Heike is very warm and friendly. She is easy to communicate with. We are thankful for her time minding the animals. She agreed to the sit with rather short notice on our part for which we are grateful. Heike left the house very clean and tidy. It was a pleasure to have her.
Colin and Shirley were the most amazing housesitters. They came down the night before we left and stayed in their motor home that night so that we could meet them and their gorgeous dogs before we went away. They walked and ran miles with our dogs every day & sent regular photos and updates on what they’d been up to. The dogs clearly adored Colin and Shirley and had the best week of adventures with their dogs. They left the house spotless and even washed and dried all their sheets/towels etc so we didn’t have any extra washing to do when we got back. They were the perfect housesitters & we feel so lucky to have found them.

I am what you can say an overly cautious pet momma. My girls (dogs) have had issues in the past with each other and it makes it difficult for me to leave them in someone else’s care. I had 100% confidence and trust in Kianna to stop in on my girls and look out for them while I was away. I got pictures and a full run down on how my clowns behaved. My girlies loved the visit from their friend and will definitely be using her again at any point! Highly recommend!
We have been boarding our rough collie here for a few years. After a horrible kennel experience somewhere else when we had initially moved here before the pandemic, we needed to find another place to board with rather quickly. We were …
I have had the best experience for a nail trim for Dottie than other places I've gone...the people are pleasant...they even made a spring ribbon 🎀 for her collar...the nail cutting was great....Dottie hardly minded...very comfortable with my Dottie...Thank You Kieffers Kennel Boarding and Grooming …
Owners are so nice! Place is VERY clean. Prices are reasonable. My dog did not seem stressed out when I picked her up so she must have had a good experience. Will definitely be using them again!
I guess you have to be white to not get the experience I have had with them. They have been rude since the week I had put my dog there, telling me they don't feed and boardy dog for free when he had his own that was about 3wks ago. Then …
Just boarded my lab there for 8 days. Very pleased. Kind owner. My dog was happy and well fed when I picked him up. I used to board him at Gochenaurs before their prices became insane and from there, he would be anxious and smelled so strongly of urine. MUCH better experience here.
There disrespectful and have been discriminating towards people because of there appearance and how they present there self. No person or dog should have to go through that. At any place, shape or from. I go get my dog from this place on the 29th of this month (June) cause they say he was sick they wouldn't let me take him or bring him back. I see why now he had got some infection and a UTI from being there. They are nasty people there.
We have been taking our dog for years and have no concerns when dropping her off. The place is clean, and the owners are nice and easy to work with. The only thing is their limited hours.
Just picked up Otto and he seemed very happy. Very clean place and owners are nice. He requires eye meds and they were very accommodating. Will definitely use them again.
We boarded our dog here once (over Labor Day weekend) and she seemed fine if a bit hoarse and tired. Never got kennel cough or anything like that. It's a small business but seemed clean, etc. We were satisfied if not overjoyed. However, the customer service here is terrible. I've never reached a human being even when I call during their operating hours, and they take literally HOURS to call you back (which just fills this pet lover with comfortable safe feelings). This by itself isn't great, but the kicker was today. I called and left a voicemail asking if they were available for some April dates to board my dog again. I received a voicemail back saying that they'd looked me up and that 1) I had never boarded my dog with them, 2) that I had made a reservation last July that I was a no call/no show for, and 3) that I should call the kennel I boarded my dog with instead. There was absolutely no concern whatsoever about whether or not they even got my name right (they didn't). They called me back (voicemail - I was putting kid to sleep) saying that I was definitely a no call/no show for that weekend, and that I did not board with them Labor Day weekend, and that I had the wrong kennel. For the record... they give you so many branded scratch pads, post-its, etc. that we've been literally stocked up all winter. Guess I just randomly stole all their stuff. So... I guess if you like bad record-keeping, being wrong simply because they say so, and not being able to have actual real-time conversations with people... board your dog here.
I boarded my dog here one time before, no issues. Now the second time I went to have him boarded they made the drop off and pick up hours extremely difficult to work around especially for people who are leaving for vacation. So once we found someone who was able to drop our dog off I called the kennel back AFTER they had already confirmed the dates with me and I let them know the name of the person dropping off and picking up, I was then told I couldn’t board the dog there any longer. Literally less then 24 hours prior to them telling me my dog was able to be boarded.. if you are going to have such short drop off and pick up times then they should have been willing to work with us when we found someone to help us with the drop off and pick up. I am extremely upset and disappointed with this business. I won’t be bringing my dog back here. There’s also no grass area for my dog to run which is another factor in this decision going forward.
Kasey is very competent, attentive and responsible with the care of our pets. She kept our dog very active and engaged the entire time she was with her. She is eager to provide fun updates (photos, reels) of what she and your beloved furry …
Kasey was professional and showed a real love and concern for our Bailey. I highly recommend her and I will request her services again.
Thank you to Kasey for the great care of our new rescue dog while we were away!
Kasey is a great worker who does whatever it takes to get the job done. Recommended without hesitation. 👍 …
Kasey couldn't have been more wonderful to my dog Teddy and cat, Ti. Thank you Kasey.
April is the best! She cares for my dogs as if they were her own. She's very reliable and has a true passion for helping dogs. I have hired her for walks and playtime during long work days as well as for dog-sitting for vacations, …
