Liselle was very flexible and communicative with us prior to our trip. She let me know as soon as she arrived that the kitties were fine. She gave us updates on their "antics" and solved one problem on her own without contacting us. I appreciate that type of sitter. Liselle left our house very clean and the sheets were already in the dryer when we landed (so great!!). Our kitties seemed very happy upon our return. I'd definitely recommend Liselle for your next house sit.
Highly Recommend! -Lovely family -Delightful pets. Ziggy is a big goofy doodle and is always up for fun. Daisy is an extremely sweet tabby, never grumpy, and very gentle even during active play. Both pets have easy/straitforward feeding & care schedules. -Very comfortable home in easily accessible section of inner NE Portland (Irvington/MLK). Whole Foods and New Seasons organic grocery stores are both half of mile away and Safeway is less than a mile. Williams Avenue & Russell Street (music, bars, restaurants coffee) are both an easy 10 minute walk. If you like live music, check the calendars for the Wonder Ballroom (.5 mile) & Mississippi Studios (1 mile). If you're a transit user, you'll be a block from MLK Blvd. -Pro Tip: don't miss out on breakfast at TwentySix Cafe and dinner at Pocket Pub (don't let the humble name fool you) for dinner. They are next door to each other and barely a block away from Daisy and Ziggy's front door. -Once again, highly recommend.

Poor Customer Service and Communication. Received a call from Alpha Dog Care's owner 4 days before start of overnight boarding reservation that our dog was no longer welcome at facility. This is after our dog had been at Alpha Dog Care on three separate occasions and no issues ever reported to me at time of pick ups. In addition, a staff member commented how much she loved our dog. Last minute cancellation on part of the owner caused my family to have to cancel a weekend getaway due to being unable to scramble for plan b pet care.
I recommend the multitude of Rovers or the other dog boarding facility (Wag-n-tails) over Alpha Dog. They are much better at communication, less expensive, more flexible and way friendlier.
Took great care of our somewhat nervous pup. She ate all her food and had no readjustment issues. We cannot thank you all enough! Great facilities, ability to go outside and stay inside, and also allows the pups to play but gets set break times in the day!
The staff here was really great! We called to see if they could take our two dogs for the day so we could get out and do a days hike without them. When we dropped them off I let the staff know that one of the dogs was not very socialized with other dogs and asked them if she could be kenneled away form the other dogs. They put both of our dogs in a separate part of the kennel where they could run and play and visit with the other dogs through the fence. When we went to pick them up they were happy and well exercised. We will definitely use Alpha Dog Care the next time we are in the Salida area.
Such a fun environment for your fellow fur friends. The owner is incredibly down to earth, sweet family guy who is ready to have a great day with your pup. Definitely recommend this place for day stay or overnight, you can rest assured that you dog is in fabulous hands!
Excellent clean spacious facility with friendly staff. Options for every pup to go outside as frequently as they like. Great location too by the brewery. Our 2 large dogs had a positive experience while we rafted the Arkansas river. 5 stars!
This is the best dog daycare I have ever brought my dog to. It is so clean and spacious. I have absolutely zero worries about taking my dog here. Dane is fantastic and great to work with a check in and check out.
I am so grateful that this facility exists! I was passing through Buena Vista, CO to visit some family on my way to Oregon for a cross-country move. Alpha Dog was in a perfect location. They were thorough in their information and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my doggos for a couple of nights. It gave my boys a great chance to expend some energy, make new doggy friends, and be in a safe and friendly environment. Thank you for a great experience, Alpha Dog Daycare!!!
We opted to try Alpha Dog rather than leave our 7 month old pup in his crate at the hotel while we hit the slopes. We're so glad we did too! Our little dude had a blast! And, the guy (I assume the owner) was so sweet when we picked him up. He told us how our pup did and even mentioned that he kept jumping in his lab to cuddle when the owner would sit down. Our pup is like our baby so it made us feel so great that someone was showing him attention in addition to all the other super sweet pups he got to play with. We will definitely take advantage of Alpha Dog the next time we head to Monarch to ski!
We had a great first experience here. Jackson was super friendly and as far as we can tell, our dog had an epic time here playing with all of the other pups. We’ll definitely be using Alpha as our go-to for boarding.
We've used wag n tails to board our pup twice so far and each experience has been wonderful! the staff is very kind and caring. The pricing is affordable. Being able to leave your dog somewhere that you can trust is monumental. Highly recommend this place!
Sarah bathed and groomed our (stubborn) 14 yr old Australian Shepherd. We could not have been more pleased. Our puppy was not only the best looking dog on the block, she was in a great mood! Sarah has a special touch. I highly recommend Sarah.
We boarded our GSP with Wag'N Tails while in Colorado on vacation. They treated her like their own. The staff was so excited to see our girl and she felt very comfortable with them from the get-go. Check-in and Check-out were seamless, and they were responsive to inquiries while our pup was there. We will definitely be using them again when we travel out that way! Thank you!!!
My pups are all wags when they go in. They love their add-on walks. Wag-n-tails has been incredibly accommodating and makes doing shift work in Salida possible.
This establishment is top notch. My dogs love coming here and the staff is wonderful. I don't know what I'd do without them? They are super helpful and kind to humans and doggos alike!
They saved my arse last September. My jrt hurt his leg while hiking the Collegiate loop. I was able to use Chaffee shuttle from BV to get him to wagn tails where he stayed while I finished my hike. I hope to thru hike the CT with my pup so it's great to know they are there if need be..
I got the strong impression that these people REALLY love dogs, which is easy, but not everyone who does the dirty work enjoys them. My dogs were very happy when I picked them up after a week.
Mike and Patty have been taking care of my hard to manage fur babies for years. In fact, they are the only ones I trust to give my rambunctious crew the love they need while I'm away. They are always there when I need them and I don't mind driving 120 miles out of my way for the extra peace of mind.Their place is clean, comfy and warm and I won't ever take my dogs to anyone else. If you need boarding, you can trust them to treat your best friend like family.
We brought our dog and two cats here for a 9 night stay and I was very nervous, but after walking in I felt that my pets were going to be in good hands! My dog can be very intimidating to some, they didn’t bat an eye. They made sure we were happy with where the animals were and got to say our goodbyes. We were able to call and get a check in on them anytime. My dog didn’t want to eat at first and they gave him a little treat on top of his food to get him to eat! On top of it all we got a great price and a generous discount we were not expecting. Very thankful and happy with our experience!! Will be using this facility for any future needs! Thank you again!
We have 3 dogs. When we go out of town the dogs stay at wag'n tails. We have used them for over ten years. They do a fantastic job! When I leave my dogs I know they are safe and are given great care! The facility is always very clean! We love Patti, Mike and the whole team at wag'n tails!
Abloustly no words to describe how wonderful this place is, very professional pristine care and knowledgeable in all aspects , clean safe, well managed and they know animals and look over any need Id NEVER consider taking my dogs elsewhere
We loved this Kennel. The owner was very friendly and eager to take care of our dog. We left her for a day trip. It is very clean and set up perfect for inside and outside care. I would definitely use this kennel again if the occasion arises. Thanks K for your service. We used this service in June of 2017.
We love having our two pugs stay at Eight Mile Kennel. Jeff and Kareen are truly caring and engaged with the animals and are genuinely just nice people. I would highly recommend them for your pets and your peace of mind. - Lisa Ford
Best service, great facilities, the absolute best care. Highly recommend the 8 Mile Ranch!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this place! Karleen loves and cares for my dog like her own. When I go on vacation I don't think twice about commuting 4hrs round trip so my pup can have her own vacation in the mountains. Her tail wags uncontrollably when she sees Karleen.
Absolutely 💯 recommend Eight Mile Ranch! Kareen is Amazing and her facility is the cleanest! I have never been disappointed. My fur babies are safe and well taken care of. …
The absolute best place we have ever board our dogs. Very friendly people and overly caring.. It is one of the cleanest and most spacious facilities for dogs. It is absolutely night and day from most places. Will use them any time we visit the area in the future.
I was so nurvous leaving my dogs with total strangers. This summer we were going on a family vacation and didn't have family to watch my dogs, so I had no other choice. Eight mile was the best. They had our dogs for about a week and my dogs loved it there. They are were so good with my dogs. I will definitely use them again!
We can't even express how grateful we are to Eight Mile Ranch!! Wonderful people and facilities. I would recommend them to anyone after the kindness they showed us and our sweet Pug, Frank!
Beautiful, clean, spacious facility. We highly recommend 8 Mile Ranch for your four legged “babies” Ours loved it! Thank you Jeff & Kareen🐶 …
Left my 1.5 yr old pup here for the weekend. Let me start by saying my dog has never had an accident, not even in the 2 months he was at the shelter where he was left alone for 12 hours per day (I know this because I worked there). I picked up my dog from the kennel and his bed was wet and smelled off pee and he smells of pee. I don’t know how long he must have been left alone to have an accident but beware. She also didn’t say anything, just handed back the bed and sent us on our way. I don’t know if she didn’t even notice and in fact that might be worse.
Don’t believe the nah sayers about this place. The staff is awesome and made extra effort for our small pups to feel safe. Will definitely be back!
Jan at Double J Cross was great to work with! The kennel was just minutes down the road from the Mt Princeton Hot Springs Resort and offered us a great, safe spot to drop the puppers off for the weekend. She even made time for us to pick them up on Sunday without any additional charge. Her rates were very reasonable too! Our dogs were very well taken care of and we could not be happier! Definitely check her out if you’re looking for a kennel while in the area!
Horrible Experience Took our dog here several times with good experiences. This last visit, she didn't remember that we had called for a reservation. When we dropped him off, we filled out a registration form again with our cell phone numbers etc, because she didn't seem to remember us. Then she grouched at us for wasting her forms. When we came to pick up our dog. She tells us she has been trying to call us for three days, that our dog freaked out and tore up her kennel and that she had to clean up all the blood!!!??? We are obviously alarmed. She goes on to tell us that this is the first time he's been there and that we need to get him help!!?? He'd been there 4 times in the last 8 months... She goes on and on about how she left messages for us and that she had to sedate him. All the while, we are wondering what state our poor dog is in. She doesn't know what number she tried. And says that we didn't leave her any other numbers...we remind her that she grouched at us for filling out another registration form, that had both of our cell phones and our veterinarian's info. Further we had filled this form out every other time we had been in. Finally we demand to see our dog. Our beautiful golden retriever's face was cut up, his teeth were broken. He was shaking when we released him from her cage. We were so shaken by the whole thing, that we agree to pay the hundred dollars for her kennel gate. We took him to our veterinary the next day and she warns us that he will probably need his teeth fixed over the next year or so. We travel often and he has been to several kennels in several states. Never had any issues. As a matter of fact, we generally get comments from the kennels about what a sweetheart he is. He is a typical Golden Retriever, as gentle as they come. We just can't believe that she attempts to run a kennel. She doesn't seem to have the mental capacity, ability, desire to run a business, let alone care for people's dogs. We of course will never return. We would strongly discourage anyone from leaving their dog here, if they care about the dog's well being. From what we can tell, she called our home phone once and left a message. The best we can figure is that we dropped the dog off at 6 pm on Thursday and the first time that he was checked on was at 10 am the next day. BEWARE, this place is not safe for your pet.
Wow, just...wow after reading the last review. Just came on here to leave a decent review as I remember there only being older ones when I found Double J online before our trip over Labor Day Weekend, which I was afraid would be unavailable. Our two mid/large terriers appeared fine when we picked them up around 6pm, with no issues mentioned or apparent. They were extremely thirsty the entire evening after we stopped in Buena Vista, a half hour later, so I was concerned about water availability during their overnight stay. Jan, the owner, mistook some comments I had during our conversations, but didn't seem lacking in knowledge, ability, or intent; although she may have a hearing deficit that could create some issues. FYI, Jan was very particular when we arrived: wanted food in a sealable plastic bin, desired traditional bedding that could not be torn/shredded by your pet, and pick up time, though listed as by appointment, truly is as posted in their daytime hours (not after 6pm). They had great seven day/week available times.
Very accommodating, is run by a dog breeder so they are competent to handle most problems. The Kennels them selves are nothing fancy your standard indoor-outdoor run and is kept very clean(cleaner than I have found elsewhere). They also groom dogs but I haven't used that service. I like them have used them several times and will use them again.
The woman taking care of the place has unfortunately become too old to operate this place correctly. She didn't remember my reservation even after calling about 6 times to confirm. So I didn't leave my dog there as it did not feel right.
Jan is a compassionate person who cares very deeply about dogs and their humans. I won't go into details, but I've personally witnessed her kindness and generosity toward an individual who's recently been dealt a tough hand.
Left my dog here for the day. I wasn't thrilled with the bare bones cement-floored crates and tiny outdoor runs, but it was the only place in the area. When I came to pick up my dog, I found that she had been stuck outside in the rain all day. She was in the outdoor run, curled up and shivering, and no one had noticed. I guess she hadn't been able to get back inside, but no one had been back there all day.
We have never had a problem with Double J Cross. Our dogs have been well cared for and Jan has always been personable and accomadating. I would recommend Double J Cross to anyone.
