I cannot say enough good things about this place. Our dogs have some anxiety and they've been so helpful and accommodating with their needs. We feel very comfortable having our dogs stay here and know they are in good hands.
Our elderly sheltie stayed here for five days. Staff managed to give him his pills and he continued to eat (these were issues when boarding elsewhere). I love that they offered a turkey dinner at Thanksgiving (extra fee)! However, I am giving four stars instead of five because we were sent home with most of the right things plus a baggie of another dog's treats maybe? Chicken or turkey dated 11/17 (we were there 11/25 to 11/30). One of his prescriptions was left behind, too.
Animal Inn consistently surprises us with how much they care. We’ve always had such a great experience with them but this last visit was needed at the last minute as I went into labor with our first baby. They were so accommodating and willing to work with us as we didn’t know exactly when we would be able to pick up our dog. They loved him up and sent him home with the sweetest gifts for our new baby boy 😭 we highly recommend sending all your fur babies here!
I've taken my dogs to many boarding places. I will say this one is beyond what I expected and better than the ones I've taken them too. I will be taking my dogs here from now on. The staff from registering the animals to go, to dropping off and picking up. They sent me updates every day and photos of my dogs daily too (extra charge) and it was worth it. They were so happy. It makes me feel great knowing they were in great hands.
Our pup has been coming to Animal Inn for daycare and boarding for 3.5 years. This facility and crew are top notch and they make every pet feel special. Love the creative events and activities they do for holidays and the pictures they post show happy pups who are having their best day when at daycare! Our GSD gets so excited when we turn into the parking lot she looks forward to the cuddles and playtime with her human and furry friends. Best days ever when she gets to go to Animal Inn.
