Cat Sitters in Chenoweth, OR

We live in Hood River and when a family member had to unexpectedly enter the hospital, we had to find boarding for her dog right away. A nearby kennel agreed on the phone to take her, but when we brought the dog in, they declined to accept her, requiring a fecal test which no other kennel we have patronized have required. No effort was made to determine whether they could make an exception due to the circumstances. We scrambled and found Eagle Caves. They were very understanding of the urgent nature of our need, and took the dog right in. They took great care of her, and gave us regular updates. They were understanding when we had to extend the boarding. The true nature of a provider is made evident when you have an emergency. We are very happy with Eagle Caves. Fees were very reasonable as well.

Great place in The Dalles to drop off Max. I like it because you can take your dog on a long ride from pdx and then leave him in The Dalles. Both times max was well cared for. The second time we came to get him he didn’t want to leave.

Upcharges after you've already paid. Doesn't put them in the area you pay for. Trimmed my dogs nails without asking and charging me for it. And the icing on top was a shock collar being on my dog without my permission which I would never permit, he said "She barked to much"..... will never go here again!

We had a wonderful experience with Eagle Caves Pet Resort. We had a situation come up and had to leave town for a week and Greg and Annie took in our dog Ripken not only on very short notice but with patience knowing this was his first time being boarded and away from us for so long. They offer a great experience for both pet parents and fur kids and are very affordable. when we picked up our fur kid he was happy, healthy and in great spirits! We will be using them for all our future boarding needs. Highly recommend

Good place for a short stay. Had to find a kennel near my lodging and this fit the bill. Real decent boarding prices but beware of any extras 'cuz it'll cost. The dogs seemed content when I picked them up but were glad to get outta there. Who's dog isn't though, no matter how classy the digs!?

Our two big canine boys seemed to have a great time here. Greg was very responsive, empathetic, and knowledgeable. He even let us know of a great place to go play after we all left the resort. It was great the dogs were able to get a large room together and some time to play. I’m sure it made them feel more at home. Our boys were well cared-for, and I would use Eagle Caves again.

Eagle caves was able to accommodate our 2 big doggos very last minute and they were very well taken care of! Our younger dog has never been without our older boy and they were able to put them in the same kennel (it's larger I believe) so they could be together. They played with the other dogs every day and even got groomed while they were there! I've never seen my shepherd mix fluffier!! If I need a boarding facility again, you'll be the first I call!!

We have been sending our dogs to Eagle Caves for close to 10 years. Greg & Annie love animals and our pups look forward to staying with them. They provide a wonderful home away from home for our fur babies!! Their facility is clean, air conditioned and has a beautiful outdoor play area for the pups to have lots of fun!! It’s nice being able to leave town knowing our pets are being well cared for.

I boarded my pup here for a week and was very pleased. I have never boarded my dog before and the owners were sure to answer all of my questions and show me their facility. They were both very professional and passionate about their business. My dog was well taken care of and came back to me in a happy condition. I wouldn't hesitate coming back.

We have boarded our small dog here a few times and have been very happy with the great customer service, grooming and health of our dog after his stay. We especially love the dog report card, which details the activities of our dog's stay, as well as the friends he has made during his stay. (We also appreciate the updates on how he is doing during extended boarding times.) The kennels are also much roomier than any other place we've used, and the facility has been very clean each time we have been there. We have only good things to say about Eagle Caves Pet Resort. A special thanks to Greg who takes a lot of time to answer questions and alleviate any worries you might have about leaving your pooch!

Lea’s Pawsibilities is wonderful. Lea has been taking care of our dogs for 3 years now at our home for long weekly periods and most recently our elderly little one has been boarding at her place for a month. We couldn’t be happier and more comfortable leaving our pups with her. When we leave them at home, Lea visits them at our house twice and sometimes three times daily to play, walk, feed and just plain get loved. Lea makes sure they are well and that the house is in order too. Boarding with Lea is perfect! Lea manages to have all doggie clients getting along and being well exercised. She sends pictures daily and makes us feel like our dogs are truly a part of her family. I highly recommend Lea’s Pawsibilities for your family. We are at ease traveling when she’s in charge ♥️

If it were possible to give Lea 10 stars, I would. Over the years I have had many house and pet sitters for our dog and three cats - none have come close to comparing with the professionalism and attention to detail that Lea provides. We have a very complex house with many indoor plants, a hot tub requiring routine maintenance, and animals that go in and out a lot without access to pet doors. 2 of the 4 pets require daily medication and all get different food for various reasons. This is not an easy gig! Lea is unflappable and consistently sweet. She communicates regularly and sends lots of pictures of our critters to reassure that they are doing well. I highly recommend Lea for your house and pet-sitting needs!

Lea did a great job with our three dogs during the week while we were at work. She stopped by daily to let our dogs out mid day. She played with them and gave them extra special attention. She is very professional. She always sent a text when she arrived and included cute pictures of her visit. I definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies when you can’t be there.

I am new to town and was needing a dog sitter to watch my dog while I flew across the country for a trip. I am so grateful I found Lea through Google maps because she was a true god send. I appreciated that she wanted to know as many details about my dog as possible so that she knew the best way to care for her while she stayed at Lea's house. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her family. If you need a pet sitter or dog walker in Hood River, I definitely recommend her!

I boarded my dog, Zoey with Lea and her family for the first time and I cannot say more fantastic things about the experience. Lea was excellent with sharing clear instructions and updating me with photos of Zoey and status updates throughout her stay. Zoey loved the care and attention she received, and she was warmly welcomed into Lea’s home. I highly recommend using Lea’s services! She’s very kind and has warm energy. Zoey gives 5 stars too!

Lea went above and beyond for my dogs and us to make sure they were taken care of during our wedding week. Lea sent tons of photos, gave detailed updates, and loved our dogs like our own. She was so accommodating including bringing our dogs to our wedding day of and picking them up so they could be in the ceremony. I wish Lea lived closer so we could use her all the time! 10/10 recommend!

Bizzie, our mini Australian Shepherd, arrived at Lea’s all hyped up and barking over my leaving him. I wasn’t down the road an hour before Lea texted that River, her daschund, and Biz were getting on famously— such a thoughtful thing to do, as I was then able to relax and enjoy the drive. Each day I received pictures of the two of them together, or just Bizzie relaxing. When I picked him up, instead of the barkfest I expected, a very calm Biz met me at the door. The entire time I was there he was so quiet, and his serenity continued through the ride home. Once home he just seemed so relaxed, and this morning I swear he is still behaving like he’s been to the spa, all anxiety washed away!!! Big thanks to Lea and River for taming my tiger— obviously your hospitality is helping him cope with his nervous reaction to change!👍👍👍 in

We had a great experience with Lea who watched our dog a half day. She was very flexible, quick to answer any questions and provided us great updates throughout his stay. She was very sweet and welcoming, the dog loved her immediately, he was happy tail-wagging when we picked him up. We are happy to have found someone reliable and look forward to hiring her services in the future.

Lea was super responsive and professional. She remained flexible over the course of a whole week and helped to make our holiday vacation so much more worry-free. Even with bad weather and last minute changes, Lea kept us up to date. It was so good to know that our pets and our house were in good hands! We will be calling on Lea again.

Lea watched our two cats for the first time during a recent trip out of town. The cats are shy, but she found them in their hiding spot to take photos and send every day (which my wife REALLY appreciated). She is reliable. We will hire her again.

The best experience!! Everything was top notch from drop off, daily updates, pictures, and pick up; Bridge of the Paws will forever be where I bring my fur babies. I drove from Hillsboro and the drive is most definitely worth it all. My girl was returned to me so healthy and happy. Thank you, Bridge of the Paws team for providing a most excellent holiday stay for my girl!!!

The whole experience was wonderful! Lawson was kind and gentle with our dogs. We have an unpredictable dog and Lawson allowed our dog to warm up to him at his own pace. When we picked them up it’s like they had been friends forever! Lawson sent pictures of our dogs throughout their stay. His prices are great and he’s easy to work with. The best dog care experience we have ever had!

We sent our rather rambunctious Young Bernadoodle to Lawson and he did great work for us. He taught her to look at us while going on walks and he helped immensely with her jumping up on people. What we gained was invaluable control of our dog as she is now 65 lbs at 7 months of age and quite strong. I appreciate his professionalism as a trainer and his flexibility with schedules. He is a kind hearted person to deal with. Thanks Lawson, Jeff and Colleen Dahl and Esther our doggie.

We've been with Lawson since the beginning and couldn't be bigger fans. Our dog Max LOVES Lawson and his crew, and Lawson is a complete gem and great to work with.

OMG!! The absolute best dog boarding company ever !!! I found this gem on a Google search and they are awesome! They treated my dog unbelievably! The owner Lawson and Megan treated my dog like he was Royaltyl! I got pictures every day and I felt that he was loved and cared for! If you have to board your fur family definitely take him to Bridge of the Paws!!! Unbelievable experience !!!

We took our little guys to visit Lawson while we spent the weekend at Carson Hot Springs. They got to hang out with other pups, and explore the miles of trails. Great experience! Highly recommend.

Our new favorite boarding facility. Management has an exceptional understanding of canine behavior. The owner is flexible, easy going and dedicated. BOP offers a very natural and tranquil atmosphere, where our dog can still be a dog.

Excellent and friendly services. I highly recommend bridge of the paws. throughout my pups stay I received photos everyday. He was well took in care of. I will be using them again in the future.

Bridge of the Paws was a fantastic experience. Curtis was professional, communicative, and most importantly great with my fur babies. He gave us peace of mind so we could focus on our wedding. The property was great and the pups were exercised. The dogs came back happy and healthy! I will ABSOLUTELY be using Bridge of the Paws again.

Amazing humans run this place. They’ll love your pets as much as you do. Seriously. So much heart and passion in these people. Extremely trustworthy and personable. Highly, highly recommend.

Our dogs were happy and seemed like they had a great time. Dinah and Angela were wonderful. Also appreciate the prices, it makes it affordable to leave your pet and be worry free on your trip! Thank you so much, Dianah Dog House

This place is....is.....AWESOME! I own 8 Yorkie's and I am from out of town....and the staff squeezed my dogs into the schedule TWICE :) I REALLY recommend this place....as far as price goes, for me average.....I was not bothered by the price for the quality of work which was done.

Great services. My doggos love it here.

Dinah has been our family’s pet groomer for years and our dogs always come home looking awesome!

I take my dog here for nail trims because he will not tolerate me doing it. They do a great job! They are very gentle and quick and very reasonable price.

I've done boarding for both my dog and my cats. Friendly people. Since I can't take my dog with me all the time, it's nice to have a reliable place to care for my pets.

I had an amazing first experience here and so did my fur babies! They went out of their way to make sure that my dogs were comfortable, and not scared the first time going there. I will definitely be a returning customer and am so grateful to have found such an amazing place! I highly reccomend Dinah's Dog House.

She saw me as a walk-in, even though she was all booked up when I came in with my 18-year-old dog to get his nails trimmed after they were getting caught. Great prices too.

Great place to take your dog for any grooming needs. She dose a great job on my 3 dog nails. And also grooming my sister 17 year old cocker spaniel dog.

I am giving the the highest praise. But when someone request a certain few things. They get cussed out. Well ok. I only tried to talk to Dena. Either way it's all good. She will NEVER GO BACK. ITS a shame cause y'all in the past have been AWEEOME!! She looked totally butchered. I have been screamed at and cussed. Thas t really professional.

Lana’s is the only place our cats have ever been. She has such a nice setup and fair prices. Our two cats have been there about 6 times now, sometimes for over a week. Well done Lana, we recommend your place to everyone we meet that needs a spot for their kittens! Thank you!!!!!!!!

clean and well managed safe place for my dog

Lana is very good with my dogs, I have fostered dogs and she willing takes my personal dogs as well as my foster dogs! She is professional and always available if I need her. I would recommend her to anyone. Your dogs will be treated well and they will be safe! Thanks!

Lana is down right amazing! My dog is a little older and requires special attention and care which she has been able to give him while he stayed there. Would recommend her to anyone

Small operation but they take great care of the dogs and no random hidden fees.

She lost my friends dog. Didn't even really help look for him. She texted her that he was lost, didn't even call her. DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG HERE, IT MIGHT NOT COME HOME.

It's inexpensive and even the local vet recommends her service because Lana will administer medication.

Great safe place for your kids... Going for years now multiple animals never a problem

The best place you could ask for the service and hospitality were exceptional

Dave loves dogs and is wonderful with Dawkins. Easy to work with and very accommodating even with medication. It’s a great spot to be able to leave our dog and know he’s in good hands.

My dog and I love the personalized care that each dog receives, that my dog gets exercise every day he is there, and that the owner, Dave, knows, cares, and loves each dog that comes to him. My dog isn’t too experienced with other dogs, but his experience at Happy Tails has made him better with other dogs. He is happy when he gets there, and happy when he comes home!

We recently made the switch from a larger boarding facility to Happy Tails up Snowden for our dogs. We are very happy with Dave and his operation. My high energy shepherds were given extra large kennels and a fenced in run to themselves. He gave them plenty of attention and exercised them as we would at home. On top of that all, it was extremely affordable! Will definitely continue going to Happy Tails, thanks Dave!

Dave was great to work with! He put us at ease, showing us where our pup would be staying and talking about all the fun she'd have. The care was great and the rates were reasonable. Highly recommend.

Great stay for our pup! Dave is friendly, responsive, and clearly a dog lover. Our dog is a nervous fellow around others, but Dave made sure he was comfortable and well cared for. So happy to have this facility in our neighborhood.

The groomer did far above and beyond the expectations with my matted puppy. I will be going back again.

They’re so nice, personal & accessories accommodating. I always feel like our dog is well taken care of

Good place for our dog

Great folks, good facilities!

Very nice staff

My wife and I recently had our first child. He arrived later than expected and with some complications. Cascade Pet Camp worked with us to get our high energy German-Wirehaired Pointer boarded when we needed it and extended his stay many times at our request even around busy Thanksgiving. I've been very pleased with their service and my pup seems to enjoy his stays as well. Highly recommend!

We used boarding and daycare services for our dog Fig during our wedding weekend in Hood River. Fig came home tired and happy! His report card indicated that they definitely learned about his temperament and paired him appropriately for play groups despite only knowing him a short time. The photos included with the report card were a happy bonus!!

We love Cascade Pet Camp and can't recommend them enough! Dana and Shannon are amazing as is Rowan. They have been incredible in helping us with our very rambunctious puppy and in training us to deal with him. We have used the training services and the boarding facility along with their doggy day-care. We had to board our puppy for over a week and we knew he was safe and happy with them. They even sent us little reports along with pictures and video so we could see for ourselves during his stay how happy he was. We were unable to do the puppy classes as they were when we were planning on being gone, but we did some individual classes with Dana and Shannon to get us through until we could do the Teen Wolf sessions. Honestly, the owners and their team are incredible. They clearly understand dogs and love them (even the annoying ones) and they are able to impart their knowledge to us through humor and kindness. Our dog would seriously run away with any of them, they are that good.

My two little chihuahuas love visiting Cascade Pet Camp. They get so excited when I pack their camp gear. They stay safe in their patio room and get to play outside in the big yard. They happily greet the staff as friends and seem to adore the new groomer. This year I also invested in training classes. My girls have transformed from reactive yappers to socialized happy campers. Dana and Shannen were instrumental in the transformation. Thank you both for creating a safe, fun place for me to take my little girls.

So glad we have this place in the Gorge! My doggos love going here for both training and boarding. They get super excited driving up!

Cascade Pet Camp is fantastic! They took great care of my foster dog and sent me daily updates while I was away. The staff are caring, communicative, and responsive.

Cascade Pet Camp's puppy kindergarten class exceeded all expectations! As a busy business owner, my time is valuable, and I appreciate the efficiency and professionalism they brought to every class. The trainers demonstrated a deep understanding of canine behavior, and their positive reinforcement techniques truly transformed my behavior oh and my dogs too! Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch dog interactions!

We love Cascade Pet Camp. It makes us so happy that our dog drags us into “camp” and is just as happy when he leaves! Everyone is so sweet with him, which makes it easier to leave our little family member for times when he can’t travel with us!

I have had my puppy stay here multiple times and she absolutely enjoys coming back every single time. She gets so excited to see the staff and looks so clean and smells so fresh every time she has been groomed. Thanks so much for taking care of my love bug! Absolutely love this place.

We were in the area for an event on the columbia river and our day did daycare for two days. He had an absolute blast. Came home tired which means he was extra happy! The staff were kind and friendly.

Love the owners. They always respond to messages. They really do love the dogs as they were their own. Very clean facility. Always look forward to our visits.

I took my 1.5 year old husky/German shepherd here for a overnight . Everything from the meet and great, to the drop off and pickup was extraordinary. My dog was able to run and play with other dogs and not be cooped up in a kennel all day. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands . This is the only place we will board our dog moving forward .

I dropped off my two dogs for a day care trial ( a Rottie and a frenchie) at this place thinking that they would take good care of my dogs and hoping that my dogs would have good experience because the owner convinced us that they would be given the care they needed, i warned the owner that my frenchie is easily overheated. Instead my Frenchie was literally dying when we picked her up. She was over heated so bad that her tongue was turning blue, she was whizzing, she couldn't breathe, she could barely walk to greet us. She puked multiple times as soon as i put her in the car!! I asked the owner what happened to her, he asked me back 'I don't know , you tell me what happened to her?'. What The Hell????!!! She was there all day long with him!!! Any idiot can tell my dog was dying!!! I asked him stuff he kept saying he doesn't know. Turned out i figured out that they just abandoned my dogs out in their field without a place to cool down all they long. No one checked on them. If i came 5-10 minutes late to pick them up my Frenchie would have been dead. I thought i lost my baby that day. It was so terrible. Both of my dogs are traumatized in this place. My Rottie ran up to us and jumped straight in the car. Not even a single looked back at the guy. He was so miserable in this place. I could tell. The whole time i was panicking trying to save my Frenchie there was no single apology from the owner instead he was playing dumb/ underestimated the condition of my Frenchie. It was a very traumatizing experience. So much for a good day care experience. More like pay me for abandoning your dogs in my field. Update to my review. The next day my Rotty is sick he has super messy poop and is lethargic. I can only imagine what my dogs been through in this daycare. This place is a nightmare.

I met with the owner in person for an hour and a 1/2 to 2 hours discussing the boarding of my puppy, which ultimately resulted in a "no-go" for my pup--Waffles, a puppy under a year. The discussion was authentic, professional, insightful, and personal. The time and energy spent was heartfelt and very much appreciated. I will see you in a few years!

I left my 2 dogs here (Ellie and Miss Doggy Parton) while I went away for 8 days and cannot recommend it enough! We looked at places in Portland, but did not feel comfortable leaving them at the boarding places we checked out due to lack of comfort on not only our end but our dogs. Finding Bark Run Play seriously left us feeling so comforted knowing our dogs were in good hands! Kerry & Brian are not only kind, but amazing with dogs. One of our dogs is stand off-ish with people and was living on them when we returned back. They even sent us cute photos with a quick update while we were away. The dogs aren’t locked up in crates or stuck in a building all day - they get to run around outside and have a doggy vacation while you’re on yours. We are super grateful we found this place, can’t stop telling everyone at the dog parks, and will definitely bring our pups back when our future plans require it! Thanks Kerry & Brian! 🌞

Bark Run Play is the best dog care facility that you could ever hope for! If you read any reviews at all please read this one if you are searching for a place to take the best care of your animal while you’re away. They are professional, reliable, trustworthy & they have the cleanest facilities at all times, they always send me pictures and updates throughout my trips to let me know that my dog is loving his home away from home but most importantly they truly love my dog. Look no further, you will not be disappointed & your dog will be forever thankful to you for leaving him or her in their care!

I feel like I won the game for my two dogs. I almost felt like they didn't want to come home. It is so refreshing to know that your dogs are having a blast, well taken care of and under supervision of experts in dog behavior while in Kerry and Brian's care. Scheduling was easy, paperwork was thorough and service beyond any expectation I had. Watching my two keep going over to Brian at pick up for pats and kisses rather then charging to get out the door says it all. Charlie and Banjo can't wait to return.

We left our dogs there for 4 days while we flew out of state, and as far as I can tell our dogs had a good time. Before we boarded them, we had to take our dogs to the meet and greet, where we met one of the owners who was very nice and she kinda told us how they run things and showed us where the dogs will be staying. Then when we dropped the dogs off a week or so later we met the other owner, and he was super nice too. They both know a lot about dogs and know how to handle different kinds of breeds and different dogs needs. They even texted us pictures of our dogs during their stay to let us know how they were. All in all, including the low price, the whole thing was excellent and I will definitely come back if I need to board my dogs again.

Brian and Kerry took excellent care of our 11 month old lab. He got to run and play so much during his weekend stay that he slept all day when he got home! They were really good about keeping us updated with text messages and photos of our boy while we were gone, which helped us relax and enjoy our weekend. We will definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them!

We trusted our dogs to the Happy Pet and we could not be more satisfied. One of our dogs, Maggie, is truly a special-needs dog, being very shy and insecure around strangers. We've tried everything, but she just needs a lot of time to warm up to strangers. One reason we chose this place is because we wanted to shake up Maggie's routine some, and give her exposure to strangers. The owners of the Happy Pet worked with her every day, investing their time and energy to make her feel safe and secure; and in one week had her comfortable and happy. Even visitors to our house take longer for her to get comfortable. The owners checked in several times while we were away to let us know how the dogs were and sent us pictures of them having fun playing in their open fields. The kennel is a bit out of the way, but that's part of the magic. They are out in the country and have large open runs for the dogs. While we expected muddy messes, when we picked up the dogs they were both clean and very happy. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Kelsie (& Kind Animal Services) is incredible. She is as compassionate and caring as she is insightful and educated. After a 4 thumbs down experience with another trainer in Bingen, WA, we engaged Kind Animal Services to help build/rebuild our traumatized & timid rescue puppy's confidence, and teach us how to best blend him into our household and lives. She took time to know Wylie and his unique challenges while slowly gaining his trust, first. During these one-on-one sessions we learned a lot about Wylie and gained tools to support his growth. A month-long board and train at her private facility sealed the deal. Kelsie's business name says it all, but don't mistake "kind" for being a "softie". She has been thoughtful & savvy at every step. We highly recommend Kelsie and Kind Animal Services! - Heidi, Tim, Foster and Wylie 🐾

Kelsey is an amazing dog trainer, and was a god~send for us! We were looking for a trainer to help with very specific issues for our 2 farm dogs and feel so fortunate to have found Kelsey. Not only do we really resonate with her approach (really tuning in to the animals, and not using shock collars, etc), but in 1 session she made a ton of progress with us and our dogs on issues we have not been able to figure out for years! She was extremely generous with her time, essentially staying for "as long as it takes," and gave us wonderful follow-up instructions and reminders. And maybe the most important thing is the feeling I had after the session (and that's remained with me) is one of feeling hopeful and encouraged, that we're going to be able to do this with our dogs. We feel so very grateful to have found Kelsey and will continue training with her as needed.

Kelsie has been amazing for our dog and family! She listened to our concerns, came to our house and modeled ways to help our dog who has anxiety. She is very knowledgeable and in all things canine and shared tons of information and tips. She had us practice ways to help our dog that had our dog thinking she was playing games. We have faithfully played our games and incorporated the strategies and ways of doing things that Kelsie taught us and have seen vast improvement in our dog's behaviors. We would recommend anyone with questions or concerns about dogs to contact Kelsie. She truly cares about your dog and family.

I just started working with Kelsie for my Goldendoodle puppy and she’s been a great resource so far. She has given me confidence as a first time puppy owner. She is very responsive and provides me with clear and effective tips to get my puppy on the right track to being a well behaved dog.

Kelsey is fantastic to work with. She came to our house to help us with our reactive, anxious and very sensitive dog. Our dog immediately responded to her. Her presence is calm, confident and clear which is exactly what our dog needed. Most importantly, she shared her knowledge and insight(which was spot on) with us. We were able to see her model interactions with our dog but more importantly, she gave us tips and things to think about that would help all of us change our relationship with him. Since her visit, we have been working on the things she talked about. Our dog has learned SO much, is less reactive and much happier. Kelsey loves her work and it's evident that she is authentic and genuinely cares about her clients. She teaches you how to train your dog. I would highly recommend her services.

Leaving my dog Sadie in Kelsey and Ty's care was felt like a warm blanket around my shoulders. Sadie is extremely reactive, and despite medications and seeing another trainer, nothing seemed to be working with her reactivity. Kelsey was able to see Sadie's behavior at every angle and truly assess possible origins of Sadie's behavior and why things I have been trying weren't working. Before leaving Sadie in her care, I felt like I wasn't good dog mom. Kelsey helped me realize the mental state Sadie was in was the reason she wasn't receptive to training. The medications weren't doing anything because they were the wrong medications for Sadie. I learned that most vets prescribe Prozac for every dog with anxiety, depsite every dog having different needs. Kelsey just seemed to "get it" at a level that spoke to me and Sadie that no one had been able to do before. I've been in endless loops of failed attempts of training for the six months since bringing her home from the shelter. It was incredibly valuable that Sadie was able to stay in Kelsey's care in order to determine why these attempts were failing. I was given a list of protocols after picking Sadie up targeting Sadie's individual needs, and for the first time in six months I know without a doubt that this personalized approach is exactly what Sadie needs in order to heal from her past traumas and live a more happy, relaxed, and fulfilling life. I feel confident in a future where Sadie comes with me on backpacking trips or backcountry skiing without getting triggered, among a multitude of other activites I really want to experience with her where I didn't have confidence before. Not to mention, there were multiple boarding places I called to try to have Sadie cared for while I was on a 10 day vacation, but all of them rejected Sadie due to her reactivity. I was in a panic until the day I needed to leave, and Kelsey graciously offered her services just hours before I was set to leave town. Not only that, she also knew exactly what to do in order to care for Sadie as soon as she met her. I was so worried it was going to be another rejection of care, but instead I got more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you so much, Kelsey. You have a forever client for sure. 🙏🙏

K.A.S.- Kind animal services Rocks! Kelsie is an outstanding trainer! The time Anubis (6month old King Shepherd Puppy) and I spent at the school house was great. Kelsie spared no time educating me and Anubis about confidence building and positive reinforcement training. If I could have stayed the entire day to learn more from Kelsie I don’t think I’d be enough time to soak up how knowledgeable she is in her career. You can definitely tell she’s experienced and most of all passionate about her work with dogs or any animal for that matter. I would recommend K.A.S. Time and time again! I look forward to our next session at the school house!

Kelsie was so generous with her time and knowledge. I wrote to her in anticipation of getting my new rescue dog and she offered up so many helpful tips and resources! When I ran into her at our local dog store she took the time to meet my new pup, advise on, and fit him into, a harness for leash training. Again, she offered many tips and tricks - that are working! I highly recommend Kelsie - I know I will be reaching out to her for formal training.

Kelsie is a very animal trainer. She has a true gift for reading and understanding animal behavior (and their humans!) Kelsie formed a great relationship with our pack: a puppy a millennial and a senior!

I have taken my labs to train several times to Kind Animal Service. From basics to more advanced training, Kelsie brings a positive, informative, light hearted style. My dog learns, I learn, it's a win win.

Morgan is professional, reliable, communicative, and actually a Godsend! She has cared for my Shepherd, Daisy, when I have needed extended time away from home attending to getting my kids set in their college dorms, as well as traveling to visit my ill mother out of state. Her level of professionalism and excellent care for my dog has allowed me to truly focus on my family needs, during critical life transitions that do not allow Daisy to travel along with me. I highly recommend Morgan 100%, and I intend to continue calling on her services in the future! -Esther

Morgan provided the perfect place for my Pumpkin. She has a super pet-friendly home with 1 cute welcoming dog of her own. I loved getting the photo updates & hearing about the great walks & meeting Bowie the beagle for a play date! Pumpkin will definitely back soon!

Morgan has been walking our dogs while we are at work. She does a great job communicating with me about when she is arriving and sends me updates and adorable pictures of their outings. She is extremely professional and comes prepared. She is very conscientious of the weather and how it may affect the dogs. Safety of our dogs is in the forefront of her approach. She also keeps me posted of any concerns or unusual behavior. I am so glad I found her. She takes all the stress out of leaving the dogs at home during long workdays. The pups love her too. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.

I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone needing a pet sitter! She came by our house a couple times a day to feed and walk our dog. I appreciated the daily updates and pics.

Tom and Elyse have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They're down to earth and treat all dogs with lots of love and compassion. My significant other and I have been taking Pepper, our German Shepherd mix, to their day care for several months now. They have been very accommodating when it comes to schedule changes and when we have last minute trips out of town. They are also very attentive to many medical and dietary restrictions. They take many precautions to ensure new dogs are integrated properly and safely. I was wildly impressed at their ability to manage several dogs (all with different play styles and tempers) at one time in one area. Pepper has loved every minute when she's at daycare and has made several new dog friends. I would highly recommend Elyse's Doggy Daycare & Boarding to anyone looking for a trustworthy place to take their fur babies.

Bear, our Pyrenees-Lab mix, loves Elyse's Doggy Daycare up much that when he hears their notification sounds on my phone, he breaks into a smile and runs for the window, wagging his tail, and looking for the Doggy Bus! Tom & Elyse treat all of the dogs in their care with love and respect, while guiding them all in socializing with every breed. They are a trustworthy business, and my dog can't wait to see them-which gives me confidence that he's treated very well. Definitely recommend!!

Our dog is really happy to go to the Doggie Daycare. Elyse and Tom genuinely care about the dogs. They even will do baths, grooming, and some training. We feel they understand dog behaviour very well. Our dog seems to feel like part of the pack!

I was worried about one of my 2 dogs as she was starting to show social aggression. Elyse made me feel comfortable and she was able to help my dog socialize better. When ever we board, my pups get in the car and fall asleep for like 2 days!!!! They ❤️ visiting & we are so thankful for them in our community!

This is the absolute best boarding facility I have ever taken a pet to! My partner and I have a 11 month old puppy that we needed to board for the first time ever while we went out of town. We were both skeptical and nervous about how our little guy would handle it. Upon arriving all of our worries and fears were instantly calmed. Both Elyse and her partner were so good with Rocky! He immediately clicked with both of them and settled into their home instantly. They took the best care of him and treated him like family. They always kept us updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of pics. 10 out of 10 stars. ⭐️ We will definitely be bringing our boy here again and will be singing their praises until the end of time 😄.

We had such an amazing time at this doggy day care. Tom and Elyse are amazing owners, they care so much about every dog and treat them so well. The facilities are new and well designed so that each dog has enough space. The dogs are so well taken care of and well behaved. We came to visit with small children and all the dogs were very respectful!

I can’t speak highly enough of Elyse and Tom…I was a bit apprehensive the first time I left Rosie but Elyse kept me posted throughout the day on her and even sent me pictures to reassure me she was doing just fine. I wish I could take her more often because she really enjoys the playtime. I recommend their services very much😊

We started taking our four dogs to this wonderful place when we first located to Goldendale . Elyse always sends photos and keeps in touch about how the dogs are doing. Our dogs always feel right at home and have a wonderful time. I am so thankful to have found this wonderful place.

I had a great experience with Elyse's Doggy Daycare! I was in the area and needed somewhere for my dog to hang out during the day. Luckily, Elyse's was conveniently located nearby, and it turned out to be a fantastic spot for my dog to have a blast and burn off some energy. By the end of the day, he was completely worn out from all the fun he had. Elyse even sent me some photos of him during playtime, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in a secure and fun environment. I highly recommend Elyse's for anyone looking for place for their pup for the day!

Far and beyond the best boarding and daycare facility I have ever seen. The owners have such a gentle loving care for all the dogs, and it shows. Can't recommend this place enough - I know your pup will love it too!
