Dog Sitters in Kangley, WA

Cristina at Doggie Days is amazing and I fully trust her and everyone at Doggie Days NW to take care of our pup. We have never felt so confident or happy with sending our dog somewhere. It makes ALL the difference. We are SO happy and grateful for this place!!!

I use daycare and boarding here, and my dog absolutely LOVES it. A well run family business that truly cares about the dogs. Mary and Teresa provide a friendly and safe environment. I highly recommend them.

We absolutely love Doggie Days NW! Our dog has a wonderful time and it is great knowing our dog is safe and caring hands. Highly recommend their daycare and boarding services!

Christina and crew are awesome! They provide updates and photos and really put our mind at ease knowing our pups are well cared for when traveling.

Great experience so far🥰 …

Our dog had a splendid time at Doggie Days when he stayed for a week. He was well cared for and couldn't decide of he wanted to stay ans play or go home and sleep when we picked him up!

Such a perfect place. You’ll feel very comfortable.leaving your fur baby with Owner, Mary. She is so kind and loves all her pups!

Just a short stay for our Golden Retriever, and it was very professional and caring. Would use them again. They are nice people, too!

My doggies were well taken care of. Christina is great!

Great place for your dog. Kennels are clean and the dogs have ample space to run.

We LOVE Unleashed. Listen… go through the process of getting your pup in their system and then enjoy the use of dog daycare or boarding at your convenience. They have great availability, their system is easy to navigate and they CARE. We receive pictures of our pup while she’s away. She wiggles her entire body and leaps from the car when we drop her off. She loves the team here and we do too!

Our dog LOVES unleashed. He never wants to come home. When we do get him home, he is usually so tired he naps half of the following day because he played so hard.

We absolutely loved our first class at WSWD. Our trainers were excellent and they were very patient and helpful with getting our rescue dog used to new things and to learn new skills. We can’t wait to come back for our next class!

Excellent Tricks class with Skye. Both my pup and I had fun and learned new things. The tricks will be great entertainment when we are stuck inside during the cold, rainy winter months. Thank you!

Skye graciously created new tricks for Dot to work on and she was all over them while soaking up attention from Skye. This is why we'll keep going to Wonder Dogs. THANK YOU!!

CANNOT RECOMMEND. I boarded my dog with Unleashed for a 5 night and 1 day camp stay. When I dropped my dog off I informed the staff that I sent along double her usual food (knowing she'd be running like crazy) and asked if it was okay to put her in a jacket when it's below freezing (which it was in the mornings and evenings). I was told that her weight would be monitored regularly, they'd adjust her feeding accordingly, and that it wasn't a problem with the jacket. When I picked my dog up at the facility she was in her jacket, so it wasn't until I got her home that I noticed she was down 5lbs (10% of her body weight - her ribs were showing), she had very infected abrasions/hot spots on both of her front legs, and she had a puncture wound in her upper lip. All this culminated in an immediate trip to the vet where she had to be put on antibiotics, pain meds, and in an e-collar for two weeks. None of these issues were mentioned by the staff and her "report card" was all high marks, so I can only infer one of two things happened: 1) none of this was noticed by the staff, indicating a high degree of negligence, or 2) it was noticed and was intentionally omitted by the staff, indicating a high degree of apathy and/or deceit. For the kicker, I made my feedback/concerns known by submitting a message through their client portal - it's been a week and I have not received any acknowledgment or apology for how my dog faired under their care. Given their ignorance of both their obligation to their clients' dogs' wellbeing and to their lack of acknowledgment of their clients' feedback, I cannot recommend Unleashed.

I love the class size and the attention to each dog’s needs. And I love that he’s so chill for the rest of the night after play time!

Unleashed has been a life saver for our Doberman pup! The prices are super reasonable for what they provide and you can tell they truly care. Banks comes home tired for DAYS and this is a hyperactive dog we are talking about. Mathias is amazing with training and Banks absolutely loves seeing him during pick up. We truly can’t thank everyone at unleashed enough! Highly recommend!

I really appreciate the transparency here. I’ve never had a tour of a doggy daycare until this place. The staff give you actual updates on your pup and their progress adjusting to the facility. They truly care.

I’ve been boarding my 45 lb Australian Cattle Dog/boxer/pit mix here for almost six years (and for occasional daycare). He has separation anxiety and cannot be put in a kennel/crate/run. The folks who work here take such good care of him and he is so excited when we pull up. I’m so grateful that I found a place that he loves!

Michelle has been taking care of my dog when I go out of town for a couple of years now. I always have full confidence that he will be well taken care of with Michelle. She’ll always be the first I call, Moe wouldn’t have it any other way!

Horton's House has it all. Excellent, experienced training & care givers all at an outstanding home-like doggie retreat. The Horton's House crew is skilled and accommodating. Best place for our best friends for extra play time and when we travel.

Best dog boarding experience we have had. They are very good with our dogs and treat them as family. Dogs get plenty of love, attention, exercise and playtime with other dogs. They communicate often on how the dogs are doing and they are constantly sharing pictures. They did great with our high maintenance COVID chiweenie pup. She is used to tons of attention. Our golden retriever was happy and well cared for. Great experience!

Our high-maintenance "Covid Puppy" is so lucky to have friends at Horton's House and his humans are so lucky to have Michelle's patience and guidance!

Pretty awful to do this in your work van. Everyone knows what kind of people you are. These people of Horton's park in between two handicapped parking spots in Fairwood shopping center by Bartells. Don't even care that the handicapped people in those vehicles couldnt get out or into their cars due to blocking. Dont park on the white stripes between handicapped parking stalls!!!!!

When someone who takes care of your 4 legged child loves him as much as I do what else do I need to say. Our dog Tex loves it there and it is a fabulous facility.

Most wonderful place to board you pet.

House is a disaster, kennel part is decent though.

They are really nice people

We love Janice's Critter Care! We've used them several times to take care of out cats while we were away on longer trips. They take excellent care of our cats and promptly reply if we ask for an update.

We started to use Janice’s Critter Care when we moved to Federal Way in 2019 to care for our cat. The peace of mind that her team provides while we are away is most wonderful. Her communication, responsive, and loving care she provides is beyond amazing. This past December we went away when a snow storm arrived and she kept us in the loop on conditions and still made it to see our diabetic cat. Even when the road wasn’t plowed and had to walk to get down to her house, she still made our cat and his health a priority. We are beyond grateful for her dedicated care and services. I highly recommend Janice’s service!!

We have been using Janice's Critter Care since we moved to Federal Way earlier this year. Janice is very responsive and flexible with our changing schedules. Christine always takes excellent care of our pup and makes sure he gets long walks while we are at work. We have had poor experiences with Rover in the past so we were thrilled to find this company. We trust Janice's Critter Care 100%.

Thank goodness for Janice’s Critter Care! This family business has been part of our family for the past few years taking care of our Goldadore Lucky. This team is trustworthy. They have excellent knowledge about animals and they are genuinely good people. We would not trust our dog with anyone else. Our dog loves Janice’s Critter Care and she is very happy whenever she sees them.

Janice is extremely reliable, always willing to work with my requests.we had to be gone for a week, I had 4 cats, (one diabetic requiring shots in am/pm) and an aquatic turtle. I had notes on everyday, they were willing to continue services if needed. The cost of the service very reasonable. I would highly recommend Janice’s Critter Care! I trust them and wouldn’t ever use anyone else!!

Janice and Tim are top notch! We have trusted them with our 2 dogs and entry into our private home for years. They are also great communicators with respect to anything they see during their visit. And they are extremely flexible with our ever-changing schedules. We highly recommend Janice's Critter Care!!

I have known & worked with Janice for over 10 years. Her knowledge & Love for animals can compare to no other. She is highly respected in the community as the Leader in Pet care around the South King Co. area.You get a peace of mind knowing Janices is taking good care of your Pet!! I Can honestly recommend Janice's Critter Care as the Very Best in our area. Reasonably Priced...150% Dedicated to animals...🐾 sincerely Elizabeth Jessie

This company is very personal and professional when it comes to onboarding and caring for furry loved ones. My pupper loved his carer and I'm so happy we went with them!! They left notes after their visits, and were very thorough when taking care of my old boy. I will absolutely be using them again and recommending them at every turn.

Filled out the contact form to get an email saying they aren't taking any new clients since September 2023. Why is there no mention of that on the website? Why are you still advertising?

Tim & Janice have been watching our pets for 10 years now. They not only take care of feeding & exercising our dogs (mostly Newfoundlands, but we got a Rottie mix last year to add something new!), they bring in the mail and check the houseplants to see if they need water. Even better, they are able to look after our chickens when we are gone; managing their food, water and treats and giving them a little time and human conversation while gathering eggs. Our four hens are my "Birds with Benefits" and I would not trust them alone or with someone who would scare them and cause them to stop laying those delicious eggs. No one else has come close to the excellent services provided by Janice's Critter Care! Doug & Cathy

Our two pups LOVE going to daycare. The staff is great and always attentive to the pups. We have used their boarding services and our dogs highly enjoy their stay. Pricing is reasonable and there is a discount after one dog. They also do packages of socks daycare. For those dogs that may not do so well with others, they also offer non-social daycare. One of my favorite things is that they also have a groomer which is super convenient and easy to book with.

Everyone has been really sweet and welcoming. My pup loves paws n pals, he seems to really enjoy going and comes home happy! The pricing is really reasonable. And the hours are flexible and they have weekends. Love the pictures they post. Natalia and Cheyenne are particularly good with him, they’re so sweet and loving toward my pup! The downside is that there is no online booking, so you always have to call or email, they don’t save your card on file so you have to check out each time. But overall we’re really loving this dog daycare! I’m a happy dog mom knowing he’s in very good hands.

I highly recommend Paws n Pals for daycare and boarding of your pup. For me, the location is supper convenient to my place of work in Kent and all of the staff has been wonderful. My dog is a high energy husky/German Shepard mix. He loves going here and is zonked afterwords, he sleeps on the car ride home.

I picked up my dogs from daycare and they had great things to say about the dogs. When I got home and was able to take a look at one of them more closely she had many nasty looking sores on her body. I was upset and emailed the manager who assured me they would look into it. Eventually they decided it was caused by her low mobility (which is possible) but still, why not bring this up with me during pickup? It's as if it happened and was ignored. It doesn't tell me if the sores were attended to or monitored during her extended stay. Not going back, in her 8 years with me she has never developed a sore of any kind. Makes me wonder what happens here.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Paws n Pals for their exceptional care of our husky during her overnight stay in Seattle, followed by their awesome coordination with Delta Cargo to prepare her for her next flight. As we arrived from our international flight, Veronica kindly met us curbside to make the pick up process so easy. Our husky had broken her water bowl on the previous flight. Paws n Pals, however, went above and beyond, ensuring that she had a replacement bowl and even pampering her with a cozy bed in her kennel. The thoughtful attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Throughout the entire process, Veronica thoughtfully kept us connected, sharing so many pictures from the moment they picked up our husky until the final check-in with Delta. We are genuinely grateful for the amazing service provided by Paws n Pals. It is evident that our girl was showered with love and attention, making her journey all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough positive things about Paws and Pals Dog Day Care! From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew my furry companion was in the best hands possible. They truly go above and beyond to create a safe and enjoyable environment for our four-legged friends. The staff at Paws and Pals is exceptional. They greet each dog with genuine warmth and affection, making them feel instantly at ease.

Best place to take your dog and feel 100% carefree about it. They love your animals as much as you do!!!

My dog boarded for 19 days. She was to be groomed at the end of her stay. However, about 2 days in, we realized the weather would be hot and asked that she be groomed that week. Fast forward to picking her up... she is not groomed. My dog literally looked homeless. She was wet, dirty, and so stink. I asked how could they allow her to be like this in this heat? She could barely see. They accused us of picking her up early until my husband showed them the email. We would have paid for another grooming. How could they let our dog be like this for 19 days? She must have been so miserable. All they could do was apologize and give a 10% discount for future grooming... no no NO. You all didn't care about our dog. Truly disappointed and will never ever leave my dog with them or any other boarder ever again!

Trust them with your pets! After a last minute change to my original plans, Brett went out of his way to help, accommodate, and care for my two dogs on their layover. They answered calls when nobody else would, made me feel at ease with his genuine interest in taking care of my dogs and was willing to work with a unique situation I was in, to get my dogs home. I will recommend them to anyone who has dogs traveling through the Seattle area.

I used Paws n Pals airport service to board my dog during his overnight layover. Veronica with VB Transport Services picked him up for his overnight stay and brought him back for his next flight all while giving me pictures and frequent updates over text. Everyone involved made the stressful experience of flying a pet so much more manageable and less concerning. I couldn’t recommend this company and their services enough.

Theresa and Charlie are the best. We bring our Corgi there once a week and she looks forward to it. She really gets excited when she arrives. Buffy is everything to us and we know she is in caring hands when she is there. They vet all the pups before letting them join the pack. Big outdoor area with swimming pools for the pups. Truly the best ever. Cheers,

We love this boarding/daycare! The owners are thoughtful and amazing. My dog comes home clean, tired and not stressed at all. Thank you!

Incredibly great place! We and our labrador love to come there! The owners are amazing people!

Our dog loves this place! We have been going for over a month now, and our dog has learned daycare days. He gets excited in the morning to go, and grabs his leash. The owners are fantastic, great genuine people, treat them like their own.

Amazing place and staff. The owners and the staff truly love what they do and 100% care about the dogs. I've worked at a few daycares and no other daycare has cared about the safety of the dogs and is as strict about what dogs are let in. It really is all about the dogs and not the money with this couple. That's rare. I would trust them with my dogs 100%.

LPC boarded my dog (and she had never been boarded and is 6 years old) with love, great care, and kept me apprised of her well-being while I was overseas for 7 days. It is the first time that I have ever felt 100% at ease while boarding a dog. The owners and their staff are top notch at what they do (taking care of dogs) and the facility is 5-star. My dog was with the "medium sized, lower key, dogs" which was a perfect fit for her. My dog did need some extra "love and attention" and LPC owners made sure she got it! LPC is the BEST dog boarding facility I have ever used.

Love this place and love the owners. My dog enjoys his daycare experience there very much. The facility is very clean and welcoming. The dogs get lots of room to run around and be silly.

My mini Aussie loves playing at LPC! Theresa and Charles love their daycare dogs and give them a great workout each day. They even give them a rinse after a hard day of playing outside.

Our chocolate lab loves staying here. Always comes back happy and tired. We've used them for years now and it's always been a great experience!

Pet Concierge is awesome. They have a great setup for the dogs with room to run. The owners are excellent and they truly care for the dogs. Highly recommend!

We were out of town when our pet sitter experienced a family emergency which left us scrambling to find someone to watch over our cats. I called frolic and explained the situation. We set up an interview call immediately and was guided through the process with ease. Molly and Alexis came by in the evening and took excellent care of our cats by giving them tons of love and playtime. They really showed a deep love for the well being of our pets. Prices are reasonable, reports are thorough and service is excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Frolic to anyone.

What a fantastic experience! The team at Frolic took exceptional care of all of us, from first contact to the last tummy rub. Professional, friendly staff along with detailed reviews and pictures made our first week of dog walking so easy. We had a snafu with our elevator and the dog walker was responsible and flexible - really amazing. 🤩 My two fur babies had a great time, so glad I found this company!!

We used frolic for the first time last weekend and were very happy with the care our pets received! We were very apprehensive about using a dog sitter but we are very glad that we were able to find a reliable and professional service. Everyone was fantastic and customer service was friendly and easy. Justin and Dylan were so sweet with our boys and we greatly appreciate the effort they took to play with them, clean up the backyard, and bring in packages. Also, detailed daily reports and pictures of our babies. We will definitely be using them again! Thanks again!

Frolic Pet Services is fantastic. I've used them on trips out of town to help keep my pet family well cared for and they've done excellent. They took pictures daily, communicated well throughout the whole process, and honestly just went above and beyond. I will most certainly use their service again.

I usually have terrible panic attacks and anxiety leaving my cats, one of whom needs insulin injections 2x a day, when I've gone away to visit my elderly father. I usually set up a kitty cam and check it rather obsessively while I'm gone. Since I found Frolic Pets, it's a whole different feeling! I don't even need the anxiety medication I usually take when traveling! They give you updates each visit on their super convenient pet portal. Really detailed and thorough notes on everything that they did or noticed. They even attach pictures of your pets from each visit and they respond immediately to any inquiries. Their staff are kind, competent and really care about your furry family members. I asked a friend to stop by my apartment mid-day in addition to Frolic Pet's visits the first time I used them. I didn't even bother my friends the next two times I hired them. I felt 1000% confidence in their staff's care and dedication to my cats specifically. I swear my home was even more clean after their visits than I usually leave it! They're absolutely amazing. You won't ever worry about your beloved pets when you travel again!

We just used Frolic for the 1st time for our 2 cats. I was a little anxious leaving them for 2 weeks with a new sitter, especially as one of my cats requires medication twice a day. We had 3 different sitters take care of the cats, and after each visit, we received a detailed report of medications dispensed and care given, plus numerous photos. The sitters exceeded my expectations, even taking the trash out (we didn't ask that this be done). I would definitely use them again!

Our neighbors use Froloc pet services, and we've watched the employees walk and interact with the neighbors dog and they do an amazing job. But, we see this one employee walk the dog, and I've never seen so much love and compassion. That guy absolutely adores this dog like it's his own, and always taking great pictures of the dog, even getting on the ground for the perfect pic. We've noticed this for over a year. I finally told him today how great we thought he was with the dog. I think his name was Thomas and the house (area)is located on 7th in Puyallup. That man deserves a raise for going above and beyond.

My pup gets anxious and isn't super great socially with other dogs, but I know I can rely on Carol and Frolic staff to ensure that she is safe and taken care of when I need it. They took great care of her when I couldn't after my double jaw surgery. I even talked over surgery options with owner Carol before going through with knee surgery for my aging pup, she is so knowledgeable and wants the best for all the pets she/and Frolic cares for. The daily pet reports while boarding puts the minds of my kids, my husband, and I at ease when we have to be away from our canine baby. Staff always write the nicest things about our pup. We will drive out of our way to make sure our pup can be cared for there (even after we moved to Eastern Washington) because of the quality of care we know she recieves.

I use Frolic for walking my dog. They are very professional and have come across as trustworthy and knowledgeable. Every time they walk him I get an email with pictures and status of if he peed or had a BM, if anything unusual happened, anything you can think of they give me a status of. Their app is easy to use to schedule walks and the price is comparable to Rover but without the stress of potentially cancelling. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a walker (they have other services but I have not used them).

DO NOT BOARD HERE! Has gone downhill! Beware of hidden boarding fees! I first contacted Frolic a few years ago upon moving to WA as Frolic seemed like a great option as they were close, with a flexible schedule, and a large number of staff. Dog walking seemed to go pretty well, and they also offered boarding services, which for our first few vacations, worked great. Recently I had my dogs stay with Frolic while my wife and I were on vacation and expected things to go as well as usual. To my surprise I received a message from Frolic On the first day of boarding that I would be charged a extra fee for one of my dogs barking....um, you own a dog business? Why am I being charged for a dog being a dog? I was also charged because Frolic insisted they knew better than me when it came to medicating my senior dog, I had specified proper dosage three times by the time the our vacation was over, and the owner suggested she knew better, and charged me for over-medicating my dog despite repeatedly telling them to stop. Luckily, an overdose for my dog isn’t fatal, but for yours it could be! As the staff and the business owner will not listen to the dog parent when it comes to dosing instructions. By the time all was said and done, we could’ve boarded a third dog for what we paid in hidden fees, which is outrageous because Frolic already charges more than an animal hospital with 24/7 care. Also, these extras are subjective, and therefore non-negotiable. I was of course I was not told about these extra fees until Frolic already had my dogs. Beware, if you care about your pets, please avoid this place at all costs.

Our chocolate lab loves it here! We take him to daycare weekly, and he’s always extremely excited to go to “school.” Our pooch comes home tired (but contented) after romping with his pals and roaming the yard. We also feel very comfortable boarding him for extended periods of time, and the owners were very accommodating when we needed to travel out of state for a family emergency. The owners know all the dogs’ individual personalities, and they care for them like their own. They genuinely love dogs and I appreciate their practical, common-sense, and cage-free approach. I’m very grateful to Hobo Dog Haven for being our dog’s home away from home!

We left a Dutch Shepherd and 14 yr old Shepherd Doberman here for a weekend. They clearly had a wonderful time playing with other dogs and were so happy . They were looked after with great care. There was plenty of shade and AC. I recommend this place, and owners of dogs can be assured of capable care and special instructions from the dog owners followed carefully by the Hobo Kennel owners.

My 8 year old German Shepherd, Emma, has had some incidences of fear aggression with other dogs in the past, so I was very nervous about leaving her here. We did a half-day trial, and Betsy introduced her to the other dogs slowly. Emma did great. Betsy was sure she would be fine, so we left her for five days while we were away. When we got back, Emma was relaxed, happy and hanging out with the other dogs like it was the most normal thing in the world! I was amazed. Last week we took her to a dog park where there were 11 other dogs, and she greeted them easily with a wagging tail. It's like I have a different dog. I am so pleased. Betsy at Hobo Dog Haven understands dog behavior and can read their body language. I trust her judgment. This was a very positive experience, and we will definitely use Hobo Dog Haven again. It's so much less stressful than a kennel for anxious dogs.

This place is amazing! Very reasonable rates for both daycare and boarding! Our dog started going here when she was old enough to play with other dogs.. We have had very little behavior issues because she is able to get her puppy energy out! I always thought it pretentious to take the dog to daycare, but it helps immensely for bigger dogs and getting that energy out...This I strongly believe has made easier training and cutting out bad behaviors due to boredom...

This place should be named Hobodog Heaven. I originally brought my dog here for week-day dog care, but I have begun to use them for weekends and overnight if we are on a trip where the dog can't go. Our dog Shadow is a member of our family and truly spoiled at home. She receives the same care and attention at Hobodog Haven, the same as if she were with us. So the lawn (field) isn't mowed; so the maintenance is not on par with a sub-division looking home. Your dog DOESN'T CARE. All she really needs is a friendly caretaker, a place to play and romp with the other dogs, meals, and a cozy place to crash after play-time. She gets that and more. The owners Doug & Betsy care about your pet; they are in-tune with how they feel that day and watch over them all as if they were their own. Slightly shabby chic? Trust me, your dog doesn't care, and neither will you if you try them out. Prices are more than fair - about half what I paid in Puyallup. If you want sterile dog kennels and higher prices there are plenty of places to take your dog. If you want a happy, tired, well cared for dog upon your return, go to Hobodog.

My dog loves this place. She gets to play, run in & out, sleep where she wants, and gets plenty of attention. Owner Betsy even let her sleep on the bed one day because the dog seemed "a little tired". Just like home to her. Forget the negative reviews. The price is the best you will find, the care is top-notch and my dog is not in a kennel. Plenty of places like that around that are sterile and impersonal, very few like Hobodog Haven.

We boarded our dog, Eli, for a couple of days. They took great care of him despite him being nervous. It is obvious that they love dogs! They commented on a couple of mannerisms of my pom. It shows an attention to detail and love of animals. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thanks again for taking good care of Eli!

Wow! I read the review by Michael and I have to say I'm absolutely astonished by its' content. My name Is Jim Sequist and I live in Pierce county. I have two dogs, an 11 year old Chocolate Lab (Chase) and a three year old white medium sized dog with black and brown spots.(Cody) My wife and I love our dogs like the family members they are. We have been leaving Chase in the care of Hobodog Haven for as many years as they have been in business. The first time we left Chase there he almost couldn't contain his excitement at seeing and hearing the other dogs. He seemed to be telling us at first glance that he was very happy to be there. Please keep in mind that we were anxious about leaving him anywhere because he, at the time had severe separation anxiety whenever we left him anywhere, even at home alone. After going over Chase's feeding requirements and any other particulars about him with Doug, we thought we were in for a dramatic display of "Mommy, Daddy please don't go!!!. In reality, when we said goodbye to Chase, he didn't even want to stop playing long enough to get his ears scratched and petted. If he could have talked I imagine he would have said something like "see ya, don'y hurry back. I'll be just fine here". We were gone for about a week and when we came to get him he was glad enough to see us to take about 5 seconds to greet us before going back to his buddies. As we were leaving he whined and cried and kept looking back to see the guys. He didn't want to leave. It was several months before we needed to leave chase for a second time. As we pulled into the driveway, he got more and more excited and when the house came into view he began barking as if to say " hey fellas, I'm back. He couldn't wait to get out of the truck. This behavior on his part has been repeated every time we take him back there. We have to go out of town soon so we brought both Chase and Cody in to meet Doug and Patsy. Again Chase recognized his favorite "doggie resort" and Cody was as excited to be there as Chase ever was. We feel very good about leaving our boys in Doug's' and Patsy's care. I can't imagine even considering leaving them anywhere else as long as we live in the area. I hope Michael will read this and re-think his decision to never leave his dog there. Yes, it is true that the property is rather rustic. No manicured lawns or expensive landscaping, but there are multiple fenced in areas where the dogs can run and play. There are secure areas that have trails through the woods around the house where, in Doug's words, the dogs can run around and pretend that they are "ferocious woods beasties". This is a wonderful alternative to most other dog boarding facilities and it should be remembered that the place is set up to be comfortable and enjoyable for dogs not humans. It would be a real shame for someone to read such a negative review such as the one I have referred to and have their pet miss out on a wonderful experience with other pups. Big kudos to Hobodog Haven and to Doug and Patsy for their fore-site in providing such a great place for dogs.

This place scares me. I stopped by to check it out while looking for a place to board my rottweiler. I brought my dog with me to show him around. The person working there let us into a fenced off area just outside of the building the dogs stay in. Outside the place seemed decent like the dogs have room to run around and play. I asked if I could look at the inside and they said no. I asked why, and they said they couldn't in case one of the dogs were to bite me or my dog. They tried to assure me that it wouldn't happen... but I simply can't leave my dog somewhere where they won't let me see the place that my dog is to stay at. For all I know it's poop and urine encrusted on the inside. To be honest the place looked like it needed some serious maintenance. While driving in you can tell that the yard rarely has any up keeping done on it which is a sign to me of a place I don't want my dog staying. I wouldn't suggest anyone ever leave their dog here. edit 12/21/2013 - After reviewing the owner's response I hope people can see how silly they are. Any other place will gladly allow potential dog owners to see where their dog will be staying. The owners of hobodog are going to great lengths to prevent that from happening which only shows they have something to hide. I suppose this would be a great place to leave your dog if you don't care about them at all. I have chosen to take my dog to Happy Tails in Enumclaw. Over two years of occasional work travel I can honestly say Zeus loves Happy Tails.

I took my 10 month old puppy to stay at hobo dog haven over the weekend. He came home with a bite mark across his nose and cuts on his nose and under his eye. He was also limping and lethargic. He is a sweet and non-aggressive dog. When he first came home, he was also ravenously hungry and thirsty. I am so upset he was not properly supervised. I will never take my dog back here.
