This place is awesome. It’s off the beaten path and a nice serene location to board your pets. I’ve boarded my cats and dogs here and I would describe myself as an overprotective pet parent. I particularly was concerned about boarding my older pets that had not previously been boarded or had less than ideal experiences. Caroline gave individualized attention to my pets and provided some wonderful photos which made me fret much less about leaving my babies. The facility is obviously clean and well cared for and they have VIP play time to get your pets out to play in a private yard. My dogs loved the personalized attention, one of my dogs loves people but really isn't a fan of open playing at cage free care facilities so this seems ideal for him.
The cat facilities are also really nice, it's quiet and clean, the suites have access to windows in the sun so I feel like my cats just take the opportunity to bask for their stays here.
This place is also really attentive to pets needs. They consistently make sure they have all the up to date records, feeding schedule, and medications. I feel like I know I am passing off to people who care about continuing my pets routine in my absence. It's also an absolute steal rate wise, I would happily pay more for the care my pets get (I have with other facilities and rover which were varying degrees of stressful to straight terrible experiences). Overall, really great care with people who take their business seriously, and at a great price.

We placed our Brittany and Malamute for 4 days. We had previewed the kennel beforehand with our dogs and were impressed with the cleanliness. I wish I knew what happened to my 2 yr old Malamute who came home despondent and injured after 4 days of their “care”. They never even noticed the bite mark on his face and he never received the extra “play yard” time that we repeatedly requested.
Their response was, “we didn’t charge you for it”.
Our 1st and LAST experience with this kennel.

I having been taking my oldest dog here for over 10years. Everyone is great. They get to know the dogs and their personalities. They even noticed my little dog eating a little slower than usual and checked on her (she started this at home and I thought it was great they noticed). They wash the dogs bed covers if they get dirty, they give me cute pictures from my dogs play time, you can tell they really care about our pets. Make sure to book early, they book up quick. Great kennel and staff!!

My dog loves to swim and this is her favorite place! Whether a beginner or an expert it's amazing since half the pool is shallow and half is deep. It's always clean (you can even go in with them!) and there's always plenty of staff there keeping the dogs happy and friendly!
