I have had my dog here and he absolutely LOVES it! Once we get on the road to get to the kennel, my dog is so eager to get there. He knows he’s gonna have a good day! He always comes back tired! Crystal is very friendly and tries to accommodate me and my schedule. I am very happy with the care of my dog gets there. I highly recommend them!

Crystal and everyone at Mukota is awesome and so kind! We boarded our dog with them for 21 days and they took such wonderful care of her. I see a review someone just posted about Kennel size and like you said in the review you didn't board your dog there so honestly I see this review as unfair. I am here to tell you that this is a wonderful caring facility that loves dogs and you will have a very pampered pup! We were 8000 miles away in the Philippines on vacation yet almost everyday Crystal stayed in contact with us and shared pictures of our dog.

I haven't boarded my dog here, so I'm giving a 2 star instead of a 1 star. I want potential customers to know my experience with lack of transparency when I spoke with Mukota about boarding my dog. I sent an email with three simple, standard questions that could be answered in an email, including the dimensions of the indoor run my dog would be in and whether they could send me photos of it. Instead of just answering the simple questions in an email, they requested a phone call. I knew this was a bad sign but said okay. During the call, I was told they don't know the dimensions. Really? You can't grab a tape measure and find out? And you can't tell me a client hasn't asked such a standard question before. As for photos, I was told they can't take any because it's a long building. I told them I don't need a photo of the building - can they just take a couple of the indoor run my dog would stay in? Again, the answer was no because it's a long building. I still have not solved that head scratcher and have no idea what the building dimension has to do with it. I was offered a tour but explained it's not worth the time spent unless I see a photo first. I ended up looking at Yelp reviews - someone managed just fine to put indoor photos there. I wasn't impressed with what I saw. Mukota needs to understand that any reputable kennel can readily share room dimensions and photos and many will even post photos and video tours online. I know you show many photos of the exterior online, but you need to include all areas the dog would stay in.

Boarded my 2 year old puppy for two nights, and this was her first ever experience being boarded. She appeared to survive it. Upon arriving, Crystal had already reviewed my feeding instructions. When I went to pick her up she ran to Crystal, the attendant, and not to me! Good sign. She was very calm upon picking her up and did not appear to be fazed. My puppy will be back.

I absolutely love this kennel and the care my dogs receive. Jess has changed my life. Her kennel was recommended by my daughter in law. For years, I never could take a trip with my husband because, I felt, my dogs weren’t boardable as they are dog aggressive. Jess has a great system where your dogs do not go near any other dogs if requested. They have a private outdoor kennel to enjoy when they are there. They have stayed multiple times and come home calmer than before. I now can book trips and not worry one bit once I leave them there. Jess did not have accommodations once and I asked if she could but is on a cancel list because we needed to attend a funeral. I had sent an email late at night and she responded within minutes telling me she was sorry for my loss and she would squeeze them in. She is that amazing and caring!!!!

We went on vacation and our puppy stayed with Mukota Kennels for 5 nights and he was perfectly happy, healthy, and a little sad to leave his friends when we picked him up! He was able to go for walks and have scheduled play time with other dogs. They were very kind and they even washed and dried his toys for us before we picked him up! Great pricing and they truly care about your pup! We will definitely be back!

We love Mukota Kennels! We have gone there for training and boarding with our dog, and prior to adopting our pup I visited Mukota many times with foster dogs and to walk dogs waiting for adoption. I have dropped by unannounced to get my dog used to all of the sights and sounds of other dogs (and so he doesn't associate the kennel with just boarding or just training) and have never witnessed anything but safe conditions and excellent care of the animals by the staff. The owners and caregivers are always friendly and take great care of the animals, and the prices are very reasonable. I recommend Mukota to all of our doggy friends and many of them use Mukota for training and boarding now. All are happy customers!

I love Mukota Kennel. The staff and owners are amazing! They love each and every dog, cat, or pig that comes through their doors.My dogs have attended doggy daycare and have been boarded there numerous times... for, I think, 5 years or more now.They also offer dog training, which my dog aggressive dog, Lola attends. Together we have worked with Lola to the point she is now dog reactive. I didn't know what to do with her when I first realized she was dog aggressive. Jess, Deb, and Michelle assured me they could help us and they were right. She now tolerates others and is a very smart, well behaved dog.I certainly couldn't have done it without them. I am grateful for their help, their love for my dogs, and their friendship every day! I highly recommend them.

Such a great place to take dogs for boarding and daycare! Owners and employees are amazing and caring for all the dogs, extremely observant and knowledgeable about placing new dogs in groups for daycare, I have had nothing but an amazing experience here! Pricing is extremely fair for the service provided! I'd recommend Mukota to anyone with pups!!

My husband and I have been taking our dogs (young and old) to Mukota for over 15 years and would not go anywhere else. Every dog gets its own indoor/outdoor area, and when we've had two dogs, we loved that they could be together in a larger pen. The dogs get daily play in a safe outdoor area with favorite toys, and they are kept safely apart from other dogs. The owners and other caregivers are responsive and knowledgeable, and they always return calls. Finally, the price is reasonable. We inquired about kennels in a 30-mile radius, and none compared. Note: Reserve your space way ahead, because they are popular and fill up.

My 8 year old Louie has gone there his whole life for vacations we take. I rest easy knowing he is safe and cared for. He is excited to arrive and see his friends. They ask questions if your dog free feeds or specific times, any medications, etc. Facility is clean and maintained. Dogs get time to run together and can exit their kennel for outdoor time. Staff care about your pet as much as you. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have been using Mukota Kennel as a doggie day care and also as a home away from home when we travel for the past 6 years. I have to say, hands down they are the best dog center I have ever used. Just the kindness and the love that they show the animals is second to none. The knowledge of the staff and how they know each individual dog and their personalities amazes me. they really cater to the dog and the dog owner and offer that personal touch. The fact that they are so accommodating to our sometimes pain in the rear needs is something you won't be able to experience at other doggie day cares or boarding facilities. They understand that life has bumps in the road and they try and do everything possible to accommodate with our animals to help make things easier for us.My reason for reviewing today is that I have two American Bulldogs. They, like most brothers and sisters can knock heads sometimes and get a little over stimulated at times which will result in them having a spat. I had boarded my boy for the weekend with them and our female had stayed at my mothers house, I knew that when I was going to load up my male in our truck he and the female would have a lot of energy which could result in a spat. To avoid an issue I spoke with the owner of the kennel and she worked with me and the dogs on avoiding a spat. We brought my female into the large play area and then brought the male in where they were able to work off some of their energy before I loaded them both up into my car. That is what sets this facility apart from all of the others. That personal and accommodating touch is what means the world to us.I hope that people will find this review helpful. Mukota has been such a blessing to our family and I couldn't imagine our pets being anywhere else and nor would I want too.Thank you Mukoto Kennel, for doing everything you do. It is beyond appreciated and we are eternally grateful.

The staff here is awesome! Clean and responsive kennel. My Crom has some separation anxiety and I was worried at first leaving him, but this kennel really helped ease my worry and his! He seems to really enjoy it.

I'm super pleased with this place! Left my pets for lots of days during the holidays and they were health and happy when I went to pick them up. Staff very friendly and attentive. They even got a bigger crate to accomodate my cat. So nice!

We dropped our hound dog off for a few days while we went out of state. We picked him up and got him home and he had been bathed, which we didn't ask for so we thought wow, these are nice people. WRONG. Our dog had been bitten by another dog in their care. Deep bites. My guess is theyour bathed him to get the blood off so we wouldn't notice. I emailed them promptly and was told nothing happened to my dog in their care and he had not been bathed. So that's why he has deep bite wounds and smells like dog shampoo? DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE!!!!!!
