I spoke with the owner of this boarding place about 3 months before thanksgiving and all she talked about was herself. I tried to explain to her my little yorkie's and Pomeranian's needs both medically and mentally. We spoke for over 45 min on the phone (mostly about her). I had asked her if she new anything about seizure dogs and again she just talked and talked about her dogs. I don't think she has any animal medical knowledge or any kind of training/animal behavioral education what so ever. I called her back about 4 weeks later to confirm my boarding and she had no clue who I was and had nothing available. What a waist of my time. That's ok I found an awesome boarding place that took my dog's last minute. Their place was huge, warm, friendly and most of the staff were trainers or animal nurses. They gave me a moment to moment chart of what they did, ate, pooped and if my little baby had siezures and they even timed them and called me everytime. Very professional. If your going to charge people money for your boarding then you are a business. When you are a business you should be professional and remember a 45 min conversation you have with someone on the phone. At least write it down. Don't childcare givers have to have some sort of childcare background or education?? Should it not be the same for animal care? I now know I prefere a kennel, dog daycare or animal hospital to board my animals. They have way more training and I know that they are in professional's hands. I think animal nurses and veterinarians love animals more than these small ma and pa places, because they took the time and money to go to school.

Pros: grass? How do they clean it?

Cons: no animal education

I would not allow someone to keep me on the phone for 45 minutes, i'm busy. When someone calls I have a few pertinent questions to ask. I never reserve a boarding date over the phone. I always arrange for a meet and greet with the dog at my home before scheduling a boarding date. A vet record of current shots must be brought to the meeting. I don't take in dogs at the last minute for everyone's safety as to medical history and temperment. I have been caring for dogs for 6 years and have many satified dog lovers who come back regularly with their "children" I do not charge extra for dogs who need shots or medication. If you want to see for yourself call and make an appointment for a vist with your pooch.
