Keep your pets far away from here.

We have been taking our Golden Retriever, the white tornado to RDR since he was a wee pup who was a…read morehandful. Everyone at RDR has been so responsible and caring with all the the fur babies. Cloud had a tough time with his grooming and bath at first, but with care and patience he now does very well. Cloud is now 3 years old and we would not think of taking him anywhere else for day care, grooming or boarding. There have been times of emergency and RDR has gone above and beyond making sure we had nothing to worry about when my husband and myself ended up in the hospital. RDR took such good care of Cloud. He just loves it there and gets so excited when we pull up. I think if he ever got lost he would find RDR before he would find home!

I have been taking my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Pippin, to Big Valley Pet Resort since he was…read more5 or 6 months old. I had a golden retriever before him, and I have never had as amazing an experience at a dog daycare, boarding, grooming, etc place as Big Valley. It is evident the staff absolutely love animals and put such care and dedication into ensuring every dog, cat, etc is not only safe, but having the bestest of times. I'm moving to the Boston area, and one of things that makes it hardest to leave Poulsbo is that Pippin is parting ways with one of his favorite places in the world. I'll forever and ever be grateful for everyone at Big Valley. I broke my leg a few summers ago and they were SO accommodating for me and Pippin, it melted my heart. Keri, Winter, Emma, Tapanga, Dayna, Nicole, Emily, Sarah, Hailey, Ava, Grace, Cal, Dylan, Megan, Keeley, Gideon, Meadow, and anyone else I missed - thank you all SO MUCH for being the best extended family for Pippin. You'll forever be part of Pippin's pack, along with all of his other furry buddies there. We love y'all, and honestly I'd recommend Big Valley Pet Resort over any other place I've been (even non pet related). They are the best, and I just hope Pippin's new place in Boston is at least almost as good :). Forever in our hearts.

I regularly use another kennel near Trigger Ave but this time, I figured it would be best to try…read moreout somewhere with exercise included in the cost which happens to be the best price in town (17/day) As I pulled up to the kennel, it was pitch black, I wasn't sure I was in the right spot until I heard the various dogs barking (common for all kennels). A strong smell of pee hit me as I waited for the staff to walk over to the door. The owners seem to live next door to the kennel. You ring the door bell which buzzes over to their house next door and wait for them to walk over. The staff had no record of my reservation, even though I had called a week prior and even called and left a message 2 hours prior to dropping my dog off. Good thing they had room and it wasn't a problem. I wanted to go into the area to see where my dog would be staying but they didn't let me come in. As I followed the staff, she shut the door behind her and as she came back out she said, "we ask people to stay up front", "we don't let customers back here". Those comments did not put my mind at ease. She also chuckled when she said that the heater wasn't working too well up front. I peaked inside the kennel and saw that the dogs were kept in areas separated by chain linked fence. I couldn't see how the indoor/outdoor separation was structured. I wanted to turn back around and take my dog elsewhere, but it was too late to find somewhere last minute so I settled. Recommendations to staff: 1- Take better notes of reservations 2- Try to clean up the strong odor of urine near the entrance 3- Allow pet owners to see where their pets would be staying I have to give the benefit of the doubt and trust that their "50+ years of experience" means that it is a great place to leave my pet. However, I must say, customer service is crucial. I will write follow up/edit review when I pick up my dog. Follow up: When we picked up our dog, he smelled awful. His bedding, blanket reeked of urine. My dog's behind had yellow stains on it leading us to believe that he was sitting on urine. He was fine however. He did not have any fleas or cuts. He was well fed. The customer service was par to subpar. Lesson learned: visit where you're going to keep your pet first and don't wait till the last minute. This is fine place if all you're looking for is a place for your pet to be kept safe and to be fed. I wouldn't have any more expectations than that.

At the suggestion of a fellow islander, I took my bichon frise to be groomed at Viking Kennels…read morelast week, and the groomer did a fabulous job. My dog was groomed, happy and calm. There were no barking dogs, just a few wagging happy ones, there was a slight pee smell and everything we saw looked clean and neat. The owner lives on the same property as the kennel, as does the groomer. The door was open, the staff was friendly, but then again, we were not arriving in a last-minute dramatic manner, either. It was mid-morning on a weekday. We made our appointment previous to our arrival. This is not Seattle, and this is not an expensive "dog lounge" that caters to the neuroses and personality disorders of the dog owner. This is a small, bare-bones family business in the country within the Poulsbo city limits. They do a very good job for a very reasonable price.

They…read moreclearly love what they do, and it shows in every interaction, every update, and most importantly, in how happy the dogs are. Ollie is the happiest puppy when he's there. He knows exactly where we're going the moment we turn down the street and absolutely sprints inside with excitement. He feels safe, confident, and genuinely loved, and the team has been incredible at helping him find the perfect mix of puppy friends that match his energy and personality. Ollie has been to both Rocket Dog locations, but he's a frequent flyer at the SLU location, where the team knows him so well. The facilities are always clean, safe, and thoughtfully run. The staff take exceptional care of every dog and communicate clearly and consistently, which gives us so much peace of mind. You can tell they pay attention... not just to the group, but to each individual pup. We've tried many other doggy daycares in the area and across Seattle, and Rocket Dog truly checks every single box. It's our go-to not only for daycare, but for overnight boarding as well. We trust Holly and her team completely and highly recommend Rocket Dog to any dog parent looking for reliable, loving daycare and boarding services.

We didn't think much of it. Stuff happens. 2nd was the worst ear infection I have ever seen. Clearly bloody outside and inside his ear. He was crazy scratching. Neither of these visits did we get a call from them letting us know so we could take action earlier. Our dog was clearly not walked or looked after on either of these visits. Unfortunately we will not be returning, and I recommend that you try another place first.

I don't know what happened to my dogs at this place, but it was not good. I would actually say I would give them no stars. My larger dog was so bad that we were talking about euthanasia.

I really like how they invite you out to meet your dog beforehand to ensure it will be a good fit. Mark also gave us a tour of the entire facility--he was great to speak and schedule with. The rest of the staff is very friendly and you can tell they are passionate about caring for the pups. They take any instructions you leave them seriously (such as feeding instructions, specific care, etc). The property is absolutely beautiful and you can tell the design was very intentional and made by someone who loves dogs. Every time we pick up Nugget she acts as if she doesn't even recognize us! She has so much fun and I love getting to see her photos of her time here--she always looks so happy and even makes a couple of new friends. This really is a special boarding facility; it is unlike anything you'll find anywhere else and it is so worth the drive. You really have to see it to see just how impressive the property is. P.S.: if you have a very anxious dog with severe separation anxiety, it's probably best you don't leave them at ANY boarding facility. Consider an in-home pet sitter instead.
