Your 1-stop source for boarding, grooming and daycare
Located on the east hill of Kent, WA, Soos Creek Kennels is located on 7 wooded acres that are nestled next to a county park and stream. Sounds good? It is! While we are a traditional boarding facility, we're not an ordinary facility. When staying with us, pets have a chance to step outside and see daylight, listen to the birds and breathe fresh air.
All staff at SCK share a very important quality--we are completely devoted animal lovers! Our single goal is to provide your Pet Family with a safe, comfortable and healthy environment. Whether visiting us for Boarding, Grooming or Daycare, every effort will be made to make your VIP (Very Important Pet) comfortable and their stay enjoyable.
Our promise to you is our commitment to them.
Where to begin? Easy! I was 2 years old with a poodle named Mitzi (my Sister's) and a cat (whose name escapes me) but I was the only one the cat would allow to handle him. I'd carry him around in a child-like choke hold and he never once thought ill of me.
Isn't that part of the magic of pets? No grudges, no boundaries and no limitations on their love for you. That's how it began and with every stray dog that came through our house and backyard, the feeling grew until I knew I could never be without a best friend.
As I grew up and my Dog Showing was at its peak, I looked for a business with pets that would fulfill a childhood promise to myself that "if I could ever make a living doing something with dogs, I would."
So, I purchased and took over operation of Soos Creek Kennels in 1997 with the help of my Mom and the one remaining employee from the previous owner; Danielle. Many years later, Danielle and I now have two beautiful daughters and a life and a home filled and surrounded with animals and many happy memories!
Dan Overstreet, Owner and Top Dog
Danielle has worked at Soos Creek Kennels since 1995. The only employee carried over from the previous owner, Danielle is truly Soos Creek Kennels first employee. Danielle's love for animals knows no boundaries; well not entirely true no insects, no reptiles!
She literally has done every job imaginable at Soos Creek Kennels, these days Danielle has found an outlet for her creativity in taking charge of the Grooming at SCK and established herself as a very sought after Groomer. Still she makes time to take care of all aspects of bookkeeping in her spare time (Nil) and still puts a smile on her face when working the reception desk.
Danielle and Dan created their own little Love Story here at SCK and have two Beautiful daughters that have grown up playing, working and creating memories with all the pets that have graced our doorstep.
Andrew started working at SCK back in 2019. He’s always loved working with animals and he can thank his childhood dog Kai for that. He cares for the well being of all of the animals that stay here at SCK and just has the most fun cleaning up after them. He also has a heart for maintenance work. No one can get the job done like Andrew! If anything needs fixing he is there on the spot to do the job. Through hard work and dedication to his job and our customers fur babies has risen to the role of Facility Manager at Soos Creek Kennels.
Andrew currently has 2 dogs. Fridge (supermutt) and Mud Bucket (poodle). He spends most of his free time walking these two and playing with them. They can be a handful sometimes! They couldn’t have a better dad than Andrew!
