What Reviews Say

67 reviews analyzed

Pet Shack Resort is highly regarded for its personalized, small-scale approach to boarding, with many long-term clients praising the owner, Leslie, for treating dogs like family. The facility's 24/7 webcam access is a major highlight for anxious owners, though a few reviewers noted the video quality can be grainy. While the vast majority of feedback is glowing, there are occasional friction points regarding strict billing cycles and the owner's tendency to provide lengthy, defensive explanations to negative feedback.
