Five stars is no where enough for this resort. We were very sad & worried to leave our Katie. She was going for a 30 day training. On our first visit we realized she was doing great. Can't begin to tell you how that eased our minds & heart. The den moms are so loving & caring. Katie's trainer Bridget is awesome & Katie just loved her. Not to mention Katie made a lot of new friends. If you need training or just a safe happy place for your babies look no further. Amazing job Circle Star Pet Resort!

They were absolutely amazing. They were very informative about everything as well as keeping us updated with our sweet girl. They don't judge any breeds and love all animals. When we picked our girl up she almost didn't want to leave she showed us that everyone treated her right and with love. Thank you guys for loving our girl and doing such an amazing job with her. For reference our 7 month old blue and red mix pit did the 30 day obedience program and came out as perfect as possible.

We have never boarded our Baby girl Maya! We were very anxious, however we entrusted Circle Star Pet Resort for 3 days and we are so glad we did! They really cared and took excellent care! Rachael was her den mom and she gave her personal attention and gave her the prescribe medications for her hip and allergies! We enjoyed seeing the daily photographs that were posted on Facebook!

Every photo we saw, Maya looked happy! I would definitely recommend them for all fur babies! We even have her booked for a 6 day stay! Thank you for taking good care of our fur baby Maya!

We were a little nervous leaving our pets at Circle Star as this was the first time that we had kenneled them. However, we were quickly put at ease with our initial trip to the facility and after meeting the staff. Having access to happy pictures of our pets at the end of the day was also comforting. We will definitely use Circle Star Pet Resort in the future.

We absolutely love this resort for our sweet Sissy. We are very very glad we found it. All the den moms are so knowledgeable and friendly. We also love that they have options on the kennel choice. Very competitively priced and worth every penny. I can't sing their praises enough! We take sissy there every few weeks to play either for daycare or an overnight stay. LOVE IT! We love the daily FB photos too! Here are some of them

We had never boarded our fur babies anywhere. We entrusted them to Circle Star for 4 days and we are so glad we did. They really care about our babies and take excellent care of them. Rachel was their den mom and she gave them personal, excellent care; even giving them prescribed medication for thunderstorm anxiety. I love the daily photos on Facebook.

They always looked like they were having a great time! I was able to call and get a detailed report about how they were doing. It is expensive, but worth every penny. We already have them booked for 2 more stays. Highly recommend Circle Star Pet Resort!

This place is amazing and beautiful. Our pup got to run around all day and play with others while we were gone. She slept the whole way home and was exhausted.mission accomplished. Everyone was attentive and patient with our first visit and we appreciated that. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend to other fur families!

I was just telling Tamra yesterday at pick up how much we love and appreciate all the employees here as well as the business as a whole. We've left our dogs at one other boarding facility and will never do it again. My poor basset cried for 4 days when we picked her up. When we board at circle star i always have picked up a VERY happy girl. It's obvious that she missed me but that she had a wonderful time.

Now we have two dogs and believe Circle Star is worth every penny and more. If you want to know your pet will be well cared for, THIS is where to send them for sure. We've been loyal customers for coming up on nine years and will be for the years to come. There's no where else for us

This is the only place we trust to keep our fur babies. They're always very well taken care of, and always greeted with a smile. Our babies love it there, they're always up wagging their tales as soon as we pull into the driveway to drop them off.
