The best place on Earth to leave your pet! We recently left our 8 1/2 year-old golden retriever at the pet ranch for 3 weeks. Because Sunny is super shy around other dogs and because of past experiences picking up a depressed dog at another local kennel, we knew we needed to make a change. We discussed our concerns with Kelli, the pet ranch owner, and she encouraged us to bring Sunny for a couple of day visits in advance of our trip so that Sunny could become comfortable with them and so that they could get to know her. Quite obviously, Kelli knows a lot about how to work with dogs. Before and after each day visit, she would discuss at length how Sunny had done. From one time to the next, Kelli had a knack for remembering every detail or concern we brought up. We were confident when we left Sunny for our trip that she would be well cared for, but we still didn't know if she would be depressed at our absence. The first night, in her pet suite, Sunny barked non-stop. After allowing some time for her to settle down, the barking never abated, so in the middle of the night, Kelli went out to the ranch building and brought Sunny in to the house. For the duration of her time there, Sunny slept next to Kelli's bed in the master bedroom of the house! We feel their ability and willingness to adjust to our dog's quirks was exceptional. Loved by the whole family, Sunny even allowed the sons' Pomeranian to lick her face (!), and we picked up a happy dog. Sunny has always been good with people and very attached to us, but not so good with other dogs. Not only did they care for her and keep her happy, but we feel they improved her life by giving her the confidence to be with other dogs. The facility is immaculate and cheerful, with a big split t.v. screen to monitor pets' activities in different areas of the facility. Professionally run, with care and love. A family business, so there is no staff turnover. Dogs are grouped on the basis of their personality, not on the basis of their size. We intend to take Sunny back between trips for day visits so she can visit Kelli, the family, and her new dog friends. It is impossible to imagine any place better for pets than this one. We give the pet ranch the highest rating possible. read more

Dungeness Ranch is a home away from home for my bernese mountain dog. He has been attending daycare for over two years and has boarded here also. I trust Kelli and Jeff along with all their boys because my dog NEVER wants to leave them when I pick him up. It is Disneyland for dogs. I know that in an emergency I can call Kelli and she has always been there for me and my dog. My yard was overtaken by a swarm of bees last summer and I couldn't let my dog outside until a bee wrangler came to capture the hive. I called Dungeness Ranch and Kelli immediately welcomed my dog in and he stayed for three nights. It saved our bee-hinds, literally. This is only one example of how they have helped me over the years. There are too many times to count and share in this review. I don't know what I would have done without Kelli and her entire family. I am so grateful to them for their care,concern and genuine love for my dog. I agree with the review that 5 stars is not nearly enough. Every beloved pet that enters the front door of Dungeness Ranch becomes part of an amazing family. How blessed we all are to have them here in Sequim. Danielle M read more

We have used the Dungeness Ranch for the past 12+ years. They have cared for our older dogs and young puppy, all with gentleness, love and compassion. The dogs love to go to the "ranch". No matter the weather our pets always come home clean and groomed. The dogs play together without any rancor. We are getting older and the day program has helped our 4 year old lose unwanted weight and become more spry. The security at the "ranch" adds an extra sense of well being when we have left out dogs. Communication with the Dungeness Pet ranch has always been prompt with emails and/or voice messages. We have changed plans so the dogs can go to the ranch. Great job. read more

Our lab Abe comes for day care every week, he looks forward to "his special day" and is like a bolt of lightning to get into the resort the minute we pull in! He comes home tired and happy! Our slightly divaish bulldog Delilah has also started visiting the ranch. She has a hard time warming up to new people due to eye issues but Kelli and Co. took the time to let her get to know them and she had a wonderful time! We are leaving them on their first overnight trip next weekend and there isn't a doubt in my mind that not only will they be well cared for but loved on like they were at home! This place is amazing! read more

This is the best care given next to my Mom & Dad at home! I love going to the "ranch" every Wednesday and Friday and taking over the top of the rock position that has become MINE! All of the friends I've met at the ranch are fun to play with and nap with and I couldn't ask for more love and care (unless I was at home)! Kelly and the guys are the best and are my extended family. I highly recommend Dungeness Ranch Pet Resort. p.s. Watch me on the small dog video....I'm the black and white dog "begging"!

Have been using Dungeness Ranch for the last five or six years to board our African Gray parrot and, until recent health issues, our cat, which now goes to the vet for monitoring and meds. Dungeness Ranch doesn't advertise bird care but they do offer it, at least on a limited basis, and it has worked out very well. Parrots require special care and attention and a willingness to put up with the many and varied personalities of each individual bird. Kelli and family do a great job. read more

This place is fantastic! The people who work here are courteous and obviously care about all of the animals in their care. The ENERGY at this place is amazing! I have checked out other places in the area and they are dull and the people working there are lazy. My dog loves this place and I bring her to daycare two days per week! Anyone who has been to this place would know immediately they ARE THE BEST! I highly recommend Dungeness Ranch to anyone who loves their pet! read more

My problem is that 5 stars are not nearly enough! Kelly and her family treat all the pets they care for as if they were members of Kelly's own family. They recognize and respect the unique personalities of every little customer, pets and owners alike. We gladly add 7 extra hours to our trip in order to bring our pets to the Dungeness Pet Ranch, driving all the way from Bellingham, and feel lucky to do it. read more

This is the most professionally operated pet resort we have ever come across. They are absolutely wonderful to our Bruno and all his dog friends. We have found them to care for our dog as if he was their own, how refreshing. We would recommend them to any owner who owns a dog regardless of size. Our Bruno plays so hard and is so well taken care of, we have no complaints. read more

We have two, wonderful, rescued Golden mixes. Their very most favorite place for boarding and play days is Dungeness Ranch Pet Resort! Their grooming is state-of-the-art! How 14-year-old Buster TomTom can't stop smiling when he comes home from Ranch play days. They also take fantastic care of our rescue foster dogs. This is the best kennel ever!!! read more
