Hobodog Haven Cage Free Dog Boarding

Our chocolate lab loves it here! We take him to daycare weekly, and he’s always extremely excited to go to "school." Our pooch comes home tired (but contented) after romping with his pals and roaming the yard. We also feel very comfortable boarding him for extended periods of time, and the owners were very accommodating when we needed to travel out of state for a family emergency. The owners know all the dogs’ individual personalities, and they care for them like their own. They genuinely love dogs and I appreciate their practical, common-sense, and cage-free approach. I’m very grateful to Hobo Dog Haven for being our dog’s home away from home!

This place is amazing! Very reasonable rates for both daycare and boarding! Our dog started going here when she was old enough to play with other dogs.. We have had very little behavior issues because she is able to get her puppy energy out! I always thought it pretentious to take the dog to daycare, but it helps immensely for bigger dogs and getting that energy out...This I strongly believe has made easier training and cutting out bad behaviors due to boredom...

We left a Dutch Shepherd and 14 yr old Shepherd Doberman here for a weekend. They clearly had a wonderful time playing with other dogs and were so happy . They were looked after with great care. There was plenty of shade and AC. I recommend this place, and owners of dogs can be assured of capable care and special instructions from the dog owners followed carefully by the Hobo Kennel owners.

My 8 year old German Shepherd, Emma, has had some incidences of fear aggression with other dogs in the past, so I was very nervous about leaving her here. We did a half-day trial, and Betsy introduced her to the other dogs slowly. Emma did great. Betsy was sure she would be fine, so we left her for five days while we were away. When we got back, Emma was relaxed, happy and hanging out with the other dogs like it was the most normal thing in the world! I was amazed. Last week we took her to a dog park where there were 11 other dogs, and she greeted them easily with a wagging tail. It's like I have a different dog. I am so pleased. Betsy at Hobo Dog Haven understands dog behavior and can read their body language. I trust her judgment. This was a very positive experience, and we will definitely use Hobo Dog Haven again. It's so much less stressful than a kennel for anxious dogs.

This place should be named Hobodog Heaven. I originally brought my dog here for week-day dog care, but I have begun to use them for weekends and overnight if we are on a trip where the dog can't go. Our dog Shadow is a member of our family and truly spoiled at home. She receives the same care and attention at Hobodog Haven, the same as if she were with us. So the lawn (field) isn't mowed; so the maintenance is not on par with a sub-division looking home. Your dog DOESN'T CARE. All she really needs is a friendly caretaker, a place to play and romp with the other dogs, meals, and a cozy place to crash after play-time. She gets that and more. The owners Doug & Betsy care about your pet; they are in-tune with how they feel that day and watch over them all as if they were their own. Slightly shabby chic? Trust me, your dog doesn't care, and neither will you if you try them out. Prices are more than fair - about half what I paid in Puyallup. If you want sterile dog kennels and higher prices there are plenty of places to take your dog. If you want a happy, tired, well cared for dog upon your return, go to Hobodog.

My dog loves this place. She gets to play, run in & out, sleep where she wants, and gets plenty of attention. Owner Betsy even let her sleep on the bed one day because the dog seemed "a little tired". Just like home to her. Forget the negative reviews. The price is the best you will find, the care is top-notch and my dog is not in a kennel. Plenty of places like that around that are sterile and impersonal, very few like Hobodog Haven.

We boarded our dog, Eli, for a couple of days. They took great care of him despite him being nervous. It is obvious that they love dogs! They commented on a couple of mannerisms of my pom. It shows an attention to detail and love of animals. We will definitely be using them in the future! Thanks again for taking good care of Eli!
