Alliance Kennels

I don’t write Unilocal reviews very often, but this place is notable because it seems like the only place around who would care for a 14 yr. old senior dog with problems, which seems terrible because sometimes, the seniors need even more help that most places just aren’t prepared to deal with. Fair enough!
On the other hand, I’ve been taking Scout to Alliance for about 4 years and Robert and Janet were both very kind to Scout (clearly he adored Robert). And this year, Chris. Scout loved the place even though this past year has been difficult for him, with increasing mobility problems and Chris took the time to deal with the many issues.
Regarding the comment regarding an owie that the poor pup got, I think that could have happened in most of the places that I’ve seen that have dogs in common play areas. Certainly Scout, old and vulnerable as he was, didn’t have problems in the 4 years that he was at Alliance and I think that was because they kept an eye on him.
Pet sitting is a route that most of us get into only when necessary, and for me, Alliance has been there when I needed them.

We have been using alliance kennels for over a year.
We have a fox terrier, and she does great here.
There is tons of space for the dogs to run around. Mine always comes home happy.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Why take your dog to be boarded in a small enclosed space, when they can roam the yard with a loving host.

My dog went for an induction session. On his return, he had nasty scratch under his eye. No idea what happened, but personally I would not leave my beloved pet here again.
Such a sad experience for us. I would think twice before booking this establishment.

This is a long overdue review on Alliance Kennels, a place our pup views as a second home. We’ve been taking our little havanese female, Sophie, to Alliance for almost a year now. It’s been a blessing finding a safe, reliable place to board her when we are out of town. We’ve boarded her about once a month or once every other month since last summer.
In particular, Robert and Jeanette were extremely flexible and kind while I was out of the country and my husband had to travel for work last month. We had to board her for two extended (and last minute) stays during that time and they were amazingly helpful during a hectic and stressful time. They are very responsive by phone and email as well.
And more than anything what I love about Alliance Kennels is the personal attention your dog gets. Our little dog doesn’t always like playing with other dogs and can get anxious. Jeanette found a brilliant solution of letting her hang out on the deck in her own little bed so she can watch the other dogs play below and join in when she wants. Then when she has had enough she goes back to her bed on the deck and watches everyone. Jeanette was even kind enough to even email us pictures during that particular weekend when she discovered our pup was happier with this set-​up!
Peace of mind when you’re out of town and a happy, tired pup when you get home is pretty much as good as it gets. High recommend Alliance Kennels!

Alliance Kennels is FANTASTIC. This is a place that I would highly recommend if you need to board your dog. Robert does an outstanding job taking care of our Jackson. We have left him there several times while on vacation and each time he comes home happy, healthy and in great condition — Thank You Alliance Kennels!

Steven was great with my shy & nervous dog, she trusted him right away and didn’t seem stressed at all when I picked her up after a week at this kennel. Great price too!

My jack russell/​beagle Peanut loves this place! I’ve taken her here a couple times when I went on vacation and she’s always happy and tired (from all the playing) when I get back. Both Robert and Stephen are kind, flexible and great with dogs. Peanut is a runner/​bolter but they have a great system for putting the dogs in when there’s pick ups. She’s never gotten out.
The best thing is that they’re reasonably priced. Other places in the area cost almost double what they charge.

Both Robert (owner) and Stephen are nice and professional. Earlier this year, I had a family emergency that I had to drop my dog at the last minute. I called Robert when I was on my way to the kennel. I didn’t even know how many days I need to leave my dog there. Robert took my dog in and took good care of her.
Stephen is also great treating my dog. I am very thankful to their help.

Alliance is fantastic. Gustav, our young labrador mix, spent almost 2 weeks there while we were out of the country, and he came back happy, healthy and tired. They’re also very reasonably priced, which can’t be said for other kennels in the area.

Steve does a great job with our dogs. They are quite happy when we arrive there and are in fine shape when we get back to pick them up. Raleigh was quite tired, so I’d guess he’d done some running around. He had no issue with Raleigh being on a raw diet and ‘fridged the food for him.

These people discriminate against pit bulls or anything that resembles. Obviuosly not true dog people!!!

My doggie loves «Doggie Camp»! I have been taking my dog Snoopy here for the past four years. He is always happy to go and sad to leave. Robert and Steve (depending on the time of year) take great care of my dog whenever he comes to stay. I like that the dogs get to roam around and aren’t caged.

Molly, our four year old terrier mix, was well cared for by Robert. She stayed there for two weeks, and went in with a cone on, a few pills to finish, and a case of special food. Robert took great care of her, followed all instructions we left, and even fed her by hand when she had her cone on. He is very caring, and will separate dogs that do not socialize well together. He also kept an eye on her digestive issues. Our friends recommended Alliance Kennels. They travel often and board their husky here regularly. As new dog owners, we are pleased to have found a place where we can leave our pet, knowing she is in capable and caring hands. Robert is organized, on top of things, and runs the kennel well. Take a look at his website. We will be back!

I almost think my dog (Honey) likes staying here more than at home. I let her out of the car and she runs to the gate and waits to be let in! Steve always takes great care of her, and she always comes back happy.

We love this place! Our doggie Star has been spent time at Alliance and always comes home super happy!

We boarded our 20 pound terrier Sam here for the first time this week. He came back very happy and healthy! I was nervous about boarding him because even though he’s very friendly with people and dogs, he’s a known (and crafty) escape artist! He can jump five foot fences and will door dart at any opportunity. Well he didn’t get out at Alliance, and it seems he had a good time while he was there. We’ll definitely be using this kennel again in the future. Thanks very much to the owners and staff for taking good care of our pup.

Robert and Vicky have gone back to Czech, but the place is still run the same and my boy is still going.

Seriously, Steve takes the best care of the dogs here. We’ve boarded our dog here several times while we’ve been on vacation. Steve truly cares about the safety and well being of the pooches and that is worth it’s weight in gold.

As an update, once we picked our dog up from Alliance, we realized how much he had deteriorated over the last few weeks and he only was with us a few more days. Steve helped so much with our dog when he was very very sick. We were so lucky to find him.

Our greyhound is a little twitchy about being boarded when we’re out of town, but is relaxed and happy at this kennel! Robert (the owner) takes great care of her, and it’s obvious he knows the other dogs that are staying at the kennel, too. It’s great that the owners live on-​site, I completely trust them to give our dog a lot of attention while she’s there, and take care of everything that might come up. Highly recommend!
