We have both boarded and done daycare. The owners and staff just wonderful, caring and kind. This is a beautiful facility.  We also had our nails done there and they did a fantastic job. As a bonus you can buy the most beautiful and delicious farm-fresh eggs there too!

She has a special diet but they handled it great! She never got sick, they sent pictures and took care of her just like she was their own!! They gave her specific treats that we provided, which was perfect because of her special diet. A HUGE thank you to Little Lake for taking care of our sweet Shepard!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I have boarded with Little Lake several times, and we have always had very positive experiences. Our last visit surpassed them all! Chrissy or Christy (I’m not sure her name, but she has dark hair and works up front) is truly a saint. We had a sweet, stray dog show up at our house 1-2 weeks prior to leaving for a trip out of state. We could find nowhere local (we have recently moved) who would board our fur baby, given she was so new to us, and we had little information on her history (we did make a vet trip to be sure she had all necessary vaccines before boarding). Chrissy/ Christy met my phone call with such kindness and compassion, she left me in tears! She assured me we could board our new pup, and she would be well cared for. I had no doubts, and the 2 hr one way trip to board with Little Lake was worth every penny and second. They somehow got her to eat (she has extreme anxiety), and they even got her to take her medicine before we came to pick her up. They assured me she did well, and they were all sharing in the joy with us in the lobby when we reunited with our dogs! Our older dog, who has previously boarded here, acted as though we were taking him to Disneyland when we pulled up 😂 That speaks volumes! I hope this employee is recognized for her excellent customer service interactions and just how confident she made me feel before having to leave my new baby so soon. We are so grateful for Little Lake and all its staff and how they have served our family so well. God bless you all!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our shelter rescue had to board for 2 weeks. I was worried about him but he was  obviously well cared for while we were gone. We will not hesitate to board him there again. Everyone was so friendly and the place is very inviting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We boarded our two dogs with Little Lake Pet Lodge from March 17th - 20th. Our pups haven't been boarded before, so we were thrilled when we learned they could be boarded together, and for a discount at that! The kennels were clean, the outdoor runs were spacious and allowed for plenty of sightseeing for the pups, and the staff was friendly and professional. While it was hard to walk away from our boys, we knew they were in good hands. They even had a text line we could reach out to for updates on how they did which allowed a lot of peace of mind. Plus, the owners live on-site, so we knew if something crazy happened there would always be someone available! We will absolutely be using their services again in the future, and will be recommending to all of our friends that need boarding services!
