They can get all of the tasks done in a short time if necessary, but sometimes we even book extra time just so they can spend more time playing and petting. They usually send the same sitter, but when they have to send someone else they make sure to do a meet and greet so everyone is comfortable, including Rebel. Rebel loves her "Bunnysitters", especially Bridget and Maria, and we love them too because they keep her out of trouble and keep us updated with lots of photos during our time away!

DiDió K-9 Country Klub has been my family's go-to boarding spot ever since we started owning Golden…read moreRetrievers (about 20 years). So far, we've had 3 Goldens, who all enjoyed their "vacations" here during our out-of-town visits. I will admit, there was some reluctant paw skidding, but all dogs obliged. One of our dogs would always happily trot in and leap up onto the check-in desk to say "hello" to the receptionist. Well, mostly to use her cuteness to score a doggie biscuit... DiDió's facilities feature 100 *fantabulous* kennel suites -- which all have an doorway leading outdoors (a "run") to a covered patio. It's perfect for dogs who like to dash between going "in" or "out". Their grounds are truly breathtaking with lush greenery, expansive lawns, and large courtyards for puppy-playtime! Bob, who owns the place, is an extremely warm and friendly person. If you glance up at the walls, you'll notice a bunch of photos and awards up there. If you talk to Bob, you'll find out his rich background in the dog world (he's a retired dog handler!). As well as boarding, DiDió also offers awesome grooming services, which a lady named Susan does beautifully. Each time one of our Goldens comes in to get their hair and nails did, they return smelling of sweet shampoo and adorned with an adorable bandana around their neck (they've even do seasonal themes!). DiDió truly stole my heart when they catered to our late-Golden (RIP), who was terribly frightened by thunderstorms. All and all, this jewel of a boarding facility is off the beaten path, but I promise your furry friend will leave wagging their tail! PS: They also board cats and birds!

They welcomed Rocko with caress making him feel comfortable as well as myself. They took their time to learn about his personality and routine. There was positive energy throughout the facility, which was spotless and smelled amazing. I appreciate the pictures and the report card that was given to me at pickup. When they were bringing Rocko to me he wanted to go back and play which said it all that he had a blast! When he got to the truck he was happy and tired which was a good thing, he slept all night. I can't say enough about this place but bring your fur baby you will be glad you did!

Also back nails matted and not ground as they had said they had done. Our poor little princess. Called to tell facility not expecting anything- and that is exactly what I got- the man that I spoke to told me that this was not something that could have happened and seemed less than concerned about what had occurred at his salon but that it must just be something wrong with my dog. Never offered to refund or even comforting words at all- so we got from here was a dog with razor burn, cut under her arm, over perfumed and now scared of grooming for $50! Won't go back and will discourage anyone that ask to do the same.

She always goes over and beyond to make sure that my 2 dogs are happy and comfortable. Oreo and Luna love spending time with Laura, especially Luna who gets excited when she sees Laura because she knows she gets to snuggle and sit on Laura's lap and watch a movie on her laptop. Laura always checks in a least once or twice a day, sending nice text updates and pictures. Thank you Laura
