Rosedale Pet Resort

Rosedale Pet Resort is a home-style, cage-free kennel offering dog boarding in Gig Harbor, Washington, with separate accommodations for cats. Guests stay on a 5-acre wooded estate rather than in a commercial kennel building. The focus is deliberately narrow: small dogs under 30 pounds and geriatric dogs get priority.

What a stay includes

• Private bunk-room suites with raised orthopedic beds, no cages
• Several large fenced outdoor play areas with varied terrain
• Daily walks plus supervised playgroup time
• Medication administration and special diet preparation
• A complimentary bath and dry for stays of three nights or longer

What makes it different

Care is personal rather than high volume. The owner sends regular text updates and photos during a stay, so owners know how their dog is settling in. Certifications include Fear Free, Pet First Aid, and Pet CPR. Indoor areas are climate controlled, and an indoor playroom covers the days when the weather turns.

Who it fits

The size limit shapes the guest list. Small dogs and older dogs who do better away from a big, busy kennel floor are the core clientele here. Dogs who enjoy company can join supervised playgroups, and every guest gets individual walk time.

Cats stay too

Cats board in a dedicated Cat Cabin, separate from the dogs. Each one gets a private window condo with heated bedding.
