Creekside Pet Lodge

Creekside Pet Lodge is a family-owned dog boarding and cat boarding facility in Elk, WA, serving the wider Spokane area. Stays are private and cage-free, and dogs of every size, small through giant, are accepted.

What a stay includes

Dogs stay in their own indoor/outdoor run rather than a shared kennel bank. Play happens in the outdoor yards twice a day, one household at a time.

• Private indoor/outdoor runs, 13' x 4', with orthopedic beds
• Two private play yard sessions daily, plus pools in the yards in warmer weather
• Climate control throughout and commercial-grade ventilation for odor-free air
• Medication administration, special diets, and grooming
• A separate, quiet cat area with private condos

What sets it apart

Dogs from different households are never mixed, so there is no behavioral assessment to pass before a first stay. That makes the lodge a workable option for anxious dogs, seniors, and pets with special needs who do poorly in group daycare settings. Staff are trained in pet first aid and animal behavior, which matters for owners leaving a dog on daily medication or a specific feeding routine. The cat side is kept apart from the dog side entirely, with private condos in a quieter room.

Practical details

Rates published on the lodge's own site run $30 to $65 per day, depending on the pet and the package chosen. Booking is handled online, and current vaccinations are required for every guest. Creekside is open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Sunday, so pickups and drop-offs need a little planning around that Saturday and Sunday window. The lodge can be reached at (509) 866-6055 or hello@cspetlodge.com, and the address is 6611 E Oregon Rd, Elk, WA 99009.
