Leaving your dog behind when traveling can be challenging, especially when deciding who will take care of your furry friend. Doggy Woods Retreat offers a fun and safe environment where your pup can feel relaxed and happy. Our dog boarding near you in Marysville, WA, offers a unique experience where dogs can roam freely on 10 acres of fenced land, exploring everything from open fields, trails, sand piles, and a swimming pond.
Our dog boarding facility focuses on your dog’s holistic well-being. We provide a home-like environment with personalized attention, ensuring your pet’s comfort. Here’s why thousands of pet parents trust us:

Unlike standard canine boarding kennels, we offer 10 acres of open space for your pooch to explore. This includes structured playtime, socialization and routine feeding.

Each dog receives tailored attention, so their needs, preferences, and health concerns are taken into consideration. This means dogs of all ages and temperaments can feel at home.

Our dog boarding space is fenced, with staff checking the perimeter consistently. We also supervise group play and require up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies.

We offer overnight stay, daycare, and long term dog boarding options for pet parents going on extended vacations or work trips. Enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in good hands.
At Doggy Woods Retreat, we want every dog to feel safe, happy, and loved during their visit. Our boarding services include:

We provide a welcoming environment designed to meet all dog boarding requirements. With a focus on safety, cleanliness, and comfort, your pup will enjoy every aspect of our dog hotel. This includes plush dog beds, indoor lounging spaces, and a fully fenced 10-acre outdoor play area.

A happy dog is an active dog! Our daily schedule includes off-leash play sessions, nature walks, and space to explore. This is ideal for dog breeds with excess energy, helping them stay healthy and engaged. We also offer a swimming pond and other calm activities for dogs who prefer a more relaxed experience.

Consistency is key when it comes to your dog’s diet. We make sure that we follow a feeding schedule and their specific dietary preferences, so they get the same meals they enjoy at home. We recommend that you bring your dog's food in pre-packaged baggies for portion control. If you're staying away for a long time, a large bag of food is okay. Fresh water is always available at our dog hotel, and if your dog takes medication, please let us know so we can accommodate them.

We are a site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never closed.

After a full day of play, unwinding is necessary. Your dog can simply curl up on one of our five cozy couches, lounge chairs, or spacious dog beds.

Since they're pack animals, dogs need time to interact and bond. We supervise all group play, allowing social dogs to make new friends and enjoy structured playtime. For shy dogs that like quiet time, we offer personalized one-on-one time with our caring staff.

Although we don't offer structured programs, by being at our facility, your dog will naturally pick up on basic manners and positive social behaviors from interacting with our staff and other dogs in a supervised environment.

Our doggy TV is also packed with fun, real-life clips of our pack exploring the great outdoors. It's designed to entertain and support your dog’s growth at home and beyond. To be featured, submit your dog clip to us and let your pup become part of the pack online!

Daycare is wonderful for our puppy.Posted on Mark Johnston2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The owners are always very professional, and our dogs get excited as soon as I turn onto the road leading to Doggy Woods. They come home happy and exhausted... And the videos they take are great to have to see our dogs playing with the rest of the pack.Posted on Theresa Trueax2025-05-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods Retreat is the best!! Bailey went for 10 days after there became a family emergency. Daily Facebook post videos were shared and I knew she was having the time of her life. Run, run, run, play, play, play!, Bailey was worn out for 3 days after returning home. I highly, highly recommend Doggy Woods Retreat and will be back soon. Thank you so much!Posted on Kristi McCullough2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods is truly the best! We have a very high energy dog and she comes home tired and happy. We take her weekly to daycare and she is so excited when we arrive. We have also used them for overnights and training as well. All outstanding! I am so grateful to have found Doggy Woods!Posted on Desta Graham2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods Retreat - A Dog Paradise! Bless my heart, I just have to tell everyone about the WONDERFUL place I found for our sweet Angie! Doggy Woods Retreat is truly a slice of heaven for your four-legged babies. When my husband landed in the hospital (he's fine now, thank the Lord), I was in such a pickle about what to do with Angie. A Google search mentioned Doggy Woods Retreat, and my goodness, what a blessing they turned out to be! This place is tucked away in the most beautiful wooded area near Port Susan RV park. I swear, that dog knows a good thing when she sees it. She is shy at first, but she adjusted well before I left. I know the next time I take her there her tail will be wagging in anticipation of a great play day! She is shy at first, but she adjusted well before I left. I know the next time I take her there her tail will be wagging in anticipation of a great play day! Our Angie is part greyhound, part lab, and ALL energy. At Doggy Woods Retreat, she got to run like the wind with other dogs on their spacious property. I wish you could have seen the smile on her face as she tore around those trees! Made me a bit jealous that I couldn't join in the fun myself! The proof is in the pudding, as they say - our girl has been sleeping like a log since she got home. Completely tuckered out! That's how you know they've had a grand time. Their rates? Reasonable as can be for the peace of mind they provide. Worth every penny to see my girl so happy and well cared for. You know what would be the cat's pajamas? If there was a bed and breakfast nearby! Then my husband and I could have our own little retreat while Angie enjoys hers. Maybe someday! We're already planning to take her back for a half-day of play. Just to let her have another rip-roaring good time with her new furry friends in the new Doggy Woods Retreat the dog "Disney Land" of Marysville! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Doggy Woods Retreat, for taking such wonderful care of our Angie when we needed you most. You're a true godsend for dog lovers!Posted on Wade Watkinson2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods took exceptional care of both our pups for the week! We wanted our two dogs to feel like they were on vacation, comfortable with good dogs and great people. They treated our pups like their own, could not be happier with their services! They came back happy and exhausted from the play and adventures. Highly recommend!
