User Reviews for Care A Lot Daycare & Boarding

I was thinking about putting our dog in Care-A-Lot for about a week while we go on out of town. We've taken a tour before, and it SEEMED to be nice... We usually use another facility, but have thought about trying other options. I came to this site to find out more info on their practices and to read what other patrons thought about their experiences. I've read some disturbing stuff. Is there anyone out there that can assure me that my "baby" will be given the best care and attention? (Other then the staff... they seem to think they are 5 -stars in every category). I wonder if a staff member has ever used their own facility?

I've read the reviews and want to give my two cents... We are long time users of Camp Care A Lot. We typically board our golden retriever 3-4 weeks a year plus weekends around the holidays. We are dropping him off this evening (Saturday evening b/t 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.). He will be joined by his new puppy "sister" golden. They will be boarded together in a deluxe kennel. I planned ahead to get the puppy all her shots. They will also get a bath before I pick them up in a week. Our dog loves it there!!!! He always gets excited when we drop him off. When we get him back, he is so tired because he loves "running with the pack" for a week. After a day of rest at home, he's back to his energetic self. The staff is professional. They have strict time schedules on the weekends and close at nap time. You just need to plan ahead. Once I came at nap time to drop off and they were very friendly and accommodating (but I won’t incontinence them like that again). The facility is clean. I've toured it more than once. I'm surprised to hear of the complaints. People need to plan ahead and take responsibility for themselves with regard to the scheduled drop off / pick up times on weekends. All of their hours are clearly posted. I've used other kennels that wouldn’t even have limited weekend hours. Other kennels either kept our large dog in a cage all week, or had outside play yards, but he was put back in the kennel wet and developed hot spots. At Camp Care A Lot, our pet is happy and healthy!
