What Our Clients are Saying

Clean, convenient, and kind. They did a great job taking care of our dogs for a long holiday weekend. First time using them and we will again when we go out of town.

-- Jared B.

They are phenomenal! Used them for nearly a month to board my brother’s dog and cat while he found a new place. Prices are great, owners are friendly, and they even gave updates on how each was doing. Highly recommended and would use in the future if needed. ❤️

-- Monique E.

look at those happy boys!

I've had my dog stay at the Estes Kennels several times when going on vacations, and I feel like she is taken care of well there each time. The owner is kind and the prices are reasonable.

-- Nathaniel C.

Very accommodating. One time we didn't realize what time they closed on Sat. and we were going on vacation. They closed an hour before we contacted them and the owner met us after hours to get our dog in. He probably wouldn't want that to get out but it was an amazing how he went above and beyond for us. Plus he is very friendly.”
