Pet boarding/training in Gig Harbor

“My favorite child Finn (Boston Terrier in pic) loves going to Rosedale Pet Resort! I worry about leaving him with anyone, but Amy eased my worries as soon as I met her. I love getting updates with photos and she is great about responding when I have questions. Finn enjoys meeting new friends and playing, and I am happy to have a clean and tired puppy when I pick him up. Thank you Amy for taking such great care of our puppy!“

“This man is a true professional in his craft. His approach is positive and comprehensive. I originally came to Alex with a large dog that had reactivity issues. My dog had her hackles up, barked and nipped at every stranger she met and I was worried it would develop into worse behaviors later on. On his first visit we introduced him to our dog and, as soon as she saw him, she began barking at him with her hackles up. Alex recognized that she had confidence issues and gave us the right tools to work with her and get her on track and by the end of the first visit she was no longer interested in him being in our home. By the end of the second visit it was clear she had bonded with him. She was excited for him to be there and was even listening to his commands. It is clear that he was very knowledgeable and his approach not only works but is effective. Thank you for everything you have done.“

“The girls always offer exceptional service and care for your furry buddy. We typically get a nail trim but this time we boarded the dogs together for a short stay. They loved it and were worn out from all the play❤“

“Lilah snd Murphy love it here. They are mini Australian Labradoodles! They have stayed up to 18 days and have always loved it. They have also had many “daycare” days. They always run in… the staff is great!! We love the camera access.“

“I just completed the Paws To Connect class on dog anxiety and co-regulation, and I can’t recommend it enough. I walked in hoping to better understand my dog’s anxiety and reactivity, and I left with a completely new perspective — not just on my dog, but on myself.

The class helped me approach my dog’s big feelings with more compassion and clarity instead of frustration. I learned practical tools to support his nervous system and, just as importantly, healthy coping strategies to regulate my own. The focus on co-regulation was incredibly powerful — it shifted the way I show up for my dog every day.

If you have an anxious or reactive dog (or just want to deepen your connection), this class is truly invaluable.“

“Julie was so amazing with our pup Nala and giving us instructions to help Nala succeed in her first doc dive! Highly recommend if you're new to the sport! Thank you Julie!“

“I had a family emergency and did not have time to research all the boarding kennels in the area, but I truly scored when I found Gig Harbor Kennel Groom & Board. They were able to get me in the same day, and the staff was very helpful and caring in assisting me with the details for the dogs' stay. The kennel's facilities were clean and well-maintained, and they offered a variety of services including grooming and playtime. My two dogs had never been to a kennel before, so I was apprehensive about their well-being. I had no reason to be worried, as when I picked up my two dogs a week later, they were happy and smelled great! I will definitely be relying on Gig Harbor Kennel Groom & Board in the future and highly recommend them.“
