Pet boarding/training near Des Moines

“I am an experienced dog owner with mutt breeds ranging from shepherd, rotti, pit, heeler mixes. When I rescued/ adopted a Cane Corso.(mutt puppy) I knew I had to do right by her and myself. I needed proper guidance with her breed. I gained confidence in handling her. I also had my Staffy in training here too. The biggest compliment anyone can say about your dogs is: wow they are so well trained! Yes they are. I worked very hard at it and thanks to NW dog training. I can brag that I have a 2 beautifully well trained dogs.“

“I am updating my review a year later because I just have to share that I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Our pup got sick during our recent vacation and the staff at this location was so thoughtful and thorough. Each time she had a vomiting incident they immediately took her temperature, checked her gums and belly, and sent us a picture with detailed information about what happened and discussed their care plan with us. They adjusted her activities and diet to be sensitive to her needs and went above and beyond to care for our girl, without charging us an extra dime. The manager even stayed late to meet us when we flew home early to talk through what had happened and recommendations for continued care, and also requested info from our vet in the future so they can keep their records up to date. It was such an immense relief to know our girl was in their care while we were so far away. Do not hesitate to trust your beloved pet family members with the staff here, they are exceptional!

Previous Review: I cannot say enough good things about Rainier Dog Resort & Spa. We just picked our dog up from her evaluation appointment and have had an absolutely perfect experience. We’ve had a negative boarding experience in the past so wanted to do an eval with a new place before planning a trip and I am so grateful we found this place. The photos they share throughout the day put your mind at ease, their set up and schedule is thoughtful and focused on dog well-being and needs, and they think of every little detail. Our dog is basically our kiddo and I feel so much relief to have found such an amazing team of people who really love dogs and treated our pup with such care! It was so great we’re considering taking our pup in for daycare in addition to boarding because of their awesome group play and enrichment programs. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!“

“The Renton veterinary Hospital has been a wonderful place to take my iPad that Dr Singh is a great doctor. I’ll always take my pets there..“

“Super efficient, friendly service! Constantly sending updates and pictures of my pups!“

“Crestwood cares about your pets (fur baby's) almost as much as you do. We have been a client for a long long time ( 30+ ) years.“

“Honestly the best clinic we’ve ever been to, Clyde and I are so eternally grateful for this amazing team of humans! They always fit us in last minute, are super considerate of financial situations, and super caring. We love Auburn Valley Animal Clinic ❤️“

“Excellent trainers and facility. We've seen such a huge difference in our puppy based on the tools we've been taught and how to read our dogs behavior. Very highly recommend them!“

“Great drs and staff!! Our Barry Sanders gets so excited when he knows he is going to see his favorite vet techs.“

“Elizabeth did a great job sitting for my cat Oliver. He is a pixie-bob and can be a handful at times. She did a great job for me. I would highly recommend her.“

“I highly recommend the Tukwila Petsmart pets hotel! Our babies absolutely love staying there and the staff love them! The staff, including Krystal is very kind and friendly to them. They take good care of them. One of our babies takes medication for some medical issues and the staff administers it properly. We have been using this pets hotel for boarding since 2021.

The check in process can be a bit hectic sometimes but they do take good care of them. They have been many times, and we never have had issues. They always get their baths at the end and they love getting their baths at the salon and then coming home. If you leave your babies here, you can trust that they will be well taken care of, and that’s coming from picky pet parents. :)“

“I would recommend NWSAM to anyone seriously interested in animal care through body work. The instructors, online and in person, have years of knowledge they pass on through each course. Although I am new to the massage field, I have confidence and mentorship because of this school. Every resource you can imagine is available to you. I will be continuing in my studies here. Thank you NWSAM team!“

“I normally get the upgraded grooming package for my dog Milo. He loves going here and the groomers love to see him. I like how you can earn rewards points towards a free groom. One thing to watch out for is they do not always contact the right number for pick up that you give them. Multiple times they have called me while working to tell me he is ready for pick up when they were supposed to call my boyfriend for pick up. Other than that they do a great job and Milo always comes home happy and smelling amazing!“

“My doggo loves it here. Awesome staff who truly are dog people. Definitely trust them with my little guy.“

“Very solid training programs. Some of the trainers are very good. The teen play sessions are particularly helpful.“

“A great place to leave your dog. The owner takes compassion with each and every dog. He knows and loves dogs. The dogs have a safe and fun place to stay. By far one of the best places to board your dog. You can leave your dog there and know your favorite friend, (your dog) is going to have a good stay. I highly recommend this place and have to many.“

“Anyone can reference dog training on the internet and with a little patience and a couple of weeks teach most dogs to sit and lie down. Ashley will ALSO instruct how to understand why your animal’s behavior is contrary to what you would like to see thus making you a happier animal owner! Ashley is our “dog whisper”!“
