I was initially impressed with the reviews and when I contacted (I believe the daughter?) she was extremely sweet and informative about the services regarding boarding. I had been looking for a place like this to board my 1 year old goofy Doberman rather than a kennel. The daughter (I'm sorry I can't remember her name) was very helpful and ensured me my dog would be in good hands. I had informed her from the beginning about the breed and high level of energy he is. She did not hesitate, and said he would be more than welcomed since they would be able to handle him regarding as she has an Australian shepherd she could relate to. I honestly felt relieved and happy knowing he would be in great hands.
We went to go make an initial visit to check the place out and see how he would do with the other dogs, this was a week before I had to leave out of town, no problem. The location is a house which I was fine with but was much smaller than expected. Theresa (the mother I assume) opened the door and had a worried look on her face. From that moment on, everything felt off. She was worried about high energy he was and wasn't sure how it would work. She asked if he eventually calms down and just seemed worried the entire time.
I have NEVER felt this uncomfortable with someone regarding my dog. I was told he would be in good hands and now I was there seeing the opposite.
She said so herself that it probably wouldn't work out but if I couldn't find another place then she offered to take him in anyway..
Honestly, I was already upset that there was no way I was going to leave him there with that first visit and having to be worried how my dog would be welcomed. We immediately left and was never contacted from that day.
Heads up, ask about what breeds, and levels of energy they accept. This place is way more suited for older, and small dogs..
