It's hard to know where to begin when relating all the good things about Aunt Darlene's. After an initial "get acquainted" visit and a practice overnight stay, we had no qualms about leaving our dog here for an extended time. Darlene and husband Tom are obviously committed to operating a top-notch dog care business, and they exhibit a great deal of knowledge about dog behavior and interaction. Boarding a beloved pet for several days can be worrisome, but at Aunt Darlene's one feels as if the pet has been entrusted to long-time friends. The cage-free facilities are very clean with no doggy odor, and the dog comes home smelling clean. Among the available amenities, we especially appreciated the large screened-in porch, the fenced-in yard, and the self-service toy basket. Both Darlene and Tom know how to be pack leaders so that order is maintained among their charges at all times. Darlene and Tom obviously love their work and do everything possible to make their guests comfortable. Traveling for us will now be more care-free knowing our dog is in such good hands.
