Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $19/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We were so very pleased to find Jere who took great care of our two fur-boys while we went out of state for a family wedding. The boys were well taken care of as we had her come in 3x a day. She spends quality time with them, feeds and potties them, and even kept our potted plants alive. Highly recommend Jere as she's very detailed, and professional in her care.
great place to bring your pets and great prices
I wish I could leave 11 stars. Paradise Pet is one of the best things we ever did for our pup. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about your dog. We started taking Benji to daycare around 5 months old and it quickly became his favorite place ever. We also boarded him here multiple times. He always came home tired and happy. Staff informed us on any positive or negative behaviors that day. The facility is clean, spacious, with enrichment classes available. Grooming is well done and affordable as well. The frequent photos to Facebook make us so happy, especially when we’re out of town. Our dog is 100+ lbs and has high excitability. I felt extremely confident leaving him with the staff, they have clearly worked with many types of dogs and know what each breed, age, temperament needs. In contrast, we recently moved to a new city and tried a couple doggie daycares here and can’t stop thinking about how lucky we were to have Paradise Pet. We genuinely didn’t know how bad some places out there can be (dog comes home smelling like urine, dehydrated, hadn’t gone potty recently - to name a few) and now that we’ve seen both sides, I can confidently say Paradise Pet is the best of the best. We miss you all!
We love Paradise Pet Resort! When we first were looking for a place to board our dogs, we were able to do a trial run and also take a tour of the facility. It’s very clean, well maintained, and the staff makes sure to have a safe environment. Our dogs have been boarded here countless times and we have always been more than satisfied with the care our dogs receive while we are away. We especially love the almost daily photo updates! Thank you PPR for giving us peace of mind!
Our dog, Marius, has been coming here since he was a puppy and they’ve always been phenomenal with him! When we added our second dog, Bennett, to the family, we knew we could trust Paradise Pet Resort to love and care for him too. Whenever we go out of town, our dogs stay here and they always have a blast! I also love that we get to see pictures of the doggos each day, they always look so happy during their stay. We can’t imagine leaving our boys anywhere else but here when we travel.
Cassie always comes back happy and tired after staying at Paradise Pet Resort. She loves going and getting the opportunity to play and socialize with other dogs. They always seem to recognize her when she arrives and we’ve never had any problems with her care I’m very particular about who I leave Cassie with and Paradise Pet Resort came highly recommended from many friends.
My dogs absolutely loved there first board last night. It makes me so happy that I found a place I can my dogs when we go on long day trips and on vacations. My dogs had so much fun that when I got them home they just slept for hours.
Everyone is so kind. My dog is 10 years old and never really socialized. The staff has worked with him and have been tremendous!
I love this place! Every staff I’ve interacted has been pleasant, they’re organized, understanding, but most of all, I thought my dog won’t play with other dogs when I take him to dog parks, but here, he loves playing here. I love that they post (almost) daily pictures of the dogs and when I see my dog playing and having the time of his life, I know I picked a good place to take care of him. Thank you guys!
We needed a place to board our dog while out of town and came across Paradise Pet Resort through a general Google search. After doing some pretty extensive research (we have never used a boarding facility or doggy daycare before), I gave them a call to set up a trial session. After 4 days of daycare, 9 nights of boarding and a few enrichment classes - I can truly say that Paradise Pet Resort is incredible. The staff is so friendly and they love your fur baby like it’s their own. Plus they post pictures all the time on Facebook so it’s fun to see!!! Our dog ended up needing to go to the vet while we were out of town, but they were so thoughtful, communicative, and organized that it made what should have been a stressful situation a breeze. Our dog, Ahsoka, already can’t wait to go back for more fun!
Today was Nala Rose’s trial for full time day-care. I was very nervous at the beginning but was reassured by the amazing front desk crew. Upon picking her up, (with a pass!), I got to see the phenomenal layout they have the dogs in. Well cleaned and maintained, and most of all, great strategies to avoid issues I’ve seen at many other daycares! Nala Rose cant wait to come back tomorrow to see her new friends! So happy to join the pack. Here’s a TIRED AND HAPPY Nala Rose!
First time leaving our dogs with Paradise Pet Resort for a long weekend. They were recommended to me and everything went great. The dogs were happy and tired when they got home. We will definitely be back!
Lovely folks there that will love and care for your 4legged family as if it were there own. 2st time we've ever kenneled a dog and we had a wonderful time at Silverwood theme Park and had no worries about our Sir Ollie BEAR. He was very happy to be released upon our arrival that evening even tho we were a touch late the staff were very understanding. Thank you Kootenai kennels for making this the 1st many instead of the 1st and last.
They were really nice people and we felt our pup was in good hands. They're also affordable.
Just picked up a happy senior last night, after 16 days. She has never been sooo calm after staying at a kennel and here she looked great! Usually she will lose about 5 pounds, my husband and I were thrilled to see she looked healthy and was happy. Steven said that he took her on walks many times throughout the day and I could tell she was well taken care of, I am truly grateful!!! Thank you again, you were a God send in my hour of need!!! This place doesn’t look like a typical in town kennel, but they treated my dog better!!!
They watched our Olliebear for the day while we went to Silverwood. It is a pretty standard kennel set-up. I was able to bring our baby to his spot with a pillow and dad's jacket. This was h but we
They took good care of our dog. It is nothing fancy but they did what they were paid to do. We have a high maintenance dog and they managed to take care of her well. Very fair price. Would recommend them for anyone looking to board their dog and is not looking for the "spa" treatment.
We came from out of state to play at Silverwood and looked for a place to board our dog, just for the day. We've never boarded our dog and expected a place that was clean, free and safe. This establishment is completely run down. My heart sank as we pulled up and a feeling of uneasiness settled in my heart. I could never leave my beloved pet here. There is no fenced yard or area, just a bunch of abandoned looking outdoor kennels and a run down warehouse that looks like it once could of been something decent. I opened the door to the dark warehouse and heard a lot of dogs barking. The warehouse seemed unsupervised, dark and leery. We drove away and found another kennel 20 mins farther away, where we could leave our pup with a good conscience. There is a good reason why this kennel has no photos up of their facility.
Great place for when I can't bring my dogs with us and need to leave them in a kennel for a few days. We like the owners and so do the dogs.
We never actually got to leave our dogs with them. But they were so nice, helpful, knowledgeable and understanding.
this is the best place I have ever been, for dog lovers. they walked my dog on mowed paths through the woods and also have a large play area for him to run free. the inside runs are heated in winter and very large. good place
Paid attention to my dog’s needs
It is always difficult to leave my little guy when we leave on trips. But knowing that I have left him in good hands makes it less stressful. Molly and John, and all the people at Legacy Canine are very caring. I wouldn't trust him anywhere else.
Legacy always takes excellent care of our pups! They were there for 12 days and didn't skip a beat. They have an air conditioned room where they stay so the heat was not an issue. While they are always ready to come home, they are treated like family while they are there.
Would not take my boys anywhere else!!! They start whining when we get close to Legacy. Molly, John and the entire staff are so wonderful!! I never worry on vacation because I know the Pups are at doggy Disneyland!! Thank you!!
My dog Sophie has been visiting Legacy Canine since Molly and John took ownership of facility. They have enlarged the whole operation, from "boarding rooms", to large unit for training. What hasn't changed is the top care received and smoothly run facility, with little to no congestion for dropping off and pickup. Note: If there is any congestion it is not their fault and poor planning, but where clients are late or too early in drop off and pick up times. Guilty!! I never worry about my Sophie when I drop off and know that she is cared for only in the best way. Make plans ahead, as they are that good and they may not have a room available for your loved pet. That I appreciate too, as they do not overbook and only take what the facility and workers can safely handle..
As always, we are so happy and grateful for the attentive care given to our pups when they board with Legacy. Molly and the staff keep a watchful eye and give them daily interactive play time. It's so hard to leave our dogs when we go away, but knowing that Molly, John, and the staff are there makes it doable. A big thanks for all you do!🥰
We call Legacy Boarding, Camp Legacy and our babies love it there. When we make the turn onto Signal Point road they start whining and carrying on in excitement to get there. Bodhi and Beckett went through their training program and have done so well, I can say they are great dogs! They also have been regular guests while we have been out of town. Legacy Boarding and Canine is the best! Always warm and welcoming and the facility is very clean. It’s the only facility we will use for boarding, top notch!!! I also recommend their training program!
Molly and John take good care of our dog Cisco. Their kennel is impeccable and their knowledge of dog behavior is vast.. We have looked far and wide for a kennel that is clean, safe and comfortable and we finally found that with Legacy Canine. We highly recommend them.
We have used Legacy for boarding but we recently acquired a one year old working German Shepherd that had limited training and follow through. Although we have raised several German Shepherds over the years, we needed help in getting this girl on the right track. John has been working with us and the results we have seen in a matter of weeks has been amazing. Her progress has been significant and she has earned a great deal of trust in our house (with two other adult Shepherds). Our girl has progressed and we as handlers have also learned new techniques. Very happy all the way around.
Unbelievably phenomenal experience at Legacy Canine with John & Molly. They are Top Notch Professionals. Truly an investment in the pups and our futures. The outcome has been life changing. Their training grounds and facility are immaculate. The pups are happier. We are happier. Please check them out!
We our so happy with the care our dog has received at Legacy Canine over the years! It’s been a great experience boarding our dog with them! We never have to worry about him and he loves going there! John and Molly are the best! And I love that it’s located in the country! Just a perfect place to board your dog and they also did a great job training him the lessons were well worth the cost!
Our dogs love Tails Inn! Our girl doesn't do well with other dogs, so we love that the dogs play only with their family dogs and with the staff, instead of lots of stranger dogs playing together. Ours just can't handle that and I'm so glad Tails Inn exists! The owner is so kind and happily will administer meds and special treats and meet all of our dogs' needs. I couldn't recommend Tails Inn enough!
Lucy spent the weekend with Andee . She wears a Fi collar so it tracks her activity. She was a busy girl running and being active, which is important being a Shepherd/ catahoula mix. Thank you Andee for taking good care of Lucy. We appreciate it. I would recommend Tails Inn for your boarding needs.
Took care of my pup very well. Always were happy to update me on how he was doing. Definitely would recommend!
We love Andee at the Tails Inn! Not only has she taken good care of our dog Rip but she has given us priceless puppy advice.
Always a great place to take our dog max he has been going here since he was a puppy 🐶 super nice staff and accommodating. Max might like being there more than at home he is always excited to go. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
I highly recommend boarding your pet here! We have a rescue dog who has some ~social challenges~. We made sure they were fully aware of his issues before our trip and they were entirely comfortable with handling it. He did great there! Absolutely no issues. Thankfully, they have genuine animal experience so truly know how to handle the animals properly. It is nice to have a boarding facility where I know my pet is happy and safe!
We have had issues with boarding our anxious dogs in the past that led to emergency surgery and they no longer do well with other dogs. Finding a boarding facility that can facilitate our needs with anxious dogs that can’t intermingle has been hard to find, but Tails Inn has always done a great job with our dogs and accommodating us! I highly recommend them!
Would board my dogs there again. Very accommodating, took both dogs on short notice. Only surprise for us was cash or check only.
We took our dogs here when my wife and I went on vacation. The owner is very friendly and transparent about the prices. She wrote down all necessary information about our dogs and there needs. Thank you for the great service you provided to our hairy friends and I would highly recommend this business to anyone.
My name is Biscuit and I am a very handsome Westie. My family keeps calling me cute, but please remember that I am HANDSOME! So my family and I all went down to Idaho for several days. Because they were going to Silverwood Theme Park one day and shopping another, they needed to find Doggie Daycare for me for those days. My Mom found Tails Inn in Rathdrum. I really loved AnnDee and Diana. They played with me LOTS and I had a yard to run around in. And when I got tired, I had my own place to chill out! I liked it so much that on the second day I was so excited that I forgot to say goodbye to my family when the dropped me off! I don’t remember much after they picked me up both days cause I really needed a good long nap! For all you other doggie boys and girls out there, tell your families about Tails Inn. It was the best and I can’t wait to go back next year!
I highly recommend Auntie Linda's to care for your sweet fur baby when you are away. She provides a home setting which makes Pugsley very happy. We would never want him to feel like he was going back to the kennel that he was rescued from. She has an amazing pet friendly and fun backyard for her visitors. Pugsley gets lots of love and even some lap time. He has so much fun playing with his friends and she is great about texting pictures and messages while we are away. Great communication and great rates make Auntie Linda's our first choice for our Pugsley. We have taken Pugsley to Auntie Linda's for over four years and we will never go anywhere else. You can see by the expression on his face that Pugsley also loves Auntie Linda's.
I have used Auntie Linda’s pet sitting for three years for our cat Rogue. She has baby sat Rogue for a few days to two weeks. Rogue has always been taken care of and dotted over. It has been a great experience and I have never worried. Recently, we had a family emergency and needed to leave town for a few days. I was desperate and reached out to her. She was still able to make accommodations and get Rogue a place to stay on short notice. She is amazing! I will continue using her in the future for our 14 year old cat Rogue when we take vacations
Linda is great and she will take care of your pet like her family. Our dogs had a great experience at her pet resort.
Auntie Linda took great care of our 3 cats for over a week. She was very accommodating and reasonably priced. She also sent us texts with photos and updates on how they were doing. Our cats looked happy and well taken care of when we went to pick them up and it was clear they had a great week! I highly recommend Auntie Linda's boarding service.
We have been with Linda for years, and trust our priceless animals with her. She deeply cares about everyone's well being. That being said, she is a pet sitter, and not a kennel. If your pet requires extra care, call her she'll gladly discuss what she is and isn't capable of.
This week will be the 3rd time I have entrusted Auntie Linda with caring for my fragile 18 yr old kitty girl. Frieda has a neurological conditionn and is losing muscle strength in her back legs, so can jump maybe 6 inches, and often loses her balance. Instead of the typical tall cat condo with many shelves, Linda came up with using a wide/long bunny cage, which fit her bed, litterbox and food just right. She always sends pictures and text updates on how she was doing; extremely soothing to a far-away purr parent. Her ability to be flexible to owners & pets is amazing! This week I'll be going for surgery, and I don't know if I'll need to leave her there for 2 days or a week depending on the outcome. Linda didn't bat an eye and said let me know when you know Frieda is always welcome here. Although she often has a mix of pets there at one time, her home is clean, friendly, inviting and happy. I told her last time I was there I thought she was undercharging, but she said I want it this way for folks who just aren't able to afford the pricier places. THAT is the kind of woman and caregiver Linda is. Absolutely could not ask for better!
Linda took good care of my rabbit while I was away for a month. She kept sending pictures of the rabbit regularly. She took great care of my Oreo (rabbit) and now he is back home. Definitely recommend her.
Linda is awesome! She took great care of our cat, and gave him a lot of attention!! She would send us a pic of him almost every day, and give us an update. Her rates are frickin unbelievable as well!!!
Absolutely not! If I can rate this no stars I would! Took my dog here she’s a girl. And this lady had already dogs there and released them to meet my dog and the male German shepherd attacked my dog! Absolutely not ok! Maybe next time you let your dogs meet a strangers pet put them on a leash. We tried to pull my girl away and her dog kept coming and with another right behind my baby, myself and my boyfriends mother were holding our dog and she was terrified! She’s terrified to even go in the car now because she thinks she has to come back to this awful place. I would like to mention Linda did mention she would pay for the vet bill but this not just about money my dog is terrified.
So glad I found Auntie Linda’s! I left my two cats under her care to go on a trip for three weeks. I felt no worries leaving them with her, and she frequently sent pictures of them. I recommend her and I will continue using her services! She is also very sweet. :)
Free Range Boarding is absolutely the best you can do for your dogs! This time my Bull Terrier was literally climbing over my head to get out! The staff is awesome they are always so excited to see the dogs and very thorough with the feeding and medication instructions. They make going on vacation stress free. Pick up is equally emotional as the staff are sad to see them leave! And the dogs are exhausted! They are a gem in Spokane!
I really appreciate the care they provided in getting Murphy settled into their facility. It’s interesting because through this process, I discovered that Murphy has separation anxiety and they took so much care of that. While he didn’t pass the evaluation, I’m grateful that they took time to attempt to make him comfortable, and when he wasn't, called me. Once we work through the triggers for him through training, we’ll try again. Thank you Amy and team!
I have an active ten month old German Shepherd. They worked with him so he could play with the rest of the dogs. I also have a 10 year old shepherd who has had health issues and they have taken good care of him.
From the moment we stepped into Free Range Boarding, it was clear that this wasn't just any pet boarding facility—it was a paradise for pets. The staff welcomed us with open arms and bright smiles, immediately putting us at ease about leaving our furry family member in their care. What sets this center apart is its exceptional communication. They are proactive in reaching out, sending daily updates via text and email, complete with photos and detailed reports on how our dog was doing, and even what their mood was like throughout the day. This level of detail was not only comforting but also built a deep trust in their services. The care they provide is top-notch. The center is clean, well-maintained, and designed with the comfort and safety of the animals in mind. Each staff member is knowledgeable, passionate about pets, and incredibly gentle and patient. It's evident that they don’t just look after the animals; they care for them as if they were their own. Moreover, the range of activities they offer is impressive. Our dog enjoyed supervised play sessions, cozy nap times, and even had a chance to partake in some basic obedience training. It’s clear that Free Range Boarding goes above and beyond to ensure that every pet is not only cared for but also enriched and happy. I cannot recommend Free Range Boarding highly enough. If you are seeking a boarding facility where your pet will be loved, looked after, and returned to you just as happy—if not happier—then this is the place. Their unmatched service and dedication truly make them the best dog boarding center!
We had used Free Range Boarding with our previous pup and they were amazing. Dahlia loved going there and always came home happy. She has since passed and we have adopted an 11 year old rescue with an abusive past. We were worried about leaving Wally since he has such a traumatic past. But wow, the staff was kind, very competent and Wally likes them too. I would highly recommend Free Range Boarding to anyone who wants to feel secure in leaving their pets when they leave town.
I love Free Range Boarding! It was my dog's first boarding experience and he came home happy and content. They really care about the dogs and I loved the positivity from everyone. The facility is clean and very organized. I also love how it is out in the country and very peaceful🙂. I would definitely recommend this dog paradise to others!
Update: The daycare now open at Free Range is also EXCELLENT! We thought we loved Yuppy Puppy for daycare but Free Range is even better. Our dog gets much more individual attention and care which is important to us because he's a senior. He's treated like a king with outdoor playtime where he can run, indoor air conditioned time, nap time, and treats. He's so happy here I can feel his groan when we show up to get him! It's more than worth the cost to know he's happy and well cared for. Love the video cams too! Highly recommended. EXCELLENT doggie spa/hotel (boarding facility) in Spokane, and I don’t say that lightly! My husband and I are SO THANKFUL Amy’s Pet Sitting Service opened this facility. We have an only child Golden Retriever, Henry, who’s never been left alone or boarded before. My dad’s 90th birthday meant we had to go out of state together. We weren’t sure what we were going to do. We toured many boarding facilities but didn’t feel comfortable – until we went to Free Range. Amy and Natalie are so professional and so attuned to every detail, we were confident Henry would be in the best possible hands. During the initial evaluation Amy even found a little “pimple” we hadn’t noticed. It turned out to be a mast cell tumor - cancer! So, before we boarded our dog, he had surgery – fortunately successful – but if it hadn’t been for Amy’s intervention, who knows. We’re forever grateful beyond words. This shows how good they are here. Before we left him 4 nights, we did a 1 night trial run. It probably wasn’t necessary but we wanted to try to show him that it was a TEMPORARY stay. He didn’t seem to want to leave the next morning! That was a great sign. We loved having a menu of “extras” we could add. We got a window in his room (he used it), a webcam (we used it), and a nightly tuck in. Being able to watch him in his room or outside playing was so reassuring. We could clearly see he wasn’t anxious - just playing, eating and sleeping as he does at home. We can’t recommend Free Range Boarding enough.
I have been boarding with Free Range for a year now with our older dog. We got a puppy in July and chose to go to another trainer facility, very well known. It was the wrong decision, it wasn’t a good fit, so I reached out to FRB. Natalie has been hands down the best trainer for both myself and our pup. We aren’t done yet, but I will never go to another facility, I will only recommend and take my pets to FRB ever again. They saved our relationship with our puppy. Plus, I never worry when my fur babies are staying there. They always go above and beyond. Thank you for loving all our pups so much!
We had three dogs stay for 10 days. The facility and staff was amazing. It was exceptionally clean, well organized, they allowed lots of play time and let us bring their own beds and toys. The staff was kind, attentive and welcoming. They were also accountable, meaning they stuck to allotted times for checking in and dropping off, so that it didn’t detract from the care of their already boarded pets. Our dogs came home excited to see us, and were not anxious or traumatized from their experience in any way!!! My husband and I would highly recommend FREE RANGE BOARDING facility.
Free Range is really the only place we feel comfortable leaving our dog Luna. She spends full days there and is happy to get there and happy to come home. She always sleeps extra well after a day with her friends. We couldn't be happier. Thanks guys! Roger and Cara
The only reason I am giving a one star review is to you Madison who is one hundred percent right in how hardy was handled. I no longer work for them as I can't any longer. You are right though hardy was so bad it should have never happened. I am giving a one star review. Not to the groomers but to the people who work the back. I left there and I will never bring my dog there again. My standards are much higher and my husband said once I left my dog will never go back there. I appreciate his decision as it's best. It's way too hot in the summer and she always came home with almost all her food and all her treats which shows she wasn't given what I sent with her. Very disappointed in the service and that is why I had to leave. Sorry to my clients who want me and sorry to the front staff who were told they can't talk about me or tell them where I went as I was personally told this not to mention whenever it us over 85 I would never bring my dog as it is far too hot in back. No ac just swamp coolers from what I wad told by back staff. Still with covers it's way too hot when it's above 90
This place groomed my dog so good and I'm so impressed. There were a couple of glitches getting my Fanny in for grooming but the owner made me a solid, kept her word and the groomer topped it off with I think, Fanny's best groom EVER! Thanks NW Pet Resort! You guys proved to be top notch!
Best place for all your fur buddies needs and a great place to drop them off if you need to go anywhere but can't bring them with. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. There groomers are the best for a fur buddy spa day freshen up.
We started bringing our dog Yukon after his companion passed away. Yukon became sad and not himself for weeks. A coworker referred us to Northwest Pet Redort and oh my gosh it is the best thing we have ever done for our dog. Yukon is a completely different dog and gets so excited when he knows he's going. All we have to do is ask him if he wants to go to school. Thank you, Scott and Ashley for creating such an amazing place for doggies to go play. We truly appreciate you and thank you for your support and donation towards Safe Harbors Human Trafficking here in North Idaho!!
Unfortunately I can not recommend Northwest Pet Resort and don't plan on using them in the future. I was visiting my dad in CDA and needed a place to board my 1 yr old corgi and chose here based on the reviews. The drop off was very smooth and the facilities did smell a bit like dog urine but that's to be expected. The staff were friendly and kind. The day before I came to pick her up I got a call that my pup had some runny stools and and upset stomach. They asked if I wanted to add some kind of gut soothing product to her food I said yes and they obliged. I appreciated the call but the problem came when I arrive to pick her up. It took a while for them to bring her out and when they did she was wet. The handler told me she had some stool on her back fur and he cleaned her up. She has long fur so I wasn't that shocked or anything. Then in the car I noticed she still had stool all over her backside AND several pieces of dried stool in her back fur. I was on my way to Portland but had to stop at a gas station to pick up some baby wipes to try and clean her off the best I could. I had to cut one of the matted pieces of feces off of her. I know things happen and happen last minute as someone is coming to pick up their dog, that I can forgive. What really bothered me was the dried poop all over her backside. We won't be returning. Two stars because the staff were friendly and I appreciated their update when they called me. However I just can't overlook the dried poop allover my baby girl.
I was hesitant to take my 6 month old puppy to doggie daycare because, she is my little baby. With a long work day, I had too. I filled the vaccinations paperwork at 9:00pm thinking I would have to wait 2-3 days to get approved. But no! The next morning I was confirmed I could drop her off! It was relief how fast they got her in. During the day I was worrying about her, so I text via Facebook how she was doing, within ten minutes someone gave me a long detailed message explaining how much fun she is having and who she is playing with. It was very appreciated knowing my dog was having fun. When I picked her up she seemed happy and didn't want to leave. My only complaint is I wish I could get pictures or videos of my dog playing lol. Otherwise, great place and affordable.
We bring my family’s two dogs to both daycare and boarding; they absolutely love it here! My family and I appreciates NWPR for always taking care of our dogs and being flexible with us! I highly recommend this place.
I can't say enough good things about the grooming experience for my Mister Winston! We had been taking him to Petco since he joined our family 4 years ago. He had been seeing the same groomer up until a year ago. Petco couldn't keep a groomer for more than a few weeks to keep up with his grooming schedule. I've taken him to a couple other places and they just didn't get him cleaned up enough. The gentleman that groomed him at Northwest Pet Resort did an amazing job. Winston looks so handsome!
And so ends 9 years of love and friendship and 8.5 of those years were shared with NW Pet resort. We have taken our Casey here since she was 6 months old and have been a very frequent fixture for the entire time. They have loved her like their own and even now as we deal with her cancer and end of life, the staff even continue to check on us while we comfort her at home. We could not have asked for a better environment or caregivers for our furry family member. This place and these people are amazing! To all the staff, thank you for the 8.5 years of amazing and loving care you have shown me and our family. As a business owner who understands the value of great customer service in this day and age, I give them the highest recommendation. Scott and Ashley are amazing and work tirelessly to provide your pets with a safe and loving environment that allows your pets to thrive.
Never did I expect to find a daycare/boarding facility that cares as much about our dog as we do. You can also purchase high quality pet supplies with them and support many local companies while doing so. If you need grooming, they can help with that too! Truly a one stop shop. It’s exceptionally clean and they genuinely love our boy! He’s always excited to go play with his friends at daycare and we’re always excited to see the staff which have become like family to us. Our dog has stayed as long as 10 days before and they even sent us pictures of him while we were gone to ease our worries. NWPR also makes sure to group dogs by temperament/size/activity level which makes them stand out compared to other facilities. The owners Ashley and Scott have put so much thought and hard work into this facility and are always taking steps to ensure all dogs get the best level of care possible. They are also very active in the community and have done things such as feed/board law enforcement dogs at no cost. This is the best and only place we trust to take care of our pets since they are treated like family.
Kelly at WAGS CDA is wonderful! She takes my dog for mid day adventures while I am at work and he has a fantastic time! She always checks in and sends the cutest pictures.
Kelly and her crew at Wags are always our go-to for our dog sitting needs! They are reliable, responsible, and we always know our dogs are going to be loved on the whole time we are gone. They keep our dogs in their regular routine, follow my detailed instructions, and regularly send pictures. Our 3 dogs have done well with all of the pet sitters from Wags!
Wags CDA has put our minds at ease while we are away from home. Kelly and her incredible team watched our beloved Mo cat on three separate occasions, and each time we came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. We received regular photo updates showcasing playful cuddles and enthusiastic feather toy chases. It was clear Mo was getting plenty of love and attention. Beyond the essential care, they went the extra mile. They followed Mo's specific kidney supplement schedule, cleaned the litter box’s meticulously, and even watered our house plants. These thoughtful touches were greatly appreciated and solidified our trust in their pet-caring abilities. If you're seeking a compassionate, responsible, and cat-loving sitter, then I highly recommend Wags CDA!
Cannot share enough positive comments about Wags and Kelly and her team. Ok …so I will just give a few! Our fur baby comes first and Wags reflects that in how they provide all the loves and care for her. They ask questions about her and her routine. They are always on time, send daily pictures and we come home to a house that looks the way we left it and sometimes better! The best part though is when we return, we can just tell that our girl is always happy and loved on. We have had Kelly come to our winter home because of a circumstance beyond our control and it was so nice for us to have the piece of mind that she was in great care! If I could give 10 stars I would!
Wags to the rescue!!! We LOVE our Wags Gals! it feels so good to know that our pups are getting loved on when we are away on vacation or super busy with work. Each and every person we’ve worked with is AMAZING and we will be using our Wags Fam for years to come! 10/10 recommend!
My experience with Kelly and WAGS was that they were a lifesaver for us! My daughter had the opportunity to go on a 30 day road trip and I was moving at the same time so there was no one to watch her 2 high maintenance cats! In stepped Kelly to the rescue! She was absolutely wonderful, she even sent us pictures of the cats while she was with them! I would HIGHLY recommend WAGS for any pet related needs.....you will be thrilled with the service!
Wags Cda has the most caring staff. I know that all the pets are well loved and taken care of while the owners are gone.
I’ve searched for a pet sitter that would treat our dog as we do. That means, stay in our home, spend the night, lots of snuggles, walks and regular feeding times. Wags has done all of the above with a very professional business model. I have complete trust that our home and dog will be taken care of.
Our dog Scout loves to come to PlayNStay. He always is happy and excited when he gets to go to daycare! He comes home played out which makes for a restful evening for everyone. The staff is friendly, personal and kind. They are very knowledgeable of the dogs and owners. Scout has his spa days here as well and come home clean and smelling great - I have never had a negative experience. Would definitely recommend PlayN Stay even if it is to just have your dog enjoy some social time with others once in awhile .
Play N Stay and the employees are FANTASTIC. I was so nervous to leave my small dog somewhere when I traveled to see family for a week, but they put my fears to ease. Sam and Josh, as well as the other employees were so kind And made my dog feel comfortable and took great care of her. It makes the difference when you can see the employees actually enjoy their job and love animals. I will continue to use this establishment as they are top-notch.
With so many choices we have, we always choose play n stay! I never worry about their care. We were gone 7 nights and our dogs had fun and were well cared for!
I was thrilled to find such an experienced and compassionate provider for my beloved pooches. Everyone at Play N Stay accommodated my concerns for my 16 year old labradoodle as well as those for my very fearful 1 1/2 year old micro mini bernedoodle. I look forward to having Plan N Stay care for my pooches whenever I need a place for them to stay in the future. Thank you to all of the staff at Play n Stay.
They took care of our two dogs for 11 days, including my 15 year old lab mix who is quite geriatric. She came back more energetic than she has been in months. Our younger dog, a shelter rescue who is very skittish, was comfortable around them. I plan on using this service again when we fly out of Spokane.
Our pup always comes home happy and tired! We trust the Play N Stay team to provide a safe environment for our Ginny every time we leave town, which is really comforting. The team is communicative, kind, and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. We're happy to have this spot be our go-to dog daycare/boarding place in Spokane.
I have taken my German Shepherds to Play & Stay for years for daycare and boarding. P & S personnel are outstanding, professional, and do a stellar job in taking care of my dogs.
Wonderful experience! I boarded my two small dogs for several days with great results. My Chihuahua came home happy as a clam! My Chinese Crested, who has always been skittish and sensitive, came home calm and relaxed. He is now a more balanced dog and I couldn’t be happier. Love this place! Highly recommend!
Play N Stay is wonderful! They have a smooth process, quick and easy drop off and pick up, and sincere care and concern for our lil fur loved ones. Very friendly staff and reasonable rates!
We have appreciated the flexibility of the staff at Play N Stay regarding our dogs. Our now deceased Tassie Etta had issues with small dogs and they handled it in a way that she was well socialized but the little ones were safe. Now our husky Sasha gets so excited when she realizes where we are. They handle her high energy very well so she doesn't spend too much time in time out. That is all to say, they pay attention to the individual dogs needs.
My dog LOVES Forest Acres! I am so happy I found Chelsea - she is amazing with all the dogs and I can tell she loves what she does. There is so much room to run and play. My pup is so happy and exhausted when I pick him up - I have a huge smile when I leave every time!
Our pup had a great extended vacation at Forest Acres Dog Stay. She was treated as if she were in her own home with room to roam and get comfy. The animals are vetted well and our golden retriever had plenty of fun friends to play with during her stay.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We are so lucky to have Chelsea and her Forest Acres Dog Stay. Our pup enjoys her time at Chelsea’s so much that sometime it seems like she doesn’t want to leave. Chelsea is always quick to respond and is so great with the dogs. Her property has a lot of room for the dogs to run and play together. We love getting videos and pictures of the pups from Chelsea while we are away. I highly recommend Forest Acres Dog Stay!!
Chelsea is incredible! First off, I was expecting Chelsea’s home to be kind of a scrappy and smelly…. Um it is immaculately clean, but also totally dog friendly. I had no idea anyone could take care of my dog as good as she does. Huckleberry (my golden) loves going to her house! It’s really a vacation for him. He isn’t sad or stressed when we leave. He gets special treats like deer meat for dinner some nights, he gets to sleep near Chelsea (which he loves), he has other fun dogs and toys to play with. Plenty of room to run around and play. Chelsea sends me pictures and videos of Huck and how he is interacting with the other dogs. She is a dog lover and it shows. Chelsea is a really special human, so happy I happened to stumble upon her number when googling dog sitters. She will be our forever dog sitter as long as she will have us. Forever customers.
My dog had a wonderful vacation of his own at Forest Acres Doggy Day care. He got to be in a lovely home and treated like family. This was his first time being away from home while we were gone and it was like Doggy camp and he had a blast. Thank you Chelsea
An absolute gem of a place! Chelsea took wonderful care of our two dogs while we adventured on our bikes for the day in Sandpoint. The property is so well set up, the dogs got to play outside and cool down inside. Chelsea was extra sweet to our nervous older dog, which was so appreciated and made us feel safe and comfortable leaving her for the day. We will 100% be using Forest Acres again for any boarding needs if we find ourselves in the area. Thank you, Chelsea!
We left our 11 month old golden retriever with Chelsea for 10 days. Each day, Chelsea would send us videos and pictures of our girl playing with the other dogs. Her communication with us was top notch throughout the entire stay. When we picked up our dog, she was bathed and so clean! The yard is perfect for the dogs to play, and the house is set up in a way that the dogs all have space to play and sleep. We will definitely be using Forest Acres again. Thanks so much, Chelsea!
We have used Forest Acres for both doggie day care and overnight boarding. Cookie loves Chelsea and all the dogs that are there. This was the fist time we have boarded our dog and Chelsea made us feel at ease, she runs a very well organized business and is awesome with dogs.
Chelsea and Forest Acres Dog Stay are the BEST home-away-from-home EVER! We could not believe how happy and comfortable our pup was with Chelsea and all the other dogs, some hers and some visitors also. Chelsea is clearly a dog-whisperer and is in tune with each dog individually and knows what’s good for the varying play groups as well. The property is so well maintained and perfectly set up for your dog’s enjoyment, which we could see in every photo and video, not to mention our dog’s smile too!! We cannot say enough about how awesome Chelsea is!!
What a wonderful place for a dog. Our dogs had a great time. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend Forest Acres Dog Stay.
