Dog Sitters in Kalama, WA

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!

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!

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great doggy day care here! They offer pick-up and drop-offs during the weekdays and play with them all day to get their energy out while we are at work. They also offer overnight stays. Very helpful and friendly staff 🐶 …

I'm 72, and I can't give my pup more than two walks per day, so the dog ranch a couple of days per week is a perfect addition to keep my pup exercised. Plus he loves going!

PDR is awesome!!! Tons of fun for my boy and he’s always coming home happy and tired. He’s been a regular for years and always is stoked about playing at the ranch

My Dog LOVES this place! Mel and Cameron are very nice with great customer service skills. I can tell when they come to pick my dog up that they treat him very well. He’s always super excited to see them.

Boarded our 2.5 year old black lab here for 10 days. We were a little nervous that her first time there was 10 days. When we picked her up, she was excited to see us but as soon as she got in the car she was antsy staring back at the front gate wanting to go back already! Prices are reasonable, especially with the accommodations provided! I can’t think of another place your dog will get more freedom or socialization the PDR. We plan to use PDR any time we need dog boarding in the future!

Great service, our dog had a terrific day

Dipstick absolutely loves this place! It is the perfect place to socialize, and "run with the pack". Brian is a wonderful guy, and his prices are comparable to the so-called "doggy daycares" that are in small old business buildings. I recommend this place all day every day!

Such a great dog park. Worth the drive if you're out of town a few days. Dogs came back happy and so tired! Plus for a bit extra they'll wash them for you 👌 …

Our kids go every Monday, rain or shine! The almighty Bark Bus rolls up like the circus rolling into a small midwestern town, we open the front door and Cooper and Biscuit are out the door, down the driveway and into the days adventure like kids to an ice cream truck. They come home so happy and then they collapse and don’t move for the rest of the day! Mission accomplished! We’ve been sending them to Brian for years and it’s an essential part of our dog family life! And did I mention he does boarding at a very reasonable rate. He’s a dog saint.

Our dog loves it at Paradise Dog Ranch. He gets to spend his days running around with his K-9 buddies and goes crazy as soon as he realizes he is headed there. Brian does a great job with the dogs and will always be our first choice.

We love camp bow wow. Their app is great to manage reservations and book boarding/daycare. Our dog has stayed there many times overnight during trips. I know she is in good hands there! All workers are attentive and truly get to know your dogs.

I don’t trust many with the care of my little furry girl- but I do trust Camp Bow Wow- they are always friendly and supportive- and great at communicating any issues or health concerns that might arise

Our pup is super happy every time he goes there. They are welcoming and caring and sometimes lifesavers when life gets crazy. Love Camp Bow Wow. From AZ to WA they do not disappoint and we are very grateful we found them.

Hank, our golden doodle absolutely loves Camp bow wow. They are always friendly and know all about Hank and he has the best time. He gets groomed while he is there and it is just so convenient for us to drop him on our way to work.

I love the hours because I can work a full shift knowing that she's having fun, she's safe, and I don't have to rush to pick her up. I also love that I can check in on her at any time thanks to the cameras. It makes my breaks very enjoyable. The staff is also very friendly.

I have a young pup who goes to camp about 3 days a week. Doggy daycare is a great way for him to socialize with other dogs and his behavior at home has improved since he now has an outlet for all his puppy energy. Plus they have doggy cameras.

Camp Bow Wow's daycare has been a great experience for my dog, Yenn! She's always excited to go and always tired when she comes home - which is exactly what a dog parent wants. The staff is always kind and professional and they have the cutest events for the holidays. We've been going here for months now and continue to do so. Thanks Camp Bow Wow team!

I know that my dogs will be well cared for when they stay at camp bow wow. They have helped my shy pittie mix become more confident and my senior maltipoo is safe and comfortable.

I love camp bowow because it’s super convenient for me and my family to drop our dog off whenever we are going out of town. Also, the staff are super patient and sweet with our naughty dog Loki 😂. Our little rascal is one year old turning two this year and he is a handful. I love that I can drop him off any day of the week when there’s availability for him to burn some energy.

I absolutely adore this place for my boys! Please continue with the fantastic work.

Amazing place for your pup ! Daisie Mae loves coming here for day care . Great friendly staff . Good Job

We chose Roxy’s for our 12 year old Alaskan Malamute during our 2 week honeymoon. He’s an old man and we were nervous to leave him so long, but he was in great hands and we’re so thankful to have found Roxy’s! He needs some extra care in his old age and they handled him wonderfully. We came home to a happy dog! Again, we’re so thankful! Would 100% recommend!!

All around best doggy daycare! Everyone is Friendly and great with our Gus.

We LOVE Roxy’s! Our golden Kaia has a blast and she has been going since she was 4 months old. We know she is well taken care and loved - that puts our mind at ease while at work or on longer trips (we use Roxy’s for daycare and boarding).

I do not recommend. ***update*** The owner just replied - when I picked up they said she “attempted” to jump over the fence towards the forest ravine and they were just worried for her safety. There was nothing stated to me about attacking another dog. My dog is not aggressive. She’s a one and a half year-old chocolate lab. Unfortunately, I just wasn’t willing to pay your $1800 dog training. You were willing to take her if I was going to pay you. How fast the tune has changed!

As a helicopter dog mom, I feel at ease leaving our two St Bernard's here for an extended stay or short trip. They come home happy and tired from all the romping around the fields. I do recommend the affordable pre-pickup bath especially when it's wetter out which it is PNW so that's a greater part of the year. This is our go-to for dog care and we'd give the team >5 stars if we could!

Roxy’s is the perfect place for our dog when we go away. He’s highly energetic, intelligent, and incredibly spoiled, but Roxy’s is his home away from home. I love the peace of mind I get during my trips when I know that my very pampered pooch is having all his needs met at Roxy’s. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

We are from Boise and left our Pearl there for an overnight stay while we attended a concert. Very nice place and nice crew. Thankful they could get us in.

Today I called about boarding my 15 year old Husky that has survived 2 strokes. I have rehabilitated her from both. The woman was told this. She went off about how they had to have my dog for a day to check her interactions with all the staff and all the other dogs! Having worked professionally with dogs, there is a standard for dogs to be safe. But just like people not every animal is compatible with every person or other animal. Not every person is compatible with every person. Same is true for dogs & dog/ person relationships. Well intentioned policy gone very wrong!

Juno spent 2 weeks here when we couldn't take her on vacation with us. She was well taken care of. Was washed and looking good when we picked her up. I would recommend.

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

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!

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!

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!

Best doggie day care ever!!! And boarding. Allie loves this place, and so do her puppy parents :)

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.

My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!

Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)

We are so thrilled we found Holly Hearts Animals for our dogs first boarding experience. Holly took amazing care of her needs, gave her daily outings, and spoiled her as if she was her own. My husband and I really appreciated the daily updates & photos of her time in Holly’s care!

This review is long over-due. Holly has been caring for our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely stellar! She is very communicative and very compassionate in the care of our animals. Pricing is fair. Two of our animals have medical issues and one of our dogs in particular has some mobility issues. Holly is always attentive and ensures our pup gets to play without pushing herself too far (she would play fetch all day if she could). When Holly cares for your animals, you can tell she really treats them like family. I would recommend her 100%. Thank you Holly for all you do for our family! PS: She takes some pretty great photos!

We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!

We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.

Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.

Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!

Holly has been incredible with our 1+ yo dog, Maggie. Maggie is full of energy and love and needs a lot of attention and play. Holly expertly guides Maggie through her days and always sends us lots of great photos to put our minds at ease. She has been very flexible to meet Maggie’s needs and our busy schedule. Her toddler is great around dogs, just like her mom!
