We had a negative experience at another boarding place in our city so we were hesitant, asked a gazillion questions, and requested a tour prior to leaving them....this place is AMAZING. No cages here! They had their own mini room together, we brought in their dog beds to have a good smell from home while they stayed. There are SEVERAL play areas inside and out with play equipment, there's area for both small and large dogs to keep them segregated if needed. They also offer individual play time if you dogs doesn't play nice with others. There are 2 pools (indoor and outdoor) which my dogs didn't get to use, but I hope they will next time. It's staffed by a bunch of young, kind, energetic animal lovers. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups there and will definitely do it again. The only thing I wish was different was I had hoped there was a live steam or a photo blog of that days guests so we could peek in on our pups while we were gone. No biggie that they didn't have this, it would have just been icing on the cake.

They do not care for the animals! They are not staffed during most business hours. You can only…read morepick up your pet at certain hours during the day. Our dog stayed there recently and best we can tell she was not let out to potty and we had to wait almost an hour for someone to show up in order to pick he up. There were 2 other pet parents waiting also and the person that showed up had no clue, was only there to feed the boarders.

I've had two sitters for my cat, Mango, from A Pause for Paws. These folks are great! I wouldn't…read morepay a friend this much, but I like the attention and flexibility this company offers. I travel for work, sometimes notified at the last minute, and it's so nice to know they're available for me (even if I do e-mail them after their requested 2-week prior window...oops). I appreciate that I'm left notes on each day the sitter visits, with details on Mango's behavior, the state of my apartment, and any concerns they might have that I can follow up on upon my return. From what I read, Mango loves the sitter! It's impressive to me because Mango is a very shy cat and very hesitant to go near strangers, especially anyone who is loud. My sitter, Lisa, must be sweet and soft-spoken for Mango to love her. I feel guilty about leaving Mango when I'm gone, but I'm put at ease by using a sitter. I don't have much experience with hiring pet sitters, but I don't think I could ask for a better one right now. She even sent me a handwritten thank you note for the tip I left her. Also, if you choose to go with APFP, follow them on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/APauseForPaws They post pictures of some of the pets they sit. It's great seeing how Mango is doing even when I'm 1,000+ miles away. All-around a great company, accommodating of my crazy schedule, and wonderful customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a petsitter.

We used the in-home boarding for our dog and our son's dog who we were watching at the time we took…read morea short trip. The boarders name was Lori and she was wonderful, and the dogs did fine at her house. I do not like boarding house dogs where they are kept in rows of kennels, so this was a great option. The reason I only gave this 3 stars is the price. They charge $36 a day PER DOG!! The last kennel we used gave a discount for a 2nd dog in the same family and I wish they would consider something like that. We dropped them off on a Thursday morning, had our daughter pick them up on Sunday at noon because they charge by the hour, and our bill was $259. I also tipped Lori $40 since she only gets a portion of what the company collects. Darn near cost as much as our hotel stay in Chicago for 3 nights! Janis

Staff is incredibly helpful.

Overall, the cost is so much less than back East. They go above above and beyond with COVID-19, curbside service. Special mention to Shelby and Alicia (sp) for making us feel so welcome to Lincoln!

When I checked in, there was a couple picking up their dog and they said they use Trude's all the time and love it. Everything went well and it was a good experience and I'll use Trude's again.

My parents boarded their 2 small dogs for a week while they went on vacation…read more Expecting great service like they had when Trude still was the owner, I know she has passed on now and not sure who owns it now. The motel was given an hour heads-up upon my parents returning to pick up the dogs, to find their legs covered in door feces and soaked in urine. You couldn't even bother to help clean them up even once while they were there??? Their legs were matted with feces!! My parents gave contact information should there be any problems during the dog's stay, but they were never contacted. Upon pickup, the staff said they did great while there. My parents were in shock and rushed the dogs home to bathe immediately and feed as they hardly ate during their stay. My parents had to take the 15 year old, otherwise generally healthy, shitzu to the vet asap the next day as he was very lethargic and almost did not recover from the week's stay at Trude's. Maybe if your dog is large and spends a fair amount of time outdoors normally might you have a decent experience. You would think with a veterinarian on site that they would take more pride in their services. BE WARNED! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE IF YOU LOVE THEM!!! If I could give negative stars, I would.

Timber Kennels is a place where your pets will get the treatment they deserve while you are away on…read morevacation. Nestled on a country farm, this is a home away from home for your canine companions. Each individual suite is climate controlled, but your pet always has access to the outdoors. The place somewhat reminds me of a log cabin when you walk in, but way more spacious. The interior is decorated, minimally, with old barn wood. It looks really rustic, but very clean. You can't even tell it is a hotel for dogs because you can't really smell dogs. Not only will your pet get a place to sleep at night, but you can also include training, walks, and baths for them as well. Tyler and Jen, the two who operate this facility, are super friendly, helpful, and are very knowledgeable in the care of animals. If you need to find a place for your pet, look no further. I would highly recommend Timber Kennels.
