Lori from Cozy Critters is the best pet sitter. She is wonderful with our kitty Lucy and keeps an eye on our house when we are gone. We recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!!

Lori is one of the most dependable delightful animal loving person that we have ever known. It's hard to trust someone to take care of your pets but we can leave our dog and cat in her care when we leave town knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of. She's the best!!

Cozy Critters are great with my animals. My animals love them, and I don’t trust anyone else to watch over my animals. Cozy Critters is my go too for taking care of my fur babies and I have a menagerie of animals too. My dogs love them, and my list of people is small in who I would allow to take care of my horses. I never have to worry about my animals in Cozy Critters care. Thanks guys. You are the best!!!

We have three cats; two lovable demon spawn siblings and one grumpy old man; but they're still family. When ever we are out of town, we call Lori at Cozy Critters. She not only has been completely reliable in meeting our needs, checking on the cats twice a day, feeding, changing water, cleaning cat litter boxes, etc., but she's also taken care of our house plants and tomato plants. And on at least one occasion she's taken our grumpy old man to the vet. Having someone who's dependable and who loves animals is something that's important to us. We're lucky to have someone like Lori to be nearby to help us out.

Our two cats had to be alone for 10 days. One of them gets stressed and hides when we're gone. Not with Cozy Critters and Lori on the job. My scared cat was happy and came out of hiding. My other cat enjoyed playing and having attention. We are really satisfied. It's well worth the peace of mind. Update 2022: we still use Cozy Critters. Jak comes out of hiding and Luna tries to get tummy scritches. We appreciate you!

Lori is caring, reliable and a genuinely warm person. Best of all: my pups were both calm and happy when I returned home! I highly recommend Lori.

Lori has a very unique and amazing connection with my fur babies. I wouldn't trust them with anyone else. She made me and my babies feel so comfortable.

We have two blind doxies. Most people just shove them in a pen. We live in Longview, but drive to Yakima to see our grandkids and leave our dogs here. They love it! They usually hate going to the dog sitter, but they actually look comfortable and happy here with other dogs out in the yard. We will continue to take our dogs!! Laurie's husband even helped diagnose my dog with a problem that even the vet could not figure out!

Lori is amazing with not just her animals but everyone's. I would trust her with all my furry critters.

Barking Barnyard is truly an exceptional place! The staff are not only friendly but also genuinely caring, showing a clear passion for dogs of all temperaments. The facility has plenty of spacious play areas where the dogs can run and play to their heart's content. What really stands out is how thoughtfully the staff group the dogs, ensuring that each one is in the right environment for their needs. The owner has always been open and communicative, giving me confidence that my puppy is safe, loved, and well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my boy!

Didn't care for the way Kisa addressed my dog's behavior. I had asked for boarding availability to which she replied she was full. Then she proceeded to tell me she had messaged me a week or so ago about my dogs jumping. I never got a message from her. Then she sent me photos of her daughters scratched leg and told me that she would consider accepting my dog again if I take him to a trainer. I was confused. First she tells me she's full; now I can't bring him at all because he jumps too much? Well, I took him to two trainers and both of them said that if someone let's my dog scratch them like that, they don't know how to work with dogs. I would of appreciated being told when this allegedly happened in the first place and not being lied to about contacting me about it until I reached out first.

Our Dogs love it here, we’ve taken them to many dog boarding facilities in central Washington and this is our favorite.

Kisa and Barking Barnyard cares for our dogs as if they were her own. We completely trust her with our dog. Whenever we drop off our German Shepherd, she is so excited to be there and runs in with hardly a goodbye to us. :) We boarded our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. During that time, Kisa noticed a change in behavior and contacted us right away. Nothing significant, just decreased energy and appetite. We picked up our dog early and took her to the vet to be checked. We are glad we did. Our pup ended up having a very dangerous intestinal problem (not caused by anything at BB). Our vet commented that the early identification and quick response may have saved our dog's life. We are so grateful! In addition, Barking Barnyard also cared for our dog while we were on our honeymoon at the end of June 2021, which also happened to be during a significant heat wave. Kisa and the staff ensured that the dogs were well cared for during that time, and were always quickly responsive if we checked in. We could not recommend Barking Barnyard more!

Kisa and Israel do a phenomenal job with my dogs....my puppies love it so much at BB that they rush in to go play the minute we arrive. I love that BB posts pics of the doggie daycare fun on their FB page..so when I'm traveling for work and miss my pups I can see all the fun they are having. The staff and the care are exceptional.

My doggos love this place, I've brought my dogs big and small here and they love it so much they often don't want to go home. They care about the dogs like they are their own. Love this place!!

The staff is terrific. Cute place. I feel at ease knowing my dogs are cared for and safe.

Business owner, Kisa, was very unprofessional and rude on how she addressed recent concerns I had with her and her employee not being honest about so-called "free" bath being provided to my dogs. Dogs were very smelly, eyes were gunky and excessive dried feces on butt area. Very unfortunate that Kisa handles business concerns in this manner.

Love barking barnyard!! Have been bringing dogs there since they opened. When our dog comes home he sleeps for a couple of days because he plays so hard when he is there.

If you love your dog there is no better place to take them than to Barking Barnyard This place is dog tested and dog approved. We would never leave our pup any where else.

Brought my cat Bagheera here while I went camping for a week. It was nice not having to worry about him. The staff here are really friendly and they do a great job and give the Animals lots of love and attention. I would recommend these guys to anyone.

i leave my cat here for pet boarding and they always do such an amazing job! I’m so grateful this place exists because it’s come in clutch so many times! thank you little paws! :)

Little Paws is absolutely amazing and I would trust them time and time again to watch my fur babies. I have had two incidents where I’ve needed to board my cats either overnight or for a few hours and they’re always willing to work with me to make sure they’re taken care of. The first time I dropped my cats off, I was very nervous because I had never boarded an animal, but they took such amazing care of my girls. I was not worried for one moment about them and the staff was kind enough to let me call and check on them. My girls are never stressed going in or coming back to me. I’ve interacted with several different staff members and they’ve all been absolutely amazing and so beyond kind, and always willing to share the cutest stories about my girls. You can tell that each of them truly care for your animals.

This place is great. Staff genuinely love your pet and I feel comfortable dropping my dog here for extended boarding when out of town and for doggy daycare. Matter of fact, my dog pulls me into the building she loves it so much there!

Ive only had to board my dog a couple times in the 7 years of owning her. i had a trip planned and last minute decided it wouldn’t work out for my little dog to join us. i called little paws and i was able to take her in for a trial period the next day. everything worked out great and she loved it! the staff that i encountered were all extremely sweet and one man (i can’t remember his name) had some friendly words when i expressed i was nervous since i usually dont board my dog. the pricing is very fair. im happy to say little paws is on my list of people i can trust to watch over my little dog!

Great place for dog grooming she has taken great care of my little guy.

Thank you Little Paws for always being there for Dagger and Shasta while we lived in Yakima. They absolutely love you and will miss you. By the way Shasta made weight. He is now 8lbs! Yippy. Thanks guys! Take care.

I once had a bad experience with a doggy daycare. I was so afraid to even try another. A very good friend of mine recommended this place when my hours at work became too long. I was so nervous. Listen, I can’t explain how great this place is. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, enough so that my Fur-son gets EXCITED to come! I wish I was joking. We’ve never had a bad experience here, he’s never reacted poorly, nor has he ever been assaulted by another animal at this place. I recommend it to all of my lovely furends. We absolutely LOVE little paws.

I will recommend this place to anyone!!! I've never had to board my cat before and I was really nervous about it. He's 17 and couldn't be left alone for the week we were gone. They were so amazing! The lady that checked him in was so sweet! She sent me multiple pictures everyday we were gone and gave me updates on how he was. He's on a special diet and very picky, and they were so accommodating! I could tell they truly care about my cat as much as I do! Absolutely great experience!

Little Paws took such great care of my cats. I was so worried as I had never boarded them before and wasn't sure how they would do. The staff said they were super friendly and playful with everyone. And also tried to make all kinds of friends with the other cats. I highly recommend them for both dogs and cats but especially for cats cause we all know how cats do with change. Thank you for taking care of my babies so well Little Paws!

They really do love dogs 🥰 We had a previous sitter lined up but something came up and we had to find someone who could take them last minute. We were fortunate enough to come across Terry and Fernanda, and they have been our go to sitters for our special needs pups ever since! My Daisy is blind, and Chaos gets seizures, so it can be really nerve wracking leaving them for a bit but Terry and Fernanda are very reassuring, and we also get updates! Every time we go to drop them off, as soon as we pull into the driveway, their tails start wagging 🐶 The space that they have for the dogs is wonderful, large and fully fenced, with doggy doors so the pups can come and go as they please. They do a good job of making sure the dogs all get along and are very attentive and caring. Our pups always come back happy and relaxed 🥹 We wholeheartedly recommend We Love Dogs Pet sitting if you are needing to board your dog, whether it’s just for a day, or even a week or more 💖

They are awesome! I haven’t seen any other people doing such a good job with dogs! They really love what they do! Your pet receives attention all day long!

Great people to board your dog with. Very clean and accommodating Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter for your dog

Pomona pet is a great business and is always the best with my dog. From boarding to day care, I always know my pup is in great hands.

What can I say.......my husband and I had to leave our cherished "pup" behind in Yakima recently when we traveled to the Midwest for vacation for 11 days. We were recommended to Pomona Pet Services, and it was the greatest recommendation anyone could have given us! Our "Miss Riley " was treated so well by the girls-she actually came home to us in better condition than when we dropped her off. She's so much calmer and loving and rarely barks (before her stay, when 4 pm came everyday, she would change into a almost hyper pup, not settling down until late at night) Now, she appears to always be around my husband and I where she can have her paw on us, as if to say "I love you so much!" We will HIGHLY recommend Pomona Pet Services to anyone needing daycare or boarding services. They are simply angels! We cannot thank them enough for the care they gave our pup! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Pomona is unlike any other facility I have interviewed. They run a clean ship, and engage with my puppies in a way that makes them better. I needed to leave my two dogs with them for 11 days and I have NEVER done that before. Really, boarding services, aren't ones that I endorsed fully but after having the experience, I can say that THIS company is worth every penny. They love my animals and care for them as if they were their own!

We are absolutely in love with this place!! Tracy is so very kind and gentle with the dogs and you can see how much passion all the employees have. At our old daycare, we didn't feel like our dog had enough room to play and they were all in such close quarters that illnesses seemed to happen quite often. Not at Pomona Pet Services! They have so much room for the pups to run, not to mention the huge pool for them to swim in. I couldn't imagine a better place to leave our dog while we're at work. They provide such peace of mind!! Thank you all for your hard work and keeping our girl so happy!

This is the most amazing pet care provider I could imagine! Spotlessly clean, fresh smell as you enter. Tracy and her staff treat my dog like a beloved member of their family. They have holiday special events for the dogs, training and so much fun. Recently I was sick fo a week so my dog didn’t go. When she got to go back she was so excited she was jumping for Joy quite literally. I can’t say enough how grateful I am to have this service!!

We have a 7 month old Labradoodle and he just loves going to them. We have had him boarded several times and each time we have been extremely pleased. We know that he is getting a lot of attention and they always provide a progress report. I love to hear he is getting a lot of play time with other dogs his size. Their service has been very rewarding for our pup. Thank you Pomona Pet Services. Thank you for being such great care takers of our boy, Tucker!!

Our kid Max has been going to Pomona Pet Services for 9+ years. He goes there on Fridays for daycare and when we go on vacations when we can't take him. Max still LOVES it there the team takes awesome care of him and they have such a great play area with lots to do. This is not your typical kennel this is like taking them to their friends house for a sleepover. I do NOT feel guilty about leaving him there because it's like his second home and Mom. Tracy and Holly's (owners) 1st and foremost priority is taking care of our furry kid just like their own. I cannot say enough about Pomona Pet. 🐾🐾

We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Pomona. Our dogs love their time there and often don’t want to leave when we come to pick them up. They are pampered and it’s obvious that the owner and staff truly care for the dogs and their health. They have gone above and beyond for our fur babies. I highly recommend them!!

Our dog Maggie absolutely loves it here for daycare and boarding! The staff are super friendly and energetic. You know your dog is in good hands.

These guys are great for accommodating your pet. We were very happy with our puppies experience and love she received during her recent visit. Ensure to have your shots up to date prior to scheduling your pets stay.

My experience with west valley kennels is an amazing one, I have four cattle dog husky mixes that board regularly with him. I trust them completely to handle the dogs as they are always well cared for and I appreciate the great communication with how the dogs are doing while boarding with them. My dogs walk right inside no problem and it shows me they trust WVKennels care and are in the safest place when away from home. It’s definitely become their home-away-from-home! Thank you for becoming such amazing support for Kylo, Rowdy, Rosie, and Zen.

We have taken our dogs here since we moved to WA. We love this place and so do our dogs. They board and groom. Thank you West Valley.

I feel like my dog absolutely did not like it. The kennel smelled terrible. We have boarded our dog in other kennels and none smelled this bad. They were also supposed to bath her before we picked her up. She had feces on her, and she smelled just like the kennel.

I took both of my dogs this last week to West Valley Kennels. This was my first time taking my dogs anywhere. This was so hard for me. I cried for a day straight. The staff took absolutely excellent care of my animals. I called daily to check on them and got real and great updates. I so appreciate the care and love this facility took in taking care of my pups. Not to mention they came home smelling great from there little baths they received. I would definitely recommend this Kennel.

My three German Shepherd/Malinois LOVE Jeremy and Summer. After one weekend they went from being really anxious and overly protective of one another to the next weekend running up to them to say hi as soon as my car door opens. They even cry at the front door when we leave because they always want to go back! Jeremy has been able to give my 100lb stubborn cry baby a bath... something even professional grooming offices here in town have been unable to do! They allow my three to stay in one area together and will take them out to play together as well as have one on one time with them. We've used their boarding services almost ten weekends now and we've never had any issues or bad experiences. We have called to let them know we are coming and also just shown up. Kennels have seen have always been clean and animals with fresh water. Even when it was 110°F they made sure all the animals were comfortable with coolers, fans, and let them play in the yard with sprinklers. Because the dogs are allowed to run around outside, roll in the dirt, etc they can get dirty and smelly (part of being an animal owner is knowing that!) But they do bathe them if you want and the animals allow. The grooming room has had hair in it but that's expected and proves they take care of the animals their customers entrust with them. Like another reviewer said its like a family farm and comfortable for animals. Not like a sterile doctors office like some other places. Highly recommend WV Boarding!!

I cannot contain my excitement as I write this glowing review for West Valley Boarding Kennel! They provided my beloved feline friend, Miss Kitty, with an extraordinary grooming experience that left her looking fabulous and feeling absolutely fantastic. I am incredibly grateful to the skilled and caring team at West Valley for their exceptional care and dedication. Upon entering West Valley Boarding Kennel, I immediately sensed the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and a genuine love for animals. Their passion for their work was evident, and it put my mind at ease knowing that Miss Kitty would be in the best hands. Miss Kitty had been struggling with matted fur, which was causing her discomfort and making her less playful. Thankfully, the talented groomers at West Valley Boarding Kennel worked their magic and transformed her appearance with utmost care and expertise. They delicately untangled her matted fur, ensuring she felt relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire grooming process. I was amazed by the groomers' incredible skill and attention to detail. They exhibited a remarkable ability to balance efficiency and gentleness, making sure that Miss Kitty's grooming experience was not only thorough but also enjoyable. It was a pleasure to witness the loving and patient approach they took, which undoubtedly made a significant difference in Miss Kitty's overall well-being. When Miss Kitty emerged from her grooming session, she looked absolutely stunning! Her coat was no longer burdened by mats, and it shimmered with newfound health and vibrancy. The groomers at West Valley Boarding Kennel had truly worked their magic, enhancing Miss Kitty's natural beauty. I couldn't help but admire their talent and dedication. Not only did Miss Kitty look amazing, but she also displayed a renewed sense of confidence and energy. It was as if the grooming experience had lifted a weight off her shoulders, allowing her to frolic and play with newfound joy. I could tell she felt lighter, happier, and more comfortable in her own fur. I must also commend West Valley Boarding Kennel for their exceptional facilities. The kennel was clean, well-maintained, and designed with the comfort of the pets in mind. It was evident that the staff went above and beyond to create a safe and pleasant environment for all the furry guests. I appreciated their attention to detail and commitment to providing a top-notch experience for both pets and their owners. To all the staff at West Valley Boarding Kennel, I am forever grateful for the love and care you showed to Miss Kitty. Your expertise and dedication to providing exceptional grooming services are truly commendable. I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you have made on Miss Kitty's well-being. If you're searching for a grooming experience that goes beyond your expectations, West Valley Boarding Kennel is the ultimate destination. Trust me when I say that they will pamper and beautify your furry friends with utmost care and professionalism. Miss Kitty and I wholeheartedly give West Valley Boarding Kennel a purr-fect five-star rating!

It’s not very often that I find it necessary to share an experience, that is meant to negatively advance customer confidence and prompt them to seek alternative solutions. That being said, I feel bad, not for myself but for my beloved friend and companion that I had boarded at West Valley Kennel’s. My initial opinion as soon as I walked through the door was the cleanliness was subpar and that the pets were housed in a “just put em anywhere” type of philosophy. My fury girl is mid sized, and weighs just under 100lbs and needed a kennel size about 4x6 at a bare minimum. The day I picked her up, I witnessed her being released from a box that was just 24 inches wide and 24 inches tall. I have little faith that the depth of the kennel was 2.5ft. Deep. My pet smelled like she had rolled in feces and her fur was matted and felt filthy. When I got her home, she had diarrhea so bad that she had to stay outside for 6 days. She also needed to be bathed twice to remove the nasty feeling of her coat and the stink. If you have any love for your feline or canine pets DO NOT KENNEL THEM HERE! Very overcrowded TOO SMALL OF KENNELS, and NASTY CLEANLINESS. Thumbs DOWN 👎🏻

We traveled to Yakima, from TN, for a funeral - not a planned event. We had our dogs with us. We needed to board them for the day of the funeral. Their bordetella shots were due and Summer told us where to get the vaccine and to bring the dogs and vaccine to her to administer so we could board the dogs there. We did this and 2 days later boarded the dogs for the funeral. While the dogs were at West Valley Boarding Kennels they romped and played and roamed the vast area getting very dirty. However, as part of the boarding services, West Valley bathes the dogs before you pick them up so they are not full of mud and dirt. Not only was this entire experience extraordinary and easy, but Summer said that they decided to not charge us at all because of our circumstances coming there for a funeral. We would have paid $100 easily and were fully prepared to do so; but the charge quoted to us was $25 total for both dogs for the day (including administering the vaccine and bathing them). When we return to Yakima we will board our dogs at West Valley Boarding Kennels. They are truly DOG FRIENDLY and People Friendly!

We brought our two dogs here for a brief stay while we traveled to the western part of the state to visit family. These folks are very upfront and informative about their services. We paid $25.00 per day for both our dogs that shared a VERY large kennel. They were impeccably cared for. Our beagle was given prescribed meds twice a day. They were exercised in a late fenced yard and given exclusive attention. When we stopped by today to pick them up, we were planning on taking them to a Pet pantry for a bath, however the staff had already done that for us! These people have been in the business for a long time and there's a reason for it! Consider them next time you need to board your pets!

We Got our Belgian malinios pup here and can't say enough good about them! Happy, healthy, well bred and super sweet ❤ their facilities were clean and well kept and their whole family really cares for all the pets there!

Boarded my dog, Theo, here for 5 days. They treated him very well and gave him a spacious kennel and lots of outside time. I also received daily videos and photos of activities they were doing such as supervised play time with other dogs, walks, tv and snuggles, everything you would want in a boarding experience. The price was reasonable and the staff is excellent. Definitely my go to option when heading out of town. The photos are some of those that were sent to me daily. Such a wonderful experience.

We had our 4 year old Siberian Husky Mix, Blue, go to the Pet Lodge over Christmas Eve to Boxing Day. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave! I was worried about putting him into boarding for the first time but he did great and the staff were super helpful and great people! Blue is definitely going to be having a little vacation with them again.

Our dog, Douglas Fir, loved his stay at the Ellensburg Pet Lodge! Staff was very helpful and friendly, and were even kind enough to send us this photo of him enjoying his outside time and making some new friends! :)

Gus has been visiting Cayla at the Lodge since its inception. You know they deserve five stars when he is excited to arrive. He is treated well here!

My dog has been boarded here since I rescued him. Their staff sticks around-first good sign! They’ve been so accommodating to mine and my dogs needs-I hope they’re around forever!

Super friendly staff and they are great to work with! My dog is pretty shy and they’ve been able to accommodate to her and still get her outside and interacting with other dogs. Would recommend to anyone

We were in a pinch when we traveling with our dog and saw we couldn’t bring him into the Gorge concert venue. Kyla was very helpful and got him in last minute. The play area was well taken care of and everyone was very kind and friendly! I highly suggest the Ellensburg Pet Lodge for excellent boarding and friendly service!

They are so kind at Eburg Pet Lodge! They definitely love their dog clients! We appreciate knowing our dog is safe & happy while we are out of town.

They always take such great care of our dogs! One is a bit nervous with strangers and the other has an eye condition that requires medication—Ellensburg Pet Lodge takes care of everything and sends us updates letting us know how our dogs are doing. When we pick them up we can always see how happy and well-cared for our pups are!

Our dogs Nala and Scrappy are so well taken care of here the times that we have taken them to board here. We travel the extra hour away from home to board them here because of the costumer care we receive and the feeling of ease that our dogs are in the best of hands.

Laurie and Deanna provide the utmost care for our 2 dogs. She really cares about their comfort and likes to make sure they're a good fit for the environment, which I really appreciate! I can not say enough good things about them 🩷 …

Love K9 Country....they have awesome staff...facility is clean....KC our 8 yr old shephard lives her visits

We have a German sheeperd that has been a great dog due to K9 County club.

Wonderful place with terrific staff. My dog's second home, as far as he thinks.

No one takes better care of your 4 legged babies than the crew at K9 Country Club!

Well maintained dog daycare

Ok I guess

Clean environment
