The best thing to happen to your dog since being loved by you.

Whistle is a local, women-owned, & family- operated small business in Vancouver, Washington that began as a dream and became a reality in 2021. We’re here to help strengthen the bond between NW dogs & the people who love them. Whistle provides an inclusive, safe, & warm home away from home. We’ll play, grow, & learn together in our 1,200+ sq. ft. climate controlled, weather-irrelevant, and rubber floored cozy indoor commercial playspace with a wall of windows or our 3,500+ sq. ft. home & half-acre fully fenced backyard for friendly pups to enjoy. We’re professional dog people & at the end of the day, we all just want to feel good knowing we’ve done some good so we hope that you’ll give us a chance to make your lives even more full of joy & schedule a visit.

Temperament Evaluations.

In order to maintain a healthy and productive pack, all visiting dogs must participate in our complimentary Temperament Evaluation that will take place during the first 4 hours of your pup’s first paid daycare visit. We will interact & observe each pup to ensure that our environment here at Whistle is a good fit for everyone that enjoys our open pack play style.

If your pup gets the thumbs up on their Temperament Evaluation, your pup will have access to all of our services.

For those pups who might require more skill building or are simply not a good fit for our open pack play environment, we perform assessments on a case by case basis but may still be happy to offer other services like walks, pop-ins, and nail trims- all the services that could take place outside of our Commercial Playspace or Whistle Family Home. We would not be in a position to offer Daycare or Boarding services to those who aren’t good candidates for our environment since safety is paramount to everything we do here.

We don’t allow aggressive or reactive behavior in our open pack play environment. We also don’t allow excessive barking or marking in our open pack play environment.

“Oh my goodness, I had an absolute blast today! I got my vaccine boosters last Friday so that meant I could try out Whistle Doggy Day Care for discriminating pooches like me.I thought hanging out with some four-legged buddies sounded good when my mom mentioned it but wowzer, it was a stellar time. Everyone there was the nicest, even the ones with just two legs. It was a great gang & I felt welcomed with wide open paws. The coolest thing is that it was quiet and had a sense of peace to it, not all loud and barky. I’m a pretty zen girl so this made for a very groovy fit. My mom got to see a photo of me during my “test run” and she really enjoyed that. We chatted about the experience on our way home and yup, I’ll be going once a week just because it’s so much fun.”

“From day one Whistle Doggy Daycare have made us feel like part of their family. Not just my puppy, but my daughter, husband and I as well. Our puppy is so excited when she gets to go to “school” and play with her friends. I also love the fact that they post pictures during the day. Using the online booking platform is also super convenient. I needed to drop off early and pick up later as I work a 4 day schedule and I found their hours ideal for our busy lifestyle. They even hosted an end of summer Doggy Day Camp for kids and their dogs and my daughter and pup had a blast. Our pup is part of our family and I’m grateful to have someone that can love on her when I’m not around.”

“There is not enough room on this forum to type all of the great things about Whistle Doggy Daycare. The owners are extremely knowledgeable in dog behavior and give me great advice! They are always so kind and patient with me and my furry guy. He was nervous to go to daycare at first, but it is now his favorite place to go and he rushes to the car door in the morning in hopes he gets to go to daycare! They socialized him so well and it is so worth the money. They have great pricing, and I don’t ever have to worry about him while I am at work. Love you guys!”

“I don’t even know where to start. When I brought home my new puppy, I knew I was going to need a team to help me raise her. Definitely needed a daycare and a groomer that would show her the love that I do. After visiting a couple daycares in my work area I was scared that I would never find what I was looking for. On my lunch I walked into Whistle. I talked with Mae for awhile and I knew that this would be my girls second home. Mae really spoke to my heart. I could feel the love that she had for all the dogs there. My girl was so excited on her first day, and every day after that. When I drop her off in the morning I feel like I am in a cartoon because my girl is doing everything she can to get in as fast as she can. Every night when I pick her up she acts like she doesn’t even want to go home with me. I am sure that she would prefer being the last one picked up. Mae is very knowledgeable and has helped me out many times with her expertise. I love being able to walk in at any time of the day and being able to see what my girl is doing and how the humans are interacting with her and the others. I don’t feel like 5 stars is enough, I would give more if I could.”

“We love Whistle Doggy Daycare! My pup absolutely loves his weekly visit and gets so excited on the car ride over. Mae, Jacob and the whole team at Whistle are the best and incredibly friendly and professional. On my very first visit to drop off my pup Mae already knew my name and my pup’s name. She immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. They even helped celebrate my pup’s birthday by writing a chalk message outside their front doors! I would highly recommend checking Whistle out for your doggy daycare needs.”

“I absolutely love Whistle! (And more importantly, so does my dog) Mae and everyone else here are always incredibly kind, knowledgeable and professional. My pup loves going to daycare and when I recently boarded him for a week with them I returned to a happy, healthy pup who looked like he would have been perfectly content to stay and play for another week! Everything is always clean and well cared for, and I love not worrying about my pup being outside in bad weather or getting overheated. Mae has always been so helpful and patient for my never ending questions and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs. Whistle is the best!”

“Took our 8 month old, rambunctious, unsocialized, somewhat naughty airedale pup for 12 nights and despite having a lot of trepidation Mae made us feel very comfortable about leaving her. We tried every local facility
since this is a long time and being out of the country caused me concern (I wouldn’t be able to return quickly if something were to go wrong). We had our girl visit in small increments then progressed to all day eventually going for a few overnight stays. Mae was great with our pup and worked hard at helping her “fit in” to these new accommodations. Additionally I really like the open viewing so you can see how your dog is doing with others. Mae is more than willing to reinforce current dog training behavior you may be working on, has knowledge and a heart for animals. We highly recommend.”

“I cannot even begin to tell you how fantastic Mae was with our boy! We were traveling through town and needed a (unexpected) dog day care. Mae was so gracious in letting Scottie join her crew for two days, but still made sure to do a thorough check before letting him just show up! If I lived in Vancouver, she would be my go-to doggie day care. She sent updates and photos and Scottie was so excited to go back (I’ve never seen him THAT excited for daycare). 11/10 service and love!”
