I cannot say enough wonderful things about Watsons Kennel’s. Sue and family took such good care of Doobie. My pittie mix is an anxious boy and he was so relaxed and very well taken care of when we picked him up. They treated our fur baby just like he was one of their own. Knowing our boy is so loved and cared for definitely lets us relax! 5⭐️ and 12/10!!!!

We have been boarding our dog Baxter at Watson's over this last year and are so glad we found them! They truly love what they do and it shows un this immaculate facility. Our dog is loved and doted on his entire stay. Sue also is a groomer. That is a wonderful add on service for your dog to get while they stay. You won't be disappointed choosing Watsons Kennels!

We love Watson’s Kennels! The owners have years of experience and it is clear the pups in their care are their priority. The facility is small and amazingly clean. I like that the owners are on-site and feel very comfortable boarding my pup with them. My Daisy gets excited when we pull into the drive. The owners love the pups and it shows. I highly recommend Watson’s Kennels!

I recently boarded my dog Hazel (60lbs for size reference) with Sue for a week long trip, and it couldn't have gone better!!!!I have boarded with 6 other boarding facilities prior to Sue and have had issues with every other one. Sue is the first person to ever take care of my dog the way that I am comfortable with, and money was never even on my mind when looked for a place for her to stay. However, it is worth noting that Sue is surprisingly affordable so she really just wins all the way around!I felt like Sue really listened to me about concerns and nerves, and the best example of this is with Hazel's paws. I told her that she always ends up with cuts on her paws when boarding for some reason, and other places always miss it and one even told me with 100% confidence that she was in heat. My dog is spayed and was not in heat, she just had a cut paw. I didn't even ask her to do this, but Sue frequently checked Hazel's paws because of this concern! I had only mentioned it in case she found blood, but she decided to check throughout the week and Hazel never had any cuts!My dog cannot be with other dogs while I am away because one time at a different boarding place, she was being rude to another dog (trying to get him to play when he didn't want to), and that dog ended up biting her. Sue doesn't just throw dogs together and hope it works out, she spends time getting to know your dog and works with them as an individual. I liked this instead of the pack mentality that you find at a lot of other places. From what I understand, she would put your own dogs together though, so if you have more than one, they would be able to play.Another thing I really liked was that Hazel has trust issues when it comes to people taking her out to potty, so she always has accidents unless it is me, my fiancé, or my parents taking care of her. It took us a long time to get her fully potty trained with just us! Sue told me to just bring back the blanket next time and she's comfortable working with her trying to help her understand to go outside during boarding as well. Also, despite all of her accidents, she didn't come home crusted in urine. At some other facilities it has been so bad that we have to carry her in and bathe her immediately. Hazel at least wasn't sitting in her own pee for hours, and Sue washed the blanket every time she peed on it.Additionally, the communication with Sue was really good. She responded to texts on the same day, and was able to provide pictures and updates on Hazel whenever I requested it! If you talk to her on the phone or in person, you're going to pick up on the fact that she really is a dog person right away. My gut just told me "YES" when I talked to her for the first time. Then, when we came in, she was happy to show us where Hazel would be staying, even though they were right in the middle of a hectic cleaning! As for cleanliness, they clean every morning. Dogs are definitely housed there, but it doesn't smell like some other facilities where it reeks of urine and unwashed dog, so you can tell they take cleaning seriously!Lastly, something you wouldn't think I would have to mention but clearly do after my experiences at other places, Sue actually fed my dog! I always portion out Hazel's meals, and every time I picked her up from somewhere else, there were some that were not fed to her. Sue used all the baggies with food, so I'm glad my baby got to eat!Hazel only gets a blanket because she chews up her beds during boarding usually, but you're free to bring your own bedding here too! The floors are heated as well in the winter.Overall, I'm going to be coming back for sure! She's wonderful and cares for my dog!

Watson’s Kennels is wonderful!! Sue is amazing with our 2 boys. We know they are being well-cared for and will come home happy & healthy. Her facility is very clean. It’s a great setup for the dogs. It’s small so not stressful like the large boarding facilities. And besides their outdoor run area there is another nice outdoor area for them to run around & burn off some energy. They are happy when they arrive so I know they enjoy being there. Your fur babies will be in good hands at Watsons Kennels!!

We LOVE Watson's Kennels. Sue and Ronnie are great with our dog and we never have to worry while we are out of town. She even sends updates on how he is doing. He has play time and gets the attention he needs. We don't trust anyone else with our dog while we are gone!!! It makes it easier to leave the fur babies when they are at a place like this.

Our family traveled over Christmas break and found ourselves in need of boarding services for the first time ever. I asked friends for referrals and inquired of our vet as well. I then called various boarding facilities to get more information, check availability, etc. From our first conversation, Sue Watson was fabulous. She and her husband have been doing this for a VERY long time and have a wealth of experience. She was kind, thorough and answered every question I had. She then offered to have me stop past the kennel for a tour. The moment I arrived and walked in, my decision was made and I KNEW this was where we'd board our three pugs. The kennel was clean. The runs were spacious. There are indoor/outdoor spaces. The kennel is attached to the Watson's home -- so the owners are right there. The whole process was easy -- and Sue was very accommodating when our return flights were delayed and I was late to pick up our pugs. I cannot recommend Watson's Kennels enough. When the need for boarding arises in the future, without a doubt we will use their services again. Thank you so much!

I’ve know the Watson’s for years. There Kennel is like taking your pet to a close friends house. You can trust that they will treat your pet like there own! My Bruno loves going there and sometimes doesn’t want to come home with me when I pick him up. I would highly recommend them.

If you are looking for a great place to board your dog then look no further. Watson's Kennels is the only place that I will board my Rottweiler. Kennels are cleaned every day. Kennels are air conditioned and heated. Owners live on the premises so they are very close in case of an issue. I highly recommend this kennel.

Ron and Sue are the only people I trust to leave my dog with. They are kind, compassionate, and take care of your pet as one of their own. Highly recommend their services from boarding to routine baths. Simply the best!

Sue was wonderful with our little girl! Stella does not enjoy getting her nails trimmed from her previous experiences, but we saw her do Stella’s nails with no problem and they look great!

You will not find better humans, let alone someone to watch over your pup, than Sue and Ronnie. If they don’t have room you should change your travel plans;-). Customer for 10 years. Zero issues. 100% satisfied.
