Quail Run Kennels

We are Quail Run Kennels, a family-owned and operated pet care facility located on 2.5 shaded acres in Medford, Long Island, New York, that has served the local community since 1973. For over 50 years, we have operated as the premiere boarding and training destination for dogs and cats across Long Island, with a core focus on delivering safe, comfortable, low-stress care for every animal in our charge. Our facility is run by professional dog handlers and staff with an average of 10 years of tenure at Quail Run, all of whom are trained and supervised to meet our rigorous care standards. We employ only qualified, knowledgeable, and caring team members who understand that the pets in our care are completely dependent on us for their safety and comfort during their stay. Unlike any other boarding kennel in the area, we provide every dog in our care with 24-hour access to their own private outdoor run, a feature designed to reduce stress and support their well-being. Our large, spotlessly clean, and secure facility is open for unannounced inspections during regular business hours, as we hold full transparency in our operations and care practices as a core value.

Our founder, Don Sterling, brings more than 60 years of hands-on dog experience to our training programs, including a 20-year career as a Suffolk County Police Department K-9 officer and international lecturing on police service dog functions. We offer specialized obedience training for home pet owners that draws on Dons decades of expertise working with service and companion animals, as well as his experience training police departments across the globe. We recognize that no one can replace a pets owner, so we go above and beyond to make every animals stay with us as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, tailored to their individual needs. As a long-standing member of the Better Business Bureau, we are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and client satisfaction in every interaction.
