What Reviews Say
72 reviews analyzedDoggydo Kennel is highly regarded for its 'home away from home' atmosphere, with particular praise for the staff's ability to handle dogs with anxiety and the frequent Facebook photo updates. While the return of the original owner (Bev) has been celebrated by long-term clients, recent policy changes requiring dogs to be 'regulars' for boarding have caused significant frustration among occasional users. Overall, dogs appear exceptionally well-exercised and happy, though potential clients should be aware of strict pickup windows and booking priorities.
