First time boarding for our 2 young Pomeranian's, 2 y.o. male and 18 month female. We clearly took them to the right place, and I will continue to trust Barnstone with our dogs in the future.

They were at Barnstone for just under 3 weeks. When we picked them up, they looked very well (clearly freshly bathed) and were incredibly excited to see us (a positive sign for the kennels).

During pick-up, the lady at the desk spent a considerable amount of time explaining to us how our dogs had been treated, particularly our young female - as she was initially quite shy and a little anxious (as we had anticipated). Between discussion with the lady and how our dogs were acting, it was very clear to me that our dogs had had a good time.

I had inquired at another Kennel before I found Barnstone. Not only was the other Kennel more expensive than Barnstone (especially if you added in the extras), but the other Kennel only let the dogs out of the caged area for 20 minutes a day ! Our male dog is very active, he would have gone nuts under those conditions. Barnstone let the dogs out for a considerable amount of time, based on the needs of the dog, the weather (heat) etc.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience - price, quality of service, the staff etc. I highly recommend Barnstone.
