We had a great experience boarding our two boxers over the weekend. I love that we were able to customize the experience for each dog since we have one that loves daycare and one that does better with one-on-one playtime. We received detailed report cards and our dogs came back happy, healthy, and worn out. This will definitely be our new go-to for boarding!
I left my 3 kitties there for one night. It definitely takes time for my cats to acclimate, but I wanted to do a one night trial to see how my kitties would do since I am going on an international trip in a couple of months. I will definitely use Now Boarding again! I can tell the kitties that are there are well taken care of. It's clean and the condos have little cubbies and their own litter box. The staff there were gentle and kind with my cats! I definitely trust them to take care of my cats while I'm gone.
My dog was there for less than 24 hours, had fun with new friends, and was cared for like he was there’s. We dropped our pup off because we were only in town briefly and wanted to visit a few not dog friendly spots. The 24 hour model made this easy, convenient and efficient for us.
Now Boarding was recommended to me by a neighbor and I’m so grateful to have found them! I have boarded my longhaired dachshund a few times, used their doggy daycare on occasion, and I take my dog most Sundays to Mini Romp; a playgroup for dogs under 20 pounds. My reactive, nervous, dog LOVES the staff and loves going there. I book online, which is quick and easy. The Mini Romp is well supervised. There’s no fighting, humping, or other bad behaviors tolerated. Staff is constantly picking up and sanitizing, as the dogs do their business. There are plenty of slides, tunnels, and things to climb/interact with, both inside and outside. The staff are true dog lovers, who give the dogs lots of love and attention. It’s a super friendly, professional, reliable, well-maintained outfit where you can feel comfortable leaving your beloved pet. For boarding: Their website is great for uploading docs and leaving specific instructions. They confirm all specifics when you check in, and go over all special instructions, including food and medicine. I bring my dog’s little tent, toys, and blankets for comfort. When I pick him up, I receive all items, which have been clearly labeled with his name. Nothing ever gets lost. Boarding your dog comes with a report card and photos. Their attention to detail is fabulous. They gave me a tour of the boarding facilities, and it’s great to know what their set up and procedures are. Most importantly - the phone is answered, calls and email are returned, and their communication is excellent! I can’t say enough about them. They’ve been my lifesaver and my dog’s happy place.
My family went on vacation together so my mother had to board her cats for the first time in 5 years. We were very nervous because the last time they had been boarded one of the boys had been neglected to the point where they hadn’t noticed he was over grooming a spot the size of a quarter dollar at the base of his tail. It took 3 years and a Prozac Rx for him to treat the anxiety that first appeared there. HOWEVER, our experience here at Now Boarding was wonderful. I had looked at multiple companies and this was the only one that had a dedicated cat area that didn’t look like a glorified janitor's closet. Plus, they allowed me to stop by before we booked to make sure the area was clean and consistent with what was seen online without making an appointment. Not only was it consistent with the pictures, in my opinion it looked even better in person. You could tell the animals were well taken care of and that the litter boxes were cleaned regularly. We dropped them off the afternoon before our flight and picked them up at 7:30 at night when we got back. We called almost everyday and got good updates on how they were doing, making sure that Sven wasn’t over-grooming, and making it flexible for the boys to get extra play time when it was determined it would be beneficial and they wouldn’t just hide. They didn’t try to upsell us additions they didn’t need or wouldn’t use and when Sven decided to go on a hunger strike they gave us updates on how they were addressing it. When we did pick them up the boys were happy to see us, and extra affection when they got home, but Sven had no bald spot and they have gotten back to normal quicker than I would have ever imagined. Yes, more expensive than other places, but you get what you pay for and those boys are worth it. When we travel again we will absolutely be bringing them back here, no questions asked.
