Doggy Haven Resort

Fantastic staff and professional results. Clean facilities, they remember me and our dogs. One time the groomer made sure she knew that she has nicked a small skin growth on one of our dogs back. I would not have noticed if she had not pointed it out. It is easy to see how that could accidentally happen and I really appreciated the disclosure. I now know to make sure future groomers are aware of this special spot. Woof! :-)

After an unfortunate incident with a boarder in Snohomish I did a lot of research to find another doggy daycare/​boarding facility that I could trust with my fur baby. With the help of King 5’s Best of Western Washington I found this gem. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it to know that my curious doodle is safe from eating random broken toys in the yard, that he gets to play with other dogs for 9 hrs a day, and that there appears to be enough staff to look over and care for all the dogs. It is always so clean on the grounds and in the lobby and the staff is very professional and prompt. We’ve boarded our dog here several times and try to drop him off at daycare once a week or every two weeks. Their website is easily navigable with pricing and a lot of info. They also offer fair pricing for grooming services and did a good job with our labradoodle. One thing I wish they would do — be more consistent and detailed on the boarding «report card» and have a report for daycare, too. Or pictures. Or a live stream would be awesome!
Based on my experiences, I highly recommend Doggy Haven for daycare, boarding and grooming. I often see a good mix of small and large dogs visitors. Toby always comes home happy, exhausted, and just as healthy as when we dropped him off.

I do training with my puppy here. Their training worked so well we’re back for more. They have an awesome program. My puppy has learned so much and he’s so well behaved, they’re trainers are amazing, so kind and talented, I’ve learned so much about my puppy here. They have been so helpful and I recommend them to all my friends! I will definitely be back for more. My pup will always do training and or boarding here. I trust my pup will always be in good hands.

Duke loves coming here for daycare.
He gets to run around and play with his buddies in a safe and very clean environment.
When I pick him up, he seems happy and tired.
I can definitely tell that he enjoys his time there.

We take our dog Bandit and always request for Debbie for his regular grooming. She is wonderful with him. Every time we take him there every 6 weeks or so, he is always happy and excited to see her. She is great, we highly recommend her. Also, the staff there are very helpful and very nice!

I love this place. I’ve boarded my dog here several times, and he always comes back happier than when I dropped him off. He’s a shy, sensitive dog, too, so I’m especially pleased that the people at Doggy Haven are able to handle him well.
This last boarding experience was outstanding. My dog doesn’t get groomed much (because of the shyness), but when I picked him up, he was all bathed, brushed, and clipped! I’m all sorts of impressed. I’ll always call Doggy Haven first when my dog needs a place to stay.

Debbie has twice groomed our Samoyed, Lucy, and each time she comes home looking great! The staff overall are always kind, making recommendations such as using the correct lead instead of a harness. This should help keep her fluffy hair from getting matted.
The facility is well kept and they offer a lot of services at one location. We discussed some training options as Lucy is young still and they offered some custom tailored options that weren’t included on the website. It’s nice to know they’ll work with us as individuals rather than just another paying customer.
I definitely recommend looking into Doggy Haven for great priced grooming. I honestly can’t speak of the other options they offer… yet.

Doggy Haven is the best. I have taken two of our dogs there over the course of more than ten years and it Is the standard by which I judge all other boarding/​daycare facilities. The people who work there are awesome, the grooming outstanding, the quality of experience for what I pay is dead on and I find the one-​star reviewers experiences on Unilocal completely inconsistent with what I have found at Doggy Haven. I am thrilled to come pick up my dog who is happy, healthy, well cared for and loved by the folks at Doggy Haven. As someone who boards my dog there on a very regular basis, I know what I am talking about!

Great place!!! Our Frenchie Louie loves going to daycare and overnight stays. He always comes home happy and tired. Staff is friendly and always find a way to squeeze us in when needed! Grooming is great too!

I am writing this review for the grooming at Doggy Haven! I originally had came here on a online deal which due to the amazing service, friendliness of the staff, and clenliness of the facility we have became returning customers of this amazing facility!
For price Doggy Haven beat our previous groomers. Which is impressive due to the quality of service that we received! Our mini Aussie couldn’t be happier! Thank you Tasha and her team for an amazing experience!

Debbie does a great job with grooming … my dog looked great and was not stressed at all when I picked her up. And the prices are relatively reasonable. I definitely recommend her!

I can’t review the whole place. When we adopted our new doggie, Lola, the fee from Homward Pets included 4 weeks training here. So, this review is totally for the training. The trainers were excellent. As I knew, and they kept pointing out, this is more about training people than the dog. My only regret is that I don’t have enough money right now to take their next series of training classes. If you need doggie, owner training, I highly reccomend Doggy Haven.

I have 2 huskies and they love it here. It is their home away from home. The staff is great and cares about the furkids

We’ve been taking our 6 yr old female Bluetick Coonhound to Doggy Haven ever since she was a puppy. She absolutely loves it! From the minute we drive into the parking lot she gets excited and wants to get out so she can go play. Once inside she makes a be-​line for the door leading out to the play area. The staff has always been friendly and has treated our dog very well. We have never had any problems or complaints. We have also had our dog groomed there and they do an excellent job. I wouldn’t take my dog to any other place.

Update taken from my husband’s post.
«We have been taking one of our dogs for grooming a few years now and the groomer is awesome (Pat).
We decided since we loved Pat, to take our Alaskan Malamute and German Shepherd cross to their Doggy Daycare. What a mistake. Let me explain: first the „greeting team“ aka girl at front desk, needs to be demoted to Pooper Scooper. Zero customer service skills. Second, they require a probationary day where we drop our dog off for the day to see how he does. We did and end of day to pick him up, I specifically asked if there were any issues, DH’s reply was „nope he was great, just a few issues with dominance but we took care of it“. Forward to the following Tuesday, my wife drops him off at 7 am and around 11 am gets a call from DH, they said he was „too confident“ and was „marking the other dogs“ and „doesn’t fit in here“ Hmmm well we raise our dogs to be confident but respectful and obedient. And I have NEVER seen him mark another dog, mind you we have taken him to MANY off leash parks. He is a very big and tall dog and could have very easily and accidentally „marked“ another dog if they were too close. Our feeling is DH does not want to entertain and exercise our dogs mind and body but rather let him loose in a pen for a free-​for-​all. Warning to all of you, look into the potential dog care facility, they are not created equal and some are only interested in housing your dog for a fee. Oh and FYI we took him to Pet Smart the next day and Pet Smart Doggy Day Camp associate said „he is such an awesome dog, he loved being petted and playing with his new friend Rosie“ and „he also liked chewing on toys and playing fetch“. with the above, you make the call.
UPDATE 02÷09÷13
We took our dog to two different pet day cares today, Bone-​A-​Fide to see if we (my wife and I and our dog) liked it. We also went to Pet Smart which we had a half-​day reservation with. Just to keep this short and sweet and to show once again how obtuse Doggy Haven is, when we arrived at Bone-​A-​Fide, they took our dog into the pack to see how he would do, 15 minutes later someone came on the walkie talkie to ask if we would be willing to trade our dog for theirs because „this dog is awesome!“ then a few minutes later another person came on and asked „if they pass on the first offer, I want second“. These comments reassured us, once again, that Doggy Haven does not know what they are doing and should not be in the business of boarding dogs. Once finished with our appraisal of Bone-​A-​Fide we dropped our dog off at Pet Smart Woodinville, he stayed there from 2:30 PM to 8:00 PM. When we arrived to pick him up we were given a report card which stated (paraphrase) „(he) loved to be around other dogs, well behaved and loved playing with the toys, (we) look forward to (his) next visit, he was just a pleasure to have in camp!“. We were also verbally told, „Please bring him back any time, we love having him here“. Once again we are reassured that DH has no place being in the business they are „supposedly“ in»

Well, my dog gives Doggy Haven 4 stars! Dasa had a super time 2 weeks ago staying at this boarding facility while his mom and dad were in Seattle having their own fun.
The facility itself is large, clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly, helpful and seem like they really enjoy being there with the animals. Dasa got a room with a window so he could look out at the playground and not feel so confined. Music plays all night so the dogs don’t feel alone (which I love!).
Once Dasa was home he slept for about 2 days because he was so worn out. He sure did look cute in his red bandanna they gave him after his bath.
We will be using Doggy Haven in the future for sure!

Our dogs stayed here for the first time last week. As far as i can tell, they had a nice time (I didn’t pick them up so I didn’t get to talk to the staff). 3 stars isn’t bad, it’s very A-​OK. I’m just not crazy about it yet. I plan to bring my dogs back and get to know the staff better.
I got a tour, and the facility is really nice. The dogs get a ton of play time, and I love that. One of my dogs can get very snarky, and the staff kept a close eye on her and there were no problems.
Like I said, i plan to bring my dogs here again and get to know the facility better. I’m like all dog owners, those are my babies!

I’m super neurotic about boarding Mugsy. He *hates* it, and I always worry about him non stop while I’m away. After my second time taking him to Doggy Haven, my worries can finally cease. This place is a palace for dogs! After a weekend away, Mugsy sleeps for 3 – 4 days straight; the little guy is exhausted!
He gets ~12 hours/​day of playtime with pups his size, they bathe him on the last day (which costs less than a regular day’s service), his room has a heated floor, tv/​vcr, a bed and a window overlooking the play yard! Soft music at night helps to relax him, and they even offer nightly massages!
Mugsy loves it here. I don’t mind boarding him when I travel at all, anymore. It’s perfect if you love your dog like a child!

We’ve been taking our dog here for doggy day care, but we recently dropped her off for boarding for a long weekend.
It looks like she had a great time, and Doggy Haven gave us a report card indicating how she did while we were gone.
Still a fantastic place, and our boarding experience just reinforces that.
