What can we say? There are at least a hundred adjectives to use but we will just understate this as…read moreWOW. We are the pet parents of a stupendous (in our opinion) 6 1/2 year old Pittie named Sargent Major. We live in a pretty remote part of the state and normal every day sights such as cars, people and other "pets" are a rare occurrence. Hence Sarge isn't familiar with them and could be a bit aggressive when he encounters them. We have never boarded him for either daycare or extended boarding however we recently needed to have him at a boarding facility. Our nerves were way up there and the stress we felt was off the charts. My husband spoke to LAUREN and detailed our concerns, spoke of our love for and concern about having an unsocialized "puppy" who needed her services. We had spoken candidly with a few other people in the pet care field and we were informed more times than not that they were really not able to accommodate us (for which we were completely understanding). LAUREN asked all the pertinent questions, answered all of ours and suggested a one day orientation type stay for him to see how he would do (being his first ever time away from home) and to also see how they would be able to interact with Sarge. Night before we packed up his favorite blanket, his favorite toy, his food and snacks. The day dawned and Sarge was off to Fetching Ridge Pet Hotel and Spa. Sign in and drop off was a breeze. More comforting was how upbeat LAUREN AND STAFF were when we entered. The handoff was seamless and with a bit of apprehension Sarge was led off to his adventure. No phone calls from Fetching Ridge all day gave us confidence, apparently they must have been doing well at their trial. When we went to pick him up later that day a very smiling LAUREN greeted us and assured us that our day camper had done very well and behaved well! We received a full report about his free time activities, his feeding and interactions. When Sarge was brought out to us we were taking home a VERY HAPPY and TIRED dog. I realize that this has been a bit wordy, but I HAD to say in every sense with all the words that if you have a pet that needs grooming, boarding, daycare or all of it you MUST do your pets and yourselves the favor and allow Fetching Ridge Pet Hotel and Spa to take care of it! Sarge will be boarding there for 4 nights this weekend, we are headed on our own adventure with a calm and certainty that our boy is in the BEST CARE. Thank you Lauren and staff from the bottom of our hearts for caring for our puppy and us at the same time.

I think she had plenty of opportunity for exercise in the big field behind the barn. I arrived a bit early and had the opportunity to see Lora out in the field with all the dogs. Happy was wagging her tail and focused on Lora who was throwing a ball. I got the feeling that she is always 100% engaged with the dogs. Lora is very professional and follows all state requirements for running a boarding kennel. She understands dogs and helps each one feel comfortable in their new environment. I wouldn't hesitate to let Happy stay with Lora again.

Koda had never been boarded and to say he had a rough start to his stay would be a huge understatement. Karen and her staff worked with him to ease his anxiety(and mine).

The inside of the kennel has AC the out side was covered. They also have an uncovered area fenced off for the dogs to play. They have room for horses but they didn't have any the days I was there. The one owner I worked with was Karen. She was friendly, knowledgeable and knows people love their pet like children and she treated them that way. She made sure she knew everything she needed to know for caring for our girls. When I picked my girls up a few days later i was running a little late and Karen told me not to worry about it she will be there. When we got there she was out walking the girls and letting them play. The girls were very happy but tired from playing, but it made the ride back to Winston a little easier with them sleeping. I was very happy with the experience. This is the first time i have boarded my dogs with a kennel. I usually left them with friends. I have always worried about my dogs getting fleas etc. at a kennel because of past experiences. Fairwinds is by far the best kennel I have ever used. Its worth the trip from Winston

I would understand if we had not both called and asked. She called the owner, who ultimately had someone get the dogs for us. The owner and the employee was extremely rude. Megan was nice however.
