About Us:

We were founded in 2010, realizing that the most important thing that we can do for our furry loved ones is consider their physcology, that being said we allow the dogs under our care to socialize in 1 of our 9 different play areas in play groups that mimic packs. The dogs under our care have success because we tailor their groups based on their size, speed and temperament. This mitigates issues, ensures that guests are happy, social and enjoying their time while they are with us. Daycare is a great foundation for social success, learning from other dogs what is good and bad behaviors, reducing boredom behaviors at home by allowing your dog to exercise and get tired before coming home tired and happy!

Our boarding is made to mimic a den atmosphere which cuts out outside stressors that may happen in other boarding settings. This makes for a home away from home for your furry loved ones while they have their petcation with us.

Our cat lodging is not a communal play setting due to the fact that cats are not as social as dogs are. We do it this way to mitigate stress, cats scratching each other, eating each other food and so forth. They have full private lodging that is next to other cats that are staying, but not communal.

We are a family here at Northwest Pet Resort and if you feel like this would be a good fit for you, we would love to welcome you into our Northwest Pet Resort Family!

Thank you!
