Kritter Kare's Howliday Inn

Kritter Kare's Howliday Inn

We had to find boarding for our 3 dogs in short order as we had a family emergency out of town…read more None of the dogs had ever been boarded before so we were a little nervous on how they would do. We checked out Kritter Kare's Howliday Inn and a few other places near us on a Tuesday and the dogs had to be boarded starting Wednesday. We choose to use the Howliday Inn and I'm glad we did. The facility is clean, modern and welcoming. The 3 staff members we interacted with with were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. There is a large inside common area for the doggy day care and at least 3 outside play yards. I was shown two boarding areas and we were able to keep our 3 dogs together in one area which really seemed to help with any anxiousness they had about the new and unexpected situation. They were super accommodating to our needs of a very early drop off and a very late pick up due to the last-minute out of town travel. They communicated with me after the drop-off, providing updates and even pics on how the dogs were doing. The rates were fair/comparable and communicated up-front . The short story is the dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time. I certainly recommend this business and will use it again if we need to board any or all of our dogs again. BTW - they also offer day sitting/playtime and additional services that can be performed while your dog is boarded such as grooming and nail care. Thanks to Jen and her staff for helping out in a hectic time and we're so happy that everything worked out great for the dogs.

Our dog loves it here but you can never get in for daycare or boarding. It is clean and the…read morepeople are pleasant. We have failed getting in even calling a week or two in advance for daycare.

I had a wonderful visit with my pet to this veterinarian! Alexis and her team were wonderful and so…read morewelcoming. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed as well. I definitely recommend them!!

We took our golden retriever to R Vet because she had a fever and wasn't eating. We have had…read moreseveral goldens so it's common for them to get infections which this was obviously. They wouldn't give her antibiotics but ran several tests along with an ultrasound which totaled around $1000. They said they still didn't know what her issue was and that we needed to come back tomorrow so that they could bring in a specialist to do a better ultrasound. I brought Carley back the next day and they did the ultrasound but I never spoke to a vet and I don't think any vet looked at her while she was there. They just billed me another $500 and said they would call the next day. Two days later they called and left a message on my wife's phone saying they didn't find anything but there could be a spot on her liver so we should come in and have it biopsied which would be another $1000. By this time Carley had beat the infection off and was fine. THEY DIDN'T EVEN ASK HOW SHE WAS DOING OR WHAT HER CURRENT SYMPTOMS WERE! How do you treat an animal if you don't keep up with the symptoms they have. This clinic is just looking to run up diagnostic bills and not interested in just getting the pet well. It was most likely a UTI which could have been resolved by antibiotics. To date they still have not called to check on her or ask how she was doing and if her status had changed. Do not bring your pet to this clinic.

For several years I traveled extensively for work (weekly and 3-4 days). Until his death, my father…read morecared for my dog. When I needed to find a new care giver I was concerned since she had been at the humane society twice, so I wanted the best environment I could find for her. Williamsburg was one place recommended to me. When I visited, I felt very good about the facility and people. The facility was very clean, well organized and staffed. Everyone seemed genuinely interested in the animals under their care. My dog certainly seemed to enjoy her stays (and for a time she was there more than she was at home). She came to know the staff and was always happy to see them. The staff knew her and always treated her so nicely. She was always happy to arrive and just as happy when I came home. While I no longer travel as much, Williamsburg remains the place I trust to take care of my dog. She always seems happy to see the staff and I've been very happy with the service I have received.

I took my Great Pyrenees in for a summer trim, but the outcome was not what I requested…read more Instead of a trim, her coat was shaved very short. The cut is uneven, particularly around her face, which appears choppy and not well blended. Her paws were also not cleaned up to the standard I expected. The areas of greatest concern are her armpit and belly, which were shaved extremely close. Her skin appeared irritated afterward, and there is a small area on her belly that looks consistent with a minor nick from the blade. I spoke with management to address these concerns and am currently requesting a refund based on the result and condition of the grooming. Overall, I am not satisfied with the service provided. If you have a long-haired or double-coated breed, I recommend clearly confirming grooming expectations in advance.

Last Spring we had a trip planned to San Francisco and took our two dogs, Tango and Jack for the…read morepre-screening with Mike and his basset hound. Everyone got along fine and we were all set to board our pups when my wife took ill and couldn't make the trip. I went without her and she was home with our dogs. Flash forward to December. We went to Las Vegas for 3 nights and left Tango and Jack with Mike and Beth. Communication was good and Mike sent us emails with photos and even a short video. The dogs are our "babies" and although we missed them very much, it did a lot to ease our minds about the care they were receiving while we were gone. I can highly recommend Mike and Beth of Howling Good Dog Boarding to anyone who needs to board a fuzzy family member. Now that we've found them, we will always leave the care of our dogs to them when we go out of town. Thank you Mike and Beth for taking such good care of our "boys."

Highly recommend 'Howling Good Dog Boarding'. The process was easy, individualized & professional…read more Michael requires a meet & greet ahead of time (which is a great time to ask tons of questions, see how your dog and his cute Basset Hound interact, and how Mike interacts with your dog). Mike was great about sending me video & picture updates while we were on our trip. He's very knowledgeable about dogs, answered all my questions and my dog, Ozzie left happy and worn out! I felt MUCH better about leaving my best buddy in Mike's hands than at a big boarding facility where there's SO many dogs, so much potential for accidents, and not personalized to your dog. Mike is also insured (for peace of mind) and understands that dogs have quirks (mine has food allergies & separation anxiety). I'd give him 10 stars, if I could! We will be back!

I asked if there was anything I could do for her to write a recommendation : so here it is..Daryn…read morehas been taking care of my two dogs and cat for over three years now. So I just want to say she is the most compassionate and caring person. If you're concerned about who's going to take care of your pet while you're out of town look no further. Always very professional, and courteous. Plus my animals just love her! It gives me such peace of mind when I go out of town, to know that my animals are going to be well taken care of and loved while I am away. She takes pictures of them every day at the conclusion of her walks or feedings.. and sends them to me b/c she knows that I am very anxious about being away from them. I just can't speak highly enough about her..anyway thanks so Daryn. You're like a part of our little family now.

Pros: she showed up everyday, cost was reasonable. Cons:…read morewater was not refilled for two weeks, it seems that no / minimal attempt was made to find or play with the pet. I traveled internationally for two weeks and needed a pet sitter to care for my cat. I decided on Hailee because the cost was reasonable. Throughout the duration of my vacation I was routinely told that my cat could not be found. It seemed like little to no effort was made to find or play with my cat, luckily my family was able to visit and play with my cat using minimal effort. She filled up food but did not fill up the water in the two weeks leading me to believe that she was unreliable, however she did show up everyday and was able to bring in packages. I will not be using her services again in the future, I do not feel that I can trust her with my pet.
