Our dogs are both senior black labs and have developed their own individual behavior characteristics. Carol was able to tune in immediately to our dogs at the first meet and greet for evaluation. They were quite glad to see her when she came back for the actual pet sitting period. Carol took good care of our home, brought in the mail and kept everything in order. We will definitely use her service again.

She has an obvious love of cats and I can only assume she also enjoys dogs/other animals. I was particularly pleased with two things: 1. Carol texted multiple photos of our cat and 2. Carol noticed a gas smell in the kitchen and took it upon herself to arrange for the power company to make a visit. They noticed a gas leak in the stove and made sure the gas was turned off to the appliance. Ultimately, Carol was not only a superb cat sitter, she was also a great house sitter! Highly recommended.

I adopted an 8 year old GSP/lab mix in June 2016. When he seemed like he was settling in and…read moreadjusted to living with me, I started to look at daycare/boarding options. This turned out to be a real challenge. My dog is super high-energy and was marked as having behavioral issues, so I started with just short 3 hour stays at doggie daycare. Even at that I was told he gets too grumpy with other dogs and expressed separation anxiety. We worked with a trainer and a behavioralist but still had issues at daycare. It was getting to the point where I didn't think I would be able to leave him, but then I found PNWK. My dog, Nikan, absolutely loves it there. They have huge outdoor runs and all of the staff are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and care. Can't count the number of times I have used their services and boarding, both short- & long-term. And... with no issues! It warms my heart to hear reports such as, "we can put him with any dog, he just loves to play". PNWK is my only choice for doggy daycare and boarding, even though they are an hour drive from home.

I come from the dog world and used to groom and work in kennels, so I knew what I did and did not want when boarding my dogs. I was absolutely blown away by how smart the staff are and how well they handle the different dogs that come in. I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with them because I know they will always take care of them. Apart from how much I love Pacific Northwest Kennels, is how much my dogs love it! They go crazy in the car when we're getting close and sprint in the door excited to see everyone. Was so happy to have found this place because my dogs don't do that with anywhere else. They absolutely love it here!

In a nutshell their "human" customer service skills are terrible. That said, their dog skills may…read morebe excellent - but at the end of the day a human is forking over the $$, so I think we humans count in some minuscule way. After doing a month of research on dog boarding facilities, I settled upon TNT in Abbotsford. That's an hour driving time with traffic but I want the best for my new puppy. The first phone inquiry I made to TNT was polite but harried. Okay, no problem they're busy, I understand. Btw, I spent $320 including taxes for 7 days of boarding plus extra services which included 2 walks a day etc. Not cheap. But that's okay I want the best for my pup. Two days after my puppy was boarded I made a call to check on my puppy to see how she's adapting. The lady on the other end said great but she seemed slightly irritated I was taking up her time and then she rushed me off the phone. Okay..... The second and last time I called was at 10am, (which is their office time), the day before pick up. I asked how my puppy was getting on and wanted to make arrangements for pick up. She was rude and rushed me off the phone once again with a promise to call me back but didn't call back until I called again at 6pm - now I was irritated. I mean, I was calling during office hours which are stated on their website between 8:00am-11am. I received a call at 6pm from someone else to whom I explained my frustration about this rude employee. She said they're busy and that the other employee at the kennel thought I was taking up too much of her time over the phone. What? A less than five minute phone call asking for an update? That's absurd. If that's what 300 bucks gets you... Upon arrival for pick up she told me my puppy received a little extra attention in the office because, well, she's a puppy. I'm grateful for their care of my pooch. If my dog had a great time there, then excellent but I wasn't aware of any of her activities other than the two 10 minute walks/day and the office time upon the arrival for pick up. Was she playing with the other dogs, did she get other socialization time? I don't know because they wouldn't tell me of her activities. Hopefully, she wasn't in a cage for 8 hours a day. I will never know. And that's what I'm not impressed with. The lack of communication skills - with humans - and the way my 2 phone calls were handled. Like I said on my way out, socialization of dogs is important but the socialization of humans is essential. Will not be back.

I opted for the meadow walks which are an additional charge. The location is very scenic and they seemed anxious to make sure Rip had a good stay.

Nice to have a boarding kennel I can feel good about.

I'm SO GLAD we found this place! Kortney was so sweet & accommodating. She was very reassuring but what reassured us the most is the way she loved our dogs like they were her own. I never had to ask for updates because she updated us daily with the cutest photos and videos. I know in her hands our girls were not only safe but having the time of their lives. They were very attentive to the point where my one dog (Roo) who has been boarded before and would stay in a corner watching other dogs play or by her sister only for 2 weeks in other places even began to trust them in one day. Highly recommend and we are definitely boarding them here again :)
