Our dog is reactive, can be aggressive, and doesn't warm up to people easily. Finding someone we…read moretrusted felt impossible. Then we found Deena. She has been an absolute godsend. Her patience, calm demeanor, and genuine love for animals are evident in everything she does. She took the time to understand our dog, respected his boundaries, and earned his trust in a way very few people ever have. Because of Deena, I'm able to work outside the home and even take vacations knowing my dog is safe, loved, and cared for like one of her own. That peace of mind is priceless. What started as a dog sitter relationship has turned into so much more. Deena has become my dog's biggest advocate and one of my dear friends. We are forever grateful for her kindness, dedication, and the love she gives our pup every single day. If you're looking for someone to care for your pet, especially one with special needs or behavioral challenges, I cannot recommend Deena highly enough.

They are knowledgeable about pets. They are professional and thorough in communicating with us. We couldn't hope for better service providers. And we will use them in the future. The set up is easy.

Our dog walker, Doris, even tried brushing out our heavily shedding chow mix who does not like being brushed.

The staff is professional, the facility is clean. They house the cats in a separate area from the dogs of course and the cats have their own large cage with a litterbox and bowl of water that's changed daily and two separate perches for them to hop onto. They offer and provide a warm meal for your cat if you don't bring your own food. My cat loves his Fancy Feast grilled wet food and temptation treats so I packed that for his stay which the staff happily gave him. The staff is accommodating to pet's needs so please discuss those concerns with them. To help him feel comfortable with his stay away from home i provided his own small blanket and it was placed into the cage. You don't need to bring your own feeding/water bowls Anchors Kennel provides that. I called almost every day to speak with a staff member who was familiar with my cat and how he was handling the stay. The rates are super affordable the best in the DMV area! You must be current on your pet's immunizations and show proof otherwise you will be denied care at the facility. A pet report card is given at the time of checkout (so cute) about behavior, feeding times, how well pet interacted with staff etc...

https://nextdoor.com/p/KmMRw7sbymLG?utm_source=share&extras=MTUzMTQwMDE%3D…read more I am writing this review to make people aware that this may not be the best place to board your pets. We boarded our labrador retriever mix Hank for five days. When I picked him up I was notified that he barely ate the entire time he was there and then when I had already checked him out and was walking him to the vehicle, the girl that checked me out comes running out and says "oh I just wanted to inform you that your dogs testicles are a little chafed". And she said "we rubbed balm on them and you should continue to do that". She said that "he spilled little drops of water in his kennel and laid in it and that is what caused this chafing". So I figured it was just a little chafing as she said and Hank was excited so I didn't even look at it at the time. But when I got home I noticed him limping and so I was looking around to find out why he was limping and it was because his testicles were so red and inflamed and irritated and he was in so much pain that he was whimpering. I called Anchors to speak with someone and was told that this happened because Hank chose to lay on the floor and the moisture that is on the floor causes this problem. They basically shrugged it off as not being a big deal and not taking any responsibility for it. Later on when I went to clean Hanks testicles off and he continued to whine when I did it, I became really angry and called back. I was calm and matter-of-fact when I began to speak with one of the owners Princ (who was the person I spoke with the first time I called). I asked him why I wasn't notified of both my dog not eating hardly anything the entire time that he was there and also that I wasn't called when they noticed the severe irritation on his testicles. I was told that this wasn't a life-threatening emergency so they didn't call me. He did not apologize. He did not ask how Hank was doing. All he did was try to defend his actions. I asked why I wasn't notified when they first noticed the irritation. He said because they didn't notice it right away. My question to him was that if he is aware that this is something that happens and he seen that Hank is laying on the floor and there's moisture on the floor, then why not check for these things? Someone has to go in and feed them daily and supposedly take care of them, so why not check for these sort of things. He continued to defend himself by saying Hanks testicles weren't facing them when they went in to check on him previous times so they did not notice it. Princ basically dismissed my question of why it's not something that is monitored closely if it is something that can occur that they are aware of. This could have very well been a life-threatening emergency if Hank acquired an infection. This was very likely a possibility due to the severity of his injury. But no matter what I said to Princ, he just defended it time after time. He took no responsibility for what happened to Hank. He was very cold and at no time showed any concern for the painful condition Hank acquired while being under his care. This was a case of complete neglect. Later when I spoke to the vet and other boarding facilities regarding this matter, I was made aware that it would have either have had to have been urine or disinfectant that would have irritated his testicles to the point of being so raw, red, and painful. That makes sense because you could tell that he had a very strong urine smell when I picked him up and it was attempted to be covered up by someone spraying lots of deodorant spray on him. They also took it upon themselves to treat a very serious wound the wrong way. If moisture is what supposedly created the wound to begin with, then why continue to treat it with more moisture which was the balm they used. The severely irritated wound should have been cleaned and dried. And if they knew that he continue to lay in moisture then that means the condition was going to continue to worsen. And with them knowing full well that this was the case, they still did not contact me. And they still take no responsibility for letting this happen to Hank. I've had two family trips back to back and that is the reason why it's taking me a week to write this review. I had Hank scheduled to be boarded for my second trip but when I called to make sure they had reserved boarding for him, that is when I was notified that he had barely eaten anything while he was there the first five days. So I immediately went and picked him up and that is when this terrible ordeal unfolded. There was no way that I was bringing my dog back to this place to be boarded again so I left him with family. I DO NOT recommend boarding a pet at this facility ever. I would never trust them to look after any living breathing thing that I cared about. They are not responsible, they are not compassionate, they are not trustworthy, and they lack the skills needed to properly care for pets.
