What they say about the castle...

"Canine Castle has been my kennel of choice since 2001 when I received short notice change of station orders sending my family and I overseas. I was unable to immediately transfer with my dogs due to travel restrictions at our foreign destination. As a result I had to board my three dogs at Canine Castle for almost two months. Ken was most understanding of my situation and boarded our dogs for the entire time while even giving us a break on their usual fee to help us save on the overall cost. Upon completion of my tour and return to the states I was again a repeat customer. Upon approval of my retirement and subsequent transfer to Las Vegas I found myself in a similar long term boarding situation for almost three months. Ken agreed to the boarding and again gave us a break on the fee.I highly recommend their kennels and services to anyone requiring short or long term boarding. You can rest assured that your family members will be in good hands."

"With Steven being in the Navy and gone frequently we were concerned with finding a kennel that would put our worries at ease. Canine Castle has done this. The military rates are reasonable and we know that Cheyenne will be well cared for. She always gets excited when we near the property. It has been her home away from home on many occasions. We highly recommend the capable hands of Canine Castle."

"I support and recommend Canine Castle as a reputable, safe and nurturing enviroment for any dog in need of a home away from home. As a daughter of a veterinarian, I know the difference between good care and excellent care. When you are in need of a caring, temporary home for your loved one, look no further than Canine Castle!"

"Like most pet owners, we feel our dog is wonderfully unique and like no other dog. Lucky King is a very beloved family pet. Ken has provided a healthy and secure enviroment for Lucky a few years now. His professional facilities and personal care allow us freedom and piece of mind when we are apart from our pet. Thank you, Ken."

"We searched and tried many kennels before finding what we consider to be the perfect place for our Lab "Luke". We can enjoy our vacation or concentrate on business while away from home knowing that Luke will be well taken care of."

"Ken's Canine Castle has been the perfect place for our dog Zoe. It is clean, has great runs, and most importantly there is a lot of TLC. Canine Castel is professionally run and maintained. I have worked with animals for over 20 years myself, so when it comes to the care of my own animals I am extremely picky. Ken and his staff have always gone above and beyond my expectations so that I can honestly say Canine Castle is Zoe's second home."
