What Reviews Say

24 reviews analyzed

Waldorf Kennels receives predominantly positive feedback for caring staff, dogs appearing happy and comfortable, individual outdoor access or activities, and repeat use. A minority of older reviews raise concerns about holiday pricing and reservation policies, pet distress or illness after stays, and perceived liability handling. Owner responses are limited to two older negative reviews and are detailed, professional, and somewhat defensive.
