Excellent - Highly Recommend! We recently had the pleasure of having Abeela take care of our home and Toby the Cat while we were away, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Abeela took the time to understand Toby’s routines and habits, which gave us great peace of mind. During our time away, she provided regular updates and photos/videos of Toby, which was incredibly fun. It was clear that he was well-loved and in great hands. When we returned home, we found everything in perfect order—clean, tidy, and even better than we had left it. Toby was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Abeela went above and beyond, taking care of every detail. It’s evident that she takes pride in her housesitting and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets and homes she looks after. We highly recommend Abeela to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. We hope she will return again in the future! Lori and Jim

A responsible & cleanly couple looking for adventure & new furry friends! :)
I was very happy with Logan & Lindsey. They kept in touch regularly & with pictures, the house was left clean & tidy. I was delighted when they were able to get my shy cat Sasha socializing with them.

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.

Caring, reliable and enthusiastic house sitter!
Rosalyn took great care of my home and 3 cats while I was away. She is a very sweet person, and obviously loves animals. Rosalyn sent me updates and. photos of my cats looking very happy, which I appreciated very much. I came home to a clean tidy house and happy cats!

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.

Dependable, Trustworthy, Responsible: ready to care for your house and your pets
Our dog loves Emily. We've had her pet and house sit many times, and it's always so wonderful not worrying about a thing while away. We highly recommend!

Pet-loving Professional Couple Travelling and Working Remotely
Frank and Danielle were the perfect housesitters! They left our place very clean and we returned to homemade lentil soup, which was a lifesaver when you get home starving with nothing in the fridge. They sent me little updates daily (as asked) and our cat seems to warm up to them well. Would definitely have them back!!

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
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!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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, $10/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!
My wife and I recently had our first child. He arrived later than expected and with some complications. Cascade Pet Camp worked with us to get our high energy German-Wirehaired Pointer boarded when we needed it and extended his stay many times at our request even around busy Thanksgiving. I've been very pleased with their service and my pup seems to enjoy his stays as well. Highly recommend!
So glad we have this place in the Gorge! My doggos love going here for both training and boarding. They get super excited driving up!
Cascade Pet Camp is fantastic! They took great care of my foster dog and sent me daily updates while I was away. The staff are caring, communicative, and responsive.
Cascade Pet Camp's puppy kindergarten class exceeded all expectations! As a busy business owner, my time is valuable, and I appreciate the efficiency and professionalism they brought to every class. The trainers demonstrated a deep understanding of canine behavior, and their positive reinforcement techniques truly transformed my behavior oh and my dogs too! Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch dog interactions!
We love Cascade Pet Camp. It makes us so happy that our dog drags us into “camp” and is just as happy when he leaves! Everyone is so sweet with him, which makes it easier to leave our little family member for times when he can’t travel with us!
We were in the area for an event on the columbia river and our day did daycare for two days. He had an absolute blast. Came home tired which means he was extra happy! The staff were kind and friendly.
Sandra was so helpful and accommodating working with our new vet to get Archer setup in their systems and cleared for daycare. I really appreciated her attention to detail and great customer service. Highly recommended!
We took the K9 Good Citizen class with our pup who struggles with anxiety in new situations and reactivity to other dogs. We had an amazing experience with Dana, Shannen & Ronyn who led informative and helpful classes. Despite being in a group training class, we felt like we received individualized attention and instruction. We learned so much in this class and it has been so encouraging seeing our dog’s progress in feeling confident in new situations. We can’t wait to take more classes!
What an awesome place. Our dog Rocky has been going here since he was 8 weeks old. We have been struggling to find a good groomer and Dana and pet camp came through big time! Rocky looks 5 years younger! Great job pet camp. If you need a groomer or a place to watch your pet call them.
The folks here went above and beyond our expectations in every phase. If you want absolute peace of mind in the care and consideration your pet is being shown while you're away, look no further. The staff is a joy to interact with and we recommend pet camp to our friends and family with confidence.
If it were possible to give Lea 10 stars, I would. Over the years I have had many house and pet sitters for our dog and three cats - none have come close to comparing with the professionalism and attention to detail that Lea provides. We have a very complex house with many indoor plants, a hot tub requiring routine maintenance, and animals that go in and out a lot without access to pet doors. 2 of the 4 pets require daily medication and all get different food for various reasons. This is not an easy gig! Lea is unflappable and consistently sweet. She communicates regularly and sends lots of pictures of our critters to reassure that they are doing well. I highly recommend Lea for your house and pet-sitting needs!
Lea did a great job with our three dogs during the week while we were at work. She stopped by daily to let our dogs out mid day. She played with them and gave them extra special attention. She is very professional. She always sent a text when she arrived and included cute pictures of her visit. I definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur babies when you can’t be there.
I am new to town and was needing a dog sitter to watch my dog while I flew across the country for a trip. I am so grateful I found Lea through Google maps because she was a true god send. I appreciated that she wanted to know as many details about my dog as possible so that she knew the best way to care for her while she stayed at Lea's house. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her family. If you need a pet sitter or dog walker in Hood River, I definitely recommend her!
I boarded my dog, Zoey with Lea and her family for the first time and I cannot say more fantastic things about the experience. Lea was excellent with sharing clear instructions and updating me with photos of Zoey and status updates throughout her stay. Zoey loved the care and attention she received, and she was warmly welcomed into Lea’s home. I highly recommend using Lea’s services! She’s very kind and has warm energy. Zoey gives 5 stars too!
Lea went above and beyond for my dogs and us to make sure they were taken care of during our wedding week. Lea sent tons of photos, gave detailed updates, and loved our dogs like our own. She was so accommodating including bringing our dogs to our wedding day of and picking them up so they could be in the ceremony. I wish Lea lived closer so we could use her all the time! 10/10 recommend!
Bizzie, our mini Australian Shepherd, arrived at Lea’s all hyped up and barking over my leaving him. I wasn’t down the road an hour before Lea texted that River, her daschund, and Biz were getting on famously— such a thoughtful thing to do, as I was then able to relax and enjoy the drive. Each day I received pictures of the two of them together, or just Bizzie relaxing. When I picked him up, instead of the barkfest I expected, a very calm Biz met me at the door. The entire time I was there he was so quiet, and his serenity continued through the ride home. Once home he just seemed so relaxed, and this morning I swear he is still behaving like he’s been to the spa, all anxiety washed away!!! Big thanks to Lea and River for taming my tiger— obviously your hospitality is helping him cope with his nervous reaction to change!👍👍👍 in
We had a great experience with Lea who watched our dog a half day. She was very flexible, quick to answer any questions and provided us great updates throughout his stay. She was very sweet and welcoming, the dog loved her immediately, he was happy tail-wagging when we picked him up. We are happy to have found someone reliable and look forward to hiring her services in the future.
Lea was super responsive and professional. She remained flexible over the course of a whole week and helped to make our holiday vacation so much more worry-free. Even with bad weather and last minute changes, Lea kept us up to date. It was so good to know that our pets and our house were in good hands! We will be calling on Lea again.
We’ve had wonderful experiences with Lea caring for our dog! She’s attentive and a great communicator. Our pup loves going to stay with her. Super grateful to have a loving home whenever we need another place because we can’t bring the dog with. 10/10, highly recommend!
I feel so grateful to have found Pawsibilities. I have a hard time leaving all of our animals but I know they are in excellent hands with Lea. She really cares and treats them all as if they are her own. I love her updates and daily pictures. I have a very nervous little dog who does not do well kenneled at a facility and Lea swooped in and offered to care for him in her home. He had so much fun that I’m not sure he wanted to come home when we got back! Thank you, Lea!
My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!
Holly was very easy to work with, responsive to communications, and thoughtful about taking care of my pup. I had a great trip knowing she was in good hands. The daily pics were not only adorable but high quality, too! Will definitely choose Holly again :)
We always feel comfortable having Holly watch our two cats while we're away! Holly is responsive, lets us know if there are any issues, and sends the cutest daily photo updates. She goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved (and we're updated) while we are away!
We left our pet rabbit with Holly for a week. I knew right away that she was in good hands. Holly carefully went over all the instructions with us before we said good bye and made sure our little bunny had a comfortable set up. Then, amazingly, we got wonderful photos and updates throughout the week. Everyone was having a good time together. We were so grateful to have found Holly to share their home and attention with our little friend. Holly is really special.
Our dog loved her stay with Holly and family so much and it was such a huge relief for us to know she was being well taken care of while we were gone. Holly sent daily pictures which were much appreciated. Highly recommend!
Holly provided care for our two cats for a week. I could tell by the cute pictures she sent each day that the cats were very comfortable with her. She even took care of an ant evasion we had, putting out ant traps we had to keep the pests away from the cat food! She always replied promptly to texts we sent while away. I will definitely use her services again.
Holly has taken care of my kitty a couple times now and has done such a good job. She checks on my girl reliably and sends me photo updates everyday so I feel reassured that everything is ok back home. Vacations are so much more relaxing when I know my fur baby is being looked after. I highly recommend Holly!
Holly is amazing! It was such a relief to find a petsitter who cares so much about providing the same level of care for my dog as I do. The photos were also something I looked forward to everyday. My pup can't wait to stay with Holly and family again!
Holly’s support has truly been invaluable. Our elderly kitty who typically hides has suddenly become very photogenic! She is clearly very comfortable with Holly and looks forward to her visits. Such peace of mind knowing that she is in such good hands.
Holly has been taking care of our kitty for a couple of years now and has become an invaluable member of our pet’s life! We can travel away from home with complete trust and assurance that our beloved cat will be in exceptional hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Holly’s care. We love the daily photos she shares of our cat and can tell that there’s a special connection there between the two. HIGHLY recommend!
I had never boarded my dogs before. Had always had family take care of them while I was gone. So when a trip came up that I had no other choice but to board, I worried if I could ever find a place similar to my own family. Luckily I found Denise Woods, who owns Pampered Pet Lodge in Damascus. She took care of my two show Corgis like they were her own. I chose the indoor living and they thrived there. I came home to both of my boys happy to see me but I knew that they were not frantic to leave. In fact, they took more hugs and pets from them before we parted. There is no other place I would recommend but Pampered Pet Lodge. A++ facility. She is caring attentive, knowledgeable, communicative. Texts are answered immediately. A wonderful feeling for an owner to leave our beloved pets in such good hands.
The only worry you may have leaving your dog with Denise is that your dog may not to go home. I had used other boarding facilities for my German Shepherd that ranged from ok to"never again" so when I found Denise it was a God send. In the past I hated leaving him and never felt like I was fully relaxed while away. With Denise I got daily updates and pictures and when I picked him up he was so happy and well cared for and it was obvious that he loved her and she loved him..
We are so very lucky to have found Denise, who has made her home a home for our fur babies while we are away. We have two small dogs that are older and have gotten to be very picky about how they spend their day. Denise is truly a dog whisperer and from the moment she met them, she was very patient with them getting used to their new space. Denise has built a lovely kennel (with a TV!), covered outdoor play area, and has a beautiful property that gives our dogs fresh air. She was wonderful about sending pics and updates throughout the week. It was the first time I went on vacation and felt calm about being away from my dogs. If you have a special needs, senior, or just a fur baby that needs extra attention and TLC, I couldn’t recommend Denise more.
If I could give 10 stars I would!! We are new to town and were nervous about finding a new place to board our dog. I was able to schedule a quick tour prior to boarding. Denise checked in daily and took THE BEST care of our dog. I feel like she treated him as if he was her own. You can tell she truly cares for all of the animals she boards. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby Denise!!!!
Five days before Easter, we found ourselves making last second arrangements to attend an out-of-state funeral. Finding someone to care for two large dogs, five days before Easter, was going to be a challenge. On the recommendation of a friend, we contacted Denise, who first confirmed that she had the space to take the dogs, then guided us through her intake process. (She can handle several dogs at a time, so she has to be sure that all the animals have all their shots, etc.) On arrival, Denise showed me her setup, including her gate and fence system (so there are no escapes). We then received daily videos of our dogs playing and interacting in the outdoor area of her setup. They were clearly happy and content! Highly recommend this place.
Our cat Charlie developed conjunctivitis in both eyes a few days before we were set to head out of town for 3 nights. I knew getting the drops into his eyes every 8 hours wasn’t going to be possible for our friend who normally comes by after work to check on our 2 cats on the rare occasions we are gone, and the place we were going didn’t allow pets. That left me scrambling to find a boarding place that had availability, would administer medications, and was reasonably priced. Never having had to board a pet before, I was worried about finding a place I’d feel comfortable leaving our cat with, especially when he wasn’t feeling well (and with a stranger in an unfamiliar place with other animals)! But Deneese quickly put me at ease and I felt reassured that he would be in capable, caring hands. When we dropped Charlie off, since she had other cats boarding in catios in her cat room, she set him up with everything he could need in her guest bathroom. This way he wouldn’t be as stressed because he’d have the room to himself. Deneese texted me regularly with updates, and photos and videos to show how Charlie was doing. She made sure he got his eye drops on schedule, and also gave him his oral medicine (Prozac for anxiety) every night. She visited him in “his bathroom” frequently to give him attention, pets, love and treats, and by the time we picked him up on the 4th day, he had really settled in and warmed up to her. I highly recommend Deneese for boarding your pets! She is very thorough, accommodating and attentive. Her rates are very reasonable and she doesn’t add on extra fees per medication dose, and she is very flexible with drop off days/times (it was so nice to be able to pick Charlie up Sunday evening and not have to leave him there until Monday morning, unlike many of the other boarding places I checked into). She not only pampers your fur baby, she pampers the owner, too, by making sure they know their pet is being well-cared for so they can relax and actually enjoy their time away instead of worrying!
Just recently boarded my two dogs for their first time ever and our first experience with Denise at Pampered Pet and there is nothing but good things to say. We were probably more nervous than our dogs to leave them for week, but Denise was very responsive and sent a lot of pictures and videos. Flexible pick up times made it so easy to grab them on our way home from the airport. Overall, the experience was 10/10.
We have left our two Aussies with Denise four or five times now, for as few as four days and as many as 18 days. This facility is unlike any other and Denise has a special way with our dogs - and all the wonderful animals on their beautiful hobby farm. She limits the number of dogs she has at any time. When they have been the only two, she lets them stay in her house with her and the family so they get even more attention. They were never "other dog friendly" until Denise started caring for them, but now they will play with the other guests happily and that has translated to being more friendly with the other dogs in our neighborhood. She stays in contact when we are gone, via text, and we often get pics and videos of the dogs having fun on the farm. Denise goes above and beyond our expectations and hopes. This last long trip, the dogs ran out of their prescription food (our poor planning) and she stood in line to get a prescription for their special food and purchased another bag for them. She also noticed a nodule growing on one of the dogs and pointed it out to us so we can go get her veterinary treatment. The worst thing we can say about Pampered Pet Lodge @ Dutch Heritage Farms is that we sometimes worry that our doggies will not want to come home with us! We have been regularly boarding dogs for 12 years and this is by far, the best home away from home they have ever had! Mark & MJ
Denise was fabulous with our "reactive" dog who is around 8 years old and had never been in a kennel over nite..she spent 2 nites and due to Denise's care and attention did just fine..i would highly recommend her
Denise and Pampered Pet Lodge are wonderful! We have four dogs with very different needs - one who is elderly with a chronic health condition and three rescues who are very active. Their care is complex and Denise has risen to the occasion. She provides safe, loving care, tending fully to the medical needs of our old gir.. When our pups stay with Denise, we have total confidence that they are in the very best hands. We highly recommend Denise and PPL!
Kelsie (& Kind Animal Services) is incredible. She is as compassionate and caring as she is insightful and educated. After a 4 thumbs down experience with another trainer in Bingen, WA, we engaged Kind Animal Services to help build/rebuild our traumatized & timid rescue puppy's confidence, and teach us how to best blend him into our household and lives. She took time to know Wylie and his unique challenges while slowly gaining his trust, first. During these one-on-one sessions we learned a lot about Wylie and gained tools to support his growth. A month-long board and train at her private facility sealed the deal. Kelsie's business name says it all, but don't mistake "kind" for being a "softie". She has been thoughtful & savvy at every step. We highly recommend Kelsie and Kind Animal Services! - Heidi, Tim, Foster and Wylie 🐾
Kelsey is an amazing dog trainer, and was a god~send for us! We were looking for a trainer to help with very specific issues for our 2 farm dogs and feel so fortunate to have found Kelsey. Not only do we really resonate with her approach (really tuning in to the animals, and not using shock collars, etc), but in 1 session she made a ton of progress with us and our dogs on issues we have not been able to figure out for years! She was extremely generous with her time, essentially staying for "as long as it takes," and gave us wonderful follow-up instructions and reminders. And maybe the most important thing is the feeling I had after the session (and that's remained with me) is one of feeling hopeful and encouraged, that we're going to be able to do this with our dogs. We feel so very grateful to have found Kelsey and will continue training with her as needed.
Kelsie has been amazing for our dog and family! She listened to our concerns, came to our house and modeled ways to help our dog who has anxiety. She is very knowledgeable and in all things canine and shared tons of information and tips. She had us practice ways to help our dog that had our dog thinking she was playing games. We have faithfully played our games and incorporated the strategies and ways of doing things that Kelsie taught us and have seen vast improvement in our dog's behaviors. We would recommend anyone with questions or concerns about dogs to contact Kelsie. She truly cares about your dog and family.
I just started working with Kelsie for my Goldendoodle puppy and she’s been a great resource so far. She has given me confidence as a first time puppy owner. She is very responsive and provides me with clear and effective tips to get my puppy on the right track to being a well behaved dog.
Leaving my dog Sadie in Kelsey and Ty's care was felt like a warm blanket around my shoulders. Sadie is extremely reactive, and despite medications and seeing another trainer, nothing seemed to be working with her reactivity. Kelsey was able to see Sadie's behavior at every angle and truly assess possible origins of Sadie's behavior and why things I have been trying weren't working. Before leaving Sadie in her care, I felt like I wasn't good dog mom. Kelsey helped me realize the mental state Sadie was in was the reason she wasn't receptive to training. The medications weren't doing anything because they were the wrong medications for Sadie. I learned that most vets prescribe Prozac for every dog with anxiety, depsite every dog having different needs. Kelsey just seemed to "get it" at a level that spoke to me and Sadie that no one had been able to do before. I've been in endless loops of failed attempts of training for the six months since bringing her home from the shelter. It was incredibly valuable that Sadie was able to stay in Kelsey's care in order to determine why these attempts were failing. I was given a list of protocols after picking Sadie up targeting Sadie's individual needs, and for the first time in six months I know without a doubt that this personalized approach is exactly what Sadie needs in order to heal from her past traumas and live a more happy, relaxed, and fulfilling life. I feel confident in a future where Sadie comes with me on backpacking trips or backcountry skiing without getting triggered, among a multitude of other activites I really want to experience with her where I didn't have confidence before. Not to mention, there were multiple boarding places I called to try to have Sadie cared for while I was on a 10 day vacation, but all of them rejected Sadie due to her reactivity. I was in a panic until the day I needed to leave, and Kelsey graciously offered her services just hours before I was set to leave town. Not only that, she also knew exactly what to do in order to care for Sadie as soon as she met her. I was so worried it was going to be another rejection of care, but instead I got more than I could have ever asked for. Thank you so much, Kelsey. You have a forever client for sure. 🙏🙏
K.A.S.- Kind animal services Rocks! Kelsie is an outstanding trainer! The time Anubis (6month old King Shepherd Puppy) and I spent at the school house was great. Kelsie spared no time educating me and Anubis about confidence building and positive reinforcement training. If I could have stayed the entire day to learn more from Kelsie I don’t think I’d be enough time to soak up how knowledgeable she is in her career. You can definitely tell she’s experienced and most of all passionate about her work with dogs or any animal for that matter. I would recommend K.A.S. Time and time again! I look forward to our next session at the school house!
Kelsie was so generous with her time and knowledge. I wrote to her in anticipation of getting my new rescue dog and she offered up so many helpful tips and resources! When I ran into her at our local dog store she took the time to meet my new pup, advise on, and fit him into, a harness for leash training. Again, she offered many tips and tricks - that are working! I highly recommend Kelsie - I know I will be reaching out to her for formal training.
Kelsie is a very animal trainer. She has a true gift for reading and understanding animal behavior (and their humans!) Kelsie formed a great relationship with our pack: a puppy a millennial and a senior!
Our wee one is still a work in progress but Kelsie really helped us lay the ground work for desensitization work that we will be doing in many areas of our pup's life. She is great at breaking down a behavior into many small steps so that phobias and fears and be addressed in ways that bring success!
Kelsey and the Staff with KAS took care of my dog Chewie during the Hood River Cider Festival this past April and they were amazing! Typically we get complaints about Chewie's behavior with other dogs as he gets over excited, but Kelsey knew what to do and he had a great time despite the separation anxiety. Unfortunately, Chewie recently passed away, but we would bring any of our future dogs to Kelsey, she is great!
I have two black labs that have been boarded here twice. They were well cared for and seemed happy to return. More important is that the Wootten brothers have deep understanding of dogs. Highly recommended.
They were so great! My Boys spent 3 nights with them and came back super happy and tuckered out from playing. Their prices are very reasonable and even sent a video for a check in halfway through. I'm recommending them to everyone!
Tom and Jerry take good care of the dogs. Lots of canine experience with those two.
Love the owners. They always respond to messages. They really do love the dogs as they were their own. Very clean facility. Always look forward to our visits.
I took my 1.5 year old husky/German shepherd here for a overnight . Everything from the meet and great, to the drop off and pickup was extraordinary. My dog was able to run and play with other dogs and not be cooped up in a kennel all day. It was great to have the peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands . This is the only place we will board our dog moving forward .
I dropped off my two dogs for a day care trial ( a Rottie and a frenchie) at this place thinking that they would take good care of my dogs and hoping that my dogs would have good experience because the owner convinced us that they would be given the care they needed, i warned the owner that my frenchie is easily overheated. Instead my Frenchie was literally dying when we picked her up. She was over heated so bad that her tongue was turning blue, she was whizzing, she couldn't breathe, she could barely walk to greet us. She puked multiple times as soon as i put her in the car!! I asked the owner what happened to her, he asked me back 'I don't know , you tell me what happened to her?'. What The Hell????!!! She was there all day long with him!!! Any idiot can tell my dog was dying!!! I asked him stuff he kept saying he doesn't know. Turned out i figured out that they just abandoned my dogs out in their field without a place to cool down all they long. No one checked on them. If i came 5-10 minutes late to pick them up my Frenchie would have been dead. I thought i lost my baby that day. It was so terrible. Both of my dogs are traumatized in this place. My Rottie ran up to us and jumped straight in the car. Not even a single looked back at the guy. He was so miserable in this place. I could tell. The whole time i was panicking trying to save my Frenchie there was no single apology from the owner instead he was playing dumb/ underestimated the condition of my Frenchie. It was a very traumatizing experience. So much for a good day care experience. More like pay me for abandoning your dogs in my field. Update to my review. The next day my Rotty is sick he has super messy poop and is lethargic. I can only imagine what my dogs been through in this daycare. This place is a nightmare.
Bark Run Play is the best dog care facility that you could ever hope for! If you read any reviews at all please read this one if you are searching for a place to take the best care of your animal while you’re away. They are professional, reliable, trustworthy & they have the cleanest facilities at all times, they always send me pictures and updates throughout my trips to let me know that my dog is loving his home away from home but most importantly they truly love my dog. Look no further, you will not be disappointed & your dog will be forever thankful to you for leaving him or her in their care!
We left our dogs there for 4 days while we flew out of state, and as far as I can tell our dogs had a good time. Before we boarded them, we had to take our dogs to the meet and greet, where we met one of the owners who was very nice and she kinda told us how they run things and showed us where the dogs will be staying. Then when we dropped the dogs off a week or so later we met the other owner, and he was super nice too. They both know a lot about dogs and know how to handle different kinds of breeds and different dogs needs. They even texted us pictures of our dogs during their stay to let us know how they were. All in all, including the low price, the whole thing was excellent and I will definitely come back if I need to board my dogs again.
Brian and Kerry took excellent care of our 11 month old lab. He got to run and play so much during his weekend stay that he slept all day when he got home! They were really good about keeping us updated with text messages and photos of our boy while we were gone, which helped us relax and enjoy our weekend. We will definitely use them again, and would highly recommend them!
I always hate leaving my pup when I go away, but this place helps to ease some of my worries because I know they always take great care of my boy. He comes back tired and looking like he had a blast. I tried a couple other dog boarding places before settling on this one and now they're my go to whenever I have to leave the pup for a few days!
Very hard to leave our kids (dogs) when we travel. But it's a LOT easier when we have them in good hands at Bark Run Play. Great place to leave the kids (dogs)! Our dogs are safe and happy in dogland aka Bark Run Play.
The facilities are clean, comfy, and secure. Kerry takes care of our 3 dogs like they’re her own and we have peace of mind when they are with her. Highly recommend!
They are extremely professional, take excellent care of Adia(my pup) , and have been incredibly accommodating! I love their facilities and their customer service is top notch! I will recommend them to anyone looking!
Lana’s is the only place our cats have ever been. She has such a nice setup and fair prices. Our two cats have been there about 6 times now, sometimes for over a week. Well done Lana, we recommend your place to everyone we meet that needs a spot for their kittens! Thank you!!!!!!!!
clean and well managed safe place for my dog
Lana is very good with my dogs, I have fostered dogs and she willing takes my personal dogs as well as my foster dogs! She is professional and always available if I need her. I would recommend her to anyone. Your dogs will be treated well and they will be safe! Thanks!
Lana is down right amazing! My dog is a little older and requires special attention and care which she has been able to give him while he stayed there. Would recommend her to anyone
She lost my friends dog. Didn't even really help look for him. She texted her that he was lost, didn't even call her. DO NOT PUT YOUR DOG HERE, IT MIGHT NOT COME HOME.
It's inexpensive and even the local vet recommends her service because Lana will administer medication.
Small operation but they take great care of the dogs and no random hidden fees.
Great safe place for your kids... Going for years now multiple animals never a problem
The best place you could ask for the service and hospitality were exceptional
