When you call, you'll likely get their voicemail. It's alright though, they all check the voicemail or email in between chores and respond right then. Us, and our dogs are aaaaalways met with enthusiasm. When we were away for a week, they wrote us emails to just let's us know how they were doing. For myself, at least, I appreciated this, a lot, as we were first time Doggie Day Care peeps. When they go overnight or just for the day, our dogs come home wiped out, lol. Which is the main reason we send them there. We decided to try the grooming services they offer this last time. Holy cow, you guys! We've tried 3 other places and no one could do it! And she did it! Like a champ! We are so very impressed with this buisiness as a whole and will continue to do business with them, as well as share our experience. Thank you TLC Kennels!

AK TLC Kennels is behind Builders Bargains on the Parks Hwy near Trunk Rd…read more We have 2 dogs (both husky rott mixes) that LOVE going to the kennel here. (Our previous 2 dogs loved going here too as they have a "geriatric" room that is quieter and sectioned off from the main part of the kennel so it's a bit quieter for the older dogs). The runs are good sized, we keep our 2 dogs together in 1 run, as many people do. They get beds that are raised up off the floor, and blankets. I think they will also give them toys to have in the run, but we have 1 that will ingest stuff like that so we skip that part. Debbie and her staff are great with the dogs and are always happy to see them when they arrive. They offer grooming and also have a separate room for boarding cats. One of my dogs has a thing about having his toes touched, so we rarely get to trim his nails at home. We've tried at the vets office too, but someone is usually holding him down and there is a lot of flailing and almost no nail trimming. I asked TLC to trim his nails several trips ago and they said he LOVES it when they do it and has no issues, so now that is part of his trip to the kennel as well. Dogs are taken out to several fenced play yards a few times a day. Mine always come home exhausted. I love TLC Kennel and wouldn't take my dogs (my children) anywhere else.

I have been using TLC kennel for the last year. Last Spring I had a 19 year old Kitty, that passed…read moreaway, while I was gone. Because he was at the end stage of his life, they took special care of him, keeping him basically on one on one care. He passed while I was on vacation. TLC contacted me immediately, and were so amazingly compassionate, and offered to take him to cremation place of no extra cost. Recently, my ridgeback, Ozzie was at TLC while I was in Europe, and they rushed him to emergency vets, due to unforeseen emergency related to his stomach constricting, resulting in a life or death situation. It was recognized immediately, and he was immediately taken vet. His life threatening condition ended well thank you to TLC!! They kept Ozzie in cuddle room after his surgery the rest of his stay, and was totally pampered. TLC are passionate about caring for your pet for their individual needs, and very knowledgeable related to safety. Highly recommend TLC!! You know your in a great Kennel when you arrive, and your pets are eager to be there, instead of, oh no Mom, your leaving me, as your are trying to coach them inside. My 2 dogs love being there. That makes it so much more reassuring leaving them behind.

This is the best pet boarding facility in Alaska. Our twins have stayed here multiple times and…read moreit's well worth the drive from Anchorage. We have total peace of mind while our boys are here. We love that the staff sends us photo updates and that they get to spend a lot of time outside playing. On their most recent stay, we also booked some newly offered spa services. The boys got baths and nail trims. They smell so fresh and have the cutest little bandanas on, and remarkably, their nail trims were successful. I don't know how the staff did it, but Amos has never successfully had his nails trimmed anywhere else. He is a shy dog and he gets grumpy about his nails, so I think it speaks volumes to the level of trust the staff built with him in just a week. Pretty amazing! If you need to board a pet, Lakeside Pet Retreat is a must.

I was looking for last minute boarding and heard good things about the place so I scheduled a meet…read more& greet. First of all, the paperwork is 8 pages per dog...I don't even fill out vet paperwork that long. Secondly, they have a 3 step long process "to be accepted" to board with them, so if you work full time- good luck. During this meet & greet, I was spoken to (or lectured) like a 12 year old by the owner, Tim, regarding my dog's separation anxiety while separated from the my other dog in the car. I was also swiftly lectured about both the vet's and my decision to wait a little longer to neuter our 8mo old puppy. Overall did not appreciate the interrogation style this owner took with me. I doubt he would have taken this aggressive and lecturing tone with my husband, but we'll never know because he was so rude and dismissive of me. Though I do not doubt his plethora of knowledge about dogs, but what he has in knowledge he lacks in people skills.

You can tell immediately that she loves animals. Highly recommend.
