Roscoe’s Ranch

I’m so pleased with the care my dogs receive when they are at Roscoe’s Ranch. I brought in my dogs last month due to a family emergency. The staff were quick to respond to me by email and phone. They pay attention to detail and at the same time treat my dogs like their own. They even remember my dogs sleeping habits and eating issues. My dogs are actually excited and happy at Roscoe’s Ranch, because its truly a home away from home :) they get tons of play time, homemade food, and a bath before pick up. When I bring them home (40 min drive) they are still relaxed… As if this is just their normal routine. Roscoe’s Ranch is definitely worth the drive for peace of mind… Previously I’ve taken my dogs to Seattle dog boarding services out of convenience but my dogs experience a lot of stress, irregular appetites and bowel movements too (sorry but this a must for pet owners to be frank about this). If I can’t book Roscoe’s Ranch, I rather change my travel plans or travel with my dogs.

I can’t say enough about Roscoe’s Ranch and all of the wonderful staff. They are professional, attentive and friendly. Our dogs are always so happy to go there. We love the photos and videos of the dogs playing while staying there.
Specifically, I wanted to thank them for an incident that happened this month:
We had tickets and were scheduled to travel to Hawaii for vacation. Unfortunately, my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer (with mere weeks to live) 6 days before we were to leave.
Roscoe’s Ranch couldn’t have been nicer. They cancelled our reservation and put our deposit toward future reservations. They were wonderful. THANK YOU so much for being human and understanding that issues come up.
Just another reason to love them… Thank you again…

We have been going to Roscoe’s Ranch since it’s first year. Guy, Rena and their amazing staff has never disappointed. Our dog always gets picked up with a smile on his face and NO behavioral issues. I appreciate the fact that they always send photos of our pooch during play time and give us his report card when we pick him up. Roscoe’s is the best!
They are very popular now so my advice is to book sooner than later. I’m on the waiting list for 4 of July weekend when I thought I had enough time to book. I am happy for their success and clientele but am bummed I have to scramble for a back up kennel. This had never happened.
Just another sign that they are excellent!

I am so grateful to have found Roscoe’s Ranch. My dog stayed there for the first time this weekend. I was impressed by the staff, the boarding facilities and the overall experience. From the get go they responded almost immediately to all of my questions and concerns. I wish I had found them years ago. They are simply the best!!!

Our dogs LOVE Roscoe’s Ranch and we do too! They have been there twice, once in a cottage and last time in the barn in a kennel together. I was worried about one of our kids because it was cold outside and she gets cold easy. We took a bunch of their bedding and put a fleece sweater on her. They offered to bring her a heated bed. While we were gone we received great pictures and updates from the awesome people taking care of them. When we ant to pick them up both dogs said a quick HI then pulled back toward the barn. HA! That definitely tells me that they enjoyed their stay. These people go above and beyond to make our dogs comfortable and keep us satisfied. I highly recommend Roscoe’s Ranch to anyone that ever asks about boarding.

I don’t even know how I found Roscoe’s Ranch but it’s seriously the best doggy boarding/​vacation place ever. I couldn’t be happier with the level of service they provide my dog Lily. She always comes home tired and happy. Guy and his staff genuinely love dogs and go out of their way to care for Lily like one of their own. I love their individual kennels and the organized/​supervised play times and they even make food to mix in with kibbles for the picky eaters. :-)
They also update me via email and always promptly answers my emails AND send me pictures of Lily.
Thanks Guy, Rena, Heather and Ashley, you guys are amazing!!! :-)

Whenever I check out a business’ Unilocal reviews that are ALL 5– star reviews, I get suspicious. How is it possible that any business is SO good that everyone rates it a perfect ⁵⁄₅ stars? That just can’t be right, right? Well, in the case of Roscoe’s Ranch, it IS!
My dog is a rescue pooch with a checkered past we aren’t aware of. She had never before been boarded or even spent a night away from us since we got her (5 years ago). She is very bonded to me and is extremely anti-​social with other people and other dogs. Last year, we had a horrible time finding a house/​dog-​sitter for our annual summer family trip. None of the pet-​sitter website services worked for us (we couldn’t put our dog in a home with other dogs or kids, nor could we afford a house-​sitter who’d walk our dog as much as she needs). I heard about Roscoe’s Ranch (RR) from Unilocal,and yet again, Unilocal did not let me down!
Where to begin, why I’m so impressed with RR? They responded to me promptly when I first emailed them with questions. They are totally upfront about their facility, their prices and policies. Heather and Ashley are wonderful and very accessible. They recommended we bring our dog there for a tour, which we did.
The place is charming. Very clean, excellent enclosed yards (one for larger dogs, one for smaller breeds). The kennel stalls are in a picturesque red barn. They only house 20 dogs at a time. I’m not kidding, the kennels were immaculate. The individual kenneled stalls are quite large, with heaters above each one, and a doggie door to the rear of each stall, where the dog can venture outside in their individually fenced outdoor areas. They also have some individual separate «cottages» where you can house a few pets together (these cottages cost more).They will not put ant-​social dogs in the yard with other dogs; instead, they’ll let that dog run in the yard solo, and/​or walk her individually. Lots of one-​on-​one time with each dog. They will administer oral meds to the dogs (no extra charge). They send the owners regular email updates on the dog and, every few days, they email photos. This was a HUGE source of relief to me and my family during our 2-​week vacation recently.
Since our dog had never been boarded, they advised we send her there on a «test night», which was a super idea. Between her tour there and her test night, she didn’t freak out when we dropped her off before we left on our vaca. She was already familiar with the place and Heather and Ashley and her scent was already there. It sure made the drop-​off 1000 times easier.
What can I say? Our dog was in great health and spirits when we picked her up. There were no surprises, no hiccups, everything went so smoothly. I just love this place and wouldn’t hesitate to bring our beloved pet here again!

I first encountered Roscoe’s Ranch when my wife and I wanted to find an alternative to Pet Smart services. We were going to be gone for two weeks getting married, and did not want our dog Chloe spending a majority of her time indoors and in a small cage.
The owners of this ranch have won «best pet sitting in western washington» three years in a row now and it’s easy to see why. They ensure that your dog is mixed with the right dogs so that when they have play time they get along. Their ranch has a massive field where the dogs get two play sessions a day in. Also, they receive some individual time and go on a walk around this trail on the property.
During our honeymoon, when we had cell phone service /​internet connection, they would send out what are called «Pupdates» for you. You’ll receive photos of your dog playing with the other dogs and it reassures you that things are going well.
I was really pleased with the service and we are going to be dropping our dog off this November again when we go on vacation. She deserves a doggie vacation herself, and Roscoe’s Ranch really delivers. I highly recommend this service for those seeking a far better experience for your dollar than a Pet Smart can deliver.

I’ve brought my two dogs (Mesa and Lola) to Roscoe’s the last few times I’ve gone out of town and I couldn’t be happier with the level of service, safety and attention they provide for my pups. Guy (the owner) and his staff provide a very high level of comfort that your dogs are going to be well taken care of while you’re away and the pictures of the outdoor play time serve as proof that the dogs are having fun!
As a side note, I’ve taken them to some of the larger kennels in the area and one thing that stands out is the level of «calmness» of the dogs at Roscoe’s versus some of the other places. When I arrived at Roscoe’s to pick them up, all of the dogs in the barn were quiet and content (and I suspect worn out!). It’s nice knowing they aren’t in a stressful environment with constant barking, whining, etc.

I can’t say enough good things about Roscoe’s Ranch! In the past, I had such challenges finding a good boarding place for my dog because she is shy with new people and can be aggressive with other dogs. That’s no problem for Roscoe’s… they understand that every dog is unique and may need some specialized care. I never worry about her while I’m away, and she comes home having been clearly well cared for. Their facility is top notch, and I really appreciate how good they are at running their business… they are always responsive and organized, making it a no-​hassle experience.

The best boarding facility for dogs that we’ve ever found. Although it is not the most geographically desirable for us, we live in Seattle, We will not hesitate to board our dog there again, especially if it is for longer than a weekend.
During our 1 week away, we received email photos of our dog and the other «guests» while they were having their outdoor play time. In one of the pictures our dog even had a tennis ball in her mouth, she LOVES to play catch, so that made us feel great. In addition, to the outdoor play time the dogs are given two walks on a leash through the wooded area of the property.
This is a well run organization that not only cares about the dogs, but giving great service to the dog’s people.
Thanks Roscoe’s Ranch!

You all know Cady isn’t easy, but she had a great few days here without any stomach trauma or issues. They kept her medication at the ready if she needed it and even gave her a bath! (We can’t even give her a bath at home!)
I know she’s looking forward to her upcoming stay!

Roscoe’s does an excellent job with our not-​so-​easy dog, Calvin. We feel great leaving him in their care. I know he gets some exercise and personal attention from Guy and his staff, and isn’t just stuck in a kennel all day long.
Thank you Roscoe’s!

This is the most excellent of environments for dogs. They are a smaller facility and run it out of their home but this does not take away from the incredible professionalism they exibit at all times.
They have a barn they have converted into 20 personal dog stalls with outdoor runs and personal ceiling mounted space heaters. This is kept immaculate and if you didn’t see the dogs in their stalls, you wouldn’t even realize they were there! Absolutely no odors detected, just a bunch of happy dogs cuddled in their blankies on top of the elevated dog mats. The entire property is fenced in so you don’t ever have to worry about your prized pup wandering off or getting loose.
The dogs are walked twice daily on their private nature trail and have outdoor playtime with other compatible dogs. Meaning this isn’t a free-​for-​all with a pack of dogs being held in check by an untrained teen. They take the safety and happiness of your dog very seriously and ensure if they do have playmates during their visit, they are compatible in size, maturity and temperament. If there are no healthy playmates available, they make up for it with human play interaction.
While we were gone, we recieved email pictures of our Branimir playing and a progress report at the end of his stay. They didn’t mind my checking in and took as much pride in his care as I do and kept me updated along the way. He even got a bath and was dolled up in a bandana when we came to pick him up!
I have one spoiled and doted on pooch and finally I can get away more often now that I know I have such an awesome place for him to go in my absence. Peace of mind-​Priceless! Thanks Guy and the staff at Roscoe’s for giving us future freedom to get out of dodge!
