Bad to the Bone is a newly opened boarding and grooming facility in the Leavenworth area! Our dogs…read morejust came home from a four night stay and we had a wonderful experience. Bad to the Bone was incredibly accommodating of our boy's needs and allow you to bring food, toys, etc. that will help your dog feel more at home. I am always a little nervous about leaving my dogs, but I was immediately put at ease when they ran through their questionnaire at drop off. Based on the questions they were asking about my dog's personalities, typical behaviors, routine, etc., I could tell they make sure every dog has as relaxing a stay as possible while away from home. They made sure both my boys were in kennels next to each other, and gave them potty breaks together so they could spend time with one another. They even got a free bath for staying more than 3 nights, and it was so nice to take them home clean! The facility is newly built and is nice, clean, and well cared for. The owners and staff obviously care about the dogs and giving pets a positive experience. My boys even came home with a report card, complete with a picture, with notes about their visit. I'm really glad we have this business in Leavenworth and I'll be a returning customer.

I rarely board my dogs, but my family & I were going out of town for five days and I foolishly…read moreforgot that it happened to be spring break. The place I'd used in the past was completely booked, and I started freaking out...until I called Deb's. Yes she had room for them, and yes, she'd love to have them. I actually spoke with her on the phone for 45 minutes and got a feel for the kind of person I was dealing with; a confident, competent expert who has a passion for animals. I dropped my boys off on the morning we left. I was nervous as all get out bc these two are absolute knuckleheads. They're very quirky dogs & the purebred can be extremely stand-offish. He generally trusts nobody except his family and their closest friends. He's a working dog, and his main job is protecting us, so I didn't know what to expect. Everything went very smoothly during drop off. The facility was nice & clean, staff was more than courteous, and there were quite a few dogs outside in the large play area. The dogs all seemed happy & well cared for. Deb came in and after meeting, she took full control & whisked my boys off. I discussed feeding & meds with the gentleman at the front counter, and off I went. I called to check on my dogs & the phone was answered immediately. Everything was great, they were spending equal amounts of time playing outside & relaxing. No issues. I was quite comfortable after speaking with the staff. They were in good hands. When we returned I was eager to pick up my knuckleheads. I arrived a bit after my scheduled 2pm appointment, but it definitely didn't seem to be an issue. Their things were in the waiting room packed up & ready to go. Then came the ultimate test; I'd be able to tell exactly how things went based on my older boys demeanor. We had a bad experience with another well known local kennel & there was no mistaking that he'd been treated poorly. Also he has always been apprehensive and just "out of it" for 2-3 days after boarding. None of that. Both dogs were happy as could be. They were bright eyed & bushy tailed! Ready to go home for sure, but super content. They were clean, well fed & rested. They even got baths before I picked them up. I don't even know how anyone got warmed up enough to my Heeler in such a short amount of time to actually give him a bath, but kudos!! Short version: Deb's Riverview Kennels is a great choice if you're looking to board your pets. In the past I've completely avoided boarding bc it just never worked out. Now that has changed & I'm thrilled that I have a place to "babysit" my boys. I'll definitely return, and I'll also refer them without hesitation. If they can please the knuckleheads, they can please me! Thank you Deb & staff!!

She was responsive to my last-minute request and happy to meet with me beforehand so I could introduce her to my dog. It was really nice knowing that my dog was staying at someone's home rather than a kennel, and it put me at ease to see how much fun she was having at the dog park and in the backyard when I saw the pictures she posted. My dog came back tired and happy. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely board my dog with Melissa next time I'm out of town!
