Whistle Doggy Daycare & Boarding

Whistle Doggy Daycare & Boarding is an in-home dog boarding and daycare service in Vancouver, WA, built around open pack play in a home setting. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds to giant ones, and has a capacity of 10 dogs.

What does a day at Whistle look like?

Dogs spend most of the day in open pack play, with both indoor play space and outdoor space to use. The half-acre private dog park is fully fenced, so there is room to run without leaving the property. Inside, the space is climate controlled, which helps on hot summer afternoons and wet Northwest days.

At mealtimes and rest periods, each dog gets its own size-appropriate kennel. That gives busy players a quiet break from the group. During stays, owners get daily photo updates.

What services are offered?

Whistle also offers several services beyond boarding and daycare:

• In-home overnight boarding and daytime daycare
• Baths, de-shedding brush-outs, and nail trims
• Basic obedience reinforcement and socialization
• Medication administration
• Pop-ins, walks, and pickup and dropoff transport

The training side focuses on reinforcing basic manners and building social skills. For owners with long workdays, walks and pop-ins can cover the days a dog stays home.

Practical details for Vancouver owners

Hours are 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday, and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Published daily rates run from $40 to $70. Reservations are made online through the Whistle website. Questions can go to 360-836-0180 or mae@whistledogs.com.

With a small group size and a home setting, Whistle suits owners who want their dog in a social pack rather than a large commercial facility. Dogs that need a bath or nail trim can get one during the same stay.
