I have researched many different boarding places for my sweet Bella who was a rescue dog. I was hesitant to place her in a pound style care facility because she had already been locked up for several months before we rescued her and had mentally started to show extreme distress due to this. The other boarding places had only concrete for the dogs to mingle and allowed no toys and they were locked up at night in a cage with no staff onsite during sleeping hours. This is not what I wanted for my dog so I looked at Aarf house. Aarf house was different in a huge way. The business is a house with a big backyard of dirt and fake grass and a doggy door leading into the house where they can come and go as they please. They have a doggy swimming pool and a lot of toys for the pups to play with. The staff really seem to love the animals because my dog gets excited when I bring her there and it’s not because of the other dogs which she tolerates but really wants no part of their shenanigans. The staff are caring and watchful and the best part is they are there 24 hours a day. The night shift employee sleeps in a bed and the dogs are even allowed to sleep with them if they choose. They bring out more than enough dog beds though for everyone to have a comfortable bed. Just about everything is fine for the pets to lay on including the leather couches in the living room. The staff are trained in giving medication which my dog needs and they also gave her water separately because my pooch is weird and doesn’t like drinking from the communal water bowls. What really impressed me though was how watchful they are, they brought my dog into the off limits kitchen where they allowed her to have some alone time away from the others so she could nap in peace without the others bothering her. This meant so much to my wife and I that they even noticed she needed that. The report cards they give you for each day your dog is boarded is a nice touch and they are also honest with the report as they mentioned my dog didn’t eat her evening meal which I knew she wouldn’t. I couldn’t be happier with the experience we have had with Aarf house and I’m glad I found them. If you want your dog to feel like they are home then the Aarf house is for you.
We LOVE Aarf! My sweet rescue dog is shy and had not stayed anywhere else since adoption a few years ago. I took her for a few play days before boarding for a weekend. She warmed up to them so quick. It is such a homie and welcoming environment. The staff are amazing. The daily report cards bring such peace of mind. I am so happy to have found such great care for my precious pup!
Aarf is an amazing company with great people. They pick up my dog from my house and take her on hour-long hikes with friends for the price of a day of daycare. I know she’s safe and having a great time, and she’s settled and only needs a relaxing walk when I get home - much more my style after a long day at work! They always send me a brief summary on their outing and pictures which really brighten my day. So thankful I found Aarf and I’d absolutely recommend them.
We have finally found somewhere that we don’t have to feel guilty about leaving our dog when we go out of town! Our dog is like a child to us and we only want the best for him. AARF provides a level of care and communication that I have not experienced in another boarding facility. Rather than mosey around with half hearted supervision only to be put in a kennel later somewhere else, at AARF he went on daily hikes, played ball to his heart’s content, and even got his favorite butt scratches. ❤️ The report cards and pictures we received every day while away made me feel so much better knowing he was safe, happy, and well cared for. Thank you so much to Susie and AARF for that peace of mind.
Suzie is so wonderful and patient hiking with and transporting our three high energy pups! They come back from hiking so happy and tired, and we love the photo updates. It's so nice to know they're out having fun while we are working.
We love Aarf!! We have been doing their group dog hikes for a few months and our Lab boys have the best time. Remi, their usual dog hiker, is an absolute angel and our boys love her. She sends the sweetest updates with lots of photos after each hike. We would recommend Aarf to anyone!
