We have taken our Gracie here a few times now. It has been a awsome experience each time. The staff really goes the extra mile for you. Our Gracie had a rough week from missing us and the staff went above and beyond to help make sure they kept her happy and calm everyday of her stay.

If you're looking for quality care, this is the place for you. They specialize in one on one care with your pets. They are always up front and honest with you on how your dogs and cats are doing. Their prices are extremely fair and the rooms are super spacious.

These people are professional, thorough, and have been taking the pandemic very seriously with rigorous safety protocols. We boarded our two very high maintenance huskies with them for 10 days. Both of them came back happy, relaxed, and smelling nicer than when we dropped them off. I missed my girls a lot, but am happy they were so well cared for while I was away.

Critical: Quality First time using them and will not return. My dog came back shaking and acting weird and also his legs were yellow as if he had been laying in his pee.

I've used Baronwood off and on over the years, both for Kennel and grooming services. The prices are great, but the location is a bit far out. Grooming has been pretty good, I've had them do a dog and a cat, occasionally a little spot missed in the trimming but overall great for the price!
