Have taken my huskies and cat here for years multiple times for boarding and dogs groomed, my experience over Thanksgiving was horrible! My female had to be carried out to car she could not walk and bith dogs had horrible diarrhea and vomiting for 2 weeks they have never had these issues, I feared I was gonna have to put the female down even! It was very apparent they were in crates, they are too big for such and I kniw now they do crate to dry after grooming which is unacceptable I thought they had been blown dry not stuffed in a crate wet to dry!!!! I since found a way better place and the difference in picking them up at new facility was night and day my dogs were healthy and happy in new place! Im horribly disappointed and pissed I have spent thousands there through the years and spoke with a couple folks there about this and not a work back no apologies or explanation! Beware and be very cautious about entrusting your fur babies here for sure!!!! read more

Not what I was expecting. I guess you get what you pay for. But be careful they charge hidden fees at the end. So the quote is not accurate. I got stuck paying an extra $30 and when I asked what it was for all I got was a rude email. Definitely would not recommend or use again. read more

My dogs love it here! They can be wild but these ladies know how to handle them and they come home happy and exhausted from all the play! Highly recommend! read more

So disappointed with the new groomer. I really hate posting this I have been with WC for years but I am so disappointed with things were handled. I had my 12 year old Westie groomed and the new groomer cut her skirt completely off. A phone call from the owner to talk to me would have made a world of difference. I know it will grow back but she's 12 and looked so pretty now she look like a boy with a bad haircut. We won't be back because not only because of the cut but mainly because a return phone call to me after I called with my concern asking to talk to the owner didn't happen. I feel like that was the least I should have gotten since I did call wanting to talk to her and was told by the office staff they would have her call me. No offer to refund which I don't care about the money all I got was an email saying she would talk to the groomer. I'd like to know why!!! Why would someone do that to a dog that obviously has had the same cut for years. I would have appreciate a little more personal concern I mean these four legged animals are our babies and they aren't just a dog. Customer service and addressing concerns is a huge part of business. Seems I'm just a number when I thought I was a good customer. Still upset!! read more

World Class Kennels - Pet Sitting Near Me - Harpersville, Alabama

Don't expect to pay the same price the lady at the desk shows you on her Calculator, and definitely do not pay with a card. If you absolutely have to use this kennel, I recommend paying with cash. Last year I paid a flat rate for eight days, no tax applied. This year I paid a 4% fee for using my credit card, which is fine, but also paid $20 in tax, Totaling almost $30 more than the expected pay. I try to communicate with the owner as to why tax was applied this year, and not last year, and she had the worst attitude. I couldn't believe it. Everyone has a right to know where every penny of their money goes. A businesses best advertisement is word-of-mouth, and this company will never have a good report from me again. All it would have taken is cordial communication. There are plenty of other kennels in the surrounding area, I highly suggest they are used over this one. read more

Emma is a remarkable professional running an exceptional boarding facility. I recommend it highly.

I've used world class kennels twice now and i am completely satisfied. My lab has issues with being left alone. I was assured she would be taken care of. You can tell the staff there are all animal lovers and thats reassuring too. Any time in the future i need to go out of town I'll definitely use world class again. read more

Our girls home away from home! Ee have been using WCK for over 5 years!! Emma and Shane treat them like their own! We love the pick up service and they give the best baths ever! We are currently on an extended time away due to a relocation and trying to get our new house ready for the girls to come home and we take great comfort knowing they are being cared for!! Highly recommend the drive to the country!! read more

I believe I used this place a few years back, the place as I remember it was clean and suitable for our beloved Chocolate Lab, which we never trusted any strangers, she was treated well, clean and our other little dogs the same. I'm planning on going there again in January, Thomas Uwanawich read more

Where is the "BETTER THAN IT GETS" 6-Yelp Star Button? As far as my pups go - They are priority number one when I leave town. Since I have no kids, my dogs are my "kids". They go to work with me. They sit on the sofa and read with me. They like to watch Animal Planet with me. And they sleep with me. I would much rather pay someone the cost of a hotel night's stay to come hang with my babies when I'm away (ALERT all you hungry dog sitters! I'm a SUCKER) than take them to the vet - so when I plan a trip, I factor in 2x the hotel cost just so my fur babies can sleep in my bed. On my recent trip to Turkey, however, the thought of being out of the country, a 14 hour plane trip away, for two weeks, and with not much access to the Homeland made me think twice about having a pet sitter come to the house. What if my dogs escaped the backyard? What if the pet sitter didn't lock the doors when she left? (Cash can open doors, let himself in, grab a beer from the fridge and chill like Ice Cube on the sofa - no lie) What if something happened to them, medically, and I wasn't here? All that made me search for the best place to leave them for the 13 days I was gone. I came up with World Class Kennels in Harpersville, and I couldn't have made a better decision. I live OTMx2 (don't laugh you In Towners! You don't need a passport to get to my hood!), and World Class Kennels is a bit further down 280 - but this place is pretty. Lots of room to roam - and if you're a dog, especially one who was bred to chase lions in South Africa, that's a "good thing". Their kennels are spacious and private - they have concrete walls so all the dogs are not barking back and forth at each other. Each of the kennels has a little cot and blankets (we brought our own bed and woobies - they were in 7th heaven!) They have automatic watering devices - so there's no thirsty-ness going on. We opted for the indoor-outdoor version, which has a little door to the outside yard that they can come in and out of at will. Cash warmed right up to that idea as soon as he got there - in and out and in and out and in and out. They also get to play three times a day in the big yards - they have three separate yards, in case your pup doesn't play well with others. AND - they even have themed rooms (UA and AU, Sylvester and Tweety, Pippi Longstocking), with little beds and stuff in case you have one of those fluffy frou-frou fur babies. All the amenities are wonderful. And the fact that they have choices for play time is great, but when it comes to the lil ones, pet care is important to me. My Beagle has an ear infection (another reason I was hesitant to leave her with someone at the casa). She apparently had quite a flare up while I was away. Sharon Kidd, the owner, called my vet and had meds sent over, and administered them. Since we didn't leave food (my babies aren't picky eaters), she thought that maybe a change in Sunni's diet might help, so she changed her diet, and since it worked, she sent some of her new food home with a note and the name of the local Seed & Feed of where to find it (McEwen's - but that's another review!). She took the time to care about my dogs. When we have to leave them for a weekend at the vet, they come home tired, neurotic and stinky. Cash and Sunni enjoyed their visit - they were well rested, nobody had any eating issues, they smelled like they did when they were dropped off. Their blankets and bed were freshly washed and folded. The BEST part??? I walked in the door from my 24 hour day of traveling at midnight. My fur babies were at my front door, courtesy of their Pet Taxi Service, at 7:30 in the morning while I was making my coffee. Next trip away, my kids are going to World Class!!! read more

I've been using World Class Kennels for approximately eight years and they are absolutely wonderful. Very easy to get a reservation and very accommodating of changes. My dogs love it there! The facilities are spacious and always clean. Definitely worth the drive to Harpersville. Highly recommend! read more

We have used World Class Kennels for both of our Westies and could not be more pleased with the location and service. Even though it is in a country setting, the place is always spotless with no oder of any kind...and that is one of my barometers for pet establishments. We also enjoy the spaciousness of the kennels and the long dog runs to the outside that is gated. In addition, you are given one price without "add-ons" for things that should be a given when boarding. We never have to worry that our pet is not getting the best of care when we are away...and that peace of mind makes for a better vacation. read more
