I travel a lot with work and I wanted my puppy to be in safe hands as he is very young. I've been booking the Board and Learn service for the last 6 months and now I have transitioned over to Boarding! The services are impeccable! Kerry and her team at Dog Adventures Northwest are fantastic. I have been nothing but impressed by how much they have gone out their way to accommodate my puppy, Milo. Do not hesitate to book any of the services available. I couldn't recommend the team enough! There is consistent communication, putting your mind at ease while you're away traveling!
