Forget MY opinion; my 3 dogs adore Pets Are Inn! \r
\r
This place is a like a hostel for animals. Instead of boarding them someplace where they'll be in crates most of the time except for an occasional walk (which you'll probably pay for), Pets Are Inn contracts with pet lovers who take your animals into their home while you away and treat them just like members of the family! \r
\r
We've used them 4 times now and have been lucky enough to get the same family each time (families develop relationships with the animals). The service will pick your animals up for you and drop them off (a great convenience when you're getting ready for a trip). My dogs practically jump out of their skins when the van pulls up because they are so excited to go stay with their ""second family!"" Upon return, we've always received a little note from the host family with an update about how the dogs did, etc. (They always got to sleep in the beds with the folks, etc.). \r
\r
And the best part? The price is comparable to that of a kennel, not crazy expensive as you might expect. We'll never board our dogs again. Thanks, Pets Are Inn!\r
