Pet Sitters in Kettle Falls, WA

Super clean, I get daily updates and pictures. Love that she wants vet records before boarding. Highly recommend this place.

It is said that all you need is "love and a dog." I also need to travel. When I do my 10 year old rescue lab enjoys staying at Critter Camp. He has stayed for weekends and also for longer time periods which have included up to three weeks. I get updates on how my dog is doing when I am on the road. Thank you for serving our community so well, Colville Critter Camp!

This is a great place to leave your dog when needed. Kennels are clean and well maintained. Dogs get out to play. Teri and her staff obviously like dogs and take great care of them. So nice to leave my dog with confidence that she will be well cared for and happy to return for her next visit.

I would highly recommend Colville Critter Camp! The kennels are large and spacious and I love the outdoor play area! Terri is very knowledgeable and you can tell she loves working with dogs. I will definitely be back!

My experience at Colville Critter Camp was nothing short of distasteful and unprofessional. When we arrived to drop off our dogs, the kennels reeked of urine and it was apparent it had not been cleaned thoroughly for a bit. The attitude from the staff was nothing good either, we were treated as if we were an inconvenience and quickly rushed in and out despite there being practically little to no line. They didn’t seem to know what was going on and didn’t even ask for payment; we had to be the one to remind them to take the check. They sent us through a last-minute chase to get a vaccine for our dogs only to not even request to even see the paperwork when we were in person. In short, it was extremely unorganized and unprofessional. When we came back to pick up our dogs at 11:30 AM, nobody was there. On their website, their hours claim to be 8 AM - 5 PM Monday through Saturday. We had to call the owner multiple times in order to reach her because nobody was attending the dogs during work hours. She responded on the third call and explained that she was on a “cruise in Canada” which is outrageous. If you’re going to go on a cruise, then do NOT take new customers. I would not like to see the excuse of it being last minute because even still, you can make sure not to take new customers in order to prevent a terrible experience like this. When she was calling us, she had an annoyed tone as if we were inconveniencing her relaxing vacation while we waited 20 minutes for someone to show up to give us our dogs. Her tone was snarky, especially when she said that staff were “unavailable and couldn’t be there for 10 minutes, so you’ll just have to wait. Bye.” There were dogs just left outside without supervision which is incredibly unprofessional as they could easily hurt themselves or find a way to escape. Even when another staff arrived, we were STILL treated with disrespect and blatant disregard for our situation and as if, again, we were an inconvenience. She hurried us out because she didn’t want to be there. When we asked her about feeding, she said the next feeding was at 1pm despite us clearly giving her instructions multiple times to feed our dogs at 12. We were under the impression that staff would be there from 8am-5pm, but instead, the staff member shrugged and said “I just show up at 6:30AM-9AM and then 1PM-4PM.” Due to the website stating staff would be with our animals, this is OUTRAGEOUS as we were outright lied to about our dogs getting proper time. This means that our animals were sitting in kennels without ANY play time and probably 1-2 pee times a day. I looked through the materials we provided them (treats, letters regarding what they like/dislike — which was encouraged to be provided by the way, toys, etc) and not a bit of it was touched. The letters regarding details about them were at the bottom of the bin, clearly not touched and not a single treat was gone from the bag despite us instructing them to give them to the dogs freely. Our dogs seemed like they were not played with and once more, the kennels smelled wretched as if they were not cleaned. When our dogs came home, they seemed dehydrated and couldn’t get enough of the water bowl. There was one singular thing good about our boarding experience that gained them one star: our dogs were not malnourished or injured — the BARE MINIMUM. I don’t recommend this place as our experience here was not worth the money whatsoever, so I say to anyone who’s thinking of boarding here: Stay far away and board your dogs elsewhere.

My pup Sitka has been to critter camp multiple times and I’ve only had good experiences. The owner is attentive and professional and my pup is always happy to see her and go to her! Thank you Teri!

I would highly recommend letting your furry friends stay or play at Colville Critter camp. The owner Terry and her family take great care of all their doggie guests and treat them as if they were their own. I was away on a trip that got extended twice and Terry graciously looked after and loved our puppy until I got home. She keeps her kennels clean, warm and safe and loves on all the dogs she cares for. She even sent me update videos so I could see how my dog was doing which allowed me to relax while I was away. If you need a place for your puppy pals while you’re away this is the place to take them. They will be well cared for until you return!

Only place we entrust with our fur babies. The care goes above and beyond what you would normally expect from a boarding facility. Terri is very diligent with keeping her kennels clean and free of illness. The facility is very well organized and provides plenty of space for the dogs to play indoors and outdoors! She carefully screens and gets to know her four legged guests before their stay to ensure a great experience with all types of temperaments. She also has many years of knowledge and experience in K9 health. We had so much peace during our two week vacation knowing that our two dogs were safe, healthy, and happy at Colville Critter Camp. Bonus: she even groomed them before our return!

Colville Critter Camp is the absolute best! The facility is very clean and plenty of room for fur babies to play. Terri is amazing. She was able to train my very active, overstimulated Shepadoodle. He is now a polite gentleman. He absolutely loves going to see Terri. Hands down the best kennel I’ve ever used.

The facility is wonderful- super clean, safe, & fun for the dogs! The owner is so kind and you can tell really loves the dogs and what she does! Our pup will definitely be back😊 …

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Deer Bark Boarding is a great place to leave your fur babies! We felt relaxed on our trip knowing he would be taken care of and safe. Tucker came home happy and that made us happy!! We will be boarding here again. Carrie is so nice and sweet and takes good care of the animals.

Carrie’s operation is the cleanest I have used over the years. It is obvious that she cares about her charges and it shows. Our two Aussies enjoy staying with her. I highly recommend Deer Bark Boarding. Carrie also helped us find a groomer in Deer Park that is amazing!

I can not say enough good things about Deer Bark Boarding. I love how Carrie runs her facility. As a dog mom of a reactive and apprehensive dog I have never felt more confident and comfortable leaving my babies for extended vacations. I have used other boarding services around Spokane and been extremely disappointed and concerned when my dogs came back ‘different’ and depressed. I trust when my dogs are in Carrie’s care that they are well cared for and treated like her own pets. Her facilities are extremely well kept, updated and worth every penny for the more ‘private’ boarding experience!

What a great thought out facility! We have a crew! 4 total and 1is blind. Carrie made special accommodations for her! The rest were able to access their own outside area, in and out thourought the day is a big deal! Plus playtime in the big yard! I didn't worry about them one bit. Peace of mind your pets are safe and well cared for is PRICELESS! 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is the only boarding facility that my husband and I will be taking our dogs! Carrie is absolutely amazing and we love the clean and spacious areas she has for the dogs. We have two Saint Bernards puppies and the care that they received was top notch. We loved the pictures that Carrie sent to us during their stay. We have already made our next reservation!

Carrie took great care of our dog during our visit to northeast Washington. She's great with the dogs and her human clients, and went out of her way to accommodate our last second request. We will not hesitate to use Deer Bark Boarding during our next visit to the area.

I have a special need dogs, he has Epilepsy and is very anxious to be separated from us. Carrie was amazing! I had another kennel lined up that fell through. I contacted Deer Bark the day before I needed boarding services and they were able to accommodate us. Carrie was excellent at communicating issues my dog was having with taking his medication. She made me feel comfortable that my dog was in great hands while I was gone. This was my dog's first experience being boarded and I can't say enough good things about Carrie and Deer Bark. The kennels was pristine and very roomy, really it's more like a doggie hotel. I will definitely being contacting her for any future boarding needs!

I had the best experience leaving my dogs at Deer Bark. The facility is very clean and Carrie made sure to send updates throughout the week with photos! My pups were so happy and calm when I picked them up so I know they were well taken care of. I will definitely be leaving my dogs here in the future!

We have boarded our dogs over many years. Deer Bark by far is the best experience we have had. Our dog has separation anxiety and in the past after boarding he would end up with a bout of gastroenteritis. We stopped boarding him for over a year after our last experience. He was a guest at Deer Bark for 7 nights and he has had no ill effects. We will definitely board our Mo again. The facility is clean, with indoor/outdoor combined kennels. A huge play area for dogs to run. We are thankful to Carrie for the wonderful care she provided Mo in our absence.

So happy to have found Deer Bark Boarding for our fur baby! We love how communicative Carrie is. We had been to a few other boarding locations around town, but once we found Deer Bark we knew we had found our spot! Thank you Carrie for providing such great care of our little guy while we are gone, always feels good to know he is in great hands!

I have used this place for daycare and boarding for 3 years now. My dog is so well cared for and they play with the dogs. Everyone seems happy and they are very nice people.

We have utilized Alpha Dogs for both of our dogs since 2009 for both daycare services and for boarding. The owners and their team have always been attentive and caring, while their pricing, including the discounted passes that they offer for advance purchase, have always been more than fair. Our dogs are now 15 y/o and 13 y/o and we never have concerns about their care with these folks. Lee, Scott, and your team, thanks for all you do.

We’ve been taking our huge, high energy dog here for about a year. He is always so excited to go, gets excited when he sees each employee, and sleeps well when he comes home. The employees know all of our dog’s little quirks and have helped teach our dog new skills. The location is super convenient for working downtown and the value for money is great compared to other doggy daycares in the area.

This month is the 7th year anniversary for my older Australian Shepard and the 2nd anniversary for my younger Australian Shepard at Alpha Dogs where they spend 1-2 days/week at DayCare and all their boarding days which is 3-4 weeks a year while I travel. The dogs love going to this very clean, open floor plan place run by the same owners for the whole time I have lived in Spokane. I especially love their boarding conditions as they are around all their usual dog companions all the workday and for two extended period on each weekend and Holiday(where there is usually at least 5 other of their dog friends). I am more satisfied with how Alpha Dogs is run than anywhere else I have used DayCare and Boarding in the 39 years I have owned dogs as an adult. They also have the most reasonably priced boarding of any place i have ever lived. Lee & Scott, the owners, are two very special, caring dog owners and treat all the dogs there like family!

Drove by location to check it out before we dropped off our pup. Very sketchy neighborhood and it seems as if there is no one there caring for the dogs. The facility itself has little room for outdoor play, similar to a 2 car wide parking lot. Upon drop off attempt we were met with aggression as we were confused on the drop off times. They were at first saying we missed our drop off day by 3 days, and only seconds later were saying we missed the drop off time by 2 hours. Seems very poorly managed and the customer service is severely sub par. I would advise anyone to search for a different option! If they are aggressive towards the customer, imagine how they are behind closed doors to your beloved pup! Ahh!

Alpha dogs has taken excellent care of our dog. Initially she was very shy and now she has become more of a social butterfly. The review that was posted rating this as a one-star place is obviously a scam. Couldn't imagine a better place to take our dog. There are definitely no shock collars used hear otherwise our dog wouldn't be so eager to come back. Great place with great ownership at a very reasonable price!

I have used Alpha Dogs for my Pit and Husky and am more than pleased with their services. I would recommend them to all my friends! My dogs come home happy and tired. Great service and very knowledgeable about training practices and breed specific issues. They do NOT use shock collars, they use pet safe vibrating collars and I actually purchased one to use on my pup who is an incessant barker, they do not cause harm and do exactly what they sound like, they vibrate. If you need a daycare, this is the place to go!

My dog, Potter, loves coming here! He gets excited when we pull up to the building. You can tell they pay very close attention to every dog, for they found out if my dog would like to play with the small dogs or the big dogs instead of just putting him in one of them. (He is medium sized) they are very friendly and offer a great doggy day care service.

We sent our dog to Alpha Dog late summer, and by this winter we removed him from there. At first our pup loved it. He is a very happy pup that gets along with all people and all other dogs, but it did NOT take long before we started noticing things at home. First, he stopped eating and was acting depressed. We noticed when we'd take him in or pick him up if the owners/workers weren't up front when we first got there, that there was a lot of "yelling" at the dogs in the back....and I don't mean yelling to the dogs as in giving them a command, but gruff yelling and mean sounding. We could hear this from the front counter. Okay, dog's don't understand the difference. They only know by our tones. The owners and their daughter seem to be the worst at speaking in a very harsh manner almost mean tone to the pups. They say they have a great amount of training in "dog behavior," but I've not seen it in their application with the dogs nor their vocabulary in speaking. When you drop off and pick them up, they do make your dog sit, by command in gruff voice or even pushing their behinds down to sit. That is the only exercise I've seen them use their "behavioral training" on the animals. Finally and this was the straw that broke the camel's back; our pup came home with signs of shock collar use...throwing up food, even water, depressed and hating to wear his own halter/harness, which he hadn't before. Now I realize that shock collars are not illegal to use in this state, but to use them in a doggie day care without the knowledge and especially the permission of the owner is unethical and immoral at best. Dogs can't talk and they can't tell you what's going on, so you can only see by their demeanor, behavior, spirits or possibly if they have any physical residual effects from treatment. They didn't ask for our permission or give us the knowledge that their facility uses or even has shock collars on the premises. There's no way they asked our permission, because there's no way I'd agree to this or would have left our dog there if I'd known that they even had shock collars in the facility. It's like they can't control the dogs with their "animal behavioral" training, so they just shock collar them. The other thing about this place that is very sketchy is they will not let you go in the back...like at all. I realize that they can't allow people to just come and go in the back for safety reasons, but you would think they'd allow tours or visits at certain times so people can see where they are sending their pups each day! Other facilities do allow tours. I asked for one at Alpha Dogs when we first signed on...they wouldn't allow it. By the way, we did take our pup to the vet, we did get the shock collar symptoms checked out as our pup was only showing these symptoms while at Alpha Dog. In addition, their "nanny cam" that could give you any kind of solace or piece of mind to watch your pup while he/she is at this facility isn't working half the time ("it's down" they say) and when it is working it only shows a very small vantage point. Not a terrible place to take your dog if you have absolutely no other choice as they have great pups there to socialize with your pup, but the way it's run is a 1 star and only because first, Google Review doesn't allow for 1/2 stars, and 2)the pup to pup socializing that goes on is great. Otherwise, it would be a "1/2 star." Some of the workers that aren't related to the owners that are general hires were actually nice to us and the dogs, didn't hear them yelling, but unfortunately the owners are not kind and if they aren't friendly to your pups in front of you and you hear them speaking harsh to dogs in the back when you're standing there listening, how else are they treating them when they THINK no one is looking/listening? Just know when you take your fur baby to Alpha Dogs that they may very well use a shock collar on your pup without your permission, especially if you have a high energy or friendly, out going dog that they feel is hard to control.

We've been taking our dogs here for a little over a year now. They love it there. This is the only dog daycare in the area with an outdoor option. The staff are kind and friendly. They always treat our pups well. Highly recommend.

Jeanne and her family take care of our Shepherd when we are away. They treat her like family. Ellie loves playing with the kids and other dogs, and she is so excited to visit. We look forward to receiving photos and videos showing just how much fun she is having. We have peace of mind knowing that Ellie is not only safe and secure but is having as much fun as we are. We highly recommend Sand Canyon Pet Sitting. Five stars aren't enough.

We went to Glacier and Jeanne not only picked up our pups but dropped them off when we got home to make it easier on us. It was amazing. We got regular pictures and updates of our 3 pups while we were gone. The pups were loved and spoiled and exactly what we needed to have while we were gone. It was amazing not taking them to a boarder and our pups being put in a crate or small area to sleep and only let out to play so often. Our dogs were treated as if they were Jeanne and her family's own pups.

My dog Scout and I love Sand Canyon Pet Sitting! He is treated like a member of their family when being boarded so much that he does not want to leave! Sand Canyon Pet Sitting send me photos to reassure that Scout is relaxed and chill while I am away! They take the best care of my pet and this owner!

I have not had my pets stay here, and if my husband will take me somewhere, I'd have Jeanne watch my fur kids in a heartbeat. I know her personally. She is the most down to earth, animal-loving, responsible person I know. Your pets will be well cared for and kept safe while you are away. Cannot say enough about this wonderful family.

Jeanne is absolutely the best. Her home is clean, comfortable, and the space for the animals to be in their home away from home lacks nothing! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dogs to be safe, loved on, and completely taken care of. You won’t regret it!

Missy (adult female schnauzer mix, only dog in household) was with them for a week and was taken care of like a queen. Other dogs there got along great with Missy and she didn’t have anxiety about being away from her family. Didn’t have to worry about her at all. Will use Sand Canyon Pet Sitting again for sure! Thank you for your great service!!

I was very pleased and impressed with Sand Canyon Pet sitting. The owner and her family took amazing care of my lab. I received updates and had great communication. Your dog may never want to leave!

We love having a place for Ash to go where she is loved and treated like family. I don’t know what we would do without Jeanne. She is just so sweet and patient. ☺️

Jeanne is amazing! She treats your dogs like family and you’ll never have to worry about them while they’re in her care. Best dog sitter around! Highly recommend!

The animals they take care of here are treated like one of the family and are well taken care of. Such a kind and generous family that would go above and beyond for your fur babies needs. I wouldn’t recommend any other business for a place for your pets to go on a vacation while you are away. I love this family!!!

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!

Looking for a friendly place to house your dog while you’re away? Look no further than Okanogan Valley Pet Resort where Jim will welcome your pet and insure that their stay is great. I left my big dog there while I was in Alaska and when I returned she was obviously happy, cleaned up, and ready to go—even after hours! You can’t beat the price nor the location nearly in the center of a lovely orchard. It’s roomy so the dogs have plenty of space to play. It’s the only place I’ll leave my pet in the future.

Very good experience. I have never had to kennel my 3 year old lab mix before. The staff was kind and I could tell when I picked him up he had a great time and had no anxiety. I would highly recommend this kennel service to anyone!

Clean, responsive, friendly, and reliable. Peace of mind for a great price. Our dogs love staying here.

Jim, the owner, is great. My blue heelers had a good experience and all the other dogs interact positively with the staff so you know they get treated well. Highly recommend and will use them for my future pet needs. Thanks again .

We've been taking our 2 boys to the pet resort for years. Amazing facility, with equally amazing care. Jim & family are very caring, animal loving people. You couldn't ask for better care. Okanogan Valley Pet Resort is highly recommended

Can't say enough good about them! Our dog is always cared for so well, loves playing with the other dogs and in the pool. The rates are very reasonable and they're so accommodating. Wonderful family business!

Best dog resort and boarding there is in Okanogan County. They actually care about your pet, which is family in their eyes. Facility is top notch. Tons of room to play for your pet and the amenities are endless. Luxury condos are really cool and your dog will love it.

Kennels were clean, and the staff were fantastic.

The are amazing with my Saint Bernard who goes there daily for Doggie Daycare! The are a little high for weekly daycare but as long as my dog is happy and taken care of I am willing to pay their price!

This has been a remarkable "second home" for my over-spoiled dog. As opposed to other places I have used in the past, when I pick her up she is happy to see me, but not anxious and not especially ready to leave. What a relief to leave her in such good care.

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. :)
