Last Spring we had a trip planned to San Francisco and took our two dogs, Tango and Jack for the…read morepre-screening with Mike and his basset hound. Everyone got along fine and we were all set to board our pups when my wife took ill and couldn't make the trip. I went without her and she was home with our dogs. Flash forward to December. We went to Las Vegas for 3 nights and left Tango and Jack with Mike and Beth. Communication was good and Mike sent us emails with photos and even a short video. The dogs are our "babies" and although we missed them very much, it did a lot to ease our minds about the care they were receiving while we were gone. I can highly recommend Mike and Beth of Howling Good Dog Boarding to anyone who needs to board a fuzzy family member. Now that we've found them, we will always leave the care of our dogs to them when we go out of town. Thank you Mike and Beth for taking such good care of our "boys."

Highly recommend 'Howling Good Dog Boarding'. The process was easy, individualized & professional…read more Michael requires a meet & greet ahead of time (which is a great time to ask tons of questions, see how your dog and his cute Basset Hound interact, and how Mike interacts with your dog). Mike was great about sending me video & picture updates while we were on our trip. He's very knowledgeable about dogs, answered all my questions and my dog, Ozzie left happy and worn out! I felt MUCH better about leaving my best buddy in Mike's hands than at a big boarding facility where there's SO many dogs, so much potential for accidents, and not personalized to your dog. Mike is also insured (for peace of mind) and understands that dogs have quirks (mine has food allergies & separation anxiety). I'd give him 10 stars, if I could! We will be back!

We've used Camp Bow Wow before in Arizona, and loved the experience then - never had any issues and…read morethey loved our pup so much. Because we are needing to board our little guy for a bit, we had to do a trial day to see how he was going to do. And he did great, lol. We watched on the live feed how uninterested he was in doing dog things and just lied down with two other puppies. We then booked him a two night stay, and upon pick up, he was ready to go! We opted for him to get a bath before our scheduled pick up so he was nice and fluffy for us! Daetheon was very helpful and cordial! He let me know his experience with my little guy. We like the team so far here and look forward to more playtime here!

I wish I could leave separate ratings for grooming and daycare. So please know they are two very…read moredifferent things. First, the very bad: the grooming. (This happened in June but I'm just now getting this posted.) Our household currently has three doodles. We had an appointment scheduled to take all of them at the same time. I talked to the groomer, who said that she was fine with it, and that would be a full day's grooming for her. We dropped off the dogs, and the groomer didn't show up. CBW was VERY NICE about it. They finally reached the groomer, who rescheduled the groomings for another day. CBW also offered to do the groomings at no cost, which was very generous. We took the dogs back the next week. When we got them home and looked them over, we were extremely disappointed at the quality of their cuts. They were so uneven and choppy. One of the dogs apparently hadn't been finished as her face wasn't done. Another dog didn't really seem trimmed at all. None of them had their nails done. I ended up talking with the manager about the poor quality of the cuts. Fortunately, we hadn't had to pay for the cuts. I would never return there for a cut nor would I recommend them as long as the groomer whose name starts with D is working there. Even if the grooming was free. (I ended up grooming all three dogs myself.) Now the very good: the daycare seems to be very good: our three dogs have spent just one day there so far (we will take advantage of their service more) and two of the three thoroughly enjoyed it. Dropping them off and picking them up was easy, with convenient parking. Our dogs did well. The tiny introvert just sat under a cubby hole most of the time, just like she does at home. Later, when fewer dogs were around, she did come out a bit, which was a good sign. CBW has cameras on so you can obsessively watch your puppers all day (except on rest breaks) which is cool. Our doggos came home happy and tired. We will definitely be taking them back, and I think even the little one will enjoy it, although she'll never admit it. They do have a calendar of special events and days where dogs can get a bath for a discount.
