What Reviews Say

Almost Home Kennels receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with 80% 5-star ratings. Customers consistently praise the clean facilities, friendly staff who treat pets like family, and excellent communication. Many reviewers are repeat customers who have used the kennel for years. The few negative reviews (4 total) involve pricing disputes, a kennel cough incident, and what appears to be mistaken identity reviews - the owner responds professionally to each. The main limitations noted are no diabetic pet boarding and occasional pricing confusion for short stays.
