Cascade Kennels

What Cascade Kennels does

Cascade Kennels is a privately held, single-location pet care facility operating in Woodinville, Washington since 1975 on a 7+ acre wooded site with ponds and trails. The facility was rebuilt in 1999 within two fully-enclosed heated buildings to provide modern kennel infrastructure including an innovative inclined kennel cleaning system that enables constant low-chemical sanitation, a Prima Bathing System that cuts water use by half and shampoo use by up to 84%, and an industrial backup generator for full-facility emergency power. The business serves pet owners in the greater Seattle metropolitan area—Woodinville, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Seattle, Bothell, Snohomish, Mill Creek, Monroe, and Duvall—delivering overnight dog boarding ($52/night) and cat boarding ($35/night), full-day and half-day dog daycare, professional grooming (bath, full groom, a la carte), and structured dog training programs (Board & Train at $2,200/$4,000, Cascade Day School at $995/10 weeks, plus a self-paced online puppy foundation course). Additional revenue is generated from daycare packages, activity add-ons (walks, hikes, playtime), a room service menu, and a Golden Age Program for senior pets.

The facility operates as a family-owned, direct-to-consumer service business with approximately 35-45 staff (canine, feline, grooming, training, and exercise handlers, plus support roles). Operations are run from a single physical site, with reservations managed through the Paw Partner third-party platform and dedicated iOS/Android mobile apps; grooming bookings are taken by phone. Marketing is primarily local SEO for each served city plus an educational blog ("The Scoop"), organic social on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, new-customer introductory offers, and a referral program. Third-party training organizations (Dogs in Progress, Leslie K9 Enterprises, Seattle FlyDogs, FunQuest Dog Sports, Canine Companions) host classes and events on-site, turning the property into a community hub for Pacific Northwest dog sports and training. The facility maintains an "open-door" tour policy and markets 24/7 on-site staffing enabled by employee housing on the grounds.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Rover: Online marketplace connecting pet owners with in-home pet sitters, boarders, and dog walkers. Targets the same dog- and cat-owner segment but via a different delivery model (in-home caregivers vs. facility-based); a partial competitor that erodes the addressable market for traditional facilities like Cascade.

Broad incumbents

• Best Friends Pet Hotel: Multi-service pet care chain offering boarding, daycare, grooming, training, and retail under a national footprint. Comparable service breadth to Cascade Kennels, including training and grooming; positioned as a broader incumbent with significantly greater scale and geographic diversification.
• PetSmart PetsHotel: Boarding, daycare, and grooming offering operated inside PetSmart retail locations across the U.S. Overlaps with Cascade's boarding and daycare services for the same dog-owner customer base; benefits from co-located retail and veterinary services that a standalone facility cannot match.

Direct peers

• Dogtopia: Open-play dog daycare, boarding, and spa franchise with hundreds of locations across North America. Directly comparable on daycare-led service mix, climate-controlled indoor play environments, and grooming offerings. Differs in scale and franchise structure versus Cascade's single owner-operated site.
• Holiday Barn Pet Resorts: Independently owned multi-acre pet boarding, daycare, and grooming resort serving the Richmond, Virginia area. Comparable to Cascade on rural/multi-acre setting, full-service scope, and long-tenured independent ownership.
• Camp Bow Wow: National dog daycare, boarding, and grooming franchise operating multiple indoor play yards with a similar all-suite overnight boarding model. Directly comparable in service mix (boarding, daycare, grooming) and target customer (pet owners), though delivered through a franchise model rather than a single owner-operated estate like Cascade Kennels.
• K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel: Luxury dog boarding, daycare, and spa franchise with resort-style accommodations and cage-free play. Comparable to Cascade on premium overnight boarding, cage-free daycare, and grooming; operates through a franchise model across multiple U.S. states.
• Wag Hotels (Tailfin Pet Resort): Premium overnight boarding, daycare, grooming, and training services with resort-style facilities. Directly comparable on full-service pet care scope and premium positioning; primarily serves the San Francisco Bay Area and other select metros rather than Seattle.

Regional players

• Bark Avenue Daycamp: Independently operated dog daycare and boarding facility offering open-play daycare and overnight boarding. Comparable in service scope and independent ownership; regional operator not in the Pacific Northwest market.
• The Barking Lot: Independently operated dog daycare and boarding facility in Southern California offering cage-free play and overnight stays. Comparable service mix (boarding, daycare, grooming) but serves the Los Angeles market rather than the Pacific Northwest.
