Mixed bag and inconsistency with boarding care. I started taking my cat here in July of 2025. Nikki, the new owner is polite, professional, listens to your needs, and treats the animals well. However, on one occasion I felt very uncomfortable with how the other staff member, Ellie, provided a directive that my dog should be trained better and that she herself could provide that training. I found this to be an overstep of boundaries and extremely unacceptable, as my dog was not planning to board there on this occasion. My dog was in the back of my truck on this occasion last summer and had jumped out due to being anxious before being dropped off at a different boarding facility close by that has recently been bought out by the Airport. Just recently, I chose to board both of my animals here at Lost Creek Kennels. I felt part of my detailed and written care instructions were not followed, specifically for my dog who has medications that keep her calm while she stays in new locations and is away from me. I was told that my cat and dog would be provided bonding time together during their stay. To my knowledge, this did not occur. Plus, my pick up time was sooner than the date expected due to travel plan changes. I always feel very rushed and disregarded whenever the staff member Ellie is working upon my drop offs for my cat. This time on the drop off 02/20/2026 was probably the worst yet. It was like she wouldn't even listen to my instructions. Things needed to be done "her way." My pets only stayed two nights. I sent a text message I was planning to collect my animals by 7:30pm on 02/22/26. The response I received was that it was preferred I be there prior to 7:30pm, as that was the time staff member Ellie planned to lock up and leave for the night. I questioned the pick up policy of the facility, given I was told Sundays the pick up slot is from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Why would the staff not be compassionate or even a bit lenient had I been past 7:30pm given travel circumstances, even for an earlier pick up time? For the record, I arrived to the facility shortly before 7:00pm. I was shocked to discover the demeanor of my cat upon my greeting was not normal, as she cowered and would not come to me, which is unusual given even one day out my presence, her immediate response is to seek affection. My dog also did not receive her proper PRN medications, as the same amount that was brought to the facility upon drop off was still the same amount in her pill containers. I held onto my payment check, and will be following up with the owner regarding the negligences noted and reasonable suspicion, plus confirmed med count for my dog's PRN medication, that the other staff, did not provide adequate care for the boarding of both of my pets. We went to PBR Kennels with Linda and Kat for years. I miss them and wish the airport had not bought them out for the property as of February 1sr, 2026, as we never had any issues when my animals stayed there. As soon as I got my pets home, I fed them both. They both were very hungry and eager for my attention once settled. Never again will my animals be boarded at Lost Creek Kennels. Steer clear. read more
