1. Riitta K.
“We know our dog loves staying here-as soon as Riitta opens the door our dog bolts inside wagging her tail like crazy! We also get lots of pics of having her fun. Riitta is awesome!”
2. Jenny M.
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
3. Brianda M.
“Brianda and her family were wonderful to leave our Moose with. She provided frequent updates and was very reassuring about how she was doing and how much fun her family were having with her. We will be booking with her again for sure!”
4. Joe M.
“Joe is really great with all dogs. Somehow all dogs seem to just listen to him, to which they are rewarded with love and affection. He is always off doing some activity with the dogs, whether it’s taking them swimming, tossing the ball, going for hikes and walks, every day is a good day to be a dog with Joe. My dog always has a smile on her face when she hears “Addie girllllll”. I would feel no worries leaving my little fur child with Joe!”
5. Michael & Leslie H.
“I would recommend Michael & Leslie H. I would certainly use them again. Despite some technical challenges in our communications during my trip they handled every professionally and took great care of my dog”
6. Susan M.
“Susan had our pup over the holidays and we couldn’t have been luckier. She has a nice outdoor area for the pups to play, she was able to do pickup/drop off and was very flexible as we dealt with complications from all the flight delays due to our crazy weather. She shared pictures each day, and was super kind to bring by a bowl that was left behind. Would definitely seek her out again for boarding.”
7. Rebecca W.
“Rebecca took such good care of our pups while we were away. We’d totally board w her again in the future. Loved the daily updates and photos.”
8. Krissy B.
“Second time boarding with Krissy. I am comforted knowing my dog is safe and warm at her house. Thank you, Krissy, for feeding my girl from your supplies when I miscalculated how much food to bring for her by an entire day!🤦♀️”
9. Margaret B.
“Margaret and Michael took the best care of our dog, Penny, in their home for 10 days. It was our first time leaving Penny and they were amazing - extremely responsive from start to finish, made sure to get to know Penny and ask all the right questions in advance, sent daily photo updates, and kept us updated on how she was doing during her stay. Penny came home happy and healthy and it was clear she had a great time at their home. So thankful to have found Margaret and we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
10. Susan & David B.
“David and Susan were great! We felt very comfortable leaving our Golden Retriever Jacksie with them. They took him on daily walks, played fetch with him, and even took him to play in the Pilchuck River. They provided great photos of Jacksie having a good time. We would not hesitate to leave Jacksie in their care again.”
11. Ashlie B.
“Ashlie was a good choice in my area through the Rov.com for boarding my dog. I’m thankful she was willing to help me out by accepting to take care of Buddy during a holiday, she kept me informed as to how Buddy was doing.”
12. Kelsey K.
“Kelsey was INCREDIBLE with my puppers. She was sure to make sure that we had a meet and greet first to ensure that she knew and was a good fit for him before the actual boarding. When I came back to get my dog, they were the best of friends!”
13. Ariana M.
“Ariana is so great with my dog Josie, I feel so at-ease when I go out of town knowing Josie is having a great time playing with other dogs and under Ariana's watch. Also, my Josie is a bit particular (typical cattle-dog antics, slow intros with dogs and humans) and Ariana has been so knowledgeable about how to facilitate all that :)”
14. Nickey R.
“Nickey was great! We have two dogs - one is nervous and one is reactive, so it’s always a bit nerve wracking to leave them, but she watched them both for a week and they looked so cozy and content in every picture she sent. She’s definitely a hall of fame sitter! Can’t wait to use her again, the boys clearly loved their time there.”
15. Austin & Alexa O.
“I was fortunate to find a wonderful caretaker who took excellent care of my furry friend. Not only did they provide regular updates and photos, but also went beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend this caretaker to anyone in need of pet care services. Thank Austin for taking such a great care of my furry friend.”
16. Ashley K.
“Ashley was so amazing! She was flexible, kind, and I know that Max just adores her and her family. She is the only person I will be using moving forward, if I can help it. I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for how well she took care of my best friend!”
17. Julie Anne S.
“Julie Ann was terrific. My two boys came home better trained than when they arrived at her place! Aside from taking good care of our dogs overnight, she shared with me some tips on how to have them walk better on leashes. She was able to accomplish in 5 minutes what I have been working on for 4 years! We will be booking again with her for a longer stay later this summer.”
18. David R.
“We have been so pleased with the level of care David has continuously shown our Aussie! His backyard set up is so ideal, he has put in a lot of effort to make it a great play spot for furry visitors and we look forward to sending our girl over again!!”
19. Karthiga M.
“Booked Karthiga last min to go out of town and she went above and beyond to take care of my 2 dogs. Despite the heavy rain and 20 degrees weather, she took them out for walks and gave them extra attention. She had a lot of patience to handle my dogs with separation anxieties and she sent pictures and videos daily. We were so lucky our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you so much!”
20. Kathy T.
“Our two girls loved staying with Kathy and we were very comfortable with her looking after them! We will definitely have them stay with her again!”
