The reviewer found the staff to be caring and the dogs seemed happy and comfortable upon pick-up. The pricing for boarding and playtime is stated as being reasonable.
Wonderful!Took our youngest for a trial run and they were very informative. Offered extra options but didn’t “force” them on me. The pricing was very reasonable.We went back and boarded all 3 of our dogs for a long weekend and it was amazing to not have to worry about the pups while we were gone. All three came back happy ?.
I love Country Kennels! The staff are always so friendly and accommodating and have so much patience for my mastiff. I’ve boarded my dogs here many times and they’ve always been communicative and great with both my boys!
I recently chose Country Kennels to board my two dogs, and overall, I'm quite pleased with my experience. One of my two dogs can be kind of neurotic at times, and my previous experiences with Rover were not great, so I wanted to try a professional business this time. I had sent inquiries to two other kennels in the Seattle area, and didn't even get a call back from either of them. Country Kennels on the other hand had an easy online form, and I received an email confirmation from them by the next day (with a request that I forward them my dogs' vaccine records). There was nobody at the front desk when we got there, but I rang the doorbell and after a few minutes someone came to open the door (this is fine, I'd rather the caretakers be with the dogs than at the front desk anyways). On that note, I was never able to reach them on the phone immediately, but they always called back within the hour. The check-in process was simple, and the lady helping us was nice. She let me know they take daily photos during the various playtimes, and post them on Facebook about every other day. We were then given a quick tour of the kennels, and a large dog had escaped his pen! There were multiple doors between each of the dogs, so this probably was not a big deal, but it made me very nervous about leaving my dogs behind. It did not help that all the other dogs were barking a ton and the kennels had a strong smell, and my pups were sooo sad to be left behind. Fortunately, we were running late for our flight - the kennel is a little less than an hour from the airport - so I didn't have enough time to second guess my decision. Side note - I definitely recommend bringing your dog's bed! From the pictures posted online, I thought they provided raised beds, but I don't think that was the case. They do provide blankets and a lot of toys tho. I had mixed feelings about leaving my dogs at Country Kennels, but when I went to pick them up, I could instantly tell they had a good time. They were totally at ease and comfortable with the caretakers (which is saying a LOT for my older dog!). On top of that, they smelled great and were suuuper fluffy and soft! My older dog is very particular about being touched by strangers, so the fact that they were able to give him a bath means they had spent time getting him comfortable beforehand. The prices were also very reasonable - they charge between $32-36 per dog per day depending on size (there is a small discount for multiple dogs), and then offer $6 per playtime (10-15 min for one on one, and 1-2 hours for group playtimes). They also offer baths on pickup day (which I highly recommend since the kennels do kind of smell). Not including the tip, for two dogs it ended up being about $490 for 5 days of boarding and playtimes, including baths for each of them. TLDR: Country Kennels had its imperfections, but the genuine care and well-being of my dogs by the end of their stay won me over. I will definitely be considering them for future boarding needs!
