Beware there is no such thing as a one day stay with this kennel and no matter what if your pet stays overnigh they will automatically charge you for two days (and it is expensive!) I booked my two dogs and dropped them off between 9-10AM on Wednesday (8/11). I picked them up on Friday (8/19) between 9-10AM. If you count it up this is 9 nights or 9 full days.
However I was charged for ten days?!. When I asked Don the owner how this could be he said they bill by "calendar days"?! He confirmed I was charged for Friday despite picking them up during their morning pick-up hours. So I asked him hypothetically if I dropped my dogs off at 9AM today and picked them up at 9AM tomorrow (24 hours!) would I be billed for two days and he said I would because it is "two calendar days". I've used many kennels and NO ONE has ever tried this scam but per Don because it is their policy they feel they can get away with it.
At $60 per dog this meant after tax I was overcharged $132. This kennel looks a bit run down and is out of the way so plenty to chose from and avoid this money grab. Also I called immediately after I noticed the overcharge and he took 4 "calendar days" to call me back. AVOID THIS PLACE!

Let me first start by saying how thank you I am that they were able to fit us in with less than a days notice. I have a giant dog and most places are not equipped for dogs over 100 pounds. We normally board at our vet but they were booked up. Our dog was boarded in a Townhouse. It had a very good size run which I'm sure our dog loved as he doesn't get such freedoms at home.
Over all I would say the place was decent. That being said, the hours to pick up are very short. They only take cash. My two main complaints are the following: We boarded for two night and the bill came to $237. Yep you read that right TWO HUNDERD AND THIRTY SEVEN DOLLARS! I was shocked. I said it is only $55 a day. He responds, "that's right a day.
A calendar day." Now to me that is shifty as that is not on the website. I have been boarding my dog about 7 times a year for the 4 years I have had him. I have never paid anywhere per calendar day. OK well live and learn right? Get home and the dog STINKS. Just think of going to an elderly persons house that hasn't been opened to air out in decades. Mildew I think but not sure.
The stink did not go away. A week later we went to Shampoodle to wash the stink off of him. So I would say if you are in a pinch I feel my dog was happy there. But I would do my best to not have to use them again.

Loving, wonderful place--our dogs were cared for in such a beautiful and very clean location. They were loved as we would have loved them at home, exercised, groomed- the entire experience was wonderful for them, and therefor we were able to relax as well. Highly recommend for anyone who really loves their dogs!
