We are a full-service boarding and doggy daycare facility.

What people are saying.

“Bonnie, our 1 year old German Shorthaired Pointer gets so excited when we bring her to Golden Acre Kennels. We love the extra space for Bonnie to play with other dogs — the kennels also give her plenty of room to move around.”

— Matt Stewart, customer since 2012

“Lisa, Sam and staff are absolutely amazing. My boy is a COVID pup so was never really properly socialized. They showed a great deal of love, compassion and patience and Sage quickly went from being a scared dog to super excited to spend time at Golden Acres. Doggie Daycare days are his favorite days of the week! I also love seeing all of the extras you all have been doing, especially around the holidays! So sweet for the pups.”

-Jennie Knapp, January 2022

“I would recommend them to anyone…and I do constantly. I have always felt completely comfortable leaving Pyra there for daycare and boarding. Sam loves her just like we do…and the videos I get of her all the time, they are adorable!”

-Kasja Nelson, February 2022

“Very nice people, they took good care of my 3 little dogs, all less than 8lbs. (I have never boarded dogs before and was worried because they are so little) I’d trust them again in a heartbeat. Thanks for caring for my babies.”

-Tina Marie, May 2022

“We were hesitant to board our dog since he is a senior pup with separation anxiety. Golden Acres does photo updates daily and we feel so at ease knowing he is well cared for and having a blast with new friends. Thank you so much Golden Acres!!!”

-Anna Garcia, July 2022

“Job interview. I can tell you they are animal lovers and that what I like to see. I am a dog mom. They have a nice set up and the dogs are in good hands.”

“Great place the staff is amazing thank you. Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Value.”

-Joe and Laurie Tisler, 7 months ago

“First time boarding our 3 huskies in the area and it went great. Facility was clean and comfortable. They had a kennel large enough for our 3 girls to stay together. The outdoor area was big and secure so dogs were safe and no possibility of running away. Staff was so friendly, loving, and can tell they really care about the dogs. Facebook pictures and talking with staff helped ease our nerves for the first time boarding at a new kennel.
Thank you so much for taking care of our girls. Our girls will definitely be visiting again!”

“We wouldn't take our dog to a different place!! He's always so excited to get to Golden Acres!
They give the best care and attention to the 4-legged clients!”

-Carol Brown, 5 months ago

“My dog Mandy actually WANTS to come here! She jumps with excitement as soon as we turn down the dirt road. It is so wonderful to know she's getting the loving care and attention I would be giving her.”

-Olga Herman, a year ago

“My dog loves coming here, and doesn't look back when I bring him inside. He gets to play all day with other dogs and comes home tired and happy when vacation is over. I use this kennel a few times a year from 3-4 days to up to two weeks at a time.”

-M.S., 5 years ago

“For overnights or day care, I couldn't recommend a better place. Great staff and clean facilities! And they post pictures on Facebook so you can see what a great time your dog had.”

-Susan Bucheger, 2 years ago

“Lisa and her crew will take loving care of you pooch while on your travels.”

-Karl Linderoth, 2 years ago

“Very pleasant employees.”

-My little family fun, 3 years ago

“My dog does not usually bark, but as soon as I pull on to the road for the kennel, he just starts dancing and yapping in the back seat. He absolutely can not wait to get out of the car to come inside. He loves Lisa and her staff and they treat him like their own.”

-Cheryl Vader, 2021

“There is no better place to leave your fur baby than here. The staff are phenomenal, they love our fur kids just as much as we do. I have never had one worry about the care or love Archie receives when he stays. He is so excited to see his Sam and all of his friends!!! I’m so blessed to have found a place that loves my doodle as much as I love him!!!

-Gina Bozzo, 2022

Can not say enough good things about this kennel! Seriously, it’s the best. Our dog loves it! Recommend this kennel to all my friends.

-Lynn Paquin, June 2023

Amazing all around. My dog loves it here and I feel comfortable leaving him. The staff were warm and welcoming and even gave me a tour of the super clean facility. Should I mention it’s affordable as well?! LOVE!!

-Courtney M., 2018

Fantastic operation-with a great team! Took care of my chocolate lab Penny who didn’t want to come home after all the great care! My go to kennel when I visit the UP.

-J.D., 2021

I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and friendly service. My dog is not the easiest to care for.

-Debra Dubovsky, 2023

Very clean, friendly, and professional.

-Michelle Turner, 2023

Caring dog people, never worry about leaving my dogs here!

-Laura Strom, 2023

I’m an hour away and in a different time zone, but this place is so worth it. This is the first time I went on vacation and felt I could enjoy it more without worrying about how my dogs are doing. Both my large dogs had a very spacious room together, and between the employees calling me to let me know how they were doing, and the pictures they post of them playing made me feel at ease. Pretty sure they even washed the dogs up a little before I picked them up!
