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.

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!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
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!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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 $20 per visit, $10/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 HIGHLY recommend Julie!! She is absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies and every dog she cares for. They will feel like and beloved like they are at home. She goes above and beyond of what I have experienced with other doggy daycare and boarding. My boys get super excited about going to see her.
Can’t say enough good things about Julie!! She treats my dogs like they are her own and they LOVE going to her house! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and is extra skilled at taking care of the little ones (mine are 5 and 7 pounds). Love love Julie!!
Julie is amazing with my boys. They love her and have so much fun playing with all of their friends. She provides all the comforts of home, everything is very clean with lots of attention and detail to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for dogs! I love all the photos she sends!!
Julie is AWESOME!!!! We haven't cut our dogs nails for YEARS because he hates to have it done and no one seems to be able to do it!! Julie jumped right in and literally did it in NO time at all and my dog had no problem at all. Thank you so much Julie!
We ABSOLUTELY adore Julie & her pet service. She is wonderful with the animals. We would recommend her highly to anyone! Cupcake loves her!
Julie is 100% professional, and also treats our pup like a family member. Our dog loves it there!
Kody loves to go to Aunt Julie’s. He loves her, and he loves all his little doggie friends there. He has a great time there. She treats all the dogs as her own family members.
Julie is the absolute best! She is so good at trimming our labs nails and is so kind and caring!
The most amazing dog sitting place ever. Julie has a true passion for little creatures. She is the original dog whisperer!!
Julie is a great dogsitter. My dog can't wait to go see her!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Rae at The Blue Hound. She provides exceptional care for her clients and runs an incredibly organized operation, ensuring that all payments are up to date and that every client is always in a relaxed, comfortable environment. Rae’s personal touch and attention to detail set The Blue Hound apart from any larger boarding facility. I would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for professional, compassionate care—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients.
Our 9 year old chocolate lab, Ellie, loves The Blue Hound. Rae is amazing and makes her feel like part of the family. We often receive a picture of our girl too. Ellie loves the outdoor area, as well as, being inside. I can't image going anywhere else. Rae has experience with animals and it shows.
I have a Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, and a Flemish giant. I am very particular with my pets and used to always be worried to leave them for any amount of time but The Blue Hound has put all my concerns aside. I have used The Blue Hound to check in on my animals in my home, kept them at their home, and even dropped them off for multiple play dates. I even had to take a couple extended work trips (~10 weeks total) and my animals were spoiled and loved to bits! If I could rate higher than 5/5 I would! Such a wonderful, kind family!
My dog has always been difficult with other dogs, she starts fights! I was so worried going out of town and leaving her! When I returned she was interacting with and enjoying her new pack! She loves going! I now have them care for her just for socialization and she loves it! I actually have a better dog because of them!
I have boarded my animals 2x with this company and I ABSOLUTELY love seeing the picture updates and hearing about them as well. The lady owner (Rae) has also groomed my animals and she did amazing on them! Highly recommend her and her business
My dogs absolutely love going to Rae’s house. They start whining the minute I turn down her road. I know they get lots of attention and love. I receive happy dog pictures throughout their stay. When it’s time to go home they are exhausted. So much play time and lots of new sniffs.
Shadow had such a great time! We boarded him for five days, he got daycare each day, and we were able to see him on the camera and his kennel. They are our new go to!
Wonderful staff, friendly and inviting for our dog. Always willing to give tips for dog care questions. My dacshund is always happy with daycare and boarding. Highly recommend Ruff House.
When we arrive to Rruff house Maple suddenly forgets her manners, jumps over the partition in the car, suddenly doesn't know the word "sit" or "stay" anymore and is just ready to play all day -- just how the slogan goes. When she gets inside she gets so excited she nearly falls. My puppy is so happy here. The staff are such compassionate caregivers to the dogs and overall approachable and friendly. Its been a one off for services, day care and toys. Very grateful for Rruff House!
I was in the liquidator store next door when my 8 month old puppy jumped out of my truck and proceeded to run out into Industrial Way with trucks and cars going by. This fast acting woman working at RUFF House opened the door and caught the attention of my dog who then ran to her and inside the building. Her fast actions and quick thinking saved me from a potential tragedy. I’m forever greatful for her kind and quick actions!
Had the pleasure of boarding our 2 English bulldogs for the first time last week. . The dogs seemed like they had a fun time, and the staff were very friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Rruff house.
Took my 3 large dogs (2 Huskies and Malamute) all at the same time for a spa day... Tgey look great nails included. All for $51.00. Office/ shop looks great, lots of room for the dogs to rompand play whike they waited. Staff was great as well as the owners. Very nice and personable. Would highly recommend them for ours to come and give this new business a try. I will be back for sure.... They played so much they where tired 2 hrs after we got home, as you can see nap time....
Rruff House is the best they love my baby girl and take great care of her. I highly recommend Rruff House to any fur baby owners looking for a place they trust to leave their fur babies to play and socialize.
When looking for a place where you can take your fir puppy to be boarded while out of town, you don't think about what would happen if your dog had an emergency. When my puppy started showing signs of a medical emergency, RH contacted me immediately and drove down to Vancouver to wait for hours by the emergency vet that he was stable and that they would call when they had an opening, so Molly took Bogey back a stayed with him all night until they could see the Vet in the morning. The Vet sent her to a different pet hospital and determined that Bogey needed surgery to remove the blockage. Being 1000's miles away this is terrifying to any Dog Mom. Molly and her team cared for Bogey like he was their own. It turned out that he had eaten grass and dirt that had created a fist-sized ball that got stuck in the intestine. I don't know of any place that would go above and beyond and care for him like their own, like RH did. I will be forever grateful. I will only take my dog to them for all of his training, daycare, and boarding needs. If you are reading this review, that most likely means you are looking for a place for training, daycare, or boarding. This is the place you want your baby to be.
Let me start by saying our dog is our baby and we are ridiculously protective of her, so leaving her at the Rruff House the first time or two made me very anxious. Silly me!! She absolutely LOVES it there. She starts wagging and whimpering with excitement as soon as she knows we’re going to her “school.” The staff there is knowledgeable and caring, and their communication is excellent. She goes to daycare 2-3 half days per week. We also get her groomed there, and have boarded her there several times. The Rruff House is amazing! There’s no other place I will ever take her.
Best place in town to board your pets. They offer enrichment exercises that are awesome for your pets mind. And if you need some training help they cover that too. They truly love each and every animal they care for and make them feel like family.
Really great boutique and Dog Daycare from set up, my rating is based on the groom job we received. Everyone is very kind, we were able to get in quickly (within a week) but we were disappointed in our groom. Our girl was pretty grungy, but when basic Paws, sanitary trim, and ears weren't even done as part of the package we asked for. It looks like they just took a pair of clippers with a long groom and went all over, not a technical haircut at all- even so her paws look like Dr Seuss critters and there was no cleaning up or evening her face, and she is much longer than what we asked for as well. Positives, she's cleaner, smells better and clipped down a little bit, and the girls there are really kind!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! The employees are so caring and the owners are so helpful, I’m very thankful that we have somewhere to take our little Yorky, Melvin, knowing that he will be cared for a great environment!
Love them. Friendly, courteous service. They take great care with my dog with giving her a bath or day care. Love them.
Love this place! Owner is super cool and really knowledgeable.
Great place
Thank you so so much! <3 Please let us know if we can help you further.
This place is great to take your dog to. They offer a variety of services, have a small pet store, and my 15 year old Husky is always well taken care of! They are not the cheapest, or most expensive. But, things are chill, easy check-in & check-out, and they remind you if your pets vaccinations need to be done before boarding again.
We've been taking our four- year old chocolate lab since she was 8 weeks old. She looks forward to visiting her dog friends at least once a week for several hours and always comes back happy, fed, and tired! She is taking well care of.
My pups love them so much they howl when they see Chevron on Industrial Way. I can't get them inside fast enough. Always friendly staff. The picture is my boys after a fun day with their friends at the Dog Zone
Doug and his staff are fantastic. I would highly recommend the Dog Zone to anyone looking for good care for their pet. Our German Shepherd struggled to socialize with other dogs at other places and was totally stressed out especially going to a place in Woodland call Lone Pine Kennals. The final straw at Lone Pine was when the owner said she wanted to muzzle our dog so she couldn't bark so much. I couldn't imagine how much more that would stress our dog out so I went looking for a new Kennel and found the Dog Zone. For two years now our German Shepherd has loved going here as now does our Golden Doodle Puppy. We really appreciate Doug and his staff taking care of our dogs. Also...regarding the 1 Star Review by Life Everlasting I actually walked in at the end of this event. Doug was being very polite while this woman was acting totally insane threatening him and threatening to call the cops for who knows what. I did not witness Doug doing anything wrong while this woman raged like a lunatic and then went out to her car parked next to mine. When I left she glared at me like I had done something as well. Honestly I was a bit worried about Doug so I went back in and said he had was waiting for the cops to arrive. I later asked him what came of it and he said nothing since nothing happened other than this lady being a jerk. Obviously her post is complete BS. Doug and his staff are the best but one thing about the good ol Internet anyone can say anything they want especially complete nutjobs like the woman with the user name Life Everlasting. She needs help. If you need further proof just look at her other couple nutty reviews. Of course they are 1 Star as well. Gee...I wonder what the common denominator is with her? Could be her I am thinking.
I love the dog zone. They love my dog nearly as much I do and I know she's safe and happy when we drop her off.
My dog stayed with the dogs on for eight days. I was never worried or concerned who’s able to watch on the live feeds. They gave her a bath and her nails and when I picked her up yes she was excited to see me. They took excellent care of her. No worries. Usually when I leave her in boarding, she comes home with a cough or diarrhea. Nothing she’s as healthy as can be. Thank you dog zone, and everyone who cared for her for taking such great care.
I dropped my dog off for daycare there on two separate days, my initial thought was how it was odd all the dogs are outside 24/7 when in their care, and how they are all in a concrete lot. The first day was fine he came home very dirty and wet though from being outside/ laying on the dirty wet concrete (since they spray the dog waste off the concrete as well it’s never really dry I noticed from watching the cameras). The second day I dropped him I noticed every time I checked the camera multiple dogs were chasing him and mounting him excessively on multiple occasions and no staff member went out to address this so I can’t tell if they were even watching the dogs. Again when I picked him up he was filthy, soaking wet, and smelled like dog poop when I gave him a bath the night before due to his previous day at their daycare. I’m not a “Karen” and I don’t usually write reviews either, especially bad reviews but I was very disappointed in their daycare services since all they do is put him in a giant kennel with other dogs and take them in and out as dogs are picked up/ dropped off. It’s also worth mentioning that there were at least four staff members in the office when I came to pick up my dog from daycare but none of them were outside watching the dogs in the lot. Just thought I’d share since we’ve been to multiple daycares (due to us moving) and we’ve never had this issue. Their facilities are also not very welcoming for the dogs, other daycares have structures for them to run and play on but the dog zone.
We have our baby boy in daycare here and he loves it after just a week he comes home tired. He is amazing at home and clearly they are working with him and keeping him busy and playing. Can't believe the change we see in our 7 month old puppy. Love it.
We have a 90 lbs mixed breed dog that travels with us in our RV. After a couple of weeks he begins to really smell and it’s amplified in a close space. Finding a place we can bathe him is always one of the first things we look for when we get to a new location. We were very happy to find the Dog Zone offered a wash your own dog service. We really appreciate that since he is good in the bath and with his short fur we don’t need the other services a groomer offers. The bathing facilities in the Dog Zone were nice with elevated tubs and a table for drying with a blow dryer. Our dog really enjoyed the treat options they offer after his bath too. It was a pleasant experience for us and we have been twice since arriving in the area. We only wish they had more facilities along our route.
I have been taking my puppy and my old boy here for daycare for several months. They have been absolutely wonderful taking care of my babies. When my puppy was spayed and I was worried about her being alone while I had to work they were able to house her in a kennel and kept a close eye on her for me. My old boy can’t play all day so they put him out in the yard part of the day and let him rest in a kennel during the rest. Their obedience classes are excellent. I have nothing but praises and deep gratitude for the entire staff. They are welcoming and caring. Your dog will be happy and safe with The Dog Zone.
Healthy Hound was an easy evaluation and daycare option for my old border collie boy. They treated us like family. Excited to go back with my retired Service Dog.
These folks were amazing with my “nervous Normans” of pups. My dogs are anxious and had never been to a groomer. They were kind and caring. And still managed to get my boys squeaky clean!! On top of all that, I was amazed at what reasonable prices they have. Thank you for a great experience
Super glad I found this place! They have treated my pup so amazingly. They squeezed us in when I showed up on the wrong day, already had a relationship with my adopted dog which made her coming in way less stressful and the vibe is super dope. If I ever had to doggy day care I definitely feel like she would be completely safe and happy. I also LOVE whatever they add after she is bathed, it just makes me wanna take her home and cuddle her all night. Thank you all for being so awesome!
My pup Brody loves this place. He has some great interactions and the people working there care about those they are taking care of
This is such a great place! My puppy really enjoyed her time there. The staff is so nice and understanding (I called numerous times to check on my baby and they were pleasant and understanding evertime) we will definitely be using them more often!
Best doggie day care ever!!! And boarding. Allie loves this place, and so do her puppy parents :)
Have only used them for grooming. Clean. Very kind. Have been happy with the grooming they did. Our dog was nervous going the first time but has never had a problem since.
Nice people. They sell mostly quality products. Upgraded the review from four stars to five stars as a recently started promotional incentives for Nutrisource which is the only dog food I've given my dogs in the last 12 years.
Took my dig to trim the nails. It was fast, and my dog felt amazing!Thank you for your work,guys!
So far so good, this was my first time at this groomer, both my dogs did well with the staff, reception was pleasant, friendly and informative, gave me hours of operation and wrote everything down for me. Nail clipping was finished quickly. My dogs were happy and fine after, not like another place I tried that left my dogs scared to return for future nail trimmings. I will go back here to see how future services go.
We've been taking my Golden here since he was a puppy for trips to the amusement or water park and other vacations. He's just happier here with a huge common area and fenced in area to run and socialize with other dogs. They keep extra eyes on behaviors just in case but I've never had an issue. They send pictures while he stays of him playing. It is out in the country a bit but super easy to get to off I-5 and I feel safer and more comfortable knowing he's not locked in a cage all day. Worth the drive and they are very reasonable prices
Best groomers in the PNW. Kind and loving. I drive from Vancouver to CCC to have my senior pup groomed. Would never think about taking her anywhere else.
Very nice and warming groomers and very affordable my puppy Lucy when I say it's time for her bath and nail trimming she's ready to go with her little tail straight up and wagging like there was no time to waste and her ears straight up and let's go DADDY !!Columbia canine cottage is and will be her once a month visit and who ever takes care of her for me are just exceptional individuals and always happy to see her and adore her she's worse than my 30year old daughter but she's all I have and you know what ya she's spoiled rotten I highly recommend anyone looking for a professional groomer Columbia canine cottage is your right place to take your pet for grooming thank you C.C.C greatly appreciated mark and lucy
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have a 5 year old Samoyed and know how difficult her coat can be. We have been to at least half a dozen groomers in her life, and never found somewhere as great as Columbia Canine Cottage. I was referred by a friend of mine and got in touch with Keely who is absolutely amazing. She makes myself and my dog feel so comfortable at drop off. She is so sweet and loving to my dog, which is super important to me because my dog has separation anxiety. Keely will text me pictures of my dog during or after the groom to show me how things went. When I pick my dog up, she does not show any signs of stress, only excitement upon seeing me. Keely also makes time to sit and talk with me after the groom to let me know how things go. She does not ever make me feel rushed or unheard and instead reassures all my worries. She also has my groom completed in around 2 hours which is mind blowing because other places will have my dog for 4-5 hours. She does an amazing job with the wash, blow dry and brush, and trims up the paws and sanitary area. I am thankful that she does not trim parts of my dog that she shouldn't (as other groomers have done before). I have started to use them for more than just grooming, because I know my dog is comfortable there. I have started leaving her for the day, or "doggy day care", to let her get more comfortable with the other dogs and being there for longer periods of time. I feel very comfortable leaving her for longer periods of time and will be taking advantage of their boarding program for my next trip. Again, so thankful to have found this place! Thanks for always taking such great care of my baby girl<3
My dog loves it here! She barely looked back at me the last time I dropped her off. I love all the photo updates I get seeing her make friends and being so happy. I was worried she might like it better than home but I think she just feels like it’s an actual vacation for her 💛 …
I was having surgery in Seattle and left two of my dogs at CCC. They seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I was a little nervous leaving them since we’ve never been apart, but I was sent photos on a daily basis. They seemed to be in good spirits when I picked them up. I’ll use them again :) Thanks CCC!
Best dog boarding facility I've ever seen. Lots of places like to lie about how much time the dogs spend in cages. This place has staff 24/7, and the dogs are only caged up when someone arrives for drop-off or pickup. They just run as a pack all day, and sleep on couches and beds with a person at night. They have a van to pick up dogs for day care to run around with the pack, only costs like $2 an hour. They also have grooming, my standard poodle loves it there and the groom is the cheapest I've found.
Wonderful caring staff. We've used this place many times with several dogs and it's always been a success. Can't praise them enough, for both boarding and grooming services.
This is our choice every time we need boarding services, and for years our dogs have had exceptional care. They come home excited and happy, and Kurt has made sure to promptly answer any questions we have had. His employees are kind, caring and our dogs love each one. This is where to go for any boarding needs!
Can't say enough great things about Columbia Canine Cottage. They do a great job with our pup, Cheddar, who seems to do well in their care. They send us regular updates and unlike so many boarding places they aren't spending most of their days cooped up, but being loved and cared for by the staff.
We recently discovered Zoe and Jonathan's Double Dog Ranch. Our Bernedoodle, Smudge, loves it there; just look at him running and jumping and having a great time. Smudge always comes home worn out from playing with the other doggie guests. We will definitely be bringing Smudge back for more time on the Ranch!
Double Dog Ranch is the ideal place to board canine family members. Jonathan and Zoe have created an amazing environment where dogs thrive. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
Our dogs are happiest when they are at the ranch. They get excited the second we pull up and love to run and play with Jonathan and the other dogs. One of our dogs is a little high anxiety and Jonathan is great about knowing when she needs a time out or office cuddles. And both come home healthy, happy, and exhausted.
DDR is simply awesome! Our German Shepherd loves it. It's like Disney World for dogs: lots of room to run, things to chew, toys to climb ... The owners are fantastic. I am so very glad a friend recommended them, and I in turn would gladly do the same.
My dog loves going to DDR. And we are so happy to see all the Instagram photos while we are traveling that show the pups having so much fun together. This place is the best!
Double Dog is an awesome boarding experience for your dog! Zoe and Jonathan take incredible care of your pup. Their place is clean and the landscaping is beautiful. Can't wait to go back!
I never feel guilty about not taking my dog on a trip when she gets to have her own fun at Double Dog Ranch. When she gets on the shuttle bus, she knows she's in for a good time. She gets to play in the open field with other friendly dogs, greet the llama and other animals next door and hang out with Zoe and Jonathon who love every dog as if they were their own.
Double Dog Ranch Oregon is now second home to our German Shepherd, Coco. She loves it there, and she loves Zoe and Jonathan so much it makes us confident and happy to give her "spa breaks" there. As we drive closer, Coco watches through the window and vocalizes her excitement, then runs from the truck to greet her second family. Zoe and Jonathan have hearts big and warm enough for all their guests, but Coco is confident she's their favorite. Best. Dog. Spa. Ever!
I'd give them six stars if I could. The owners are extremely passionate about dogs and very nice people. Their facility is an old dairy farm converted to use for dogs. There's a lot of covered, heated area for rainy days or a big open field for sunny days. Our German Shepherd is always happy to show up there and in a great mood when we pick him up. I'd recommend DDR to ANYONE.
Jonathan and Zoe cared about my rancher as if she was their own. I was nervous about leaving her but when we went for a meet and greet, Jonathan put my worries at ease. Great place to take the fur kid when on vacation.
Susie's is absolutely amazing! Our Kono loves it there! Everyone there is so sweet and take such wonderful care of our little princess. Drop off and pick up is easy and smooth. She was excited to see us but didn't want to leave either! I highly recommend Susie's I'd give a 10 if I could!
I'd never boarded my dogs before. I always had house sitters. I tried Susie's and I was pleased. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and didn't smell. When I took them back the second time they seemed happy to be there, so obviously no hard feelings from before. The folks were easy to work with and the check in, check out process was smooth. Nice job folks!
I was helping friends while they were on vacation in Greece. I had to pick up and drop off Barnum, their dog, several times. The staff that work here are so wonderful. You can tell right away how much they love all the pets. I would definitely recommend Susie's and if I had a pet I would not take it anywhere else. You guys are the best.
If I were a dog, I would want my owner to board me at Susie's. Joking aside, I've used Susie's to look after my 3 dogs many times over the last couple of years and have had a consistently excellent experience. I have no doubt how much the people who work there love animals, it shows, and it gives me total peace of mind leaving my boys with them. Additionally, they are wonderful people, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.
Greatest place and group of folks in the world. If you want a great safe place for your pet to stay at look no further! Absolutely love this place. Suzie, Bobby and Sarah are awesome!
This is the only boarding facility where I wasn’t worried about the well-being of my 3 pups while I was away. Adorable and thought setup. Friendly owner. Extra clean facility. Fair prices. The only kennel we’ll use in Vancouver. Make sure you book early- they are popular and space is hard to come by!
This place deserves all of the awards it can get. And so do the people. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else. Susie’s Country Inn is amazing.
I NEVER leave my dog! However I had to board him for several days & I'm so fortunate a friend told me about Susie's. Welcoming, clean, wonderful staff, excellent care of my baby and reasonably priced. Years ago I had a bad experience leaving my dog so I am very critical of any facility. Susie's ticks all the boxes. You can safely entrust your fur baby to their care.
Susie is a fantastic trainer and she runs an excellent, clean facility that cares about you and your dogs. We have had to leave town fairly frequently and Susie has been dependable, her staff is friendly, the drop-off process is thoughtful and clear. I can't say enough about the facility itself; it has a great vibe. It's welcoming and professional. I know my pets are safe. We feel so very fortunate to have Susie and her team to care for our pets when life takes us out of town. Would recommend, thank you.
Susie's is a great place to board your pet. They are so kind! It's always a good sign when your fur friend is pulling you across the parking lot to go inside. We love these guys and have had nothing but positive experiences.
My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!
Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!
We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!
This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆
Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!
We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!
This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾
Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.
The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!
We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.
I had a week long vacation out of the country and was very thrilled when I found Lori! I have never left my bunny with someone before for that long and was super nervous. Lori made me feel much better about the whole process by giving me access to the bunny room camera and her extensive knowledge on rabbits. I got to check on my little guy the whole time I was gone! Will definitely use Whisker Wise boarding the next time I’m out of town!
My three guinea pigs are very spoiled and precious to me, so it’s hard for me to leave them when we go out of town. I am so glad to have found Whisker Wise! Lori takes excellent care of my girls and responds readily to texts when I inquire about how they’re doing. They stayed with her for over two weeks this summer while we were visiting family and upon picking them up I could see they were happy and healthy (no lost weight, which happened at a previous place we boarded them at). She even gives them fresh veggies/tomatoes from her garden! Definitely recommend Whisker Wise. :)
Our guinea pigs Teddy and Domino were very well cared-for during our week and half away this month. The owner is super responsive to texts, understanding and responsible, and even sent us a cute video of our babies. :) Would definitely use again! Oh, and it was super affordable too!
Whisker Wise watched my two bonded English Lop Rabbits for about 17 days. Lori did such a good and attentive job in caring for them! They seem healthy and happy as can be. I also really enjoyed that Whisker Wise Animal Care and Boarding has cameras set up over the rabbit areas so you can check in on your rabbit at any time. Lori is also extremely kind and definitely cares about the animals themselves. When my rabbits ran out of a supplement/treat Lori went out and bought some more. I would definitely leave my Rabbits with Whisker Wise again!
When I went out of town for a week I was glad to find a place like whisker wise and someone like Lori to take care of my bunny. I've never boarded her before so I was a little apprehensive, but Lori assured me she would be very well cared for. She even offered to place her in a pen with a camera. It was so nice to see her on video whenever I wanted so I could check up on her and be able to move the camera around to see who she was rooming next to.The size of the pen looked very spacious and nicely set up with blankets. I would very much recommend Whisker Wise for any of your pocket pets and will definitely be using them again in the future!
I love Whisker Wise Animal Care & Boarding! Lori is absolutely wonderful and takes such good care of my rabbit. I never have to worry about him when I go out of town. She gives him the attention he needs and gives me updates on how he is doing. The setup she provides for rabbits is really nice and big. I used to board my bunny with my veterinarian, but I much prefer Whisker Wise. I have no reason to ever go to another boarder again!
Lori takes amazing care with the animals she watches. I was anxious to leave my newly adopted bunny for a week, but when I came back my sweet Maggie was even tamer than before! She has an amazing set up for bunnies (super cool modified room!) with toys and boxes and even little sitting pads for the bunns. She's super flexible about pick up and drop off and is very kind! She is awesome! Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience! Our senior bunny was well cared for during the 10 days we were out of town, and I loved being able to check on her via webcam. We will definitely be booking again the next time we go on a trip!
Having recently moved to the area, we were a little nervous with finding a new place to have our rabbits stay while we were out of town. Lori was great to talk to and put me at ease- additionally having a camera where we could view our buns to check in on them was a huge plus as well! Benny and Jasper were well taken care of during their stay over the New Year's holiday. Definitely will be bringing our buns here in the future for boarding. Thank you Lori!
Lori took in my bunnies at the last minute because I lost power. She was super kind and helpful! She was flexible and attentive. I know my kids were well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and will go back to her in the future.
