We've been leaving our dachshund Sam at Thousand Hills Pet Resort for years. I can tell you all about the staff and facility, but the best way for you to learn is to simply go check out the facility yourself.

The staff of Thousand Hills Pet Resort are wonderful. You will have a hard time finding people more caring about animals and dedicated to their jobs. My dog loves it here. He is so happy to see the staff when we drop him off. He plays off leash with the other mini dogs all day long (they segregate the dogs by size and also by temperament). Most of the staff recognize my dog by my car, even workers that I would swear I ve never met before. They all greet him with excitement and treat him as if he was their own dog (and I ve observed this same behavior for all the dogs).

The play areas are great. There is an open grassy area that they use for training (you can enroll your dog and they ll do some rudimentary training while he s in daycare or boarding). The fenced in areas where they spend most of their time (both boarding and daycare) are treated to eliminate fleas and ticks. In the three years my dog has been going to Thousand Hills, he has never picked up fleas or a single tick.

The staff are very friendly with the humans, too. I know most of them by name and they know me and my wife on sight. They keep a computer record of all your telephone numbers and any medical history. If your dog requires any medication and is staying overnight, it will be in their computer, on their checklists, and they ll take care of it. If any issues arise, they'll call you. They ll also notify you of any problems (such as your dog being anti-social in some way).

Best of all, there is ALWAYS someone from staff on site. If you get nervous and want someone to check on your dog, all you have to do is call.
