Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $18/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We absolutely love this place! Maisy has the best time. She plays all day & comes back so tired. The staff truly care for the dogs & families. They even post pictures of the dogs every day. We love you!
very impressed with this kennel. owner and staff are nice, facilities looked and smelled clean. My dog was happy to go back, it seems like he had a good time. will definitely use this kennel again. Thank you for having Kylo!
Above and beyond is the only way to describe this place! I had so much anxiety over boarding our little 6 month old puppy. We had a bad experience elsewhere and so I didn’t know what I was going to do. I found this on google and it looked great. So I was put on the waitlist cuz i booked it too close to trip and they fill up. I got a call 3 days before we were to leave saying they had space. The owner Becky talked to me for 1/2 hour to make me feel comfortable about leaving her. All my anxiety went away and I knew she would be well taken care of. It was so clean! Didn’t smell of kennel at all. The staff is amazing and it was a breeze dropping her off and picking her up. She must have had a good time playing cuz she slept most of the rest of the night. They post pictures every day. It was so nice to see our little puppy having the time of her life. They even went above and beyond and I got a small video just to ease my mama heart. I really can’t stress enough at how amazing this place is! I would give 10 stars if that was an option!
From the moment I walked in the door for a tour, I was greeted with smiles and treated with the respect and understanding. Greg showed us the facility, the numerous cameras they have to watch the dogs, and how the kennels are separate for size. I was very comfortable leaving my fur baby in their care. During her time at daycare, she became close to another dog who happened to be a foster dog through Mikey’s chance. It didn’t take long before we decided to add another fur baby to the family. They both go to daycare 2 days a week, have the BEST time, and are absolutely worn out! Putting our babies in daycare through Ruff inn it is definitely the best decision we made for them. Thank you Greg, Becky, and all the kennel staff for loving my girls and ensuring they have a good time.
We have a golden doodle - which speaks for itself when it comes to the skill and care needed to groom him! Shawn was always so good to him and did the best job. If we weren’t leaving the area, we would keep using them for sure!
The first visit is a meet and greet to make sure your Dog is a good fit. Buddy loves other dogs so he instantly loved this place. The owners and staff were very kind and answered all my questions. My first impressions were all good. Today Buddy had his first day at the Kennel. He seemed to love it and was one pooped pup when I picked him up.
Our rescue Yorkie has been turned away by four different groomers, all claiming his anxiety was too high to handle. But Greg is a true dog whisperer! Not only did our little love bug come out looking adorable, you could tell Greg groomed him with exceptional tenderness and care. He catered to our dog's special needs, and we've never seen him look better. Unlike other places where he left riddled with anxiety and trauma, after his appointment with Greg, he was genuinely happy. Thank you, Greg, for your incredible skill and compassion!
It is no different than dropping your dog off with a trusted relative and they have become like family to us. These guys are great and we are fortunate to have them in our lives.
Ruff INN IT is probably the coolest and chill boarding kennel ever. The dogs are treated like family, the facility is very well equipped and with the owners on site, the security of knowing any situation can be dealt with quickly, is a huge bonus. I can’t say enough how thankful I am to Greg and his team. Ruda will definitely be back for some more fun!! 🫶🏽♥️#tireddoggyisahappydoggy
This place is amazing! It's a little drive out of Kennewick but so worth it. It's family owned and operated and the owner is very nice. He even sat in my dogs kennel with him for awhile at night because my pup is a little anxious, That's priceless! This is a social kennel, your dogs are out of the kennel all day playing with other dogs which they can run around in the shop/ garage area as pictured or go out the doggie door to the fenced backyard. He also runs his grooming shop out of the other side of the garage so the dogs get that human interaction all day while he is out there working. Also the prices were great, especially for the service you get. He was also flexible with me on pick up time since I was driving back from the west side and traffic can be unpredictable! I can't say enough good things about this kennel! I will be going back, maybe even for a daycare date, my pup liked this place so much I think he forget I even left him!
Great people, very caring and attentive, we always feel at ease knowing our dogs are taken care of while we're out of town. Our dogs usually get anxious about going places but they get excited to come here which says a lot. We also love that they post pictures online every day so we can see them while we're gone.
Nothing but good to say about this place. My dogs always come home happy, healthy and tired :) . I love the amount of activity they get through the day and the care and attention provided during their stay. When away from home for an extended time I appreciate that I can check out the Facebook page and see pictures of them playing and being happy.
The BEST doggie daycare EVER! Oscar is so happy here. Ed and the team love your dogs so much! Oscar falls asleep in the car on the way home, because he's been playing all day with his friends. They are clean and responsible, and everything you need, but also loving and attentive and the dogs have a great time! The best doggie daycare you will find!
Wow!! What a great experience. We loved how the owner Ed was so passionate about all the dogs. He let us do a walk threw before we brought out the dogs, so we knew what to expect. Everything was clean, inside and out. We loved that our dogs were able to play outside (weather pending) for hrs on end AND with out being charged for exercise! Also no extra fees for giving medications. It was heated inside when they were in their kennels during the day/night. We would never take our dogs anywhere else and will definitely be back soon!
My experience with Badger Canyon Dogs has been AMAZING. It was recommended to me from multiple friends. My dog is an extremely protective border collie who has been difficult to socialize in the past. Since coming here, her entire demeanor with other dogs has changed and she plays with all the dogs, big and small. She is obsessed with Ed, he takes amazing care of her and caters to her needs/temperament. SO grateful to Badger Canyon Dogs for everything they've done to help Freya. She's always exhausted at the end of the day from playing so hard. I recommend this place every chance I get!
Our dogs stayed here recently while we were out of town and we absolutely reccomend them! They are amazing and took great care of our two dogs, who are both older. They have a great setup for all types and sizes of dogs. The staff is friendly and caring, we will definitely be using them again!
Our dog loves going to daycare. Ed and his family take wonderful care of all of the dogs and we wouldn't trust our dog to anyone else. The kennels are always clean, the yards are well maintained and shaded for the dogs to run all day long, weather permitting. They treat all of the dogs like they're their own!
Don’t take your dogs anywhere else! These guys love your dogs as much as you do and take great care of them! The kennels are clean and cozy and the dogs have a blast playing outside for hours and hours everyday. The best!
We couldn't be happier with the experience. Not only did they fit us in last minute, but Shyla and Lily had the best time there! The owners posted pictures everyday of the dogs playing which made us very comfortable with the situation. We even noticed they had put a sweater on our younger dog because she was cold! We will definitely be bringing our beloved pups back in the future.
This place loves dogs and dogs love being there. Great socialization through play time with constant supervision. Dog owners can enjoy their own time knowing their pets are safe and actively engaged.
We have been bringing our dogs to Huck Finn Kennels since 2009. Our first German Shepherd, Toby, loved it so much he couldn’t get out of the car fast enough when we would drop him off. We travel quite a bit so our dogs have extended stays several times a year. We will only leave them at Huck’s for these trips because we know they’re always well taken care of and happy. The service is top notch. We get updates throughout the stay and we can tell the staff genuinely cares for the dogs. The facility is a dog’s paradise with several separate yards and tons of space for them to run and play. Our two dogs Sophie and Arthur are there right now (May 2024) and we always say when we go on vacation, the dogs get to too.
We love Huck Finn! Huck and Linda really care about the animals they board. They get to know them. They’ll tell you how they did will you were gone. Even by phone so it’s obvious they know who they are! The facility has large grassy areas for dogs. They separate the big dogs from the little ones. Moose and Trinity (smallish terriers) love hanging with friends in the small dog space. We board them together and that makes them more comfortable. We love our dogs, but can’t take them everywhere we go. I’m so glad Huck Finn is their home away from home. As an added bonus, we get to see them on Facebook while we’re gone. Huck Finn posts pics of the happenings! 😂
Love brining my cat here. She enjoys the outdoor catio & bird watching. The staff ensures she’s safe and care for her as she was theirs.
DOGGY CAMP! That's what my dog Preson and I call it. They have excellent staff who love your pets like you do. Preson always comes home happy and tired from all the fun he had!! Also, they take photos of the fur babies having a blast!! 1000% recommend!
The last time I used Huck Finn kennels they were great. But for some reason the gentleman that I spoke with must be lazy or a liar!! My dog wasn't neutered last time I brought him in to stay for 3 days!! If I were you I wouldn't NOT take your pet to this place!! It seems they make the rules as they go and pick a choose!!!!!!! Very very very unprofessional!!! If I could give no stars I would!!!
We had been coming here for years and recommended this place to family and friends. That is no longer the case. Originally we were greeted by friendly younger employees (daughters?). Now, it's only a very rude old man. He favors the law firms that Doggy Daycare here (his words). Super rude, curt, idaf attitude to everyone else. After years, we're going somewhere else.
Huck Finn Kennels have been taking care of our dog Humphrey for the past 16 years, whenever we need to be away from home. I have a boarding reservation scheduled for June, and our dog has been having some medical complications so I called them to let them know what was going on with him. The owner Huck, personally called me today to check on our dog Humphrey, and he reassured me that if we needed to make any changes to the reservation that would be fine. We appreciate the services that Huck Finn Kennels offer and the care and compassion they have for the all the animals that they take responsibility for while the owners are away. Thank you Huck and your staff for your fine boarding kennel.
Best kennel in the tricities. I'm very satisfied with the staff. Owners Linda and Huck are the BESTTTT!!!
Huck Finn Kennels has been a great place for leaving our dog for both long periods and short periods. The owners and staff know her by name and by character. They are all very kind, conscientious, caring and professional when it comes to caring for your dog. I recommend them highly-highly!!
**WARNING** You may never see your dog again if you kennel your dogs here. Our dog ESCAPED due to inadequate training, procedures, and facilities. We dropped our small dog off on Thursday, who then escaped on Friday afternoon/evening. We were not contacted until Saturday morning. We immediately cancelled our vacation and drove the 5hrs back to try and find our dog. At first Huck was helpful in the search but grew increasingly agitated as we kept coming back to search. Eventually he lost his temper and refused to let us set traps in the kennel property, where our dog had been spotted recently. He repeatedly called me a “mother******” and told my wife to “Find your own dog.” He never once said he was sorry or showed concern for our dog, only his business. PLEASE don’t risk losing your dog with Huck Finn Kennels. Thankfully we were able to catch our dog Sunday night/Monday morning with traps set surrounding Huck’s property with the support of the very kind neighbors.
My labradoodle,Delilah has boarded there a couple of times recently and I can tell she loved it. Jennifer is very trustworthy pays attention to your fur-baby and beams with confidence with her knowledge of doggies - I trust her - the place is very dog friendly.
The attention and detail they put into making sure you and your pet are happy is incomparably the best. They put extra care to make sure our pups are taken care of so we can do what we need to do in peace. Thank you lucky river!
Love taking my dog here. He's always well taken care of in wore out when I get home. Highly recommended
She is amazing and very talented when it comes to knowledge and knowing the problems. She figures out what is wrong and shows you how to fix any issues! Highly recommend
She is so good with my Lily. Highly recommended.
Thank you!
First off I am thankful they were able to watch my dog but I am not happy about the end result. my dog arrived with no wounds or cuts of any kind when i dropped her , I picked up my dog an I noticed not 1 but 2 wounds on her lip on the top on both sides of her lip I contacted the owner of the boarding facility and she tried to reassure me that my dog could have bit her own lip and or rubbed her face up against a tree/fence but I am not assured or convinced . How am I supposed to feel comfortable and confident leaving someone to watch my dog an when I go to pick up my dog she has a injury no one can give a good and convincing explanation to how or what happened. Thank you for feeding and keeping my dog hydrated and letting her be outdoors. I will not be relying on this facility again in the future if I am needing boarding . Gone 2wks an these wounds are only a couple of days old at max due to healing of the wound and I was not informed on any issues or incidents. I requested a bath an my dog didn't even smell clean and her neck was still dirty it was like I paid $35 dollars for them to just wet her overall I am disappointed
The staff has been very friendly and are very accommodating. There are many additional add-ons available during your pets stay. Even though Loki hates to be away from us, the staff works very well with him.
Our dog doesn't seem to mind this place. Normally, she would try to escape when we've had other places watch her and she doesn't do that here. Highly recommend. Update: After years of coming here, I can say my dog definitely enjoys coming here. It's nice that I can trust that she is being well taken care of when we go out of town. Still highly recommend ❤️
We took our dog Kittle to a kennel for the first time..He was well cared for at this facility. He came home just as sweet and happy as when we left him..
We used the boarding services for the first time with our dog and we will be using Bnb pet retreat for future kenneling as well. They have great communication and very responsive we have to go out of town last minute they were very accommodating to our pets needs. I love that you can also add a frozen Kong toy w/ your pets stay ( our dog loves them ) I highly recommend.
I am so happy I found this place to board my reactive dog. It was a very difficult decision to board her at all but bnb Pet Retreat definitely treats my dog well and works around her needs. They give me updates on how she is doing so I know after each visit how she is adjusting to being away from home and around other dogs that usually scare her. Thank you for always being so accommodating!
The employees are very friendly and helpful. I have boarded cutter on two occasions for a week plus. Upon request they will give you updates during the dog's stay as to how he's doing. They offer other services,e.g., nail trimming, baths, treats, etc. At the time of pickup they will relate how the dog behaved and what activity they liked. I have been very happy, and I can tell cutter was as well after his vaca.
They were so accommodating to our dog and cat, going as far as to let them stay in the same suite! Our pets are bonded and having them together means the world to us since they will be more comfortable. The staff are very friendly and really took the time to keep our dog engaged, I can't thank them enough for the work they do! Whenever we have to go out of town, we will definitely be using BnB again.
This place was an absolute lifesaver! Relocating four hours away from home, they took our precious pup for three weeks while we made the tough transition. Our dog is a rescue german shepherd mix that was severely abused and can be hard to handle because of it but they absolutely doted on and loved on him. He came back to us happy as a clam and freshly bathed too! They offer incredibly flexible pickup and drop off times, plenty of perks for your pup, and were even willing to let us extend the stay by a day very last minute due to our situation. Not to mention the property being gorgeous too! I highly recommend anyone looking to board their dog use BnB Pet Retreat. It truly is a retreat for your pets and we will never go anywhere else ❤️
We're so glad we found BnB Pet Retreat! I'm always nervous to board our dog, who is nervous around strangers and new environments, but I felt he was in great hands with BnB. The kennel attendant took her time to introduce herself to our dog and help him get comfortable with the situation before taking him back. When we picked him up he seemed happier than when we've picked him up at other boarding facilities. Their rates and vaccine requirements seem totally reasonable and their pick up times are convenient. We'll definitely be bringing our pup back the next time we go out of town!
This place is amazing. Yes they are serious about the dogs in their care and that is what you want if you love your dog. Al and his staff are always pleasant even when they are busy. They take care of my dog and I don't worry about her at all. I have read these reviews regarding Al and his professionalism and really was put off by them. This man cares about animals and yes he can sometimes seem distracted because he is working with them, BUT he is still professional. I would rather hang with the dogs then some of the people writing these reviews too. I take Zeva there for training and even though she acts the fool sometimes Al stays patient and gives clear direction. I drop her off to play and she comes home happy and exhausted (the way I like her lol). Truly a great place.
Their training program has done wonders for my dog Ripley. They teach concepts in a variety of ways that helps everybody understand, and since the group sizes are kept small, you can easily get one-on-one time. At the end of each session, you're given a summary sheet that recaps the lesson and guides you through home training until the next week. If you ever have side questions or need a little extra help, they're always willing to help and typically have very quick response times through email. Ripley absolutely loves going to class and loses his mind whenever we load up the car. In the past year, Ripley has gone from zero obedience training and being fearful of everything to being an amazing off-leash hiker/adventurer that really only focuses on me. I couldn't have done that without Paws to Play's help!
If you have a small or elderly dog and you don’t work than this place might be good fit for you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it. The application process is lengthy. We waited 2 months to get our dog in for an evaluation and when we did were told he had too much energy and could only come from 9:30-11:20 for the first 10 times. Which was pointless as we wanted him to get quality play time and give us time to run errands and to get work done. Driving our dog in and picking him up in less then 2 hours ended up being more stress than helpful. Our dog has been going to daycare his whole life and never been an issue. I wish they would have told us from the beginning the daycare catered to smaller and older dogs, so we could have went elsewhere the last two months. I am giving two stars because Dallen did respond quickly when we had questions via email. And it does seem they are trying to create a calm environment for elderly and small dogs.
This is the Only place I leave my pup with ! The staff is so wonderful and treat her so well. It makes it easier when I can't take her with me ☺️
If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. Call this morning that my dog had been attacked during a dog fight and we needed to pick him up. Was told he was a victim. Called our vet and they were already waiting for another dog who had been there that had been attacked.My Golden wouldn't even know how to start a fight. Tried to find out who attacked him. Can't tell you. Who are the owners of the dog that attacked him? Can't tell you. Asked him how many dogs. Can't tell you. What are the plans for the dogs who instigated the fight? Can't tell you, we're sorting it out. Told twice that we signed a waiver. Our dog had to go into surgery for his ear. Lacerations on his neck and chest. Bruises on his shoulders. Over $800.00 bill. It's not the money, it's the idea that they take no responsibility. Found out from the Vet office attached to Paws 4 Play that they also had treated several dogs that day due to the fight. So I ask myself, what the hell went on there and how did this happen?
I was very excited about this day care, but unfortunately had a terrible experience. I took my dog here for their evaluation process, and all of the staff were kind and seemed initially very knowledgeable. Specifically, they seemed to understand that while my dog does enjoy playing with other dogs, he is reactive (i.e., he barks) at other dogs when he is on a leash (something that we have been working on with our trainer for the past year). They called me a few minutes into the evaluation process saying that my dog, and I quote, "tried to eat another dog" and maybe day care wasn't the best place for him. This seemed totally out of character for my dog, who has been to other dog daycares before and done fine. "Eating" another dog implies a bite incident, which is extremely serious and had me concerned. When I asked for more details about the situation, the staff said that my dog just barked and lunged at the other dog when they tried to introduce them on a leash (something that I told them he would do and is the worst way to introduce a reactive dog to another dog). I don't think that this place understands the difference between reactivity and aggression as they were very quick to put my dog in the latter category without actually understanding the situation and dog behavior.
Al and his amazing staff have helped us since 2005 with boarding needs, training needs, including helping a severely damaged rescue dog over come his past fears, and become a great member of society as well as our family. Along with a safe and an amazing time for another rescue dog to run off extra energy with her new puppy Pals at doggie day care. the time and money we have invested with Al and his team and that they've invested in our animals has never been wasted and has made us all better for the effort. If any of my friends ever mention an issue with their dog I always tell them if anyone can help it's going to be Al at Paws to play!💜🐾💜
I highly recommend Paws to Play Daycare. My Shar Pei has been attending Paws to Play for almost six months on a regular basis. The staff care deeply for all of the dogs in their care and it is exhibited in my Shar Pei's excitement as we approach their facility. He cannot wait to visit with the staff and all of his canine friends. Last month I had to board him at the last minute for a week due to a family emergency, and he was taken such great care of so I highly recommend Paws to Play for boarding as well.
I called today to inquire more information about dog boarding. I spoke to Will he seemed very knowledgeable, he answered all my questions and gave me tips on how to make sure my pup stays calm during his visit. I’m definitely considering taking my bulldog there. I really appreciated the time he took to answer all my questions.
It has been an incredibly frustrating experience dealing Paws to Play. I enrolled my two terriers here a few weeks ago prior to listing my house for sale. I filled out the lengthy applications and got the medical records sent in to the business, and took my dogs in for an introductory interview, which seemed to go just fine. However, things took a turn for the worse shortly thereafter. The proprietor is extremely unprofessional and does not respect the customer's needs or schedule. He was difficult to work with, and was unwilling to offer even a basic level of customer service. He even had the nerve to call me and lecture me about how inappropriate it was that I had not been bringing my dogs in to play care more frequently (Sorry, I wasn't aware that I, the customer, was obliged to meet YOUR demands for my business, fella). And when I did bring my dogs a week after his rude and inappropriate phone call, he informed me that he had deleted our account because we had not been frequenting his business enough times...wow, thank you! Great service!!! My dogs have been enrolled in doggy daycare before and did just fine; he made it clear he did not want my business without undergoing a series of aggravating and frustrating interactions. I thought our initial "interview" where my dogs played there for 3 hours and did just fine was sufficient; but no, according to the owner my dogs need lengthy exposure with extreme frequency and regularity (but only in short doses according to this man's schedule) in order for you to patronize his business. Apparently customers exist in this man's universe to serve him and his business, not the other way around. Does it suit your schedule to drop off your dog? Better make sure it suits the owner's as well, otherwise you will get a lecture and pushback from this guy. Do you need to drop of your dog for 4 hours? Sorry, he thinks they should only be left for 2 hours because...reasons?...Do you only have the time or resources to drop your dog(s) off when it is convenient for you? Too bad! If it doesn't suit the owner of Paws to Play, you will not get anything other than crappy service and/or a lecture. I suppose he's better at interacting with animals than he is with people, because I found him to be very aggravating to deal with, and possessing of extremely deficient customer service skills. I hope no other unsuspecting person will have to waste their time and deal with this crummy business like I did. When taking your dogs to this place be prepared for a litany of rules (both written and unwritten--he seems to make rules up as he goes about how/when you can bring your dog in for play care, depending on many factors that are plucked out of thin air by him). You should commit to dropping your dogs off with precise regularity according to the owner's rules and parameters (beware, they seem to change according to his whims), not your needs, your convenience, or your schedule. You should expect a lecture if you deviate from his rules and parameters, or whatever may be going through his head at the moment. My entire experience dealing with this business has been negative from start to finish. I have not felt this exasperated dealing with a business in a long time. If you decide to take your dog to this place, be prepared for hassle, or just save yourself the time and hire a dog walker.
I boarded my two dogs 2 year old and 11 years old for 6 days . The were very well treated and cared for . They came home happy and behaved like normal . I definitely recommend them and will use them again
I have frequently take my dogs there for boarding but I also recently took them for daycare and they loved it! My dogs always come up tired and enjoy it! The staff is so nice and always loves seeing my dogs.
My dog Sadie went twice for dog daycare And it went well. I will do it a couple more times before I leave her overnight. I was very pleased by the service.
This was the first time we boarded our dog at a kennel overnight. Campbells was recommended to us since she doesn't always play well with others and has arthritic hips, so can't play too much anyway. She seemed happy, but glad to see us. I believe she was well taken care of.
My wife and I were taking a day trip to Seattle. Cora (our dog) stayed there Saturday overnight and most of Sunday. When we arrived to drop her off Saturday morning the office had an overwhelming aroma of bleach, but the lady at the front desk seemed nice so I looked past it and there was nothing else out of the ordinary other than the place only having three "parking spots". When we picked our dog up we had to awkwardly wait outside the office (since there is only room for two people in the office), but you could hear what sounded like every dog barking hysterically the whole time we waited. When we received our dog, she was anxious and very excited to leave. She was whining the whole drive home (which is very abnormal) and when she barked you could tell her voice was gone from excessive barking (which is also very abnormal). Then when we got home she drank an entire bowl of water and ran straight to her food bowl. The next day we found a scrape on her leg that took her fur clean off (about the size of a quarter). We have boarded Cora before plenty of times at a place by our old residence and she has always came back happy as can be with absolutely no indication of her not being happy and she usually sleeps for the next day or two from how much she played. My dog is not dead so I won't give you a 1 star, but I will DEFINITELY not be coming back here.
I brought my 2 great danes for doggie day care once a week for 4 weeks so they'd be acclimated for a longer stay. No major problems for the short stays, staff was helpful and polite, and the dogs were gradually getting acclimated. However, I left my dogs for a 3 day stay, Friday through Sunday. Came back to find my dogs completely stressed, outside in 90° heat and no water in sight. The staff returned wet beds with a vomit smell. After getting home we found major rashes on both dogs in the groin area and very bad scrape on my male dane. The owner said he was perplexed about the rashes but thought it might have been caused by the kennel sanitizer. This is extremely alarming as danes do not expose their groin to the floor when laying down, they aren't physically able to and the sanitizer (Wysywash) label strictly states to let the kennel dry before allowing animals back in. The owner admitted his daughters helped but it seems they abused my dogs. I do NOT recommend long term stays here, only daycare.
We board our dogs here every time we go out of town. They are responsible and reliable. They have been in business for over 30 years and is a family-owned business. When we refer our friends we always refer Campbell's kennels. When we leave our babies we know that we can enjoy our vacation knowing that they are in safe hands and that's all that matters.
I've taken my dog Harley here a couple of times, and he seems to really like it there. I couldn't be happier that I found Campbell's kennel! I don't have to worry about him when I'm gone. Thank you!!
Thank you! It was the first time ever we left our boxer in any kennel. He spent 3 days there. The staff was very nice! They responded to my calls and provided feedback about our boy!
We have been with Campbell’s Kennels since March 2020, it was our first time using this kind of services for my brother in law’s dog since he can’t bring it to schooling and we wanted to make sure that the dog will be in a safe place with good people. And I am glad that we chose this kennel. During the peak of the pandemic, they still opened their kennels and have been very patient and accommodating with our schedule. We bring our dog to stay for 3-4 days and so far he has been the same good dog except for he’s always excited to go to this kennel, probably because he has found new friends 😁 I would definitely recommend this kennel to all of the people who needs this kind of services!
This family run business is the best in town. Socializing is important and all dogs are initially tested on how they will fit in (and if). Great care of our dogs, Fred and Lola.
They LOVE dogs. And they're good "at" dogs. And they're good at training (coaching) owners.
First time having my dog board in general!! Scary for me because I've never been out of town but thankfully this place took her in last minute and gave us a tour to see how she would do, she did very well!. Amazing customer service too. During my vacation I was updated per my request of how overall she did and that meant alot!! THANKS TONS:))
Friendly people, great facilities, and my dog always comes home happy and exhausted.
This is doggy Disneyland. Left my two beloved golden doodles for 10 days and came back happy and tired. We now do doggy daycare at least once a week. They run to the door so excited to play with their friends. When picking them up, they are equally happy. Best place in town!
I was recently between houses and didnt have anyone to watch my cats. Queensgate Pet Inn worked with me with when I could bring my cats in, how much it would be, and were okay with them being there for an extended stay. :) They encourage you to visit your pets if you're not out of town and some days, were even able to let me come see them while they were closed. I can tell my cats were well taken care of while they were boarded and I'm really happy with this experience!
Just had to have my dog watched for an hour or so, easy to get to and easy to pick up. As long as you communicate with them things will go smoothly
Our dog Luna has fallen in love with this place! She can't wait to play with her puppy pals. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I trust them more than some of my friends.
Our little Buddy has been here for hours at a time and for 3-5 weeks at a time. He is excited and eager to go in every time he’s there & just as eager to go home when we pick him up. That says it all! Great people, great interaction, great home away from home!
This is the one kennel where I don't have to worry about my dog being treated like a dog, here she is family. She usually gets very severe separation anxiety, but she doesn't mind the K-Nine -Kat Kingdom. It is the one place I can leave her, without feeling guilty. I highly recommend this kennel. My only complaint is they don't take credit cards.
Our pooches love going there. One in particular has more fun there than anywhere else. It makes me feel good leaving our furkids there.
Wonderful folks! They took great care of our dog! Very impressive and well maintained kennel. Happy to find them, will continue to be their customer.
My Canelo stayed here while I went to my sister’s wedding. No complaints.
Our dog loves going! Highly recommend Sunshine Doggy resort!
Travis and Desi should go down in the dog kennel hall of fame. We love taking our exuberant German Shepherd Mischa there, and more importantly she loves going. My mom is terminally ill so our schedule is as unpredictable as you can get. Travis and Desi have taken our dog in on short notice several times. They are always happy to see her and love on her like she was one of their own. We used their grooming service too, and wow our beautiful dog came back looking and smelling even better. We also appreciate their kindness as they always want to know how our family is doing. Sunshine's Doggy Resort is what you want in a business that takes care of your furry family.
We recently took our 6 month old lab/Shepard puppy here for a 4 day stay and he loved it! I was a nervous mamma about leaving him but felt confident after visiting the kennel prior to leaving him. My husband and I took a tour and met Travis a few days before we needed to go away. Everything was clean and the dogs looked happy. The play areas are large and well looked after. I called Travis during the 4 days to check in on my baby and he was so kind. Told me how he was doing and the names of the friends he was playing with- sweet. Our dog came home happy, we’ll cared for. We will be sending him to Sunshine’s again in the future.
These guys are really dedicated to your pets well being and comfort. They bound to your pets as they were family, we are from overseas and travelled a lot, had pets all the times but if you need someone to take care of your animals while you need to do things your pets can't be with you this is the best place for your beloved family - members. Thanks guys for your outstanding service and see you soon.
What great people to work with. Attaching their hours because I couldn't ever remember what they were. Despite this they were always willing to work with me and take care of our dog like it was their own. Great rates, and while she was happy to come home, you could tell she enjoyed it since the next time she was still excited to go. Would definitely recommend and will be bringing the dog again and again.
Friendly people that seem to really care about the dogs. Prices are good. Our dog seems to like it there.
My 17 month old moose (92 pounds) of lab puppy, Ollie, stayed with Travis and Dessie for a week and I think he really enjoyed it because every time I take him outside he wants to get in the car! He wants to go back! You have to understand that this dog is a handful, full of energy and into everything (I opened the back of the car to take his bag out when we got home and he grabbed a box of Kleenex and took off around the garage!) and both Travis and Dessie seemed to enjoy his antics. Thank you for taking great care of our fur kid. I think we all enjoyed the vacation. We will be back!
EDIT: Y'all... the owner of this business called me today and literally tried to convince me that my sweet boy is a hazard to my family, and to reconsider my negative review of this business. To be clear, he's been boarded at their facility when my family has traveled for THREE YEARS and we've received nothing but accolades for his sweetness and behavior from this business. I've raised this pup since he was a starving baby and he has known nothing but love and kindness since coming to my home. He has been around countless small children and smaller animals and has shown ZERO signs of aggression. This is discrimination and prejudice from this business's owners without a doubt. Brought my two sweet pups here for three years only to be denied service because they changed their policy and now discriminate breeds. The staff called me to cancel my reservation because they had an incident where a pitty attacked a cat. What kind of pet boarding establishment allows dogs near cats in the first place?
I usually have been bringing my dog here and he loves it here. Except the last 2 times he has been getting sores on his 2 back paws not a good look when I leave him for a couple of days and come home to a dog in pain.
Our dog loves this place! She comes here for day care as well as boarding long term. Staff is caring and pays attention to her needs.
We have been taking our dogs here for a few months when we go out of town. The staff is friendly and helpful. Making reservations is easy because of their website. We have been very pleased with the care our dogs have received.
Our dog Ranger is so excited to come here! I love the staff and they are really sweet to our dog. Caring, professional, and the facility is clean. They have even been able to bathe and trim tonails for Ranger (who doesn't normally like this type of attention). 😊 He comes home calm, happy, with a normal appetite and sleepy from the excitement.
They do a great job taking care my dog.
It was amazing to find a boarding kennel place while I had to be gone for my dad's funeral. If you are looking for a great place to take care of your dog or dogs while you are gone this is the place. My dog loved it here and was well taken care of. I will be using them for now on while I am having to go somewhere for a long weekend or a period of time away.
Highly discriminatory on dog breeds. I cannot recommend ever doing business with this establishment.
Had a great experience boarding my dog here! I was very anxious about it and they were more than happy to give me an updated when I called. Corey especially did a great job, she checked us in and out and was super comforting anytime I wanted to check on my dog. I would not hesitate to board my dog here again!!
Second time boarding our dog - the first time was with another local kennel that we had a bad experience with so we were very hesitant but I heard about Columbia River Kennels from a colleague who highly recommended them. Super happy with our service! Loved the option to add a bath and extra play time.
