My cranky old dog (15) is a bit Extra for other boarding places (stressed out, not eating, rubbed…read morenose raw, doesn't play well with others, etc.!). Lots of separation anxiety. Then we found Hyline!! She was at Hyline for over a week on the first visit and did fine. No raw nose when we picked her up. She had a private "room" and I paid a little extra for one-on-one attention (tuck-in service!! What!!), and a peanut butter-filled Kong once daily. They sent us photos and updates. She even ate while she was there! Second visit was good, too. She didn't even hang back when it came time to leave her, just went along to her kennel. Pretty surprising, for her! The place is clean and well-kept. They do doggie daycare, too. We appreciated the good service and care for our good old girl!

1) Completely failed to give my dog critical medication for 9 days (after its importance was…read moreemphasized to them at check in). 2) They took my dog to the ER for normal old dog sounds ("authorized" by my emergency contact who believed them there was an emergency- ER did literally nothing, agreeing my dog was fine and did not need x-rays, etc). 3) Uninvited one dog of mine (one of three) to stay again because she has cancer - after years and many, many thousands of dollars worth of stays she was dumped as a client. Yes, her poo would have chemo drugs in it, but it's frankly not that hard to just pick it up. Plenty of dogs are on meds that are excreted in poop. Their operation is a ridiculous cash grab of low lying fruit (easy dogs) using mostly untrained kids to run it. Zero commitment to long term clients. Glad they fired my sweet old girl as I now have my 3 dogs staying somewhere that is actually run by good people that care.

Great place, my dogs love it. I will be honest I was very reluctant to go here after reading the…read moreyelp post from 2011/2012, but I already made reservations beforehand, and the staff/day care crew seemed amazing. They greeted not only me but both my dogs by name (I know for you Internet trolls that they have a computer that tells them that, but I like when a business is professional enough to greet people/pets by name). I kenneled both Romeo (large dog) and Lizzie (medium) at northwest kennels, they both seemed clean and happy after a week under the care of NW kennels. When I picked them up they both were bright eyed and entergized but when I got home they both hit the ground and slept soundly for hours. Stars: I rated them four because a lot of local kennels did seem to include day care free with boarding, northwest didn't. But of all the kennels I called thier staff seemed the nicest/ professional that I talked too. I would recommend nw kennels

GREAT first grooming experience for our dog with Kati at Northwest K-9! Our pup is 9 months old,…read moreshy, and sensitive and she came out of her appointment all tail wags! She's so soft and smells amazing, and Kati did a beautiful job trimming and shaping her hair so that she kept her natural look, just more manageable and tidy. My friend said, "She's still Clover, just 40% less Einstein haha. Very cute!" Everyone we spoke to was so friendly and the whole place was beautiful and clean. We'll definitely be back!

Best place for nail trimming! We have a senior rescue chihuahua who is scared of hands (and people…read morein general). He also has one weird nail that curls under and grows into his paw pad and is very hard to cut. We usually do walk-in, and they have always been able to accommodate us within 10 minutes or so. This is the only place we have been that has successfully cut his nails (we don't drummel). Sometimes, we hold him while they cut the nails - or there is one lady there who takes him under her arm and does the whole thing herself while holding him (to my amazement each time).

Since I last wrote, our hairy, crazy boy has been coming here regularly for grooming. We know he is…read morefar from perfect but somehow he comes back looking absolutely gorgeous! I think the groomer must be part magician as this dog is huge and never holds still for a minute (labradoodle, 70 lbs). Every time they bring him out after grooming, it takes me a minute to recognize him as he looks so different! We can tell he feels better too! He also enjoys hearing, smelling the other dogs there for boarding, daycare hahah and is not in any hurry to leave . So simple for us parents, we just drop him off and a few hours later, we get a call that he is ready. Excellent customer service, everyone is super attentive and polite. Thanks Rover Stay Over and see you next time!

We recently moved to Bellingham from Louisiana and had our first visit with Dr. Ghia Zalewa, and I…read morehonestly couldn't be more grateful for the care she gave my dog, Fran. From the moment we arrived, the entire staff was kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful--and they were even able to get us in that very morning, which meant so much to us as newcomers. Dr. Zalewa spent an exceptional amount of time with us, never rushed, and was so patient and thoughtful. What really stood out was how genuinely compassionate she was--she even sat on the floor with my pup to help Fran feel comfortable. That kind of care and presence is rare and deeply appreciated. As someone who truly values providers who take the time to listen and connect, I can confidently say we've found our veterinary home.
