They have watched our dog a few times and we are super happy with this place. The staff is friendly and did an amazing job taking care of our dog Zeus. When we picked him up my dog smelled so good. They washed and cleaned him before we got there. Highly recommend this place.

Love this place. They are so caring and CeCe really likes it there. Only 1 time so far but really enjoyed meeting them. They gave us great advice for our labradoodle tummy problems. Thank you!

My dog had his first day at Shores Kennels yesterday and I can already tell this place is going to be an absolutely perfect fit for him! I love all the open space they allow for the dogs, I can tell that all of the staff are genuinely concerned with the dogs' wellbeing and happiness, and they are very flexible and easy to work with for scheduling. Compared to other daycares around the area, I could tell my dog was excited to go to Shores Kennels as soon as we pulled in the driveway yesterday morning. Thank you!

This place is Amazing! Donna and her staff always is ready to run the extra mile for the good of the Dogs. My husband and I Travel to see our family out of town and left our two dogs with Donna. She was amazing, she treated our smallest dog Pippa like her own dogs. Pippa is very shy around strangers and other dogs but Donna went the extra mile in making her feel comfortable. Our bigger dog, Baloo is more outgoing and had the chance to meet other dogs and interact with them, he was playing all the time.
We are very happy with their service, at the time of pickup our dogs looked very happy, clean and in good conditions. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place. They will take care of your baby.
