Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, $15/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I highly recommend Auntie Linda's to care for your sweet fur baby when you are away. She provides a home setting which makes Pugsley very happy. We would never want him to feel like he was going back to the kennel that he was rescued from. She has an amazing pet friendly and fun backyard for her visitors. Pugsley gets lots of love and even some lap time. He has so much fun playing with his friends and she is great about texting pictures and messages while we are away. Great communication and great rates make Auntie Linda's our first choice for our Pugsley. We have taken Pugsley to Auntie Linda's for over four years and we will never go anywhere else. You can see by the expression on his face that Pugsley also loves Auntie Linda's.
I have used Auntie Linda’s pet sitting for three years for our cat Rogue. She has baby sat Rogue for a few days to two weeks. Rogue has always been taken care of and dotted over. It has been a great experience and I have never worried. Recently, we had a family emergency and needed to leave town for a few days. I was desperate and reached out to her. She was still able to make accommodations and get Rogue a place to stay on short notice. She is amazing! I will continue using her in the future for our 14 year old cat Rogue when we take vacations
Linda is great and she will take care of your pet like her family. Our dogs had a great experience at her pet resort.
Auntie Linda took great care of our 3 cats for over a week. She was very accommodating and reasonably priced. She also sent us texts with photos and updates on how they were doing. Our cats looked happy and well taken care of when we went to pick them up and it was clear they had a great week! I highly recommend Auntie Linda's boarding service.
We have been with Linda for years, and trust our priceless animals with her. She deeply cares about everyone's well being. That being said, she is a pet sitter, and not a kennel. If your pet requires extra care, call her she'll gladly discuss what she is and isn't capable of.
This week will be the 3rd time I have entrusted Auntie Linda with caring for my fragile 18 yr old kitty girl. Frieda has a neurological conditionn and is losing muscle strength in her back legs, so can jump maybe 6 inches, and often loses her balance. Instead of the typical tall cat condo with many shelves, Linda came up with using a wide/long bunny cage, which fit her bed, litterbox and food just right. She always sends pictures and text updates on how she was doing; extremely soothing to a far-away purr parent. Her ability to be flexible to owners & pets is amazing! This week I'll be going for surgery, and I don't know if I'll need to leave her there for 2 days or a week depending on the outcome. Linda didn't bat an eye and said let me know when you know Frieda is always welcome here. Although she often has a mix of pets there at one time, her home is clean, friendly, inviting and happy. I told her last time I was there I thought she was undercharging, but she said I want it this way for folks who just aren't able to afford the pricier places. THAT is the kind of woman and caregiver Linda is. Absolutely could not ask for better!
Linda took good care of my rabbit while I was away for a month. She kept sending pictures of the rabbit regularly. She took great care of my Oreo (rabbit) and now he is back home. Definitely recommend her.
Linda is awesome! She took great care of our cat, and gave him a lot of attention!! She would send us a pic of him almost every day, and give us an update. Her rates are frickin unbelievable as well!!!
Absolutely not! If I can rate this no stars I would! Took my dog here she’s a girl. And this lady had already dogs there and released them to meet my dog and the male German shepherd attacked my dog! Absolutely not ok! Maybe next time you let your dogs meet a strangers pet put them on a leash. We tried to pull my girl away and her dog kept coming and with another right behind my baby, myself and my boyfriends mother were holding our dog and she was terrified! She’s terrified to even go in the car now because she thinks she has to come back to this awful place. I would like to mention Linda did mention she would pay for the vet bill but this not just about money my dog is terrified.
So glad I found Auntie Linda’s! I left my two cats under her care to go on a trip for three weeks. I felt no worries leaving them with her, and she frequently sent pictures of them. I recommend her and I will continue using her services! She is also very sweet. :)
Amy and her team have been fantastic to work with. We depend on Amy's for midday walks, dinner feedings and occasional overnight stays. I love the texts I get with photos from walk or play. Both dogs respond well to Amy (all animals do I think!) and others on her team. They are very professional and caring. Its worth the cost to know that the dogs will be safe, cared for and loved!
We have been using Amy’s Pet Sitting for years now. Both for vacations and daily dog visits when we are at work. They do an amazing job, are dependable and so loving towards my animals. They always give me updates no matter how short the visit and consistently go above and beyond. I have recommended them to neighbors as well and have heard nothing but good things about their care!
I have used Amys Pet Sitting service for two durations of almost one week each time. The service is outstanding. They are timely in getting back to me when checking availability. I also was lucky to have the same person stay at my home and take care of my fur babies both times. Freddy is absolutely outstanding and my fur babies love her! She also is an outstanding communicator and she keeps me informed on how the fur babies are doing while I am out of town. This gives me tremendous peace of mind that everything is good. I highly recommend Amys Pet Sitting Service if you have the need for any of their services. Kind Regards, Jamie
Amy and her team take great care of our pets whether it’s a daytime visit and walk or an overnight stay. They are thorough, reliable and easy to schedule with. They take seriously the care of the pets they are watching over. It is hard sometimes to leave your pets behind but we feel so confident and grateful knowing they are in good hands . We always get updates and know if there ever was a problem with our dogs they would be well taken care of in our absence .
Not only are my pets family, they are "special" too - which requires just the right person who can deal with the multi-page instructions I leave and be perfectly fine with it - complete understanding. Amy herself, or one of her trustworthy sitters, does a great job with my animals. I never worry because she follows all my weird instructions, has great safety and backup protocols in place - and she keeps in contact for the whole service period so I never have to wonder how my critters are or if she's been there. Look no further - but make sure to get your request for dates in as soon as you can because she's becoming quite popular and busy!
This service has been the best! I recently moved and was worried because I didn’t have my pet sitter any more. I’ve used Amy’s service for my cats 5 times since moving here a year ago. They are always friendly, send me pictures at each visit. The cats are we always well cared for!
I knew Amy was someone I trusted to care for my precious animal family the minute she came over to meet them. She spent a long time chatting with me and getting to know each animal individually. She sends me photos, videos, and written text message updates after each visit. Even my most fearful cat comes out for her and allows her to pet him and play with him. She’s a true animal lover and my animals love her so so do I!
We had daily text message reports of our dog's playing and pooping. And it was clear that Amy had played with him after his morning meal because he expected us to keep up the good behavior she'd demonstrated! Clearly he wasn't just "taken care of" but loved up, and we'll be delighted to use her excellent service the next time we leave town.
I started using Amy's Pet Sitting service on a recommendation from one of their current clients. All I can say is...what a relief! What a relief to not have to rely on friends and family to occasionally care for our dog and two cats (who may or may not have time or even want to do it, but will out of obligation ). What a relief to be able to schedule professional care online and develop a relationship with the staff and caregivers. What a relief to no longer worry if the pet sitter is actually there with our animals (photos and texts come during their visits). What a relief to be able to pay online and not leave checks laying around while we are away. What a relief to have OPTIONS for the type and length of visits. And on...and on... I am forever grateful for the recommendation and the care we get from Amy's Pet Sitting. I'd give 6 stars if I could. ;) Thank you!
We came into town for a concert and noticed last minute that we forgot our keys to lock our vehicle. Amy's Pet Sitting was called 3 hours before the show was to start, and delivered for us in a big way. The sitter was amazing, the last minute help was amazing and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Beyond 5 stars. We're indebted.
Very nice place to go and leave my dog. Very friendly owners, very attentive to information in care of my Papillion. If you are wondering where to board your dog look no further. This couple is such a wonderful asset to our community and to our community of dogs. They are experienced and knowledgeable. They are an extension of my family when I leave town. I do not have to worry about the care and protection and emotional stability of my dog. I gave them a five star rating. And they deserve everything positive for taking care of our Spokane dogs . Bless you Matthew and Tristan.
This is a picture of our pup during his stay at Spok-9. We got this picture from the daily updates that we got from the owners which put us at ease while away. We were last minute around the holidays looking for a good, safe, and reliable place to put our newly adopted doggo. Spok-9 was the best out of them all. They were extremely welcoming and kind enough to even give us a tour of where he would be staying and playing. You can tell that they really care about the animals that stay here as well as make sure they are as comfortable as possible. They encouraged us to call them and check-in. Their facility is very clean and organized. The play area is spacious. They were also great at continuing the training that we had just started with him. 10/10 We will be bringing our pup back!
My dogs absolutely love this place. The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly. They are so good with my crazy dogs. Such sweet owners. Would definitely recommend
Very friendly and professional, are dog loves his mini vacations here! He has so much fun he usually sleeps for 2 days when he gets home. We love all the photos they take during play time
This is the best place to board your cat! They are always so friendly and I know my baby is always in good hands with them
Friendly owners and the dogs always have a blast, lots of pics posted daily to social media allows you see the fun too
They are awesome!!! We have been taking our Bandit there for over 2 yrs now and he is always happy there. The ladies are great with him!!!
We are new customers and left our boxer puppy with them for 10 days last minute. The owners are incredibly friendly, very informative, and great with our pup! They sent us updates and posted pictures on their Facebook to keep us informed on how our pup was doing. The facility was clean and professional! We appreciate just how well they took care of our puppy and will definitely be returning customers! Definitely recommend!
Spok-9 is the best place for my dog, Casper. The amount of care and compassion the staff provides to the animals they care for is incomparable to others. We have tried several different daycare facilities and Rover sitters in the area and none come close to how well this facility takes care of and treats my dog. Something that one of the owners, Matt, said to me in the beginning is that "we strive to have the dogs go home tired and happy instead of tired and frustrated" and they truly live up to that. The staff is so friendly, helpful, and great with communication - not to mention the daily photos of my dog smiling ☺️ I wouldn't think about taking my dog anywhere else!
I take my Australian Shepherd puppy for daycare on occasion, and I have to say that I love taking him here. He always seems really, really excited to be here, and the owners are also super friend and always remember his name when we come in. They post tons of pictures to their Facebook account everyday of all the pups in daycare, and when you go to pick up, they will tell you how they behaved that day. It really is an amazing place to take your pets, and I would definitely recommend.
I never review anything, but the service I got from Pet Pals was beyond any expectation. If you have any pet sitting needs I highly recommend them. My two cats were happy and content when I got home and it was obvious Pam went above and beyond to keep them calm, which is no small feat for my two skittish rescue cats. I cannot stress enough how great the service was and not to mention very affordable, even for a poor graduate student like myself haha
Pam and her family have been sitting for our large dog & 2 cats since I found Pet Pals on Angie’s list in 2015. We take between 8-10 trips a year. Some are just overnight & some are weeklong. She is professional & does little extras like raising & lowering shades, bringing in mail, and moving garbage cans to protect our home. Our beloved animals always seem relaxed & happy when we get home. I have recommended Pet Pals to all my friends.
Pam and her family are hard working, honest people! They go out of their way for their customers. We have been always hado great experiences with them! Highly recommend their services.
Won Best In Spokane 6 Years in a Row
THey are the best you can depend on them.
Simply The Best Pet Sitter In Town!!!
Our dog loves his walks!
Outstanding. Recommended
Thank you!
Patty is the best! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was feeling a little anxious about leaving the fur babies while I was away for longer periods of time. She sent me updates/pictures every day and from our first meeting, I could tell she was reliable and an animal lover. I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and feel at peace knowing she’s taking care of my kitties. She is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found her!
We recently went on vacation and for the first time, our friends/neighbors were not able to care for our dogs. Our older guy, Buddy has never been in a kennel and has very high anxiety. I was so stressed about who was going to take care of them, that I had a difficult time getting excited about our trip. I found a business card for Ponderosa Patty that I got a year ago from our vet, and called her. It was short notice but she was very accommodating and eager to assist. We dropped them off the night before and she and her husband took time to talk with us so we could get to know them, their routine and to be comfortable. We had given Buddy anxiety medication and instructed Patty to give it to him when the shaking started. She constantly sent me pictures of Buddy happy and our other dog Sammy, going for walks, tails wagging. Riding in cars on her husband's lap, laying on them sleeping in their home, etc. Buddy NEVER had to have anxiety meds! They are very calm and loving with the animals and the animals knew it. I am so happy to have found Patty and will happily call her next time we need her. Thank you Patty for giving our dogs so much love and comfort and easing OUR anxieties!
We have taken several trips and have left the care of our dogs, parakeets, and home to Spokane's Best Pet Sitter. Patty is a most professional, trustworthy, and dependable individual who has shown a sincere interest and care for our pets. We received photos almost daily along with any questions or concerns related to our time away. We go away with complete peace of mind and confidence that everything will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend her services.
“Ponderosa Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”
A million stars ⭐️! Patty is so trustworthy and loving to my pups! I feel lucky 🍀 that my pups have her when I’m gone. She spoils them and sends me updates everyday❤️ thank you Patty for your care and attention to my dogs and home. I hope you know how amazing and appreciated you are 💕⭐️🙌. …
The name is correct, Patty is the BEST pet sitter in Spokane!! My entire family recently went on vacation together so this was the first time I've ever had to use a pet sitter for my cats and looking for someone on the internet can be scary and daunting. I am SO glad I found Patty! She took such great care of our cats and made sure that even our shy one got some love too. I am SO thankful to have found her, it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of! Will forever recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!
“We have used Ponderosa Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”
Ponderosa Patty has been so great watching our cat Binx the two times we have used her!! She sends pictures every visit so you can see that your pet is being well taken care of!! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for our future trips!!
Patty took excellent care of my pup while we were away. She gave regular updates and took extra care to make sure our nervous doggo felt comfortable around her. We will be booking her again for future trips.
Patty was wonderful with my 2 kitties. She accommodated the special needs of the one that is 16. I loved that she sent me pictures and texts each day to keep me informed. She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I think her price is very fair for the services she provides which included giving medication to my old girl. Would give her more stars if I could. I know I can travel now with confidence when Patty is taking care of my kitties.
After a ton of recommendations to Dave at StoneFox Kennels, we had our dog stay with them during our travels. Dave and his team did a phenomenal job! Our dog was happy, well-taken care of and clean when I picked him up. They offer a military discount as well! I’m thankful to have found this gem and will definitely use them in the future. 5/5 stars and highly recommended!
If we were able to leave a negative star we would. We should never have attempted to leave our puppies there again. Retired military and we have been to/used a number of kennels around the world. Yes, we are completely culpable and truly regret subjecting our puppies to their business the second time but we assumed our pups were simply stressed from a new environment and our departure, therefore, we felt they did not eat the first time we left them there hence their emaciated state upon our return the first time. The second time was even worse! Both of our puppies (actually 6-years old) were lethargic, severely dehydrated, and now have non stop diarrhea since they came back. We will never trust them with our puppies again! If you care about the welfare of your dogs, please find somewhere else to house them. Take your time to look beyond the advertised heated floors and into the kennels and truly assess the cleanliness and “state” of the business prior to leaving your loved ones there. Please learn from our unfortunate mistakes.
I cannot recommend Stone Fox Kennels enough! When we got our German Shepherd back after his 10 day stay, he was happy, calm, and had clearly been very well taken care of. Our dog gets nervous when we board him, but the staff at Stone Fox were able to work with him and help him relax. We had a bad experience with a different local kennel when we boarded our dog previously, so we were pretty cautious going into boarding this time. We are so grateful to Stone Fox and will not use any other kennel for boarding from now on!
Our pup had a great time boarding for two days! We've only had her a couple months and are working through anxiety and leveling out a medication, so she can be shy and particular about treats. She had never been to a boarding facility before but she was comfortable when we went in, made friends with the gentleman who checked us in and went back with him no problem! When we picked her up she was a happy girl with her tail wagging. I'm beyond pleased to have a facility that made her feel comfortable and confident! Highly recommend!
About a year ago now, my family and I had a medical emergency and needed to drive to Seattle ASAP and could NOT bring our animals because of the accommodations we were given last minute. At first, I made the choice to take my two dogs and two cats to West Wind Kennels right up the street. Please do not take your pets to this facility to "save money". The receptionists were rude and uncaring about my abrupt situation and urgent need for boarding though they had the space. While I was waiting to be helped, the groomers in the room next door to reception were being way too rough with an uncooperative dog. I used to be a pet groomer, you do not treat animals that way. I didn't realize until after my dogs were booked that their living space would be so very minimal, with no outside time unless I paid extra for it. They were put in a 3x3 box and given a 4x3 indoor run. The only time it seemed they would have human contact was feeding time, again unless you paid an extra amount for a measly 15 minutes of outdoor play time. My collie has separation anxiety, so he yells when he's in a new place and can't see me. I had dropped off my animals and was on my way out when the older gentleman that worked there I heard him screaming at my dog to shut up and heard thudding which I could only assume he was kicking the box my dog was in. (Please see their website for the pictures of what their place looks like.) That would not settle at all and I got a very BAD feeling on the way out. WIth that feeling, I called Dave at StoneFox Kennels, explained the situation. He was friendly, open, and more than fine and ready to take my animals while taking in my situation as best he could. I told him I had to see the place. Their rooms are more than spacious, the place colorful and bright and play/outdoor time is several times a day and included. The moment I finished the tour, I went back to West Wind Kennels to rescue them from that depressing place. My two 50 lb dogs had enough room to play together in their rooms verses the little space at WW. The fences and play area outside, as well as the rest of facility, smelled clean and well taken care of. My cats were given the cat room to themselves! And they had LOADS of room and things to climb. All four animals had to stay upwards of two weeks at this facility and I am so glad that I made the choice to switch. I was reunited with very happy, clean babies that I am thoroughly convinced would not be the case had we had to stay elsewhere. We even see Dave on our walks sometimes, they're still SO happy to see him (they're not all that friendly towards strangers, so it's a big deal!) StoneFox is slightly more expensive than WW but I'm telling you it's SO worth it. Dave really does care about your animals. He also offers military rates. 5/5 stars
I just had my dog boarded there for two nights. My puppy is super shy and gets very scared around people. When we arrived my dog was of course avoiding the worker and hiding behind me. When I picked him up two days later my dog was happily wagging his tail and licking the worker. I don't know the staff member's name but he is incredibly nice and obviously is amazing with dogs!
Beware! They do not care for your dogs the way they say they will. Our pup stayed with them for a week. I called twice to check on him and they assured me he was eating and doing good. I talked to them at least 3 times to also have him groomed during his stay. When we picked him up he was not groomed. They said he was un-groomable. Really? He loves getting groomed and has NEVER had an issue with any grooming. Did I mention he's 14 pounds. Funny I've never had a groomer have any issue with him. That was disappointing. But, he also came home matted, dirty and with a UTI. When we called the kennel they then admitted that he didn't really eat or drink much. The vet confirmed the lack of fluids was a big cause of the UTI. (Which he's never had in his life until staying here). His bed was soaked because they said he peed on it - again - this has never happened before. The kennels seem dirty and their limited hours are an issue - especially when they won't answer the phone off hours. Super disappointed in the whole experience. We expect a boarding facility will actually care for the animals...they did not.
The owner's are so friendly and work really well with the dogs. The kennels are always clean and are absolutely adorable.
We had a great experience. Our two small dogs stayed in one of the medium rooms for two nights during a weekend. Everything looked super clean. The staff was really nice and they welcomed us in to see where our dogs would be staying which was great. When we picked them up, they were happy as clams and had plenty of food and water plus clean blankets and a clean room. Also we were able to pick them up on Sunday which was really convenient and saved us from paying for an extra night.
As any dog owner would be, I was very concerned bringing my dog to a new kennel, but Dave made us feel very good and comfortable about her stay. He was happy to show us the kennel she'd be staying in, and he showed us the dog run area for her to use the bathroom. The kennels are very nice, clean, and cozy. My dog is also very insecure and defensive about her food and space. Dave overcame those challenges with her, and continued the effort to make her feel welcome. She also had an accident on her bed and blanket, and Dave made sure to wash her bedding for her. I absolutely recommend this kennel, and we will be bringing our dog back in the future.
With so many choices we have, we always choose play n stay! I never worry about their care. We were gone 7 nights and our dogs had fun and were well cared for!
I was thrilled to find such an experienced and compassionate provider for my beloved pooches. Everyone at Play N Stay accommodated my concerns for my 16 year old labradoodle as well as those for my very fearful 1 1/2 year old micro mini bernedoodle. I look forward to having Plan N Stay care for my pooches whenever I need a place for them to stay in the future. Thank you to all of the staff at Play n Stay.
Our pup always comes home happy and tired! We trust the Play N Stay team to provide a safe environment for our Ginny every time we leave town, which is really comforting. The team is communicative, kind, and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. We're happy to have this spot be our go-to dog daycare/boarding place in Spokane.
I have taken my German Shepherds to Play & Stay for years for daycare and boarding. P & S personnel are outstanding, professional, and do a stellar job in taking care of my dogs.
Wonderful experience! I boarded my two small dogs for several days with great results. My Chihuahua came home happy as a clam! My Chinese Crested, who has always been skittish and sensitive, came home calm and relaxed. He is now a more balanced dog and I couldn’t be happier. Love this place! Highly recommend!
Play N Stay is wonderful! They have a smooth process, quick and easy drop off and pick up, and sincere care and concern for our lil fur loved ones. Very friendly staff and reasonable rates!
We have appreciated the flexibility of the staff at Play N Stay regarding our dogs. Our now deceased Tassie Etta had issues with small dogs and they handled it in a way that she was well socialized but the little ones were safe. Now our husky Sasha gets so excited when she realizes where we are. They handle her high energy very well so she doesn't spend too much time in time out. That is all to say, they pay attention to the individual dogs needs.
We have had multiple dogs board at Play n Stay and they always have a great time. Even our slightly nervous dogs (nervous at new places) were only nervous at the beginning of their visit. I love how you can customize what you want for your dog during their stay. Were even considering having our dog join the weekday play groups.
We love.love this place. As soon as we turn on this street, my dog gets so excited. They are kind and great here. We even travel from across town just for our dog to be here. Worth it! Boarding-we definitely love the option of peanut butter and cuddles. Our lab loves company so it's nice to know they will spend a little time with him. Also, the option to bathe him while there is super nice. We also use their day care services specially once in a while. It's great. Super easy fast drop off and easy pick up. Easy reservations online and they are pretty quick at getting back to you if needed. Update. Still love this place. Love the workers love that they are always kind. Love that my labrador is so happy being there and is worn out when I get him back.
We absolutely loved sending our girl to Play & Stay! They were so welcoming and scheduling her daycare online was so easy! We moved out of Spokane otherwise she would still be going! 🥰 …
Fox and Kai have been going to Doggyland for almost 3 years now and they love it! My husky goes crazy when we get about a block away. My dogs are in daycare 3-5 days a week, boarded frequently when I am out of town, and I have had them groomed there as well. I have only ever had amazing experiences with all their services provided. Kylie, Moriah, Cheryl, and everyone else there are sweet and I know my dogs are loved and taken care of by the staff.
Some of the best folks around!! They are always so sweet and obviously care for our pupper. It's always so fun to search for pictures of our Grog on their Facebook every day he goes to play too! They just take the best pictures and make funny memes every week 😄 They make sure your fur baby stays safe while having fun. Highly recommend!
Our pup, Brogan, has been going to Doggyland Daycare since he was about 5 months old (he is 7 years old now!). He LOVES to go play with his friends there. He has done extended boarding and we've never had a bad experience. All the staff treat each dog (and cat) like their own and shower them with love and sometimes treats. We get pictures posted to their Facebook social media page which is especially great when you are away and can see they are having fun and being well cared for. Thank you to all the Doggyland Staff!
I have been bringing Vinny here for over a year. He absolutely loves it. I know I could give a thank you to the entire staff, but Mariah has been awesome with Vinny from the very beginning. I'm sorry Mariah you can't take Vinny home with you Lol. The sleepovers have been very special and I can tell that Matiah has a special connection with him. Thank you.
My Bichon Harley has been going to Doggyland almost 5 days a week for over a year. He gets so excited and runs inside to see all of his friends! The staff are so friendly and have been so helpful with tips for training and have worked with me to accommodate Harley's needs! We will definitely keep coming, and recommend Doggyland to everyone!
We have two Goldens and let me tell you how excited they get when I ask them “Do you want to go play with your friends??” The employees make this place great, they treat each of them as their own. They truly love their job, I mean you get to spend your day with cute cats and dogs all day! They do activities and special pictures with all the pets like “Back to School” and “Sleepover” pictures. You get to see a picture of your pet everyday. We love it here!
The best doggy daycare around! Always clean and smells nice! They take pride in giving the best care to all the animals. Special shout out to Mariah and Alex, always helpful with a smile on their faces.
Their review are great so we decided to let my dog stay there…people are nice and I like that they have a big space for doggy and we’ve never had issue before so we liked you guys but this time when we picked Leo up from there, he came out limping his back legs and looks like he is having hard time to walk so my husband asked one of ladies what happened but she said Leo just “ played hard with puppies…..??” Okay….. And we came home and Leo started having hard time to get up and walk still limping and his legs started shaking… so my husband had to carry him outside for his bathroom… we let him walk little bit to see how he will do on concrete and soon as started walking on concrete, his back curled up and his legs started shaking and he stopped walking…. We never had this issue before at any daycare we had used in the past so I called you back again to see if anybody might’ve seen he got attacked by other dogs or he fell or tripped something but all she said was “I don’t know”. I don’t expect you guys to watch every single moves of dogs since you have so many but at least people pay for you to rely on you to take care of our dogs so the answer should’ve been other than “I don’t know” like I don’t care. We weren’t happy about that customer service. Her tone made us feel like “I don’t know like I don’t care”. Now we might have to take Leo to the Vet because of this. After this accident, the owner contacted us right away, she tried to figure out situations and what happened, it was very quick response and very helpful, i really appreciated all she did for us, she is a very caring and professional and kind lady… We are very very impressed how much she cares all dogs and treats them like her owns…she is very very helpful. Again thank you so much Janette, we are really appreciate you. We will come back again!
I've been using Doggyland for several years. Great facility and the staff is the BEST! My dog Chief loves coming during the day and also for sleepovers. Thanks Doggyland!
If I could give Doggyland 10/5 I would. My dog has been going here for seven years now. He loves it. I love it. Unlike a lot of places they have had the same staff here the whole seven years. I think that says a lot about the owner and business as a whole. I had a friend whose daughter worked here for the summer and she confirmed that they clean all the time, all day long. My dog has never been injured or come home dirty. He is always super excited to see the staff. If you need a place for your dog to socialize while you work or play, Doggyland is it!
I love the employees and my dog seems to love it. It's always clean and they're super friendly. I love that they offer nail grinds and baths. My dog comes here for boarding and daycare pretty often, and we plan to keep coming! The staff are willing to work with people which is awesome. I sometimes forget to give my doggo breakfast and they feed him or mix up the day I'm picking him up from boarding and the call to clarify 🤦🏼♀️
I have a 7 month old golden retriever, Josie, and she can be a lot as a puppy with little to no socialization skills with other dogs. Today was her first day or socialization day at Updawg Pet Hotel and Daycare and it went better than I could have ever imagined. First, I am a helicopter dog parent so I am already nervous about having others watch my dog, but then to have someone else introduce her to a group of dogs terrified me. But the staff was amazing! The owner, Travis, walked me through all the questions and calmed all my nerves. And every other staff member was so kind to Josie and me. You can text when your dog is with them for an update and they respond really quickly! Not only did I book her boarding stay, I also signed up for more doggy daycare because I felt so comfortable with Josie in their care. Peace of mind has no price tag, but somehow this place also has the best rates I’ve seen. Thank you so much for the best experience! (Also, cheers to the new ownership group! Not only does Travis provide military discount, he is also a Vet.)
**Exceptional Care and Service for Our Pup!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We've been taking our dog to Updawg for about four years, and couldn't be happier with the care and attention he receives. Whether it's for daily daycare or extended boarding, the staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure our dog is happy and well-cared for. They've always been incredibly patient and understanding, even when we have last-minute requests. Our dog can be a bit of a handful—he's vocal and can be challenging at times—but the team handles him with such care and expertise. They never rush us when we have questions and always take the time to make sure we feel comfortable and informed. It's clear that everyone at Updawg genuinely loves what they do, and it shows in the way they treat the dogs and their owners. Highly recommend as a reliable and loving place for furry family member. They have earned our trust and gratitude over the years, and we wouldn't take our dog anywhere else!
My doggo Fawnzie absolutely loves going to daycare here. He gets so very excited to go in and always wants to take his friends (other doggos and staff) home with him. It is a great place for him to socialize and get his energy out while I am at work. I can definitely tell that he is well taken care of and cared for while here.
We have been taking Gizmo here for a little over a year. He was a covid puppy and therefore not socialized properly. Very fearful of others and the first daycare place didn't work out at all. Had to cut my trip short to rescue him. This place has been a lifesaver!! They socialized him and he does fine with other dogs and can be left there for boarding even. Very much appreciative of the hard work,knowledge and care they put into their jobs.
Best thing ever! My 3 year old lab (still full-on puppy) sits at the door every day waiting to go to daycare to see his friends. When I pick him up in the afternoon he is asleep in the backseat literally before I pull out of the parking lot. The activity and socializing helps him keep his weight down (labs love to eat!) and has made him more social with new dogs. Wonderful kind people. Great hours of operation too. They open early and I can even pick him up on Sundays if he is boarding. Bill
My pups CANNOT wait to get out of the car when we pull into the parking lot. They have become so much more social and friendly towards people and other dogs since coming to daycare. All the employees at Updawg are amazing! I’m so impressed they know all the dogs by name, their personalities and many by their bark! Highly recommend!
Our pup Rufus loves going to daycare at Updawg! He knows when we grab his leash in the morning that he gets to go play with his friends and gets so excited. Rufus had also stayed overnight and likes that too. Rufus is a sensitive, anxious boy so being alone doesn’t work for him. Updawg has been a life saver for us. The staff is friendly and experienced at loving dogs. Updawg also offers baths which is awesome because Rufus doesn’t let us wash him often. He isn’t a bath guy, but the staff at Updawg manage to get him clean and smelling good. Updawg offers extras to help their overnight guests feel safe and cozy including treats and one on one time which is also really helpful. Change and traveling can be stressful for Rufus. Leaving him at Updawg gives is peace of mind that he will be okay and have a good time.
This place used to be called Jeanie’s doggy Daycare. There has been a huge difference since the new ownership! Super friendly and always happy to see my pup! My dog loves going here and hanging with all the other dogs!
Jenna, my German Shepherd, loves going to Updawg. When I tell her we're going there she gets very excited, tail goes crazy, jumps around with excitement and runs to the car. If I need to take a detour, she cries until she recognizes we're on a familiar road to doggie day care. The staff is caring and it's obvious they all love dogs. When I need to board her, I never worry about her when I'm away. I know she's happy and well taken care of. I'm extremely happy with their services.
Found amazing reviews online and set up a meet and greet for our Beasty boy. Everything was so calm and organized when we walked in which blew my mind! My boy was nervous as to be expected but never seemed upset or tense. We than did a two night three day stay. Our last boarding experience had kept us from going anywhere we couldn’t bring him along. Jessica completely eased our minds about the whole process, was extremely thorough covering all the bases for needs and care. After drop off I was nervous but we got daily updates with pictures and stories and honestly my heart felt put at ease. When we picked him up he was calm!!! Previously he would be sick,shaking, just overall sick from the stress NOT THIS TIME!! He was happy to see us but he was calm and happy. I had to hug her!!! Now and forever our boys vacation spot!! I wish I could give more stars!!!
I dreaded leaving Murphy, my 11-month-old pup, for boarding while I went on a family trip. After researching, we found Jessica and I’m so pleased we did. Murphy was there for 8 days and came home healthy and exhausted from playing with all his new friends. Jessica sent me pictures and updates. She’s very in tune with each of the animals in her care. Her home and yard are clean, but still very pet friendly. Jessica is efficient and thorough with her business and necessary paperwork but loving and attentive toward the pets in her charge.
My young dog has separation anxiety. Jessie has provided daycare and boarding for her. Jessie is patient, welcoming, attentive and willing to share her advice. She has great control over all of the dogs and they respect her and her house. It is a clean, calm, and inviting place for people and dogs alike. I do not have to worry about my dog being anxious in her care, which is great peace of mind. Thanks so much!
Jessica's home was a great boarding destination for my dog! She was extremely responsive with any questions I posed and gave daily updates. It was an engaging environment for my dog, Barley, and Barley seems to have enjoyed her time (though I'm not a dog psychic).
Jess is amazing with my dogs. She is very personable and professional. I love her home atmosphere and how much love and attention she gives her clients( two legged and four).
Katie is amazing! My two notoriously nervous cats come out to greet Katie. They love her and when I get home they are always in good spirits. I appreciate the regular updates in the app and by text. Katie takes good care of the kitties and the house. Highly, highly, highly recommend.
Katie provides such great care for my fur babies! She sends pictures while you’re gone and announces when she has come to care for your animals and even gives a recap on each fur baby at the end of the visit! I would highly recommend Katie and Just Fur Them Pet Sitting!! She treats them like family while you’re gone and you won’t have to worry. They are in high demand so if you need a reliable, trustworthy, and warm loving pet sitter for your babies then Just Fur Them is right for you!
Katie and Ryan are amazing! We've used them a few times and our boys love them. They are very professional, care for our animals like they are their own, and keep us well informed while we are away. We are grateful to have found their service. Highly recommend for drop in visits and overnight stays ❤️ Thank you Katie and Ryan!
Just Fur Them does an excellent job at caring for your pets. I have 3 cats, 2 of which require medications, which takes some time to prepare. Just Fur Them handles this no problem. Also the communication that occurs while you are gone is superb, pictures and status reports are sent to you with each visit. My air conditioning had an issue while I was gone during a heat wave and Just Fur Them immediately made me aware and took extra steps to ensure the pets were comfortable while the issue was addressed in my absence. I highly recommend Just Fur Them pet sitting services. The care provided with a high attention to detail has made taking a vacation much less stressful knowing your pets are in good hands. The prices for this quality of care is very reasonable and affordable. Greg Gilbett
Katie did a wonderful job of taking care of my kitty Owlvin while I was away for a few days. I really appreciated the photos sent to me everytime she dropped by. She was also very accommodating when I had an emergency and had to add a couple of drop in visits, as I wasn't going to be back home when originally scheduled. Thank you so much for taking great care of my boy, he was happy and in good spirits when I returned home! I would definitely recommend Just Fur Them Pet Sitting if anyone is looking for quality pet care!
Katie is amazing! She is so responsive and offers many accommodations for your pet sitting needs. Very reasonable prices for drop ins and overnights. I completely trust her to take care of our fur babies when away and highly recommend! She communicates her entire stay or visits and we feel at ease knowing our beloved pets are in good hands!
Katie did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. One is very shy and Katie went out of her way to connect with him. She communicated with me daily and sent great pictures. I highly recommend Just Gur Them.
Katie is fantastic! She's easy to reach and super communicative. She took great care of our dogs and our home during several recent stays. We'll definitely continue using Just Fur Them.
October of 2021 was our first time using the Just Fur Them Pet Sitting service. We have 2 cats, one who is a regular social butterfly and the other, a “scaredy” cat. Although we were out of the country for 12 days, Katie did an amazing job keeping us informed of their daily routines and activities. It was obvious from the photos that Cassie was truly enjoying the play sessions and even shy Billy Flynn ventured out from under the bed for some play time and a few ears scritches. I was really impressed with Katie’s attention to detail regarding both cats - meals, likes and dislikes, feeding times, and personality differences. She and her husband’s interaction with our pets during the Meet & Greet instilled genuine confidence in their ability to provide quality care while we were away. We certainly would use them again and highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a reliable, affordable pet-sitter.
Katie does a great job taking care of my two kitties. She sends daily photos and updates so you know the fur babies are doing well. I strongly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.
