We had a wonderful experience with Austin! He was very communicative and shared many photos of our pup. We look forward to booking with him again soon!

Austin was available on short notice, was quick to communicate and did a great job with our pups. He also left us some extra dog toys which was super nice of him! Will book again, would recommend

Austin was great. I could tell that Lola was happy in the photos and her Santa photo was priceless. She was so happy to see me when I got back but she wasn't pulling to get in the car, and wanted more attention from him, which is a great sign that she had a good stay for ten nights. We'll be back the next time I travel without her.

Information Austin M. would like to know about your pet

Typically we like to know if the dog digs, barks more than "normal", or has aggressive tendencies towards people or other dogs so that we know which area will best fit their needs. Pictures will be posted to the Instagram page so that you may see what they are up to on their vacation and meet their new friends!

A typical day

Each dog has an individual run and will take turns being out with the Kennel attendants. We actively rotate through the dogs to ensure each gets proper stimulation and a good rest period in between sessions. We throw the ball, play frisbee, run the dogs around the farm, and have them visit the different species of animals we have on the property.
