide. I suppose this would be a great place to leave your dog if you don't care about them at all. I have chosen to take my dog to Happy Tails in Enumclaw. Over two years of occasional work travel I can honestly say Zeus loves Happy Tails.

I took my 10 month old puppy to stay at hobo dog haven over the weekend. He came home with a bite mark across his nose and cuts on his nose and under his eye. He was also limping and lethargic. He is a sweet and non-aggressive dog. When he first came home, he was also ravenously hungry and thirsty. I am so upset he was not properly supervised. I will never take my dog back here.

I just can't say enough good things about Angela's Pet Care, so this will be a long, detailed review. Angela made twice-daily visits to our home for more than three weeks, during which she provided complete care and loving human companionship to our two cats. I can truthfully report that our male cat is IN LOVE with Angela. Our little female cat would be a challenge for any care-giver, because she has medical conditions that require three medications daily, and on top of that, had seriously injured an eye (just before our trip was to begin!) - so required two additional meds twice per day. We were very concerned about leaving that kitty in anyone's care. Angela relieved all of our anxieties by giving all five medications every day, right on schedule, plus she paid close attention to the eye and kept us informed about everything. Giving that many medications to a naturally shy cat might be expected to cause some trauma, but remarkably, we came home to a cat that was trusting, outgoing, confident, and with a healed eye - all a testament to Angela's gentle, able, handling of her, and the special effort she made to cultivate trust and playfulness. (Thank you, Angela!) Angela's Pet Care sets the highest possible standard for reliable, compassionate pet care. Angela has a calm, competent and confident presence that made the cats (and me) very comfortable with her, and was 100% backed up by her actions. She is highly professional and diligent; showed up at consistent times every day without fail; provided all the cat necessities along with brushing, play, and litterbox maintenance; watered our plants; brought in packages; and emailed us many, many visit reports that included photos that put us at ease during our time away. This was the best care imaginable, it far exceeded our expectations, and we're very grateful.

I can't say enough about Angela. She has been caring for our 2- year-old small dog named Titan for 11 months now (2 days a week). Angela took extra time to make sure he would be a good fit to play with the other dogs she cares for before taking him on, which we really appreciated. He is always so excited to see her and the other dogs each morning we drop him off. She has a huge fenced in yard for them to run around in, and let's them hang out in her house and takes them on a walk. Titan is always very tired when he gets home, so we know he gets lots of exercise there, which is great because he is a high energy dog living in a small condo. In a few months we are taking a 9-day trip to Mexico and Angela will be watching him. We know he will feel right at home with her during that time. Angela is also a great communicator and even sends us pictures every now and then. I'll post a few:-)

We are so thankful to Angela for the care and attention she gives our dogs when we need to travel. It eases our minds knowing they are in a loving environment getting a lot of attention from Angela and the other pups with her for boarding and/or daycare. We love that there are other pups there, but not too many like a lot of the other boarding/day care places we've tried in the past. The space the dogs have to explore is secure and safe and inside, the pups are treating like family members! Angela's service request system is easy to use and she is super responsive to questions! She came highly recommended to us from a very picky, zoo keeper friend - so we knew Angela must be good - and she is!!

So glad we found Angela's pet care! We've used her twice so far for weeklong trips out of state. Both trips had flight changes and she was so accommodating by adding or removing scheduled visits. She sends email updates after each visit with details of the visits and pictures! I know my cats are being well looked after with her. Highly recommend Angela's Pet Care!

Angela is the best dog daycare we have found since getting our girl almost 2 years ago. Once I met her I knew I wanted her to watch my Daisy full time and eventually brought her from her original daycare over. I haven't encountered anyone who has been so considerate of the needs for my specific dog, who actually requires special care around meal time. On her own Angela has made the effort to help train our girl in so many different areas helping her to behave socially in a way that actually let's her share how sweet and loving she is. I can't say enough good things about Angela, truly. 15/10 highly recommend!!

Angela was the best day care provider for my dog, Honey! She gave lots of loves and walks. She was attentive and took care of all Honey’s needs while in her care. It was fun getting periodical pictures of my dog’s activities during the day. Angela is accommodating, friendly, reliable, and professional. I would highly recommend her services.

Angela offers a great service As a pet sitter / care taker… while I was away, She visited daily to feed and pampurrrr willow. Thanks Angela, I will definitely be calling you again

I had my dogs here for four days. It was their first experience so, naturally, I was nervous.I appreciated the wonderful pictures Becca sent throughout our vacation and her response time was amazing! The facility was clean and looked wonderful. I'm glad I chose to board my dogs here and will come back!

Where do I begin… To be honest I selfishly do not want to leave a raving review for Becca because I want her all to myself! My family recently went on a family holiday vacation hoping to return after 10 days. Well the PNW snow and Omicron changed things and our return flight home got cancelled. We had to stay back another 3 days since we couldn’t get on an earlier flight. I reached out to Becca and without hesitation she happily eased my stress and anxiety with a reply, “No worries!! Literally everyone has had flights delayed or cancelled. No one has gone home on time. 🤣 I know cancelled flights are frustrating but don't worry about Moe! He can stay until you get back.” And she takes the most awesome pictures & truly loves hanging out with our Moe!

Becca has been amazing with our senior dog, we couldn't be happier with her, she is very professional and passionated, We love her!!!

Our girl was well taken care of! We highly recommend and will definitely send our friends and family your way! Thank you Becca for the excellent job! *****

Becca was simply amazing to work with! She spent over an hour on the phone listening to my concerns, and getting a feel for if her kennel would be the right fit for our dogs (compared to the other kennels I spoke to who seemed more concerned with payment then the dogs’ well being). From the beginning, you can tell she truly cares about what’s best for not only your dogs, but the other dogs that she is caring for. My two dogs Harley & Willow are a bonded pair, and had never been boarded before - they are spoiled rotten, they sleep with us and are allowed on the furniture, so we had major concerns leaving them for a week to go on our honeymoon. Willow has separation anxiety and dog aggression (except to Harley) so she was not a candidate for any group play kennels. I love that Summit is a home to the pups that need special accommodations; before I stumbled on their page I feared we’d never be able to go on our honeymoon. Summit kennels was the only boarder I found that gives one on one (or in our case two on two) attention, full of walks, play time, treat puzzles, the works! And it’s included in the price! I love that it’s not one of those “$15 for a 15 minute walk“ place, this is individualized care, and exactly what we were looking for. We toured the kennel and grounds which are extremely clean, calm, we didn’t hear any barking or restlessness except when my husband spoke too loud so we moved to a different area to talk - a perfect example of how concerned Becca is with ensuring the dogs experience as little anxiety as possible - it was so impressive! Becca is also extremely communicative, she sent us an update within an hour of leaving the pups, and continued daily updates with photos and videos which eased our minds tremendously for this being the first time we’d ever left them. She worked with both on their leash/walking skills while they stayed with her, which were terrible previously. Not to mention she gave us the sweetest framed picture of our pups as a keepsake. I cannot recommend Becca highly enough, she is the reason my husband and I can travel again in the future, I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Our 14 month Golden Retriever spent a month away at Summit Kennels and we couldn't have been happier with the results! Becca did an amazing job training our pup to be the perfect family dog. The facility was exceptionally clean and organized, and the tools/advice she offered us for future reference was very thorough and spot on in terms of animal behavior. I would definitely recommend Summit Kennels to anyone looking to board their pet and we will absolutely return in the future!

I can’t express how amazing Becca is with our babies and what a blessing she has been . We moved up here stressing about my Great Dane because she isn’t allowed at most places. Becca has more then been willing to help . She also has clean amazing facilities a nice yard for them the play in . She has plenty of activities and toys and makes any kind of food Accommodation You can think of . She goes in debt on the personality of the dog so she can work on them individually . She sends updates and pictures that makes you feel so much more relaxed about being away from your babies. I could go on and on about how amazing she is . Best by far .

Becca at Summit Kennels is amazing. With less than a weeks notice she squeezed in our lab Rocky for boarding over the Thanksgiving week. Becca communicated with us the whole time Rocky was staying at Summit Kennels. She even sent us daily photos of Rocky playing or hanging out. The kids really enjoyed seeing her updates of Rocky. Becca also gave Rocky some much needed leash training. He’s doing amazing now!! I cannot say enough good things about this kennel! Becca even had a framed picture of Rocky for us when we arrived to pick him up. My parents were so amazed they are going to board their three dogs. If you are looking for the best kennel your dog deserves, look no further. If you aren’t boarding your dog here, you have no idea what you and your pooch are missing!! I forgot to mention how clean the kennel was. Definitely 5 star! Thank you again Becca!!

Our pitbull loved staying at Becca's place. She sent us a ton of pictures, and he was super happy. We'll never go anywhere else. We're just really grateful she opened her kennels recently. We trust Becca to take care of our dog like it was her own. And bonus, he came back trained to walk loose leash!

Becca and Summit kennels did an fantastic job. We were referred to Summit by our dog trainer. This is the first time using Summit Kennels and by far the longest we have left our dog (10days). I have to say I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The staff clearly loves dogs: we got photos, videos, status updates everyday. I didn’t even ask. Becca and crew played games and did agility training I didn’t know I our dog could do. Apparently our dog can snatch treats from the sky and walk on a balance beam if properly motivated. The actual kennel has tons of room with a built in spot with wood chips for doing business. Our dog came home clean, calm, and well rested. That’s better than I can say for some of my recent hotel stays.

Diane and Chris took the most beautiful care of our boy Makena for 14 years. Keeping him beautifully trimmed and cool during the summer months and winter too. They have loved him through all stages of his life including his aging years, lifting him and gently bathing and laying him on his side to shave and trim when he could no longer stand for long. There really are no words to express our thanks and appreciation for their loving support of our dog and us too as the time drew near. He will always be missed "Makena 2010-2024".

Know the business! Diane's knowledge of breeds amazes me. Tesla Blue, my 11 month old Frenchie, melts into her hands when time for her nail trimming. Found her forever groomer and needed team for my vacation time. Highly recommend!

Staff are very friendly.Grooming affordable. Kennels smelled good. Super light and bright. Able to text them while on a trip, and they are always happy to respond with updates on how pets are doing. Lots of space. Would recommend to take your pet by to see for yourself for an orientation visit. Only feedback to be aware of is if you leave a voicemail and they don't respond quickly, don't let it divert you. They are great and caring with the family members.

Cheyenne has only been going since Dec, but she seems to love it. I was worried about how she would react with all the other animals.... Diane is great 👍🏼 👌 …

We just picked our dog up after boarding him for the 1st time! He is happy and clean! I know he loved running around the huge yard and playing with the other dogs. The staff is very friendly and you can tell they love animals! Bruno will be back for sure!

Our friendly dog loves visiting here. He’s always happy after playing all day. Great for a day visit or longer boarding needs. They do grooming too so you have a tired clean pup when you pick up. Highly recommend.

Love this staff and location! Wish they were closer to us but we make the drive because our pup loves going. I like that they allow the dogs to out and play together. Ours was one tired pup coming home from here. Thanks for taking such great care of our fur baby!

Brought my Rottweiler for a week. Affordable, and she loved the experience from what I can tell the excitement to see her family coming back and the kind treatment they give all their animals. The staff is very kind and generous! They kept track if all our belongings too, and we gave them food, toys, a bed, a blanket, a bowl, a bag, and a bucket! Wanted to be as prepared as possible for a whole week! She got to have an open space to play with the other dogs and freely roam a large grassland. They definitely spoiled her.

The owners and the workers are great. They’re very friendly and attentive and treat my dog as if she is their own. She gets so excited every time we pull into the driveway to drop her off and sleeps like a baby when she is home. Their prices are also VERY reasonable compared to any other place I have looked into. We drive out of our way weekly to bring our dog here. I highly recommend White River Corral.

Great for your fur babies. Caring, attentive to dogs needs. Personal attention given. Each dog has it's own space indoors and out, nice runs. Playtime is in a group setting for nice dogs who play well with other's. Boarding and Day care

We have been taking our pups to Shaggy Shack for years! We absolutely love the staff and the extra care that they take with our animals. This family owned and operated business exceeds expectations every single time. They take extraordinary care with dog behaviors and are experienced dealing with multiple dogs and multiple behaviors. The owners have set their dog yards up so all dogs are cared for and protected. We cannot say enough good things! We have used boarding, daycare and grooming and highly recommend Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and Spa. The Candiliere Family

Went to check it out for our dog, welcoming, friendly, cared, clean, they have dog or cat daycare or over night and grooming!!!

They take care of Koa like he is their own. He's been boarded here twice and have never been disappointed. Whenever we are on vacation and ask how he is doing we get an immediate response with pictures and video clips of him. He loves it here... He is always so calm when we pick him up.

Desiree at Shaggy Shack took great care of our Labradoodle when he went in for grooming, and he came back looking great. This is definitely where we're taking him.

Kicker has been attending daycare here for over 4 years now. We love it. He is such a happy boy when he knows we are doing down the long driveway to the daycare. Thank you for always tiring my puppers out. He sleeps well after daycare.

My husband and I dropped off our dog for 4 nights. She was well taken care of and we got a full report from the staff on her stay when we picked her up. She's so tired from all the playing, she had a blast! She's usually a timid dog but at the Shaggy Shack she felt right at home! Thank you guys for taking such great care of her! We will definitely be bringing her back!

The Shaggy Shack Pet Resort and the staff are amazing and provided such a great experience for my dog, Eliza. This was a new experience for Eliza and she gets nervous, however, Eliza stayed there multiple days and was so well taken care!! The staff obviously not only love dogs but are amazing at interacting with the dogs and making sure my slightly anxious dog was grouped with calmer dogs her size. I was so pleased she was able to enjoy some socialization without feeling overwhelmed. I think she had fun with the other dogs and the great staff! Charles was fabulous at keeping me apprised of her experience and I feel completely comfortable with leaving Eliza in such great hands. The staff and owner care about these dogs as individuals with their unique needs and seem to have an instinct with helping each animal to ensure they have the best experience possible. I highly recommend this well run and caring environment for anyone's pets

Justynes dog grooming is here.. my dog loves going here to her

Friendly staff, affordable and very easy to make an appointment.

Shaggy Shack has been great for our puppy since day 1. He's an ACD and has a ton of energy. We use Shaggy for daycare to help him get the exercise he needs during the work week. They love him like their own and he comes home exhausted. The staff is great and friendly and we've had great boarding experiences there as well when we've needed. It's like a second home for our pups!

Our boy Rico attended Brittney’s pack for a while. He loved it, he’d come home tired and happy. We always felt like he was well taken care of. He is a puppy and Brittney definitely tried her best to accommodate to his puppy needs. He even injured his tail because he was too happy, got “happy tail” one day. He is a little menace and tried to jump over the fence a couple times which caused him to injure his leg but Brittney was always very transparent and informed my husband and I. If your dog isn’t a little menace like ours you should totally go with Brittney’s outstanding business, the puppies have plenty of room to play and they will be loved and cared for. We will miss Brittney’s dog house very much.

If anyone out there is looking for a place that will love your four-legged fur baby like it was their own. Brittany‘s dog house is the place to go not only do they do doggy daycare. They have boarding and they do grooming. I have done all three and you will be incredibly happy with either service you choose to use

Brittney is spectacular! I brought my puppy to her daycare over a year ago and just recently used her for boarding with my 2 dogs who are 1 and 3. My younger girl was a rescue from Mexico and she is very cautious around everyone but she loves dogs, I told Brittney my fears as we would be over 5 hours away with no cell service and she took excellent care of my babies. She helped me out when I didn't bring enough food and she kept me updated with pictures as a bonus! Great prices and always a great experience. so grateful to have a place i trust my dogs to go.

Brittney is amazing! She’s been watching our 3 dogs for 3 years now. We have her drop in on our pups on days my husband and I both work, we also have her help out when we go on vacation. She’s also dropped everything to take one of our dogs to the vet when my husband and I couldn’t make it. I couldn’t recommend her more. Our dogs love her. She’s super communicative and sends us lots of pictures when we are on vacation. We know our dogs are in good hands with her.

Brittney is literally the sweetest person! I searched high and low for a place to let my baby boy Boston have someplace to hang out at during the day while his Dad & I have to work. He is a 7 month old rottweiler that isnt neutered, so not a single place would even bother to acknowledge him or agree to meet him because he didnt meet their "requirements." Well Brittney didnt even hesitate to invite him over for a meet and greet with her pack of pups to see if Boston would fit in with her crew. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and how much she cares for her pack. My boy has been going to her place for daycare for about 2 weeks now and I cannot be happier about how excited he gets as soon as we turn into her lane. He sees her and he goes nuts, that's how I know she is amazing. Because dogs know when they are loved and cared for, and will show it ❤ She sends me updates (because I'm one of those hover moms that worries about everything) and even sent me pic updates to put my mind at ease. if you are looking for a place to bring your pup to burn off some energy, look no further. You will not regret trusting Brittney with the care of your pets.

We LOVE Brittney’s dog house! My dogs get so excited to stay with her, and she takes such good care of them! I would recommend her to anyone!

The best daycare and boarding for your dogs in Pierce County!

This is my niece & she is fantastic with animals. I highly recommend her. She and her soon to be husband have customized their home to accommodate a great pet facility. You won’t be disappointed.

Hi Vivian! I noticed you rated my business a 4 out of 5 stars and I was wondering if you could comment on this? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of caring for your pets. Please let me know if there's something I can do to improve your rating to a full five stars. Thank you!

If you have a WORKING dog, a DOG reactive, HUMAN reactive, ESCAPE ARTIST, PROBLEM PET, our simple household couch potato, THIS is the place for your pet! I will never in my entire lifetime trust anyone else with my dogs besides Country Kennels! I know that when I am on vacation, my guys are in a safe location, with their boundaries being respected and they're safely being taken care of in a clean, well maintained environment by competent, caring employees 24 hours a day! They have indoor/outdoor runs available. Short or long term care. Always accepting reservations and you can book in advance. Day care options are also available. They also offer "hands off" care for those "spicy" guests. You can't just leave your pets anywhere when you go out of town and you definitely need to be able to leave reactive dogs in an enviroment you can trust. I'll put it this way, THIS is the location the families of the local K9 units and working dogs suggested, which is how I found out about them. If you're unsure where to leave your reactive dog, take it from an owner of 2 "A-hole" Corso's, you can trust this facility and their staff with your working dog!!!

We took our cat here for his first stay away from home and he did so well. The kennel sent photos almost daily and gave me updates on how he was doing. I felt very comfortable leaving him in their hands. They let me take him back to his space when I dropped him off, too. They give the cats individual play and free time daily, which was wonderful because I have a very active boy. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be bringing my cat here again when traveling for extended periods of time.

Never bringing my dog here again. She came back with chafing on her paws and snout. They told me that they just now noticed her injuries when I picked her up. Shows that they aren't even watching her. The chainlink fence is not safe for her mouth. She also came back very weak, skinny, could barely walk, and she had labored breathing at night. Very scary she was not the same dog I came in with

We have brought our 2 German Shepherds to Country Kennels a few times but this last visit will be our last. The previous visit I noticed that the blankets we brought were never taken out of the bag, so this visit I brought the beds out of their crates from home along with the blankets they got when they were puppies. We also brought a few toys for each one along with treats, bones and their food. When we arrived to check in I asked if I could go back to set the kennel up with their stuff and was told they no longer allowed people back in the kennel area. That should have been a red flag. When we showed up to pick them up, they had one bed & blanket up front for Kota and I was told they had given Ravens bed and blanket to another owner with a dog named Raven. I was beyond upset, I asked how they could give it to the wrong person if it was in the kennel with the dogs??? I was then told they had their own beds so they didn't put them in with the dogs. Why not say that instead of taking my stuff back to the kennel area in the 1st place. A lady came out and was beyond rude saying it was an accident they gave Ravens stuff to the wrong person and they weren't going to call the person they gave our stuff to since their dog had died after leaving. Wow at this point I'm in tears. This is the bed out of her crate at home and her blanket she had since she was a puppy. So rude to me when they made the mistake. My only mistake was leaving my dogs there. The girl at the counter then asked if any of the toys on the counter were ours, 2 of them were ours. We still ended up missing a new crinkly toy that we bought right before taking them to the kennel and the bones we brought for them both. Once again our personal items were not with our dogs for their use. They didn't give us any left over food or treats and I always pack extra. Now comes the bill they tried to charge us for daycare after we had both dogs bathed(which is supposed to give you an automatic late check out.) They took that off then added a 24.85 service charge. Monday I got a phone call saying the person had brought back Raven's bedding, so I went & picked it up. They couldn't find our new crinkly toy so I'm sure it went home with someone else as well. I don't understand how the kennel could be so negligent. Our babies won't be going back.

The first time I left my dog to go to YTC training for the Army went very great. So great that for Airborne training I decided to take her here again. My dog is 21 plus years old but still eats up her food like a vacuum. Because I had her since she was a pup, her well-being is important to me, I do not mind paying for her if that means she is well. I was gone for 3 weeks. I traveled up to come get her but very quickly grabbed her and headed home. I noticed that she was bathed, but at home I realized that she had lost so much weight. I could feel her bones. I had a conversation before I left about how much to feed her. I usually feed her 2 small cans or a large can a day. I was assured that if she ran out of the food I had bought her, they would give her the food they had. I am not sure what happened. Since I brought her home she has been eating non-stop. It is important that if you decide to board your dog here for more than 2 weeks that you make it clear to the staff to feed your dog and hopefully avoid what I experienced. Especially if you end up paying a lot of money like I did.

Absolutely amazing place. My Mini Aussie Sage was very happy with her stay. She usually is happy to see me at first then pouts for a couple hours after she's been boarded, but this time she was happy to see me and wanted to play for the rest of the day. I take that as a positive.

Wonderful! Took our youngest for a trial run and they were very informative. Offered extra options but didn’t “force” them on me. The pricing was very reasonable. We went back and boarded all 3 of our dogs for a long weekend and it was amazing to not have to worry about the pups while we were gone. All three came back happy 😊.

I was happy with the pride that is evident in this facility. The staff were helpful during my tour. I immediately felt comfortable with using this facility. I boarded Teddy Bear for the first time ever. They were professional and polite and comforting. The facility is very clean, organized, and well staffed. The setting just made me very comfortable in taking my pet here and leaving him in their care. The pictures they posted on the website were helpful and assured me that they were making sure he was in a great place and having fun. When I picked Teddy up he was very happy of course. I noticed how comfortable and clean and relaxed he appeared. If ever I need a daycare or boarding again, I will absolutely take Teddy Bear here again.

Just picked my dog up from a 1 week stay here and as soon as we got home I realized she had kennel cough. Staff didn’t mention anything about it to me, so either they were hiding it or not paying enough attention to her to notice. Very disappointed.

Out of the local kennels I've tried, this is by far our favorite! My elderly dog definitely seems to prefer it, too! They take great care of her, and we usually have them bathe her and clip her nails, too. She comes back happy as a clam, which is saying something since she's super codependent with me!!
