| - Had to go out of town and looked for many different places to "board" my dog - he's about the size of a Corgi so he didn't need a lot of space, but I definitely preferred to not keep him in a cage. Petsmart's Petshotel is the only place I found with incredibly reasonable prices for the type of boarding spaces they offered. We got him a large room with a regular glass door - not a cage/crate - that had a cot and a television! We also booked a couple of doggie play dates as well as a frozen treat. We were also able to call up and check on him to make sure he was doing okay.
At the end of his stay, when we picked him up, we got a report card detailing everything he did, including the dogs he played with, how he ate, etc. I loved this! It was just the kind of attention to detail I was looking for. Best of all, I felt good that everyone that worked there seemed to exude a love for animals - it may be crazy for me to assume, but if you want to work with animals, I hope you love animals, and know patience, understanding and compassion.
I know that based off this experience, I would definitely keep them on the top of my list for boarding. And I think it's well worthit getting the bigger space with cot and tv - I know it may seem excessive, but I just never felt comfortable with putting my animals behind "bars." And Petsmart makes this very affordable.
