The staff were very friendly and professional. The prices were very reasonable and we were so happy to see that our pooch was having fun while we were! The kennel posts pictures of the dogs at play on their facebook page so you can see the fun your dog is having while s/he is staying there. The only downside if you can call it that is that on a holiday weekend the hours to pickup/drop off are limited but that is made clear up front and they are helpful and accommodating nonetheless. The grooming our dog had when we picked him up was also terrific. Highly recommended!

I definitely would not board my dog here again. We boarded our dog for 2 nights and in hindsight we…read moreshould have paid for play time during the day but it would not have mattered much. If you do not pay for extra the dogs only get walked 3 times a day for less than 5 minutes and no attention is paid to them. Even with play time during the day after 5:30 they do not get walked again or checked on it seems till 13 hours later at 6:30 the next morning. When we picked up our dog the place was barren outside and the play rooms looked pretty empty just sounds of howling dogs in cages. I asked how many dogs they had at that time and the worker said about 50, plus cats. No dogs playing outside, barely any playing inside, and only 3 people working for all of those dogs. We had a live feed of our dog and could see the dog next to it and it got sick in its cage and was not attended to for at least an hour. We also arrived at 12 PM like we were told and they tried to charge us an extra $60 for "late checkout" because it was after 11 AM.

When she arrived she was lively, sweet, cuddly and eager. When I picked her up she had lost 4 lbs, had bald spots from either self-harm or rubbing against a crate that was too small. The owner then handed me a black trash bag that contained the remnants of my sweet dog's bed- it was shredded to pieces (either my dog was so upset that she tattered her own bed for the first and only time ever or another dog was so close and aggressive that she had to witness it). The trash bag also weighed close to 15lbs due to the amount of urine that was soaked in it. It took my Russell nearly 2 weeks to settle back into a peaceful way of life. Clearly she had not been given the opportunity to relieve herself in an appropriate setting, let alone walk for any distance. If I had the ability to drive back and board up the doors to this animal hell-hole myself I absolutely would. NEVER EVER TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR BELOVED PETS.

I left…read moremy dog here (lab mix) for 3 days and when I got him back he had lost hair and I could tell he had not been eating. He smelled of urine and the moment I got him outside he peed for 3 minutes and poo'd 4-5 times as though he had been holding it the whole time. My cousins dog was in a similar shape and had destroyed and urinated on her own bed. You aren't able to see where they put the dogs and i don't believe they have access to an outside run. I won't be using this kennel in the future.

We had her for two months and she was still so skittish and shy when we decided to try to bring her to Hounds Town. The staff is amazing and really understands that every dog is different and has their own needs. The first time we brought her, I almost didn't leave her because she looked so sad and scared when I was leaving. The second time I brought her she still looked back at me but it wasn't as bad. By the third time, she was pulling me into the building and did not look back at me at all when I left. Tail wagging and wiggle butts every time now! The staff remembers her name every time and they truly love to see her come in. She has blossomed under their care and is no longer the shy, scared pup she once was. We look forward to the "paw-ties" they throw and the fun photos and "paintings" she gets sent home with. She gets spa treatments (baths and nails)! I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun, safe environment for their dog to enjoy!

I feel so fortunate to have found Paws First, which gives me the option to have my pets cared for in their own home. The ability to book online makes arranging for pet sitting so easy and convenient. Response time is always very quick, and the rates are reasonable for the peace of mind these people provide. I love getting email updates on how my dogs are doing. Even when they're naughty and get into the trash or have a little accident, everything is in order when I get home and my dogs are happy and loved. **Need to add an update because of one visit in particular. It has taken me a while to be able to write this. Over the Summer, I had the amazing folks from Paws First watching my dogs while I was away for the weekend out of state. My senior dog's health had been in decline for a while, but it didn't seem to be cause for too much concern- just typical old dog stuff. One night, her health took a very sudden and dramatic turn. It was clear that if she were brought in to the the vet that she would not be returning. I didn't want my old girl's last moments to be spent someplace unfamiliar. The staff at Paws First went above and beyond to provide extra care and comfort to her when she needed it most so I could race home to be with her. I am forever grateful for all they did for her.

They actively prey on the love you have for your pet, knowing you will do whatever it takes to help them, and they use that vulnerability to financially destroy you. The price gouging is so severe, so calculated, and so shameless that it feels like outright extortion. ​This is especially true with their medications. It is absolutely sickening how they hold your pet's health hostage by charging astronomical, unjustifiable markups on life-saving medicine that costs a fraction of the price anywhere else. They know your animal needs it to survive or be out of pain, and they use that exact desperation to line their own pockets. Every single basic necessity is marked up to a disgusting degree while they casually tally up a bill that leaves you gasping. ​You go to a vet expecting comfort, compassion, and urgent medical care. Instead, leaving this place just leaves you feeling completely hollow, sick to your stomach, and utterly robbed. It is a devastating realization that the people you trusted with your helpless animal couldn't care less about whether they live or die, as long as the invoice is paid. ​They are a soulless, greedy operation running a racket on terrified pet owners. Please, I am begging anyone reading this, do not take your animals here. Save yourself the heartbreak, the trauma, and the financial ruin. Go to a vet who actually has a heart.
