I’ve heard amazing things about this place!! My aunt’s tiny poodle, Jules, goes here. Love play group; highlight of his week. She forwards me the photo updates of all the dogs having a wonderful time, and Kelly is Jules’s “other mother.”

Our dog Milo absolutely loves going to Kelly’s house when we go on vacation or out of town when Milo can’t come. He doesn’t even say goodbye when we drop him off at her house. He has friends there and freaks out when we get close. It’s like he’s going to summer camp and when he comes home, he sleeps. She even sends you pictures daily when you’re gone. I can’t imagine it any other way. My wife and I are very fortunate to have Kelly in our lives for Milo 😁.

We were recommended Animal House PNW last year by a friend. We could not be happier! Kelly has helped us so much with training our two rescue pups. Both dogs are highly reactive and needed proper leash training and socialization. Kelly has been there every step of the way—assisting not just them, but us as well. We’ve also utilized the weekly playgroups which have been a godsend. Our pups come home happy and oh-so worn out. Based on our experiences, we would highly recommend Animal House PNW to anyone looking for a dog trainer, boarder, or dog-parent coach. We consider Kelly part of our family now and trust her implicitly with our four-legged kids.
We have a Doberman who is a big sweetheart, but such a ruckus! Kelly has dramatically improved both the quality of our puppy’s life and our own.
Lovely yard for dogs to play in while away from home
