Double T Kennels

The staff is sooooooo competent, and on it, and in control, and all about the dogs, and we could go on and on! We are crazy dog people and this is the only place we feel absolutely comfortable leaving our dogs. We started bringing them there last year and it's the first time we've been able to travel without worrying about our dogs the entire trip.now all we do is miss them

I came to Double T based on the recommendation of student who worked for Double T. We have never been disappointed in both the staff and Tina. We booked our two rescue mutts for 2 weeks, but had to come back early because of illness. Never mind that we did - no recrimination, no extra fees - just the same friendly and helpful service we always get.

Our dogs do not come home traumatized as they have from other kennels. We can see where they are kept. It's obvious that everyone likes dogs - and they run a Malamute Rescue as well. What can I say? Good care and caring about the well-being of animals. Thank you, Tina and staff, for all your kindness, thoughtfulness, and more, for being there when we need someone we can trust to take care of our dogs. xoxoxo!

Max, our German Shepherd mix, is always well cared for when he stays with Tina, her staff and other furry friends which gives us such tremendous peace of mind. Double T is top notch!

I read all of the reviews and saw so many good ones and a few negative ones. All I can say is that it was a great experience. I'd never left my boy Prince anywhere before and we thought we were going to be able to take him with us but his car sickness and anxiety were too much to take to Big Bear Lake. Anyway TINA agreed to take him on short notice and board him for 4 days!

I got shutout by all the other kennels because it was too late or because he was not neutered yet. Well Tina said you have a reservation for 4 days and bring him tomorrow! I was so grateful and Tina and Jennifer were so awesome! Thank you Double T Kennels for watching after my son I will only use them now as they were the most accomodating when me and my boy had no one to go to.

My dog smelled like urine I think running on the lawn where all the dogs are peeing. Not for me

If I could give this lady a negative 5 stars, I would. I boarded two very small dogs in July 2020. I asked if she could groom them before I returned from my trip. I came back a day early, and called her that morning the moment the kennell opened, 10am. She not only admitted to boarding my dogs elsewhere, probably because she said her neighbors are furious over dogs barking constantly, but she would not let me pick up the dogs until 6pm that night. (8 hrs after my return. ) because they were nowhere to be found at her property.

I had no choice but to call the police. The police got my dogs back around 330pm. She NEVER said she wasnt keeping my dogs on her property! BTW She only accepts cash, beware! most likely the other place she takes them is not licensed. And the animal control in SV says she can only have 4 dogs max. She had 7 dogs.

Always a great kennel. I started coming here maybe 10 (or 15?) years ago with my German Shepherds and other dogs, and I still find this the best kennel situation possible for a dog. They have big, outdoor covered gravel runs (dogs hate concrete!) which are situated around the large grassy turnout area so the dogs have something to look at during their confinement--so important to them! Prices are very fair, too. If you have to use a kennel, this is the best one around. You needn't feel quite so guilty about going on vacation!

Been taking our dogs here since 2002. If I leave you with my dogs (family) I can pay you no higher compliment of my trust. Love them, you will too.

Great place staff is kind and really cares for the animals. Very accommodating!

Love love LOVE Double T Kennels! I always bring my dog here when I need to go out of town and they are just so loving and caring. They even give your dog a free grooming if they stay for over 2 weeks. My Valkyrie always comes home happy and healthy & I'm so grateful to them! 10/10 would recommend

Just picked up my dog from boarding at Double T Kennels. What a great experience! Layla was obviously well cared for as she didn't want to leave. Alyssa walked us out to our car and even gave Layla extra belly rubs at the car. We were also given a discount because Layla is a rescue.

Let me start off by saying if the owner Tina had handled the situation in a more graceful manner, our outcome would have been differently. We had our 2 pups stay here while we went out of town for a couple days. The facility was clean and they seemed to have had quite a bit of dogs there. It's located in a residential neighborhood right off the freeway.

We started with the paperwork aspect of it, and providing proof of the shots record for both dogs. Since we boarded 2 dogs we got a multi-dog discount which was nice. Well when my husband came back to pick the dogs up, he arrived and an employee was watering the pavement/sidewalk leading up to the office down to clean it. Well he walked through the sidewalk to get the dogs and upon leaving fell down on the property due to the water/slippery floor.

He came home a bit in pain from it and explained to me what had happened. I was in shock that it had happened. Well I called to let Tina know what happened and she became extremely defensive over the phone accusing my husband of lying claiming it couldn't have happened on her property. She was actually yelling at me on the phone. I was shocked that a business owner would respond in such a distasteful manner.

Well if only they had a better safety protocol this wouldn't have happened. When an employee is watering the floor knowing that dog owners are coming for pickup/drop off, to execute a safer way of walking through the property without causing the possibility of falling due to slippery wet pavement. Such as meeting at the gate, or having owners walk through the house inside the office. Now we hire pet sitters to care for our pets. Also just wanted to note that they only accept cash/check which seems suspicious.

This is my go to spot in Simi to take my pup. When I leave town I completely trust Tina and her employees to take care of him. My dog is usually high energy and they keep him entertained here. The last time we boarded him he was exhausted and happy when we picked him up.

My 3 Siberian Huskies will be here for the next week. They are always excited when we pull up and they see Double T Kennels and Tina. Her assistants has been fantastic and very caring. They will even take them to get bathed if you would like. Don't remember how long I have been coming here(a very long time), but I will never take my 3 kids anyplace else. Thank you Tina. **Oh forgot to mention their prices are very reasonable.

I have been boarding my dogs at Double T for 26 years now (as of 12-18-17), from my first rescue husky to my subsequent border collies (from Border Collie Rescue of California). With my first husky, I tried a number of kennels, all "high-end" types-- from "resorts" to fancy "hotel" style kennels (which were pricey, even without all the extra charges!).

The cleanest ones were a steambath inside (constant washing= water+heat of L.A.+enclosed area). My dog always came back miserable and stressed and I hated boarding her at any of them. Enter Double T Kennels: not "fancy", but DTK is everything right-- from a dog's point of view: open, spacious kennels in the fresh air of Simi Valley, a large exercise yard in the middle of the ring of kennels with thick grass and friendly staff playing with them often throughout the day.

During the 4th, they play loud music and do their best to distract the dogs there until the fireworks end! They also have ways to take care of very senior dogs and little dogs (VIP indoor service!) in cozy, quiet room. They only feed them high-end kibble (ie, no brand you can buy at a grocery store; ALL the grocery store available brands are cr*p, just do the research!).

They also manage to give medicines when necessary (they have mad skills there). If you'd like them groomed before pickup, they will take your dog to "Land of Paws", the best groomer I've ever used (and I found them via DTK's use!) I hate boarding my best buddies, but at least I can do it guilt-free at Double T!

Our husky has been going to this kennel for almost 3 years, since she was a puppy. She stays for daycare occasionally and boarding when we are away. She loves it there. And when she runs into any of the staff around town-she is always happy to give kisses!

Excellent customer service, great prices, and my dog always seems happy and cared for.

Gave 5 star review after first visit but have to change that after his 2nd visit. My dog came home Terrified with wounds on the bottom of his paws. he has never been a nervous dog but now hes shaking in his bed or licking his paws all day. he did not come home the dog he was. very sad.

My husband and I left our dog Cody here for our wedding weekend. In the midst of wedding planning, there are millions of details to think about. We wanted Cody in our ceremony, but then realized both our hotel options were not dog friendly. We devised all different plans to transport Cody back to our home or leave him at a relative's home that was close by.

Then we decided to look into boarding near our venue. My husband was able to make the arrangements. We were given certain drop off and pick up hours. Our friend had no issues dropping Cody off the night of our wedding. When we came to pick him up the next day was the first time I saw the facilities. They have numerous kennels so it didn't appear overcrowded and a spacious grassy area. Cody was cleaned up a bit before being released to us.

He was energized and happy to see us, and didn't seem anxious or nervous at all (which he has been at other kennels). Tom was very friendly and professional. It put me at ease about leaving Cody here and they have my trust if I need their services in the future. Highly recommend!

My dog stays here often, and loves it! Tom and Tina are awesome!

I was looking for a place to take care of my dog, Cody, during my wedding weekend in Simi Valley and I found Double T Kennels through Yelp. I was a little worried since Simi Valley doesn't have a great selection of places to choose from and I was limited to only a few options. I was surprised Simi Valley's Pet Smart did not even have a Pet Hotel.

My wedding was being held at, The Vineyards in Simi Valley, and fortunately Double T Kennels is located only 1 mile away. A few weeks from my actual wedding I met with the owner, Tom, and we discussed particulars such as operating times to pick-up and drop-off, shots requirements, and type of dog so they can make the proper arrangements for his stay.

I felt very assured that they were going to do a good job for Cody's stay. I arranged for my pet, Cody, to be dropped off by one of my friends at the wedding. The drop-off went seamlessly and my friend was back at the reception like he never left. The next morning I came over to pick-up Cody at the kennel. The true test for any dog owner is to see the behavior from your dog. Cody came out full of energy and very happy to see us and that was a very good sign.

The owner, Tom, had one last gift for us, as a tradition for any couple that gets married in the area(i won't ruin it for anyone else that gets married here), and let's just say Danielle and I were grateful to receive the gift. Thank you for taking care of us and Cody!

Great owners, Tom and Tina, of this excellent kennel know and love dogs, breed Malamutes! No pedicures, massages or tv for dogs here. This is a REAL kennel with wonderful care for the dogs and reasonably priced!

LOVE. The staff is amazing and I love how the runs and yard are set up. I also appreciated that they labeled all of our dogs food so they knew who's it was, how much and when he was to be fed. The "U" shape that they have the runs set up in are great, so the dogs can all see what's going on. Also, the discount for rescue dogs is great! We will definitely be boarding our pup here again should we go out of town.
