These people obviously love dogs. The staff is very professional and organized. The facility is clean and secure. Everyone there is very knowledgeable. The dogs are happy. Our Rottweilers loved being there, and they clearly felt safe and relaxed. I would definitely recommend bringing your dogs here. I couldn't stand to go on vacation and not know if my dogs were safe and happy. When my dogs are at Dogs-A-Jammin, I don't have to worry about anything. read more

Dogs-A-Jammin is like home away from home. My 3 love it and the border collies can run forever. Thank you for loving them too. read more

Dogs-A-Jammin - Resting, thank God! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

This place is amazing! I was so worried about leaving my 140lb Newfoundland at a new place - she can be a bit much to handle at times (imagine a dog tornado that can knock everything over). The staff were such great listeners and walked me through, in detail, how they were able to accommodate all kinds of dogs. The staff is extremely responsive to phone calls and emails. When my dog was boarded, I was able to see pictures of her stay and also got email updates as requested. My dog even came home with a cute report card, like she just came back from a day at elementary school. I have boarded a few more times since then, and same great service. Thanks DAJ! read more

Dogs-A-Jammin - My dog enjoying the sun at daycare - Pet Sitting Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

Our dog loves this place. Comes home so happy and tired (from playing). The staff is friendly and you can tell they love the dogs there.

Great place to leave your dog. They are in the middle of the forest near Redmond. They care a lot about your pets and treat them as their own. In fact, if it rains, they would put them coats! So cute! The staff is awesome and play with the dogs. Someone is watching them at all times through all the 3 parks they have. They mix the depending breed and age. They hae 2 houses just for the dogs and someone would sleep with them :) They would also gie them treats and a final cute one with their notes/grades hahaha Dogs are really happy there and you will know it through their FB posts and photos everyday. We will be having her next birthday there!! read more

They muzzle bully breeds without disclosing to owners. They take muzzles off for pictures. Our wonderful pitbull had sores all over his muzzle and when we inquired they disclosed their policy. They took pictures and posted them on Facebook without a muzzle. Unbelievable deception. If you have a policy of muzzling buy breeds at least disclose it so consumers can make an informed decision. By the way our muzzled dog has NEVER bit another dog EVER. read more

Dogs-A-Jammin - Pet Sitting Near Me - Woodinville, Washington

I don't write a lot of reviews but I thought in this instance I needed to. I was really worried about leaving my dog Jack with them. I mean REALLY worried. Jack has never been with anyone but my wife and I. It was honestly like leaving my child. However I felt better the minute we dropped him off. He bonded with them immediately and even walked away with them with no problem. While we were gone the worry didn't stop so we decided to call. We ended up calling a couple times during the trip and each time the person we spoke with took a lot of time to give us a thorough update on how Jack was doing. I was wondering how I would get through the trip while worrying to much about Jack, but with being able to speak to them so often I actually made it through the trip worry free. When we returned the gave us a report card with an awful lot of information and what Jack did while we were gone. They also sent him home with a cookie :) I would not hesitate to bring Jack there again! read more

My dog loves Dogs-A-Jammin! I have a little Yorkshire terrier named Penny. Penny is a high-energy, anxious, dynamic little dog who loves to socialize with anything and anyone who moves. I hated the idea of boarding her at a traditional boarding place where she would be in a run or a cage all by herself-- I'm pretty sure that in that kind of environment, she would bark nonstop and cut her nose on the bars of the cage like she does whenever she has to be in a cage at the vet-- and she is so easily bored that leaving her at home with our kitty-cats and our pet sitter who was coming twice a day to check-in didn't seem like the best option (I was sure I'd come home to two very traumatized cats if they were left with a bored terrier for hours at a stretch!). I feel so lucky to have found Dogs-A-Jammin. My very first time boarding Penny there, I had to call at the last moment due to a death in my immediate family. Terri was very gracious and kind to squeeze Penny in on very short notice, and I was very, very grateful to know that my doggy was being so well cared for when I had to leave her at such a difficult time. Terri exhibits a lot of care and concern for the dogs. Once, the day after staying overnight with Terri, my pup came down with a stomach bug. The vet felt that it was something that she must have picked up during the week before she was boarded-- it was the kind of thing that would have required several days to show itself after exposure, and Pen had only been boarding for a day and a half. I emailed Terri to let her know what had happened, just in case any of the other dogs started to feel ill-- I wasn't sure if my dog may have been contagious while she was there. All the other dogs were fine, it turned out, but Terri emailed me several times to check in on Penny and make sure that she was doing well. Her concern for my pup's welfare was genuine and touching. We've boarded Penny at Dogs-A-Jammin several times over the last few years. Penny is always super happy when we pull into the driveway-- she remembers the place, even though we often go months without boarding her. She always comes home happy and tired out. There are big yards, people who love dogs, and lots of other dogs about, so I imagine my little girl has a blast at "dog camp". read more

We originally took a very scared Corgi to Dogs-a-Jammin' to socialize him. He had been bullied by another dog and was quite skittish around any dog, no matter what size. After the first doggie daycare told us that they wouldn't take him, we called Dogs-a-Jammin' and were able to bring our dog there the next day. They loved him! And he loved them! Within a couple of days of daycare, our shy, scared pup was confidently playing with other dogs and having the time of his life. Terri and the wranglers are so dedicated to their "client" dogs and to the owners. They separate dogs into various yards by temperament, have plenty of rest time (though our dog comes home happy and tired each day), and are very safety conscious both in terms of physical safety and health. The report cards and cookies, plus daily Facebook photos, are an added bonus. This place is the BEST and our dog has many new friends that he runs to see each time we drop him off for daycare or boarding. A special "shout-out" to the great wranglers who play with the dogs, put raincoats on them if it's raining, know ALL the dog's names and habits, and despite the hard work, always smile and take time with the owners. read more

Excellent facility. Our dogs love it here and they are well cared for. We had to board our two boxer puppies on very short notice and Terri and her staff were amazing. read more

I can't even put into words how much I trust Terri and the staff at Dogs-a-Jammin' to take care of our beloved four year-old terrier. We visited several daycare/boarding facilities in our search and at one point, he flat-out refused to walk into one of them for a second visit. For me the proof that Dogs-a-Jammin' is a healthy and fun place for him is when our dog gets so excited as we pull into the driveway at Dogs-a-Jammin' and he can see the doggie cottage. He starts to wag his tail and you can tell he loves it there. Our dog has gone to Dogs-a-Jammin' for daycare for more than three years now and we have boarded him countless times there. It is hard to put that much trust in someone to care for a doggie family member, but we always know our boy is in good hands with Terri and her staff and trust Dogs-a-Jammin' implicitly with our boy. I know that Dogs-a-Jammin' is a fun place for our dog to run around with his buddies and get good exercise, but it is also a safe and healthy environment too. Our dog had a major surgery last summer and he was given special treatment there as he recuperated. That kind of trust is just invaluable. This is why I am so shocked and perplexed to see some of the negative comments here. In more than three years, we have never had a negative experience. It is clear to me that Terri and her staff are professional, genuinely love dogs and take great care with them. Terri sends home regular report cards so we can keep track of how our dog is doing, whether he has any issues and who his friends are. She also posts a regularly updated photo gallery on her website and it is so fun to see the pictures of our boy running around with his friends. I have recommended Dogs-a-Jammin' several times to friends and colleagues and will absolutely continue to do so. read more

We board our dog here regularly. He is a high energy breed and this facility has a lot of outdoor time on a largish property. We've been pretty pleased with it to date. We call it "doggy camp" as it basically seems like sleep over camp for dogs. read more

I used to do daycare and boarding at other places... my dog would always be EXHAUSTED, and it took me a long time to realize he was just way overstimulated and never given the chance to remove himself from situations. I stumbled upon Dogs a Jammin and fell in love with the HUGE yards - yards because they can section dogs apart from each other and keep dogs moving with new scenery. This was exactly what my dog needed... space, trees, mud, puddles, and a lot of grass. Another reason they're great is the boarding situation. My dog needs to be crated, so I can't utilize their no-crate option, but he isn't in a cold basement or crammed in a dark, cement room. They work with all of his annoying habits and his special needs, and I'm so glad I found them. They practice positive training and have a lot of patience to put up with my dog!! highly recommended. read more

Dogs a Jammin' (DAJ) and Terri who set up this wonderful service is a godsend for our family and has been for the 4+ years we have been working with them. Our dogs have always been part of our family and we are very careful about their care. We first heard about DAJ via a neighbor with the same values. We setup a visit and were impressed with the standards, care and health. We also loved that our dogs would have the opportunity to safely play with other dogs and get so much exercise. With our busy work schedules, we use the daily day care for weekdays. We also travel quite a bit so the boarding is wonderful to count on too. Our canines love it there too. They are always excited to go to DAG and tired when they come home. As well, I'd like to highlight that Terri and her team really do go the extra mile for their customers and pets. Our Manchester Toy Terrier, Prinz, had to have knee surgery (unfortunately a common issue with their breed). Not only did Terri's team take special care of him during his weeks of recovery, the veterinary surgeon and his staff commented on his really great healing and overall healthy state. We owe this almost entirely to Terri and her committed staff. While I offered to pay extra knowing that they had to give him medicine during the day, keep him separated from the pack for 4 weeks and give him separate walks when he was able, Terri declined the extra funds as a matter of principle and commitment to his well-being. In short, we don't know what we would do without Dogs a Jammin and recommend this exceptional service to anyone who seeks a safe, caring and fun place for your canine family members to be! read more

We just started using dogs-a-jammin for boarding. My golden, Bailey, has come back twice now tired and happy. The first time we picked her up she did her excited wiggle when she saw me, but then tried to lead me back to DAJ to meet her new friends. It's obvious they treat the dogs well. read more

We toured Dogs-A-Jammin awhile back as an informational visit. We were in the market for day care/boarding facilities. Our dog hasn't stayed outside our home since we got him. He's our baby. We want to make sure he's well-cared for if we are away from him for any reason. The facilities are beautiful. The dogs were happy and well-cared for. The owner is personable, and obviously loves what she does. We got one look at the business' contract, and decided to keep looking. I went to look at Dogs-A-Jammin's website again today. We're scheduled to attend a family wedding in August that's a two-day affair, and inappropriate for our chocolate Lab. Again. The contract. It might be the greatest place known to mankind for dogs, but their humans are asked to perform a fence inspection when leaving their pup at the facility. A reasonable request. Of course, the business is indemnified if our dog went through a hole in that fence which may have occurred after the "inspection". The business is indemnified if our dog is injured or infected by another dog, despite the fact our dog is asked for a recent stool sample test, proof of immunizations, etcetera. They're indemnified if there is "joy riding" including our dog. There's no place to note on said contract that we don't want our dog riding in anyone else's vehicle without our permission. The last straw for me, though, is the fact the business seems to believe it's appropriate to draw up a contract in which they have all the protections, and we (and our dog,) have none. The chances are good that nothing bad would happen to our brown pup in an overnight stay. He would probably have a great time, and we'd take him home again without incident. At the same time, I am leery of patronizing any business at all with a contract more complicated than the one we sign to rent a car, or consent to medical treatment in a hospital emergency room. read more

Full disclosure: I did not leave my dog there after the initial appointment. It is due to the wonderful reviews that this place seemed attractive. In fact, there is nothing to recommend this sad setting. I understand the importance of a pre-arranged appointment given that dogs need to have routine/continuity. But the reality of the place left us incredulous. The dogs were eerily quiet, crated and sad. Not one eager bark or interaction was had or heard within the hour. The smell of methane was overwhelming. Blankets were filthy, the 'wrangler to dog ratio' is the answer to overcrowding. When asked specifics, the CYA was painfully transparent. It is filthy. I asked about air conditioning...perhaps there is. However. There was no ventilation at the time we were on site. How the personnel work there with the rank smell and conditions, is beyond me. Frankly, whoever leaves their pet there has a different idea of compassion and/or standards of care. When I asked the amount of time a dog was crated, the answer was '3'. That is 7 hours short the total of nighttime confinement. Ten hours of containment within overcrowded, underventilated environment is horrendous. When our family discussed the issue/s, we couldn't believe that those working there were unaware of conditions. My take? These dogs were either drugged or the most depressed animals I've ever witnessed. My grandfather started the Humane Society in NC. All I'm doing is reporting the sad facts. Those who left their animal within this environment have no standards, a lack of discretion and/or compassion. I can't get the images out of my mind. My family's sense of the matter was the same. read more

Terri is a nice enough lady however I'm taking the time to write this review because I recently found out some disheartening things about Dogs A Jammin. Unfortunately I learned that Terri like to put ZAPPING BARK COLLARS on anydog which barks. Undoubtedly most dogs bark because she has more then 50 dogs on property at any given days around the holidays she boast up to 100 dogs which I personally feel is more then what 3 pet care people can safely handle. On top of all this she does in fact have plenty of dog kennels that she puts you dog in if they are hyper at all. This is neccasary because she does have so many dogs. The problem is that her biggest selling point is that she is Kennel free. Anyways that's my twocents I should say that there are plenty of doggie daycares in Redmond who do not have so many dog so you can rest assured that your pup will get much more personalized attention read more

We have been loyal customers of dogs-a-jammin for the past 3-4 years. Our two pups have spent over 50 nights there and we have great experiences to report. Terri, Katy, and crew of amazing wranglers love our pups like their own. The feelings must be mutual because our dogs run in with tails wagging when I drop them off. It is as if the pups are saying, "finally we're back". The dogs are free to play outside in one of four areas during the day. The staff posts pictures every day to FB, which is a fun way to check in while we're gone. The dogs are always tired, calm, and happy when I pick them up. DAJ sends home a cute report card that lets us know how the dogs did, who they liked to play with, and if any concerns were observed. The report card comes with a treat that our kids love to give to the dogs. Thanks Dogs-a-jammin for peace of mind when we are gone. read more

It's like Disneyland for dogs! My puppy has gone there twice so far for daycare and on the second time she already didn't want to leave when it was time to go home! The staff here truly care for the dogs. I was impressed that they knew my puppy's name and who I was there to pick up on the very first day without me uttering a word. Even though there are many dogs there, they know each dog, not just by name, but what her personality is like, who her best friend is, what she likes to do, etc. The individualized care and attention given to each dog is amazing to me, given that it looks kind of like a dog park inside the dog yards, with lots of dogs happily romping around and playing together. I love how they gave me a detailed report card and a cookie for my puppy to take home after the first day! I was really worried the first day I took my puppy in because she was going through a fear imprint period and had just had some not so pleasant experiences (to her) that made her shy and unsure with strangers and scared of new environments. I needn't have worried! She bonded with the staff right away and willingly went in with one of the male staff (and this from a puppy that was going through a period where she was scared of strange men!). Terri, the owner, also took the time to chat with me and set my worries at ease. She even helped me teach my puppy how to get into my car by herself (my puppy has been having problems with not wanting to get into the car). Despite wearing nice clothes for going to a memorial service, Terri climbed into the very furry trunk of my SUV and clapped and encouraged my puppy to join her in the trunk! Even though my pup was unsure of how to actually put her hind legs on the step to climb in at the time, Terri's enthusiasm worked! My puppy *wanted* to go into the trunk to join her. And once she figured out the mechanics of how to actually get in, she is now no longer hesitant to go into the car (though she wants to jump out in excitement as soon as she gets in... But that's a different issue!) I appreciated how Terri was so willing to spend her time to help me with my puppy even though I'm sure she must have a million other things she needs to attend to! read more

My dog has been going to Dogs-A-Jammin both for daycare and boarding for the last two years, and I could go on forever about all of the things I love about the place. First of all, the space itself is fantastic. There are several different yards as well as indoor spaces for the dogs to enjoy all day. You can also really tell they make safety a top priority - they have double gates, all of the staff wear walkie talkies, and they separate the dogs into groups based on size and temperament. I communicated with the staff mostly via email, and they were very flexible and accommodating with my schedule changes. They also send home great report cards with a cookie. It was a highlight of my weeks to find out who my dog was playing with, what award she got that day, and to read their extra comments. The staff is so kind and professional and you can tell they take an interest in each individual dog and really enjoy their jobs. Unfortunately I recently moved further away and am no longer able to bring my dog to daycare on a weekly basis, and I actually feel really guilty about it because I know it was something she loved. Dogs-A-Jammin remains my top choice for boarding, and is absolutely worth the drive. I have a difficult time trusting anyone with my pup, but when she is at DAJ, I am able to actually enjoy myself on vacation and not worry, knowing that she is having a blast and receiving lots of love. I would (and have) absolutely recommend this place. read more

This is such a long overdue review! We love DAJ. Their employees, the whole set up has been optimized for the convenience and safety of the dogs, their owners, and neighbors. Our dogs have been going to DAJ for years. Most recently they spent a month while we were busy moving. They are flexible and workable with you. Their owner, Terry is wonderful. We couldn't be more grateful. read more

I was looking to find a reputable place to board my 2 dogs. My 4 year old German Shepherd and 7 month old Golden Doodle. Both are extremely friendly and good natured. I had heard good things about "Dogs a Jammin", so I decided to go through the process and take the tour. I was totally in agreement with how they screen for dogs that are not vaccinated and not friendly to be able to stay at their facility. In the agreement and on my tour it was stated that if my dog was to become unruly then I gave permission for them to have them muzzle my dog if 100% deemed necessary. Here is where the problem is: As part of their procedure I was to drop my dogs off for the day to see how they interact and socialize with all the dogs. I was NOT in any way worried that my dogs were going to be a problem. I noted that my German Shepherd was the type of dog that like to play rough and LOVES to play ball, which they said was no problem that there were a lot of tennis balls for him to play with and they monitor the dogs IF things might get out of hand from time to time. I found out that these people put a muzzle on my dog for the whole time he was there!!!!!! The owner stated that they "did not want to take a chance that there would be an issue with my dog"? They put a muzzle on my dog before they was any chance of seeing that there was an issue!!!!! The whole point of dropping them off for the day was to see if they were going to be ok? If there was going to be an issue, I would assume they would have called me and tell me that I need to pick my dogs up? Instead, they only ASSUMED that my German Shepherd was a bad dog, and muzzled him! He then could not play ball as they said he could, put him in danger if he was attacked, and traumatized him because he has NEVER needed to be muzzled. There was no warranted reason for how they treated my dog. I would think twice about sending your dog to this place, unless you have a 10lb dog or a dog that has no teeth. read more

Grateful doesn't express how much I appreciate the wonderful care my dogs receive when they visit Dogs-A-Jammin. It truly is their second home - that's how comfortable and happy they are when they visit. It seems to be the perfect place for them as they are always excited when we arrive and relaxed and happy when I pick them up.  No crazy behavior like they thought they would never see me again... because  they have all those nice folks at DAJ caring for them.. so yeah, we love you .. we missed you.... but... it's pretty cool here.. they pet us and love on us and we get to play outside too!  Recently I was dropping off two of my dogs to visit and the one that was going to stay with me, got really miffed when he wasn't invited out of the car to go to Dogs-a-Jammin with the other two.  That's a good "review" right there!  Terri treats all of the dogs as if they were her own.  She hires excellent people and trains them well.  I trust all of the staff at Dogs-a-Jammin to take the best care possible of each doggie guest.  It means so much to be able to leave town and know that my dogs will be loved on and watched over as if they were part of their family.  Special medications are never a problem.  My dogs love their crates and I appreciate that they can have some down time to rest and relax after playing outside during the day.  Peace of mind for me when I leave and wiggly waggly happy dogs when I return.  THANK YOU to everyone at Dogs-a-Jammin' for all you do each day to give the best care to our fur babies! read more

Dogs A Jammin and all their staff are lifesavers! I take my dog every weekend to enjoy some exercise and to help socialize him with other dogs. Our english bulldog enjoys every part of his stay there! The staff treat him like he is a person and love on him from the second we drop him off. He comes home worn out completely and we rest easy knowing that he got the attention and exercise that he needs. Their rates are very reasonable for the type of schedule that they keep - they keep them very busy with outings as well as relaxing time. I like knowing that our dog is going to be busy while he is there! Our dog has always been treated like a member of the family there, we really appreciate them! Dogs A Jammin also has great staff members. Cody is my doggie's favorite and our dog will run right into his arms when he sees him! It make me feel comfortable leaving him in hands of true dog lovers! Our first trip that we left him, we were very anxious because we were gone for a week but Terri made sure to email us and let us know how he was doing, that was such a great thing to have because it put us at ease. I cannot say enough great things about Dogs A Jammin and their staff. I refer everyone I know to them and will continue to use them. Their facilities are very clean, safe, and are arranged to get the most comfort out of each space for each doggie. Another great feature of Dogs A Jammin is that they post pictures on their website (link on their home page) of dogs throughout each month. They will snap a huge amount of pictures each day and will upload them to the website. We always like going onto the website and catching glimpses of our dog running around with the other dogs or playing keep away with the ball. You can even print the pictures off the website. They snap some really cute ones and usually you can catch you dog in more than one. So, in short, I love Dogs A Jammin! They have always treated my dog how I would treat him and we have NEVER had ANY problems there. We go three days a week (Saturday - Monday) and have for the last year and half and believe that it is the best money spent. Three cheers for Dogs A Jammin!!! read more

This place is awesome! My dog, Kat, loves to visit. I found this place specifically because they don't kennel. Kat has severe separation anxiety. In the passed when we have tried to kennel train her, she has ripped out her own teeth trying to escape. Terri, the owner, takes in a lot of anxiety dogs for the humane society, so this is nothing new for her. With that knowledge, I know that Kat is getting the best care possible. It is also so great that there is so much land for the dogs to romp around on. The staff is always friendly and greets you quickly. I never think twice about Kat's well being when she is there. Plus they post daily pictures to facebook so you can see what your four legged friend is up to! read more

I got a quote for $40 a night over the phone. When I went to check out the place the lady told me its going up to $55/night June 1st. The place appears really crowd in the dogs. Impossible to see how many there were since some dogs are crated and I couldn't see in all the dark crates. Doubled stacked crates lined one wall in both rooms toured. An open kennel shouldn't have that many crates. I was trying out this place because my usual kennel is such a drive. Dogs-a-Jammin is overcrowded and overpriced--What a racket! read more

I never leave my dogs anywhere or with anywhere as an end result my family hasn't taken a vacation in 4 years.I have 2 dogs- Mojo and Mia. Mojo has hip issues, so you can imagine how tense i get if i have to leave him with anyone, even for a few hours. we looked into a lot of pet hotels, pet sitters, and even with friends. but nothing satisfied us. Our vet finally suggested dogs-a-jammin. I have to admit , i was worried and wasn't sure if this was the best option. when we introduced them to my dogs, my younger one , Mia immediately took to them, while the older one Mojo was still a little shy. I was still upset on the first day of our vacation. but the staff kept calling me everyday to tell me how they were doing. they put up with me calling them like the crazy mother that i am. they even took pictures and sent me emails everyday, sometimes twice a day. I cant describe how much that put me at ease and i could enjoy the first vacation that we had taken. Mojo, who had problems adjusting the first couple of days, was even sleeping in Terri's room, along with Mia, so that he could be at ease. when we got back , i noticed a change in Mojo. he was usually shy around dogs and would be terrified of men. but after spending a week and dogs-a-jammin, he is interacting more with other dogs and seems more at ease with our male friends. this is a HUGE step forwards for us. our little one who was described very aptly in one of Terri's emails as a "social butterfly" was the same happy puppy, who seemed to like her new friends , dogs and people there. When we left, there were report cards on what the two of them had done during the week, much like what you would expect from a day care center for kids.there were even two gooddie bags for them. we highly recommend dogs-a -jammin to anyone who needs pet boarding, even for a few hours. I plan to leave my babies there for a few hours every week, so that they can enjoy the open space and the company of other dogs. I also feel that it would help Mojo get over his fear of other dogs, strangers and men even more. i cant thank Terri and the staff of dog-a-jammin enough for taking such good care of my babies. read more

I have been with Terri from the very beginning, when she was just starting out as a dog-walking service. I knew right from the beginning Terri was one of those rare people who have instant canine connections when my dog Georgia came over and curled up right under her feet at our first meeting. Tasha lived 19 years, and Georgia lived 17 years and through all of those years, Terri and Dogs-a-Jammin' was the only place I would ever trust to take care of my girls (and that is saying a lot, coming from me). When Tasha had to be put to sleep earlier this summer, Terri met us at the vet to help us through the process. That says a lot right there. Dogs-a-Jammin' has expanded quite a bit since the early days, and I'm glad to see it succeed. The staff there truly love the dogs, and the place is always kept nice and clean and quiet. I love the report cards we get at the end of the stay so we know what our dogs got to do. We have a new special-needs dog, Karley, who has already been out to doggy day-care at Dogs-a-Jammin' several times and loves it. We won't be taking her anyplace else. read more

I love this place. Everyone is friendly and goes out of there way to help. We adopted a little dog name Elly. Dog a jammin rescued her and brought her back to life. It was hard to see her leave there cause they got to know Elly. If it wasn't for them we would not have her. read more

My dogs love going to dogs-a-jammin'. A great atmosphere, lots of room to run and play. She always sends home a report card and a little treat. They come home happy and tired. read more

My parents used to take their Dalmatian , Tessa, to Dogs-a-Jammin' when they would go out of town, and she always came back a little skinnier (which she needed) and more subdued (which was excellent, especially for a hyper Dalmatian), but that only lasted a couple of days. Ha ha ha. So naturally, when my husband and I brought Rufus, our Mini Dachshund, into our family, I went with my parents recommendation on where to board. The first time we left him, I was so anxious that I emailed them every other day to check in. And every other day, someone responded to let me know that Rufus was happy and making friends. A couple years after bringing Rufus home, we brought another English Cream Mini Dachshund, named Louis. We were a little nervous about leaving Louis, he was not as out going as Rufus, and was a little bit more leery of new dogs...again, I emailed to check in on him and they said he is adjusting well, has a crush on a girl named Penny and is trying to find new peaceful places to nap. Rufus and Louis have a BLAST at Dogs-A-Jammin'. Their tails wag uncontrollably when we tell them they are going to go see Terry. It makes me happy to see them so excited, and when we drop them off, they run straight for the gate and staff, which makes leaving them a little easier. When we pick them up, they are always happy to see us, but I think a little sad to go. Dogs-a-Jammin' adds a lot of personal touches to how they care for your dogs and I absolutely LOVE the report cards and cookies that are sent home with them. All and all, I have used Dogs-A-Jammin' for 5 years and my parents used them for 10 years prior. Dogs-A-Jammin' will ALWAYS be apart of our family and we will never take our 4-legged fur babies anywhere else. read more

Our old dog has been visiting dogs a jamming for either occasional day care or boarding since mid 2009. We love this place. They took care of our old fellow during the days when he was on chemo medications few years ago when we did not want to leave him alone at home. Now, our senior citizen dog had limited mobility along with other old age issues and Terri and the wonderful staff at Dogs-A-Jammin cheerfully take him in on occasions we are out of town. I would not trust my dog, a member of our family, to anyone else. read more

First - I'd like to echo the deception part. Their tour shows only what they'd like you to see -- not what happens behind the scenes. Their focus is on pleasing the "parents" with cute little report cards & cookies (which I repeatedly said my dog could not have) & lots of cuddly noises at drop off & pickup. I also had the problem with the cost being quoted as $40 when it was actually $55. Some behind-the-scenes specifics: My dog may have had fun playing, (no way to know except for their little report cards) however... She was recovering from pancreatitis, had lost 8# in the process, & needed special food & pills. Though I explained that in detail, on a "test" day, she did not get ~1/3 of her needed food. I pointed that out, re-wrote instructions & re-packaged food to make things very easy. The owners called saying I'd yelled at their wrangler, which I definitely did not. I apologized (maybe I was curt?) & thought things were under control, However... When I picked up my pup 2 weeks later, she had not gotten ANY of at least 1 of her pills because that bottle was still sealed. I suspect she did not get other pills either though cannot say for sure as seals were broken when I gave bottles to them. I will not be returning to Dogs-A-Jammin. No way could I trust them to take care of my dog. They simply do not have the systems in place to handle all the dogs they take in (50-60+ per day) -- or to handle & integrate constructive criticism that might help them improve. read more

Our dog has been attending daycare at Dogs-A-Jammin for the past few months and we couldn't be happier with the service. I'm surprised to read the negative reviews that have been posted here. Terri, the owner, has always been responsive to questions and concerns. She generally responds to emails within a hour. The staff has been loving and kind to our dog who we adopted earlier this year from a rescue group. Our dog practically jumps out of the car when we pull in for daycare she's so excited to get there. I've never seen a staff member kick or hurt a dog or in anyway. We looked at several daycares in Redmond and Bellevue before choosing this one. The other daycares offered little or no outdoor space and kept dogs in kennels for at least part of the day. Terri offers dogs a chance to play and socialize under loving care and supervision. read more

Dogs-a-Jammin' is my dogs' home away from home, and I am so thankful for the peace of mind I get when entrusting my precious furkids to Terri and her crew. Terri is such an animal lover, very careful and conscientious, always has the dogs' best interests at heart - she's taught me a lot over the years too. I've taken my dogs there for years for daycare and boarding with utmost confidence. Love Dogs-a-Jammin and I can't envision a better doggie daycare! read more

I only give them a 1 as I can't give them a negative number. Took my little rescue pup there for a trial run thinking about boarding her for a week. When I picked her up she was FREAKED OUT! I asked how the day went, and the handler said it went fine, though she had a little trouble settling in and they had to use a "bark collar." I took her home and it was hours before she was calm. Then I went online to see what a "bark collar" is. It is a shock collar! I called the owner first thing in the morning and wanted to know exactly what went on. She said they had to keep the shock collar on her all day as she was barking (yes, she was barking! She has had severe separation anxiety, of which I told them about). She also told me they kept her in a crate all day. My question to her was why in god's name would you take a scared little dog who is suffering from separation and put a shock collar on her and then isolate her further by putting her in a crate?! I will NEVER take my dog there again. I have used several other facilities and NOT ONE ever put a shock collar on her. read more

We have a 1 year old Havanese that spent three days during Spring Break at Dog's a Jammin. We went there because the place came highly recommended by two trainers in our area. Now, I'll be honest, when I first read the negative reviews on Yelp, I was very concerned, but with those references in hand, and knowing how it's difficult to fully know the legitimacy of reviewers, I decided to discuss my concerns face to face with Terri. I toured the facilities, had my questions answered and decided to give them a try. Check-in was a little disorganized, but other than that, I felt that our dog would be safe and entertained with new friends. Pick up was straight forward and I especially appreciated the little personal note detailing what his experiences were like while he was there. The only drawback, no grooming/bath although even with the terrible spring weather, our guy appeared to be pretty clean. Based on our experiences, we'd use them again. read more

Terri goes above and beyond to care for your dog. I have boarded my dogs at Dogs-A-Jammin for 4+ years. I have always thought highly of Terri and the care she gives but it wasn't until my oldest, a 10-year old Doberman, had health issues that I came to appreciate the high quality of care that Terri gives. While staying with Terri, Spark (my Dobie) developed a UTI. We were in Costa Rica and Terri could not get a hold of us. She took the initiative to take Spark to our veterinarian. The vet had some concerns and did a sonogram in addition to prescribing antibiotics. Terri left me several voice mails and emails letting me know what happened and that the vet was worried there might be something more and wanted to have a specialist do a more detailed sonogram. I was able to call Terri and she said she would do whatever I wanted. She made an appointment for 9am the next day with our vet and called me from the office so that I could talk with the vet and decide what to do. The specialist was going to be in at 11am and could do a sonogram then. Instead of leaving Spark with the vet and going on with her day, Terri waited with Spark for 2 hours until the specialist arrived and was there to take her back home as soon as she was done. The outstanding attention that Terri gave during this time shows how much she truly cares about dogs. I know, without a doubt, that she will do all that she can to make sure that our dogs have the best care possible. From the sonogram, it was determined that Spark had polyps in her bladder and they were worried about cancer. The vet recommended surgery. I was hesitant and called Terri for advice. She referred me to some specialists. In addition, she called her own vet and described my situation. Her vet took the time to do some research and called me with advice. Long story short, I took Spark to one of the specialists recommended and we avoided a major, unnecessary surgery. Even when my dogs were not with her, I felt that Terri went above and beyond to help me out. My dogs have always liked going to Dogs-A-Jammin. Spark is always excited when we get there, greets Terri and runs off to the play area. All the employees that I have met have been very friendly and good with our dogs. I highly recommend Dogs-A-Jammin and wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else. read more

Our older pup has gone to DAJ for daycare, over a year now and our younger one does too. We love the place for our big breed pups. They have a ton of space to run & play and the pups are always supervised. They staff know each dog that comes there, take time to understand their personality, Our pups are in different play groups based on our request. I have problem eaters who tend not to finish their food, DAJ will take their food from us & attempt feeding them later on during lunch time. We've also tried boarding them there & they love it (a bit too much IMO!). Both my boys start getting super excited on the way there and go nuts when they see the wranglers. They also post photos on facebook everyday so you can see who your baby's friends are. The only thing I find really inconvenient is their rigid drop-off and pick up times & they don't have like a half-day concept like few other daycares. We understand that's due to their location and to avoid issues with other neighbors, bottom line is my super fussy pups like the place and that's good enough for us. read more
