Pet Sitters in Opportunity

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!

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.

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!

David AKA Trainor is a master at his craft which is Dog Training. We enrolled Obi our almost 6 month old German Shepherd into David’s 2 week training program. Obi has made strides in so many areas he is no longer mouthing everything and everyone especially the kids. He isn’t nipping fingers when taking a treat. He isn’t pulling away while walking either. I appreciate David’s insight into continuing training ourselves outside the class to maintain the work done. Thank you sir appreciate you and excited to stay in touch for follow ups with Obi.

My experience with trainer was all positive. He really loves the dogs, he works for the dogs not for the money.

I had an issue that another trainer didn't really address so I called paws for love and David walked me through the issue step by step over the phone for free and it practically solved the problem. Without pushing me me to just pay for lessons with him. He seems like he genuinely cares about helping pets have happy lives over making money.

Trainer is a scam. Do not take your dog to him. We paid over $1000 for behavioral training, and all he did was teach her how to sit. To this day, we still employ the tactics he taught us hoping that they will work. It never does. If we could get our money back, we would. This dude is not to be trusted. Edit: actually… we did call you. And you did come out. And nothing changed. But you sat in our living room and guaranteed us a rehabilitated dog. But that never happened. You took her for two weeks, it didn’t work, we called you you came back out, we still don’t have a rehabilitated dog. Don’t sit there and try and blame us for not calling you when in reality we actually did. It’s just really sad that we pay you all this money, and you can’t even remember the interactions with your clients. I still think you’re a scam! It’s humorous to me that you claim in 53 years, you’ve only had one negative review, when you only have five reviews. Lol Edit: Ok, so you admit, we did contact you. Lmao. Even though my wife had seen you around town, she wouldn’t say anything because we don’t trust you. We don’t want you in or at our house. Say what you want, you’re not going to change our opinion. I still believe you’re a scam who doesn’t know what your doing. And I still believe you stole our $1,000!

My boy chewy seems like he learned a lot, he was a rescue and went in with high anxiety..look at him now 🥰 …

Works wonderful with dogs.

Absolutely amazing strong trainer

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. :)

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.

Found amazing reviews online and set up a meet and greet for our Beasty boy. Everything was so calm and organized when we walked in which blew my mind! My boy was nervous as to be expected but never seemed upset or tense. We than did a two night three day stay. Our last boarding experience had kept us from going anywhere we couldn’t bring him along. Jessica completely eased our minds about the whole process, was extremely thorough covering all the bases for needs and care. After drop off I was nervous but we got daily updates with pictures and stories and honestly my heart felt put at ease. When we picked him up he was calm!!! Previously he would be sick,shaking, just overall sick from the stress NOT THIS TIME!! He was happy to see us but he was calm and happy. I had to hug her!!! Now and forever our boys vacation spot!! I wish I could give more stars!!!

I dreaded leaving Murphy, my 11-month-old pup, for boarding while I went on a family trip. After researching, we found Jessica and I’m so pleased we did. Murphy was there for 8 days and came home healthy and exhausted from playing with all his new friends. Jessica sent me pictures and updates. She’s very in tune with each of the animals in her care. Her home and yard are clean, but still very pet friendly. Jessica is efficient and thorough with her business and necessary paperwork but loving and attentive toward the pets in her charge.

My young dog has separation anxiety. Jessie has provided daycare and boarding for her. Jessie is patient, welcoming, attentive and willing to share her advice. She has great control over all of the dogs and they respect her and her house. It is a clean, calm, and inviting place for people and dogs alike. I do not have to worry about my dog being anxious in her care, which is great peace of mind. Thanks so much!

Jessica's home was a great boarding destination for my dog! She was extremely responsive with any questions I posed and gave daily updates. It was an engaging environment for my dog, Barley, and Barley seems to have enjoyed her time (though I'm not a dog psychic).

Jess is amazing with my dogs. She is very personable and professional. I love her home atmosphere and how much love and attention she gives her clients( two legged and four).

Lewis O. Potamus is a 1 year old American Bully (American Baby…more like it). He is adored by our family, goes to work with my husband and I and is very…very spoiled. When I first asked Debbie about booking Lewis she politely declined and told me the safety of the dogs in their care was their number 1 priority and they don’t take pit breeds. I wasn’t offended at all, and appreciated a facility that would carefully vet breeds and dogs. I explained to her Lewis’ disposition, showed her some videos of Lewis playing with my sister’s doodle and my in laws boxers (all our dogs are with us always and we take them to eachothers homes- all are very well socialized and trained). Debbie agreed to take Lewis on a trial bases and we have used Cozy Kennels 3-4 times now. They take such good care of the puppies in their care!!! Lewis is always so happy when we pull in!! He very social and stayed at another kennel once when Cozy was booked and he didn’t get interaction with other dogs and was not happy. At Cozy Kennels, he gets play time with the other dogs and we know he is in good hands!!! Thank you for putting the safety of the dogs in your care above all else. 5 stars ⭐️

I never leave reviews but this place is deserving. This kennel is spotless, the owners are incredibly caring and answer my texts very timely. It is popular and well liked enough that you'll need to book in advance as soon as you know when you'll need them. I never worry about my dogs wellbeing when I drop them off. I know they'll have a blast and be in good hands and that I can get updates through text and sometimes photos as needed to reassure me.

My Gracie came home from Cozy Kennels exhausted from playing with her friends. They love what they do❤️🐶❤️. They encourage you to call and check on your pet, they even sent us a video of Gracie in the yard with the other dogs. We were not sure how she would do because she hasn’t been around other dogs, so they eased her in and she had a marvelous time😊100% recommend this Kennel ( pet resort )❤️

We always take our dogs here for "camp" when we're out of town. They are well cared for and come home exhausted. What more can you ask for?! Thanks Cozy Kennels!!

It has been a few years since we've had our akbash, Kodi, stay with Dave and Debbie (we have a family member that does not travel anymore, and she stays with our dogs when we leave) however we always recommend Cozy Kennels to friends. Kodi routinely came home very happy, and not showing signs of stress. The first time he stayed, Dave sent us a few videos of Kodi playing with other dogs. It was so sweet being able to SEE him, and know for sure he was doing well. The most recent time, Dave sent Kodi home with a squeaky llama he had fallen in love with 😆 I always appreciated that Dave allows you to see the inside of the kennel area, too. Makes me nervous when kennels refuse to let you see the actual place your dog will be staying.

The kids love going to "camp", very awesome family and kennel. Rates are very affordable especially for more than 1 dog.

We LOVE cozy kennels! You could not find a safer, more professional, cost effective and overall FUN experience for your dogs! We board our 2 adult shepherd mixes here and not only has it improved their social skills but they are always beyond excited to go! We always get updates directly from the owners including videos of our girls running around on their (big!) property with all the other doggies! We are so thankful for them and will continue to use them as long as we live in WA!

Every single time my dogs come home from their visit, they are happy and exhausted from playing! One of my dogs is a nervous girl, and I used to board her somewhere else. She'd come home depressed and with diarrhea for days. Not once, ever, has she had a problem with Cozy Kennels! She comes home just as happy and tired as our young dog! We are customers for life!

I am very impressed with Cozy Kennels. My dog has never been kenneled and I was worried about being separated from her. She was just fine when I picked her up. Dave actually sent me a video of her playing with other dogs. I will definitely be using them again. They rock!!

I am very un-trusting with anyone with my babies. Whenever we go out of town and have to kennel our dogs, I stress and worry the whole time. Usually, when we get home I feel bad because our dogs smell horrible and have crazy looks in their eyes like they just spent the whole time looking at bars. I can honestly say that leaving our pups with Debbie and Dave at Cozy Kennels was such a great experience! First off, I felt comfortable knowing that they were on a personally owned property! Someone that can take their personal home and turn it into a boarding facility for dogs HAS to be a dog lover! When we dropped off our dogs, Dave walked us through the property. It was very clean and fenced off properly. Our dogs were immediately excited and running around wanting to play and sniff everything. While we were away, Debbie sent me updates on how they were doing. I even received a video of them playing with the other dogs! They looked like they were having a blast! This definitely helped to ease my discomfort with leaving them with strangers. The pricing was very reasonable and affordable. When our dogs were picked up they were very happy. We could tell that they were taken care of while we were gone. I would definitely leave them with Debbie and Dave again!

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.

Great place to leave your dogs! I have never left my dogs in a kennel because of the cost. It's never cheap (which is why I don't do it) but this was the most reasonable in the area. The owner was very nice and took good care of my 2 German Shepherds. Will use again!

They are awsome with your pets and their needs . They are one on one with then they just don't open all the doors and hope all the dogs get along with each other.wich is great for my dog staff is so friendly I found my dogs home away from home and don't have to worry at all she's in great hands.

They were so great with our kitty! Would definitely utilize their services again. Very friendly & helpful staff.

My dogs are always welcome here and well taken care of. I like that my dogs can't play with other dogs. They get their own outside time which is important for my young dog. She is very picky about her animal friends, all other places I found had group play. This kennel is set up for just one kennel out at a time. Love them and will not go anywhere else.

Charli was well taken care of. I appreciate Jessica and the extra TLC she gives the pets personally. I had just been in a car accident when I went to pick up my kitty. The owners of Marcinda Kennels, kindly duct taped my car together so that I could drive it home. While I was gone I communicated with them to see how Charlie was doing. I got a reply. emailed right away. I will always take my kitty there.

Great and affordable place to board your dog! The staff seem great and I was able to get updates on my pup.

Marcinda Kennels is wonderful. Marc & Linda are great! Very accommodating and caring. Our Husky was treated very well!

We housed my Mom’s cat Charli at Marcinda for 12 days. We retrieved her last night happy and healthy. They took care to send Mom videos of her getting pets and treats, and all of the individuals I met there are kind and clearly love animals. Charli’s enclosure was a generous size and accommodated her bed, scratching post, blankie and litterbox with ease. It looks like they’re on an old farmstead, so nothing fancy, but the cats have a good situation there for sure. My biggest customer service praise for them is that we had to roust the owner out during the UW/Michigan championship game and they were totally sweet about it. The price is extremely affordable and we’d definitely house our own cat there.

They are concerned about safety of your fur babies. The dog runs are clean. Outside area to run and dig if they are a digger. The lambs are so cute and nothing like fresh eggs from the farm. Very good hearted people. Prices should be 2x-3x more for the going rate of boarding your babies. Be blessed, knowing your babies are well taken care of.

Excellent place. It doesn't have looks, but it makes up that by having an excellent staff. Still run by the original owners who care and experience over being shiny and fancy. Only down side is they recently had to raise their prices, but that is no fault of theirs.

Free Range Boarding is absolutely the best you can do for your dogs! This time my Bull Terrier was literally climbing over my head to get out! The staff is awesome they are always so excited to see the dogs and very thorough with the feeding and medication instructions. They make going on vacation stress free. Pick up is equally emotional as the staff are sad to see them leave! And the dogs are exhausted! They are a gem in Spokane!

I really appreciate the care they provided in getting Murphy settled into their facility. It’s interesting because through this process, I discovered that Murphy has separation anxiety and they took so much care of that. While he didn’t pass the evaluation, I’m grateful that they took time to attempt to make him comfortable, and when he wasn't, called me. Once we work through the triggers for him through training, we’ll try again. Thank you Amy and team!

I love Free Range Boarding! It was my dog's first boarding experience and he came home happy and content. They really care about the dogs and I loved the positivity from everyone. The facility is clean and very organized. I also love how it is out in the country and very peaceful🙂. I would definitely recommend this dog paradise to others!

I have an active ten month old German Shepherd. They worked with him so he could play with the rest of the dogs. I also have a 10 year old shepherd who has had health issues and they have taken good care of him.

From the moment we stepped into Free Range Boarding, it was clear that this wasn't just any pet boarding facility—it was a paradise for pets. The staff welcomed us with open arms and bright smiles, immediately putting us at ease about leaving our furry family member in their care. What sets this center apart is its exceptional communication. They are proactive in reaching out, sending daily updates via text and email, complete with photos and detailed reports on how our dog was doing, and even what their mood was like throughout the day. This level of detail was not only comforting but also built a deep trust in their services. The care they provide is top-notch. The center is clean, well-maintained, and designed with the comfort and safety of the animals in mind. Each staff member is knowledgeable, passionate about pets, and incredibly gentle and patient. It's evident that they don’t just look after the animals; they care for them as if they were their own. Moreover, the range of activities they offer is impressive. Our dog enjoyed supervised play sessions, cozy nap times, and even had a chance to partake in some basic obedience training. It’s clear that Free Range Boarding goes above and beyond to ensure that every pet is not only cared for but also enriched and happy. I cannot recommend Free Range Boarding highly enough. If you are seeking a boarding facility where your pet will be loved, looked after, and returned to you just as happy—if not happier—then this is the place. Their unmatched service and dedication truly make them the best dog boarding center!

We had used Free Range Boarding with our previous pup and they were amazing. Dahlia loved going there and always came home happy. She has since passed and we have adopted an 11 year old rescue with an abusive past. We were worried about leaving Wally since he has such a traumatic past. But wow, the staff was kind, very competent and Wally likes them too. I would highly recommend Free Range Boarding to anyone who wants to feel secure in leaving their pets when they leave town.

Update: The daycare now open at Free Range is also EXCELLENT! We thought we loved Yuppy Puppy for daycare but Free Range is even better. Our dog gets much more individual attention and care which is important to us because he's a senior. He's treated like a king with outdoor playtime where he can run, indoor air conditioned time, nap time, and treats. He's so happy here I can feel his groan when we show up to get him! It's more than worth the cost to know he's happy and well cared for. Love the video cams too! Highly recommended. EXCELLENT doggie spa/hotel (boarding facility) in Spokane, and I don’t say that lightly! My husband and I are SO THANKFUL Amy’s Pet Sitting Service opened this facility. We have an only child Golden Retriever, Henry, who’s never been left alone or boarded before. My dad’s 90th birthday meant we had to go out of state together. We weren’t sure what we were going to do. We toured many boarding facilities but didn’t feel comfortable – until we went to Free Range. Amy and Natalie are so professional and so attuned to every detail, we were confident Henry would be in the best possible hands. During the initial evaluation Amy even found a little “pimple” we hadn’t noticed. It turned out to be a mast cell tumor - cancer! So, before we boarded our dog, he had surgery – fortunately successful – but if it hadn’t been for Amy’s intervention, who knows. We’re forever grateful beyond words. This shows how good they are here. Before we left him 4 nights, we did a 1 night trial run. It probably wasn’t necessary but we wanted to try to show him that it was a TEMPORARY stay. He didn’t seem to want to leave the next morning! That was a great sign. We loved having a menu of “extras” we could add. We got a window in his room (he used it), a webcam (we used it), and a nightly tuck in. Being able to watch him in his room or outside playing was so reassuring. We could clearly see he wasn’t anxious - just playing, eating and sleeping as he does at home. We can’t recommend Free Range Boarding enough.

I have been boarding with Free Range for a year now with our older dog. We got a puppy in July and chose to go to another trainer facility, very well known. It was the wrong decision, it wasn’t a good fit, so I reached out to FRB. Natalie has been hands down the best trainer for both myself and our pup. We aren’t done yet, but I will never go to another facility, I will only recommend and take my pets to FRB ever again. They saved our relationship with our puppy. Plus, I never worry when my fur babies are staying there. They always go above and beyond. Thank you for loving all our pups so much!

We had three dogs stay for 10 days. The facility and staff was amazing. It was exceptionally clean, well organized, they allowed lots of play time and let us bring their own beds and toys. The staff was kind, attentive and welcoming. They were also accountable, meaning they stuck to allotted times for checking in and dropping off, so that it didn’t detract from the care of their already boarded pets. Our dogs came home excited to see us, and were not anxious or traumatized from their experience in any way!!! My husband and I would highly recommend FREE RANGE BOARDING facility.

Free Range is really the only place we feel comfortable leaving our dog Luna. She spends full days there and is happy to get there and happy to come home. She always sleeps extra well after a day with her friends. We couldn't be happier. Thanks guys! Roger and Cara
