Worth noting

Communication/responsiveness failures - customers unable to reach owner, lost trying to find kennel with no help

Lost trying to find kennel, called owner only to get answer machine. Found kennel, only to see kennel gate closed. Waited 15 - 20 minutes for owner to respond

Dogs potentially left unattended for extended periods during day

It seems dogs are left unattended from 9am to 4 or 5 pm during day, at this kennel.

Booking/policy confusion - unclear cancellation policy, communication gaps(2 mentions)

They state they have a cancellation requirement of 14 days which wasn't made clear to me prior to booking on their website or in communication with Dawn.

Owner demeanor - perceived as rude or defensive(2 mentions)

Owner response was rude, not accommodating, saying we would have to wait til 445 or tomorrow!

Value concerns - perception of high pricing(2 mentions)

They do charge for everything but your dog WILL be taken care of. A bit pricey compared to other kennels, but worth every penny
