The owner, Lisa, even picked up a prescription for my dog while he was boarding and I was out of the country. With my dog Riley, they take extra care with getting him settled in and adjusted because he developed a bit of separation anxiety after the pandemic. They always have him looking his best after his every six weeks grooming. To make it easier for me (not having to call for an appointment) they've been booking him out every six weeks for the entire year. It is so easy for me to remember, and they do such a great job with him. I cannot say enough how much trust I have in Lisa and her team at Top Notch. If he needs to be boarded, I know he is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Avoid boarding your dog at Top Notch Pet Resort!!!…read more Our experience was nothing short of traumatic. We dropped off our healthy 8mth old German Shepherd, expecting him to be cared for while we were away. Instead, we picked up a critically ill dog who had to be rushed directly from the facility to the emergency veterinary hospital. He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and required oxygen therapy, IV antibiotics, IV fluids, and hospitalization. We were told his condition was life-threatening, and there were moments when we weren't sure he was going to survive. We have since confirmed that he contracted the infection while at the facility. What is even more upsetting is that no one informed us that he was becoming seriously ill while in their care. We were also told that he had been eating all of his food, yet he came home having lost a significant amount of weight. Had we been notified at the first signs that something was wrong, we could have sought veterinary care sooner. No family should have to endure the heartbreak of watching their beloved dog fight for his life after what was supposed to be a routine boarding stay. The emotional stress, sleepless nights, and thousands of dollars in emergency veterinary care could have been avoided. I am sharing our experience because I don't want another family to go through what we did. If you are considering boarding your pet here, I urge you to think carefully and ask hard questions about how they monitor dogs, recognize signs of illness, communicate with owners, and prevent the spread of infectious respiratory disease. We trusted Top Notch Pet Resort with our dog, and that trust was shattered. We will never board there again, and I sincerely hope this review helps someone else avoid the same devastating experience.

We've taken our dogs here for years and one of my dogs got kennel cough one time and she recovered just fine. We will keep bringing our dogs here. The staff genuinely care for our dogs and I'm grateful to have a place I can trust.

I left my dog here for what was supposed to be a 5-day stay while I was on vacation, but I ended up…read morehaving to get her picked up early after only 4 days. When my family dropped her off, they were told she could not leave her blanket or toy with her. However, the website clearly states that dogs are allowed to bring a blanket and a toy from home to help them feel comfortable. That is exactly why we brought those items, so this was confusing right from the start. The following day I called to check in and was told she was doing fine--eating, drinking, and adjusting well. I called again and was told the same thing. I asked if they could send me pictures of her, and when I received them I noticed a cut on the bottom of her chest. If I had not asked for photos, I don't believe I would have been notified about the injury at all. My dog has never cut herself before, so naturally as a dog parent you start worrying and thinking the worst. She is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at home, so it is normally her safe place. When I asked about the cut, they repeatedly told me they checked the kennels to make sure it was safe and suggested it could have been from a handler's collar getting stuck in her hair. However, my dog has very thin hair and the cut is nowhere near where a collar would normally sit, which made that explanation hard to believe. Another major concern was that their website advertises "all day play," yet in every picture they sent she was on a collar and leash. I was also told that they do not allow dogs to play with other dogs due to safety concerns, which directly contradicts what is advertised. Additionally, in the photos my dog looked very sad and withdrawn, when normally she is very happy and loves to play. This made me concerned that she may have been kept in a kennel and on a leash for most of the time she was there. Because of this, I immediately called family to pick up my dog early. The entire situation made me very uncomfortable and I did not feel confident leaving her there for the remainder of the stay. I chose this place because of the positive Google reviews, but after this experience I truly wish I had paid closer attention to the Yelp reviews as well. I will not be leaving my dog here again.

*This review is in regards to their boarding services only*…read more I have been using Big Basin for over 8 years now. They were recommended to me, because they are capable of accommodating aggressive and/or working dogs. Their kennel set up allows for them to care for dogs without having to enter the kennel. Gary and Peggy are the owners of this company. They have always been a pleasure to deal with for booking boarding dates. I have never had any issues with how they have cared for my dog over the years. My dog always looks healthy, cared for and excited to come home. Their rates are pretty reasonable and are priced by dog sizes. Their prices can be found on their website. They are open most days of the week. They used to have hours posted, but have since changed their hours to appointment only. Although I have never utilized their training services, I have heard good things about their training methods. This is a great option if you're looking for boarding and/or training.

I cannot say enough good things about Chelle and the work she's done with her. From day one, it was clear how deeply knowledgeable she is about dog behavior and how genuinely invested she is in each dog's success. Chelle doesn't just "train" -- she observes, adapts, explains the why, and meets both the dog and owner where they are. Her dedication is unmatched. She is consistently punctual, incredibly prepared, and always willing to go above and beyond -- whether that means staying a little longer to make sure things click, following up between sessions, or adjusting the plan as Mochi progressed. Thanks to Chelle, Mochi is transforming into a calm, well-mannered, confident dog. The difference is night and day, and the results speak for themselves. Beyond the skills Mochi learned, I also gained confidence as an owner because Chelle empowers you with knowledge, not just commands. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, puts in the work, and delivers real, lasting results -- Chelle is it. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who wants the absolute best for their dog.
