Pet Sitters in
Four Lakes, WA

Dan and Zac have been a great experience!!! GSP has been a bread I have wanted my whole life and we pulled the plug and got one. Dunfur kennels came highly recommend and they did not disappoint. Ragnar went for his fourteen week training and he came out of it looking like a future hunting dog. We live over five hours away and Dan was very good at communicating with us and send pictures and videos of his progress. We are very please with how great they are and how well Ragnar progressed in two weeks and we can’t wait for his next rounds. I highly recommend Dan and Zac for training your dogs!!!

I’ve spent so much time and money trying to train my border collie/ Australian shepherd. He is incredibly smart, but also very independent and stubborn. Kaslo spent about 4 weeks with Dunfur kennels and I am so impressed with his progress. He is less reactive to new people, he no longer pulls on walks, he listens on first instruction, and his recall is nearly perfect. The owner and his team treated Kaslo well and provided a structured environment for him to learn. What a change training with Dunfur has made. I highly recommend. Thank you!

Dan and Zac are highly professional trainers. I dropped my Brittany off at 12 weeks and they had him pointing live birds and conditioned to shotguns in less than two weeks. I then dropped off my Brittany at 6 months of age and they worked him through basic obedience and still put him on live birds, steadying, and additional shotgun conditioning. The best part is they let me tag along for training for two days and I learned A LOT! They showed me how to continue training my Brittany between visits, how to start forced fetch, how to get my Britt in the mindset to train, as well as a lot of other little pieces of advise. I got to watch older pointers, and younger ones from many different breeds and asked a ton of amatuer questions. They answered all my questions and then welcomed me back for a couple more days before I picked him back up. They are absolutely impeccable with training and Dan cooks a mean lunch too. They sanitize the kennel numerous times per day, no smell, and give your pup a good shower before letting him come home. Lastly, after spending two days following and shadowing, I realized they are super busy. There is only so much light in a day to get the job done. He is training hunting dogs, training non-hunting dogs, conditioning dogs to horses with live horses. I am so impressed with his operation. My breeder in Idaho did not hesitate when recommending Dan and Zac. I am 100% never using anyone else to ever train any of my pups. He has had clients continue to use him for 30 years, that says everything I need to hear. So if you need a professional, no nonsense, get your dog right trainer, this is THE guy. If you need your pup to stay over night because you have a business trip, this is the cleanest kennel in the business. I more than give them my highest recommendation. These other negative reviews are just people who who probably flat out don't understand the process. Spend one day following them around and it will change your perspective, this is a professional, serious kennel, and the dogs absolutely love them. Lastly, they work on the dogs timeline to be trained as well which means they really care about getting it right. If it takes a week, then it is a week, if it takes a month then a month, the important thing is they want the dog to reach the dogs potential. As a dog owner and hunter, that is all I can ask for. This is a kennel that has been in business for 30 years with no advertising except word of mouth so when you are this busy based off word of mouth, you are doing it right. Thank you very much for teaching my boy how to do what he was bred to do.

Dan and Zach with Dunfur Kennels, are hard working people who are passionate about what they do. The kennel is always in great shape and multiple times throughout the day the kennel is washed down/sanitized. If you are looking for a place to get you're dog trained I can guarantee that Dunfur Kennels will do everything they can to get the most out of the dog, from basic obedience all the way to finished gun dog work. Great trainers, facilities and even better people.

My two Setters spent 8 weeks with Dan and during that time I visited 4 times from Boise and worked with Dan and Zack approximately 6 days. I was always welcomed, learned as much as my dogs and treated with respect. Make no mistake, this is boot camp and it’s all about discipline, training, repetitive reinforcement and step by step learning. I read reviews, research and trust but verify...I am not Dan’s friend writing this. I am very pleased with the results but it is my responsibility to take this learning experience into the field this fall and I believe what Dan has taught me and my dogs will make this transition an easier one....coming from an avid Chukar hunter and dog owner since ‘83

I brought my less than 2 year old lab here for about a month while I was on the road working. Previously, my dog had been field trained by myself. He had been around live birds, guns, and other gundogs and had no issues. I figured bringing him to this kennel would be a great addition to his skill set and mine as well, based on their awards and other reviews. I apparently was misinformed by the staff. The day I dropped him off I was told he'd be learning some forced fetch and be put on live birds. The day I picked him up I didn't recognize him. He lost a ton of weight (I could see his ribs) and his overall demeanor was terrible. Very cowardice. Just overall not normal behavior for an non-nudered lab. Apparently, he was trained to walk properly on a leash and to be in total obedience towards me. I will say if that's what you're looking for, they do a good job. I spent the following two+ weeks nursing my dog's mental health back into shape. He wasn't eating, he wouldn't come close to me in the home, and he constantly had explosive diarrhea in his kennel and around the home. Be sure you're signing your dog up for the proper training at this kennel

I have taken dogs to Dunfur for training and boarding for years, and also bought a pup from him. We have gotten to be friends over the years, but he has no idea I am posting this. My dogs are always clean and happy when I pick them up. Always healthy and in good condition, too. The kennels are kept very clean and they spend a lot of time sanitizing the place, especially the runs and food bowls. I have always scheduled a drop off and pick up time and date and it has always gone smoothly getting my dogs there and back. I am really skeptical of these other reviews- they do not match my experience at all.

Dan is a gun dog trainer of National Champions. He trained both of our Brittanys and we are very happy with the results. Working with him and our dogs, I learned more about dogs, birds, and humans than I ever thought possible.

He says "...or maybe it's just magic, I don't know." It sure seems like magic, but it is all talent, experience and skill. They were able to do more in a week with our pup than we have been able to do in over 6 months. We will be back and will highly recommend Dunfur Kennel to others. Thanks.

Zach worked wonders with a lab I adopted when he was almost a year old. He took an untrained dog and made him a good hunting dog and a wonderful companion. My dog is always happy to see Zach and be at Dunfur kennel.

I wish I could leave 11 stars. Paradise Pet is one of the best things we ever did for our pup. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and really cares about your dog. We started taking Benji to daycare around 5 months old and it quickly became his favorite place ever. We also boarded him here multiple times. He always came home tired and happy. Staff informed us on any positive or negative behaviors that day. The facility is clean, spacious, with enrichment classes available. Grooming is well done and affordable as well. The frequent photos to Facebook make us so happy, especially when we’re out of town. Our dog is 100+ lbs and has high excitability. I felt extremely confident leaving him with the staff, they have clearly worked with many types of dogs and know what each breed, age, temperament needs. In contrast, we recently moved to a new city and tried a couple doggie daycares here and can’t stop thinking about how lucky we were to have Paradise Pet. We genuinely didn’t know how bad some places out there can be (dog comes home smelling like urine, dehydrated, hadn’t gone potty recently - to name a few) and now that we’ve seen both sides, I can confidently say Paradise Pet is the best of the best. We miss you all!

We love Paradise Pet Resort! When we first were looking for a place to board our dogs, we were able to do a trial run and also take a tour of the facility. It’s very clean, well maintained, and the staff makes sure to have a safe environment. Our dogs have been boarded here countless times and we have always been more than satisfied with the care our dogs receive while we are away. We especially love the almost daily photo updates! Thank you PPR for giving us peace of mind!

Our dog, Marius, has been coming here since he was a puppy and they’ve always been phenomenal with him! When we added our second dog, Bennett, to the family, we knew we could trust Paradise Pet Resort to love and care for him too. Whenever we go out of town, our dogs stay here and they always have a blast! I also love that we get to see pictures of the doggos each day, they always look so happy during their stay. We can’t imagine leaving our boys anywhere else but here when we travel.

Cassie always comes back happy and tired after staying at Paradise Pet Resort. She loves going and getting the opportunity to play and socialize with other dogs. They always seem to recognize her when she arrives and we’ve never had any problems with her care I’m very particular about who I leave Cassie with and Paradise Pet Resort came highly recommended from many friends.

My dogs absolutely loved there first board last night. It makes me so happy that I found a place I can my dogs when we go on long day trips and on vacations. My dogs had so much fun that when I got them home they just slept for hours.

Everyone is so kind. My dog is 10 years old and never really socialized. The staff has worked with him and have been tremendous!

I love this place! Every staff I’ve interacted has been pleasant, they’re organized, understanding, but most of all, I thought my dog won’t play with other dogs when I take him to dog parks, but here, he loves playing here. I love that they post (almost) daily pictures of the dogs and when I see my dog playing and having the time of his life, I know I picked a good place to take care of him. Thank you guys!

We needed a place to board our dog while out of town and came across Paradise Pet Resort through a general Google search. After doing some pretty extensive research (we have never used a boarding facility or doggy daycare before), I gave them a call to set up a trial session. After 4 days of daycare, 9 nights of boarding and a few enrichment classes - I can truly say that Paradise Pet Resort is incredible. The staff is so friendly and they love your fur baby like it’s their own. Plus they post pictures all the time on Facebook so it’s fun to see!!! Our dog ended up needing to go to the vet while we were out of town, but they were so thoughtful, communicative, and organized that it made what should have been a stressful situation a breeze. Our dog, Ahsoka, already can’t wait to go back for more fun!

Today was Nala Rose’s trial for full time day-care. I was very nervous at the beginning but was reassured by the amazing front desk crew. Upon picking her up, (with a pass!), I got to see the phenomenal layout they have the dogs in. Well cleaned and maintained, and most of all, great strategies to avoid issues I’ve seen at many other daycares! Nala Rose cant wait to come back tomorrow to see her new friends! So happy to join the pack. Here’s a TIRED AND HAPPY Nala Rose!

First time leaving our dogs with Paradise Pet Resort for a long weekend. They were recommended to me and everything went great. The dogs were happy and tired when they got home. We will definitely be back!

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

If there was an option for zero stars I’d put that! I left my 3 dogs in this kennel over Memorial Day weekend 22. Apparently they are under new management. I would NEVER bring any animal here. They ask you to bring food in a tub for your animal. I bagged am and pm feedings individually for each of my babies and had them clearly marked and separated for ease of feeding. Two of my dogs have extreme anxiety and one of them has medication for it. The 100lb puppy was not fed over the weekend, has a scrapes on his nose from pushing on the lid, probably wanting food and is limping. Only one of the dogs feedings were gone. And one bag of the feedings from the other two were gone. When I called, the new owner, Patrick seemed like it was normal and wouldn’t even consider partial reimbursement and abruptly ended the conversation, hanging up on me. After he tried telling me my dogs were playing with other dogs through the gate- which is not a thing. My German Shepard is dog aggressive through fences. The lies came so easily for him. No compassion and doesn’t care about the well-being of the animals in his facility- just the money. I am appalled by the integrity of not only the facility, but him as a person. He is retired military yet lacks in integrity and it’s disheartening. Everywhere else is expensive but the treatment of your animals here isn’t worth the sacrifice.

We use West Wind Kennels for our two dogs whenever we go out of town. They have very nice indoor runs and on-site grooming, so our pups are clean and smelling good when we pick them up. They take excellent care of our pets, and we feel very comfortable with leaving our pets there while we travel. I think they love our dogs almost as much as we do.

My dog visited West Wind for the first time yesterday. We've always used a chain groomer before for convenience, but decided to try this company that's close to home. I will NOT be returning to the chain groomer. This is Bean's new groomer. They were very sweet and patient, but I kinda expect that from dog groomers. You don't go into that business if you don't like animals. Wonderful people, but what impressed me was the difference in skill. She was matted pretty badly from a winter of wearing a shirt and they untangled her shame, leaving her fur as soft and sweet as when she was a newborn pup. It's been almost 24 hours since she was there and she still smells wonderfully. I've owned cavies for about 15 years now and I can honestly say I've never had one smell nice the day after a bath, but she spent hours playing with us outside yesterday and still smells beautifully. I've never been so satisfied with a dog grooming in all my life. Thank you, West Wind Kennels. You'll be seeing us again.

Have taken my kitty there couple times now. Staff is good and felt like my fur ball was well taken care of. Will definitely continue going back

This place used to be so fantastic for my furbabies until they sold it a few years ago. If I could give them no starts now, I would. I no longer trust this place with my animals.

We have always had great experiences with the staff and our dogs. Very reasonably priced. Will continue to take my dogs there when we travel.

Love the new friendly family Owners & Groomers! Organized, clean, affordable, accommodating. Our Pups came back Spiffy & tails a waggin'! Will definately go back!

Tank and Maizie were in great condition and spirts when we picked them up. Good place for them to spend the weekend!

We boarded two fur babies and, as always, were grateful for the care given them. The only problem was that while grooming our babies, a nail on one paw was cut too close, so we will be walking with a limp for a few days.

Staff is very friendly. I was a little concerned since my dog is older and doesn't like strangers. I gave tips on how to approach her, since all dogs are different. The staff was very understanding and put me at ease. I would leave her here again.

Our dog Scout loves to come to PlayNStay. He always is happy and excited when he gets to go to daycare! He comes home played out which makes for a restful evening for everyone. The staff is friendly, personal and kind. They are very knowledgeable of the dogs and owners. Scout has his spa days here as well and come home clean and smelling great - I have never had a negative experience. Would definitely recommend PlayN Stay even if it is to just have your dog enjoy some social time with others once in awhile .

Play N Stay and the employees are FANTASTIC. I was so nervous to leave my small dog somewhere when I traveled to see family for a week, but they put my fears to ease. Sam and Josh, as well as the other employees were so kind And made my dog feel comfortable and took great care of her. It makes the difference when you can see the employees actually enjoy their job and love animals. I will continue to use this establishment as they are top-notch.

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.

They took care of our two dogs for 11 days, including my 15 year old lab mix who is quite geriatric. She came back more energetic than she has been in months. Our younger dog, a shelter rescue who is very skittish, was comfortable around them. I plan on using this service again when we fly out of Spokane.

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 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!!”

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lauri took amazing care of our small farm while we were out of state! She managed nearly 40 head of sheep, a horse, guardian dogs, chickens & cats like a pro. Lauri also kept my tomatoes alive and well for me. 🥰She paid attention to every detail and gave us such peace of mind while being so far away. We would highly recommend their services!

A Whole Lot of Service at a Great Price Excellent and surprisingly comprehensive service. Very professional. Lauri exceeded all of our expectations the first day we met her, and then she went above and beyond that for the week we were away. Honestly, I think she loves animals more than paying customers, and there doesn't seem to be much limit to the care she is willing to provide. She collected our mail, watered our horse, checked on our chickens, and even brought the cats catnip just because. Everything was performed exactly as requested, on time and with a clearly conscientious dedication to her work and the animals. I would absolutely hire TLC Pet Sitters again. Thank you Lauri!

I can't recommend TLC Pet Sitters enough! I was looking for "like-home" care for my two dogs and got exactly that and more. Tom and Lauri are both so kind and they love and care for your animals like their own. Super personalized care - I really couldn't ask for more!

Took our 1 year old yellow lab here for a week and he will NEVER go back. Prior to his boarding with these sitters the owner commented on how sweet he was and he was showed the farm where he was mobbed by all of her small aggressive dogs to the point he had to cower behind his mom. After a week at her farm he came home with two 1”+ cuts around his eye that were still bleeding and that probably should be stitched and he appeared to have lost 10 to 15 lbs. She then has the nerve to say that he is agressive to other dogs. If that were the case, it would be the first time since he is well socialized and has never had issues with other dogs or the baby and toddler that he lives with. To top it all off initially she said it would only be $25 a day, but upon returning she charged $30 a day with no explanation.

TLC Pet Sitters cares for my dog like he is their own. He loves them, too, and why wouldn't he with the pampering he gets there! I have peace leaving my pets in their care, and that's saying a lot!

Our boys had the bast time! They played and worked and played some more. Tom and Lauri made them feel like they were home. I'm would recommend them to all my doggy mommies and daddies. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our furry kids!

We have boarded all our dogs here. Just love Tom and Laurie. You can just tell they love the animals they sit. Too bad there is someone else using their name.

The carrot that the dogs get is unmatched. The correspondence to the pet owner is also unmatched. Cannot say enough good things about Lori and Tom's Pet Care Service.

I love my 4 dogs, flock of sheep, chickens and cats...but I think TLC loves them (and takes care of them) even better than I do!

The owners are wonderful. My dog loves them almost as much as she loves us and feels right at home there.

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. :)

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.
