We couldn’t be more grateful for River Ridge Kennels. We were away for three weeks for our wedding and honeymoon, and not once did we worry about our sweet Maya. The entire place is spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and has plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and just be happy.

We had a wonderful experience with River Ridge Kennels over the holiday weekend! They took excellent care of my dog, and I picked her up clean, healthy, happy, and clearly well-cared for.

Alison was wonderful to work with for boarding our dog. I had reached out to visit the facility before deciding and was welcomed to come. While we were away she sent me a quick update on how he was doing. We know he was treated like their own dog while he stayed! Thanks for a great experience, definitely recommend!
