I didn't see any staff interacting with them and didn't even seem excited to be there. Prices were high and so were the add on prices. I wasn't impressed in the least. I found a much better place to leave my precious fur babies with where the staff was happy to be there and lots more for the dogs to do and the prices were more in line. Every time we arrive at our boarding facility our dogs are so happy to be there they sometimes even forget to say bye to us. They take the dogs on walks to the park, down by the greenbelt, and have so many more service options and discounts for multiple pups staying together.

We've rescued seven Rottweilers over the years, five of them with tough backgrounds, and we've…read morenever needed a trainer -- until we met our latest boy. He was a year old and had spent his entire life in an outdoor kennel with no socialization. He was terrified of everything: cars, stairs, people, even being inside a house. His anxiety and behavior were so extreme that we were completely housebound. Our vet had to come to us because he couldn't handle a clinic visit, and he only allowed one of us to give him the shots he needed. We were out of options and didn't know what to do. After months of searching, we found Julie Holbrook at Megan's Boarding & Kennel, and she was the turning point. She took him for four weeks through her board and train program and gave him structure, manners, and the ability to actually learn. I know he was probably one of the most challenging dogs she's ever worked with, but she never gave up on him. When he came back, he was a different dog. Not perfect -- we still work with him every day -- but manageable, teachable, and no longer running our lives. Julie gave us the tools to continue his progress and helped us understand how to handle him. If she can train our dog (and I'm not exaggerating when I say he was wild, on a scale of 1 - 10 he is a 25). Julie can train any dog. Don't give up -- your dog might just need the right trainer, and for us, Julie was the answer. Even after training, Megan's Boarding & Kennel has continued to support his growth. He now attends doggie daycare and can even stay overnight for boarding -- something we never thought would be possible. Their team has helped him build confidence around other dogs and people, and it's made a huge difference in his socialization. We're incredibly grateful for the ongoing care and support. The change hasn't just been obvious to us -- it's something everyone around us has noticed. Friends and neighbors who were once nervous around him now comment on what a different dog he is now. Even our vet was amazed at the difference during his last visit. It's been a complete transformation, and we owe it all to Julie and the team at Megan's. They gave our dog a second chance -- and gave us our life back.

Piper (the owner) was accommodating to our last-minute request and made filling out the required paperwork a breeze. I never use third-party services to board my dogs so I was very apprehensive, however my concerns were ill-founded. Both of my dogs were in great spirits when we picked them up and more importantly when we dropped them off the next day - bound out of the car and into the facility. I guess you can't give a higher recommendation than that :)

Some of the things that were wrong about this visit. 1. I sent along 5 t shirts, one to be given to them each day. Two shirts were given to them, the other three left folded in the bag. How hard is it to put a t shirt into a kennel each day? Especially when it comforts them? 2. I asked that they pay attention to my oldest girl as she doesn't eat when stressed. I gave them canned food to entice her. They only used 1 can and she came home visibly skinnier. 3. When I picked her up. she was also visibly stressed - wet face and hoarse from barking. Could they not call and ask how they could help her? I could have had some anti anxiety medication brought for her. 4. I called several times while away (gave up after I couldn't get through more than once), NO ANSWER AND NO RETURN MESSAGE. the one time they answered when I asked how they were, the worker didn't know what dogs I was talking about. She quickly tried to recover but it was obvious she had no clue. I am so disappointed in the care they DID NOT receive.

I am heartbroken and furious. My 13-month-old golden retriever, Maple, was attacked during her…read morefirst overnight stay at Pocatello Pet Lodge on July 18-19, 2025. She came home with at least 13 puncture wounds across her back, ribs, and neck. No staff member informed me of the injuries, and no one even noticed they had occurred. Before this, Maple loved daycare here. But in April 2025, the facility was bought by Best Friends Pet Care, and the quality of care has drastically declined. When I dropped Maple off for her overnight stay, the staff was rude, disorganized, and admitted they didn't even have a kennel ("house") ready for her. Despite purchasing their highest-tier package and bringing her crate, they kept her in a temporary chain-link kennel the entire time. Additionally, I did not receive the 'bedtime photo' I paid for until after her stay was over. The photo, attached, shows she did not sleep in her crate, as they promised and claimed. When I discovered her wounds at home, I immediately called. The manager and staff were unaware Maple had been attacked. Based on her numerous injuries and her timid personality, this was not a single bite--it was a prolonged, unsupervised attack, possibly by multiple dogs. Staff later admitted they are severely understaffed and required by corporate policy to book at 110% capacity. Although they refunded her stay and offered to cover the vet bill, they claimed they could not identify which dog(s) harmed her. This means the aggressive dog(s) has not been banned or separated and may still be attending daycare and boarding. I will never take my dog back, and I strongly recommend you do not either. Maple survived only because of her size--if this had happened to a smaller dog, I believe it would have been fatal.
