Freedom Acres Kennels

My wife and I can't say enough about Jessica's care of our dogs. We have used Jessica for years now. Her combination of being a medic in the Armed Forces and being a veterinary assistant for many years make her an unflappable caregiver for your dog. As a veterinarian myself, it is wonderful to have someone watching our dogs who understands veterinary issues and is willing to take on a challenge. On our last visit, we had both our old yellow lab who was starting to fail, and our young lab who was recovering from an awful injury and still needed her wound dressings changed. I don't think any other facility would have taken our dogs, and I don't think we would have trusted anyone else to take care of them besides Jessica. She was stellar. As usual. Besides being incredibly capable,, she loves the dogs. And they love her. Our dogs have always excited when we arrive there and they see Jessica. I could go on but I better stop! We feel so lucky to have her for our pets.

We highly recommend Freedom Acres! Jessica is professional, kind and trustworthy. I am calling her a "dog whisperer" as she very quickly assesses and understand dogs personalities and cares for them accordingly. We entrusted her during our oversea trip with our Bichon frise, our Border Collie and our Chi mix. We could not be happier as were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Fur kids were well cared for in beautiful environment!

We highly recommend Jessica and Freedom Acres! We brought our girls in for a meet and greet two years ago. Jessica could tell their needs immediately and even helped us understand our reactive girl more. Every time we took our girls in we saw improvements in both of them. We've been boarding with Freedom Acres since. Before Jessica, we were not comfortable boarding the more reactive of our two. Now we can. Jessica is responsive. The girls always come back looking happy and healthy. Bottom line: will continue to utilize services and would highly recommend to others.

My dog spent a week here and had a great time! The kennel owners sent us regular updates about her antics, which were comforting to receive. They clearly love dogs, and are so competent and trustworthy. Prices were very reasonable too.Update: My dog really enjoyed her second stay at Freedom Acres' new location! She clearly had a blast! They took such great care of her!

A friend of mine uses this place all the time. I had to pick up her pup a couple of times. Very clean! And pup was happy when I dropped her off! Friendly staff too!

This is the best kennel we've ever used. Would never even think about using another. Our reactive shepherd loves going to "dog camp" when we go away.

We've boarded our pup here a few times and absolutely love this facility! The owners are friendly and kind. They send me photos of my dog so I know how happy he is, he comes home exhausted from playing with the other dogs and running around so much. Completely trust them with the love of my life and am so grateful to have found such a wonderful facility.

Just picked up two happy boys after spending 10 days at Freedom Acres. They clearly had a great time and are now taking a nap. The 45 minute drive from where we live is completely worth it. Personalized attention is hard to come by in boarding facilities and we have 2 hyper vizslas who need to run and play often.Thank you very much and we have peace of mind while away.

Jessica took care of my 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is a very kind person and will do anything at your request without extra charges. The facility is small so it is so much less stressful then your ordinary boarding facility. However, the kennels the dogs are housed in are very spacious and are indoor/outdoor so my dogs can choose where they want to be. Jessica really takes the time to give each dog whatever they need which includes play time in a large field! She also will give medications if needed. Her property is beautiful and I can't imagine what dog wouldn't want to be there. She definitely has the knowledge and background with animals which is a bonus! I would recommend this facility without hesitation!

Great place to board your dog. Jessica takes great care of the dogs, and gives them all individualized care. My dog is very shy around other dogs, and Jessica not only welcomed her in, she took my dog for personal walks around the numerous (and gorgeous) trails, instead of romping with the other dogs in the doggie play area. The next time my dog boarded, there was another dog that Jessica said she'd carefully try them together. Jessica introduced them slowly (the two dogs had a kennel fence between them for several hours), and with Jessica's gentleness and patience, by the end of the stay the two dogs were playing together. My dog has NEVER not run away from other dogs, and to see her play with another dog was wonderful! It's also really nice to know that Jessica has worked as a veterinary assistant, so she's adept at giving medications. The kennel is small, so not only do the dogs get individualized attention, but you also don't need ear protectors whenever you walk into the kennel. AND the price is very reasonable -- much less pricey than many kennels in the Olympia area. I'm so glad Freedom Acres opened!

Long overdue post, Coming from a background in the veterinary field I am VERY picky about my pets and their care, I am a helicopter pet mom and and treat my pets like my children. I have boarded my dogs at 3 other kennels before finding her location and I never worry when I go out of town anymore with my babies here! Honestly my dog Groot gets excited when he stays here. She is amazing at sending text updates but after the first time of Groot staying here I don't even need to update because I know he is just fine! Also her kennel set ups are awesome! She has them indoor/outdoor super comfortable for your pets !

I would certainly highly recommend this place to anyone. Jessica seems to care very much for animals. I know, because she took care of my GSD and Chihuahua while we were away for an entire week. She sent me pictures and videos without me asking her to. Look no further, Freedom Acres is where you can leave your dogs and not have to worry about them while you're away.

Tom and Jessica kept my “Bean” over July 4th weekend. We had tons of fireworks in our neighborhood and “Bean” doesn’t take those kindly.The daily reports and Tom and Jessica’s kindness to both “Bean” and our family is appreciated beyond measure. We won’t hesitate to use Freedom Acres again ourselves or refer our dog friends to them. Top notch 5star facility and people.

They took excellent care of our lab mix and golden retriever over the Christmas holidays. Lots of outside time without extra charge. Fully recommend them as a great short-term or long term border.

Our dog had a wonderful stay at Freedom Acres. Jessica was warm and welcoming, both to Josie and to us as the owners. The setting is beautiful, and Jessica provided personalized care. We will definitely be back!

I love this kennel! They cared for my old girl Ruby every time I came for a visit to my parents place in Montesano. Ruby was always happy when I dropped her off and picked her up. Jessica lives on her like she was her own and beings that Ruby was a senior I appreciated that! I highly recommend them and will use them any time I come down that way! Thanks Jess!!

We boarded our old lab Gauge with Jessica for a long weekend. She had some medical needs that Jessica was happy to take care of during the stay. When I went to pick Gauge up she was out in the enclosure with her new best friend, a little corgie. We have boarded our dogs at a lot of different places and none have compared to the care Jessica took with Gauge. Will definitely be bringing Gauge to you again on our next trip.

Absolutely the best. My GSD is really protective of my family and as such can be a pain to board. Within a day of being there, he was playing with the caretaker. Overall it was a great experience that will be used again.

No doubt these folks know about dogs and I am completely comfortable leaving our standard poodle in their care.

We will be lifelong customers. They treated our Lab, Nala like their own. Excellent people and Nala loved them too.
