🐾 Friendly Grove Resort for Dogs – Premium Dog Boarding in Olympia, WA
Where comfort, care, and nature come together for your dog's happiest stay.
At Friendly Grove Resort for Dogs, we believe boarding should feel like a home away from home — not a kennel. Our mission is simple: provide a safe, loving, stress-free environment where dogs feel calm, happy, and cared for.
Located on 28 private wooded acres in Olympia, Washington, just minutes from I-5, we offer a peaceful retreat designed to reduce anxiety, encourage exploration, and nurture every dog’s individual needs.
We are a family-owned and operated dog resort with over 30 years of professional experience in animal care. Our dog hotel is part of our home — because we want every guest to feel like part of our family. We welcome favorite blankets, toys, and personal items so your dog always has the comfort of familiar scents.
Caring for pets also means caring for the planet. We are committed to environmentally responsible practices, including pesticide-free grounds, eco-friendly products, and sustainable landscaping.
