We were having some work done on our home and needed a safe, fun place for our dogs to go during the day and Wil-A-Lo was that place! Aaron, was lovely and our little Chi mix and him are now buddies. Our dog is very particular little guy and seeing their friendship really set me at ease because dogs are excellent judges of character. :) What a neighborhood gem! Beano and Gizmo will definitely be back!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Wil-a-Lo Kennel. During one of the most critical and emotional times after my dog Rocky was diagnosed with IVDD, they stepped in without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. The owner and his wife (who is a vet) are absolutely amazing. Their knowledge, compassion, and genuine care made all the difference when I was feeling overwhelmed and scared navigating Rocky’s diagnosis. You can tell they treat every dog like their own. I also want to give a special thank you to the sweet woman who sent me daily photos of Rocky. Those updates meant more than I can even put into word! They brought me comfort and peace of mind every single day knowing he was safe, loved, and being so well cared for. The environment itself is so special! It has such a homey, comforting feel with roosters, chickens, and other animals around. It didn’t feel like a typical kennel at all, but more like a place where animals are truly loved and at home. This isn’t just a kennel, it’s a place filled with people who truly care. I will forever be grateful for how they cared for Rocky during such a scary time. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much!

This place is owned by our veterinarian. That's how we found out about it. They are all absolutely wonderful people. My dogs seemed to genuinely enjoy it there. We will absolutely use them again when we need to leave town.

I’ve boarded both of my dogs as well as one of my cats at Wil-a-lo several times, and have always been absolutely satisfied with their customer service. My dogs enjoy their stay, so much so that the older one doesn’t want to leave with me when I pick her up. But most important is their attention to detail- my cat will ingest bedding, blankets, potty pads, toys, etc. when left to his own devices. So it is absolutely imperative that the boarding facility understands this caveat, and I’m so happy that Wil-a-lo does. Peace of mind while vacationing = worth every penny.

TLDR: Amazing service and prices. You’ll get more out of the experience and so will your pet if you request the play sessions and outdoor nature walks.
