Pet Sitters in Nulls
Crossing, WA

The staff here have numerous accolades for their commitment, training certificates, and involvement in learning, educating, and training of dogs. If you read their Bio, you will see their level of education in their pursuit of excellence. Plus, they are family owned and operated, and take an interest in your dog. I believe they treat my dog like one of the family. He LOVES going to daycare at Centralia Pet Resort. 💯

0 stars. My dog went once and will never return. They advertise daycare and it is not daycare. I had a weird feeling so made sure to ask how my dog did and all 3 guys said she did great and got along well. I asked about the schedule as I heard my dog screaming and she was in a kennel (I specifically said she does not kennel). I was told daycare is in the kennels and get out 3 times a day for 20 mins. I can leave my dog in a house all day long for free. The website states daycare dogs kennel from 11am-1pm. They will kennel your dog all day. When I sent messages today attempting to address these issues for a second time I could not get an answer just nonsense beating around the bush. Don’t waste your money. Don’t put your dog through it.

My family took a 4 day vacation to Great Wolf Lodge and needed a place nearby to board our pup Arlo. He's a very high energy 1 1/2 yr old golden retriever and we had no idea how he would do staying somewhere besides his home for 4 days and 3 nights. But he did great. I can't say enough about this place. It's just a few minutes off the freeway in Centralia and 10 min down Hwy 99 straight to Great Wolf. The property is set back in a residential type area but off of several streets tucked back. There's a beautiful main home the family lives in and then their business is down a gravel driveway to the back. They have a very impressive setup. Several buildings with different purposes. Training, grooming, doggy daycare and boarding. When I saw the property and setup it was obvious they are devoted to what they do. Check-in was easy, I handed Arlo over with collar, leash, a new Tuffy toy with no stuffing, his blanket and his food. They will feed your pup what they feed their dogs for a small extra fee but we felt keeping him on his own diet was best. They provide a raised bed for your dog so we just brought his blanket so he had something from home. They asked about his social behavior and we explained he's gone to the dog park a couple times but hea not an alpha dog so we worry about other dogs being aggressive. So they found a nice female labrador retriever dog for him to play with during his stay. They are very careful to ensure all dogs are current on vaccines and that if dogs aren't fixed they are kept with other unaltered dogs. When we picked Arlo up he was of course excited to see his family. But he was happy, and it was obvious he was well taken care of while he was there. He had outside playtime and got to socialize and we were happy with our experience. Price of $35/night also seemed very fair. Next family trip we will definitely be using their services again!

I had a last minute grooming & single day boarding and they were very accommodating. A very busy establishment with very affordable prices.

I did like this place overall. When I took my dog home after he stayed overnight for a couple days with Centralia Pet Resort I noticed my poor dogs collar was overly tightened while he was there and he couldn't breathe properly and he was basically suffocating for I don’t know how long! So please make sure you examine your pets when you pick them up! I do not recommend this business for proper overnight dog care.

We dropped off our lab for the dog daycare service while we went to Great Wolf Lodge for the day. The staff were all super friendly! She seemed super happy to go and when we picked her up we could tell she had a great day of play. Next time we come back, we’ll definitely make a visit.

Scott, his wife, and son do a fabulous job taking care of our unruly crew. I drive 60 miles from Seattle just to board here. They are the best!!! In 10+ stays they're always happy 😅 …

Our dog is excited to go there. As soon as she hears "are you ready for vacation," she runs to the door.

Second time watching my dog was difficult for them. They are pretty old and not able to handle dogs who have energy. IF you have a dog with a lot of energy DON'T TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. They can't handle it. Plus who knows how much attention they actually give your dog. We picked up our dog who was hungry and had blood shot eyes. Our dog was not invited back, not like we'd bring him back anyway. But they did try and take care of him and put in the effort so 3 stars. They seem pretty ok so I'm bumping it to 4 stars.

I took my daughter's husky here when she was in California to visit. They did such a wonderful job with her! Provided some guidance to my daughter on how to manage a husky as well as fit her collar properly. The difference in behavior in only one day was notable! We will definitely be back.

Our first experience with Nelly's Ark was fabulous. I have two, very bonded lab/gsp pups, littermates 9 years old. Much to my surprise they did very well and we're very happy. I was also thrilled with the results. Of course they did not need clipping but they needed good baths to get a lot of hair out and they needed a good nail clipping as well. This is not something that they do willingly at home. One person they're even exclaimed how happy my boy was when she met him in the bath! I would have bet a lot of money that he would have had his tail between his legs and been shaking during his bath but no, he was greeting everybody with a smile and a tail wag. How could I give this place anything less than five stars!!

Going with a good middle ground 3 star review as I haven't had my pet actually stay here but I took a tour that left a bad taste in my mouth. There is only someone there about 3 times a day according to our tour guide plus kennels are wire walls, this makes me incredibly anxious for reactive or aggressive dogs who they say they will take anyways. No walks are given, just a short yard time. The facility seems run down and has an overpowering chemical smell. Just be cautious please. I went in to take a look before I scheduled to have my dogs there and this place only set me on edge, there's no way I'd feel comfortable leaving them there.

Our dog Honey Bear is a Chihuahua that hates people and will not trust anyone except her own pack, her family of humans. We worry about leaving her anywhere but this time we had no choice. She has a hard character as she will trust no one, but thankfully she was warm and safe and cared for for 5 days and 4 nights last Thanksgiving weekend. She was happy to see us and recovered quickly from her melancholy of missing us. We were thankful she was well cared for in spite of her being a little difficult with strangers as she always is. I've had other places turn us down because they couldn't handle her, but at Nelly's Ark they took good care of her and we are very thankful.

Adora Dee has been going to Nelly's for approximately 6 years and she loves her groomer Kelly, if she is happy I am too. Thank you Nelly's Ark 🙂🥰 …

Our dogs LOVE coming here! The staff is amazing, communicative, and truly love the pets that stay here. ❤️

Our family had a Great Wolf lodge trip planned. We decided to board our 20-month-old, intact male GSD. My wife searched kennels in the surrounding area. Nelly's Ark came up as the best. There is a reason. First off, the facility is clean. You can tell they take pride in its appearance. Second, the staff is top-notch. They were professional, friendly, and respectful. The extra special care they provided for my boy Dutch, was immensely appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone looking to board their pup. Thanks Nelly's. 10/10

I can't say enough good things about Nelly's! They truly care about our dogs and go the extra mile to be sure they're comfortable - whether that's during their grooming session or a few day boarding stay. I feel good dropping my dogs off here, I know they're meticulously cared for. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful business.

My dog went in looking like a used mop! She has long hair and was a mess! She came out looking like a young puppy! Totally beautiful! The staff were kind and friendly.

Have taken our dog Lady there for boarding twice and will again for future trips. She's been well cared for while we were gone for a week both times. Staff is friendly and loving, you can tell they care. Boarding fees are reasonable as well.

Nelly's has been an institution to the locals for pet grooming and boarding for many years. We have used the grooming facility for nail trims a couple times as our prior groomer retired. The price is a little more expensive than other groomers we have used, as we paid $12 cash per each dog. The location is off of a busy highway and right next to a home, so it can be Abita confusing if you are coming from the freeway. Thankfully, they have a couple spots you can pull in that lead to the grooming area. The waiting are is very small and not set up to wait inside for appointments so if you are early for an appointment, keep that in mind. The technician seemed qualified in not only our dogs breed but were educated in the type of nails our dogs have in order to make it as good of an experience for our dogs as possible. One thing of note, they do have office pets wandering around the office, so if you have an uneasy pet around other pets, you may want to go into the office without your pet first to notify the front staff. The front desk have always been courteous and quick to serve any customers that have come in while I was there.

Amy and Rae took care of my kitty, Bella, while I was at a knitting retreat this weekend. I felt so confident that they would make sure that she was fed, watered, litter box cleaned and she was happy! They were able to give Bella her asthma …

Amy and her crew were the best!!! Came and met my animals before and then got on the floor with them and played. They made me feel so comfortable to leave all 4 animals in their care. They came 3 times a day and walked the dogs and loved on …

We used to love River Bend, taking our dog for grooming every two weeks for almost three years, but after Derek took over, it has been a disaster. First, they cut my dog’s nail up the quick and split his nail, which led to 2 emergency …

Best boarding, daycare & vet. So thankful for Riverbend. They have always taken the best care of my dog Mollie and when she needed to be seen by Dr. Fay they took care of that. They have gone above and beyond to make sure my dog was well …

Ziggy loves going to River Bend Pet Center for Play Day. Staff make the experience equally as enjoyable for me. Does not get much better, it is a win win for all. …

My Tater and Tot have been going to Kissy Pet since she was just getting busy! They LOVE all the updates and play areas, they’ve done such a wonderful job making it the best area for dogs of all sizes and personalities. She does pick …

Christina is wonderful with our two goldens! I can trust that they’re happy and well taken care of in her hands. She sends frequent updates with photos. She was also super accommodating and flexible with dates/times when I was throwing last minute plans on her. Highly recommend her when boarding your dog🙂 …

We left our 9 month old labradoodle with Christina for two weeks and she’s amazing. She sent us pictures of our dog playing and having a good time with his friends everyday. She texted how my dog’s day went. Christina even brushed his …

They were accommodating to our needs and came through last minute for us. A wonderful, clean environment. I find it reassuring to know they're there for future reference. I can't recommend them highly enough!

The best boarding facility, the owners awesome people. They took excellent care of my dog. The facility is clean and kept warm on the cold days my dog was there. I will use them again. …

We took our dogs here during spring break. Teresa the owner was great with them. If I messaged her asking for updates she was quick to respond and reassure me my dogs were doing good. We plan to use them again on our next vacation.

Our dog Robin loves staying here when we are on trips. The staff here is amazing and always does a great job grooming her before she gets picked up. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a boarding place in Lacey.

We recently left our dog day care provider because of a conflict in operational requirements of our dogs. The operator running a compliance first, companionship second philosophy. Our dogs don’t need to be in day care regularly, but every …

Been going here since 2022. Service has changed drastically and we will be placing our money elsewhere. Based on Google reviews, there has been sketchy things going on behind the scenes and I’m not even sure that they have a proper fire …
