Ellie is the 2nd generation of my family to enjoy her time at SunDog, as my Yogi did years ago! She loves to run and play in the big yards with old and new friends, and the fact she isn’t in a kennel run for 23 hours a day. As a retired owner/operator of a pet sitting business, I appreciate Allison’s attention to detail on my picky feeding prep😉. And she goes above and beyond on numerous occasions. Will never forget her bringing Ellie to visit me at the rehab facility, on Mother’s Day, as I recovered from spinal surgery❤️ Dogs that go to SunDog camp are happy, luck dogs!!
Cash is proud to be part of the Sun Dog family. Allison is genuinely interested in his well being. Her breath of knowledge and experience makes us very comfortable boarding Cash there during our trips out of town. She always takes time to chat with us about his stay before and after and has been helpful in making us better Aussie owners.
I'm pretty sure my dog enjoys being at camp with Allison more than she enjoys being home. Leaving my dog for 2 weeks was easy, since I knew she'd be so well cared for, and that she'd have a blast playing with her friends at camp.
Sundog is the best home away from home for our dogs. All of the dogs love Allison, and so do we.
I can't imagine anyone else caring for my fur babies. I like to tell friends that Allison takes better care of them than I do. :) She is so accommodating and thoughtful and always has the dogs' best interest in mind. She is also super giving to the canine community and just a great person! I appreciate her so much!
I am so grateful to have Sun Dog Kennel and the owner Allison in our life. We have 2 dogs and have been using this kennel for years. I never have to worry about my dogs when we are away as they have sincere and expert care, a beautiful facility, lots of outside space and a great deal of personal attention. We’ve had nothing but professional and positive experiences with Sun Dog Kennel, and it is the best kennel we have ever had! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
I have always had great experience with SunDog Kennel! My Charlie is a super shy boy and would really just prefer to cuddle at your feet instead of wrestling around with other doggos. Allison has always been extremely understanding and accommodating. She allows Charlie to sort of hang by himself and do his own thing when its play time outside, and even lets him hang out with her in the office so he can get some of the human interaction that he craves. Thank you as always for being amazing and for taking the extra time to make not only Charlie, but myself feel comfortable when I drop off my best friend.
Sundog boarding kennel is like no other. It is like sending your dog over to your best friends house for a week of sleep overs. Allison has a personal connection with every client. That said- I mean the canine clients! The dogs are not crated. Though she does have several crates near the front door in the office. These are for current pick ups or drop offs. Making sure Nobody gets out due to an open door. She has 2 large fenced in areas. One for the big Dogs and for for the Little’s. I happen to have a little dog who thinks he’s a big do so he plays over there. She has couches ...just for Dogs. Allisons attention to detail with all the dogs in her care is amazing. She truly is a dog person. She spends her time exercising and socializing the dogs with each other. Now because of how she spends her time during the day... with the Dogs. She is not sitting by the phone or the computer. Most likely she is outside throwing a ball, She is a one woman show with a life outside of her business. She communicates via text or email. You must bring your dog over for a pre visit. She is pretty thorough about what she expects in dog behavior. I believe that once you are a client you are well taken care of. The problem is getting her away from her passion ... the Dogs. But once you have ....you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a commercial kennel with an office staff and dog walkers this probably is not the place for you. This is DOGTOWN!
Emailed, texted and called. Received a complimentary email telling me that I would hear from them soon... a day and a half later I get a text explaining that they were out of town and asking me for my dog’s information and experience with boarding. I write back with the information and a couple of pictures, a day and a half later, still no response. Good thing I took the precaution of making arrangements somewhere else after the first 24 hours!!! The terse message at Sun Dog says that dogs are her first priority, but I am the one writing the check and how I’m treated tells me how my dog will be treated. Clearly other people have had great success there, but I think she also has a reputation for not responding well, as quite by chance I talked with someone else who had the same problem. Maybe you’ll have better luck if you have the time to wait a week to make an appointment.
I bet they are great with dogs but good luck with getting a hold of them. I had our dog care back out last minute and I called and texted to no avail. They texted to let me know they were busy watching the dogs and that was it for 2 days. A simple "we're full" would have been acceptable. But instead I was ghosted.
Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails gave our 7 month old Cavapoo the best place to stay this past weekend. We highly recommend their place. It was our puppy's first time boarding and they prepared us and our puppy on all the things to expect. Very clean and organized facility. You will not be disappointed by their hospitality for you pet. We will definitely be back.
Brought my little Frenchie here. Discussed with owners on the phone the dogs age and sent them all the paper work from our vet which listed each and every vaccine he had. Was told there was no issue with bringing him in for 4 days. Went on vacation and got a text the next morning, after having driven 6 hrs away, that they weren't equipped to handle our dog because he wasn't old enough to board there. I had to pack my family up and head home to pick him up. Wasted $2500 in lodging for our vacation. WARNING.... NOT RECOMMENDED.
This was our first time boarding dogs ever. We have two cattle dogs, both young & FULL of energy. The staff at Wiggle Butts was so beyond fantastic with them. They sent us photos and kept us updated. They gave them their medications as directed. They also followed directions to keep our dogs together at all times because they are highly anxious otherwise. This is an affordable, clean, and trustworthy boarding facility. 10/10 will use again. Thank you guys!!
Kathy and Dave were amazing! We went on vacation up North and found Wiggle Butts and Wagging tails online as we wanted to have our 2 year old dog close to us. Chloe was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. Kathy was quick at responding emails before and during her stay. Love that they have a large outdoor area that dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. We will be retuning here next time we have a vacation up North!
Kathy and Dave are very personable! I trust them with my 1 year old Golden doodle. He loves going to doggy daycare at their facility! I would recommend them to anyone.
Dave and Kathy are SO kind and they’re great with animals. My little dog loves coming here to spend time with them and the other dogs. They’ve really made a special connection with her and with my family. This is the only place we board her because I know she’ll be well taken care of. They have great rates as well and are very flexible.
Kathy and Dave did a GREAT job helping my kennel-averse rescue acclimate to their place by having her do several short day care stints before she boarded there for several nights. They even texted an update while we were gone. My pup was happy, well cared for, and is still excited when we drive up. What's more, their location is convenient, clean, well organized and a great value. HIGHLY recommend!
Dave and Kathy greeted us and our dogs with open arms as soon as we arrived. Very clean, neat, and organized dog boarding! I could tell they were animal lovers as soon they walked us back. Dave set out some blankets for our pups to borrow while they stayed. We will DEF be using Wiggle Butts and Wagin Tails again next year. Very happy.
My dog, Bruce, loves coming here; and I love it because when I pick him up at the end of the day, he is TIRED. Dave and Kathy are the sweetest people. There is always the perfect amount of pups for him to play with. Great for socialization as well as exercise! Pick-ups and drop offs are easy and fast. They are by far the most flexible with pick up/drop off times for any place in the area, which makes it great for working dog owners who may need to work earlier/later than typical 9-5 work hours. I can't recommend Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails enough! If you're looking for doggy day care or a place to board your dog, look no further.
I boarded my two mini Dachshunds over Thanksgiving. We all had a great experience! The kennel is new and well designed and the owner (who live on the property) are very patient and loving to their guests. I called several times and they texted me pictures, they reassured me many times my furbabies were fine. I will definitely use their services again. I highly recommend this lovely facility .
Tara is truly amazing with our two boys. They love their play time where they get to run around together and play catch with Tara. We also like that she takes and shares pictures of them playing. I highly recommend Aunt Tara's Creative Canine Solutions!
I cannot share enough about how amazing Tara and her staff are. We have a special needs pug with limited mobility. Tara and her staff welcomed our dog with so much love and care. He was well taken care of during his week long stay and it gave us great peace of mind. The facility is spotless and well kept. We can’t wait to use Aunt Tara’s again!
Tara was absolutely wonderful! We had traveled to the area with our 3 year old chocolate lab. Our pup wae not getting along with her pup cousins and we needed a place last minute for boarding. Tara worked our dog in. Upon check in we were immediately put at ease. She assured us our dog would be well cared for. Our dog takes daily pills and she was able to administer them. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Tara and her staff.
Aunt Taras' is fantastic ❤️, our dogs were well taken care of, they did good, especially since it was the 1st time we left them anywhere. I'd definitely let them stay there again.
I highly recommend Aunt Tara's for boarding your dog. Whenever I leave my dog there, I can rest assured that Rocky is well taken care of. Tara is not just the owner, she is also the caregiver for the dogs. She treats them as she treats her own dog. Aunt Tara goes above and beyond! My dog gets a vacation at the same time as my family. Additionally, the facility is clean and well maintained.
My dogs have always loved Aunt Tara's for their away from home needs. Everyone is so VERY kind and thoughtful. My dog returns home happy and healthy.
Tara was awesome and worked with us to board our dogs for a friends wedding.
Aunt Tara is the best! Highly recommend boarding your pups here.
Mudbud had so much fun with Tara, he didn't want to leave!
My doggos love going here!!!.. Great place and not that expensive highly recommend
Tulamar Kennels have been caring for our dogs for 35+ years. Our puppies are a part of our family. The family at Tulamar have taken care of all our dogs with attention, affection and most importantly they are safe. Thank you
I highly recommend Tulamar Kennels. Tulamar has an extra large kennel for very large dogs. My dog is 155 pounds and the kennel is perfect her. She's been to other places with barely any room for her to even turn around. Heather is accustom to handling large dogs and does very well with Belle. The kennels are clean and dogs have an opportunity to go outside into a fenced area directly from their kennel. Heather and Kayla are both very accommodating and friendly.
Don’t bring your doodles for grooming!!! I brought my Sophie for her first haircut and they just did a horrible job :( It doesn’t look like a goldendoodle’s haircut. They said she was amazing during her haircut so it wasn’t her fault.
I am absolutely amazed by the staff and ownership of this outstanding facility. We rescued our two boys at different points during the pandemic and each of them have had their challenges. My rat terrier was in a very abusive situation which made him respond with fear and aggression when encountering unfamiliar situations. We worked diligently with him to heal him from the trauma and Tulamar played a big role in that healing. Kayla and Heather spent time getting him familiar with the facility and the grooming tools and their patience has paid off in spades. Now, nearly two years later, he is excited to go to Tulamar for a grooming or for a longer stay! His journey has been inspiring to see, and I truly believe that Tulamar's patience and care toward their animals has helped in that transformation. About a year after we adopted our rattie, JoJo, we found his brother, Milo, a King Charles/Pom mix who was not socialized at all and led a very solitary life with his owner before she went to a nursing home. Milo was a younger dog, and bringing him to Tulamar helped with his much needed socialization. Kayla grooms him so well, and I am convinced that a well groomed dog is more confident (I mean--I know how much more confident I feel after a haircut :)). It is important to surround your dogs with caregivers who feel the same sort of affinity toward them that you feel. Tulamar's staff treat my dogs as if they were their own dogs. The kennel has heated floors and offers plenty of opportunity for play and exercise. The grooming is professional and affordable. I highly recommend taking your animals to Tulamar for both your boarding and grooming needs!
Great place to board your pets! My dogs are happier to go there than they are to see me when I pick them up!
Best Yorkie haircut EVER!! And they did a great job with our dogs when we boarded them.
Tulamar Kennel has been an incredible find for us! Our dog Clark can be a bit challenging with strangers / new people, so we’re rarely able to board him or send him to day care as many kennels don’t understand how to interact with challenging dogs. But the staff at Tulamar understand exactly what he needs and how to care for him. We are so grateful to them and will absolutely use them again!
My pups are not great with other dogs, and in their 5 1/2 years have never had to be kenneled before this past week. To say I was nervous to leave them is an understatement. But, I could not have been more pleased!! When I picked them up, I could tell they had fallen in love with Heather and her staff. And most importantly they were so obviously well cared for. I will be using them again and I would recommend to anyone!!
Heather and staff are very friendly, efficient and caring. The grounds are beautiful, quiet and safe. I feel good about leaving our four legged family members there when we can’t take them with us. The grooming is good too. They do just what you ask for. Highly recommend this kennel & grooming.
We own a min pin of a certain age who requires only the best care. We won’t board him anywhere else.
