I take my pup here for day care and he has the time of his life. The staff is friendly, the building is clean and my dog is always happy to be dropped off.

I brought my Havanese dog to McOsker Kennels for nail clipping. It took a minute or so. I noticed blood on the floor from one of the paws. The employee said: "It happens all the time, it is OK". No apology, no offer of help. The blood was staining my car seat, then the floor at home. A lot of blood. Next day the blood re-appeared. Again I was scrubbing the floors, feeling sad about my dog. In 9 years doing this elsewhere this was the first such occurrence and it happened at McOsker.

I boarded my two Labrador pups with McOsker kennels and could not be happier. The owner engaged the pups immediately and playfully when we arrived, and I felt comfortable that they would be well cared for. Even though there are kennels closer by, we will return here and recommend McOsker to others.

Friendly, clean, and professional atmosphere for pets! I own a grooming salon and have many years working for pet resorts. I've had a hard time finding a place for my Pyrenees, Ariel to go to that would suit her needs! Many pet resorts take handful of dogs, they are stuck in tiny crates with no bathroom area, they do not clean, etc. this place is very different and they even let me take a tour with no advance notice, which isn't typical for most places.
First of all, they have small groups of roughly 8 dogs and get a few rest breaks in between. When they do rest, they have indoor/outdoor kennels that allow them to use the bathroom if needed. It also looked like they have some sort of drainage system, if so, most daycare facilities do not have this or the indoor/outdoor kennels which is a huge bonus. The facility was clean and staff are personable and professional.
The groomers are very kind as well! You can tell they have a true passion for pets and the dogs are well taken care of and my Ariel is VERY happy with them. On top of everything, their prices are beyond reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome home away from home for their pets!
