Pet Sitting in Pend Oreille County

Our dogs love Tails Inn! Our girl doesn't do well with other dogs, so we love that the dogs play only with their family dogs and with the staff, instead of lots of stranger dogs playing together. Ours just can't handle that and I'm so glad Tails Inn exists! The owner is so kind and happily will administer meds and special treats and meet all of our dogs' needs. I couldn't recommend Tails Inn enough!

Lucy spent the weekend with Andee . She wears a Fi collar so it tracks her activity. She was a busy girl running and being active, which is important being a Shepherd/ catahoula mix. Thank you Andee for taking good care of Lucy. We appreciate it. I would recommend Tails Inn for your boarding needs.

Took care of my pup very well. Always were happy to update me on how he was doing. Definitely would recommend!

We love Andee at the Tails Inn! Not only has she taken good care of our dog Rip but she has given us priceless puppy advice.

Always a great place to take our dog max he has been going here since he was a puppy 🐶 super nice staff and accommodating. Max might like being there more than at home he is always excited to go. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …

I highly recommend boarding your pet here! We have a rescue dog who has some ~social challenges~. We made sure they were fully aware of his issues before our trip and they were entirely comfortable with handling it. He did great there! Absolutely no issues. Thankfully, they have genuine animal experience so truly know how to handle the animals properly. It is nice to have a boarding facility where I know my pet is happy and safe!

We have had issues with boarding our anxious dogs in the past that led to emergency surgery and they no longer do well with other dogs. Finding a boarding facility that can facilitate our needs with anxious dogs that can’t intermingle has been hard to find, but Tails Inn has always done a great job with our dogs and accommodating us! I highly recommend them!

Would board my dogs there again. Very accommodating, took both dogs on short notice. Only surprise for us was cash or check only.

We took our dogs here when my wife and I went on vacation. The owner is very friendly and transparent about the prices. She wrote down all necessary information about our dogs and there needs. Thank you for the great service you provided to our hairy friends and I would highly recommend this business to anyone.

My name is Biscuit and I am a very handsome Westie. My family keeps calling me cute, but please remember that I am HANDSOME! So my family and I all went down to Idaho for several days. Because they were going to Silverwood Theme Park one day and shopping another, they needed to find Doggie Daycare for me for those days. My Mom found Tails Inn in Rathdrum. I really loved AnnDee and Diana. They played with me LOTS and I had a yard to run around in. And when I got tired, I had my own place to chill out! I liked it so much that on the second day I was so excited that I forgot to say goodbye to my family when the dropped me off! I don’t remember much after they picked me up both days cause I really needed a good long nap! For all you other doggie boys and girls out there, tell your families about Tails Inn. It was the best and I can’t wait to go back next year!

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😊 …

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.
