Pet boarding/training near Audubon picked by BestProsInTown
“I’ve boarded my dog Deezel here several times, and they have taken great care of him. Deezel has always been a bit of a flight risk, so I don’t trust just anyone with his care. Deezel loves his stays here and he comes back smelling amazing with a fresh bath! 10/10 highly recommend, and Melissa and the rest of the staff are great too!”
“We recently boarded our pup at Bark U for three nights, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their check-in and check-out process runs like a well-oiled machine, making everything seamless and stress-free.<br><br>What really stood out was how much they genuinely got to know our pup. At pickup, one of his caregivers took the time to give us a detailed update on how he did both in the play yard and overnight. Since boarding and daycare are new experiences for him, they also shared thoughtful recommendations about what might help him feel even more comfortable during future stays.<br><br>It's clear that the team at Bark U truly cares about every dog in their care. We're so grateful to have found a place we can trust, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our pup is in such capable and caring hands whenever we travel. We highly recommend Bark U!”
“After being told by multiple other trainers that our dog Lola was too shut down to help, seven sessions with Alicia from At Attention Dog Training has made a world of difference. She helped us to build Lola's confidence and trust in people, as well as work on basic obedience, all with a 1 year old running around. Alicia was very knowledgeable and gave us simple, effective steps to work on with Lola.”
“Maddy groomed our dog and she did a great job. Our dog does nor like to get groomed and can be difficult, but Maddy said everything was good. Never had an issue at Wagsworth or any of their groomers.”
“Before working with Tina, we were truly at our wits' end with our doodle, Perry. He had become an entitled, snippy little brat, and if I'm being completely honest, I was fairly convinced my husband was going to drop him off at a shelter one day while I was out running errands. We loved him, but our home had become stressful, and we didn't know what else to do.<br><br>From our very first consultation, Tina took the time to listen to our concerns in regards Perry and was completely transparent about the process. She set expectations upfront, explaining that she would do the hard work during his board-and-train, but it would be our responsibility to maintain and reinforce everything he learned once he came home. More importantly, she gave us the tools and confidence to be successful.<br><br>From the moment we dropped Perry off, we felt involved every step of the way. We were given homework, received daily video updates showing his progress and explaining what they were working on each day, and even met with Tina during his stay. At that point, I can honestly say my husband was still skeptical. Tina was honest about Perry's progress and recommended keeping him a few extra days because of his stubborn, bratty attitude. We appreciated her honesty and trusted her judgment.<br><br>The morning Perry came home, we were honestly nervous. Our busy household had been so much calmer while he was away that we weren't sure what to expect. But when Tina arrived, we were absolutely blown away. She didn't just drop him off—she spent time training us in our own home, making sure we understood how to continue building on everything Perry had learned. Knowing we also have a follow-up training session available gives us even more confidence.<br><br>Since Perry has been home, he has exceeded every expectation we had. Even my husband is amazed by the transformation. He had only been home for about two weeks, but multiple friends have asked if he's a different dog. Just this morning, someone stopped me during our walk to compliment Perry's behavior and how well he walked on leash after another much larger dog was barking and lunging at us from a distance. A few weeks ago, Perry would have completely lost his mind. Instead, he stayed calm and walked right at my side. I never would have believed that was possible.<br><br>We're excited to continue working with Perry and watching him grow, but Tina has already changed our lives in ways we can't fully express. She didn't just train our dog—she changed the entire dynamic of our home and helped us keep a beloved member of our family when we were honestly afraid we might be forced to make a different decision.<br><br>If you're considering working with Tina, don't hesitate. Her honesty, communication, dedication, and expertise are truly exceptional, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Perry and for our family.”
“We have been taking our dogs and cats to SKIPPACK Veterinary for years . They took such good care of our fur babies. Very clean office and staff is warm but professional.”
“Very well organized and for us they hit all the basic commands we wanted for our puppy like sit, stay, and much more. Definitely worth going but you do need to practice at home for things to work because they're not miracle workers so expect to do homework to get something out of it. Overall I'd highly recommend them.”
“We love sending our dog to Perfect Pooch.<br>We were just in Europe for 10 days and didn't worry at all. We knew Remi was in great hands!!”
“I’m so happy I stopped putting off taking my dogs in for an eval! I tried to do daycare at other places, but my under 30 lb dogs get really stressed with big, high energy friends. I used to not be able to take my dogs to any daycare because of this - they wouldn’t last 5 minutes during the eval alone. They really needed something separated by size, & K9 Resorts has this. Now they actually have a place to go when we need it!”
“Wonderful people and I highly recommend Bridgeport Veterinary with full confidence. They treat my baby his whole life or 7 years. The atmosphere is so calming for parents and fur babies alike. Love the staff, patience is through the roof, and they understand your baby's needs. Thank you for being there when I need you.”
“I do not like to leave my dogs…I was very anxious knowing I wouldn’t see them for over a week. I chose GVPH because they offer family boarding, which meant I could board all 3 of my dogs together in one large kennel. That was very important to me, because one of my dogs suffers with extreme anxiety. My dogs were able to play, eat and sleep together. The staff went over and above making sure my anxious baby felt loved and secure. So happy with my decision! We’ll be back!”
“Been using the Cats Only Hospital for the past few years now. Doctor Ask is very knowledgeable and has a very friendly staff that is also well educated. I would definitely recommend for your sick kitten or just for the usual check up!”
“My experience has been that they genuinely care about my dog's wellbeing much more than making money. They have been thorough and honest with respect to his care. There have also been opportunities where they could have unnecessarily ran up the bill with unnecessary things and they have not done that, which is something I really appreciate and has really grown my trust in them”
“Our husky has been going to waggy tails for over 2 years now. Sarah and Mikey are the BEST! We have full confidence in the facility, staff, and owners. They have great communication with their clients, sending report cards, and pictures of your dog at the facility. We use their daycare weekly and when we needed them to Board our dog for 9 nights, it went amazing! We are so lucky to have Waggy Tails so close to us. I’d highly recommended this facility!”
“My dog hasn’t been back in quite some time just because …of life . . We go back today and 3 employees were at the door welcoming my Walter !! They loved him up and made me feel so comfortable leaving him again. I was updated with photos and a report card . This is now my only place I choose for my best friend.”
“I’ve used other boarding facilities and I must say this one is by far our best experience. The dogs are well taken care of and given so much love. We drop off and the dogs know that they are in for a great week. My daughter and other family members started boarding here and are beyond happy with the care. We highly recommend them!!!”
“Dr Maxwell and Dr Goldacker have been great for my rabbits, they try to fit you in when possible, and the prices are very reasonable. They try to explain things clearly and concisely in regards to there care. I'm very happy they are there and everyone in the practice is great to deal with including receptionists and vet tech staff. Thank you very much!”
“Old school doc! I love it. Simple to make appointments, well priced, and very sweet to my pups.”
“I don’t need my black lab to do tricks or rollover or do anything like that. My goal is to have her be “civilized.” To not jump up on people. To walk nicely beside me. To come when called. To drop things she picks up when I tell her to. To not freak out whenever a neighbor with a dog walks past. I have finally found the solution to all of this…<br><br>I have tried training my dog with two different online programs and several group classes with other trainers. For all the time and money spent with these groups, the results were very minimal. (After several weeks of daily training with the online program, my dog would look at me when I said her name… That’s it!)<br><br>Meanwhile, after I discovered John and Molly’s Country Kennels, within 2 training sessions Raven was loose leash walking, would stay when told to, and was noticeably more “civilized.” Now, when we are walking and come to an intersection, she stops and sits without even being told to.<br><br>I’ve had a few more sessions since, and she is well on her way to no longer being reactive around other dogs, squirrels, rabbits, or deer — and coming instantly when called. It’s especially nice that he can bring other dogs into the sessions to work on reactivity and overcoming distractions.<br><br>John really knows his stuff!He is wonderful with dogs and people. Raven is always very happy and excited to see him, and he is excellent about explaining to me what we are doing and why (without making me feel stupid.) Because of this, I can continue with training on my own, confident that I am doing it right.<br><br>When we are training, I never feel rushed or like he is watching a clock. We make significant improvements with her behavior every session. His staff (especially Debbie) are very friendly and helpful. It is clear that John’s caring, patient and positive attitude permeates his business.<br><br>John’s facilities are amazing! The nicest I have ever seen. (He even has an in-ground pool for the dogs in the summer!) And I can tell by how he introduces dogs to each other that he really pays attention to how they are interacting, to make it a great experience for the dogs. We haven’t gone on vacation yet to board my dog, but I am sure that when we do, Raven will have as good a vacation as I do! I trust John to keep Raven safe and happy.<br><br>After a few sessions, someone who hadn’t seen Raven in a few months asked me how old she was. (She is a black lab, about to turn 4. Super high energy.) He thought maybe she was older because she was no longer barking or going crazy when people and other dogs walked past. She is just as high energy, but now she’s becoming civilized.<br><br>If you’re looking for a training experience that is positive for you and your dog, or for a boarding kennel that your dog will love, John and Molly’s Country Kennels is the place to go.”
“Just picked up my German Shepherd from EnVi after his week long slumber party. He absolutely loves it there!!!<br>I never felt once like I needed to check on him. I knew he was in perfect and attentive hands with Victoria and her staff.<br>While I didn’t ask, Victoria sent photos of him playing with the other campers and you could tell he was having an amazing time!!<br>What peace of mind when going on vacation to know he is being taken such good care of!!!”
“Boarding my third dog at What A Good Dog. Wonderful, caring people in a beautiful place!”
“We have been bringing our pup to Miss Drew's for over a year and could not be happier with both their daycare and boarding services. My pup goes to daycare excited, is greated with smiles and pets, eagerly awaits her end-of-day treat, and comes home pleasantly exhausted. All of the dogs have a special place in the hearts of Miss Drew and her Crew.”
“This is both of our dogs favorite place to go to. Whenever we need daycare or boarding they are always available. The grooming services are top notch, and the staff is great.<br><br>The enrichment programs are especially fun for the dogs and us owners.”
“The owner, Kathy is an exceptional groomer, friendly, courteous and cares a lot about pets and animals. I deal with and service groomers in 3 states and she's one of the best groomers I have ever known. Her kennels are well taken care of and she knows her business. If I lived in her area I wouldn't take my dog anywhere but to her!”
“My girl loves it here, and we love seeing the fun pics from here day. Keep going here even though we move twice as far away as when we started.”
“We recently started using Dogtopia for dog daycare and have been very pleased with the service. Roxanne weighs in at 12lbs so at first we were a bit nervous leaving her as it appeared most of the dogs were bigger than her. There have been no issues! The staff is so kind and patient and little Roxanne now looks forward to spending time with her new friends!”
