Blackthorn Boarding Facility - Buckley, Washington

Update: Austin and Jennifer are still the best! Our girls have stayed with them a couple times since our first review and every time they get so much playtime and love. Their pricing is fantastic as well!

Austin and Jennifer are the real deal! We had our two girls stay with them over Christmas for 12 days and during that time we received frequent and timely updates with photos of our dogs having the time of their lives. Austin and Jennifer have a great set-up for outdoor playtime and even went above and beyond by taking on the responsibility of changing one of our dog's diapers and keeping her clean as she recovers from a booty-surgery.

The best part was that each dog got a professional picture with Santa and a Christmas present to bring home - all free of charge.

Overall, Austin and Jennifer are THE dog people to watch after your pets - we couldn't be happier and can't wait to use their services again.

Austin and Jennifer are the best! The boys started at just 11 weeks old when we had to take an unplanned trip!! They are loving and caring with the boys! Even though they are crazy they love them like they are their own! The boys get so excited to go and be able to play! If you are looking for a place for your dogs looks no further! As an anxious dog mom they have been nothing but great and I know the boys are in good hands!!

Austin and Jennifer are simply the best. I 100% not only trust them to take the best care of my dog, but I know how much my pup LOVES being there. She’s truly treated like family. They also send photo updates all the time which is fantastic, and they are really flexible with last minute requests - my husband needed surgery this week and they were happy to take my girl in for a few nights! Just the best.

Austin and Jennifer have been great with our dogs every time we have left them in their care! They are kind and very accommodating with any special requests we may have. Our dogs are more on the high energy side, and we know they are well cared for in their facility!

Austin went above and beyond for my boy Ace. I’ve tried a few different boardings in the area and have had a few issues afterwards. When Blackthorn took my German Shepherd, they made him feel like apart of the family. They sent me daily pictures of them feeding and playing with my boy Ace. I truly felt he was loved and cared for as if he was one of their own. Ever since leaving him with Austin, I will never leave my pup with anyone else. Thank you austin and the staff of Blackthorn. Attached is a photo of my pup that they sent me while I was gone.

Austin is great with animals. I've used them twice so far and every time I've picked up my dog, she's been exactly the way I dropped her off. He has an immaculate kennel setup with indoor and outdoor runs and he even brings them inside. For Christmas my dog got to see Santa LOL!

My 9 month old Lab goes here for daycare while I’m at work. Austin and Jen are awesome! They are always flexible with my work schedule, and treat June like one of their own! She has the best time playing with their pups and comes home tired and happy!! Would highly recommend Blackthorn! They are awesome:))

Austin and Jennifer are a great team! They have built an incredible environment for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Our blue heeler starts squealing with excitement when we hit their road and is so happy to say good morning! I appreciate that he comes home tired and spends his evening relaxing but does not seem exhausted or overworked. They ask questions and truly take time to build relationships with humans and their pets. We are so happy that we found Blackthorn Boarding Facility and highly recommend them!
