I had a 10 day vacation planned and my original boarding facility didn’t end up working out about 5 days before I was supposed to leave. I reached out to this facility and they were so accommodating to my situation. Gabe took the time to get to know my dog and make him comfortable before his stay. I received…

Our pit puppy Wally goes here once a week for a full day, and we are incredibly happy with the staff and environment. Plus Wally LOVES it. We had a family emergency recently and they were kind enough to work with us on some last minute back and forth arrangements for boarding. So far they are above and beyond any expectations.

We've been bringing our dog Odin here for a few years now and he is always excited to go and worn out by the time we pick him up from all the play. Great people that give your dog the love you hope for while you're away.

Mitten Dog Co is fantastic! The facility is spacious and extremely well organized and maintained. Very clean environment! We boarded our 2 Scottie dogs for 4 days, and requested that they have their outdoor time together but separate from other pups, because they are not used to being around other dogs. This request…

Amazing place! Our 5 year old German Shepherd and 8 month old Bernese stayed the weekend here and they both loved it. We have had poor experiences with boarding them in the past elsewhere, because our Shepherd can require a lot of attention. Mitten Dog Company knocked it out of the park, and were so…
