About Friendly Grove Pet Resort

A family-owned dog resort on 28 private wooded acres in Olympia, WA, caring for dogs like our own for more than 30 years.

At Friendly Grove Pet Resort, we believe boarding should feel like a home away from home, not a kennel. Our mission is simple: give every dog a safe, loving, low-stress place to stay, play, and be pampered.

Our Story

A Family-Owned Dog Resort in the Woods of Olympia

Friendly Grove sits on 28 private wooded acres in Olympia, Washington, just minutes from I-5. The quiet, natural setting helps nervous dogs settle in, gives curious dogs plenty to explore, and lets us care for every guest as an individual.

We're a family-owned and operated resort with more than 30 years of professional animal care experience. Our dog hotel is part of our home, and we treat every guest like part of the family. A favorite blanket or a familiar item from home is always welcome, so your dog has comforting scents nearby.

Caring for pets also means caring for the place they play. We keep our grounds pesticide-free, choose eco-friendly products, and practice sustainable landscaping across the property.
