We reserved Silverbrook Kennels for our boarding choice while going on vacation for a few days. The entire process was easy and the staff are all very friendly. I originally called and wanted to walk the facility to see what the kennel looked like to ensure I was comfortable with boarding my pups there. The facility appeared to be clean and up kept. We were not allowed to see the inside of the facilities but the staff were accommodating in sending us pictures so we could see.
During my pups stay, we did not receive any phone calls or updates so we assumed they were happy and healthy. I would say that would be the only thing if we would receive updates via text or email that would have made me feel more assured but overall we were really happy with the process. Our dogs returned to us happy and didn't seem stressed whatsoever. We would definitely bring them back again. Thank you!

Oh this place was a joy to find! After touring MANY other boarding facilities in the area, the staff and property at Silverbrook was a godsend. I have two large labs and they love it! Little pricier than some in the area (though not unreasonable), but honestly the peace of mind is so worth it.

Silverbrook Kennels are excellent: professional; knowledgeable; & responsive. We've used both their boarding and training services, and were very pleased with both. After training with them, we have an entirely new dog who is rock solid, calm, and obedient. Very highly recommend.
