Beware there is no such thing as a one day stay with this kennel and no matter what if your pet…read morestays overnigh they will automatically charge you for two days (and it is expensive!) I booked my two dogs and dropped them off between 9-10AM on Wednesday (8/11). I picked them up on Friday (8/19) between 9-10AM. If you count it up this is 9 nights or 9 full days. However I was charged for ten days?!. When I asked Don the owner how this could be he said they bill by "calendar days"?! He confirmed I was charged for Friday despite picking them up during their morning pick-up hours. So I asked him hypothetically if I dropped my dogs off at 9AM today and picked them up at 9AM tomorrow (24 hours!) would I be billed for two days and he said I would because it is "two calendar days". I've used many kennels and NO ONE has ever tried this scam but per Don because it is their policy they feel they can get away with it. At $60 per dog this meant after tax I was overcharged $132. This kennel looks a bit run down and is out of the way so plenty to chose from and avoid this money grab. Also I called immediately after I noticed the overcharge and he took 4 "calendar days" to call me back. AVOID THIS PLACE!

Let me first start by saying how thank you I am that they were able to fit us in with less than a…read moredays notice. I have a giant dog and most places are not equipped for dogs over 100 pounds. We normally board at our vet but they were booked up. Our dog was boarded in a Townhouse. It had a very good size run which I'm sure our dog loved as he doesn't get such freedoms at home. Over all I would say the place was decent. That being said, the hours to pick up are very short. They only take cash. My two main complaints are the following: We boarded for two night and the bill came to $237. Yep you read that right TWO HUNDERD AND THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked. I said it is only $55 a day. He responds, "that's right a day. A calendar day." Now to me that is shifty as that is not on the website. I have been boarding my dog about 7 times a year for the 4 years I have had him. I have never paid anywhere per calendar day. OK well live and learn right? Get home and the dog STINKS. Just think of going to an elderly persons house that hasn't been opened to air out in decades. Mildew I think but not sure. The stink did not go away. A week later we went to Shampoodle to wash the stink off of him. So I would say if you are in a pinch I feel my dog was happy there. But I would do my best to not have to use them again.

Ruby is our fourth rescue and the animal love of our lives. Part Red Boned Coon Hound part Mastiff…read moreshe is a big girl with a bigger personality. By 2 years old Ruby had gotten her canine good citizen certificate and participated in various training/socialization programs. She is obedient, loving with all humans, especially kids and enjoys most dogs. Every so often certain dogs seem to flip her switch. On those occasions this big girl looks aggressive. Never has she hurt or touched another dog, but the barking and snarling concerned us enough to seek out a behaviorist. We found Sarah Todd through an internet search and respected her bio of credentials and experience. Speaking with Sarah on the phone prior to engaging her only confirmed that we had found a consummate professional. Sarah drove over an hour to consult with us. She allowed us to demonstrate Ruby's behavior in the environment and situations we encounter daily. Sarah spent our consultation time really listening to our concerns, giving us some important foundational information that we needed for a basic understanding of reactive behavior and excellent suggestions for activities, reinforcement and responses to modify Ruby's behavior. The harness she recommended has been a game changer for enjoying walks with Rubes. Sarah followed up the consultation with a written account of what was discussed. The suggestions weren't a magic bullet because they required consistency, but the effort is so worth the result. Basic training is a pet owner's responsibility to their pet and to themselves. But when you are faced with an issue that truly impacts the ability for your dog to be socially integrated, I can't emphasize enough the value of engaging someone like Sarah who has the experience, training, and ability to convey the information in a way that makes sense and is able to be applied practically in a way that allows you to live your life with your dog, not around them. Sarah is worth every penny...and then some.

My dog stayed here from 4/15-4/21/26. When I picked him up he was very dirty with urine and dried…read morefeces on his feet and legs. He also had raw spots on his elbows and knees. Brook, the manager, told me he had given her no problems other than when she went to wipe his paws before bringing him out to me. She offered me a rag and when I asked what it was for she replied it was for his "piss paws". I was shocked. Why was he standing/laying in his own urine/feces? Was he expected to eat in that same space? He also hadn't eaten the food I provided (his normal diet) so Brook took it upon herself to feed him "canned food" I don't know what kind. Again, I never received a phone call to authorize this. Brook knew he had skin allergies (he was there with both his anxiety and allergy meds-neither of which were dispensed to him) and random food can cause this to flare up. After getting him home and thoroughly brushed, bathed and fed, I contacted the facility and questioned his poor condition and was (for the first time) told my dog was uncooperative and attempted to bite... again, I was never told this until that point. If I had known there was an issue, I would have gladly okayed using a muzzle as needed. I am upset and concerned and will NEVER let my dog come back to this facility. He has boarded at other places and never has he ever come home in such a horrible state. On the contrary, he always comes home in pristine condition. I never write reviews but feel this is necessary and people should be aware. I'm sad because I like to support local businesses but this is one I cannot get behind.
