Before I get started I want to emphasize that the prices are VERY reasonable. We paid similar…read moreprices at our last facility for 8 years, which we loved, but did not get this level of care or oversight like 24/7 cameras, updates and pictures. Anyway, we just moved to Minnesota and tried P-K Pet Resort & Spa for the first time this past weekend. Since we don't know anyone here yet, we didn't have a backup plan if things went wrong--and our pets are truly our children--so their safety and happiness were our top priorities. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed. I was invited to tour the facility and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet it was. At most boarding and daycare places, you hear lots of barking and commotion, but not here. Instead, there was soothing music, TVs for visual stimulation, and every dog I saw looked happy--wagging tails, relaxing on their beds, or enjoying their private patios. We've always boarded our pups together because one of them, Newt, has separation anxiety when she's not with her brother, Samson. The staff took my concerns seriously, asking about food aggression and making sure safety came first, but they also respected my knowledge of my dogs. We agreed that if there was any problem, they'd be separated. I appreciated that balance of caution and flexibility. Our dogs got cuddle time, outside play time, and their own outdoor patio space. We also loved having access to a live camera feed--Samson especially enjoyed the patio! On top of that, we received thoughtful updates letting us know the dogs were doing well, eating, and showing no aggression, so they got to stay together. They even joked, asking if we brought the right dogs since I had been so worried beforehand. Overall, P-K went above and beyond to make us (and our pups) feel comfortable. We felt reassured, supported, and most importantly, we could see how happy our dogs were. We'll definitely be coming back.

THE BEST!!! Our American Bully, Jack, has never been boarded before; but he is so friendly. He was…read morenot happy at all, didn't want to sleep on the bed, wouldn't eat for 2 days. It was heartbreaking. The staff were spectacular and they wouldn't give up. Kept giving him fresh food, talking to him. Finally broke the ice with a lick mat covered in whipped cream. They sent a picture, he had one side eye on Alex while he licked. Between the live feed, emails, and phone calls, we were able to check on his progress. What a wonderful experience. We were only going to be gone for a few days, so it was reassuring to see his progress. Once he started eating we knew everything was going to be okay. Just a great experience, much more than a business, a real service provider.

Bear Creek Kennels was a life saver! We needed a place to care for my 2yo loveable girl, Stella,…read morewhile my family member had appointments at the Mayo. Stella never stayed at a daycare before and I was concerned about how she would do. So I researched all over Rochester and came across Timm and Bear Creek kennel. So glad I found her a place that I felt comfortable leaving her for most of the day. It worked out great! If you are looking for a reliable place that genuinely cares for your dog - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Timm's kennel. Stella was housed in a large indoor kennel with a few new friends when we came to pick her up. All the dogs looked happy and cared for. I especially liked the outdoor fenced area, which is another option for your dog - inside or outside, wherever they feel more comfortable. Also it was super nice of them to post up a picture of her on their facebook page.

Tim was super flexible with our special-needs pups and made sure to let us know when he gave the daily meds to our epileptic guy. His caring and responsible daycare allowed us to focus on our own needs. Highly recommended!
