What Our Customers Say

“Very impressed! My dog Lola has not been boarded for eight years because it was not a very good experience. We have had family friends come stay with her instead but are needing other options. I have toured several kennels and have not found any that I have felt comfortable with. I took Lola in for a meet and greet at Country Pup and was instantly sold. Their facility is so clean! It has a very calm feeling which makes it easier to leave Lola. She is an anxious little dog. I love the fact that they have someone on site 24/7, the dogs are always monitored, the staff is friendly, the owners are involved, and they truly care about what is best for your four-legged family member. Lola has been there for two daycare visits and just had her first weekend of overnight boarding. Hands down better than any other place I have seen. I would highly recommend going in for a meet and greet and seeing for yourself.”

“Absolutely amazing facility! Our doodles are staying in the end of April and we just had our first grooming experience. They were so gentle and patient with my 9 month old mini golden doodle. Can’t recommend this boarding kennel enough! Definitely need to come see for yourself because we started with a tour, and that sold us instantly. It’s so clean and the owners are hands on! So great to see them care so much about the health and safety of our dogs while we are gone.”

“This morning we took our English Bulldog Ozzy to Country Pup Kennel for grooming. When we picked Ozzy up we were very impressed with the amazing job his groomer Amy did, and even more impressed with how happy Ozzy appeared. This is not common for Ozzy who has anxiety when he isn’t familiar with his surroundings. I also had the opportunity to meet the owner Sam (she), who gave me a personal tour of their NEW facility. I was very impressed with how clean the grooming area and boarding kennel was, as well as the state-of-the-art amenities as we walked through the facility! My wife and I often travel for work, so it was comforting knowing we have a better option for kenneling Ozzy when needed. This was our first visit to Country Pup Kennel, and it will definitely not be our last!!”
