Where to Board Your Dog in Boise

I had to board my dog for 10 days over the holidays and boy was I so anxious to do so. Of course as a dog mom, I only want the best for my pup. I spent a lot of time researching boarding kennels in and around Boise. In fact, I booked reservations at two different places before finally settling on one that I thought would be the best fit.

I ended up boarding her at Gem Crest Kennels. Overall, it was a good experience. They were reasonably priced and it appeared that they provided great care. I was able to call in and check on my dog throughout and they always gave me a nice report on how she was doing.

While I would board my dog there again, I am open to other options as well. As mentioned earlier, I want to find the best fit possible! If you are looking to board your dog in the near future, here's a list to get you started on your own research when choosing a place.
