What Reviews Say

13 reviews analyzed

Llama Palooza Ranch is highly regarded as a unique, 'organic' boarding experience where dogs can socialize with farm animals and enjoy large outdoor spaces. While most customers praise the owner, Pamela, for her passion and the facility's cleanliness, some find the strict drop-off/pick-up windows inconvenient and costly. Overall, it is a top choice for high-energy or social dogs, though one reviewer raised a serious but unverified concern regarding animal containment.

Worth noting

Allegation of animals escaping the property

β€œThe animals hate it so much they escape and hide in neighboring houses.”

Inconvenient drop-off/pick-up hours

β€œWe find the limited drop off and pick up hours rarely meet our needs and so end up paying for 1-2 days extra”

Unprofessional phone etiquette

β€œPamela was super. Unprofessional over the phone she started to give me attitude & hung up”
