At Doggy Woods Retreat, we offer the best solution for pet care while on vacation, where your dog will get attention, playtime, and companionship.

easy as 1-2-3!
Call to schedule a meet and greet to see if your pet qualifies to join our pack.
The next step is a meet and greet so we can meet you and your dog(s). We do that here in person. It should last between 30 and 45 minutes. We use this time to do a temperment evaluation and to transfer trust from your dog to us to relieve anxiety when they are left for daycare or boarding. We do meet and greets 11am and 3pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, with some availability on weekends. What works best for you and Ill see what slot we have available next. Call for directions! It is very important! Private roads!
While you’re away, we’ll keep you updated with photos and videos of your pet. At the end of their stay, pick up your pet at a designated time.

Daycare is wonderful for our puppy.Posted on Google Mark JohnstonTrustindex 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 Google Theresa TrueaxTrustindex 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 Google Kristi McCulloughTrustindex 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 Google Desta GrahamTrustindex 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 Google Wade WatkinsonTrustindex 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!
