Preferred Pet is really the perfect place for day care and boarding for your dog. The staff is very friendly and my little man loves going there to play. While on a week long trip, he stayed and was obviously very comfortable and happy while staying there. He's always so eager to return.

Amazing day care! Our dog Jasper is a high energy pup who loves playing with any dog - he is tired everytime he comes home. Jasper also gets excited everytime we pull into the parking lot and sprints to the door! Also love the photos they put up on facebook everyday of all the dogs! Highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have found Preferred Pet Care for our dog. Our dog is always excited to go there. She pulls towards the door when we arrive in the parking lot. She has been to many day cares in the past. Preferred Pet Care is very responsive, truly care for the dogs, and accommodates the needs of the pets and the owners. I've been recommending Preferred Pet Care to my neighbors. I highly recommend Preferred Pet Care, and our dog will surely continue to go to Preferred Pet Care!
