My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

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
Fur Family Cinema is the most wonderful place you could ever ask for. My dog Teddy loves it there. All of the staff is so amazing and love him too. They do special things all the time for the dogs like holiday pictures and birthday parties. I know he is getting the best care and their boarding facility is top notch. I highly recommend them!!!
I am so thankful for Fur Family. They take such great care of my pup. I boarded my pup last week and she was able to play all day and sleep in comfort at night. I can leave and not worry about her. She is safe, looked after, and spoiled during her stay. She also goes to daycare every week. We love it. She comes home tired and will sleep soundly when she gets home. She is a vishla and has lots of energy and she can be destructive, but that behavior has stopped since she started going to Fur Family. I highly recommend Fur Family..."where fun is off the leash."
We love Fur Family. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They greet my pup with a smile every time. Boarding is wonderful. You can be assured your furry friend gets plenty of exercise and play time. The kennels are nice and big and a comfortable cot for your pup to sleep. Not to mention they post photos on their social media so you can watch and see! I highly recommend Fur Family!
What a delightful place to take my dog for self wash. Sadie was not happy with the bath but the results made me happy. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly! I was able to get a tour of the facilities. Hope to be back for daycare. Just visiting the area. Hope to return when I am in the area. 🐾😀🐾 …
Rogue always has such an awesome time with her FFC humans and dog friends. We greatly appreciate this place. Rogue has been there for both Kennel and Daycare services. We do miss the reports and photos FFC did when they first opened. Completely understand how much you all have grown from being so awesome to the furry friends!
Wonderful place. Our dogs spent 4 days there while we attended a wedding out of state. They did an amazing job, our pups looked so happy when we picked them up, and they sent us photos during their stay, above and beyond. We even have a special needs dig who is blind and diabetic, and she came back healthy and happy. These are great people, friendly staff, and very attentive to your pets needs. This is the only place we will be taking our pups when the need arises, worth every penny.
The staff were super friendly and professional. I love the special touches of sending pictures of my pup during his grooming appointment. Great place will definitely be taking my dog back.
The staff is ALWAYS kind and welcoming and excited to see my best boi. The facility is clean and safe and well run and when I say “day care” my boy whines excitedly while spinning circles. He also doesn’t move for the rest of the day. lol
I love taking my baby to Fur Family! She always has such a good time and is exhausted when she comes home! I feel like she is loved and cared for when she goes to daycare, which gives me peace of mind while I’m at work! Highly highly recommend!!
I can't say enough great things about fur family. From Daycare to boarding my dog for a week. I'm so grateful our community has a safe, fun place for our animals. This is my dogs favorite place. Staff is fantastic.
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!
Exceptional Care and Outstanding Service Palouse River Kennels exceeded every expectation when they cared for our three dogs on short notice. From the moment we reached out, their staff went above and beyond to communicate with us and ensure our pets were well taken care of. Their dedication and pride in their establishment are evident in every detail. As someone with extensive experience working with domestic, exotic, and exhibition animals, I can confidently say that their care and professionalism are truly unmatched. The facilities are immaculate, and their prices are beyond reasonable for the exceptional service they provide. Palouse River Kennels is an outstanding example of what a pet care facility should be. We are so grateful for their kindness and commitment to our furry family members and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking top-tier care for their pets.
John is incredible. We were evacuated from our home due to a fire with an energetic German wire haired pointer. He stayed open late for us to allow us to drop him off. All the while, I left my tailgate open from the stress and some of my documents fell out of the truck. They tried to dry them and saved them for us, all while I was trying to hide tears of gratitude for the amount of help they provided us in a difficult situation. This is the only place I would trust with our hunting dogs, and were so incredibly grateful that they were willing to help us in a very tight spot.
We've used Palouse River Kennels for the past few years and boarded our two dogs here several times. We always felt they were well taken care of and safe. The facility is always tidy, well taken care of and professional. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend this boarder to anyone in the area in need of a reliable place to board their canines.
I took my 1 year old Norwegian Elkhound named Stormi to the one month training program and had the best experience with John! Before, Stormi would jump up on people, pull on the leash, bark nonstop, and more. John is an excellent trainer and you can tell that he’s a seasoned professional. He gave weekly updates which included phone calls, pictures, and videos of how Stormi was doing. He taught her to heel (on or off leash), stay, come (in any situation), leave it, the “off” command, “quiet” command, and more! I just got back from my first walk with Stormi back home and wow! She followed all of the commands beautifully and I felt comfortable walking with her off leash and she heeled right at my side! She even behaved when we passed a bunch of cows. She would’ve been uncontrollable before going to work with John. I would recommend him to anybody and it was 100% worth the money.
I got my lab puppy as an ESA. She made me more emotional than not. I emailed PRK about her actions, ie: leash pulling on walks, not obeying basic commands, etc. John spent probably an hour talking to me on the phone about her. I was amazed he would take the time to do that as other trainers I've used in the past never did. I signed her up for the month training program but I did board her for a day so John and his staff could be acquainted with her first ... course I had day long appointments and since she liked to chew holes in the furniture to take the stuffing out, I was reluctant to leave her at home. John trained her on the e-collar and she is a totally different puppy. She goes on early morning walks without the e-collar and she continues to do what she was trained to do. Many people have told me she is very calm, obedient, and I've always given them the fact she was trained by a very experienced trainer and where. The biggest dream and goal achieved was to be able to walk her off leash and let her wonder around the yard off leash. John made that dream come true. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend John, his staff, and PRK for training or boarding their precious fur baby.
We took our GSP/ Lab mix to John so he could help us train our dog with an e collar and work with his recall. We spent 1-2 hours there and our dog was transformed! We can now play fetch with him in parks and know he will bring the ball back without distractions. We can confidently have him off leash and he stays close and is much more aware of us and less distracted. John also worked with “leave it” and it made a huge difference with his reactivity around some other dogs. I highly recommend John. He has lots of dog sense and understanding. It’s definitely worth the money to have such a well behaved dog!!
Very easy to work with, very clean and well kept kennels. Boarded my dogs there multiple times. They pay attention to any issues that come up and call me promptly. Good space, fast response times. They book up early around the holidays. Prices are pretty dang reasonable compared to Spokane. Will continue to board here.
Our Lab/Husky mix Sadie has stayed at Palouse River Kennels several times. Occasionally an over night while we are away and more than once a 3 week stay while we traveled outside the USA. Three days ago we were getting ready to drive to Seattle to visit family, we planned to leave Sadie for an overnight stay. As I was loading her extra bed and food bucket into our pickup the night before we left, Sadie noticed and immediately knew we were headed the next day. Sadie was immediately in the pickup and ready to go, it took bribing with treats to get her back into the house to spend the night. The next morning she waited by the door for her ride out to the kennel. As we left the highway to go to the kennel, she started pacing in the back seat in anticipation to get to the kennel. Then as we started up the hill, the Husky in her started talking and letting me know she was happy. Sadie loves her time here and is always happy and delighted when we return. It's a great feeling to know she likes he surroundings and the staff while we are gone. Sadie is a beloved member of our family and we feel comforted that she has no issues with staying at Palouse River Kennels. The staff are friendly and always welcoming. Their bathing service is excellent too! I highly recommend Palouse River Kennels.
We have been boarding our dogs here since the kennel first opened, and we have had nothing but great experiences with the owner and staff. This is indeed the best kennel in the area. Our dogs have always been very well cared for and always seem excited when we take them there for boarding. One of our dogs is very elderly, and we are always kept informed on how she is doing while she is boarding. We bought a puppy last year and we were having behavioral issues with the puppy. John worked with her for half an hour and had her trained and responding to commands in no time at all. The owner and staff are always very professional and truly care about the dogs boarding with them. The kennels are kept clean and the dogs are exercised regularly. They always have plenty of water in their kennel and are fed properly per our instructions we leave with the staff. I cannot recommend a better place to leave your dogs!
I know John Sykes, the owner of Palouse River Kennels, on both a professional and personal level, and he is an extremely conscientious and upstanding individual. Palouse River Kennels is an outstanding facility, and I board my dog there frequently. I am a veterinarian, and I trust John's care of my dog without hesitation. If I didn't already live in Palouse, I would drive miles to board my dog with him. He is compassionate toward all animals and is very knowledgeable regarding their care. I know that Palouse River Kennels will continue to be the excellent boarding facility that it is because it is run by an owner with integrity.
My Golden girl Ruthie attends daycare 1 or 2 days per week. She runs to the door dragging me in ready to greet her faves Emma and Delaney. The staff are always friendly and welcoming as we enter. Ruthie recently spent a full week with TWA while I was on vacation. She was excited to greet me but turned around ready to go right back in for more play and lovins from the crew. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girl.
Beyond fantastic place. Beyond fantastic staff. 6 stars should be available for Tail Waggin' Adventures. Would highly recommend for all your daycare / boarding needs. My guy can't contain himself when we pull up to drop him off. Pic for reference of how depressed he gets at the weekend when we don't bring him 😂 …
I've only used Tail Waggin for boarding. As much as I'd like to try daycare because I know my dog would love it, my experience so far does not give me the confidence that they have their ducks in a row enough for me to want to use them more. 1. The last two times I dropped off for boarding they had our information wrong. 2. One recent drop off I was reprimanded for dropping off at the "wrong time". I was dropping off Sunday in the 4-6 timeframe, because those are the hours posted on their website. Apparently those are only pickup hours, drop off is in the morning, but that was never communicated. 3. Then there's the "one family in the lobby at a time" policy. I understand the policy but if they have a plan for traffic flow that's not communicated either. Sometimes there's a line outside, sometimes anyone without a dog (I assume picking up) just walk in ahead of people waiting outside with their dogs. I'm not interested in standing outside for 20 minutes while they can't maintain a first come, first serve process.
We just picked our dog up from our first time ever boarding him. We had our worries, but of course he was perfectly happy and healthy when we picked him up. I'm unsure if they spend time reinforcing obedience, but it seemed like my 6-month-old pup came back home with an even better understanding of his commands. I was very pleased with their optional exit bath so we wouldn't have to worry about bathing him ourselves after our vacation. My favorite part is that they took photos of the dogs throughout the day and posted them on their Facebook page for owners to see(attached). It really gave me some peace of mind to see him playing well with the other dogs. They also handled the current local canine virus problem efficiently and professionally. I hope we can take him back to Tail Waggin' Adventures in the future!
Renee and her staff are AMAZING! They are so knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of training tiny dogs. My dogs love going to Tail Waggin' Adventures to learn new things. I highly recommend Renee and her staff for your dog training needs. I cannot wait for the Rally Class to start!
I have done group classes with both of my dogs(just over 1 year heeler/shepherd mix and 8 mo bully breed mix)and doggy daycare. The staff is wonderful, the trainers are professional and give excellent advice and guidance for training and connecting with your pup.
Worst place I’ve ever left my dogs. They scared my boy to the point of him actively avoiding the entrance when being dropped off. They didn’t work on his trauma to kennels before forcing him into an impact crate. I will never reccomend this place to any rescue animals. They do not take into consideration what these pets have been through prior to “working with them”. My boy has never been aggressive until they harmed him by grabbing his neck and forcing him into a situation that scared him. They told me he was doing great until he did things they were unhappy with in response to poor treatment. They didn’t give him his anxiety medicine at a proper time or by the amount I specified he needed.
I only took my puppy here for a month but he went to almost every puppy playtime and he loved it! (I'm assuming) by the end of the month he'd be pulling me into the building. We also took basic puppy training here and the trainer was very helpful and had great information. Staff was super friendly and the prices are unbeatable! Sad we had to move away. They also take photos of the dogs and post them on fb. I got the cutest photos of ny puppy from them! Thanks for everything!
Nothing but amazing things to say about Tail Waggin Adventures! Our pup Fig stayed with them while we were on vacation and we couldn’t have been more happy with her boarding there. They took great care of her and she definitely had so much fun! We loved that they post pictures of the dogs almost everyday, so we could see how she was doing! Highly recommend!
My dog Koda loves this place and always comes home tired and happy! The staff are always friendly and attentive, and I don’t feel anxious dropping my dog off with them for the day. You can check out their Facebook page where they post photos of the dogs during daycare and it’s just an added bonus. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere to drop your dog off while you work or go to class knowing they’ll be well taken care of.
Amy and her team have been fantastic to work with. We depend on Amy's for midday walks, dinner feedings and occasional overnight stays. I love the texts I get with photos from walk or play. Both dogs respond well to Amy (all animals do I think!) and others on her team. They are very professional and caring. Its worth the cost to know that the dogs will be safe, cared for and loved!
We have been using Amy’s Pet Sitting for years now. Both for vacations and daily dog visits when we are at work. They do an amazing job, are dependable and so loving towards my animals. They always give me updates no matter how short the visit and consistently go above and beyond. I have recommended them to neighbors as well and have heard nothing but good things about their care!
I have used Amys Pet Sitting service for two durations of almost one week each time. The service is outstanding. They are timely in getting back to me when checking availability. I also was lucky to have the same person stay at my home and take care of my fur babies both times. Freddy is absolutely outstanding and my fur babies love her! She also is an outstanding communicator and she keeps me informed on how the fur babies are doing while I am out of town. This gives me tremendous peace of mind that everything is good. I highly recommend Amys Pet Sitting Service if you have the need for any of their services. Kind Regards, Jamie
Amy and her team take great care of our pets whether it’s a daytime visit and walk or an overnight stay. They are thorough, reliable and easy to schedule with. They take seriously the care of the pets they are watching over. It is hard sometimes to leave your pets behind but we feel so confident and grateful knowing they are in good hands . We always get updates and know if there ever was a problem with our dogs they would be well taken care of in our absence .
Not only are my pets family, they are "special" too - which requires just the right person who can deal with the multi-page instructions I leave and be perfectly fine with it - complete understanding. Amy herself, or one of her trustworthy sitters, does a great job with my animals. I never worry because she follows all my weird instructions, has great safety and backup protocols in place - and she keeps in contact for the whole service period so I never have to wonder how my critters are or if she's been there. Look no further - but make sure to get your request for dates in as soon as you can because she's becoming quite popular and busy!
This service has been the best! I recently moved and was worried because I didn’t have my pet sitter any more. I’ve used Amy’s service for my cats 5 times since moving here a year ago. They are always friendly, send me pictures at each visit. The cats are we always well cared for!
I knew Amy was someone I trusted to care for my precious animal family the minute she came over to meet them. She spent a long time chatting with me and getting to know each animal individually. She sends me photos, videos, and written text message updates after each visit. Even my most fearful cat comes out for her and allows her to pet him and play with him. She’s a true animal lover and my animals love her so so do I!
We had daily text message reports of our dog's playing and pooping. And it was clear that Amy had played with him after his morning meal because he expected us to keep up the good behavior she'd demonstrated! Clearly he wasn't just "taken care of" but loved up, and we'll be delighted to use her excellent service the next time we leave town.
I started using Amy's Pet Sitting service on a recommendation from one of their current clients. All I can say is...what a relief! What a relief to not have to rely on friends and family to occasionally care for our dog and two cats (who may or may not have time or even want to do it, but will out of obligation ). What a relief to be able to schedule professional care online and develop a relationship with the staff and caregivers. What a relief to no longer worry if the pet sitter is actually there with our animals (photos and texts come during their visits). What a relief to be able to pay online and not leave checks laying around while we are away. What a relief to have OPTIONS for the type and length of visits. And on...and on... I am forever grateful for the recommendation and the care we get from Amy's Pet Sitting. I'd give 6 stars if I could. ;) Thank you!
We came into town for a concert and noticed last minute that we forgot our keys to lock our vehicle. Amy's Pet Sitting was called 3 hours before the show was to start, and delivered for us in a big way. The sitter was amazing, the last minute help was amazing and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Beyond 5 stars. We're indebted.
I cant recommend Snake River Four Paws enough! Cassie helped transform our high energy Labrador pup into a much better citizen. I was excited to see how quickly we saw results and how much she cared about our puppy. Their training methods are effective, kind and personalized to meet the dog’s owners needs. If you are looking for a knowledgeable patient professional, check out Snake River Four Paws! Thank you Cassie!!
Very good training facilities for dog and owner. excellent boarding when you're out of town when you can't take your best friend with you. The size and quality of the facilities is excellent.
My pups have been going to Snake River Four Paws since they were under a year old. We started with training and immediately felt so much trust in Cass and her facility so we started boarding here and there. We now go on a 2 week long vacation south to see family every year and we leave our babies with the SN4P crew and I know I have absolutely nothing to worry about! I love getting updates throughout our trip and she always seems to get the best pictures of my crazy huskies. We recommend this facility to everyone from training to boarding and everything in between. I am so happy we found this place! 🫶🏻
What a beautiful facility! The staff and other patrons are so much fun! The Agility fun day was a blast, I look forward to the next one. If wanting to train your dog is on your list of things to do, sign up with Snake River Four Paws!
Cass is simply amazing! We have done obedience classes with her and she is full of knowledge and is so helpful. You can tell she has such compassion for what she does. We have also boarded our dogs with her and they love her! Her communication is great and we love when we get pics of our pups when we are away. I’d highly recommend Snake River Four Paws for training and boarding!
Zero stars. Unfortunately I was told I could no longer attend classes at this business for reasons based on incorrect assumptions. No attempt at discussion was made after years and thousands of dollars, just a messenger notification…The whole situation was totally unfair. So sad. This situation made a huge impact on my life and really hurt. I can’t recommend someone who cares about dogs but is totally indifferent to the owner. Cassie needs to realize that especially with older clients her decisions affect not only her business, but the life of some clients. This is a small town and there are not a lot of trainers. We did nothing wrong to deserve being banned from her business. She needs to learn to communicate and make sure that her snap decisions are justified or better yet she needs to quit making snap decisions! My hope from this review is that Cassie will take more time to learn as much as possible about a situation before making a decision that so negatively affects another person’s life that was undeserved. She claims that we did not adhere to her health policy, but that is untrue. She jumped to that decision without complete and true information.
When I reached out to Snake River Four Paws , I had alot of questions. From training different breeds to cleanliness , to policies & procedures. I am very picky when it comes to immunizations & what cleaners facilities use. I have multiple pets that range from low maintenance to high maintenance. Cass & the team at Snake River Four Paws went above & beyond what I was wanting. I knew taking my dogs to Snake River Four Paws , I wouldn’t have to worry if my dogs got worms , got sick or got mistreated. I knew taking my dogs there , she wouldn’t put my dogs in a position that they would feel uncomfortable . The facility smells clean , looks clean and organized. 5 stars all around .
I’ve been regularly attending classes with my dogs at SR4P for about a year and a half. Our valley is fortunate to have someone with Cassie’s venerable experience in dog training. The classes are immensely rewarding for both my dogs as well as me. Additionally, SR4P is the only facility in the area where I feel the safety and health of my dogs is a priority.
This owner/ trainer needs to realize that her business extends beyond just training a dog. Some older people spend much of their retirement life working with their dogs. She unfairly told a customer that she no longer wanted her business. There was no discussion or clarification of the situation, she just made a snap decision and as there are no other trainers in the area it was a huge detriment to this person’s life. I wish her ego was not so fragile as to admit that she made a mistake!
The absolute best! Cassie and her team truly care about each pup that stays or trains with them. I feel completely comfortable leaving our two dog with her because I know they are well cared for and treated like family. Puppy classes and boot camp have been a game changer for our young boxer. I truly appreciate Cassie's knowledge and willingness to answer questions when I have an issue I can't solve on my own. Highly recommend Snake River Four Paws for both boarding and training.
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.
Found amazing reviews online and set up a meet and greet for our Beasty boy. Everything was so calm and organized when we walked in which blew my mind! My boy was nervous as to be expected but never seemed upset or tense. We than did a two night three day stay. Our last boarding experience had kept us from going anywhere we couldn’t bring him along. Jessica completely eased our minds about the whole process, was extremely thorough covering all the bases for needs and care. After drop off I was nervous but we got daily updates with pictures and stories and honestly my heart felt put at ease. When we picked him up he was calm!!! Previously he would be sick,shaking, just overall sick from the stress NOT THIS TIME!! He was happy to see us but he was calm and happy. I had to hug her!!! Now and forever our boys vacation spot!! I wish I could give more stars!!!
I dreaded leaving Murphy, my 11-month-old pup, for boarding while I went on a family trip. After researching, we found Jessica and I’m so pleased we did. Murphy was there for 8 days and came home healthy and exhausted from playing with all his new friends. Jessica sent me pictures and updates. She’s very in tune with each of the animals in her care. Her home and yard are clean, but still very pet friendly. Jessica is efficient and thorough with her business and necessary paperwork but loving and attentive toward the pets in her charge.
My young dog has separation anxiety. Jessie has provided daycare and boarding for her. Jessie is patient, welcoming, attentive and willing to share her advice. She has great control over all of the dogs and they respect her and her house. It is a clean, calm, and inviting place for people and dogs alike. I do not have to worry about my dog being anxious in her care, which is great peace of mind. Thanks so much!
Jessica's home was a great boarding destination for my dog! She was extremely responsive with any questions I posed and gave daily updates. It was an engaging environment for my dog, Barley, and Barley seems to have enjoyed her time (though I'm not a dog psychic).
Jess is amazing with my dogs. She is very personable and professional. I love her home atmosphere and how much love and attention she gives her clients( two legged and four).
We recently went on vacation and for the first time, our friends/neighbors were not able to care for our dogs. Our older guy, Buddy has never been in a kennel and has very high anxiety. I was so stressed about who was going to take care of them, that I had a difficult time getting excited about our trip. I found a business card for Ponderosa Patty that I got a year ago from our vet, and called her. It was short notice but she was very accommodating and eager to assist. We dropped them off the night before and she and her husband took time to talk with us so we could get to know them, their routine and to be comfortable. We had given Buddy anxiety medication and instructed Patty to give it to him when the shaking started. She constantly sent me pictures of Buddy happy and our other dog Sammy, going for walks, tails wagging. Riding in cars on her husband's lap, laying on them sleeping in their home, etc. Buddy NEVER had to have anxiety meds! They are very calm and loving with the animals and the animals knew it. I am so happy to have found Patty and will happily call her next time we need her. Thank you Patty for giving our dogs so much love and comfort and easing OUR anxieties!
We have taken several trips and have left the care of our dogs, parakeets, and home to Spokane's Best Pet Sitter. Patty is a most professional, trustworthy, and dependable individual who has shown a sincere interest and care for our pets. We received photos almost daily along with any questions or concerns related to our time away. We go away with complete peace of mind and confidence that everything will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend her services.
“Ponderosa Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”
Patty is the best! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was feeling a little anxious about leaving the fur babies while I was away for longer periods of time. She sent me updates/pictures every day and from our first meeting, I could tell she was reliable and an animal lover. I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and feel at peace knowing she’s taking care of my kitties. She is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found her!
A million stars ⭐️! Patty is so trustworthy and loving to my pups! I feel lucky 🍀 that my pups have her when I’m gone. She spoils them and sends me updates everyday❤️ thank you Patty for your care and attention to my dogs and home. I hope you know how amazing and appreciated you are 💕⭐️🙌. …
The name is correct, Patty is the BEST pet sitter in Spokane!! My entire family recently went on vacation together so this was the first time I've ever had to use a pet sitter for my cats and looking for someone on the internet can be scary and daunting. I am SO glad I found Patty! She took such great care of our cats and made sure that even our shy one got some love too. I am SO thankful to have found her, it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of! Will forever recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!
“We have used Ponderosa Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”
Ponderosa Patty has been so great watching our cat Binx the two times we have used her!! She sends pictures every visit so you can see that your pet is being well taken care of!! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for our future trips!!
Patty took excellent care of my pup while we were away. She gave regular updates and took extra care to make sure our nervous doggo felt comfortable around her. We will be booking her again for future trips.
Patty was wonderful with my 2 kitties. She accommodated the special needs of the one that is 16. I loved that she sent me pictures and texts each day to keep me informed. She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I think her price is very fair for the services she provides which included giving medication to my old girl. Would give her more stars if I could. I know I can travel now with confidence when Patty is taking care of my kitties.
Tammy and her crew do an amazing job of taking care of my two GSPs every time they are boarded there! The schedule, play time, and attention are top notch!
I went with my friend to board his dog. The facilities were clean and staff were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Tammy's heart is truly in this for your pets. We left our three dogs here for a week while my husband and I went out of town and we couldn't have felt more comfortable about it. She texted us updates while we were away and assured us they were doing great to ease our minds. The dogs came home absolutely exhausted so I know they had a great time! Her prices are reasonable for the care and compassion she provides. Her kennel is so beautiful and clean! I can't recommend her enough!!!
Lodge is right!!! Our dogs love this place and we love it even more! Exceptional care and complete understanding of our naughty beagle! Love, LOVE, LOVE this place. It is so nice to leave our dogs in the care of people that treat them like family! 10-Stars if I could!
This was Kona’s first stay at Silver Paws and we couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. Tammy is great and I really appreciate knowing that we don’t have to worry about how Kona is doing. I texted to check on her a couple of times and Tammy sent pictures. Silver Paws will definitely be our new go to.
Would highly recommend. We went out of state for a week and we were perfectly comfortable. Owner makes this business friendly, knowledgeable, and affordable. After touring the place and meeting her we had no doubts. We worth looking into to!
We Boarded our Boxer and we could not be more impressed with the facilities, and the staff. Kept us informed and sent pics of our dog playing with other animals!!!
This place is the best. Our dog loves it and has a blast. It is like sleep away camp for him.
The best in the LC area!
