A nurturing home away from home

Welcome to The Pawsitive Pet Care Resort in Issaquah, Washington. Built on a lifelong calling to nurture living creatures, our home-based resort offers a stress-free, loving alternative to commercial boarding where your pet enjoys their own dream vacation while you enjoy yours.

Two decades of passion and dedicated care

The Pawsitive Pet Care Resort was born from a lifelong dedication to animal welfare. With over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience combined with a background as an elementary educator, our founder brings natural patience, structure, and nurturing warmth to every guest. We believe caring for animals requires undivided devotion, transparent communication, and genuine affection.

Stress-free comfort instead of kennel cages

Unlike traditional kennels that rely on constant confinement and loud, overwhelming atmospheres, we provide a peaceful, emotionally balanced home setting. Our guests enjoy a crate-free environment, with crates only used if a dog is already crate trained and solely at bedtime. By screening out excessive barkers and curating small social groups based on temperament, every pup feels relaxed and secure.

Acres to explore and 24/7 peace of mind

Our private resort grounds feature multiple secure outdoor zones, including an open front-acre field, a scenic back-acre trail system, and a dedicated yard designed for smaller companions. Rainy or hot days are never an obstacle thanks to our climate-controlled indoor play area. Because we live on the property, your pet receives around-the-clock supervision and tailored daily routines that mirror home life.

"Leaving our dog used to be stressful, but The Pawsitive Pet Care Resort feels like true family. The outdoor trails, personalized attention, and constant photo updates give us total peace of mind every single trip."
