Unleashed Boarding

Wow, awesome, fantastic! That should be all you need to read about Unleashed Boarding.
I take my dog here once, sometimes twice a week for daycare and then board him anytime I go out of town. Laurie and her staff are absolutely wonderful people who take very good care of the dogs at Unleashed. My dog has separation anxiety and has a hard time being away from my husband and I. But we know that he is taken care of when he is at Unleashed, whether it be for daycare or boarding.
The facilities and the property couldn’t be better for dogs. They have ample room to run around and play. You know your dog had a good day when he comes home and eats dinner and then falls asleep on the couch because he is so tired.
All in all, I don’t think I could have found a better place for my pup. Unleashed is definitely the place you can trust to leave your pup while you’re away.

My dogs love this place. If I’m going on vacation, I want them to have a vacation too.

We love Unleashed! Our family includes two weimaraner’s who are very high energy, if you’re unfamiliar with the breed. We send them to daycare at least once a week with Laurie and her fabulous staff. They know when it’s daycare day and they get so excited when we leave the house. Laurie and her staff are very knowledgeable and really passionate about what they do. We’ve also boarded with them and the dogs had a fabulous time and came home very tired! I appreciate that they do not segregate different sized dogs, everyone plays together and it gives my big dogs a chance to socialize with all different breeds and sizes. You will not regret taking your furry friend here for camp or boarding!

I’m sorry but we have to place this review out here. On Monday ⁸⁄₁₇ we received a call that our dogs were missing from this property. They are golden retrievers and apparently they ran off to a blackberry patch regularly to play with each other, as they are sisters from the same litter. On Monday, they did not respond to an employee who called them that is was time to head home. Laurie called us and an alert was placed while we were on the property calling our dogs. One of us was on the property that night calling the dogs for several hours. I need to let it be known that these dogs always respond to us. Yet, they were not found until the next day, 24 hours later, while we were searching the trails outside the property. We were called that the dogs were found while one of us were a few miles off the property searching. We find this situation odd and do not accept that they were on the property all night. They have never avoided us and would have always come when we called. All of this would have been Ok had we have had some service recovery. But! The business owner was not terribly apologetic. We were made to feel guilty about this incident, but feel that Laurie, the owner, was at fault and irresponsible. Our dogs had been going here for seven weeks before this had happened and we never received any indication that there were behavior problems. If it was apparent that our animals were not appropriate for this day care, we never got this feed back and we NEVER received service recovery for what happened here. We are so relieved and happy that we have our dogs back but are distrustful and angry about this incident.

Wonderful staff with lots of space for dogs to roam and run. Dogs are taken on walks every two hours, so a tired dog is almost a guarantee! I boarded my puppy and it was a great experience, will be coming back the next time my pup needs to be boarded!

Haven’t even been there yet, but my Co-​Worker, who I really trust, HIGHLY recommended this place! I will be leaving to go back East in July for my Sister’s Wedding, and I need a place to keep my 2 puppies for 6 days! They’re both rescues, but one was a special case. Rescued from Taiwan, literally days away from being slaughtered and eaten, he was rescued and brought to the states! 36 hours after arriving, he had a loving home. But those 1^st four months left an impact, and he’s pretty skittish around people (except my fiancée and I!) He loves other dogs though, and this place sounds perfect! He’ll have his new little brother there, and lots of other doggies to keep him Company, and a vet/​animal behaviorist to oversee it all! It sounds like the perfect (and only place I’d trust to keep my little guys at, because this will be the 1^st time I’ve ever been away from them! However, they’ll have so much to do, and I have absolutely ZERO apprehension!) I wouldn’t leave him anywhere else! I’m really excited to take them for the first time to meet the staff, and have my little guys meet some of the other puppies, and explore the 25 acres. I’m sure they’ll love it. I wanted to review this place, because this is exactly what I was looking for to board my little guys for a week, and I’m so glad my Co-​Worker told me about it! Thanks «Unleashed Boarding» for doing what you do, and I cannot wait to come meet you all soon!
I’ll make an addition to this post shortly, after I take the pups there for the 1^st time, which will be soon!

Unleashed is THE daycare I have been searching for — no more crowded indoor playrooms for my furkid! My newly adopted 14 mo old Lab is super energetic — she wears out my little dog after an hour so I knew she needed daycare. I checked out a few in the vicinity of home and work (Auburn and Renton) and, prior to finding Unleashed, settled for one that did not work out at all — in six full day sessions my pup only felt confident enough to play inside with one dog for less than 5 minutes — playing outside was not allowed. At Unleashed, within 5 minutes on her very first day, she was off and running with the pack! 25 Acres to race through! Dogs need to RUN and PLAY outside — just like our two-​legged kids. Laurie and Andy are awesome and I am able to go to work knowing my little girl will be exhausted and smiling when I pick her up!

I’d like to highly recommend Unleashed Boarding. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m a male Northwest Farm Terrier who just turned 7 months old. Recently, I resided 5 days and 5 nights at Unleashed. All I did during this time was run, play, and bark with the other guests. If you need a vacation away from your owners, Unleashed is the place for you.

When I went on a 13-​day vacation, my dog went to dog camp. While I played in the woods, I was pretty confident that my dog was having fun too.
I have a dog with a sensitive tummy — she gets diarrhea when she eats any type of poultry — so I packed her kibble, canned food, and pumpkin, her glucosamine treats, fish oil, and bison lung treats along with instructions. The staff at Unleashed Boarding followed the somwhat detailed procedures that I left.
When I picked Penny up, she was exhausted. I think she may have been a little disappointed to leave. She slept so hard the first few days, but now she’ s back to her regular routine. She’s happy and I am happy with Unleashed Boarding.
(I received 10 percent off my bill for boarding her over 10 days.)

We’ve taken our 1 year-​old high energy pit bull here a few times now (for 3 – 10 day stays). She always comes back super tired and super obedient
I can tell that Laurie really cares about each of the dog she boards. I’ve taken my dog other places where they’re less attentive, and she comes back kind of wild. But after Unleashed trips, she’s an angel.
The property is huge, and I always feel good leaving my dog there. I can’t recommend it enough!

I will definitely take my puppy back to Unleashed any time we go away in the future. Our 3 month old had a blast and came back rested, calmer than before, healthy and happy. Laurie was easy to work with and replied to my emails during the week. I was completely stressed out about taking our pup to a downtown kennel, and I felt much better having her stay with a certified dog trainer, in her house.
We live in Seattle so having the reasonable pickup and drop off option was perfect.

Laurie is great. Her place is a little out of the way (not for me, but it would be if you don’t live in or around the East Renton/​Maple Valley/​Covington area), but well worth the drive. I always hated boarding my previous dog at regular kennels when I needed to be out of town. Now I have a very high-​energy golden retriever puppy, and decided to board him with Laurie for a short time last month when I had to go on a business trip. Laurie is very friendly and seems very caring about the animals, and she has a gigantic property where the dogs can run around freely. I can tell my boy had a great time and got plenty of exercise, because he was the calmest I’d ever seen him when we came home! We will definitely be using Laurie’s services again, and I will have confidence that my dog is well cared for.
