We had such a great time with Hannah and Barrie and their lovely pets. Truman the most loveable puppy and Beulah and Atticus, two very talkative and gorgeous cats. They welcomed us into their home, we had a great dinner together and they provided us with brilliant insider knowledge to the area. They showed us the walking routes with Truman and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. Truman is a big Bernese and loves to play, and we totally fell in love. We work from home and Beulah was the perfect company. While Atticus would pop into our room every morning which was very cute. We are due to return and can't wait. We truly had a great experience in Unterseen and Interlaken.
I could not have asked for a better sit. Fruin is such a sweet and loving dog, he is more than happy to accept treats and pets, and gets along well with most other dogs. He was a joy to care for. Shirley made me feel so welcome in her home. She introduced me to neighbors and other dog walkers and gave me endless recommendations on what to see and how to get around Edinburgh. The entire trip felt like I was visiting family. Would love to come back and do it again.
Akira and Brian were the nicest, best behaved pets I have stayed with in a while! Super cuddly, playful and low maintenance :) I miss them already!!! Nicholas and Becci were super communicative and helpful with any enquiries throughout the stay in their lovely home
This was a perfect first housesit experience. Kevin was a great host, the house is very comfortable, the community is welcoming and Billy is a sweet, well behaved dog. I hope to be able to return in the future.,
I loved sitting for Hana and Tygr!!! They are both so loving! Giving Hana her medication was like a breeze, she came when I called her and was able to take the pill just fine. She was really lovely and wanted to sleep near me, in my srms if possible :) Tygr is so chill and playful. He loved playing with his strings and would come to sleep at my feet. He wanted to be pet quite often and was so loving. Christie is a great host, she explained everything in detail and was available when I needed to communicate with her. Her home is really comfy and had everything I needed. The location is great, a bus stops near the house or you can walk 15 minutes to reach the metro and tram lines. It was an amazing experience! Thanks so much to Christie and her partner for the trust.
Lydia has created a special space where you can hide away for your entire stay. I like the Potrero Hill area, and this sit really gave the opportunity to experience living on a hill! From the internal spiral staircase leading to the bedroom and the deck, to the steep angle of the hill going in and out, you easily get a workout before you've gone one block! Definitely gets you ready to tackle the hills of San Francisco! Minou is a sweet Birman cat, and probably the softest I've ever felt. Know that his meal components require definite attention. Lydia left clear food prep instructions, and tips to entice him to eat so he could be comfortable. Maybe it's me, but I worried when his appetite was not optimal. This sit is best if you're working from home and don't need to venture out for long periods.

Our dog sitter situation fell through, so we opted to bring our dog here for a few days for boarding. They took excellent care of our Pyrenees while we were out of town. Great facilities, good communication, and lots of space for your dog to be social with other pups while you’re away.
Bone-a-fide is a godsend for people with high energy dogs. I used to spend a minimum of two hours after my workday making sure my 18 month old pup got enough exercise and mental stimulation. Now, on days when he goes to daycare, we both have peaceful evenings at home. (Pictured: a very sleepy post daycare Cowboy) Additionally, the prices are beyond reasonable, everyone who works there is very kind, and they ALWAYS put the well-being of the dogs first.
We boarded our 2 Dachshunds for the first time with Bone-A-Fide and are so glad, that we found that place whenever we need to board our 2 pups. Staff is very friendly & responded to emails right away to let us know, how the dogs were doing (thanks so much Brittany:)) - we can highly recommend the place!
My rascal of a terrier ABSOLUTELY LOVES going to daycare at Bone A Fide! He can’t wait to play with the big dogs all day and comes home a very happy and tired pup! Every one of the staff that I have met has been friendly and clearly enjoys working with the dogs. I am confident that in their care he will be safe and well cared for! I can’t recommend Bone A Fide enough! A happy customer for over a year. (Photo post a day at Bone A Fide)
I have never had a dog here but I want to leave a comment for Kristi Ellis, who explained why she didn’t want to ever go back. My name is Lonnie. I had a Doberman who needed a lot of room to run and I couldn’t give it to him. I ended up let this dog I really loved, go. He needed to be a dog so bad. They did not have a place like this when I had Blue. Ma’am your dog really wants to be a dog, not a human. Dogs want to have fun and play. None of us are perfect. Not any business not any human or animal. We all are placed here on earth to figure this place out and do the very best we can. This business is no different. Perhaps they need some suggestions or constructive feedback. Please don’t turn your back on them because of a mistake. This place is trying something that they feel is good for the animals. This is the first of there kind. They are trying and they need support of people like you and me. Look over their ads and what they advertise. For me, it makes me want to go get a job there. It’s not about us, it’s about the animals well-being! That alone speaks volumes. That’s so cool! God bless you and yours. I really hope for your animals sake and for you being the owner and able to provide your four legged friend a fun place to go when he or she cant have you! Please reconsider your decision, that’s what your animal is saying.
Our dog loves it here and they are such kind people. Worth the drive from Seattle for a place with more space for the dog to run around when we are out of town
I'm sorry but I don't care what kind of business you have when your female driver, driving in a company marked van can be so selfish and rude on the highway. Am I supposed to take your info and call you for service when your driver in the company van brings everyone to an abrupt stop, dangerously, going 65 miles an hour in the toll lane, so she could illegally cut over across the double white line so that she could get off at the 522 interchange towards Woodinville, across all the lanes on southbound 405 so that she didn't have to wait in line like everyone else? Let's not forget about the part where, when everyone was honking at her, she blew everyone kisses and was a completely rude and unprofessional person. (in the COMPANY vehicle.) No thanks. I will forever tell anyone who will listen how unprofessional this company is, and how I would NEVER want my dog being transported this way. Someone who can't even control themselves while completely representing their business name and number doesn't need access to my loved ones or my patronage. I would not recommend this to anyone, especially my loved ones.
Our 2 year old hound mix has been going to Bone-A-Fide for a couple of months now, and she absolutely loves it! Our dog has more energy than two working parents can possibly burn off with morning and evening runs/walks, so the dog ranch has been a life saver for us. Our girl comes home calm and tired, and ready to relax for the evening. A big bonus is that there is a shuttle service available for certain areas around town, so she gets picked up and dropped off at our house each day. On the days when I go to the ranch to pick her up, she doesn’t even want to leave. I have to drag her out of there, so you know they are having a great time!
I've been taking my puppy here for a little while now, and they are amazing. Four, my pupper, comes home tired everytime he goes to daycare - which is so helpful as he's a very active Australian Shepherd. When I drop him off in the morning, he is always super excited and runs to the office so he can go play. All the employees I have met are nice and know Four. Definitely recommended for people with high enery dogs who love to play with other dogs.
Really struggled finding a boarding facility with access to the outdoors. The staff are knowledgeable and kind and I really appreciated their quick response over email.
Barley always seems excited when we pull into Kara’s driveway and gets a good variety of walks and yard play while she’s there. Kara is great at communicating leading up to each boarding and sends lots of pictures and updates while our pup is in her care.
My dog Millie LOVES being at Kara’s! She and her husband provide loving care for her and always send me pictures and videos of what she is up to! I have moved farther away since our first visit but make the drive for future visits because I trust them so much and know Millie is so happy when there. I do not hesitate to recommend!
Brag alert: Our dog child was Kara’s first foster child! That said, she and her business is the best place our dog ends up when we are always from our house. Kara has a natural knack to make dogs simply adore her as illustrated by the fact that if we even take her name with our German Shepherd, he starts to run around all excited. That’s how much he loves to be with her. Kara is always keen to host all her dog clients and she takes very very good care of them. Her attention, care and the large space that she has in her property literally a Disneyland for all the dogs that come to stay with her. Our guy plays so much when he’s at her place that it takes him a good 2 day to recover. Pleased with how well she is with our child, we’ve recommended her to quite a few of our friends and even they cannot stop raving about just how amazing Kara is. The moment we take the exit to Kara’s our dog gets the confirmation that he is in fact going to Kara’s and his excitement is beyond controllable. We absolutely love seeing pictures that Kara sends us regularly and all the updates. My family and I am so thankful that we have Kara to trust with our puppy whenever we are out of town.
I cannot say enough great things about Kara and how much our pup Max LOVES going there. When we get within about a half a mile of her house to drop Max off, he is whining and crying, and can't wait to get there! In his mind, he is headed to doggy Disneyland! Kara and her husband have a large beautiful home with big indoor spaces for the doggies to roam, toys everywhere, and a gigantic backyard for lots of running and play. There are dog beds everywhere for comfy naps and the dogs all love all the snuggles and love that they get there. Max has a smile on his face in every picture that Kara sends me while she's taking care of him! She is trustworthy, professional and is worth every penny we pay for her to care for our baby. I won't take our baby anywhere else and it's nice to have the peace of mind when we leave town that Max is loved and so well taken care of!
Listen people… I am one of those weirdos that does NOT like to leave their dogs anywhere and when I do I’m texting every 2 minutes about how they are and what are they are doing. In the past that has really hindered my love of travel. Kara is the only person I will leave my dogs with. THE ONLY ONE! I will change my travel plans to make it work. She is amazing. Her “dog house” is a dogs dream, mine don’t even look twice at me when they realize we are at Kara’s. I don’t think twice if they are being cared for. I get to enjoy my time knowing they are safe, loved and secure. I lost my little Yorkie last year and she and her husband were the only ones he loved outside of me. I don’t have enough good things to say about Kara’s Dog House. You will absolutely not regret having your dogs stay with her and they will have the best time. She communicates, sends me pictures, keeps me updated and I never have to ask. 100/10 would recommend to anyone!
Our dog happily sprints to Kara's front door every time we drop her off. I think that's the greatest compliment and proof she loves spending time there, which makes it just a little easier whenever I need to leave my furbaby. Cynthia comes home clean, smelling great, and definitely pooped from all the exercise and stimulation. Kara has been our first call the past 3 years when we need a dogsitter and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Kara also sends lots of pictures!
Kara was suggested to us from a neighbor. She has the best home set up with a huge fully fenced yard. Our chocolate lab loves going to her house and playing with other dogs. I also like how it’s a “home” feeling for him, not just locked in a kennel like other places I’ve been. She has plenty of toys and sends pictures with updates. I really like that. Kara is our number one go to person! Highly recommend her.
Our experience with Kara was wonderful! She gave us constant updates and pictures so we never had to worry. Our dog looked like he had a great time!
Our experience with Kara’s Dog House was great! My dog stayed for several days and Kara sent photos of him having a blast. He can be a bit timid in new places but she made him feel comfortable right away - even to the point of understanding his nervous cues and bringing his food to him on his bed! He was treated like a prince and we were so grateful for Kara’s attentiveness. Definitely will board my dog there again!
From our first meet and greet with Kara we knew instantly she would be the person we trust with our dog Wilson (he’s the black doodle). You can just tell that Kara and her husband treat him as their own and the fact that Wilson can’t contain his excitement when we pull into her driveway is all the comfort we need. She is very good about sending video/picture updates that shows us just how much fun he’s having. He ALWAYS comes home happy and tired! Kara’s Dog House is the only place we will send Wilson when we need overnight care or just a day of play! We highly highly recommend!!
Terri , Nyasha , Kayli and they rest of the staff there are very friendly, knowledgeable and love what they do. If you want your dog to get social interaction and playtime by people who really care about your dogs best interest , Dogs A Jammin is the place to go .
We have been sending our huskies to dogs-a-jammin for several years now when we are out of town. They love it here and have a great time! Luna, our older husky, needs daily medication and the staff is wonderful at making sure she gets everything she needs. Highly recommend!
Dogs A Jammin’ is a great place to send your dog! We have been sending our dog here for at least 10 years and we have 0 bad reviews! They take photos every day and post it on their facebook for you - they make sure to capture every dog! They treat them super well and you can definitely feel confident that they are being well taken care of. They send them home with a treat and a report card which is usually filled with tons of nice comments! I highly recommend.
They took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town for three weeks. She had a bath there and was nice and clean when she was returned to me. Looked happy too. My dog is older and they went out of their way to adjust to her preferences and make her comfortable by not crating her and putting her alongside the smaller dogs even though she's a medium sized dog.
My Leonberger Grizz is always happy to go there and is in great shape when I pick him up. I'm very confident that Grizz enjoys his time therw.
My dogs love going to Dogs-a-Jammin! They are excited when we arrive and relaxed and happy when we leave. Could not ask for better care. The staff is amazing. I am so grateful to Terri for offering such stellar care for her clients fur babies.
Our dogs LOVE to go to Dog’s a Jammin’! The staff is top notch, and you can see this by how much they love your dog. If you are looking for a place for daycare or to board, this is the place to go! The dogs spend most of their day outside playing which I think is so important instead of playing inside a big room. In the summer, out come the little pools which is a favorite of my dog. You can see what your pups are up to because, everyday without fail, they post pics of your dog. My dogs always leave there just as happy as when I first dropped them off.
We've been using Dogs a Jammin with our 1-year old mini aussie for a while. Their daycare is amazing. We are so happy with it. On our dogs birthday they had a little celebration. They put up photos everyday and send you home with a report card. We've been using it for years for our parent's dog as well. Fantastic service.
Dogs-a-jammin is a great place to bring your pup! Plenty of space to run for the dogs, and a great staff that loves each and every dog that comes in! Terri does a great job and even takes dogs with special needs... you can't always find that! Adding to all of the great things Terri provides, she also provides a home for foster dogs in their quest to find their forever homes! A great, fun place for your pup if you want a happy and tired kiddo at the end of the day!
Our dog has been attending daycare at DAJ for over 10 years. We never worry when she’s there. She’s treated like family. As she’s moving into her senior years they’ve adjusted her schedule to meet her needs. She still gets excited as we drive down the road to get there in the mornings. She’s excited to see everyone and to get her day started.
So happy my dogs can be safe and taken care of at PPL. Beautiful location with substantial space indoors and out. Lots of fun things the puppers can do- playgroups, cuddle sessions and even swimming! My son even worked there this summer- I heard nothing but good comments from him- so the inside review is 5⭐️ too. Thanks from Shelby & Leia!
We have used Paradise Pet Lodge for 10 years. In my trip planning phase, they always get checked with first to ensure dates are available and if not I will readjust my vacation. My furkid usually has more of a vacation than I do to be honestly. They also know how hard it is to leave him and do a great job providing me comfort while I am away, which let's me relax and enjoy my Vacation more. Thank you to the whole team of Paradise Pet Lodge for loving Lihue.
We've been boarding our dogs and cats with Paradise for over five years. Our cats also go in for regular grooming with Katrina, and one of our dogs goes to biweekly therapy swims with Katie. It's a bit of a haul for us to drive out there but this place is *100% worth it*. The staff, the level of care, the meticulous grounds--the pride of place and ownership is very obvious. The best part--and this is counterintuitive--is that they will say no when they are full. We actually love that, because it demonstrates true integrity, and they will not cram animals into spaces and promise enrichment activities when there is no space or staff available to do so. That said, book early! They fill up quick, and it's obvious why. Ask for a tour during their daily scheduled tour hours; they are fully transparent and very cheerfully will take you around their facilities.
So happy I found this team! Theybare great with my dog. And the grounds are beautiful!
Wouldn’t trust anyone else in WA to look after Belle! The staff are amazing and the activities, grounds and suites are great! We trust this team with the care of our fur baby! We love the report card after each stay to know what she’s been up too! Very cute… Highly recommended
We bring our puppy here sporadically for day care and he seems to love it. We choose three different activities for him for the day and most times he comes back home happy and exhausted. The staff are friendly and accommodating.
This place was recommended to us by a friend living in Queen Anne, shows how great they are! They're pricey but worth it. Their website makes it easy to request boarding. Only downside is sometimes the summer slots fill up quickly. Our 2 dogs love this place. I never hear any distressed barking whenever I drop them off or pick them up. Our puppy loves group play and our older dog loves his individual snuggle time. The report cards are great. If your pet needs medicine during their stay, they can administer it and they've never missed a dose in the 10+ times we've used them. Even during a family emergency, they called us concerned about not having enough pills and we were able to get them more and extend the stay with no problems.
Took our Aussie for a swim at Paradise today and it did not disappoint! The staff was phenomenal as always and I walked away with a confident, blissfully tired and bathed (!!) pup! I would highly recommend this facility for all they have to offer! Thank you Paradise staff! See you again soon!
Excellent Doggie Boarding. Clean, friendly. My Dog is always well taken care of there.
My dog is always excited to go there. The staff is very friendly and they seem to take good care of the boarders. We would call everyday to check in and they would always give us updates on how he's doing and if any concerns etc.
I can’t recommend Roscoe’s Ranch enough! My dog Piper has stayed here multiple times, most recently for 6 nights, and I’ve always had an excellent experience. Heather is very friendly and accommodating, always quick to respond to messages. She even sends adorable puppy updates with photos, which I really appreciate. The setup at Roscoe’s Ranch is great, you get to walk your dog to their own temperature-controlled enclosure with an attached outdoor space. It’s clear that the facilities are thoughtfully designed with pets’ comfort and safety in mind. A bath is included in the stay, and they provide a detailed report card at pick-up. This includes information about bathroom habits, eating patterns, and even your dog’s temperament during their stay. Most importantly, I always feel confident that Piper is getting plenty of love, exercise, and playtime while she’s at Roscoe’s Ranch. Heather and her team treat her like one of their own.
Our pups have been going to Roscoe’s Ranch since we moved to Seattle in 2018. We whole heartedly trust Roscoe’s with our pups. We go on vacation knowing our pups are taken care of and they enjoy exploring the ranch.
Came here for an interview. It was a lovely ranch to visit. It was very clean and the dogs had access to heated indoors and outdoors to have lots of fun and potty breaks.
My pups favorite "vacation home"!! Such great care taken, smaller size kennel overall, and simplified pricing structure (one fee covers boarding and activities). The only downside is they book up fast.
Our senior dog stayed at Roscoe's Ranch while we had to go out of the country and we could not have picked a better place for him. He ended up having some health issues and we couldn't believe the care and attention the staff provided to him. They went above and beyond to make him safe and comfortable and gave us such peace of mind about being so far away. Roscoe's Ranch is a beautiful facility, but more than that, their staff is the best you can ask for. They are so kind, responsive, and understanding. I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you to Heather, Michelle, Ruby, and everyone else for making Tucker feel like one of the family. He could not have been in better hands.
Struck gold here. I've never experienced a boarding facility like Roscoe's. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They're welcoming and return emails very quickly. Not once was I worried my boy was in bad hands. The second time I boarded him, he was really excited to see Vanessa and didn't show any fear of the facility, so I know he was loved the first time around. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for that peace of mind when you're out of town (or even staying in town)!
I will never take our dogs anywhere else for boarding! The ranch is clean, spaces are large indoor/outdoor, the staff is extremely friendly, it's close to Seattle, and my dogs had a great time. The prices are better than they are at the PetSmart pet hotel, and our vet clinic. Plus, they get more play time. This place will not nickel and dime you, either. Simple, easy, and trustworthy. The main reason I'm writing this review (I rarely ever bother to review places) is because of how they handled a situation with one of our dogs while were were completely unreachable in Mexico. Our dog's foot got irritated, and they ended up getting him seen by our vet. They didn't just take him to any vet, they took him to OUR vet, which is probably about 45 minutes to an hour away. It was during walk-in hours, so they had to wait for our dog to be seen, get examined, and receive medication for his irritated foot. The dog's foot is fine, but the fact that Roscoe's Ranch took him just in case speaks volumes. We will not be taking our dogs anywhere else when we travel, ever again! They will be getting a lot of business from us because we travel for weeks at a time, several times a year. This place is the best, hands down! Look no further.
I LOVE this place. I love this place sooo much that I just returned from a 2 week trip to Italy with my mom, and the only place I trusted to care for my two Weimaraners without concern is Roscoe's Ranch - so I drove from Phoenix (where I'm currently on contract) to Seattle to to fly out....BECAUSE of Roscoe's Ranch. No joke. These girls are THE BEST. I almost hate to leave a 2nd review (selfishly) because they are already booked out way in advance, and more positive reviews equals more customers, BUT this place deserves it. When they have my pups, any concerns are always communicated, pupdates are always provided, communication is always prompt...I mean, they are irreplaceable. I will return to them as often as possible and any time in need. They have set the bar so high, that everyone else is simply unacceptable. Thanks again, girls:)
Great place to board your dog, you can tell they really care. You get regular updates/pics, and they were very accommodating in allowing us to pick our dog up a day early when we got home earlier than expected. And - they forgot to send home our dog’s favorite stuffie - I offered to come pick it up but they hand delivered it to our house! We will definitely be back next time we need boarding.
Roscoes is the most amazing boarding facility. We sent our 3 dogs for our wedding and they came back exhausted, happy and healthy. Looking forward to our next vacation
I have hired Cascade Kennels for both boarding and training, and I couldn't be more pleased. Their service was great and their cost was reasonable. My dog loves it there - it's like puppy camp. In addition to their awesome boarding facility (you should get a tour, it's really cool!), they offer a la carte options for boarding like daily walks, special meals, grooming, even some human cuddle time. They were great with handling my dog's dietary needs as well. They were also patient with me and my check in calls. They are really cool about letting you call in to check in on your pup. If you want to spoil your dog while boarding, this is your spot.
We recently moved to Woodinville and I took my dog here for a grooming (significant trim for summer weather). They did an outstanding job! My dog is not easy since I am the one who typically gives us a bath but they had no complaints and seemed grateful for the time they spent with her. The property is gorgeous (it felt like a 5 ⭐️ hotel/spa for doggies) and the staff was attendant + nice. We will def return! Great experience :)
First time we’ve boarded our dogs here and unfortunately will be the last. The Good: Nail trimming and grooming services were great. The facility appears to be very well maintained and staff is responsive. The Bad: Our dogs did not get all of the additional walk/play time we requested due to staffing issues. They did not make us pay for the missed days but that’s not the point - kennel is clearly over capacity for the amount of staff. Both of our dogs came home with horrible kennel cough that we are still dealing with and is going to cost us more $$ with a visit to the vet for antibiotics.
We pay for extra services and every stay they miss several activities. They don’t charge us so they think that makes up for it. It doesn’t. We book with the understanding that our pet will be receiving the services requested. Last time they told us the reason he missed daily activity was that they had too many dogs staying with them. Ummmm… then take fewer dogs? He gained 5 pounds during the 6 day stay! I had to look closely to make sure it was my pet. They blamed the fluffy blow out from the groomer (he’s a Lab_ why would you do that?) Then asked me, “haven’t you had him professionally groomed before?” Also, don’t use the wrong pronoun for the person at the front desk. You will rudely be corrected. Done with this place for good.
Do not bring your dog here for boarding. The daily price you pay is only for the use of the kennel. Unless you pay for expensive “add ons” your dog is locked in a kennel all day. They told me they had to take my dog out on potty walks because she wouldn’t go in her kennel, and those walks are $8 each. So she was only let out briefly twice a day to use the bathroom. I was not explained this setup at all upon booking or dropping her off so please don’t make the same mistake. I have no idea how a company could treat animals like this. The humane society provides better care to shelter dogs.
For the last three years, the team at Cascade Kennels has taken excellent care of our cat each time we've traveled. Upon returning home, my cat always goes right back to his normal, happy self as soon as he gets out of his carrier, which I believe to be evidence of how comfortable he is there. The campus is lovely. There is a beautiful pond outside of the playrooms where the cats can watch birds and bunnies. They have consistent staff, so there is always someone there who he knows & is comfortable with. They take thorough notes about even the littlest things & go over it with you at pick up - for instance, our cat is prone to eye irritation & occasionally gets a little squinty in one eye for a day or two (no cause for concern, according to vet & second opinion), and they even noted that. I am confident that they would notice & respond appropriately if our cat needed medical care. The cat condos are clean and comfortable. There are multiple cozy spots to sleep so regardless of whether your cat is a climber or a flopper or a hider, they will feel comfortable there. They even remember to sprinkle a little bit of freeze-dried chicken on our cat's food like we do at home. I truly believe that Cascade is the next best thing to being at home. We are able to be present and enjoy our vacations because we know our beloved cat is safe, happy and well taken care of while we are away. I'm sure you will feel the same way.
Been bringing my dramatic Shiba here for grooming, and they have been doing a fantastic job! Beautiful location and super friendly. Highly recommend!
Cascade Kennels provides excellent service in a great location. Our groomer, Helen, consistently delivers amazing cuts for our Havapoo, whose hair often gets tangled. Helen is able to skillfully remove the tangles while keeping her hair long. She's not only professional but also incredibly friendly. I would highly recommend her services to anyone, and I often tell many people about the positive experiences we've had there.
Amazing kennel, I can trust them completely with my two doggos. They offer great activities, my dogs are actually excited to go with the staff when I drop them off, and the price for value is fantastic. They handle the fresh food with no issues and very responsive to calls/emails for questions. They definitely are a true professional kennel.
I'm a former employee and Cascade Kennels is a GREAT place to board your animal. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I had a great time working there during my early college years!
Melanie has cared for my Boston Terriers for 8 years. Caring for dogs is her dream and it’s a family business. She handles groups of dogs calmly as leader of the pack. We have left our dogs with her on daily basis for doggy day care while at work and our dogs have come home happily exercised. We recently left our dog for 2 weeks for vacation and she was healthy & happy. She is always excited to return to Melanie’s. We fully trust Melanie and Travis with our dogs.
Can I please have more than 5 Stars??!! Outstanding, loving and fun place for our 3 dogs! We were in the middle of moving so decided to board our 3 dogs so they would be less stressed with all the boxes and people and all. We found Melanie and the SouthPaw Dog Ranch and it was an absolute life-saver! She's so sweet and kind to the pups and lovely to work with. Things went a little sideways in our sale but she was able to accommodate all our shifts in plans. Her communication was excellent! We just picked them up today and they are all so happy and healthy, shiny clean, well fed but all of them lost weight with playing all day! I just couldn't think of a better place to care for our dogs when we're out of town! Thank you Thank you SouthPaw!!
Felt so comfortable leaving my dog in their care. She was well taken care of and had plenty of room to run around outside. The space is ideal for dogs and I like that the owner had experience with veterinary care too. I am definitely taking her back for other stays.
Melanie has done a fantastic job in watching our Westie (Lily Mae) for an afternoon and/or overnight. She loves playing with all of the dogs there and also gets to play with her brother Archie! We could not ask for a better environment . I highly recommend Southpaw Dog Ranch!
Melanie and Travis treat my dogs like family. I have peace of mind when I’m traveling knowing that my babies are loved. 💙 …
Left our pup with Southpaw for 2 weeks, which was the longest we've ever been away from her, and came back to a happy, well cared for dog! Great peace of mind knowing that Mel and her team are watching over our girl while we're out of town.
Melanie gives me peace of mind when I leave my fur babies with her. She treats them with love and respect and that's all I could ever ask for!
Southpaw is a primo pup spot to sit and stay whether it's a single day or longer boarding. Our dog comes home happy and tired every time. Treat your pup to a stay at Southpaw!
Melanie was great and gave our dog a lot of care. Highly recommend
Your dog will come home with a smile on their face.
I could not be happier with CHP! The property is expansive but secure, the dogs are cared for and provided with lots of attention. We recently moved our pup from another local spot, due to its size and ability for our dog to play in a larger space, and it’s been amazing…she seems more tired after for sure! But, the absolute best part is the staff. It’s obvious they all absolutely love what they do, love the company and love the dogs. I am greeted every time I drop or pick up, with positive energy, and a customer focused attitude. I know this is transferred onto the dogs. They are also super flexible, no crazy packages, max days requirements and no kennels when boarded. I just text, get thumbs up, and go! Amazing place!
We love camp (all photos were taken by camp employees)!! I had a Covid puppy that I didn’t want home alone when we went to work and picked out camp because she has always loved the wilderness and knew she would have so much fun in the environment camp fosters. When we decided to get a second dog, Becky (camp owner) was one of the first people I talked to about it! Both my girls go twice a week and love it, my youngest sometimes plays dead dog at pick up because she doesn’t want to leave. I love keeping up with their instagram and the staff are so committed to the dogs that they asked what commands we use at home and started using them at camp (my Aussie has unmatched recall now when you say place). They always come home happy and well stimulated and that’s all I could ask for in a daycare!
The only place I trust to love my dogs when I'm out of town. Camp Happy Paws is amazing! From a safety perspective, the staff is attentive and dogs are fully supervised 24/7. When one of my dogs was howling at night, I heard about it, and what they did to address it. So reassuring! Beyond that, dogs get to run and play with friends all day on a great property. My dogs come home exhausted and not at all mad at us for having left them - they enjoy the experience too much to even miss us. The instagram photos and videos are a great touch. It's always so fun seeing how happy the dogs all are. One extra note - I have one "normal" dog and one other dog who started life in poor circumstances and needed to be rescued. The extra care the team takes with my rescue dog is incredible. I'm so grateful to live near this wonderful business.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely incredible experience at Camp Happy Paws with our dog Giddy! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the owner, who is not only wonderful but also incredibly personable. She and her team go above and beyond to ensure each dog feels comfortable and loved. During Giddy’s trial, she was quite nervous. To help her adjust, they thoughtfully placed her in a room with two larger, friendly dogs. They took their time with her, waiting until she was ready to come out, which meant a lot to us as dog parents. Giddy stayed for 8 nights, and I love that Camp Happy Paws doesn’t use crates; the dogs sleep in beds! Every day, Becky sent us pictures and text updates to let us know how Giddy was doing, putting our minds at ease while we were away. After her boarding experience, we took Giddy to daycare yesterday and she absolutely loved it! (first picture is of her on her way home yesterday evening) She was so excited that today she seems a bit down — I think she misses her new friends and of course Becky🐾 It’s clear that she understands the word "daycare" now, and we're thrilled to see her so happy and safe at Camp Happy Paws. We adore how much the employees genuinely care for the dogs, and it's hard to imagine finding a place like this in Arizona. Thank you, Camp Happy Paws, for giving Giddy such a fantastic experience! We highly recommend it to any dog owner looking for a loving and safe environment for their furry friends! And I’ll be honest - we first took Gidget to paradise pet lodge and to be honest she seemed a bit traumatized once we got home. Instantly after this trial at Camp Happy Paws, she was back to herself and even happier🐶 The Kempa’s
We rescued a 4 month old Cavalier from a neglectful breeder situation in February, she was super shy and struggled a lot with social confidence and being around other dogs and new people. Because she's so little and she was so nervous, the owner of Camp Happy Paws (Becky) took Ginger under her wing and invited her to play with her own Cavalier for a few hours a week. Becky took care of Ginger like she was her own puppy, and over time Ginger totally blossomed into a new dog! She now attends camp 2-3 full days a week, and is known as "The Party Animal" at 10 months old. She went from a nervous, socially awkward, and insecure puppy to a confident and happy dog that has the most fun at camp every day she goes. Cannot thank Becky and her wonderful team enough, they were instrumental in helping socialize Ginger, and I would have paid hundreds more for the care and love they showed Ginger and us. You can't go wrong with this daycare; they love your dog like their own, they provide amazing social situations for young dogs to learn in, they're flexible with payment schedules and they're super affordable, and you get to pick up a happy and tired pup at the end of the day! We couldn't be happier with Camp Happy Paws and the staff there.
We just moved here from out of State and this is the first Doggy Daycare of this kind I’ve ever seen. All fur babies get to be outside all day in a forest like setting with lots of room to run and play. The staff is giving heart-warming care and is always happy to offer advise and recommendations which is especially helpful for a first-time dog owner like me. This place made such a difference to our family – it’s giving me balance and breaks and I know that my dog Mac is well taken care of. We come three times a week and whenever I say “lets go to daycare” – Mac gets so excited and is running to the door. I am so thankful for Camp Happy Paws and would highly recommend it!
My partner and I had a lot of trouble finding the right spot for our Ruby and we are so happy we found camp happy paws. Our girl has resource guarding issues but otherwise loves to play and run outside, camp happy paws was perfect (they are a no toy facility and fed her alone for us). The whole team at Happy Paws embraced her for all her sassiness and she had a wonderful stay while we were out of the country on vacation! Becky was so wonderful and updates the instagram with pictures and videos every day so you can check in with your pup. Highly recommend this place :)
Camp Happy Paws & all the staff...we love you!! (And so does Bruin) We first came to Camp Happy Paws 20 something years ago with our lab, Maggie. Becky and Scott the owners were amazing to deal with and were incredible to us and our pup. She day cared and boarded with them and the experience was 5* Fast forward 20 years and years after after our girl passed we now take our young Chocolate lab, Bruin. Camp Happy Paws has grown but the care, dedication and fun remains through and through. From the owners to every employee. They are all wonderful, down to earth, kind and dog centric. It's all about the dogs ...and they have made an incredible space where dogs can be dogs and be part of a special pack. Our Bruin lovvves to go to camp and she knows where we are going as soon as I say "school" (its more like heaven) and she cant get to the car fast enough. She has blossomed in their care and is happy and tired at the end of the day. I cannot say enough good things about the people, the grounds (are beautiful, clean and tranquil) and the energy is amazing. I highly recommend Camp Happy Paws for "playcare" or boarding.
We absolutely love Camp Happy Paws! Becky and her team have always treated our mini dachshund, Seager, like the princess she is. I never have to worry if she’s getting enough attention, and she is so lucky they are patient with her when she decides she’s going to be a picky eater! I also love that they provide a safe environment for her without kennels/crates. The camp has always been so accommodating, flexible, and reliable. I honestly can’t say enough about how wonderful Camp Happy Paws is!
A neighbor referred us to Camp Happy Paws and we’re so happy she did! The property is large and beautiful with plenty of room for the pups to run around. Becky and her crew are very attentive with all the dogs so we can rest easy knowing our boy is in the best hands — they’re true dog-lovers. Also, as an added bonus they are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which really helps with our unpredictable work schedules. Our sweet boy always comes home happy and exhausted.
