Specialties

Mountain View Dog Ranch is a family owned and run boarding facility for dogs of all types. We take great care to get to know the owners and the dogs so we can customize each experience to individual needs. Our goal is to keep your pups safe and happy. We exercise our guests as much as possible to keep them happy and tired. Tired dogs are GOOD DOGS. They sleep well, are less anxious, and most importantly they don’t bark in their rooms at night which makes for a peaceful stay for everyone. We have a single flat rate of $ 40 per night (discounts for additional pups). Most facilities charge extra fees for walks, play-​time, and medicine. We think this is silly and not fair to the dogs or owners. $ 10 for a 15 minute walk? 15 minutes is not enough exercise for most dogs. If a dog needs 6 hours of intense play we will give it to them. If your canine friend needs special care we will do that to at no extra charge. Perhaps they are sick, on med’s, old, or in recovery… we will take care of them.

History

Established in 2010.

We (Mark and Zuzi) both worked at Microsoft prior to opening Mountain View Dog Ranch. Zuzi is from Europe, so we spent a lot of time traveling back to see her family. This compelled us to find boarding for our 2 labs which ended up in a series of disappointments for us over the years. We tried 7 different boarding providers in the greater Seattle area and either the dogs gained 10lbs (i.e. no exercise), they smelled like urine when picked them up (i.e. dogs were in their room so long they had no choice but to pee where they sleep), or they simply showed anxiety when we brought them back to a facility. We KNEW that we could do a better job caring for «man’s best friend» and we did it. Please come to see our facility, meet us, and we are sure you will feel good about leaving your loved-​one with us.
