I love this place and so does my dog. Madree and the staff are loving and caring. My dog was initially very frightened and shy and now when we get there he is so excited and happy. I highly recommend. So glad I found them.

This is not traditional boarding. Dogs are in rooms with furniture. The staff is very attentive and keep great notes.

Excellent service! Had very short notice (1day) needed to find a place to deal with some family issues. They were able to get Millie in the next morning and I even called to check in being she has never been there before and still a puppy! Excellent service, highly recommended. Thank you very much!

Madree and her whole staff are wonderful. I have a blind diabetic schnoodle and a codependent lab and they had a wonderful time for the whole week they were here. I will never board my dogs anywhere else now. Her prices are reasonable and they loved our dogs as if they were their own. The facility is in the country so my dogs had lots of room to run and lots of fresh air. They were so tired when we picked them up, I swear they slept for 2 days! If you are looking for a home away from home, Bed and Bone Too is the place.
