Parkyour Pooch Kennel

Park Your Pooch is by far the best kennel in town. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. For example, when my wife and I were getting ready for the birth of our daughter last year, we contacted them to let them know we would need a place to keep our dog while we were in hospital. But without knowing when she would arrive we needed an open slot for our pooch. No problem. They just said bring him in when the time is right and he can stay for a reasonable amount of time… we expected no more than a week. I forgot that they only accept cash or check when I came to pick up or dog but they let me take him anyway and sent me out the door with an invoice. I sent them a nice thank you with my check in the mail. Their hours are customer friendly too. I believe you can pick up your dog any time during normal business hours. That’s a plus!

I’ve left my dog with Park Your Pooch a number of times and have been very happy each time. They treat the dogs well and keep their kennels clean. Very friendly staff, good hours and reasonably priced. My Vet refers here too!

These gals are the best. Smaller kennel = less stress for your pooch. This is the only place where our various dogs, over the last 18 years, have not minded going to the kennel. The dogs get excited to see the ladies. Our dogs are always well taken care of. At other places, our dogs would get nervous when they figured out we were heading to the kennel. Then, when we picked them up, it would be obvious they hadn’t had a drink in ages or had a chance to go pee. We’ve never had any problems at Park Your Pooch. I love this place and the peace of mind from knowing your dogs are happy! I have friends who never use kennels but I know our dogs are safe and won’t escape; that they love the gals; and that they’re getting walks and love every day! And I’m always amazed when they run out of the car and give the gals a kiss when we arrive.

You might wonder why a Boise guy is reviewing a Bend dog boarding place? But let me head anyone off who thinks I don’t know this place as we lived in the Bend area for 12 years and used PYP for at least 10 of those years. We moved about 4 years ago to the Boise area.
Julie, the owner, runs, IMHO, the best dog boarding kennel in the entire area. No, I think in the world. We even have left our dogs with her after we escaped from Bend to the Boise area. Now, that says a lot when someone will drive 5 hours to board their dogs with her when they are going on a trip.
She not only loves dogs, but she knows how to care for them if they get sick or go «off their feed» while staying with her. Her facility is super clean and has a big play area for ball throwing and running. If you want extra play time or walking for your dogs, they are located on a large ranch, so no problem. But it will cost an extra fee for this service. It was worth it to us. Julie also lives on the ranch, so the kennel and dogs are secure.
Julie also will feed your dogs food you bring and she never charged us extra to give them any pills they needed. Our two dogs were boarded together and each had a nice suspension bed. Whenever our dogs stayed there, they had kennel #1 which allowed them to inspect and greet every dog coming or going out.
Our dogs always came out from a stay with her looking clean, happy, and fit. But remember, this is Park Your Pouch, so no cats need apply. On weekends and holidays PYP fills up, so book as far ahead as you can so that your dogs have this nice place to stay at.
