Kingdale isn't fancy, but there's no other place I'd leave my dog. The staff knows canines and is fanatic about taking good care of them. I had a special needs dog (somewhat aggressive) that had been 86'd from two other boarding kennels, mainly because they staffed their places with amateurs who didn't pay attention to my simple instructions for avoiding her specific problems. Kingdale's experienced staff (there's virtually no turnover) understood immediately and said they'd keep my dog out of trouble by avoiding her triggers for bad behavior and knew canine psychology well enough to keep her out of harm's way. Having peace of mind like this is so important to me when I'm out of town and can trust that my dog is safe and well-cared for. And Kingdale's fees are much lower than their competitors - you get much MORE than you pay for.
