my dog absolutely loves coming in for daycare! i’ve been bringing her for 2 years and the staff always greets her when she comes in! she has so many friends and the staff is more than willing to send updates and pictures!

Fin loved his time there! I was nervous to take him anywhere but those fears were gone the minute I got there. A bit of backstory- Fin is a 13 year old Schnauzer. Until a few months ago, Fin spent every moment of his life with his blood brother Henry. They were born together, came home together and were always side by side. Fin has always been the protective one, the louder one when strangers or other dogs were around and Henry was the sweeter, friendlier one. Sadly, after a few medical issues, Henry recently passed. And it was tough on all of us, including Fin. So when I made plans to go out of town for the weekend, I was a bit hesitant. He’d never done anything like this before and I was nervous how he’d be with people or dogs he’d never met. I’ve been told from the vet and groomer that when he’s alone and around other dogs he’s a very nice gentleman. So I hoped he would be there as well. And they told me he was! They told me he did very good and I credit them for doing so! He had a wonderful time and everyone did a wonderful job. He came home clean and then sent me photos of him nightly which put our minds at ease. I would receive to anyone looking to board their loved pups!

This was my new puppy, Bennie’s, first visit at Woofdorf which came highly recommended he LOVED it. And came home with an adorable paw print craft too. Kelsie and Payton were amazing at the front desk and treated Bennie so lovingly. Can’t wait for him to go back to Woofdorf Astoria! What a lovely facility and staff.

My dog loves coming here for day care . I know this , since I can watch her on the cameras . It's a good group of dogs and there's always a person or two watching over them . The staff are friendly and put up with my dogs bad manners. Id recommend them for boarding or day care . They also do some grooming while you pet is there if needed. Nice !

Picked up my dogs after staying for 2 nights and was disgusted to find them both wreaking of urine and their beds completely saturated with urine. Our dogs have never made a mess in the house. This is completely out of character for our dogs.

I asked when they were taken out to use the ‘potty’, I was told, “they were supposed to be taken out an hour ago.” When the employee handed them over to me for the first time, they both were clawing at the door. . I took em outside and they each ran to the grass at the property (Woofdorf) to poop and pee. It is clear to me they were not walked every 4 hours as we were told. Our dogs are used to being inside for several hours (while we are at work) for over a decade and have never had an issue like this.

It is obvious they have been neglected and we are truly disappointed. After a long day of traveling— our dogs have no beds, had to bathe them twice to get the smell of urine out, clean my car and home.

I would recommend avoiding this place.

We went out of town and my mother was watching our dog Nelson - which was a tremendous feat for her since he weighs about 75 pounds and she barely weighs more than that. She took him to the Woofdorf Astoria for play days while we were gone and it was terrific. They took such good care of him and he seemed to have a great time. It made it so much easier for her and she felt like they really cared about Nelson. We will definitely be using their services in the future!

My pet PIA absolutely LOVES going to Woofdorf Astoria. Last year was a bad year of illnesses and other issues for her off and on and she’s had no desire to want to do anything. I started to see her light shine again a “little” before the holidays approached and thought she was getting better. Here we are now in the new year of 2024 and she’s in a bit of a funk after a recent dog attack and wouldn’t snap out of it emotionally. It’s so upsetting to see your pet depressed and not wanting to play with their toys, interact in any way or to even take a walk. I decided to bring her back to WA yesterday to see if not only the staff would pick up her spirits but her doggie pals as well.
WHAT A GAME CHANGER!! I received pics from the staff with her playing with her friends and having a great time and I too kept an eye on her on my cell thru their web cam. She was doing better than I anticipated. Her light shines “bright” again after just one visit, she is smiling a lot more and I have a very grateful heart. Thank you Woofdorf Astoria and your friendly, dedicated and loving staff for taking such good care of my little girl. If I could, I would give you 10 stars! GOD bless you all!! AR
