I had other reservations at a very well known hospital and boarding facility in Littleton. One of my little dogs was just adopted from the Dumb Friends League and we are working on some minor behavior issues. I was told I might need to board somewhere else and Overland accepted us with open arms. I received the recommendation to board my protective pet by our pet trainer. They cater to all types and understand that behaviors will improve but just take time. They provide a secure, clean and playful environment to keep your pet while you are away.
Overland let’s you tour at any time, which is an excellent sign they are comfortable with the care they provide. You can bring any belongs you want in order to make your dog feel more at home, most places do not want to keep track of these things and want you to tour on their suggested time OR to make an appointment to tour. I look at touring a facility to keep your pet the same as touring a pre-school, and it needs to be open to the public BECAUSE you are serving the public. At Overland your pet receives his or her own cubby! Ha!
Their establishment is the cleanest I have ever toured, and I have toured allot. The In and Out kennels are fully covered from the elements and I like that my dogs would not have the option to go out side in the middle of the night as they are both under 20 pounds and with the coyote scare in this area I didn’t feel a night time excursion was necessary. The dogs are on a feeding schedule and routine, which helps them to adjust to the new environment. On my tour I learned they had set up a home for a bird that lived their for an extended amount of time to make him feel comfortable so this is not just a “resort” for a dog, but a wide range of critters too! They take the time to really care.
They women in reception took all the time I needed to answer any of my questions by phone and in person. I toured the “resort” and even met the boarding attendant that would be with my dogs. They have an enormous play yard and for a little extra a day your dog can go out one on one and play with their attendant - It makes you feel so wonderful you can give them that gift while you are away.
I even was able to set up my dogs in their roomy pens before going on my trip. This way I did not have to worry as much about leaving my dog inclined to “bad” behavior, I knew he was safe and ready for the night.
Thanks again Overland, for helping me to find a place I can keep my dogs! Maybe now I will go on another trip!
Pros: A great place to board for special pet needs
Cons: Medication management is a few dollars more then most
