Testimonials
“Maplewood Dog Retreat is a clean, spacious boarding kennel where dogs enjoy a high level of care and attention. Canine guests stay in their own detached house, complete with the comforts of home, and are exercised with their fellow boarders. My dogs have stayed at Maplewood Dog Retreat numerous times and were in good hands with Michele and her family, who take a hands-on approach to ensuring their guests have a positive experience. My dogs also participated in agility training with Michele, and we have all benefited greatly from her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. Overall, I am very pleased with our experience at Maplewood Dog Retreat.”

“Our two dogs had a great stay in February, for the first time. We loved the setup, providing for a calm environment while sleeping/eating and the large play areas for multiple supervised playtimes. A great alternative for those that don’t want their dogs in a cage type of kennel, but also know their dogs appreciate a little bit of quiet private space (in between playtimes). We’ll be back!”

“We have brought our Australian Shepherd to Maplewood Dog Retreat for almost two years now and we love how caring Michele is, she truly treats your dog like one of her own! The grounds and spaces for the dog are well maintained and Maplewood is unique in that each dog gets their own individual little house, which provides a quiet space between play time. With the love, care and attention that Michele provides to our dog, Maplewood is our preferred choice for boarding and we know that our dog is well taken care of while we are away.”

“I have been boarding my dogs at Maplewood Dog Retreat for over 10 years. What attracted me was the unique individual houses for the dogs, where the dogs can relax more compared to the typical kennel runs, and the attention placed to dogs individual needs. The place is very clean, safely fenced, and my dogs have always been well taken care of, even when they needed some special food or medication. ”

“Michele has been nothing but amazing with our 2 guys. We love bringing them to her and they LOVE going. It makes a vacation more enjoyable to know our fur babies are safe and sound. They have their own cottage. We bring them toys and blankets to make it feel like their own little home.”

“Michele is very friendly, accommodating and has always taken fantastic care of our German Shepherd during his many visits. The facilities are very clean and comfortable and there is a lot of room for them to go for walks and play as well. We highly recommend Maplewood Dog Retreat.”

“The best place other then home for your dog!”

“Since December 2014, our pups, Rio and Onyx, have been looked after at Maplewood Dog Retreat. For our dogs it is important that they can share a space and the Maplewood cabanas are perfect for this. They get good exercise and play time. They are always excited upon arrival and greeted with equal enthusiasm by Michele and/or a member of her family. Maplewood is our “go to” when we have to be away. I also really like that Maplewood is a smaller kennel. It was what caught my eye back in 2014 when I contacted Dean to come out and see the place and introduce Rio and Onyx. We were leaving the pups for 3 weeks that trip and I did not want them to be in a large, many dog kennel (especially my anxious princess!)”

“I’ve used the boarding services at Maplewood Dog Retreat for my Aussies on many occasions over the past few years. The facilities and care provided are excellent! I am very confident leaving my pups here!”

“We have been clients of Michele’s Maplewood Dog Retreat since 2013 and can whole heartily recommend it for for looking after your best friend. Be it vacation or business, there are occasions where it is not feasible to take your furry friend with you. We have always found it to be a pleasure dealing with Michele and her kennel. It is such a nice facility and we call it Ruby’s Spa visit anytime we have to leave her. The individual guest homes are topnotch and each unit comes with a fenced and covered patio, radio, elevated bed and the units are climate controlled. The outdoor play areas are outstanding and Michele always ensures that the quests brought together to play are compatible and get along well with each other.”

“We started sending our dogs to Michele over six years ago and have always been impressed with Michele’s property and services. She was the first and only person that we have entrusted to take care of our dogs while we are away. We were very pleased that our girls would be staying in a weatherized shelter rather than crates and that they would have so much space to run around outside. It was discovered during one of their stays that they don’t always get along with other dogs and Michele immediately put the safety of all of the dogs first, and exercised our dogs separately. Michele has gotten to know our girls over the years and has been able to offer us services that support their needs as well as the needs of the other dogs staying at the same time. We are so appreciative and thankful for this which is why we will continue to be loyal clients of Maplewood Dog Retreat and will always recommend Michele to anyone who asks! It is so worth the drive outside of the city to know that our girls will be well taken care of and feel like they’re at home.”
