Left my 3 doggies here for a week and they loved it! MK was very responsive to all my texts and they did such a good job taking care of our babies while we were away.

This facility has been taking care of my dogs for years and I cannot recommend it enough. I travel a lot, both for work and pleasure, and don't have family in the area so it's very important to me that I have a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy facility to take care of my dogs. Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently.

This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable.

All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up.

My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard.

The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon

We had a great experience boarding our dog here for 2 weeks. You can tell the owner and workers are very sweet and really care for your pets while your away. I highly recommend this kennel!

I absolutely love Rocky Canyon Kennels! They have a beautiful facility and the staff is amazing. My dog gets excited to go stay when she does. They treat her like family. I would highly recommend this is the kennel you choose to keep your family member safe during your travels.

We have boarded our 3 small dogs at Rocky Kennel for five years now. They do a terrific job taking care of them. I highly recommend.

Seems like a nice place. I dropped my dog off for a free day of doggy day care (complimentary, nice touch), after learning that they don't socialize dogs on a first visit (was going out of town, needed care for a weekend and thought it would be possible to socialize him for the weekend after the day at day care), just to learn at drop off that they won't socialize a pit bull mix at all. Very disappointed to have a discriminatory kennel in town that seemed very nice at first. They will not have my business.

My dog is social and friendly but very attached and has moderate to severe separation anxiety so I had always avoided leaving him with strangers and especially a kennel.
We left him overnight for basically 2 full days in August and again for the day in October. He loves it here! The people are all friendly and the women running the place clearly just loves dogs.

If you live around here or are up for a nice weekend of wine tasting - I would highly recommend this place for you pup!
Only bad part - you need to call a in advance, they seem to always be booked on the weekends, a good sign that my experience is the norm here.

Cheers!

Not a customer, only a potential one who had preliminary information by calling.

- Called multiple times, no answer.
- Finally someone answered and said she was too busy to answer question.
- Email? Not available
- Website? Sure
"Your application form and website give conflicting info, which one is correct?" Neither.

In the end, I could not figure out what they really offered or wanted for this business. It's a 1-star review based on preliminary experienxe. Waste of time.
