Independent, responsible, flexible and super chill!!
It was really great having Jeremy stay at our house for over a week with our dog. Incredibly friendly, reliable, and organized. We came home to a spotless house! Highly recommend, 10 outta 10!!!

-Not currently sitting - We are moving to the owner side of zeewoi now!
Amanda & Jacob were AMAZING! They were so proactive with our cats in making sure the cats acclimated to them. My cat Biscuit who doesn’t take to strangers, became bff’s with them after a day and a half which is not normal for her. The apartment was left cleaner than when we left I was stunned. It felt amazing knowing our babies were in such good hands.

Trustworthy, fun-loving, warm, independent lady who loves animals
Rachel was a wonderful house and cat sitter. She was very communicative. From the photos, it seemed my 2 cats adored her! I would have Rachel back in a heartbeat!

Animal lover, house attender, world traveler
Val is one of our favorite kitty and house sitters and we are always excited to have her back. She is proactive about finding out what works best for us communication wise before we leave (what medium/platform, how often we’d prefer a checkin, etc). She also asks any clarifying questions about the house or cats and proactively tackles any issues she sees (for example, helping to give some outdoor plants some extra hydration amidst a heat wave or changing batteries in a dying CO2 monitor). Most importantly we always come back to kitties that are so zen because they’ve had a great attentive companion. Val has also shown extra care to our fam with info and recommendations from her own experience following a diagnosis we got for one of our cats. Thank you again Val!

Your next friendly home-helper & pet-sitter
Allie is the best! So sweet and trustworthy, and very sweet with my fur babies. She gave me frequent updates with photos, and not only did she leave my apartment super clean and tidy when she left, but she also left me flowers and cookies 🥹

Maren was great! Communicative, reliable, sent frequent updates, and left the place very clean and tidy. Asked good questions and clarified with us about any time away from home, etc. to make sure Willie’s needs were met. Seemed to get along great with Willie. Would have Maren back any time to take care of Willie and our home.

Carie took wonderful, thoughtful and gentle care of our senior cat and took great care of our home as well. Carie was responsive, reliable, conscientious and easy to communicate with. We would welcome her back any time.

James was great and so appreciated his extra care and patience with Simba. He braved a crazy heat wave and great at communicating.

Scottish import, professional & highly experienced caregiver.
Debs was so gracious when we made multiple changes to our sit plans at the last minute. She was flexible when we delayed our departure date and was enthusiastic about adding caring for our new rescue pup to her responsibilities. She came for a meet and greet a few weeks before the sit and showed up early on the first day to ensure the dog was comfortable. We appreciate having a wonderful local sitter and would love to have Debs stay at our house and care for our pets again.

Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $5/day per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
We HIGHLY recommend Julie!! She is absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies and every dog she cares for. They will feel like and beloved like they are at home. She goes above and beyond of what I have experienced with other doggy daycare and boarding. My boys get super excited about going to see her.
Can’t say enough good things about Julie!! She treats my dogs like they are her own and they LOVE going to her house! She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and is extra skilled at taking care of the little ones (mine are 5 and 7 pounds). Love love Julie!!
Julie is amazing with my boys. They love her and have so much fun playing with all of their friends. She provides all the comforts of home, everything is very clean with lots of attention and detail to providing a safe and fun atmosphere for dogs! I love all the photos she sends!!
Julie is AWESOME!!!! We haven't cut our dogs nails for YEARS because he hates to have it done and no one seems to be able to do it!! Julie jumped right in and literally did it in NO time at all and my dog had no problem at all. Thank you so much Julie!
We ABSOLUTELY adore Julie & her pet service. She is wonderful with the animals. We would recommend her highly to anyone! Cupcake loves her!
Julie is 100% professional, and also treats our pup like a family member. Our dog loves it there!
Kody loves to go to Aunt Julie’s. He loves her, and he loves all his little doggie friends there. He has a great time there. She treats all the dogs as her own family members.
Julie is the absolute best! She is so good at trimming our labs nails and is so kind and caring!
The most amazing dog sitting place ever. Julie has a true passion for little creatures. She is the original dog whisperer!!
Julie is a great dogsitter. My dog can't wait to go see her!
We recently discovered Zoe and Jonathan's Double Dog Ranch. Our Bernedoodle, Smudge, loves it there; just look at him running and jumping and having a great time. Smudge always comes home worn out from playing with the other doggie guests. We will definitely be bringing Smudge back for more time on the Ranch!
Double Dog Ranch is the ideal place to board canine family members. Jonathan and Zoe have created an amazing environment where dogs thrive. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
Our dogs are happiest when they are at the ranch. They get excited the second we pull up and love to run and play with Jonathan and the other dogs. One of our dogs is a little high anxiety and Jonathan is great about knowing when she needs a time out or office cuddles. And both come home healthy, happy, and exhausted.
DDR is simply awesome! Our German Shepherd loves it. It's like Disney World for dogs: lots of room to run, things to chew, toys to climb ... The owners are fantastic. I am so very glad a friend recommended them, and I in turn would gladly do the same.
My dog loves going to DDR. And we are so happy to see all the Instagram photos while we are traveling that show the pups having so much fun together. This place is the best!
Double Dog is an awesome boarding experience for your dog! Zoe and Jonathan take incredible care of your pup. Their place is clean and the landscaping is beautiful. Can't wait to go back!
I never feel guilty about not taking my dog on a trip when she gets to have her own fun at Double Dog Ranch. When she gets on the shuttle bus, she knows she's in for a good time. She gets to play in the open field with other friendly dogs, greet the llama and other animals next door and hang out with Zoe and Jonathon who love every dog as if they were their own.
Double Dog Ranch Oregon is now second home to our German Shepherd, Coco. She loves it there, and she loves Zoe and Jonathan so much it makes us confident and happy to give her "spa breaks" there. As we drive closer, Coco watches through the window and vocalizes her excitement, then runs from the truck to greet her second family. Zoe and Jonathan have hearts big and warm enough for all their guests, but Coco is confident she's their favorite. Best. Dog. Spa. Ever!
I'd give them six stars if I could. The owners are extremely passionate about dogs and very nice people. Their facility is an old dairy farm converted to use for dogs. There's a lot of covered, heated area for rainy days or a big open field for sunny days. Our German Shepherd is always happy to show up there and in a great mood when we pick him up. I'd recommend DDR to ANYONE.
Jonathan and Zoe cared about my rancher as if she was their own. I was nervous about leaving her but when we went for a meet and greet, Jonathan put my worries at ease. Great place to take the fur kid when on vacation.
Shadow had such a great time! We boarded him for five days, he got daycare each day, and we were able to see him on the camera and his kennel. They are our new go to!
Wonderful staff, friendly and inviting for our dog. Always willing to give tips for dog care questions. My dacshund is always happy with daycare and boarding. Highly recommend Ruff House.
When we arrive to Rruff house Maple suddenly forgets her manners, jumps over the partition in the car, suddenly doesn't know the word "sit" or "stay" anymore and is just ready to play all day -- just how the slogan goes. When she gets inside she gets so excited she nearly falls. My puppy is so happy here. The staff are such compassionate caregivers to the dogs and overall approachable and friendly. Its been a one off for services, day care and toys. Very grateful for Rruff House!
I was in the liquidator store next door when my 8 month old puppy jumped out of my truck and proceeded to run out into Industrial Way with trucks and cars going by. This fast acting woman working at RUFF House opened the door and caught the attention of my dog who then ran to her and inside the building. Her fast actions and quick thinking saved me from a potential tragedy. I’m forever greatful for her kind and quick actions!
Had the pleasure of boarding our 2 English bulldogs for the first time last week. . The dogs seemed like they had a fun time, and the staff were very friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend Rruff house.
Took my 3 large dogs (2 Huskies and Malamute) all at the same time for a spa day... Tgey look great nails included. All for $51.00. Office/ shop looks great, lots of room for the dogs to rompand play whike they waited. Staff was great as well as the owners. Very nice and personable. Would highly recommend them for ours to come and give this new business a try. I will be back for sure.... They played so much they where tired 2 hrs after we got home, as you can see nap time....
Rruff House is the best they love my baby girl and take great care of her. I highly recommend Rruff House to any fur baby owners looking for a place they trust to leave their fur babies to play and socialize.
When looking for a place where you can take your fir puppy to be boarded while out of town, you don't think about what would happen if your dog had an emergency. When my puppy started showing signs of a medical emergency, RH contacted me immediately and drove down to Vancouver to wait for hours by the emergency vet that he was stable and that they would call when they had an opening, so Molly took Bogey back a stayed with him all night until they could see the Vet in the morning. The Vet sent her to a different pet hospital and determined that Bogey needed surgery to remove the blockage. Being 1000's miles away this is terrifying to any Dog Mom. Molly and her team cared for Bogey like he was their own. It turned out that he had eaten grass and dirt that had created a fist-sized ball that got stuck in the intestine. I don't know of any place that would go above and beyond and care for him like their own, like RH did. I will be forever grateful. I will only take my dog to them for all of his training, daycare, and boarding needs. If you are reading this review, that most likely means you are looking for a place for training, daycare, or boarding. This is the place you want your baby to be.
Let me start by saying our dog is our baby and we are ridiculously protective of her, so leaving her at the Rruff House the first time or two made me very anxious. Silly me!! She absolutely LOVES it there. She starts wagging and whimpering with excitement as soon as she knows we’re going to her “school.” The staff there is knowledgeable and caring, and their communication is excellent. She goes to daycare 2-3 half days per week. We also get her groomed there, and have boarded her there several times. The Rruff House is amazing! There’s no other place I will ever take her.
Best place in town to board your pets. They offer enrichment exercises that are awesome for your pets mind. And if you need some training help they cover that too. They truly love each and every animal they care for and make them feel like family.
We've been taking my Golden here since he was a puppy for trips to the amusement or water park and other vacations. He's just happier here with a huge common area and fenced in area to run and socialize with other dogs. They keep extra eyes on behaviors just in case but I've never had an issue. They send pictures while he stays of him playing. It is out in the country a bit but super easy to get to off I-5 and I feel safer and more comfortable knowing he's not locked in a cage all day. Worth the drive and they are very reasonable prices
Best groomers in the PNW. Kind and loving. I drive from Vancouver to CCC to have my senior pup groomed. Would never think about taking her anywhere else.
Very nice and warming groomers and very affordable my puppy Lucy when I say it's time for her bath and nail trimming she's ready to go with her little tail straight up and wagging like there was no time to waste and her ears straight up and let's go DADDY !!Columbia canine cottage is and will be her once a month visit and who ever takes care of her for me are just exceptional individuals and always happy to see her and adore her she's worse than my 30year old daughter but she's all I have and you know what ya she's spoiled rotten I highly recommend anyone looking for a professional groomer Columbia canine cottage is your right place to take your pet for grooming thank you C.C.C greatly appreciated mark and lucy
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have a 5 year old Samoyed and know how difficult her coat can be. We have been to at least half a dozen groomers in her life, and never found somewhere as great as Columbia Canine Cottage. I was referred by a friend of mine and got in touch with Keely who is absolutely amazing. She makes myself and my dog feel so comfortable at drop off. She is so sweet and loving to my dog, which is super important to me because my dog has separation anxiety. Keely will text me pictures of my dog during or after the groom to show me how things went. When I pick my dog up, she does not show any signs of stress, only excitement upon seeing me. Keely also makes time to sit and talk with me after the groom to let me know how things go. She does not ever make me feel rushed or unheard and instead reassures all my worries. She also has my groom completed in around 2 hours which is mind blowing because other places will have my dog for 4-5 hours. She does an amazing job with the wash, blow dry and brush, and trims up the paws and sanitary area. I am thankful that she does not trim parts of my dog that she shouldn't (as other groomers have done before). I have started to use them for more than just grooming, because I know my dog is comfortable there. I have started leaving her for the day, or "doggy day care", to let her get more comfortable with the other dogs and being there for longer periods of time. I feel very comfortable leaving her for longer periods of time and will be taking advantage of their boarding program for my next trip. Again, so thankful to have found this place! Thanks for always taking such great care of my baby girl<3
My dog loves it here! She barely looked back at me the last time I dropped her off. I love all the photo updates I get seeing her make friends and being so happy. I was worried she might like it better than home but I think she just feels like it’s an actual vacation for her 💛 …
I was having surgery in Seattle and left two of my dogs at CCC. They seemed very happy and very well taken care of. I was a little nervous leaving them since we’ve never been apart, but I was sent photos on a daily basis. They seemed to be in good spirits when I picked them up. I’ll use them again :) Thanks CCC!
Best dog boarding facility I've ever seen. Lots of places like to lie about how much time the dogs spend in cages. This place has staff 24/7, and the dogs are only caged up when someone arrives for drop-off or pickup. They just run as a pack all day, and sleep on couches and beds with a person at night. They have a van to pick up dogs for day care to run around with the pack, only costs like $2 an hour. They also have grooming, my standard poodle loves it there and the groom is the cheapest I've found.
Wonderful caring staff. We've used this place many times with several dogs and it's always been a success. Can't praise them enough, for both boarding and grooming services.
This is our choice every time we need boarding services, and for years our dogs have had exceptional care. They come home excited and happy, and Kurt has made sure to promptly answer any questions we have had. His employees are kind, caring and our dogs love each one. This is where to go for any boarding needs!
Can't say enough great things about Columbia Canine Cottage. They do a great job with our pup, Cheddar, who seems to do well in their care. They send us regular updates and unlike so many boarding places they aren't spending most of their days cooped up, but being loved and cared for by the staff.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Susie's is a great place to board your pet. They are so kind! It's always a good sign when your fur friend is pulling you across the parking lot to go inside. We love these guys and have had nothing but positive experiences.
Really great boutique and Dog Daycare from set up, my rating is based on the groom job we received. Everyone is very kind, we were able to get in quickly (within a week) but we were disappointed in our groom. Our girl was pretty grungy, but when basic Paws, sanitary trim, and ears weren't even done as part of the package we asked for. It looks like they just took a pair of clippers with a long groom and went all over, not a technical haircut at all- even so her paws look like Dr Seuss critters and there was no cleaning up or evening her face, and she is much longer than what we asked for as well. Positives, she's cleaner, smells better and clipped down a little bit, and the girls there are really kind!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is! The employees are so caring and the owners are so helpful, I’m very thankful that we have somewhere to take our little Yorky, Melvin, knowing that he will be cared for a great environment!
Love them. Friendly, courteous service. They take great care with my dog with giving her a bath or day care. Love them.
Love this place! Owner is super cool and really knowledgeable.
Great place
Thank you so so much! <3 Please let us know if we can help you further.
We could not be happier with Kelly and her team! My dogs are always happy to go stay at Lone Pine. We know that Roxy and Riley are always well taken care of, and we are never worried while they are in Kelly's care. We whole heartedly recommend Lone Pine Kennels to anyone looking for a caring boarding or daycare facility for their furry family members. Tracy and Paul Wisniewski
In August of 2021 my husband and I paid for a: Non-Refundable Puppy Pick Order Payment $300.00. We live out of state (Kansas), and had one phone call from Kelly to interview us to be potential buyers for a puppy. It’s been 3 years and I haven’t heard another word. We feel like we were scammed.
Kelly always go above and beyond when dropping off our dog. She’s so easy to deal with. Recommend her and her facility to anyone looking. Never any issues and she’s right off 1-5.
We have boarded our dog there several times and love Kelly and her boarding facilities! This facility is located about 25 miles from our home but is well worth the drive to board our dog. Our dog is always happy to go in when we take him. The staff always follows our instructions for feeding and caring for him. We highly recommend this facility to anyone who wants a caring place to board their pet.
Our 2 labs just spent 8 days here over Christmas. 100% will recommend to anyone needing to board their dogs. We will definitely be using them again in the future.
Kelli and her team are amazing ! We have one of her puppies named Sailor and Kelli helped us thru the whole process with a caring, understanding and professional way ! Sailor is amazing and we keep in contact with Kelli and is always a joy to see her and her facility. We would highly recommend Kelli and Lone Pine to anyone who is interested in going thru a amazing experience getting a Puppy or a dog from Kelli! Ron Erdahl
Kelly and company provide excellent boarding and grooming services. Mazy had a UTI, that I hadn't caught, and Kelly was quick to take her to the vet for treatment. This kennel also has day care and we take Mazy for both play, fun and socialization. Kelly carefully evaluates all dogs for compatibility and supervises them. The facilities are clean, and heated and air conditioned. Needless to say, we think this kennel is great and feel confident that our girl is being expertly cared for.
Clean and caring. Our dogs are happy to go and never stressed when we pick them up. We have King Charles Cavalier and a 5lb terrier mix. They both are happy and well taken care of.
Very organized and clean operation. We purchased a puppy toured the whole place, staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Dogs seemed happy when we picked them up and everything went smoothly.
If you're looking for an alternative to the impersonal experience of using an app to find a random pet sitter - I can't recommend Leave It To Shoo! highly enough. She's easy to set up with (just 1 short visit to determine pet needs) and very communicative while you're away - provides daily updates and pictures of your pets. (Examples pictured) My pets were loved and taken care of by Shoo while I was away - and that's all than you can ask for!
We have had the best experience possible with Leave it to Shoo for the past 3 years. It is such peace of mind to know that our cat is being so well taken care of while we are away. Shoo has the key to our home on a permanent basis; we trust her implicitly. She always either answers her phone or gets back right away when we need to book her. She never has a problem working us into her schedule. Shoo brings in the mail, makes sure the house is secure, and always leaves a note and extra food and water for our cat on the last day. The litter box and surrounding area are kept immaculate. We can tell that Olaf has had a great time while we are gone because he is not vocal or clinging when we get back! They play together and Shoo gives him lots of love. We have no hesitation recommending Leave it to Shoo for in-home pet care!
Sharon was absolutely wonderful with all our animals (fish, parrot, cats, dog)! She sent us daily pictures and updates on how everybody was doing while my family was absent, and communicated very quickly and competently in handling a prickly situation with our not-too-friendly dog. She reads animal behavior very well, is very responsible and resourceful, and we highly recommend her services.
Shoo's been our go-to cat sitter for several years and has been great! She sends daily updates with pictures and keeps our plants alive as well. She is super reliable and responds very quickly. We'll definitely continue using her services for years to come!
Shoo is the BEST! My cat is afraid of everything and everyone, and he warmed up to her right away. She took great care of him while I was away for 2 weeks, and gave me such peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend
Sharon is amazing! I recently moved to the area and, on a short notice, had to find a pet-sitter for my dog and a cat for a few days. Sharon took such a good care of them! My dog can be a little mischievous, so Sharon even built "a fort", so my dog wouldn't get to the cat's stuff. When I got back, pets looked happy and well taken care of. Sharon kept in touch me regularly, informing on how everything is. She definitely does more than just pet-sitting - she even texted me to make sure I landed ok and am safe on the way home. Thank you, Sharon! We just love you!
Sharon is an excellent pet sitter. Sharon pet sat for a week. She took special care of my kitty (a cancer survivor) who needed daily medication. In addition she took care of 2 other cats, and 2 rabbits. Daily she texted me with an update and made helpful suggestions. When I got home, the kitchen was spotless and the animals well cared for. I would use her again.
Shoo is very professional, gives attention to detail, and is a very caring provider for animals. Along with myself, several family members have also used her services. We have known Shoo even before she went into this business, and we trust her completely with our home and animals.
Shoo is great with our 3 cats. She has been cat sitting for us for a few years now and they love her! She is very professional and easy to get ahold of. I am so happy we found her!
Sharon is the best pet sitter. My 2 cats love her.She keeps me informed of what's going on. She texts me pictures.She also is nice to bring in my mail or water my flower pots. Those little things mean a lot.
Great doggy day care here! They offer pick-up and drop-offs during the weekdays and play with them all day to get their energy out while we are at work. They also offer overnight stays. Very helpful and friendly staff 🐶 …
I'm 72, and I can't give my pup more than two walks per day, so the dog ranch a couple of days per week is a perfect addition to keep my pup exercised. Plus he loves going!
PDR is awesome!!! Tons of fun for my boy and he’s always coming home happy and tired. He’s been a regular for years and always is stoked about playing at the ranch
My Dog LOVES this place! Mel and Cameron are very nice with great customer service skills. I can tell when they come to pick my dog up that they treat him very well. He’s always super excited to see them.
Boarded our 2.5 year old black lab here for 10 days. We were a little nervous that her first time there was 10 days. When we picked her up, she was excited to see us but as soon as she got in the car she was antsy staring back at the front gate wanting to go back already! Prices are reasonable, especially with the accommodations provided! I can’t think of another place your dog will get more freedom or socialization the PDR. We plan to use PDR any time we need dog boarding in the future!
Great service, our dog had a terrific day
Dipstick absolutely loves this place! It is the perfect place to socialize, and "run with the pack". Brian is a wonderful guy, and his prices are comparable to the so-called "doggy daycares" that are in small old business buildings. I recommend this place all day every day!
Such a great dog park. Worth the drive if you're out of town a few days. Dogs came back happy and so tired! Plus for a bit extra they'll wash them for you 👌 …
Our kids go every Monday, rain or shine! The almighty Bark Bus rolls up like the circus rolling into a small midwestern town, we open the front door and Cooper and Biscuit are out the door, down the driveway and into the days adventure like kids to an ice cream truck. They come home so happy and then they collapse and don’t move for the rest of the day! Mission accomplished! We’ve been sending them to Brian for years and it’s an essential part of our dog family life! And did I mention he does boarding at a very reasonable rate. He’s a dog saint.
Our dog loves it at Paradise Dog Ranch. He gets to spend his days running around with his K-9 buddies and goes crazy as soon as he realizes he is headed there. Brian does a great job with the dogs and will always be our first choice.
I always had trouble leaving my cat at pet hotels, until I found Tiny’s! They treated my sweet boy like a king, I picked him up and he was happy, energetic and very well fed. He usually leaves hotels very depressed, that was not the case here. I cannot stress enough just how amazing the service was. He had his personal room, but was consistently let out to explore the facility. He had his own cat tree, scratcher and litter box. They also sent me updates of him consistently as well, which added an extra layer of peace of mind while away. If you’re not sure where to leave your fur baby, I promise you this is the place!
We were having some work done at our home and needed to find a place to board our fur baby. We spoke with the owner Denise and toured the location. At Tiny's each cat gets their own room. Accommodations come with a bed, litter box, cat tree and a bubble window for them to lay in and look around. They take turns letting each cat guest out of their room to roam around, if they desire. Our cat stayed at Tinys for 3 nights and was in no hurry to leave upon pick up. We appreciated the daily photos and updates, which helped ease my anxiety about leaving him. He even received a gift bag with goodies when he departed. Thank you all for taking such good care of our Gatito!!
Tiny's Place took great care of our two cats while we were traveling for over a week. The room setup worked well for our scaredy cat, who always needs a retreat where he feels safe. They are clearly committed to the cats in their care, as well as helping improve the lives of cats beyond their boarding facility.
My two elderly cats stayed together at Tiny’s this past weekend for 5 nights! Everything went so smoothly. Staff was ready and waiting at check in, made sure my two had their own bedding in place, familiarized themselves with the things I brought: dry food, wet food pouches, snacks (treats), toys, food bowls. While I was gone, they sent several pics. Checkout went just as smoothly. My kitties seemed like they had a great time and were well cared for. Worth every penny.
I had to find a safe place to host my five month old kitten while I needed an unplanned hospital stay. I was so glad to have been recommended Tiny's Place and that there was availability. I knew from the first conversation I had with Denise that my Finley would be safe and well cared for while I was away. Staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. We will return for any future needs.
I am so happy and thankful I found Tinys and left my cat for a couple weeks. They sent me pictures and kept me up to date during my trip. Owners are kind and I will definitely recommend to everyone and will use again!
Trigger Warning: Traumatic Injury and Euthanasia *Update - owner says in comment below from their POV cat left intact because husband did not say anything when he picked her up. She did not walk until she exited the carrier. The cat was dropped off with no skeletal injury and came home with a spiral fracture on her left hind tibia and fibula. The fact the owner insinuates anything other than that is another reminder to take your business and your pet's life elsewhere. We left our cat at Tiny's healthy and able to walk over the weekend, and upon pick-up she was unable to walk with a severe inoperable injury and we were forced to euthanize her over severe pain. Please - our guilt at leaving our baby at this business is heavy, so please be sure to do your due diligence when thinking about leaving your loved one here. Our 19 year-old sweet baby grey girl had recently gone blind and we had to leave her over the weekend with Tiny's place for a second time. The first time was without incident. This time, she was dropped off on a Friday afternoon in good health other than blindness and generally a bit slower than her last visit. She has not jumped on anything for several months as her blindness set in. We received one photo (attached) of our girl on Monday evening where she appears unwell. On Tuesday afternoon, we picked her up at closing time (5pm) and her blanket was full of urine. When we got home and she left the carrier, she had a severe limp on her left hind leg. We took her to the urgent care at our vet, who x-rayed and diagnosed a spiral fracture of the tibia/fibula of her left hind leg (picture attached), an injury often seen in traumatic motor vehicle accidents or large amounts of twisting force. The vet said the break looked indicative of being stepped on or pulled while the leg was in place. It was deemed inoperable and she was given pain medication and the opinion to euthanize to end her suffering as the most humane option. When we called Tiny's, Kendrick was not aware of any such injury despite the severity of it (it was very obvious when she walked with a severe limp and she needed help to use the litter box). Denise the owner called back promptly and denied knowing anything about such a severe injury. She said that Kendrick was adamant about cleaning bedding twice a day, but we picked up at closing and her bed was urine-soaked. She mentioned first that Angel did not leave the enclosure all weekend, but then said later that she did walk to the threshold to drink water. We gathered her belongings and spent the evening looking at pictures, sharing songs from favorite memories with her, showing her her favorite old toys, letting our daughter and family members say goodbye, and helping her to the bathroom and took her on her last walk in my arms at sunset. I talked through all of the different cities and homes she had lived with me throughout my 20s and 30s - she knew me from college and as I transformed into who I am today. It was so difficult to say goodbye so suddenly and to have to make that decision when she was healthy in other regards - it was terrible. We will never know exactly what happened, but we do know that we'll never get our time with our girl back or our vet bill for diagnostics and end of life care. She had 9 lives - she first survived living on the streets when I adopted her at 6 weeks old in 2003, and since then has overcome hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, getting lost in another country, blindness - so to have this be her ending when it wasn't her time yet was so hard. I recommend thoroughly vetting your boarding choices - there are choices that pay high attention to your loved ones in the Portland/Vancouver area and might be able to report to you how such a traumatic injury happened in their care. Or consider in-home care instead - we will only do that moving forward if we get a new furry friend.
First and foremost, THANK YOU to the entire Tiny's staff for loving and caring for our baby Solomon; we are so very grateful, and customers for life now! We would give Tiny's 10 stars if we could! To know that we have such an amazing cats only boarding facility near us brings us great joy and comfort. We can go on a vacation, and know that Solomon is in excellent hands. 🙏🏼 We were worried because Solomon had never been away from us for longer than a night, so we truly did not know what to expect. Our expectations were exceeded though; all worry flew out the window. Also, thank you so much for the bag of goodies upon picking him up. He just loves his new blue mouse! 💙 His very first cat toy was a blue mouse actually, and he would play with that blue mouse even after it was missing most of its fur, it's eyes, it's ears, it's tail; nothing but a little falling apart pea body left, lol. P.S. We were so tired; 2 hours of sleep, and adjusting back to PST upon picking him up, that we forget his medication, and we would have forgot our heads too, were they not attached to our bodies! His medication was actually delivered to our front door! That is AWESOME service; above and beyond, and definitely worthy of noting 📝 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! 😻
WOW! So excited to have found a wonderful, caring, "homey" place for our sweet kitties to spend a couple of weeks while we were on vacation during the last two weeks! We were fretting about what we would do with our precious brother/sister bonded pair of young kitties as we were planning our vacation, and we were so fortunate to have happened upon Tiny's Place in Hazel Dell. We took the time to make an appointment for a visit before we decided to board them there, and we were so impressed with the thoughtful and well designed facility and especially the staff, who are obvious kitty lovers and so attentive to the cats left in their professional care. We loved that we received very frequent updates and PHOTOS (yay!) of our kitties enjoying their stay, exploring their new environment, playing with their toys, napping in their hideaways, and watching "bird television," which they loved! We appreciated the regular updates on how they were doing and especially how they were adapting to their home-away-from-home, since we've never left them anywhere since we got them as kittens about 18 months ago. One of our kitties is shy and sensitive to noises and sudden movements, and he adapted so well and so quickly to his new environment that we quickly relaxed knowing that he was going to be okay in his new digs while we were away. It made it possible for us to really enjoy our vacation, knowing just how well our kitties were being cared for. Knowing they were safe and happy meant the world to us! When my husband came to pick them up upon our return a couple of days ago, it was almost as if they didn't want to leave -- they were that happy being at Tiny's! We want to thank the great staff at Tiny's for caring as much for our kitties as we care for them at our home. They obviously were well attended. We will be boarding our kitties at Tiny's when we go on our next vacation, since we know it will be a great vacation for them as well -- they will get to binge on bird TV! :-)
From the initial phone call, I was comforted, with leaving my lil guy here. When we arrived it was so much more than I could've hoped. 10 stars out of five. Amazing people and well kept and well maintained establishment.
Steve is GREAT. We had to board our cats long term while we hunted for an apartment, and although it was super hard to be away from them, Steve took good care of our babies. He let us come visit them whenever we wanted, which made a HUGE difference. At first we thought boarding them wasn't an option because of how expensive everyone was, and we thought we were going to be forced to give them away, but thankfully we found Steve. He provides a wonderful service at a price normal people can afford haha. Not to mention he is just the nicest guy! Trust him with your babies :)
I was reading other reviews. If your happy... put 5 stars. if never used dont put a review. Mr. Makinster is a great guy and he keeps his place fairly clean. Never seen the cat area but I know my dog and past dog are and were happy. Never came back sick and his prices are great. Keep it up Steve.
I went to see the facility to potentially board my cats and I was VERY disappointed. The cat area was awful concrete floor no windows very dark dirty and unheated during the summer. It still gets cold overnight. The reception area was absolutely filthy- dead bugs lined the shelves cobwebs dirt. On the other hand his dog boarding areas were immaculate well fenced . i couldnt figure it out but i did not take my cats to be boarded in a dark dirty dungeon room. Just my experience. The owner was a very nice man though - not paticularly professional - very "country". His cat boarding prices are so little compared to other places- I was considerimg using his place because i live in the proximity- but i would not put my cats there but a dog definitely.
Steve takes good care of the animals my lab hershey liked him so that said a lot
Juliet, my mini schnauzer, comes back home happy and healthy after her stay!
Buddy's happy, we're happy! Great price too.
