This kennel is like discovering Utopia for dogs!! My two Aussies love going, & look so happy and worn out from playtime when we pick them up. We'll be customers for years to come.Alexandria obviously does this more for the love of animals than for the money!! read more

Had a great experience at this kennel recently. I love the check in process and that they come out to your car and help with your dogs. A huge win for me so I don't have to get kids + two wild dogs out of the car by myself. Dogs were happy and healthy upon my return! read more

Great kennel. They always take wonderful care of our two black labs and our dogs look forward to going here. That's when you know you've found a great kennel, when its doggie endorsed. The prices are totally reasonable, and they even give our girls a bath before we pick them up for no extra charge. read more

We would not take our kids anywhere else. They know them and their quirks. My oldest seems to have medical issues all the time and they handle the meds and also have helped us on things we aren't familiar with. Despite having several dogs themselves, they have taken in dogs who were in bad circumstance or even one where the owner had to move to assisted living and couldn't take her big dog. We have one with terrible storm anxiety. They have tv on for them anyway, but bring in loud fans and music...they have some storm anxious pets themselves I would say to book early. They are so good that they don't even need to advertise!! Carolyn and David Parmer read more

The owners seem to be quite nice and the animals seem to enjoy their stay at this "spa for pets". I am sure I will have more to report soon, as we just put a relatives dog here for a yet to be determined duration. I would rate them higher but feel it would be unjustified since I have only had one experience with the two owners. I believe they will earn the last star soon though. read more

I boarded my dog at Deer Run and it was a good experience for my dog. He was there for a week and was happy as could be when I picked him up. The owners were quite nice and seemed to genuinely care for my dog and that he have a good stay. I actually went out and visited the kennel before booking my dogs initial stay and they went through everything that I needed to know and showed me where the dogs stay and what their schedules were like. I also had them give Red a bath on the day I was to pick up and he looked wonderful and they had done a good job with that as well. About the phone situation described earller, yes, they are a bit regimented on times and you generally need to leave a message and I have and they did return my call within a hour each time. I don't consider this a bad thing but I guess some people might. Try getting any business to answer the phone live nowadays is my thought. If you are picky and want to be in touch with your pet constantly or on a moments notice there are other kennels that will even provide a web feed so you can see your dog and you just need to pay their exhorbitant rates for that service. read more

Best Kennel! My dogs have gone there since they opened. Brooke, Trish and staff do an amazing job! Jean and Lou

We've boarded our dog here twice and haven't had any issues. The owner is a dog owner who runs the business because she loves dogs. We were able to see where our dog would be staying and it was a very nice indoor-outdoor run area. The staff was even accommodating about giving my dog medication for an ear infection when she was there last time. It is sometimes hard to reach the staff but every message I've left was returned in within an hour. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to board their dog. read more

We boarded our cat for the first time and were very happy with the excellent care she received. The people were just great!

We have boarded our dog here numerous times and have been very happy with the service. Our dog needs a bit more attention because of how anxious he can be and they have always been so patient and accommodating! "Crazy Lucky" loves the two owners! read more

This is an amazing place, the staff that I found out is all family, are so happy and energetic about their work, I took my lab/pit mix in and he loved it, got to play outside, walks around big fields twice a day, I think we were more happy to see him than he was to see us, but he slept on the car ride home Lola he will be back soon!! read more

We have just moved to Eureka and so decided to give this place a chance. Took my cat to the kennel for the weekend. I requested to see where my cat was supposed to be boarded and they made some dumb excuse about dogs being everywhere and declined my request! That was the first red flag. I have never had that issue at any other boarding places ever! People always show where your pet will be boarded. Second of all they have really strict times when you can call them to check on your pets because they are practically closed over the weekend. That is just something I don't understand. If you are running a boarding business, you need to at least to check your messages and return anxious pet parents' calls. Previous places I have boarded my pets never had issues returning my calls. Plus the staff was sort of rude and "unfriendly". So I am never going back. It is cheap and you are really getting the service that is of course "cheap"!!! Also,some of my cat's favorite toys that I packed with him to play with, are missing from his bag. And I'm very disappointed by that. read more

We found out about this kennel from a colleague who highly recommended it. We have since used this kennel several times and are thoroughly satisfied with them and their ability to handle our dog which does not adapt well to new environments or easily accepting of strangers. The staff at Deer Run are the only people we have found that can groom our wild beast and they do a wonderful job caring for him. We do not have to worry about bringing our dog to them for he seems to enjoy his visits. read more

I have never taken my dog to a kennel where he's actually excited when we pull up! Can't believe it. When I call and identify myself, they don't know who I am until I tell them my dog's name is Geronimo and he's a pug. The grooming is awesome, it's obvious the owners love dogs and it's cheaper than any decent kennel in the area. I was dropping off recently at the same time as a family that drove from South Dakota to leave their dogs with these girls. Unbelievable! This is my pick and I urge everyone to try them out. read more
