What Reviews Say

46 reviews analyzed

The facility is highly regarded for its exceptional grooming services and a staff that is frequently described as kind, professional, and attentive. While the majority of boarders report happy, well-cared-for pets and appreciate the indoor/outdoor kennel setups, a small but significant cluster of negative reviews highlights serious concerns regarding dogs returning home smelling of urine and potential lapses in following feeding instructions.
