Dog Sitters in Orchards, WA

Jane has done drop-in visits for my two cats when I’m away for about a year now and I cannot say enough good things about her. She has gone above and beyond at every visit from learning how to administer eye drops to my cat to bringing in delivered packages from the front door. She is so caring and her love for animals shows at every visit. One of my cats has high anxiety and doesn’t like most people. Jane has learned to care for him while acknowledging his anxiety and sensitive personality. I’ve never felt so free to travel without worry of my pets at home. I highly recommend Jane to anyone looking for care for their animals when they are away!

Jane always takes such good care of our animals, making sure our dog has everything he needs on his walks and giving our cats lots of love. Very professional and caring!

We had the pleasure of having Jane from Preferred Pet Sitting take care of our beloved birds for a week, and I cannot praise her enough for the outstanding care she provided. From our first interaction, Jane was not only professional but also genuinely caring towards our pets. She took the time to understand their routines, preferences, and needs to ensure they were comfortable and well-cared for in our absence. Jane’s attention to detail was impeccable; she kept us updated with daily texts and photos, which brought us great peace of mind. It was evident from these updates that she went above and beyond in her duties, engaging our birds and ensuring their environment was clean and enriching. We wholeheartedly recommend Jane to any pet owner looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled pet sitter.

You will not find a better sitter than Jane! She is reliable, professional, and most important, good with the animals. I appreciate that she reports out the visit and includes pictures of their time together. My chihuahua warmed up to her immediately and loves his cuddle time on the couch with her. She makes us feel like our animals are the only ones in the world; she treats them like family. We consider HER family. Simply the best in town!!

Jane at Preferred Pet Sitting is a top tier pet sitter. No matter what type of pet I've added to my menagerie, I know she'll take care to understand and meet their needs. She sends thoughtful updates which helps me (an anxious pet "mom") feel secure knowing that my little guys are in good hands. 😊 I would recommend Preferred Pet Sitting to anyone looking for really loving and responsible care for their pets.

Jane has done drop in visits for my cat on several of my vacations. She takes great care of my feisty cat, who looks forward to her visits. I also love having someone check on my house daily. I highly recommend this service.

Jane is such an excellent cat sitter. It’s hard to find people that are so good with cats specifically. Our cat is clearly in a good mood after we get home.

Susie's is absolutely amazing! Our Kono loves it there! Everyone there is so sweet and take such wonderful care of our little princess. Drop off and pick up is easy and smooth. She was excited to see us but didn't want to leave either! I highly recommend Susie's I'd give a 10 if I could!

I'd never boarded my dogs before. I always had house sitters. I tried Susie's and I was pleased. My dogs seemed happy when I picked them up and didn't smell. When I took them back the second time they seemed happy to be there, so obviously no hard feelings from before. The folks were easy to work with and the check in, check out process was smooth. Nice job folks!

I was helping friends while they were on vacation in Greece. I had to pick up and drop off Barnum, their dog, several times. The staff that work here are so wonderful. You can tell right away how much they love all the pets. I would definitely recommend Susie's and if I had a pet I would not take it anywhere else. You guys are the best.

If I were a dog, I would want my owner to board me at Susie's. Joking aside, I've used Susie's to look after my 3 dogs many times over the last couple of years and have had a consistently excellent experience. I have no doubt how much the people who work there love animals, it shows, and it gives me total peace of mind leaving my boys with them. Additionally, they are wonderful people, kind and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough.

This is the only boarding facility where I wasn’t worried about the well-being of my 3 pups while I was away. Adorable and thought setup. Friendly owner. Extra clean facility. Fair prices. The only kennel we’ll use in Vancouver. Make sure you book early- they are popular and space is hard to come by!

Greatest place and group of folks in the world. If you want a great safe place for your pet to stay at look no further! Absolutely love this place. Suzie, Bobby and Sarah are awesome!

Love Susie's. The dogs are always pleased to go and they seem to take good care of them.

This place deserves all of the awards it can get. And so do the people. I’ll never take my dog anywhere else. Susie’s Country Inn is amazing.

I NEVER leave my dog! However I had to board him for several days & I'm so fortunate a friend told me about Susie's. Welcoming, clean, wonderful staff, excellent care of my baby and reasonably priced. Years ago I had a bad experience leaving my dog so I am very critical of any facility. Susie's ticks all the boxes. You can safely entrust your fur baby to their care.

Susie is a fantastic trainer and she runs an excellent, clean facility that cares about you and your dogs. We have had to leave town fairly frequently and Susie has been dependable, her staff is friendly, the drop-off process is thoughtful and clear. I can't say enough about the facility itself; it has a great vibe. It's welcoming and professional. I know my pets are safe. We feel so very fortunate to have Susie and her team to care for our pets when life takes us out of town. Would recommend, thank you.

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!

Windy and her team helped us with our puppy for the entire first year. They started off walking her twice a day and then to once a day. They update you with heart melting pictures so I could show them off to my colleagues. They carried over all the leash training and immediately notified us if anything seemed odd. We couldn't have done the first year without them. And our puppy loved every minute of it. I definitely recommend their services.

I was very anxious about going on a planned vacation due to my 18 year old cat who is on many meds when my neighbor recommended Windy. Windy was so calm and asked just the right questions when I met her that I felt a huge sense of relief. During my vacation she regularly sent updates and photos and did such a great job with both of my cats. I highly recommend her company!

We recently moved from the Portland area and are sincerely going to miss BellyRub Pet Services! Our nearly two years of experience with Windy has been nothing short of perfect. Traveling can be stressful, but knowing our cat was in such good care made things easier on us all (including our cat). At the start of receiving BellyRub Pet Services, Windy arranged a meet and greet with us and our cat. This was a fantastic way to become acquainted with Windy and our first indication of her professionalism as well as experience. Windy was always very flexible and willing to provide care on extremely short notice. She always sent us updates and pictures of our cat for each visit, which was great peace of mind. We would highly recommend BellyRub for all pet services—the care is fantastic and Windy's cooperation is equally as great. Windy, you will be hard to replace! Thanks for providing such wonderful care!

Windy is extremely professional and reliable, and has assisted our two dogs with walks for several years now. She has adapted to our changing circumstances, and welcomes new challenges with understanding and kindness. When my daughter was born and we unexpectedly had to stay in the NICU for several days, Windy stepped up to make sure our two dogs at home got their walks and food (and of course belly rubs) while we were away, which allowed us to focus on our new arrival until she got the care she needed. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Windy!

I've been a client of BellyRub for nearly two years, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the kindest, most reliable, friendly, and affordable pet care. I have a shy and very sweet cat that needed sitting whenever I traveled, both for weekends away, as well as up to two week trips, and BellyRubs always provided the best care. The owner, who provided my cat care each and every time, understood that my cat needed time to adjust before she would be comfortable around her, and did so with great patience. Due to her careful efforts, my cat grew to enjoy her company, and was always well adjusted and healthy when I returned from trips. She even noticed when my cat had an unexpected health issue while I was away, and worked with me early and late in the day to provide her with care that resolved the issue almost immediately. I received regular photo text message updates on how my cat was doing at home while I traveled, and I always came home to a friendly note about my cat's time while I was away. She went above and beyond to help me in a pinch, and was always helpful and courteous. She has excellent attention to detail, and a strong understanding of cat behavior and needs. I could not recommend BellyRub Pet Services higher, and am very grateful for the care they provide.

BellyRub is wonderful!!! Windy was more than helpful when we moved to Portland. Our sitter was very friendly and very informative. She sent pictures every visit. I felt very good about the service they were providing. My cat handled our leaving for vacation (right after we moved) wonderfully because our sitter treated him so well. I HIGHLY recommend them.

Windy at BellyRub has been tending to my dogs since September 2013, when I brought home an eight week old Lab puppy brother to my three year old Lab. She has been great to work with, following direction well, and being flexible when needed. If I need an extra visit or decide to cancel because I'm working from home, I always receive a "no problem!". She goes above and beyond, noticing when something is off and asking me about it then fixing it if needed. She also checks on my ducks and chickens to make sure they have access to water if it's cold or hot outside. I know my dogs really enjoy having her!

Windy with Bellyrub Pet Services is the best, hands down. I have a 150 lb puppy that can be a handful, and he means the world to me. Windy is the only other person I trust to care for him. She is pleasant, flexible, dependable, and highly professional. No matter what my pup throws at Windy, she knows exactly what to do and always keeps me in the loop. I only wish everybody could be as good at what they do as Windy is. She is a true professional.

Windy took care of my girls quite a bit over the past couple years, and they loved her. Be it when I was out of town for several days straight, or stopping in a couple days a week when I had long days at work, I loved knowing that my girls would be well taken care of and that they looked forward to their visits with Windy. I am sad that we recently moved to deep SE Portland and are out of the BellyRub service area, but you can bet that if we move back to North Portland Windy will be one of the first people I contact!

When I adopted two small terriers from a rescue organization I knew I was going to need someone special to help me with their care. After contacts with several pet services in the area I chose to go with Windy at BellyRub because of her professionalism. She immediately understood the issues associated with rescue animals and displayed patience and kindness towards Wilbur and Daisy. She also was able to set limits on their impulsive and somewhat unpredictable behaviors, helping them to be come more confident and well behaved. In addition when Windy comes to the house she always checks things over such as their water and toys, as well as a time or two has cleaned up after an accident. I have grown to depend on BellyRub to take excellent care of my pups and they show nothing but love and excitement when she comes to the house. I highly recommend you check out BellyRub Pet Services, you won't be disappointed.

My girl started off a timid rescue. Wet Noses has been amazing! They have really helped her to find her confidence with other dogs and people. They are great at communicating, sending emails when vaccines are due, info on the dog exhibiting sickness or other issues. My dogs looks forward to her days at Wet Noses, whining with excitement when we pull into the parking lot. I recommend them to everyone!

Wet Noses and Wagging Tails is awesome! I take my two dogs there every week and they always come back happy and tired. Staff is very friendly and flexible with drop off times. I love that they take photos of the dogs during the day too. I would recommend them for any dog owner! Thanks for taking care of these crazy dogs, Wet Noses and Wagging Tails!

We have been using wet Noses for multiple years, for both weekly daycare and boarding. The staff is amazing and truly care about your dogs. Both dogs are excited eveytime we pull up and exhausted when we pick them up. We have and will continue to recommend. They are AMAZING!!!!

This was Buddy’s first time going to doggy daycare so we were kinda nervous about how it might go. Buddy is a very high energy Aussie so we were concerned that he might be too much. Our concerns were for naught. Employees at Wet Noses & Wagging Tails are well experienced with high energy dogs and were actually excited to meet Buddy. Buddy had a great time and the best part was, he was totally exhausted! 😆

Our dog Cooper absolutely loves WNWT. He gets so excited he starts barking as soon as we turn onto the road leading to it. It is reassuring when your pet is so excited about being left at doggy daycare. He’s never responded that way to anywhere else we’ve ever taken him. He comes home tired and happy every time! Thank you WNWT staff for loving him and taking such good care of him!

We just started taking Sadie to daycare and boarding and she loves it. She is so excited to go for either the day or a sleepover. The staff is absolutely wonderful with dogs. I mean look at the grin Sadie has, that says it all. She’s one happy dog!

This review is long overdue. My spoiled princess has been going to Wet Noses for some time now and I sometimes think she may love them more than she loves me. Their love for everyone's babies is hard to miss, they treat each and every pet as of it was their very own. I'm so thankful to have found them to help me in caring for my Mina🌹! 🐾

Our dog, Maddie, has been attending doggie day care since she was a pup. We love the time she spends at WNWT knowing she is loved and is safe interacting with her buddies and the friendly staff.

The best thing that could have happened to us and for our pup Regal is finding Wet Noses & Wagging Tails! From day 1, the staff has been just awesome! Her 1st day of school at just 4 months old all the staff really took care to nurture her timid personality. Regal completely feels at home there now and all the staffers have been so kind watching her grow up. W just LOVE that she can stay in doors with her friends when wet and cold out or outside on nice dry days. It has helped her so much in learning to socialize and more importantly to get her very much needed exercise fix. She just loves it, can't wait to rush in to her pals and when the day is done strolls out nice and tuckered out from a long day's play. Thank you so much WN & WT!!

We were so nervous taking our (also nervous) dog to daycare and boarding for the first time. Our fears were quickly averted - they are helpful, friendly, and above all they love the dogs! I appreciated the extensive vet checklist and the fact that every dog goes through a temperament test before being admitted into the facility. It makes me feel like my dog is safe around all the other dogs. Love the photos and updates, couldn't be happier with the service.

I was really pleased with the quality of care our kitty received at Cats Play. We left our 14-year old Sophie in Margie's care for almost a month while we took an extended vacation. Margie texted me updates and occasional photos to help assure me that our Sophie was doing just fine. Margie is very professional and truly understands cat behavior and their needs. Her facility is very clean, and VERY quiet. Our Sophie was calm and happy when I picked her up-a sign that she had been treated very well.

My girlfriend and I knew we were going away for two weeks over Christmas, and we needed to find someone to look after our cat, Othello. We didn't feel comfortable asking local friends to keep Othello company for such a long period of time, so we started looking into boarding options. I had never boarded an animal before. Cats Play While You're Away exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely return to this local small business again. We didn't know what to expect, but Margie put us at ease and came across as very honest, caring, knowledgeable, and genuine. She sent us daily pictures of Othello, and he always seemed happy and entertained. While our cat didn't have any special needs or requests (besides time for cuddling!), Margie is very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile for any cat in her care. We are very pleased with our experience. We picked up Othello today and it is obvious to us that he was very well cared for. He obviously is grateful to be home, but I believe he had a great time with Auntie Margie at Cat Camp!

Margaret and her team took great care of our boy, Holmes. She was so kind and very knowledgeable too. She gave us a lot of helpful tips for our boy. She also sent us updates when we asked for them and Holmes was very at ease in her care. He came home looking great too. I think he had fun too.

This place is awesome. We went to Europe for two weeks and left our sweet orange baby angel in Margie’s hands. She was really attentive to our questions and understood his specific feeding needs and we quickly knew after talking with her that he was going to be totally fine. We got regular photo updates and could ask for more at anytime. He had a blast and came home healthy, happy and excited to see us. We will absolutely be booking him here in the future.

My cat may have had a better vacation than I did. Margie is a cat lover which is demonstrated by the quality of care Miss Lola got. The apartments are impeccably clean, and Lola got personal time to explore the facilities and hang out with Margie. I especially enjoyed the photos she sent daily. This is now my go-to spot for when we are away.

Marge is incredible. Our cats stayed with Cats Play While You're Away in May for one week. She sent us at least one picture per day and kept us updated throughout their visit. We were so pleased with the service that we booked again for the holidays. Drop-off day came along, and tons of flights were canceled, including ours. Marge was incredibly understanding. While chatting, she mentioned that she was prepared to camp out at the business to care for all the animals in her care throughout the storm if it got worse. This is the kind of person you want to care for your pets while you're away

Marjorie is wonderful, this is the cat boarding service we use. Our cat comes home perfectly happy, which wasn't the case for boarding services we've used in the past.

Cats Play While You're away is a top-notch place for your kitties to stay a few nights! Margie is a true cat lady and treated my cats like her own. I recently had to leave town for work, and didn't know what I was going to do about my cats, and especially my calico. My Smokey girl s the sweetest kitty and loves everyone she meets, and I was not worried about her at all. My calico Gizmo is not so friendly. In fact, she has been known to be ULTRA aggressive. She has attacked people that we have tried to leave her with for a few days, she has attacked people that came to our house to feed them while we were away. She (was) super crazy, even with us on occasion. She would act bi-polar, letting you rub her and love her one minutes and then swiping at you with murder mittens and meowing like she was being hurt. I was more than a little worried that she would be to much of a handful for Margie. Margie did her best to allay my fears and concerns, and she did to a point, but I was still very concerned about what lay in store for all of us in the coming days. Upon arrival, neither cat was happy. Smokey looked sad and dejected, Gizmos was mad and vocal. Well, Margie has turned my calico girl into something completely different. Gizmo is so sweet and loveable now. She is much calmer and more social with us, and there has been no sign of her past aggressions and crazy behaviors. Margie sent us pictures and updates every day while they were with her. They both had a great time! The next day's updates showed that they were both adjusting nicely. Both of them were letting Margie pet them, and while that's normal for Smokey, it was very abnormal for Gizmo. Cats Play While You're Away is the only place I will ever take my cats from now on. The service, price, and value was great. The rooms for the cats are gorgeous, as opposed to cages that I was seeing at some of the other boarding options. The place was very clean and smelled great. If you love your kitties as much as I love mine, don't bother going anywhere else.

I’ve boarded my two boys 7 times at Cats Play. Every time they come back happy and well-kept. Margie is always very responsive and even sends me pictures! I recommend Cat’s Play 100%!

The owner is such a caring person. Our cats struggle with transition quite a bit and can become very stressed in a short period of time. She worked with both us and our cats to help them feel safer and more comfortable. When we dropped our cats off they hissed and acted aggressive toward her. By the end of our cats stay, they were both calm. She was even able to pet one of them! She then gave us tips on how to work with our cats so they feel less stressed in new environments.

My pup went to Camp Good Puppy for daycare and boarding for over a year before we moved. I so appreciated the care they showed my pup who was nervous and shy at first. With their help she gained confidence and began to love going there for daycare every week. I always felt comfortable leaving her there for daycare or boarding. My pup will miss you all!

My Rottweiler “goes to camp” weekly and boards here when I need to go somewhere without him. As a rescue who was poorly socialized as a puppy, he was very nervous at first, and suffered with separation anxiety. The staff have won him over, and we’ve worked with Cierra in group training classes to improve his manners and confidence. Now he loves his weekly visits and doesn’t even look back at me as he runs off to play with his friends when I drop him off. Plus, his vet says he’s the best behaved Rottweiler at their practice. They get busy and booked up during the summer and over holidays, so make sure to book early during those times of year.

My pups LOVE coming to camp. They take great care of my babies and are always receptive to my communication.

My dog loves going here on a weekly basis! As soon as we turn into the camp he's already wagging his tail. The staff is friendly and helpful. The safety of the dogs is a high priority to them and I can tell they try their best to observe the dogs and provide the best experience. As a plus, I love the report cards that they provide periodically.

I had an emergency come up and needed day care. Everyone at the facility has gone out of their way to help. They have done everything needed to make sure I do not need to worry about my new work schedule that changed without warning. They went out of their way all the way through the easy process to get my fur babies the attention needed so I can work without worry of them being home alone. Thank you so much!!!! Can not say enough

We have been taking our 8 month old puppy to Camp Good Puppy since he was 4 months old and have had nothing but wonderful experiences! We’ve utilized the daycare services weekly and have done a few boarding stays. Our pup gets so excited to go to camp and runs to the workers, just as fast as he runs to us 😂 We love reading the report cards they provide and can tell everyone truly cares for our dog! He gets to go to camp and run around in fields and just be a dog. So thankful Camp Good Puppy is nearby!

Camp good puppy is such a great place! I took my dog Pepper there for the first time (pepper is really shy and kinda scared of other dogs) anyways pepper spent 10 days there and she made friends! She also isn't as shy anymore! This is such a wonderful place to take ur dog the workers are so sweet and responsible, I can really trust them with pepper! Thank u so much for taking care of my doggy♡

I toured their property with owner. She gave a great overview of their program and how it has been in her family since they opened. The faculty was well set up and open plan Good flow for incoming and out going pets. When viewing the kennel area it was clean and bright and organized. This camp is a balance of play and rest. Not a good fit for smaller dogs unless they interact well with other breeds and sizes. Good positive visit and tour. A nice fit for weekly day care and for a fee days boarding.

Our dog, Huey (ACD/Russell/Pitty), came to CGP with a lot of reactivity issues, especially on a leash. We attended their Basic Manners and Reactivity classes, and Huey had improved leaps and bounds from where he was. I have so much more confidence as a dog owner.Cierra is incredibly patient and invested in her training, which shows, considering how attentive and knowledgeable she was with our dog. This is a great place to bring your dog for amazing training by and resources. Highly recommended.

I love this place and my dog does too! It’s in the country they get to smell the air and be socialized with other dogs, while being who they are individually. I feel like my dog gets the attention she needs while staying safe. And I love the stuff they are receptive and caring and reliable. Thanks so much for being there camper good puppy!

Betsy and Amelia with Bowser’s Best Buddy are a cut above the rest. I see how much genuine love and care they show my pup, while offering positive and consistent training. My dog Otis attends their day program and has truly blossomed, from an excitable 1 year old adolescent to a well rounded, friendly, obedient member of their pack. Betsy has offered such valuable recommendations on how I could continue the training approach at home to keep advancing his knowledge. I found Betsy as I looked for a day program that wasn’t a larger scale “daycare” space. Betsy did a careful screening to make sure Otis would fit well with the other dogs and slowly folded Otis into the mix. Now that Otis is a “regular,” it gives me peace of mind that any newcomers to the program will be similarly vetted and introduced. A year into attending the day program, Otis is thriving and I am so grateful for the Bowser’s team (Finn, the elder pup, included!)

My two pups absolutely adore Betsy!!!! She takes them for walks, comes by and feeds them when I’m delayed, and have stayed with her and loved their time there. She is always there to help her clients in a pinch. Such a caring woman💕 We are very happy to have “found” such special care. …

Betsy is reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable. From photo and video updates, to leash and manners training, and extra cuddle time, she is more than just a dog walker. I’m so grateful for Betsy and all of her work with Phoebe!

We have been taking our girl to Bowser’s since she was a puppy. Tuesday’s are her favorite day of the week. Betsy treats Pimm like her own and it’s such a relief to not have to worry about her while I’m working. I get pic and video updates during the day, like this gem. We love working with Betsy. She’s professional, a great communicator, and so welcoming to Pimm. If your pup can get a spot, their lucky!

Betsy is a gem! We have two cats, and when we leave to go out of town, we go in peace, because we know they are always so well cared for and loved by Betsy. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Her daily updates, photos, and videos are wonderful to receive and make us feel so close to our kitties, even when we are far away. I can’t imagine finding a more professional, thoughtful, and thorough pet caregiver. 5 stars all around!

An incredible place for my goldendoodle! She has an amazing time with the other dogs, is incredibly well looked after. I would trust Bowser’s Best Buddies with one of the most important things in my life any day!

You will never find anyone better. The improvement into dogs’ lives when Betsy started walking them was immeasurable. I think they love her more than they love me. Maybe I love her more than I love me! If you call anyone else you’re just making a mistake.

We have been using Bowser’s Best Buddy for our catsitting needs over the last two years. We are so grateful to have found Betsy! She always takes great care of our two cats. We look forward to receiving the pictures/videos she sends after each visit. It gives us peace of mind each time we travel knowing that Betsy is checking in on them. We can’t recommend her enough!!

Whenever I’m leaving town, I rely on Betsy to take great care of my furbaby. I feel like she treats my dog as her own and that gives me piece of mind. My dog is well taken care of and spoiled, even sleeping in Betsy’s bed. Betsy is super reliable and communicative. She sends me regular updates and pictures while my dog is in her care. I highly recommend Betsy to take care of your pet(s)!

We found Betsy about a year ago - and think she is fantastic!! Our three dogs love her as well....she comes for mid day visits when we are out of town. She never fails to send us photos and a detailed review of the visit - and also takes the time to make sure things in the house and yard are in order. Betsy is organized, reliable, trustworthy and most of all, loves my puppies. I highly recommend her to any pet owner!!!

This place is great! Our little one loves going here to play with all her friends. The staff is super friendly and provides a safe and comfortable environment for our dog to spend some quality time while we work. It's easy to get set up with appointments, and they are flexible when plans change. No problems to report so far 😀 …

We initially had a great experience at ADBF. The pricing was reasonable, and our Frenchie thoroughly enjoyed her visits. We started with the Train and Play package and then transitioned to daycare visits. The training sessions were helpful, and everything seemed to be going well. However, our experience changed drastically when our dog became very sick, starting with kennel cough that progressed to pneumonia. After her recovery, we decided to take a break, only to discover that our daycare package had expired, leaving us out over $300 on top of the $2,000 in vet bills and unnecessary stress. At the emergency vet, we were informed that another dog had recently been treated for whooping cough, also linked to this facility. Our advice: conduct thorough research before choosing a daycare or training center for your pet.

Our dog, Judge loves it . The staff is very special . Tyra the manager is so nice and pleasant. All are very professional and dedicated to the dogs.

Excellent staff and facilities! My grand pup has visited both the East and west locations and is currently attending puppy kindergarten. She has learned so much and comes home content and exhausted. She loves going to school!

I'm always a little nervous when looking for a doggy day care for my pets. But the crew there were so kind and understanding it made it an easy choice. The facility is clean, I got to watch my dogs have fun all day with the workers and other dogs on the cameras. The report cards were a bit of fun and honestly a good show of how much they came to know my dogs in just one day and a sign that they really cared. My dogs came back tired but very obviously happy. Happy I went with them.

I've been taking my dog here for about a year and he just loves it! As soon as we get off the freeway and turn towards it, he starts bouncing around the backseat. Couldn't be more excited to go play! The staff is really nice and knowledgeable. The facility is clean and well maintained. I've never worried about his health or safety coming here, which is huge for a facility that cares for so many animals. They do a great job, wouldn't take him anywhere else.

Staff very friendly & easy to work with... However, I was disappointed with the lack of engagement during my dog's stay (assessment day). As the pet-owner, you have access to live cameras to watch your dog throughout the day which gives you a good an idea of what they do. I think the dogs are just there walking around in a room or outside for Inside/Outside Play (so called). I didn't see any interaction from the staff with the dogs (if so VERY little), no play, no toys.... Not good for my dog unfortunately. Maybe I had too high of expectations!

My little doggie had so much fun! She seemed relaxed and happy when she came home. I appreciated that the people running it seem to really care about the dogs and got to know them personally. The report card was very cute. We'll be back!

We hadn’t brought Bailey to your facility in a long time and she needed to be re-evaluated. The people there always treat the dogs with the utmost kindness and Bailey seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We have used daycare and boarding here before and will continue to do so. We have not found any other daycare boarding facility that we liked in Clark or Cowlitz County, so we’re always willing to drive an hour to board her. Highly recommended! Thanks, Ross & PJ

Wonderful daycare and training! The report cards for every day my puppy, Bubs, is there, the report card how what he did, how he did, and videos of his training. This is so helpful to know in order to continue the same training at home. The yearbook, pictures, and frozen treats you have are great added bonuses!! A Dog's Best Friend, you are the Best!!

Our two miniature schnauzers, aged 2 yrs & 7 yrs, love A Dog’s Best Friend East. They have both attended daycare and overnights on several occasions. The staff is very caring and attentive. The facility is safe and clean. Our younger dog also completed the excellent board and train program. Both dogs are eager to join in the fun when they are dropped off. They come home happy and tired from a day of play. We are grateful for A Dog’s Best Friend and would recommend any of their services to dog parents who are seeking quality dog care in Vancouver.

What a great place for a pup that's learning how to socialize! We just took our 6 month old puppy to be assessed for daycare. I love that there are webcams so we could watch Miles interact with the other pups. The staff was extremely attentive, the facility is clean, and I loved receiving photos and a report card at the end of Miles' visit. Not to mention, playing all day wore him out and he got to burn off his energy in a safe and positive way! We can't wait to book more days there.

The facility is awesome the enrichment to build confidence and tackle new things is a first time for me. Their training is amazing. Special shout-out to Taylor. Everybody here is so knowledgeable but she was super helpful with our offsite training. Already made lots of progress on our nervous Nelly. Pic 1 enrichment. Pic 2 training with a slip lead to get more confidence at the park. Yes his sister walks him around and guides him with his stress and nervousness it's adorable 😍🥰

We loved the doggy day care when we lived closer. Never had any bad incidents or habits picked up. I fully trust the staff with my fur-baby. I still drive all the way from the coast just to use this location for “sleep overs” when I need help in a pinch. We also did the ~2-3 week board and train at around 1 years old, with Taylor, and specifically asked for leash skill help. She’s now two and calmly walks with a loose leash. I frequently get compliments on her behavior.

WOW! What a difference three weeks with Taylor and board & train at A Dogs Best Friend can make. Holy smokes. We are so happy and very proud of our dog’s progress and have so much to thank Taylor for. Folks send their dogs to board and train programs for many reasons. For us, we wanted support honing previously learned skills, learning recall, and curbing a few unwanted behaviors such as excitedly lunging and jumping at people, fence fighting, and barking. We were nervous about so many things. What would we do without our boy for three weeks? Would his sweet and playful personality be the same when he returned? Could we stick to it and reinforce his learning at the end of it all? The three weeks away were tough. But we timed it with a family vacation which helped a lot. As for the dog we picked up at the end; Ozzie is the exact same amazingly sweet and playful dog. But he is so much more confident, calm, and responsive. He honestly seems like a much happier dog. Almost like he feels and shares the pride we have in him. And with the tools and confidence it has given us, we can now give him the fulfilling life he deserves. THANK YOU, TAYLOR! We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

We are very happy with the training our puppy had. Our trainer was wonderful. She worked with us as well as Charlie. He has learned so much. A different dog. William and Carolyn Nicolay

I’ve been taking my Corgi to A Dog’s Best Friend East for boarding since we moved to Washington over two years ago. They have always been consistently welcoming, caring, pleasant and efficient. Several months back my dog needed medical attention while boarding. We were traveling out of state at the time. Staff was on quickly on top of things and took him to our vet nearby where we followed up.

Our puppy and I love ADBF! Luna was extremely shy and skittish before we brought her to this place for puppy kindergarten. Before this place, she would freak out and had accidents at the vet, and would scoot back when people and pets approached her. After bringing her to their kindergarten program, she has been more confident and happy to be around everyone! She no longer whines or shy away at the vet, she can tolerate/enjoy it when people and pets approach her now. I love the webcams they have on their website, we can see what she’s doing during the day. Also we receive report cards at the end of the day and it’s very helpful for us to understand what she’s learned during that day! She also stayed overnight when we were on our vacation and we received how she did overnight. I really love their report card system! We really appreciate the staffs at ABDF.

We had a great experience with the ADBF board and train. Taylor, the trainer, was wonderful with our 2 y/o dog, Iggy. Even though it was hard dropping him off, he came back calmer and just a better version of himself. He continues to make gains in confidence and impulse control each day. The best part is that his dog reactivity is virtually nonexistent now, which gives us new freedom to go anywhere without anxiety. We can just relax and enjoy each other’s company. Thanks ADBF!

My sweet pup learned so much and was well cared for. Taylor had such a calm demeanor at all times but was a respected leader for Lucy in her training. To be able to walk her on "heel" and be so mannerly in her obeying commands makes her even more of a joy. I'm very grateful for so many breakthroughs and will do my best to follow Taylor's training,

If I trust them with my dog, you know this place is excellent! I have had my dog stay here multiple times over the past few years when we have gone on vacation. My dog wags her tail when she arrives, which is always a good sign! They are responsive to emails when I want to check in. The facility is always clean, and staff very friendly. I have no concerns about leaving my sweet girl in their care!

Howliday Inn is the best. The employees are magical. Our pup is always so excited to get there. That is the testament to me. Thanks so much for the doggy daycare of our Mabel.

My dog Woody was accepted into the pack here and enjoys his stays! He comes home happy and tired. Dylan (owner) is clearly passionate about dogs and caring for them. I feel reassured when I need to drop my boy off for a day, and had a positive experience staying for a week while I was on vacation. This is our go-to dog daycare & boarding place, convenient even from Vancouver/across the river! Also I believe it's Dylan who takes & shares awesome pics of the dogs daily on their Instagram; a pic he took is now my phone background since it's the best one I have of Woody!

My pup Olive has been going to Howliday since she was 12 weeks, she is now 8 months. Dylan and his staff have gone above and beyond to help socialize and help her become a well rounded dog. She loves going here almost every day and I know my pup is safe and having fun while I'm at work. I cannot recommend them enough.

They are so good with my dogs, very nice staff. When we pull up the dogs go crazy with joy, and at the end of the day they are still happy and tired.

Our doggie eval included a day of fun and a goodie bag! They really seem to care about the details that make your pet’s stay the best it can be. It was comforting to be able to get a tour of the facility and see the separate and quiet sleep/rest area from the main play areas.

Everyone was very nice and helpful, even reaching out to me beyond your basic customer service. This place does seem great for your typical 20+ pound dog. We took our little 10 pound chihuahua mutt there, and she had barked herself hoarse by time we got back a few days later, and took a couple days to recover, makes me think she didn't get the same attention a larger dog gets there. Just doesn't seem like they cater to that type of dog, which is fine, I just wish I'd known beforehand. I'd still take my larger social dog there.

Such a wonderful experience! This is a very unique dog daycare/boarding facility. The staff was so welcoming and I just love the style of the daycare. My pup had an amazing time. I’m going to recommend this place to all of my family/friends. Thank you guys for being awesome 👏

Our dog takes a long time to warm up to strangers and can be stressed easily in an environment like this. The entire team has gone above and beyond to make sure juice loves it there and we couldn’t be more appreciative! She only lasted 30 minutes on day 1 and wouldn’t even them you take her leash off. They let us try again the next week with a slip leash and while she was nervous, she lasted 6 hours. After another few visits and some patience from the great people there, she’s starting to feel comfortable and seems to be ready to start spending nights. Dylan and the team here are great!

Love the Howliday inn! My dog Leroy loves coming here, the staff is very attentive and they care about each dog. They give us updates about his day, or if he had any issues, or if there was a particular pup he was having fun with during the day.
