Gorgeous Selah ranch getaway!

***Ask us about our multiple dog discount!*** The best care....in the beautiful Yakima sunshine! Hello Rover family! We have a fully fenced dog-safe farm with gorgeous views of the Selah valley. Our home features 13 acres for running and play, with fenced 1 acre grassy dog yard. Our dogs are our kids. We love and treat your pup in the same way we do our own. We work from home, so we are with our dogs almost 100% of the time. Flexible drop-off and pick-up times, we will work with your unique situation and find a good solution that works for everyone. I can also transport within reason, rates vary depending on distance. We are lifetime dog owners, past field trial and show experience with hunting dogs. I currently have two friendly pups who are used to socializing and hosting. There are horses on site, but they are stabled separate from the home area. Horse sitting is also a possibility. See our reviews for assurance that your fur baby will be treated well and have a wonderful time! We have many returning guests. Guests are treated as part of the family. They assimilate to our daily routine and recieve cuddles all day. We usually only schedule small amounts of guests to preserve their safety and maintain top quality of care.

It was my first time using Jen . My dog had a fabulous time with Jen and her family!. When I dropped him off my heart was filled with such happiness watching him play with the other dogs there. I will use her again thanks Jen

Jen's place is a ranch wonderland for dogs who like the outdoors. Olive came home happy, but very tired. All good. :)

Jen was a very good '1st time meeting right from the get go'. Huey got to play with her dogs that were actually his own size which was a bonus! Relaxed atmosphere and easy to talk to. Definitely like her country, fenced in area for the dogs to run.
