Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Reviewers consistently praised the friendly, caring staff and the peace of mind they felt leaving pets in their care, with many long‑term clients returning for years. Pets—especially anxious or reactive dogs—were often reported as well managed, happy, and excited to visit, with large fenced yards, individual runs, and options like extra playtime and daycare. The setting is described as beautiful and clean, the cat area is in a separate building, and communication (including quick email replies) was frequently noted as responsive. Many also highlighted good grooming results, including successful lion cuts for difficult cats.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
A minority of reviews raised serious safety concerns, including reports of dogs being injured or dying while boarding and allegations of rough handling, as well as criticism that collars were not removed during play. Grooming quality was described as inconsistent by some, with a few poor or uneven shaves and one report of injury. A handful of reviewers felt the facilities were loud, small, or not well sanitised, and a strict checkout policy (charging after 1 p.m.) drew complaints. While most feedback was positive, a few owners wished for photo/text updates during stays.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- Ask for a tour in advance to see the runs, yards, and the separate cat building, and confirm it suits your pet’s needs.
- Discuss collar and safety policies (e.g., removal or quick‑release collars during yard time) before boarding.
- If your dog is reactive or anxious, disclose details at booking and request individual run/yard time and handling notes.
- Clarify drop‑off and checkout times and fees (after‑1 p.m. charges) to avoid unexpected costs.
- For grooming, be specific about the cut you want (bring photos) and confirm which groomer will handle your pet.
