Alcove kennels, comfort in our home

Pet care experience

I’ve had pups all of my life and I have finally decided to start my own kennel! I live on a country back road in the outskirts of Albany with 7 acres of land for your pet to enjoy playing! Check me out at alcovekennels!

I recently boarded my three dogs at Alcove Kennels. The facility is really nice and clean. Melissa and her husband are extremely pleasant, and it is very obvious that they love dogs as well. Melissa was a great communicator, and sent me updates and pictures daily, which I really appreciated. My dogs came back home happy and healthy. We will definitely be using their services again!

Melissa and her partner took great care of my dog, who has some anxiety being boarded. They were super communicative, caring, and flexible. I'm so grateful to them! Thanks both :)

Melissa was hands-down the best care provider that our dog Murphy has ever experienced. She kept me updated, sent videos/pictures and treated Murphy like one of her own. From the moment I arrived, Murphy felt at home and ease with her; even sitting by her side while I was in the room at drop-off. I think he was actually smiling. I will never use another boarder again! Alcove Kennels is now Murphy's home away from home.
