Don’t Get Run Over by the Busy Season
When the weather changes, the bug for vacations, outside adventures, and other fun trips hit us all. The road is calling and we must go!
Where is Your Next Adventure?
Whether you plan to head to Bend or up to Astoria or down to Gold Beach or on a cross-country trip with the family or on a beautiful Oregon hike, we’ve got your pets covered with a home while you are away. Our indoor/outdoor kennels, outside grassy runs, amazing forest walks, one-on-one personal time, and full-service grooming will be like Summer Camp for your pooch. Or, our cozy cat condos, large playroom, and one-on-one cuddle time will have your kitty excited about a Weekend Retreat.
The only problem is space is often limited and certain months book more quickly than others because everyone else has exploration on their minds too. Many of our regular customers know that planning as far in advance as possible is always the best bet.
