Testimonials
We are proud to have dozens of testimonials, and we value the feedback
of each of our clients. Here is a sampling of what our clients have
said about Myownly Boarding Kennel:
|
“I have known Cathi Tower
since 1987 when she first moved into the area with plans to open a
boarding kennel. Over the years I have watched the kennel grown and
have been consistently impressed with the facilities and quality of the
care provided to the boarded animals. Cathi and her staff all have
considerable experience working with dogs and cats. They provide
compassionate care for the animals that are left in their charge while
the owners are away. They are able to recognize medical problems and
are competent to administer medications if needed. I am happy to
recommend Myownly Boarding Kennel to our clients…”

Many, many thanks for taking such great care of my elderly dog Izzie while I am away. It is so nice to be able to go off to sea for three weeks knowing that he is not only well taken care of but will even be enjoying his “vacation” in Monroe! It is about an hour’s drive from my house in Seattle up to Myownly, but that drive is worth every second. I really appreciate your care and concern for the animals, your flexibility in scheduling and overall great customer service, and your cheerful willingness to deal with unforeseen situations (forgotten dog food, diarrhea, etc., etc.). We’ll be back soon!

My two dogs, a Duck Tolling Retriever and Lab Rottweiler mix have been boarded here five times this year. The owner and dedicated staff are great and treat all the animals with love and care. The dogs have received plenty of attention, play time and care. When the dogs are here, I know that they are being treated well and cared for properly. When I pick them up, the guys are clean and happy...they have had a great time at "dog camp". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

“As
a board-certified veterinary behavior specialist, I treat many anxious
and aggressive dogs in my practice. Myownly Boarding Kennel is one of
the few facilities I trust with my patients. They seem to understand
the importance of giving these dogs extra space and avoiding the
triggers that provoke aggression. They do not approach my patients
with the attitude that they are going to “train” them or “fix” their
aggression problems by being confrontational, but rather they respect
the value of allowing these dogs to develop a comfort level with their
emploees by avoiding confrontations. They provide a valuable service
for my clients who often have difficulty finding acceptable boarding
options for their dogs.

frequently refer my clients to Myownly Boarding Kennel for their
