I have taken my Toby to Villa La Paws several times now. Our experience has been excellent each time. I have tried kenneling options in the past. My dog is very social, and is much happier in the group care environment at Villa La Paws. All of the staff I have met at various time, including early mornings and late at night, always show respect and love for the dogs in their care. When I have to be out of town, it is great to have Villa La Paws available as a second home for my companion.
