Pet Sitters in Pocahontas Bay, WA

What’s most important when dropping your dog off somewhere? Safety, Security, Facility and Personnel. Carla is a 5 Star on all 4 of these categories. Usually it’s our dogs that have separation anxiety when dropped off, but when I drop Turkey off, it’s ME that has anxiety. Carla sends me pictures and updates and it helps to ease my worries. When I go to pick Turkey up, she is vibrant, full of life, excited, and it’s clear she's had a good time. Thank You Carla, for providing a safe and secure place for our beloved pets. You are the BEST and your facility is TOP NOTCH!

We will never take our girls anywhere else. What a great welcoming environment that Carla and her husband have created. We have zero hesitation bring our 2 girls (GSD's) here when we go out of town. We would recommend Carla and Hot diggity dog to anyone and everyone if you want your kids (dogs) taken care of like family.

Carla and her team treat our pup like their own and really make a welcoming and fun environment for all the pups in their care. The facility is updated, clean, safe, and beautiful. We love getting pictures and updates while we are away on vacation letting us know Jack is happy and thriving. Thank you!

Hot Diggity Dog Boarding is top notch when it comes to caring for your dog. We had never left our dog anywhere or with anyone other than getting fixed. Our dog had the most amazing experience on his first go round. We will definitely be bringing him back next time we need a break/vacation. They are amazing with dogs.

What a wonderful experience for our 4 year old, very energetic lab! We felt very comfortable with Carla from the get go. She is so kind and friendly, and obviously loves dogs. The facility is impeccable, a dog resort! The pictures she sent us warmed our hearts, especially since we were thousands of miles away. He was obviously having a ball with his new friends! Thank you again Carla. for everything. We will definitely be back again soon. Lee and Julie

I am very picky when it comes to boarding my 2 dogs! This place is the BEST ever! Carla is a great person who truly loves taking care of the dogs! They eat,play,go on walks and get lots of love and attention! It’s the best feeling ever to be able to leave when I need or want too and know my kids are happy and safe! They love going there! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I took my 6 month old puppy here for her first boarding experience and she loved it! I loved getting photos and updates while I was away. I’m so happy to have found a place I can take my dog when I have to go out of town.

Literally THE BEST Dog Boarders EVER!!! They went above and beyond to help me out in a stressful situation. I was coming from out of state to a family reunion for the week and found out last minute that we couldn’t have pets at the rental house. They were so helpful and accommodating! I was pretty emotional about having to leave him last minute without planning on it, but it couldn’t have gone better. They put my mind at ease right away and gave me daily updates with pictures. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a dog boarder, long or short term.

I am impressed, I have never boarded my dogs I was nervous when I left them they were stressed when I went to get them they were happy one would have stayed,

Carla is amazing!!! We toured her facility before we brought our 2 dogs to board for the week. It was so clean. She put all my fears to rest about my bigger dogs fairly new seizure diagnosis and my little dogs escape antics as well as her bullying tactics towards other animals. I knew my bigger dog would have no problem hanging out with a dog pack but thought the little one might be bent out of shape. They both seemed to love it and Carla sent all kinds of pictures showing how much fun they were having... by the end of the trip I thought my Chihuahua might have wanted to stay, she was so lavished with attention. Thank you for taking care of our pups as if they were your own, we really appreciated it and maybe now I can get the hubby to take me on a real vacation.

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.

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!

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. :)

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Our pup always comes home happy and tired! We trust the Play N Stay team to provide a safe environment for our Ginny every time we leave town, which is really comforting. The team is communicative, kind, and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. We're happy to have this spot be our go-to dog daycare/boarding place in Spokane.

I have taken my German Shepherds to Play & Stay for years for daycare and boarding. P & S personnel are outstanding, professional, and do a stellar job in taking care of my dogs.

Wonderful experience! I boarded my two small dogs for several days with great results. My Chihuahua came home happy as a clam! My Chinese Crested, who has always been skittish and sensitive, came home calm and relaxed. He is now a more balanced dog and I couldn’t be happier. Love this place! Highly recommend!

Play N Stay is wonderful! They have a smooth process, quick and easy drop off and pick up, and sincere care and concern for our lil fur loved ones. Very friendly staff and reasonable rates!

We have appreciated the flexibility of the staff at Play N Stay regarding our dogs. Our now deceased Tassie Etta had issues with small dogs and they handled it in a way that she was well socialized but the little ones were safe. Now our husky Sasha gets so excited when she realizes where we are. They handle her high energy very well so she doesn't spend too much time in time out. That is all to say, they pay attention to the individual dogs needs.

We have had multiple dogs board at Play n Stay and they always have a great time. Even our slightly nervous dogs (nervous at new places) were only nervous at the beginning of their visit. I love how you can customize what you want for your dog during their stay. Were even considering having our dog join the weekday play groups.

We love.love this place. As soon as we turn on this street, my dog gets so excited. They are kind and great here. We even travel from across town just for our dog to be here. Worth it! Boarding-we definitely love the option of peanut butter and cuddles. Our lab loves company so it's nice to know they will spend a little time with him. Also, the option to bathe him while there is super nice. We also use their day care services specially once in a while. It's great. Super easy fast drop off and easy pick up. Easy reservations online and they are pretty quick at getting back to you if needed. Update. Still love this place. Love the workers love that they are always kind. Love that my labrador is so happy being there and is worn out when I get him back.

We absolutely loved sending our girl to Play & Stay! They were so welcoming and scheduling her daycare online was so easy! We moved out of Spokane otherwise she would still be going! 🥰 …

We went to Mexico, and we needed to find a place where we could keep our Shiba inu Rain safe and sound. And we chose a great place to keep her in Sand Canyon Pet Sitting. I have never regretted entrusting my dog to this amazing family. Rain was treated like a family member, she found friends and did not want to leave. Every day I received video reports about her and I knew that she was really doing well.

This family treats each dog as their own. So much love in this home for so many amazing pups.

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 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.

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!!

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!

Only place I trust to leave my girl! I love that they treat her like part of the family & she gets to run and play. It’s like a vacation for her too♥️

I know the people who run Sand Canyon pet sitting they are wonderful everyone's animals.

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 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.

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!

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!

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.

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

Angie was absolutely fantastic! She was a delight to interact with. She clearly loves what she does and cares for her clients. She was very accommodating and took great care of our Lab. We will only be working with TLC in the future. Thank you Angie!

I drive about 1 hour to leave by doggie with Angie. What I love about Angie is that she's incredibly transparent, I've never been offered a kennel tour anywhere else. I also appreciate that my husky has access to the indoors and the outdoors for nearly the whole day at Angies. I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else!

I am so excited I found Angie!!!! My Bella has been through some negative care from boarding and after picking her up today she was happy and not stressed. Angie place is very clean and love her personally and could tell she loved my dog. Won't go anywhere else she is truly amazing!!!!

Wow wow wow!! I can’t say how appreciative I am of TLC. All around an amazing and fantastic experience. They took the absolute best care of my dog and were respectful in every way! They were responsive when I asked questions, and I could feel the love they have for animals. I drove an hour and a half to get there, and I will absolutely do it again in the future. Such a perfect experience.

This is the best boarding facility I've ever used in 30 years of owning dogs. My dogs are always so happy to go. The facility owner treats for guests as well as she treats her own animals. There's a common area where your dogs can play with other dogs during playtime, and the dogs can have their own large kennel to sleep in. They don't board too many dogs so the quality of dog cares much higher and they truly love animals.

My dogs love this place. Angie takes care if them like they are her own. I love being able to check in on them and get pictures of them while they are there. I am very comfortable with leaving my two boys there knowing they are happy, safe and loved. It's also nice having a place where I can take my boys and they will let them stay together and play together. Not all places accept pitbulls or understand them so having Angie welcome him with open arms was such a wait off my shoulders. We use her facility every time we go out of town and can't take them with.

We needed a place to board our high anxiety German Shepherd for the 4th of July weekend, so my mother in law found Angies TLC Pet Boarding. We left her for 3 nights and just picked her up this morning! From the moment that I spoke with Angie and throughout drop off and pickup, we were very impressed! Angie and her staff are knowledgeable and kind. Our Shepherd came back to us happy and clean:-) I would definitely recommend TLC Pet Boarding! I live in Spokane and it’s well worth the hour long drive..

I wouldn't trust my Great Dane, Frank with anyone but Angie. She's the best. I know my baby is in great hands when I leave him with his Aunt Angie. I run a grooming shop in Spokane and I've heard horror stories about other Boarding places. I've boarded Frank many times with Angie and it has always been awesome. You won't regret using TLC Boarding!

I have used Angie's boarding for several years. My border collies have always been excited to see her and her staff (and they're pretty smart dogs!) We picked them up yesterday after a 5 day stay there. Angie was very honest with us about the possible exposure to the dog flu/kennel cough during their stay. Not only had she already spoken with the WSU veterinary clinic, she had even informed several of the veterinary clinics close by. I know that Angie would never have willingly exposed our fur babies to any virus had she known beforehand. Haven't we all hosted a friend who calls later and tells us she's been exposed to Covid or even measles/chicken pox or whatever? I will continue to use and trust Angie with my "babies" with utmost confidence!!

Angie was Fantastic, my little Miss Piper had never left home and I was dreading leaving her to go on vacation and Angie said she did great, I will definitely be taking her back. Would recommend her to anyone needing a great place for there fur babies. Thank you Angie!!!! I am so grateful for you!!!!

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!

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!!”

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.

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!
