Animal Boarding Kennels
Our dog is 8 months old; still a puppy and who loves to socialize with other dogs. My fiance and I had him boarded at this facility over Memorial Day weekend. Although the initial daycare trial went well, we had several substantial concerns with his treatment during the time he was boarded. On Sunday morning, I accessed the webcam to check on how our dog was doing. I could not find him on any of the webcams during Group Play. Concerned, I called the front desk and asked how he was doing. The receptionist replied with, "Oh he's doing great!" and noted that he was in group play with medium dogs. This was not true. I informed the receptionist that I was viewing the medium dogs' webcam and did not see my dog. The receptionist then checked for my dog and I was informed that he was being rambunctious and was apparently being kept in his kennel while all of the other dogs were out playing. My dog was then allowed to join the other dogs. When I went to pick up my dog I was given his bed back in a plastic trash bag because he tore the bed to shreds. When asked what happened, no one knew. This was reportedly due to the night shift being under-staffed over the weekend. The night shift was then contacted and I was informed that my dog "apparently" tore up his bed overnight. I immediately had concerns that he may have ingested some pieces of his bed that could result in digestion issues. Overall, my opinion of this facility is poor. I feel that if I had not called or checked up on my dog, then he would have been kept in a kennel all weekend. I further feel that he was not observed, which in addition to being excessively kept in a kennel by himself, resulted in him destroying his bed and possibly eating things that he should not be eating. If you love your dog and consider him as a family member, I would not board your dog here. There are other places that will board for much less and you'll get much more such as 24hr webcam, a bath if boarded more than 4 days, and individualized play time.

Have never brought our 2 year old golden retriever to a facility for care prior to the Barkshire. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. The facility was truly a resort for dogs! Loved everything about it and will be bringing our golden back.

Cost very reasonable for such outstanding service. Awesome... clean, appealing surroundings, creative areas for smaller dogs, beautiful outside play area, extremely competent staff. Their manager/director, Rob, is excellent, and the key to their success-- a true"dog person" .

This is by far the best kennel for dogs, providing both daycare and overnight boarding. They are just phenomenal with our dogs and they love going there. Will never use anybody else for our boarding needs!

My dog's experience has been phenomenal. I recommend them to anyone who asks when I take him walking at the dog park. I love those guys. They are professional but yet they are relaxed enough because they are covered in dog stuff. They are kind of happy. The facility is super clean. It does not stink. They have a specialized type of grass; it is not real grass that the dogs land on when they are outside. The whole yard is like one big fat drain covered with fake grass, so all of their waste goes right down through. There are other places that are cheaper but they don't have the amenities and they are not as hands-on and nor they as large. I can see why they do the pricing that they do because the facility is huge. They do have a lot of amenities. Everything about them is ecofriendly. There is not one thing that is not used that can't be recycled. They purchase all recyclable material whenever possible. They are on top for communication. I have nothing but praises for these people.
