I LOVED that when I called, they always remembered Piglet and said how excited they were to see her again. They were so flexible and compassionate with me when I unexpectedly had to drop Piglet off for an undetermined amount of time due to a tragic death in the family during the pandemic. During the week or so Piglet was there, they went absolutely above and beyond to make an already emotional and stressful time that much easier and never made any of our calls or texts feel transactional-- I always felt like they genuinely cared and Piglet was being well-loved. Unfortunately, I've since moved out of state and have to use another local boarder. Willamette Valley Dog & Cat Motel sets the bar high and nothing quite compares to these guys. We miss you!

Rachel and her staff have worked with so much care and dedication in the last three months to help us help Bandit with these issues. We still have a ways to go. Rachel has researched ways to help Bandit that are above and beyond our expectations, and she made time to communicate with our Veterinarian. Opportunity Barks has been so positive and supportive to us. The daycare and kennel facilities at Opportunity Barks are fantastic. Rachel's private trainings include videos of the work we have done and have really helped us bring Bandit a long ways in a short amount of time.

He has been an only dog for 4 years now and while good with other dogs at the park, he wasn't social with them and preferred people. I decided to try doggie daycare. He wasn't thrilled at first, whining a lot and not social. The staff worked hard at trying to make it work for him and he got to where he was good for full days. They kept at it and found ways to redirect his anxiety and I was able to leave him for 5 days boarding while on a trip. He learned to play with others and settled in wonderfully. He used to hesitate when I left him, now he runs in excited and barking and doesn't look back! The facility is well organized, clean and comfortable, full of activities with ideal conditions for any dog. The staff is kind, caring, knowledgeable and proficient in dog training. Whether you're looking for quality, constructive play time for your dog, have a dog that needs socializing or training, I cannot recommend Opportunity Barks enough!

Piper does more than just bathe her--she carefully removes the knots that form in the longer parts of her fur, thoroughly cleans her ears, clips her nails, and trims the hair over and between her toes and pads. Piper listens closely to our requests and consistently delivers excellent results. It is pricier than the pet stores but worth it. If you don't wish to pay for a groomer, you can always use their facilities to bathe and groom your dog yourself as the place has two separate areas for DIY grooming and then Piper and her crew.

All the pups are vetted before being admitted, so we've never had to worry about aggression from other dogs. And they're super attentive, even calling me at work once when they spotted a small wound that I didn't notice that morning (she got it hiking through brush with her dad the previous evening; it was minor, but I so appreciated their concern). Most of all, Schatzi loves it there. She gets so excited when I tell her it's time to go to "school." I don't think you could find a kinder, cleaner, safer place to bring your fur kid.

I've been thinking about writing this review for a long time. I brought my 2 dogs into CB over a…read moreyear ago. The staff were very friendly but ultimately they lost our business and here's why: My older dog had a hard time there. He's nervous. At pickup we were told he actually bit the handler, because he tried to escape the kennel and he grabbed him suddenly. He reassured me that "dogs bite for a reason" - which is true. I actually felt bad about the injury and we didn't take him back. One staff member said he could return, but the staff member who was bitten implied that he probably will never acclimate to them. My other dog is social and confident. She returned a couple times for doggy play dates. I liked her having somewhere to be and something to do while I worked. However, CB requires you bring your dog at least once a week for them to be able to socialize with the dog groups. This is financially problematic for me. I could probably do every other week, but that wasn't sufficient for them. They know the dogs temperaments and they're all familiar with each other, so the weekly requirement is such a price gouge. Without those weekly visits, she'd be confined to one on one play with the humans only. That sucks. The real final problem for me was a social media post I saw, almost a year ago. They posted a dog recipe for something that included garlic. Garlic is apparently a controversial topic. I responded to their story that garlic is toxic to dogs. See the photo along with this review. They responded that garlic is ok in small amounts, despite the known toxin. This was bewildering to me. Why would you post anything that could potentially harm a dog? What if the recipe is wrong? What if a dog is more sensitive than others? The logic here is "toxins in small amounts are ok" and I cannot get behind a place that thinks that. I'm leaving my dog in their care. What else might be ok in small amounts? A little bit of mishandling is ok? A little bit of other toxins? As long as they survive it's ok? Where is the line? The mistrust here tipped the scale to never returning.
