I brought my six month old husky to Northern Paws for his first boarding experience ever. The staff took excellent care of him, and I was worried since he is such a high-energy dog. I will not hesitate to bring him back here and would recommend Northern Paws Pet Lodge to anyone!

We take our 11 year old husky here for boarding and are so happy we do. They take care of her so we'll and they have a great space for the dogs to play outside. She gets let out multiple times a day. The place is clean and the staff are friendly.

Northern Paws took great care of our high energy dog while we were away. They even made some accommodations for him to help him settle in which was much appreciated. Very clean facility with a lot of room to run and play outside. We will definitely be using this place for boarding again!
