They have a big dog room and a little dog room. My dogs are a 35-40 lbs, so they started them out in the little dog room, but now they're in the big dog room and they do great there. My only critique is I wish their webcam was better when I peak in on my dogs, but I understand that a lot of that has to do with the website's performance and really isn't up to them. It's definitely not a deal breaker though and we never have any concerns about leaving our dogs with them.

I know I wrote a review here at the beginning of the year and not sure where it went so I'm…read morerewriting it!! I brought my dogs here at Christmas time last year so I could visit grandchildren and it was an out-of-the-way last minute thing since the normal place I go was completely booked up and just could not even budge one dog. So I came here and my experience was very good. My dogs all boarded together and I paid for the playtime once a day and everything went really well. I was really happy that they told me when I left that the dogs were really good dogs and easy to take care of that made me feel really, really good. I have gone back to my usual place, but I am definitely considering coming back here again because they offered the dogs some playtime and where I go does not. Again, the experience was good. The hotel was clean and well maintained, and the dogs seemed very happy when they came home. All in all good.

The price is great and communication is fantastic now that she has moved to text messaging for appointments!

I would leave a zero if I could. we used the boarding facility with dog training. We told her a dog…read morehad anxiety and what we really wanted was training everyday. My dog was taken into the boarding area which is nice enough with heated floors. As our dog was walking through the door her little dogs came charging at him (behind fencing) and Started our dog. Then our dog was put into a kennel surrounded by 3 other kennels and my dog freaked out. So we told her this wasn't going to work and she moved him to the other side of the room which was better for him. I wasn't so sure if this was a good place for him and told her if there was any problems to call us ASAP. We called her later to check in and she said he was fine. When we returned after 7 days we found out he had been stressed all week, had diarrhea and she didn't want him back. I asked her if had had any training or any exercise outside and she said NO. I also asked her why she didn't call us because I don't want my dog going through this - she said oh I didn't think you had anyway to take him!!!! when she knew our other dog was home and we wanted Marley to come stay and get training!!! So our dog was locked up for a week - stressed out . I told her I just want my dog now - when I went in the back he was back into the kennel that was in the middle of all the other dogs - the one that he was moved out of before. I'm guessing she didn't want to walk across the room to feed him. My dog is so messed up right now due to this abuse!!!! Btw the 2 times I was there while all the dogs were stressed (due to her little dogs) she never once tried to console any of them!!! I can't imagine her being a good dog trainer seeing how she treated my dog, or the lack of empathy I saw for the other dogs there. I suppose if you just want your dogs locked in a kennel this is the place to go.
