I adopted an 8 year old GSP/lab mix in June 2016. When he seemed like he was settling in and…read moreadjusted to living with me, I started to look at daycare/boarding options. This turned out to be a real challenge. My dog is super high-energy and was marked as having behavioral issues, so I started with just short 3 hour stays at doggie daycare. Even at that I was told he gets too grumpy with other dogs and expressed separation anxiety. We worked with a trainer and a behavioralist but still had issues at daycare. It was getting to the point where I didn't think I would be able to leave him, but then I found PNWK. My dog, Nikan, absolutely loves it there. They have huge outdoor runs and all of the staff are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and care. Can't count the number of times I have used their services and boarding, both short- & long-term. And... with no issues! It warms my heart to hear reports such as, "we can put him with any dog, he just loves to play". PNWK is my only choice for doggy daycare and boarding, even though they are an hour drive from home.

I come from the dog world and used to groom and work in kennels, so I knew what I did and did not want when boarding my dogs. I was absolutely blown away by how smart the staff are and how well they handle the different dogs that come in. I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them because I know they will always take care of them. Apart from how much I love Pacific Northwest Kennels, is how much my dogs love it! They go crazy in the car when we're getting close and sprint in the door excited to see everyone. Was so happy to have found this place because my dogs don't do that with anywhere else. They absolutely love it here!

We will definitely use her service again.

They noticed a gas leak in the stove and made sure the gas was turned off to the appliance. Ultimately, Carol was not only a superb cat sitter, she was also a great house sitter! Highly recommended.

My job requires me to board my dog sometimes with little notice and Roberta is always quick to respond if there's availability. My dog recently did the K9 boot camp and she has come home a different dog. She was once high energy, jumped up on everyone and never listened. We were really frustrated with her. She now knows all her basic commands sit, stay, come, heel etc but best of all she seems so much calmer and content. We are so grateful to Roberta.

I sent my 2 small dogs to Darling Dogs for 17 days while I was on a family vacation. When I picked…read morethem up, it was very obvious my dog Sophie had lost enough weight that her ribs and backbone were clearly protruding. Once I got home, I tried to feed her and she wouldn't eat, seemed depressed, and was clearly not herself. Although she looked emaciated, her belly was extremely distended. Both dogs were drinking water excessively. At this point, I was very worried about Sophie and took her to the vet who was quite concerned over her body condition and weight loss, dehydration and bloated stomach. She was put on an IV for 2 hours to rehydrate and had to go through sedation. Worried that Sophie may have a blockage, my vet did x-rays which showed her stomach was expanded three times the normal size and was full of food. It's a mystery how she could be emaciated yet somehow, she had gorged herself with food... The owner of Darling Dogs said she had no idea what happened, but said it's possible that Sophie got into another dog's food. The only other explanation that I can think of is that, once they went to get Sophie ready for me to pick her up, they finally noticed how skinny she was and overfed her in hopes it would be less noticeable. Both of these ideas are very upsetting to me. Whatever the case, I can't believe that the staff could have not noticed how much weight she was losing in their care. Obviously, for whatever reason, Sophie was not eating or getting food, and no one noticed what was happening. I contacted the owner at least 3 times while I was gone to see how my dogs were doing, and each time I was told they were doing very well or "amazing." This was obviously not true because I came home to a dog that was emaciated. My veterinarian was almost as upset as I was about the state of Sophie. X-rays, IV, blood work and urine analysis were done, and I was sent home with two kinds of medication and special food. I spent over $800 to make sure she was okay. I explained to the owner about what happened and sent her the x-rays, pictures of Sophie, and a copy of the vet's report and bill. She did not take any responsibility for what happened, never offered to compensate, never apologized, and never even asked how Sophie was doing. Her attitude was "everyone makes mistakes." I understand that mistakes can happen, but there is just absolutely no way that it should be possible for a dog to become visibly emaciated with no one noticing. That's not a mistake - that's negligence. A picture is worth a thousand words and you can be the judge of what happened to Sophie.

Her explanation was she is a small business and she has to pay her employees I guess she pays her employees in advance this is not about the money at this point i was going to pay over $600 for my dogs stay. I guess i should have looked into my crystal ball telling me that i am not aloud to go on holidays with my family this is not a good place for anyone to book a stay for there animal i would recommend going somewhere else if this is the way they treat there paying customers i could just imagine how they treat my family pet i will never step foot in this place again and I suggest no one else should either these people remind me of the people selling toilet on amazon they are taking advantage of the situation going on in the world due to the virus

It was critical to find a kennel that was a good fit for him. We had been using another boarding facility for the past ten years and had been pretty happy with them for most of that time. Due to a detour, I happened to drive by FurrWoods and saw their sign. So, we scheduled a time to take a tour. Oscar was reactive to the owner and staff and was barking and lunging at them. They knew exactly how to greet him and put him at ease. Within minutes, he was comfortable and leaning in for ear scratches. We took Oscar out to the play yards and put him in one by himself. He immediately went to the fence and happily greeted the other pups in the adjacent yard. The play yards here are repurposed astroturf from a football field, and the surface is immaculate. The previous boarding facility has gravel yards and our previous dog would sometimes eat rocks there or be dirty from digging. There are 3 or 4 different yards so they can group dogs by size or demeanor or age to ensure everyone has a positive playtime. The kennels are also very clean! There are only 28 kennels so it is much more peaceful than at a larger facility. They provide trampoline beds and even have slow feeders if you need them, which Oscar does. They have an online reservation system which helps me keep track of my bookings. You can also sign your dog up for an activity such as individual fetch time or a walk in the woods. We have boarded Oscar at FurrWoods several times over the past few months - sometimes just overnight and for as long as two weeks. He LOVES it there!! When we arrive, he pulls me to the door and wants to go straight out to play! This speaks volumes, as Oscar normally has separation anxiety!! When I pick him up, he is clean, happy, and exhausted. Thank you thank you thank you to Rebecca and her staff for welcoming Oscar into your kennel and your hearts!!

Through our research we found Dianne, who is a breeder of Shih Tzu puppies, and I have to say, she is reputable, knowledgeable and honest. We had met a couple others people prior to Dianne, and we knew she was the right fit for our family immediately. She loves those puppies like they are her own children and our puppy Charlie has the best temperament and personality. We recently took a holiday and brought him back to Puppy Trax for boarding and Charlie had so much fun! You can tell he played all day and was well taken care of. I highly recommended Dianne and Puppy Trax for your boarding needs and if you are looking to add another family member, her Shih Tzus are the best!
