Went here for a nail trim for my GSD, because she doesn't let me at home. The staff were amazing! Very good at what they do (cut all the way to the quick) and gave me the play by play of how my dog struggled, and tips on how they were able to accomplish the trim. Definitely recommend.

I love taking my pup here for nail trims! The staff is friendly and they do a great job. I try to take him in every 5 weeks. Never have to wait long either. It's just a walk in no appointment needed for this service.

My three German shepards had never been in boarding before. They love Sylvan and so do I. The staff is very professional and dog savy. The level of animal health knowledge is excellent. I can now travel knowing my dogs are safe and happy. Thank you Sylvan!

I have a very anxious pup who has never been boarded before. They were very understanding and knowledgeable about his special needs and ways to make his stay comfortable. When I picked him up, he excited to see me, but not in any distress. I would bring him back in a heartbeat!

I brought my little long haired dachshund for a full heron and was so satisfied! My pup looked and smelled so good. Terra was a fantastic groomer and also very knowledgeable which I appreciate. Scheduled another groom fro 6 weeks out. Great customer service!

First, I should state I did not allow my cats to stay there. What I viewed was a building that looked very run down, not like the pretty pic in the advertisement. They stated they had boarding for cats, but when I went to tour the place, the cats were in the same building as the dogs. There was no separate spaces, the cats were stuck in kennels directly on top of dog kennels.

My cats would have had to listed to dogs barking 24/7, which was extremely loud, without windows or any kind of run to play in/walk in. Housing for cats was clearly an afterthought.

We are very appreciative of the staff at Sylvan. They went above and beyond to care for our dogs over Thanksgiving. They communicated an issue with us immediately and gave our dogs the same care and attention they would their own. We will continue to board our dogs here because we know they will be well taken care of!

I've boarded my old dog here twice now. He is old, blind, and has anxiety issues with new people and environments. He did great there and came home happy (instead of clearly anxious and stressed like some other places he's been to). I called regularly to check on him when I was gone and was always given an actual update instead of just a standard "he's having fun" answer that I've gotten at other places. Great staff really cares about their furry clients!

This is the first time that I have left my pet with a boarding facility, and needless to say, we were both a little nervous. I can honestly say that Niki was extremely helpful in explaining everything, and putting my mind at ease. The facility is well built and functional. My dog adjusted quickly, and Niki got back to me right away when I inquired about how she was doing. Not only is this place great for boarding, it's absolutely affordable! We will definitely be returning for their services in the future.

Love the staff here and the grooming is amazing. My dog is always so happy to visit the pet lodge when we are out of town because he gets to play with his friends. Thanks Sylvan Pet Lodge! I missed my dog but was rest assured he was well taken care of.

This is the first time we've boarded our dog and will definitely use Sylvan again. Our little guy was taken very good care of. They had all his bedding washed for his return home plus Ryder was given a bath. He's a happy pup and so are we. Thank you Sylvan Pet Lodge

I must leave my big dog regularly because of business. He is such a good doggy, and I do not want him to have anything but the best care. Sylvan is so good with him. He even seems to be excited to go there.which makes me feel so much better. Though he is very happy when I pick him up.good doggy! Sylvan is very attentive, and they really know dogs. I have the utmost confidence in this place. Nothing but great things to say. So happy to have found these great people.

Hands down the best place to take your dog for boarding. Its always scary leaving your loved one with someone else to take care of them but everyone at Sylvan is caring and understands dogs! Even with my dog who can be quite difficult at times. I have boarded her here 3 times over 3 years with nothing but great results. They even notified me that they found blood in my dogs urine and took her to the vet for me. Turns out she had an infected uterus and needed surgery.

If it wasn't for their keen eye my dog most likely would have died from the infection. Thank you all for saving my girl and for taking such good care of her. I will always be grateful.

Please search & read all of their reviews. Please note: Their only good reviews are from gals about the same age as the owner, likely friends and/or employees. The noise here of the barking dogs is overwhelming to a human, let alone what it must like to an already likely nervous dog. I am glad that I found the hidden reviews, because they confirmed what I feared when I tried to visit. Too many dogs, not enough attention and I could not even find a person anywhere to show me around. I decided: No, No & definitely not for me or my dog. No way!

The lodge had great rates for all they provided for our dogs and the length of stay. Called to check on our pets halfway trough the trip and was told they were rewarded with extra outside time for being good! Came home smelling a bit stinky, but that is to be expected after staying in a kennel. Next time we are out of town and in need of a sitter, we are definitely coming back to sylvan lodge!

I've used Sylvan Pet Lodge for years, and have always had a great experience. However, recently it's nearly impossible to get anyone to answer the phone. They say it's best if you leave a voicemail message so they can return your call when it's convenient for them, but then they don't return your call. I know they're a busy place, but maybe they can devote more human resources to manning the phone?

I just picked my dog up from a 9 day stay at Sylvan and found she was scared and her voice was hoarse. I had toured the boarding facility previously and thought it would be nice for my dog to be around other dogs for the week. Just to be fair, my dog is a small dog that loves to be held and cuddled with, not an outside dog, not an independant dog.

In other facilities we have taken her to she was not forced to live alone and when they saw her depression they took it upon themselves to spend more one on one time with her until she was comfortable. I called Sylvan during her stay and they said she was adjusting fine, yet when I picked her up I noticed very little of her food missing and they told me she wasn't eating well.

I consider the facility to be one step up from the pound, they have cell time and very little outside yard time, like a prison. I will not be using them in the future and I seriously think you should consider this!

On Monday I boarded my dog for the first time at Sylvan. After visiting a differnt boarding and daycare facility where I observed an employee kicking a dog in their daycare program I was really wary of leaving my dog with strangers. But after visiting Sylvan and meeting with some of the women who work there and taking a tour I felt this was NOTHING like the other place.

I really like reading their "about us" section of thier website. Their rates are the best I have found for my largish dog $20/day. They will feed their food or yours at no additional cost. Walks for $6. They also have facilities for cats. When I toured, dropped him off and picked him up the place was pretty full (the individual areas where dogs are kept are visible) so I know a lot of other people are using the facilites also.

The owner Nikki was very accomodating and gracious when I called to tell her I was running a little late. Although I do not want to encourage anyone to take advantage of her kindness.
