All My Friends

An acquaintance highly recommended this place as I was trying to figure out what to do with our 8-​month old puppy for two weeks during the holidays. I’m so grateful for the recommendation; our dog LOVED it!
After two weeks at All My Friends, our very timid dog came back to us happy and exhausted from all the playing, but most importantly, much more confident. She now does a lot better with other dogs on her walks and at dog parks, which is a big bonus for us because we have been trying to get her socialized for a while with little success.
Everyone at All My Friends was patient with our dog and great at giving us updates over the phone the couple of times that we called. We also got a CD with pictures of our dog getting muddy and having a blast, which was a lot of fun to look at. The hour drive from Seattle is the only downside for us, but if that’s the tradeoff for lots of outdoor play area, spacious kennels, and a thoroughly happy poochie, I’m down with it!

We took our quirky girl Clover here for the week and she loved it! She’s a husky-​mix/​rescue with some weird eating habits, fear of dudes, and lots of separation anxiety, so I’m always a bit nervous to leave her high maintenance self with someone new. :) I was recommended here and will make it my go-​to doggie ranch! I love that she received such specialized care and was able to take her favorite blankie/​toys. The number of dogs under their care seems *much* lower than other places we’ve checked out. Kim was paying attention to her eating/​health stuff and gave us all the notes when we picked her up.
Another tale tell sign — our pup normally pulls us to the car and seems super stressed when we pick her up from daycare or boarding elsewhere. This time she was super calm and pawed at Kim and Kyle for a few pets as we said goodbye. :) So cute!
Two notes worth mentioning: its a bit far from Seattle. I’d say ~1 hour? I’ll gladly make the drive every time since its a good fit, but still something to take into consideration. Also, its not pen/​cage free at night — they get an open air area or «bedroom» — which has more pros than cons for our girl (lots of time to eat, calm down after playing, all her own stuff from home) but I know some dog owners may be seeking out a more communal space. (Note: Its very open and free range for the pups all day long.) While a traditional crate would be a deal breaker for the pup, I’m thinking getting some space has its perks for her over the 100℅ pen-​free setups.
Other fun things! Homemade stew, several huge yards to help split up pups by temperament, and a cd of fun pics from their visit. :)

I have been using All My Pet Friends for the past three years– and could not be more grateful for Kim and Suzanne. I live in QA, but no place is too far to drive for the times a year I have to travel back east. I have ‘trialed’ over a dozen places throughout the I-​5 corridor, and although its over an 1 ½ hour drive, I am most confident and comfortable with my dogs here.
Both my dogs are large (100lb+) severe abuse and neglect rescues that need particular attention and care. I’m no crazy dog lady, but I am attentive to the fact that dogs, like all other animals have attitudes, preferences and triggers. This last aspect is of particular importance to me, as one of my dogs is highly threated by any dog who shows ANY type of aggression. AMPF does an excellent job of knowing each dog, as well as their behaviors, and in my case, my girl is always kept safe and around other dogs of her happy, playful nature.
To the review who comments on Kim– I could honestly care less if the caretakers I leave my dog with are «people persons» I care that they are «dog people. «Kim and Suzanne are as dog whisper as it gets. Both dogs come back happy, healthy and in good spirits.

I have been taking My dogs here for 5 yrs and they love it here. My pups come home exhausted and sleep for the next two days from all the free play time they get. The staff clearly loves dogs and it shows!

I found All My Pet Friends through The Best of Western Washington. After calling for more information, they invited us for a visit with our labradoodle puppy to take a look at the location and talk about their boarding practices. Compared with all the other boarding places I was researching, All My Pet Friends lets your dogs run around the huge property all day and gives them a few hours rest after dinner so they can calm their stomachs before running around for a couple more hours before bedtime. All the other places I researched charged you extra to take your dog out for a walk or a belly rub! Here, your dog is not locked up in the kennel and can just hang out inside or outside with the rest of the visiting dogs. You pay a flat rate and the first night is a comp to make sure your dog is okay to be boarded, etc. We left our pup here for three nights and we picked him up thoroughly exhausted and happy. They are good people here and even sent us home with a CD with pictures of our puppy’s mini vacation. How thoughtful! Highly recommend and so happy we have found a good boarding place for the future.

I’ve brought my dachshund mix Jack here a couple of times this year as I travel back and forth from Seattle to CA. He has so much fun playing with friends, and always comes back exhausted but extremely happy. Kim and Suzanne give me updates on how he did when I come to pick him up, and I absolutely adore the photo CD! He loves it here; he runs around like a nut every time we get inside the gate. I love that he gets to have his own vacation when I’m away.

We rarely board our dogs so felt a bit anxious about leaving them with just anyone. After touring the property and meeting the owners we felt it was the perfect fit for our 3 dogs who have the run of the house and yard at home. Plenty of acreage to run around and an interior space with couches and chairs to lay low. It eased our worries knowing they’d be running around and having a good time instead of sitting in a kennel for several days. Thanks to everyone for taking good care of our four-​legged family. The picture CD of their «vacation» with you was a special touch too. :D

All my pet friends was recommended to us by a friend of ours who lives near Lake Union. I live in Bellevue and initially I was not sure if I wanted to drive 45 minutes one way to board my dog.
However after looking at the facility and meeting the people that run it we decided to board our German Shepherd over the labor day long weekend.
Goofy is 10 year old and has never been boarded. He also has not spent a bunch of time with other animals and we were very worried about how he will adapt. I was pleasantly surprised at the great experience he had and will never board him anywhere else except with Kim and Suzzanne.

This was our first time at All My Friends and our Cairn Terrier, Maisie, loved it! She came home happy and tired and needing a bath — perfect! That meant she was out running around and having a good time instead of sitting in a 4’x12’ enclosure for 5 days. We’ll definitely take her back here. Thanks to everyone for taking good care of her. It was so nice to pick her up and see that she was completely stress-​free! And thanks for the picture CD. That was a nice bonus!

They don’t get better then this place. My dog had so much fun and the send you home with pictures of your pet’s visit with them, so cute. I will never go anywhere else.
