Pet Sitters in Caroline, NY

We love Malcolm and Mutts, it’s become a second home for our play-all-day border collie. Aaron and Kaylee treat her like one of the family, and she’s always tuckered out after her stays here. Highly recommend!

My dachshund Matilda has been staying with Malcolm and Mutts for two years now. She is a pandemic puppy so this has really helped with her socialization and bringing her out of her shell! She’s always very relaxed and tired when she gets home 😀 …

Went on vacation for a week and left Sadie at Malcolm & Mutts. Thought is would be a great experience for her. She'd be taken care of and get some training while we were gone. Literally the exact opposite is what I received. I received a broken puppy back; she was lethargic, emaciated, and scared. Sadie had diarrhea, which she has NEVER had before, just like she's never shed the way she is currently. When asked where there any issues I was told she was sick once but recovered quickly after a bland diet. I sent the food and treats she needed for the week and when I picked her up I received the dry food back. Still trying to figure out what happened to my dog but every time I asked I would receive a response that he'd then try to walk back when questioned more about it. Sadie has been on a raw diet her whole life, she's never had diarrhea, never had her coat falling out and never been afraid to go outside. I still have to drag her outside to use the bathroom. She looks and is acting like she was starved. Pictures don't lie, and if you look at the two I'm posting you can clearly see what Sadie looked like before we left versus what she looked like after her week at Malcolm & mutts. I don't recommend.

I think they have good intentions, but it's so disappointing. I used them for a while for my dog..every time he came home he smelled like poop/pee(they don't let you see the inside). I didn't have any other options, so I continued and would just tell my self it's from all the fun. I would pay the extra money for training to be done, I never got a detailed thing at the end of the day so who knows if it ever got done. Sometimes he would come home with scratches. One day he came home a gash in his ear (would post the pic but it's gory). That was my last straw, I messages the owners and got a what felt like a copy and paste response... The owners seem great, but it seems they've lost the spark they had with having the day care.

We've been using Malcolm & Mutts for about a month now for dog walking, doggy daycare, and dog boarding. I love the extra things I can book like a bath, pick up and dropoff, and training! Our pit bull Bruce is still a bit of a puppy but has calmed down after starting daycare and getting so much playtime! Aaron and Kaylee have taken great care of him and helped out with his training which has been a huge relief!

We used Malcolm and Mutts back in August for regular dog daycare twice a week. Our dog had successfully completed a trial day a few months back and we thought it would be good for her to play with dogs during the day rather than being at home alone while we went to work. The first couple of times we dropped her off, she seemed more hesitant and nervous than usual. When we picked her up, she seemed overly relieved, whining and jumping. She has been to another dog daycare before, and we hadn't experienced these behaviors from her previously. We chalked it up to our dog being nervous in a new environment, as we recognize our dog can be a bit hyper-sensitive. Fast-forward a couple of weeks and my boyfriend takes our dog to drop her off for the day at Malcolm & Mutts, she becomes so nervous that she jumps the fence and goes running down the street. My boyfriend chases after her and once he's finally able to catch her, he walks her back to the car and just left with our dog. We never asked for our money back (as we paid for a multi-day package and had a few unused days left) and they didn't contact us to apologize, follow-up, or anything. We have taken our dog back to the original daycare and she has not expressed this nervous/anxious behavior. I'm not sure what happened at Malcolm & Mutts that made our dog so nervous, but each time I picked her up and asked how she did during the day I only received positive feedback.

I dropped off my pup Sparkles for a daycare assessment and he came back happy. Aaron was so friendly, and answered all my questions. He also took the time to listen to and address my questions and concerns. Malcolm and Mutts came highly recommended by many friends and I definitely got a great vibe from Aaron. I just signed up for daycare with them and I can’t wait for my dog to go have a blast there with his new doggo friends.

Our little dog LOVES his day care days! We feel good about the care he gets when he goes to play with his friends each week. When we went away recently we boarded him at Malcolm and Mutts and he did really well there which was a big relief to us. We're glad to have found a place we trust and that our boy enjoys so much!

I used Malcolm & Mutts for daycare and boarding for over a year. Since starting daycare there, I have seen a drastic difference in Leo's socialization skills; he is much more confident and comfortable playing with other dogs. If we were still living in the area, he would still be a regular. I recommend them!

Would not recommend. Last summer, after a week of boarding with Malcom and Mutts, our dog came back home with diarrhea and was SO SKINNY. After asking Aaron if our dog had been acting strange/not eating, he shared that there was a "stomach bug" going around the dogs at M&M and that many dogs had required medicine from their vet. Isn't this something you would tell us immediately at pick up? Not when inquiring 2 days later?! Meanwhile, the huge bag of dog food (and scoop) that I had left, was gone. The bag was brand new and there should have been quite a bit left over. I would NEVER take my dogs here. We since then have found other options and are much happier - now we don't have to worry if/when we go away and can't take the pups with us. Phew!

The best dog daycare/boarding we've ever used. Our dogs wake us up early in anticipation on days they're going and are tired for at least a whole day after. Never have to worry about safety or attentiveness.

Exceptional doggy daycare. Run by professionals. Very caring. Our dog both boarded many times and attended twice a week for almost two years. He was always eager to join the pack, running in and first getting his pets from the staff and then on to join the play. We always felt safe leaving him for boarding. Very caring staff going beyond what is expected to take care of dogs just the way owners hope. Definitely recommend to anyone who is considering putting their dog into a friendly, active, playful, safe environment.

my two dogs are in this daycare and love it there! they come home after a day of playing and having fun! The staff are caring and loving and we feel safe and in great hands. Thank you Canine Comfort for all you do!

Five stars is not enough. Our dog LOVES Canine Comfort. They're easy to communicate with and provide a wonderful service. The rules might seem overwhelming at first, but once you are in the pack, you'll understand why. It's such a well run organization and also one that treats each dog with love and each family respect.

Ellie and the entire Canine Comfort crew are a blessing. They go above and beyond for each and every dog in their care and I never worry about my pup when I drop her off. She comes home happy and tired from a day of fun and exercise with her friends. Each staff member is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with any questions you have - and are always willing to take the extra step to make you and your beloved pup feel comfortable. I'm so impressed by the level of professionalism and genuine kindness I've experienced, and would highly recommend Ellie and the entire staff at Canine Comfort to anyone looking for a safe and loving dog daycare and boarding service.

We have been taking our dog to Canine Comfort for over 4 years now and she loves it. She gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. They have a large outdoor & indoor area for the dogs to run around including a pool in the summer and obstacle courses outside. The dogs are able to roam from inside to outside as they see feet. When we pick her up at night I know she's had a great day playing with her friends and the staff because she's excited but also exhausted. The staff are fantastic, they genuinely care about the dogs and love what they do!!! They provide boarding but only for the dogs that attend daycare. I feel comfortable leaving my dog with them if I have to go away for a night or weekend because she knows the staff and the dogs that will be there.

This was hands down the best dog daycare in all of Ithaca, NY. The owner and employees were not only incredibly friendly but they were responsive and flexible with every single request I had, even when I made mistakes and slept in past the allowed “drop off time”. There was an in depth “interview” for you and your dog and it was all worth while. It ensured that the dogs that were part of the group would all get along and that the owners were responsible adults that could pick up and drop of their dogs at an appropriate time. Every time my dog, Piper, left this daycare facility she was so exhausted but also well taken care of. She would sleep all evening the day after daycare and the next day. Their rates were less than every other place in town and they accepted a number of different payment methods. I would recommend this place to anyone that lives nearby and hope you take your dog to these friendly workers.

All of us local pet parents can relax and find our own comfort and ease when we drop Fido or Feebie off at Canine Comfort. The doggie day care and boarding center is well staffed with knowledgeable, and attentive employees. My positive experience began after I had reached out to the center with one or two questions regarding price, services, and breeds accepted. I was able to speak directly with the owner, Ellie who made herself available to me with all of my additional questions. We had an excellent conversation that created a foundation for the kind of relationship I am looking for in a daycare provider. Ellie and her staff continuously provide the personalized care I seek and expect for my dogs, which in turn provides me with peace of mind. It matters, thanks Canine Comfort!

Canine Comfort is a very organized and safe place for dogs to interact and play.

My boxer and yellow lab have been coming here for years, not just for doggie day care, but also for boarding. I can tell you that it's a wonderful place, where the dogs are loved and pampered. Ellie and her "pack" are just amazing with our babies. I highly recommended.

My family and I love Almost Home, but more importantly, our dog never wants to leave when we pick her up! The care that Susan and Lee give to the dogs and their owners is amazing, from reservation to pick up. Their reception area is clean, cozy, and full of dog toys. The first time we took Rosie there, Lee took her out to play and Rosie was instantly comfortable with him, and with Susan as well.The dog's rooms are great - functional yet comfortable, and our dog loves the indoor-outdoor run. Our lab puppy is a bit boisterous, so they made sure that when she played with other dogs, she only played with dogs that matched her energy level. The dogs' safety is clearly their top priority. They have convenient pick up and drop off hours, and sometimes they even send pictures while we're away. From start to finish, Almost Home provides a wonderful dog boarding experience. Highly recommended!!

I have left my 2 dogs at Almost Home for the last 3 years. Both are anxious dogs (as is this owner when I have to be away from them). Susan is welcoming and obviously loves dogs and taking care of them. The place is clean and isn't like a kennel, it's like rooms for dogs. When I ask for the pups not to be out with other dogs, she makes sure this is what happens. I can trust the dogs are safe and happy.

We love Almost Home! We have been sending our dog Lucy to Almost Home for over 4 years and have had nothing but positive experiences. I would highly recommend lee and Susan to anyone looking for dog boarding. A very clean, friendly environment, rooms and not cages. Lee and Susan go the extra mile for each dog. They know and understand Lucy and all her quirky habits and Lucy makes herself right at home. Lucy never comes home freaked out from being boarded and to me that is a great testament to the care she receives at Almost Home. Susan has even sent pictures when I was missing Lucy! It truly is Almost Home for my dog!

I would recommend using almost home to anyone, including those to who have never boarded their pet. This was our first time leaving our dog for an entire week. They made sure she was comfortable and felt right at home. Their facilities were really clean and each dog had an individual room. They even sent me pictures of Luna while I was away! Luna didn’t even want to come home with us when it was time to pick her up!! Luna rates Almost Home five stars as well :) we’ll definitely use them in the future!

We feel so lucky to be able to get away knowing our dog is so well cared for. We fortunately found Almost Home years ago and we have had outstanding experiences through the years. Our dog is obviously exceedingly well cared for while he is there. Susan and Lee know their dogs so well and really set all of their pets up for successful, adapting little detaisl to meet every pets needs- getting lots of outside time and socializing time. It is impressive how tuned in they are to their animals and the great environment they provide for their boarders. We feel so lucky to have them.

We have had many dogs over the years and have always felt uncomfortable leaving them when my wife and I traveled. We have had experience with many kennels and even dog sitting people. Over the last 7-8 years we have been boarding our dogs exclusively at Almost Home Dog Boarding. Our dogs have never seemed traumatized in any way when we pick them up. The discomfort of missing our dog for the period of time we are away is softened by the knowledge of how comfortable and happy our dog is at Almost Home. It is not just the physical differences from other kennels, it is the warmth and caring that Susan and Lee display every time without fail. If you love your dog, we highly recommend that you board them at Almost Home Dog Boarding.

I have been using Almost Home to board my dogs for 3 1/2 years. I have two large German Shepherds. I checked out every other boarding facility in the area and none of them are as nice as Almost Home. I especially like the fact that the dogs can be inside and go out the doggy door and see each other outside. Also the floors are heated and the room is not a cinderblock cubicle it looks like a kids room. Nice touch. The dogs are also given play time outside each day and that is important. The most important thing for me when I am traveling is knowing my pups are safe and when I leave them off with Susan and Lee I know they are safe and in very good hands. My pups are truly Almost Home.

Almost Home exceeded our expectations! We left our dog, Milo, here for a little less than a week as we traveled to a friend's wedding. The owners, Susan and Lee, were very helpful and quick to respond to my emails. They seemed genuinely interested in Milo so that they could give him a good experience. During our trip, we received several updates and pictures, which helped put our minds at ease, since it was the first time boarding our pooch. When a line of storms prevented us from flying home and made us a day late to pick up our dog, Almost Home was very accommodating, and set up an alternate pick-up time. No hassle whatsoever. Wonderful service for a price that didn't break the bank. We'll definitely bring Milo back whenever we need to go out of town again!

We have been taking our dogs to stay at Almost Home for over 7 years. Lee and Susan have taken care of our elderly golden retriever, Tess, our difficult rescue, Merrilee, and our highly active rescue, Finny. Each dog required a different touch and amount of care. Regardless of their individual needs and personalities, we are confident that they each had their needs met and had a special time while they could not be with us. Susan and Lee get that these dogs are our children and treat them with the care and love they deserve. I can't imagine bringing my dogs to any other place. Almost Home isn't a kennel, it's as good as home for our pets.

We've come to learn that it is us, not our dog, that feels bad when we leave him at Almost Home. He loves it there and is treated like a part of Susan and Lee's family. I highly recommend boarding your dog here. You won't have to worry one bit while you are away because your pet will receive excellent care!

Great place to take your dogs. Friendly, clean and very responsible. Our dog says he loves it here. Every time we get his go bag out he knows he’s headed to the top dog! He comes home well exercised and always makes new friends. The owners do a great job pairing dogs for play time. And they even offer special bed time treats. Recently our guy has had to begin taking medications and they have gone above and beyond to make sure he gets them all on time. Here’s a photo of him after a long weekend at the kennel.

Top Dog Kennels is beyond outstanding! Craig and Laura, and the staff, truly love/ care for their clients as their own. When you leave your beloved dog, you can be assured that they will have the time of their life during their stay. I’m amazed at the careful prior planning and attention to details TDK’s part to ensure the dogs are teamed with other dogs they’re compatible with during their visit, and also comfortable in their surroundings/ accommodations…almost like a constantly changing jigsaw puzzle that they solve! What gratification when you pick up your precious dog to realize they had a wonderful, exciting, happy , fun filled experience with constant supervision and expert care! I’m so appreciative of the attention and love my dogs receive at TDK. I know my pets will be safe as much as humanly possible, as well as happy, and always are positively exhausted from their invigorating stay! You won’t have any regrets if you choose to board your dog at TDK, in fact, you’ll consider yourself lucky that your dog could stay there and that it was a bargain! I would love to be a dog in my “next life” that was able to stay at TDK! 🐶☺️😂👍🏻🫶🏻 Thank you, Craig and Laura!

Our boy Mac just spent five nights at camp! He made new friends and had the best time. He especially loved the frozen king before bed! We will definitely be booking another stay!

Craig and Laura are two of the kindest people I’ve ever met! Their facility is beautiful and clean, and it is all wide open with clear doors leaving owners with no questions about the care of their pups. The kennels are air conditioned in summer and the floors are heated in the winter, making a cozy and comfortable stay for the pups. They are responsible about meet and greets with dogs and owners before taking on a new client and their open communication is amazing. Boarding my dogs is something I could never do, but sending them to Top Dog is like their second home. It truly is a dogs home away from home. The owners also live right near the facility which allows them fast access (on the rare chance they aren’t there anyways). I have a shepherd that does not always do well with other dogs, and they have worked him into groups of dogs that he never has a problem with. Attached is a photo of Kenai after his time at Top Dog, a very typical state of snoozing. We love Top Dog and Laura and Craig❤️

Top Dog Kennels is absolutely the best! This was the first time that we have kenneled our boys so we were of course a little nervous. Craig and Laura and all of the staff reassured us and kept us up to date on how they were doing. They truly love and treat them like there own ! Maxx and Spencer received such great care and came back to us as very happy boys ! We were so happy and are so confident in Craig and Laura that we already booked our next visit and will continue to make the hour drive to Top Dog Kennels in the future ! Thank you Craig and Laura and staff for all that you do !!

We've been leaving our pup Milo with Laura and Craig for about as long as they've been open. Their love and respect for the animals they take care of shows in everything they do, and the quality of the facilities there are top notch. For as long as my wife and I have dogs (or until Laura and Craig retire) we will continue to use their services. I can't recommend Top Dog Kennel enough as a place you can trust to take wonderful care of your pups, whether it be for daycare, a long weekend, or an extended stay.

Fantastic experience! Kind owners who took the time to make sure my dog and I were familiar and comfortable with the facility before finalizing the overnight booking. Clean, spacious and top-notch care from true dog lovers. Will be back.

Top Dog Kennels, LLC unquestionably distinguishes itself as the premier option for pet owners seeking unparalleled care for their dogs in the Finger Lakes area. The facility's meticulous design, secure environment, and steadfast commitment to personalized care set it apart from any kennel I've employed before. I confidently entrust them with the well-being of my sensitive and high-energy Doberman Pinscher and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Wonderful kennel! This was the first time we took our dog to a kennel and had a fantastic experience. We plan on using them again in the future. They are kind owners and easy to talk with. Very clean and organized. 100% recommend.

Top Dog Kennels is top notch! We have been using them for several years and we are always impressed with the attentiveness to the dogs and the cleanliness of the facility. A great place to take your pups for a holiday.

Operated by a kind, friendly couple who are clearly knowledgeable about dogs and care about the animals they board. They accommodated us last minute when we were in a bind during our trip to Ithaca and they made us feel good about leaving our dog with them.

Not recommended for anyone with dogs with separation anxiety or dogs that stress from non-stop barking. A pet sitter that will give them the attention they need is the better option.

Our dog always enjoys his time at these kennels.

Well established kennel run by real loving people.

Very conveniently located.

Barksville Inn is a wonderful alternative to “traditional” boarding facilities. They provide a Home Sweet Home environment for your dog. We needed a place with flexible hours for a cross country transport pick up. Most facilities in the area were not able to meet the pick up time criteria of our transport service…except for Barksville Inn! They have early and late pick hours and a staff member is on site 24/7. We did a dry run two weeks before our move with a 4 day stay. Drop off can be chaotic and I recommend communicating all requests and inquiries prior to drop off because you will be greeted by Kevin and the entire pack upon arrival. We had time to spend, so hanging out and allowing our dog and the others to settle allowed for conversation before our departure. The welcome committee is 100% on task so plan for that. Kevin provided text and photo updates while we were away. Pick up was easy as well. We texted our ETA and once again just before arrival. This is helpful for them to have your pup ready to go. Kevin was in contact with us prior to our cross country move. He accommodated all our requests for our pet and aided in preparing her for her transport. The move was a success and he even kept in touch to ensure our dog and family made it to our new home safely. Kevin and his team were gracious and kind every step of the way. Barksville Inn is a casual “at home” operation. They are a growing family business and have improvements coming up which should make things even better for Barksville in the near future. Plan a visit and see for yourself! Boarding your pup doesn’t have to be cold and lonely. Barksville allows for couch cuddling, freedom to roam inside and out, friends to play with anytime! Thank you Kevin! ***adding photos we received via text from Barksville Inn during her stay.

The best!! We drove up from NYC to bring leave our two dogs with Kevin for two months this spring, and had the most wonderful experience with their service. We never had to worry about our dogs, knowing they were well taken care of because Kevin sent us consistent updates, and it gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our trip. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure the puppies were having a good time. I’m convinced our dogs were truly depressed to leave Barksville. We will, without a doubt be leaving our dogs with Kevin for our next vacation. Thanks Kevin!!!

We brought our dogs in for a meet and greet and then a second time before our trip so our dogs would do okay at the Barksville Inn. The owner, Kevin, said we were okay to leave our dogs during Thanksgiving week. The day before our trip, we dropped the dogs off. My bigger dog ran up to the lady that was there and let her pet him. She was calm and my dog was calm. Very friendly. There was another employee (male) that my bigger dog was barking at because he was a stranger. My dog barks at strangers until he knows that person is trustworthy and safe to be around. This man kept yelling at me to get my dog out and they couldn’t watch him. I was trying to explain something to him but he cut me off and kept yelling telling me he didn’t care and claimed my dog “almost bit him.” Which he didn’t. This unacceptable customer service and very unprofessional. Our Thanksgiving trip was cancelled.

Kevin and David are not your usual dog sitter, they are completely committed to making your pup feel right at home and loving them as their own. They are very accommodating to your specific needs for your dogs and great at communicating so both you and your dog can relax while you are away. We received updates with pictures. Milo and Murphy were so excited to see us, but exhausted from all the fun they had. Hands down the best dog sitting experience. The Barksville Inn is the perfect place for our boys when we can’t take them on vacation with us.

Kevin and crew do a wonderful job with caring for my pup. I have an elderly dog and he loves going to Barksville. We've used Barksville for a few years and look forward to more visits in the future.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Kevin and David were able to accommodate our 8 month old puppy on very short notice and were incredibly pleasant to work with. They kept us updated throughout the day with texts and pictures of our boy, and we felt assured that he was in good hands. The dogs are allowed to roam free outdoors and indoors which allowed our pup to get his energy out rather than sit in a kennel. We will definitely be leaving our boy with the Barksville Inn anytime we are in town! ☺️

The Barksville Inn cares for my two Australian shepherds whenever I need dog boarding. My dogs always love going here and are well exercised by the time I come to pick them up. Kevin and David do a great job and I always feel my dogs are well taken care of. The Barksville Inn is a fantastic kennel free boarding place that I recommend to anyone.

Had a family emergency and couldn’t take my wife’s little guy. The Barksville Inn were quick to respond to my boarding request, let me drop him off late as we were heading out and sent regular text updates which really help calm my wife. Not having Lucky in a kennel with many other dogs, locked in a cage wire kennel was important to us and the Inn was a great find. Highly Recommend.

The best place for your pup! Kevin and David are awesome and our dog, Ozzy, gets so excited to stay there. I love that he gets to run around with other dogs, sleep where he wants, and gets tons of love and attention. So much better than having him stay in a kennel. We even left him there for 18 days over the summer and never had a concern. We got almost daily updates and pics. The price is also very reasonable and their flexibility with pickup and drop off is very generous!

The Barksville Inn saved my day when I had to make a last minute trip back to home out of the US during the holiday season, when multiple boarding places I contacted were totally filled up. Not only I was lucky to find a place with vacancy at this busy time, but it also turned out I could not have chosen a better place for my two pups, especially with one of them requiring special care. One of my pups is a rescue from a hoarding situation, who is very timid and nervous with new places, people, and dogs in general, but also is terrified being left alone, and needs daily medication. Given the situation described I was so worried about leaving my pups for the trip, but the caregivers at the Barksville Inn listened to all my detailed instructions patiently and tentatively, and assured me that they would take good care of the pups while I was gone. Thanks to their flexibility with the drop off schedule, I sent in the pups earlier than my actual travel date to make sure everything would go smoothly. When I paid a visit after a couple of days, I gladly found both pups settled in very well. The home environment was perfect for my two pups, with the more social one making friends and playing with other dogs there, and the timid one feeling safe and sleeping in a heated blanket on the couch. During my one month of travel, it’s especially heartwarming to receive picture and video updates of the two pups playing or snuggling with one of the caregivers. It was such a relief that I had chosen the Barksville Inn for my two pups, so I could leave without any concern, knowing that they were well taken care of!

Jen and James are fantastic people to work with. I completely trust that they take care of my pup and ensure she’s in a safe, fun, and comfortable environment. Their communication is fantastic, great rates, and very accommodating. I’m so glad I found this little refuge for my pup :)

We absolutely love bringing our dogs to Jen and James at the Red Maple!! Both our dogs are rescues and can be uneasy in new places but they are truly comfortable with them and are always excited to visit the Red Maple. They keep us updated everyday with pictures and details of their day. Highly recommended! - See happy puppy photos attached sent from the Red Maple during their stay!

I have never trusted bringing my dog anywhere more than I do here. She is a nervous dog and is very picky about who she likes but they have no problem taking the time Zelda needs to figure out who she’ll be buddies with. She is usually nervous with new people as well but the second I hand over the leash she’s ready to run to the kennels. They have always had no problem with special requests for things like medicine or extra brushing. Constant updates with pictures and videos are sent daily. My dog has changed so much for the better since going here so I will always use Red Maple!

We have 2 rescue pitbulls and while they are good dogs they are still "rough around the edges". We found these guys through a friend and they came highly recommended. They came to our house for a one on one training session. It was amazing and very well priced. Then both dogs went to their kennel over night. They took they time to work with the dogs. It wasn't one of those places you drop your dogs off and they are locked up the entire time. I am extremely happy with the service they provide.

We started boarding our dog during vacations with Jen and James about 8 months ago. They have done a great job helping her adjust to being a more social dog. Our dog has never given us trouble when we drop her off which I assume means she loves her time there as well. We can’t wait to start training classes very soon. Red Maple is also much more affordable than some of the kennels in Ithaca.

What a fantastic place! Jen and James are so kind and welcoming and take great care of my golden. They understand the needs of every dog. And they keep in touch and send great updates, photos and videos. I only wish Juju could go there every week!

My two fur babies had never been to a kennel prior to Red Maple. They both did great with Jen and James! They kept me updated with pictures, videos and messages. This will be there home away from home for now on! I highly recommend Red Maple!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Red Maple kennel. Jen regularly sends videos of my dog Gus playing with the other dogs via YouTube. It’s so nice to know he is being well taken care of and having fun when he is boarded in their kennel. Our Golden Doodle Gus is “special.” He’s nervous around new people and other dogs. Jen and James have the magic touch with boarders. They are easily able to accommodate Gus and meet his needs. We hired Jen to help us figure Gus out with training and it’s helped us out so much as a family. Their accommodations are well taken care of and I never worry when I leave him in their care. They accept Venmo which makes payment so easy. We really like this kennel and I would highly recommend this location to board your special pup.

Jen and James have shown an amazing awareness as to dog’s personality and needs! My Jasmin has a very sensitive personality. I did not say this to them before I left her, to be boarding with them. I only said she had not had a lot of opportunity to socialize. They slowly introduced her to appropriate “friends” and she had a wonderful stay. Jen sent frequent pictures and videos to put my mind to ease. When I picked her up Jen said Jasmin is a sweetheart and is very sensitive! We have since attended obedience classes for both dogs and had private consultations for my sheltie. In 2 sessions I have achieved confidence that my sheltie can be social and her bark is limited or none as we approach a new dog. It was a big hurdle that took me many years to resolve. I highly recommend Jen and James, The Red Maple Kennel.

We have been boarding our two senior beagles with Jen and James since they opened. Our girls love it there and we have no concerns leaving them there. They are well taken care of we get pictures, videos or texts every day. It is easy to see how much they both care about the dogs and how knowledge able they are.
