Adorable Pet Lodge

We have brought our 60 lbs ridgeback/​hound mix here 2 – 3 times. Each experience is better than the last! They are affordable, well-​organized, and clean. Our pooch is a rescue, not crate trained, and she can be very anxious and stubborn. These ladies are so gentle and kind with her. Thank you for a safe and convenient place to bring our girl!

DON’T BRING YOUR DOG HERE!
RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN!
Can I put a zero star? It took almost 3 week for my dog to get back to normal. My animals are very well adjusted, but never have I seen behavior like this. When I pick him up he was whimpering and crying. I couldn’t get him in the carrier in the car. He was holding on to me for dear life. He smelled like urine, stale, strong dirty stale urine. I wrapped him in a emergency blanket driving home on my lap. He was hiding his face under my arm all the way home. I walked in and filled the bathtub and he jumped in for the first time ever. He couldn’t stand the smell either.
I don’t know what happen in 2 days there. I never will know. But it took 3 weeks for him to return to normal. Every time I was getting ready to leave the house he would run and hide. He used to love going places, but after 2 days here he was running for the hills.
I have left him plenty of times with different people/​places and he has always been happy, and full of energy. But, 2 days here and my boy was heart broken. I have learned something long ago.. Dogs don’t lie. They just want to make you happy, and if they don’t like someone their probably right.
Never again.
I carry a lot of guilt for this one. A lot of tears shed for not checking out this better.
20 years experience? They are lying, something is not right here. .
Oh, and when I asked why he smelled like urine, they said that’s what he smelled like when we got him. Although when they asked me the day I dropped him off if I wanted him bathed I told them that he was just groomed that day. She said «he doesn’t even smell like a dog, he smells like a fresh orange.
They don’t like being questioned on simple things. She turned into a foul mouth crazy woman as soon as I asked if they cleaned out the kennel daily.

i am so happy that my friend recommended me taking my rottweiler to adorable pet lodge! we used to take her to a boarding facility downtown, but they were a little pricey.
they are located conveniently by the airport. the first time we boarded her, they gave us a little walk through of their facility. the dogs are given a nice little «run» filled with wood chips. this is where they go potty =0) its actually a really good size and the dogs are free to run around in there. the run is connected to their little bedding area (indoor). they are given little blankets to make them comfortable. i was told that by nighttime, the run is closed off to the dogs and they are only allowed in their little sleeping area.
its too bad that the dogs arent really able to interact or play with eachtoher… but i guess thats a good thing (especially if your dog isnt fixed). i found this kind of nice because at the other boarding facility, the dogs were able to play with eachother, but everytime we picked bailey up, she had food and toy aggression. definitely NOT a good thing especially since she is an extra large breed rottweiler. also, she always smelled really bad even though they bathed her before we picked her up. at adorable pet lodge, bailey is good tempered when we dropped her off, and good tempered when we pick her up. we also request for a bath the day we pick her up. she is always nice and fresh and clean when we get her =0) definitely a service that i recommend taking advantage of! AND its only like $ 40. they also trim nails (upon request). the only thing that i found weird was that she would always be extremely tired and had a bit of a cold when we get her back. this always happens so im guessing its normal for a dog to be tired and a little under the weather when they come back to us. she’s back to normal in like a day so no biggy.
overall, great friendly service and very nice and clean facility. i love how they always remember bailey as the nice and gentle rottweiler! we always board here and i recommend to EVERYONE! they’re not open on sundays as clearly stated… so the person who wrote that mean review was completely out of line… clearly they are not open… what a tool.
oh! i always leave a tip! i know its not required… but i know that they always take such great care of my dog and she is always so happy when she gets there and when she leaves! plus, everyone remembers a good tipper, so yea! really great people here who know their dogs very well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

They are decent. If you want the convenience of a dog boarding spot near the airport at comparable prices, this is the place. Our dog has his own kennel and they took good care of him.
But the three stars is because
1) they are closed on Sundays and holidays. What this means to you is that if you are going on a trip and returning on the weekend, you have to either re-​plan your whole trip around their hours of operation OR pay them an extra day (which is prob what they are banking on, literally) of keeping your dog and suffer the inconvenience to drive back just to get the dog on Monday, and
2) their customer service. Actually the customer service of one old curmudgeonly man that has no reason picking up the phone (owner?). He doesn’t seem to understand why we’d want to pick up the dog on Sunday and I think he actually thinks everyone is an idiot for asking.
I always feel conflicted dealing with these guys. If another place opened up near the airport is switch in a heartbeat. But like I said, for what they do, when they do it — it’s decent.

We took our 2 dogs there. The owner, an older man, was incredibly condescending on the telephone. He was boastful about his business, accommodations, and rates. When we brought our dogs there, the front desk staff person was lovely. She listened to instructions, including feeding the dogs separately and giving one allergy medications. She stated that it was an additional $ 20 for «play time.» Otherwise our dogs would stay in the dog run the entire time.
When we picked the dogs up, the female owner, an older woman, was very rude. She gave very little information of how the dogs were. She was also rude to the lovely staff person.
One of our dogs put on about 10 pounds and one lost about 5. This means that they were probably not fed separately, as requested. Our dog with skin allergies was very itchy, which makes me suspect that he was not given his medication.
I will not be taking my dogs there again.

This is the most unprofessional place I have ever dealt with. The owner actually told me to go F*ck myself when I asked him if it was possible to pick up my dog on a Sunday. This was the actual conversation.
Me: I understand that you are closed on Sundays, but since we are flying in on a Sunday, would it be possible to come pick up the dog on a Sunday?
Owner: We are CLOOOSED on Sundays!
Me: I understand that, I just thought that if there was someone there, and we have already prepaid, that I might be able to just stop in and get my dog on my way back from the airport.
Him: We are CLOOOSED! Do you know what closed means?!
Me: OK, you don’t have to be an a-​hole about it.
Him: You’re the one being an a-​hole! Go F*ck yourself!

My dog is a golden retriever. She‘s always somewhere in the yard playing and I have to bring her regularly to a groomer. I cannot stand to look her with matted fur and I don‘t have the time to take care of her every day. So I usually bring her to Adorable Pet Lodge‘s and I have never had any probs with their staff or whatever for 2 – 3 years already. Maybe this is because I know salon‘s working hours and I choose carefully.

Our little dog has a very sensitive skin and most shampoos make it blood red and she doesn‘t stop to scratch. She also doesn‘t like to be in company with other people except my family. Seems like Adorable Pet Lodge‘s employees have a gentle attitude to her and she is very calm, while they are brushing and washing her. So I give 3 points to this salon and wish them all the best in future.

Back again with great results. I’m so lucky this place is down the street. There is a petite woman with long brown curly hair that works there and I witnessed her holding a dog while it was getting its nails cut. She was very loving and tender to the dog so I know they are well-​cared for by real animal people.

DON“T DO IT! I used this kennel for the first time last week. I’m new to WA and didn’t have time to get a bordatella for the 6 month requirement at so many places downtown, and this place only required it once a year. also, this was close to the airport, cheaper, etc., so…
What a mistake! My dog has been at numerous boarding facilities in a number of states and settings and and doesn’t mind going — to the contrary — he usually looks forward to whatever new place he is exposed to. Not this time. I have NEVER in all the years I have owned dogs and had to board them come across a worse set up for a happy/​health environment. This is such a dark and dingey place with low ceilings that I was clostrophobic in the few minutes it took to tour it. –Certainly what I would consider, and probably anyone who is concerned for the pet’s overall wellbeing would consider, a sub-​standard environment.(very closely resembles a city animal control facility– or maybe solitary confinement in jail?) My very laid back Dog freaked when he went in the back to the kennel area. As peeps have said in their reviews, the runs are sizable for the outside area, but the inside section is tiny and all is pretty dark. Also they lay cedar shavings about 2 – 3 inches thick all over the floor of the outdoor area, (like you find in a hamster cage??) and so you can’t see what is underneath it or if it is clean. They offer «day-​care», so I asked if my dog could be put in the day care for the extra charge while he was there — hoping to give him a break from the lousey space he was in, but I was informed that their «day-​care» didn’t provide play time — just day boarding in the same accommodations as the kennel. they did offer one-​on-​one playtime for $ 15.00 a day which only provided him 20 minutes of playtime in their yard weather permitting. It broke my heart to leave my dog there… but I had a flight I had to be on and was stuck. To be fair — I don’t think my dog was mistreated or neglected, but this was not an atmosphere that I would ever have chosen for him, and I really worried about him the 3 days I was gone. Oh yeah… and when I booked, they told me he would get bathed before going home. I asked them if they could add on his nails, ears and shaved his «potty-​path», and they charged me $ 35.00. Do yourself a favor — if you live downtown, use one of the places there. The amount of $ is the same as this place if you add in the bogus 20 minute playtime fee, and you know your pet is getting exercise, light, and some kind of inter-​action, or as I like to call it — their basic needs met. You can also probably see them playing online to reassure you they are safe and in good spirits. This place says on their website they’ve been in business for 40 years, yet they had scant amount of feedback/​reviews. I should have know better. Never never never again.

Update, my dog was well taken care of. They even groomed her for me while she was there. I will definitely consider going back there, can’t beat $ 22/​night!

I LOVE this place! After trying some of the boarding kennels in the city (a disaster and really expensive) I was thrilled to find Adorable Pet. They are located close to Sea-​Tac airport. which is very convenient when I travel. My two small dogs have been boarded here 4 times since I moved from CA and I’ve never had a problem of any kind. My dogs are actually happy when they are dropped off and even after a full week they come home happy. The staff are all caring, patient and helpful — they really seem to like animals.
Prices are very fair. I have my dogs groomed each time they visit and I’m happy with the grooming too. Adorable Pet has dog runs with inside/​outside access. They keep the inside nice and warm so no worries about your dog being cold.
I don’t understand why this business is listed as being in Bellevue, I checked the link and it’s the location in Burien. (1043 S 140^th).
