I have been taking pets to Burnt Hills Boarding Kennel for 6+ years. This is the only boarding…read morefacility I've ever used where my dogs race to get in the door. When I return, they always seem to be glad to see me, but a little reluctant to leave. Kevin and Jeannette are always ready to work with me, for example my dogs love frozen Brussels sprouts. The kennel has a freezer; the sprouts I provide can be stored so my boys can get their evening treat. Fees are reasonable. Care is extraordinary.

It's not often I get the chance to write a review for a place that truly warms my heart. This is…read moreone of those places and this is one of those reviews. I moved to Saratoga in September with the idea that my dogs would be in Boarding for a couple weeks while we waited for our house to close. Those couple of weeks turned into two months. My four dogs, my babies, needed to live somewhere other than by my side for that time because of my temporary housing. Kevin and Jeanette took care of them as if they were their own. I have two pit bulls, Gracie and Sunny, and 2 senior dogs, Howie the Chihuahua mix and LeRoy the cocker spaniel. They didn't hesitate to take my pit bulls and they were kind enough to allow all of my dogs to stay in the same run. They provided continuous bedding, even when my girls tore up the blankets. They fed them, walked them, and loved them. I knew that my babies were loved when I went to visit and the dogs would go to Kevin or Jeanette for cookies and kisses. I've visited multiple times during the week to walk my dogs out in the woods or on the 40 acres of their ranch. Kevin texted me constantly with updates about their health and behavior. When Leroy got an ear infection or when the pitties were acting out, I heard about it immediately. These folks alleviated some stress from a very trying situation. I cannot express enough how grateful I am that people like Kevin and Jeanette run a kennel like this. I will use Burnt Hills boarding kennel for as long as I live in this area. P.S. I do not work for this business. I am a teacher who moved to this area two months ago and had to call around to all of the kennels in the area to find a place for my dogs.

We have been coming here for two weeks and every day we are greeted with smiles. When I come to pick him up he is always having too much fun and never wants to go home. The staff here always go above and beyond. They give me a full report on how his day went and let me know of any concerns. I am even fairly certain that they gave my little guy a (free) bath. I really love how comfortable I feel leaving my dog and how clean the store is. If you feel guilty about leaving your pup at home all day, definitely try out Henry Loves Betty!!

I work around the corner in Albany, so it's super easy to drop her off before work and pick her up on my way home. The daycare gang is all dogs under 40lbs at the Albany location, and I can tell my dog has played a ton by how sleepy she is when we get home! The staff is super friendly and kind, and they all take great care of my dog every time she is there. A couple weeks ago, my dog was a little hesitant to get in the mix with the other dogs first thing in the morning, so the guy working picked her up and hung out with her for a little to ease her into the day - so sweet! They have a great backyard so I know my dog is getting some quality outdoors time, too. I love following them on Instagram because they post cute videos of my dog and have taken some adorable glamour shots of my dog. Such a great place, reasonable prices, and confidence that my dog is safe and happy while she is there.

We now live in Brooklyn but drove him to Albany (where some of our family lives) specifically so he could board here. What a delight for him (and us). He had the best time staying there, running around, swimming, exploring and getting such good socialization time. Jen and the team kept us updated with daily texts, pics and videos. It really felt to us that Jen and her team know our dog really well, and are well able to take care of him. Definitely worth the trip for us knowing he's being so well taken care off, and isn't stuck in one room for a week with one walk a day. Definitely our go-to spot for long term daycare. Thank you Jen and team :)

I don't wish to delete my previous review because I really did have difficulty getting a response from the business, but the owner did eventually contact me. I think it was months later. She seemed very nice. She was very apologetic. She said she never noticed my phone messages or emails. The business was having technical difficulties and she assured me the problem was an aberration. I'm happy to see that the business has a better website and is doing well enough to expand to two locations. Sending my best wishes.

I walked in to inquire about their services and felt like I was inconveniencing them just to be there. I didn't get much further than that because between the smell of the urine and the nasty attitude of the woman that I was attempting to speak with, it turned me off tremendously. If that wasn't all, you could hear dogs barking consistently as if they were either fighting or not happy to be there at all. I've subsequently had friends try their services only to be equally dissatisfied.

During busy times, there's even someone in the parking lot radioing ahead to the counter to announce your dog's arrival and prepare the team to receive them. They greet your furry friend with open arms and come equipped with a grooming history card to check if you'd like any changes. But honestly, why would you? These experts know better than I do about all aspects of this process, and for that, I am truly grateful. When it's time for pickup, a friendly call informs you that your dog is ready, returned to you gleaming and gorgeous, accompanied by a debriefing of any concerns. They are my first-line defenders when it comes to Saydee's overall health, including her body, teeth, fur, and ears. Appointments can be challenging to secure because they are that good, which is why I book mine for the entire year. Monthly visits work best for me, and I gladly drive 35-45 minutes each way because I wouldn't trust anyone else with this task. A word of caution regarding any unfavorable reviews: They are poppycock. Professionalism isn't always warm and fuzzy and f you would rather hear flattering words while dealing with sloppy grooming, tardiness, and inconsistency, go somewhere else. But if you're looking for true professionals who know what they are doing and execute it perfectly, bring your fur baby here!
