I have been taking my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Pippin, to Big Valley Pet Resort since he was…read more5 or 6 months old. I had a golden retriever before him, and I have never had as amazing an experience at a dog daycare, boarding, grooming, etc place as Big Valley. It is evident the staff absolutely love animals and put such care and dedication into ensuring every dog, cat, etc is not only safe, but having the bestest of times. I'm moving to the Boston area, and one of things that makes it hardest to leave Poulsbo is that Pippin is parting ways with one of his favorite places in the world. I'll forever and ever be grateful for everyone at Big Valley. I broke my leg a few summers ago and they were SO accommodating for me and Pippin, it melted my heart. Keri, Winter, Emma, Tapanga, Dayna, Nicole, Emily, Sarah, Hailey, Ava, Grace, Cal, Dylan, Megan, Keeley, Gideon, Meadow, and anyone else I missed - thank you all SO MUCH for being the best extended family for Pippin. You'll forever be part of Pippin's pack, along with all of his other furry buddies there. We love y'all, and honestly I'd recommend Big Valley Pet Resort over any other place I've been (even non pet related). They are the best, and I just hope Pippin's new place in Boston is at least almost as good :). Forever in our hearts.

After we boarded our dogs here for 20 years, they suddenly required a meet and greet after our dog…read morehad already boarded there. The meet and greet is a real hassle. First you have to bring your dog in for a daytime stay, then you have to come back for an overnight stay. And the meet and greet is good for only one year, so you have to come back and do it all over again for the same dog, which is absurd.

When we get home, we can tell Pico has had a great day because he is normally pooped from playing all day with all his friends and is too tired to go to the dog park. Aside from my dog's five paw rating for Taylor, it's also great to see Taylor's enthusiasm and care for all the dogs. I appreciate Taylor's prices as well and he is very accommodating to fit our always changing schedule. I've recommended many friends with fur babies who love to play with other dogs to use Taylor and your dog will have a blast too!

Taylor is great!

The facility has a big outdoor area, including an outdoor chihuahua sun deck ;), and a little boarding room that is super clean. My guy appreciates the ability to roam between both areas during the day.

Wow! This place is beautiful!! We were very excited when we heard about this new kitty boarding…read morefacility in Sammamish. The facility is absolutely stunning with an open concept design so you can see all of the cats & where they are at any given time. The suites are huge & have custom built in cat trees with other fancy amenities & full yard views of the wooded and pristinely manicured gardens. The inn keeper Amy is at the facility 24/7 monitoring and snuggling the cats. We met the owner who is clearly a feline finattic and has poured her heart into designing the perfect feline experience. She even has special air circulation to help keep the cats calm & content. This place is adorable with all the amenities you could ever want for your kitty, it seriously looks like a spa for humans inside, we look forward to visiting again soon!

They also have an Instagram page that they keep regular updates on so you can check on your kitty while you are away! There have been times at other places for shorter durations of stay where my cat had not been the same for a few days after coming home. At the Cheshire Inn, I felt like my cat didn't want to leave! I was very happy to see my cat healthy and happy when he returned home. I highly recommend this place.

2 out of the 4 times we have used Bark Park Inn, our dog has come out with an injury. Both resulted…read morein vet bills total over 2k. 1st was a really bad limp from hurt paw. We didn't think much of it. Stuff happens. 2nd was the worst ear infection I have ever seen. Clearly bloody outside and inside his ear. He was crazy scratching. Neither of these visits did we get a call from them letting us know so we could take action earlier. Our dog was clearly not walked or looked after on either of these visits. Unfortunately we will not be returning, and I recommend that you try another place first.

My dogs came home from Bark Park Inn after a one week stay…read more Usually playful, they were lethargic and unresponsive. My smaller dog had a curvature in his back indicating he had been kept in a crate or kennel that was too small for him, according to my vet. My larger dog had a raging infection, temp of 104 (101 is normal), very high white blood cell count, would not eat...He had to be put in antibiotics. I don't know what happened to my dogs at this place, but it was not good. I would actually say I would give them no stars. My larger dog was so bad that we were talking about euthanasia.

I started training with Mari around January, and now, about four months in, the progress I've seen…read morewith my dog Mila (a German Shepherd mix) has been incredible. Mari places such a strong emphasis on building a real relationship with your dog--understanding their mindset and behavior, not just focusing on commands. Thanks to her approach, Mila's confidence has grown, her reactivity has improved significantly, and our obedience foundation is now solid. What I really appreciate is that Mari takes the time to explain the why behind everything she does. She doesn't just train your dog--she teaches you how to be a better handler. Mari also takes the time to truly understand your goals with your dog. Even at our initial consult I was so surprised at how good of a read she was able to get of Mila! When I first got Mila, I used to cry during walks out of frustration. She would drag me down the street and react to every dog or person we passed. After going through group classes and working with two different private trainers, I started to believe that leash training (let alone solid obedience) was just out of reach for us. But since working with Mari, we've not only conquered those basic goals--we're now working toward getting Mila off-leash! And trust me, Mila is not an easy dog to train. Mari and I started with private lessons, and was able to take Mila for quick 2 week board and train while I was out on travel. Mari provided me daily updates on Mila, pictures and videos everyday, and most importantly, followed Mila's pace to learn throughout the board and train. Mila absolutely LOVES Mari! I would recommend Mari to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog--whether you're working through reactivity, confidence issues, or just want to build a stronger foundation. Mila and I will continue training with Mari until we hit that off-leash goal, and when I eventually get a new puppy, I already know who my trainer will be!
