    We had to find boarding for our 3 dogs in short order as we had a family emergency out of town…read more None of the dogs had ever been boarded before so we were a little nervous on how they would do. We checked out Kritter Kare's Howliday Inn and a few other places near us on a Tuesday and the dogs had to be boarded starting Wednesday. We choose to use the Howliday Inn and I'm glad we did. The facility is clean, modern and welcoming. The 3 staff members we interacted with with were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. There is a large inside common area for the doggy day care and at least 3 outside play yards. I was shown two boarding areas and we were able to keep our 3 dogs together in one area which really seemed to help with any anxiousness they had about the new and unexpected situation. They were super accommodating to our needs of a very early drop off and a very late pick up due to the last-minute out of town travel. They communicated with me after the drop-off, providing updates and even pics on how the dogs were doing. The rates were fair/comparable and communicated up-front . The short story is the dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time. I certainly recommend this business and will use it again if we need to board any or all of our dogs again. BTW - they also offer day sitting/playtime and additional services that can be performed while your dog is boarded such as grooming and nail care. Thanks to Jen and her staff for helping out in a hectic time and we're so happy that everything worked out great for the dogs.

She loves playing with the other dogs and the long walks they take her on. I love the report card I get daily when I am away. It gives me peace of mind with pictures showing me how much fun she is having. Thank you Howliday workers for loving Dottie as much as I do! I wouldn't choose anyone else with her care!

    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!

I had to take the dog to another place in Vegas to be trained, for another $5k. Zach refuses to return any money. They dog Wasn't even registered. He is a fraud. Please don't do ANY business with him. He will block you and quit communicating.

    I'm not one to leave reviews, ever, but our first kenneling experience has left us never wanting to…read morekennel our dog ever again. It started on Friday, June 19th, when I dropped my 8 month old Husky-German Shepherd off. I waited in my car and watch as he trained another husky. When I entered the building Zach said "Sorry about that. Huskies are fine until they don't listen, then I'm just an asshole." Red flag one, which should have made me turn around and leave. Furthermore: I left instructions online for medication and food administration and in person we verbally talked about it. All he had to do was give 1 pill. That's all. We decided to leave our trip early and come home late Saturday night, the next day. We asked if my mom could pick her up at 8 pm, the response was no. So we asked when the earliest we could get her Sunday was, which was 10 am. We thought that's fine, we will get there right at 10. When we got there at 10 on Sunday morning she was happy to see us, of course! We asked how she was and he said good. He then proceeded to say, when she got out of the kennel this morning she had peed as he let her out, so I apologized if she smelled. Thinking to myself, well that's okay she wasn't in it or anything so she can't smell that bad. He said he sprayed his "magical spray" on her to make her smell better and kill bacteria. He asked if she smelled but it's hard to tell when you're in a dog kennel that smells like dog regardless. We asked how play time on Saturday went and his response was "It didn't happen because my mom decided Father's Day was that day". So we grab her bag and leave and we get in the truck and are isolated from the dog smell and all we smell is urine. We had to immediately take her home and give her a bath because she smelled horrible. Her whole body- tail, TOP of her head, collar (which i washed friday- so I know it was clean), belly, back, literally everything!! So there is no way she just happened to be right then So as we drove home, I opened her bag and low and behold there was her medication pill I had asked to be given. One pill. How hard can it be? So in the 40 hours our dog was kenneled, after a fresh bath beforehand: she came home smelling like urine requiring two baths, not been given her medication, and what sounds like minimal contact or socialization all weekend. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

    I asked if there was anything I could do for her to write a recommendation : so here it is..Daryn…read morehas been taking care of my two dogs and cat for over three years now. So I just want to say she is the most compassionate and caring person. If you're concerned about who's going to take care of your pet while you're out of town look no further. Always very professional, and courteous. Plus my animals just love her! It gives me such peace of mind when I go out of town, to know that my animals are going to be well taken care of and loved while I am away. She takes pictures of them every day at the conclusion of her walks or feedings.. and sends them to me b/c she knows that I am very anxious about being away from them. I just can't speak highly enough about her..anyway thanks so Daryn. You're like a part of our little family now.

    Pros: she showed up everyday, cost was reasonable. Cons:…read morewater was not refilled for two weeks, it seems that no / minimal attempt was made to find or play with the pet. I traveled internationally for two weeks and needed a pet sitter to care for my cat. I decided on Hailee because the cost was reasonable. Throughout the duration of my vacation I was routinely told that my cat could not be found. It seemed like little to no effort was made to find or play with my cat, luckily my family was able to visit and play with my cat using minimal effort. She filled up food but did not fill up the water in the two weeks leading me to believe that she was unreliable, however she did show up everyday and was able to bring in packages. I will not be using her services again in the future, I do not feel that I can trust her with my pet.
