Pet Sitters in Primrose

Our pup is always carefully supervised by folks who truly love dogs and work to keep the whole pack safe & healthy! I love getting updates on the friends he is making, and appreciate that any concerns (changes in stool, trouble sleeping/eating, etc) are always reported at pickup. We also love the photo update option when we’re away for longer periods of time!

Our dogs (8 and 1) had another great boarding stay @ Woof Haven. We are grateful to have a place we feel confident leaving them, even for long stays. Rachael & everyone are always so communicative and we appreciate being able to keep in touch during their stay. Video clips are great and make it easier to be away from them:)

Woof Haven has been great. Our dog has been in many other boarding facilities and she never does well. She refuses to eat and is just miserable. At Woof Haven it is the opposite. She is happy to go and when we pick her up she clearly had a good time. The staff are great and I would recommend it to anyone

We love Woof Haven! Our 7 yr old and 7 month old pups both did so well with a very long boarding this summer. We are grateful for the special care they each get every time they visit for daycare or boarding. Rachael takes such care with getting to know the dogs and she was able to determine the needs of our anxious older dog as well as the personality of our puppy in just one visit. The best review is the wagging tails every time we drive up to visit our friends at Woof Haven.

I can’t express enough how relieved I am to have found Woof Haven for my 8-month-old puppy. Knowing he’s safe and having a blast burning off his crazy energy is a big relief. He always comes home happy and exhausted from all the playtime— dozing off sitting up during the car ride home! The Woof Haven team is fantastic, and I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a trustworthy daycare and boarding option.

Awful first impression. I dropped off my dog for the temperament check expecting him to be fully supervised and told he would only be meeting other dogs in a separate area. Less than an hour and a half later when I pick him up he passed with flying colors, as I knew he would, but was told he somehow got a large gash on the top of his head. The young man explaining this to me wore a confused smile and couldn’t tell me how it happened. He said perhaps it was while he was playing near the fence, but unable to identify any specific fence piece that might need to be fixed. Or perhaps he did it on a nearby bolt sticking out of the post? What!? Obviously very poorly supervised, and on his introductory check-in no less! It’s been over a week now and he still has a large cut area that has to be treated every day and hopefully won’t scar. No thanks. Do better. Much better.

This was our 1 year old rescue pups first time at a kennel since we adopted her, we were apprehensive to leave her for 2 weeks as she had a rough start in her first year of life. She did great, had a blast with the other dogs, they sent us 3 videos of her playing and when I text them to check up on her they promptly answered, I will definitely use Woofhaven again and plan on taking her for play dates soon.

Our puppy is thriving at Woof Haven! She is excited to go in the morning and happy when I pick her up. The staff is amazing, personable, and kind. They take great care of us!

It is always hard and stressful to leave your pup behind for a trip, but Woof Haven truly went above and beyond when caring for our guy and made leaving him so much easier on us. We’ve had some not so great times boarding at other facilities in the past, but our guy loves to come to Woof Haven. The frequent updates and pictures helped ease any worries while we were alway. I would highly, highly recommend Woof Haven. Especially for those dog mommas that have an ache in their heart when they have to leave their pups behind. Woof Haven eased that ache tremendously knowing he was in wonderful hands.

We had a fantastic first experience with Woof Haven! Our dog isn't the most social creature, but he quickly felt at home and safe at Woof Haven. Rachel and Dane went above and beyond to make sure that our Pipsqueak had a wonderful experience. We won't hesitate to use their services in the future and to recommend them to our friends!

I started bringing my dogs here 2 years ago per the recommendation by another dog kennel that this facility was accommodating of dogs with social and/or behavioral problems. – the impression I received is the friendly staff would work with them to find the right groups that fit. I always felt great and relieved leaving my dogs there in good faith as that is what was advertised to me, as I know one of my dogs can be troublesome sometimes. This policy must have recently changed to not welcome dogs that do not do well in all groups to be watched at their facility. I was called to their office and informed my dogs were "not welcome back at daycare" anymore as they are “too anxious” to play in groups. I wish I would have received information and maybe some kind of warning about this matter sooner, preferably before we were not welcomed back and before I learned my dogs were being isolated during the days I paid for daycare under the impression they were in a group catering to their temperaments. If your dog is anxious or has any type of behavioral quirk/issues, just look for another facility or you will likely join us as doggy dropouts. If your dog does great with others, this facility will probably be great for you.

Ruby has been to day care at Happy Paws. The staff there take such excellent care of her. They are so sweet and loving to her. They work with her anxieties to make sure she has a good stay. Also, Ruby has been groomed by Jadence twice. She did a great job. I'm so grateful for Happy Paws

Our experience with Happy Paws started out promisingly enough. We entrusted them with our golden retriever puppy for several months, and for the most part, everything seemed fine. The staff always seemed friendly, and we consistently received positive feedback about our dogs behavior. However, our perception of Happy Paws took a nosedive when we were unexpectedly pulled aside by management one day. To our shock, we were informed that our dog had too much energy and couldn't be matched with other dogs. Consequently, he was often isolated in a separate area for the entire day. This left us feeling frustrated and mislead. Why were we only now being informed of this issue? Why did we receive nothing but positive feedback until this point? We had been paying for daycare services under the impression that our pup was enjoying himself and socializing with other dogs. We can no longer in good conscience recommend Happy Paws to other pet owners. Since this occurred, we've been taking our dog to Woof Haven and it's been a great transition. They do a temperament test to ensure compatibility of dogs and often post updates of the dogs on social media (neither of which are done by HP).

We couldn't be happier. I boarded our large American Bulldog, Stella, with the folks at Happy Paws for the past 10 days. Super great experience. I recommend them to anyone in the Missoula area. They made her a Christmas dinner. And took better care of her than I could ask for. Thanks so much guys. It really means a lot to me and my family that you treated our dog as your own.

Such a great place to take your pups for a fun-filled day. We have a high-energy Aussie who absolutely loves coming here for doggy-day-care. She comes home exhausted and ready to nap the rest of the day. The staff is so nice and helpful and seems like they truly love being there. “It’s a lot better than an office job” is right!

Happy Paws is the best. My dog is a high energy puppy who was the disruptor of the Earth. She has been intuitively cared for and switched up to areas and groups where she can be carefree and entertaining. 😂 She is so happy to go there and the staff is so awesome with her and puts up with god-knows-what. She has become the best pup who is well adjusted and is tired when she comes home, which is the ultimate blessing! She loves Happy Paws and so do we!!

Best place to bring your dog in Missoula! Our 2 dogs love going for daycare and boarding. We never worry about them when we have to leave them for a stay, which is priceless peace of mind. Our pups are always excited when we make the turn down Miller Creek cause they know they're in for an awesome day. Even better they come home completely tuckered out and relaxed like they have been on a trip too, which is great if you live in an apartment and don't have access to a yard. We send them for daycare here whenever they start to get stir crazy during the week so we don't come home to find that they have decided to entertain themselves while we are at work. Usually by chewing on whatever they're not supposed to have while we're home. Also helps keep them from neurotic barking at every sound late at night, waking up our neighbors. If we ever need to drop them off, and one or both of ours dogs have medication to take, the staff is diligent and accurate at making sure they take their meds. Yet another huge relief! We can't thank your always friendly staff enough for the help they provide for us. Happy Dogs + Happy Humans, all thanks to Happy Paws! Much love from Miles + Rory!

I am so thrilled to find a wonderful place that loves and cares for my fur baby!! My 11 year old pup has never been boarded or attended puppy day care as I have always lived where I knew people who could house sit for me. I am going on vacation and new to the area and needed someone to take care of my pup. Daycare was successful and I will rest easy knowing Reese’s is safe and happy!! Thank you!! 💛💛

My expectations and standards for the care of my dog are extremely high. I do not trust just anyone with my dog especially after her recent bout with cancer and liver disease. My dog requires daily medication and intensive behavioral monitoring, but despite her medicinal conditions I was reassured by the owner Theresa and her staff that Lola would receive the level of care and love that their own animals receive. With only a recommendation from my primary vet, I took a chance with Happy Paws. And I was blown away by the level of compassion, care and the accommodations for my pets medical needs. Lola was with them for nearly a week and received exactly what I was looking for. They monitored her, spent time with her, and when her wound became infected (this is not because of level of sanitation being low, but Lola’s decreased immune system from her medication) Theresa drove her into the emergency vet personally and was actively communicating with me via the phone on her condition. Lola is doing much better now and on the road to full recovery. If you bring your pet here, I can vouch that from the owner to the staff that they will treat your pet with the same love and care that you do. Highly recommended, will bring my pet back here should the need arise. Thank you again to Theresa and her amazing staff at Happy Paws!

Finding Happy Paws has been a huge relief. We had two dogs when we first found them and one of our dogs is a rescue who can be a bit reactive when around other dogs and strange people. She's not a bad or unusual dog, she just needs someone willing to take the time to understand her and what she needs to feel secure. Every other place we took her never took the time and just isolated her away from the other dogs and people while we were gone. On her very first weekend with Happy Paws, she was playing with other dogs and having a blast. When we commented on how surprising that was to the owner, she said she had simply put our dog with other dogs who respond well to her personality type. It means so much to us to be able to leave town and know that she is being well taken care of and not just shoved in an area by herself. We recently lost our second dog and Happy Paws not only grieved along with us but has done everything they can to help our rescue navigate her own grieving process, which has also meant a great deal to us. Happy Paws has given us peace of mind that our babies are being cared for (emphasis on the word care), understood, and loved. We will never go anywhere else for dog care.

Glenn has been very helpful in guiding us in the best way to integrate a new dog with some dog aggression issues into our pack. Glenn’s “dog energy” and training knowledge is fantastic. Highly recommend!

Glenn has done a superb job of taking care of our rowdy puppy. He has also shared very effective tips on heal to deal in a positive manner with our puppy's active behavior.

Glenn is fantastic and really helped us with training our large and goofy puppy. He’s a wealth of knowledge.

Recently drove to missoula from boise and was well worth it to learn from Glenn. His knowledge and experience is priceless. Great person who actually wants bonds between handler and dogs, not just paychecks. Thanks again glenn.

Glenn is a fantastic trainer and we refer to him as the local Montana dog whisperer. He is always very accommodating and very educated on dog training.

Private and group lessons have been very beneficial working with my German Sheperd puppy.

Loved them. Max is in good hands.

We drove from San Diego, CA to Huson, MT and wanted our Great Pyr mix bathed and combed. They were amazing! She came home smelling so great, her fur so soft, and her nails well done. Thank you!

This place was very dirty, and smelled bad. My dog came home and drank a gallon and a half of water, meaning he’s been thirsty for two days. He could hardly go for a walk he was so thirsty. The three older people working in the front were clueless about my dogs items I left for him and his collar was broke. Just concerned about taking my cash. NEVER recommend going here. Terrible place !!!

We left our dog there for a Christmas trip, and immediately going there the employee did not make us feel reassured that our dog would have a comfortable time, they don’t let them interact with other dogs or people and they go outside for 5 MINUTES four times a day. If your dog needs to exercise and be outside like our 10 month old puppy, this should be the last place you go to. Luckily we got him out of there ASAP.

For starters, this facility smells very unclean. I've also never been to a boarding facility that isn't happy to show you their WHOLE facility, where the dogs will be kenneled, play areas, their process, routine, etc. Fairly standard stuff to making owners feel confident that they're leaving their dogs in capable hands. Not this place. You're stopped at the kennel entrance and are not allowed to check in on your dogs in the kennel they're kept in. They have to be brought from their kennel by staff up to the front. Upon pick up, the bedding and toys reeked terribly of urine so they clearly weren't pottied propery. I asked if they'd whined or barked and was told no, yet I know they whine when they have to go. At payment, they tried overcharging me. After arguing with me over the math they finally agree to "do whatever is easier" for me. It's not about convenience, it's business, and this one has far too many red flags

I went to pick up my dogs and was totally amazed by how refreshed, happy and secure they were when I arrived, I had been expecting self pity whimpers. Ouch but Yay! Thrilled with the results of great care!

Amazing place to work and board your beloved fur babies. I would recommend to anyone.

I was in town for a wedding ( Sunday of a 3 day holiday weekend)and Karosel took care of DollyDog for the afternoon/ evening. It was great. Mel was awesome. Thank You.

Great place to leave my fur babies. Price within reason and totally trustworthy. It's the " Go To" place for me when it comes to boarding my dogs.

I absolutely love this place! Their training is outstanding!! And affordable!

We bring are 2 girls t here and the love it. They are happy. They take very goog cxarw of your pet give them a go.😊 …
