We periodically leave our dog at Hillrose (formerly Atwood's), but usually only for a couple of days at a time. The facility is clean and the staff are competent if inefficient. Our main complaint stems from their tendency to add "extra" charges for almost everything: medicine ($0.50 per tablet per dose), play times (I think it's $4 for a 15-minute play time), and the like. It's confusing and inconvenient, but more than that, it's really expensive, and it's not like their daily rates are cheap -- they're in the neighborhood of $23-26 depending on size. You'd think those rates would include normal levels of TLC for Rover (not his real name). Basically these guys are a fallback for us, and I wouldn't leave our dog there other than in a pinch.
