I'm so glad we found Ruff INN It! We had plans to be in the tri-cities area and on one day, we…read morewere scheduled to go on a tour that did not allow dogs, so needed to find a dog sitter/boarding in the area and found glowing reviews of Ruff INN It. To schedule an appointment with Ruff INN It, you must first make an account online, which is easy to do. This account allows you to upload your dog's vaccination records and also select a date and time for when your dog needs boarding. Soon after I created this and made a request of our preferred date, an employee called me to confirm the date and asked that since we were new clients, to schedule a meet and greet, which is their policy as they want to ensure that all dogs here are well-behaved and aren't socially aggressive with others. As soon as we came into town, we visited Ruff INN It for our meet and greet where the owner took our dog to the back area to introduce her to the other dogs and see how she reacted. He then invited us to come to the back of the area and see the facility. The facility is split into three different dog groups, depending on size and activity level. Our little dog was grouped with the other small dogs. For all the areas, there's an indoor area where they can sleep in one of the many beds and get water and they all have access to the fenced backyard area with artificial turf where they can play with the toys and balls, run around and go to the bathroom. Tons of space for the babies to play in! We dropped our little girl off at her scheduled appointment and the staff let us know that they would take photos of the dogs and post it on their Facebook for owners to see. When we came to pick her up, the staff let us know how much fun she had with other dogs, playing around. The owners of Ruff INN It are the sweetest people, too. I can't say enough positive words about Ruff INN It! If you're looking for dog boarding in the tri-cities area, this is definitely the spot to go to. Thank you, Ruff INN It!

After they passed the evaluation, our girls had the most amazing day of play, running and great interactions! Staff are knowledgeable and kind, and we can't wait to go back. A tired dog is a good dog... two tired dogs is even better.

Penrod Kennels is truly exceptional!…read more Recently, I came to Walla Walla to assist my elderly mother with a major surgery. Unfortunately, just before I left, my dog and house sitter backed out. My dog Milo has stayed at a few doggy daycares and kennels here in Portland and they were okay. But not knowing long I would be gone, and that there was a chance that he could stay with me part of the time, I wasn't sure that I wanted to commit to an extended stay anywhere. I went online and reviewed 3 different Kennels in the Walla Walla valley. Of those, Penrod Kennels appeared to be the best choice. They had the highest reviews, best rates, some great photos, an informative and a detailed website that also included a tutorial video about the kennels and their self-service option. You can also tailor your dog's experience by adding 1-on-1 time, play dates, and/or pool time which were all very affordable. I was impressed! We swapped a few texts and my vet faxed a copy of Milo's vaccinations before I showed up a few days later for a tour. Troy greeted me when I arrived and he gave me the tour of their amazing facility. He's a great guy; easy-going, conscientious, knowledgeable and just plain fun to talk with. And after seeing the pool and the cascading waterfall, I wanted to stay there myself. The facility was very well maintained and clean. It didn't have the odor that other kennels and daycare facilities have. By the time I left, I knew I had made the right choice. My mother's medical issues became a little complicated, so I asked a couple of times if Milo could stay on a while longer. Each time, they were extraordinarily easy-going and accommodating which was a tremendous help to me. In the end, he ended up staying there the entire 2 weeks. And although I was feeling a little guilty about leaving him for that long, his reaction when I picked him up told me that he was just fine. Great in fact. He didn't race to greet me and then instantly pull towards my car like usual. Instead, he just bounced back forth between me, Troy and Katy, like he didn't really care if he was going home yet. I often go to Walla Walla to visit family and friends. And although I live 4 hours away in Portland, I will most likely continue to bring Milo with me to stay at Penrod Kennels.

We've had a pest issue going on for almost a year now we've had six different pest companies come out been told multiple different things.

I've boarded my dog 3x in the last 2 months (2 one night stays and 1 full week). The most important…read morething is that my dog seems to enjoy his stay! He's never excitedly run inside a place I've boarded him before. They've also been very helpful in testing out suites vs. regular kennel (and they offered to try out the regular kennel (cheaper option) when I originally requested the suite). The staff also remember his allergies when I check in and reconfirm what they can/cant give him without my prompting. He also refuses to eat often, and he has had no problems eating there after a little coaxing with treats the first time he stayed. I feel like they actually take some time to get to know the dogs and enjoy taking care of animals. We will always be going to bnb even if it's a 30 minute drive away.

When I picked up my dog, I could not believe how she looked. She was absolutely the best I've ever seen her. She is about 16 years old and she has never had her coat so fluffy. Her coat was brushed, clean and fresh. No one has ever done as great a groom as Pupcakes. I would recommend this shop to anyone that loves their pet and wants to see them getting the best grooming they've ever had! Thank you Pupcakes.

She also has great relationships with customers, many who have been her clients for years.

We will be back when in the area or passing by. We will and have referred you to others. Oh and I almost forgot the extra added blessing of a play date.

The staff even wear hearing protection when they go in there. Can you imagine what this is doing to your dog! 3) They charge EXTRA for "play time". I didn't get a clear answer on this question, but if you don't pay for play time, does your dog even get to go outside during the day at all!? Or are they just stuck in there all the time! 4) Staff was not friendly and didn't want to answer questions 5) The owner (i assume, older guy, retired doctor) has a real "I know better then everyone" attitude.
