Testimonials

Just used Part of the Family Kennels from August 15th and just picked up both of our babies this morning! This is only the 3rd time I've ever been away from my fur-babies in 11 years. In the past at other kennels/boarding facilities, our two boys didn't want anything to do with me or my husband after I picked them up. I just thought that maybe they didn't like being away from us. After picking them up today, I guess I was completely wrong. After picking them up, as we were walking out of the office, they actually acted like they wanted back inside LOL. Then after I got them into my vehicle, they both were whining. This has never happened before! Now that we are back home, they are completely worn out and have been sleeping and haven't left my side. I'm just so surprised they aren't mad at me for leaving them! Now after knowing all of this and how they acted, from now on, I will always take them to Part of the Family Kennels! Maybe now my husband and I can actually travel places knowing that our babies will be well taken care of! I was so afraid of leaving my babies because my oldest is an 11 year old Yorkie and is on a lot of medicine and is in congestive heart failure and my other is a 9 year old chihuahua mix was adopted when he was 3 and he doesn't really like many people. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur-babies and for dealing with me when I kept calling to check on them. Y'all did such an amazing job and I'll definitely be recommending y'all to family and friends and will definitely be using y'all from now on!!!

I was really worried when we needed a place to keep our dog overnight, we didn't want to leave him just anywhere. I am super thrilled that we found Part of the Family Kennels. I couldn't be happier with the people and the service. I'm just beyond thrilled with them and would highly recommend them to friends and family.

Everyone who knows me, know how important our dogs are to us. Throughout February, my kids have graciously balanced their busy work & school lives while taking care of my dogs while I was away taking care of my mom. With my mom passing so quickly once she was put in hospice, we were torn between trying to figure out how to get all the kids here and take care of our dogs. That's when we found Part Of The Family Kennels who gladly took the time to find out our particular dog needs and assured us our dogs would be just fine there with them. We picked the girls up after a couple very trying days, 1500 miles from home and the girls had been bathed, were happy and playful and ready to head home!! Thank you for taking that burden off our plate. Next time we need to board, you'll be our first call!!

I have been coming to this kennel for 27 years and would not go anywhere else. My chihuahua loves Terry and doesn't mind staying. I never worry because they are very caring and knowledgeable and I know he gets good care because he likes to go there. He thinks he is part of their family!!!

Because of the special attention my dog receives. The lengths y'all go to make my dog happy and healthy. Y'all strive for excellence and it shows. I recommend y'all to everyone. I just had a litter of St. Bernard puppies. When I sold them I put one of your business cards in each puppy registration folder. I can't think of any better kennel for my pet. Thank you for always being there for us and other people to have reassurance of our pets well being while we are away. Y'all truly are a "Part of Our Family.

Originally-because you are close to home. Secondly-clean facility, staff very friendly, accommodating, great service. Boarding-great! Nice clean fluffy, good smelling-friendly, bathed dog. We really appreciate that. We do feel that you treat our dog like a part of your family. Perfectly named facility.

While we’ve never boarded a dog, we have confidentially left our exotic bird in the care of Part of the Family. ‘Downy’ never has an unkind word to say about her stay and we know she is nicely being taken care of. Thank you!

Just wanted to let you know how blessed we have been to have you guys care for Brenna & Reese over the past few years. It saddens us to move out of the area and we will certainly miss you all. We appreciate your advice over the years and your patience with our “girls”. Please express our gratitude to your staff as well. Praying blessings over your family & your business.

Was recommended to you by vet. The animals are well taken care of. Property is secure (which is an issue to me), clean. My dogs don’t have a problem going there at all. Just keep doing what you are doing. I’m very happy!

Part of the Family boarding has a friendly, homey atmosphere where I know my dog will be well cared for while she is here. The staff is aware of each pets personal needs. You can feel confident about your pets care and not have to worry while on vacation.

Recommended by vet originally, continuing to bring Chad because he enjoys coming for boarding and grooming. We are satisfied and so are all our pets, Chad and cats. We like your location and long, safe driveway. Also like having items we can purchase, appropriate comments about dogs health.

The facility is always very, very clean. Most important, my dog likes it there. I am very happy that we found you guys. Thank you for taking care of our Sanka when we are away.

I travel over 50 miles one-way to take Gizmo for her grooming needs. Obviously, I am pleased with the grooming service. Just stay as caring as you are and you’ll have my business.

My vet recommended your kennel as the best in the area. Most definitely a well organized and staffed kennel. I highly recommend using Part of the Family Kennels.

Not to worry, your pets are in good hands. Even when your pets are frightened, they have a way of calming them down. Knowing our pet is in your care it brings much comfort to our family.

Have been using your grooming, boarding services since 1988 and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else. You are the friendliest and most professional – very accommodating.

Every time I go in I’m always greeted with smiles and hellos (also for Mollie and Buster).

I feel very comfortable and worry free when leaving Belle in your care. She always comes home happy and well taken care of. I would and already have tell others about the good care that is given to your pet when staying at ‘Part of the Family’.

It is the best place to take pets! We feel like its Bella’s “home away from home”. We recommend you every chance we get. We tell them about the special attention Bella gets each day. We also get compliments on Bella’s grooming, and we tell people where we have it done. We are so grateful to have Part of the Family for our Bella.

We received good reports from people in our park and decided to board our dog Ralph there. We recommend the kennel and services highly.

I have been using your grooming and boarding services for 20 years and I am completely satisfied with the care given to my pets. You have lived up to your name “Part of the Family”. You treat my pets as your pets.

Friendly, knowledgeable, reasonable. What more could I want?

Very Friendly atmosphere and loving facility. I think y’all are doing an awesome job and always help out with any questions I have and also help me with the situation.

Highly recommend. We’ve been taking our dogs to Part of the Family for years. We’ve always been pleased with the care and attention given to our pets.

I have always been very pleased with your services. Lexie does not mind for me to take her to your kennel for grooming or boarding.

They care about the animals they keep. My dog and cat are very comfortable going there. Staff very friendly and helpful.

You take good care of our dog and we would highly recommend you.

Sammy is always very happy and clean when I pick him up which is very important to me. Thanks.

Have been coming there since 1979. Often recommend you – always say you’re well worth the peace of mind!

We have taken our dog Krystal there several times and loved how the staff interacted with the animals and pay special attention to any need that the animal may have. We have only used your boarding services but I would tell others that the care and cleanliness is awesome!

I feel very comfortable and worry free when leaving Belle in your care. She always comes home happy and well taken care of. I have told others about the good care that is given to your pet when staying at Part of the Family.

I was recommended to you by vet. I’ve always been pleased with services. Staff is courteous and their love for animals shows.

Have been coming here for years, boarding services are top notch.

When I interviewed the owners of Part of the Family kennels I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and courtesy. Our dog Bingo enjoys her stay and we call your kennel her vacation spot. She gets great care and we can see that she responds well to its employees. When we leave Bingo at Part of the Family I am confident that she will get excellent care. She is truly part of my family too!

My mother-n-law had good comments about the boarding of her dog (about 5 years ago). Plus I have used Part of the Family in the past for my Jack Russel and was very happy (about 3 years ago). Now I have a cocker spaniel and he loves going to visit. How nice and inviting the place and the people are. I have recommended someone from work to take her dog there, she was very pleased. Keep up the good work and all the great personnel because everyone makes you feel comfortable leaving a family member there. I know I do. The prices are reasonable and comparable to others in the area, but I really like the looks of the business, its very inviting.

First experience was very positive. We appreciate your grooming efforts on Odins behalf. He looks great. I thought as the first time boarding and he hated crates that it was positive that when someone went back through the door toward the office and kennels-he followed!

My final decision (whether to use you) was based on how Allie responds to the staff. She is treated well during her time with you. I like that you care-you live onsite-that the dogs and other guests are your priority. The dogs are safe with you.

Quality of service, friendliness, indoor/outdoor runs. We drive a long way to bring our dog here. It’s because we like it.

Personal care of the pets – not a pet ‘mill’. Local, family, owned, fair rates, friendly services.

Part of the Family has an experienced, caring and loving staff that has met my every need. Although there are several grooming services in my area, and roundtrip from Sun City Center is over 50 miles, I prefer Part of the Family where my expectations of service are met. Overall, Part of the Family meets my expectations for quality grooming and caring boarding services. The staff is professional, dedicated, and personable. I recommend your facility all the time and will continue to do so.

We want to say thanks for taking care of “Obie-Wan” while we are out of town. It means a lot to us that you love him and are so kind to him. It’s obvious he loves being there.
