Noah's Ark Kennel & Cattery
4.8(84)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices
Noah's Ark has earned strong trust from most owners over 27 years, with staff who know individual pets well and handle birds, rabbits, and exotics that few local facilities accept. Staff members like Christina and Lynn are named repeatedly for genuine care. A handful of owners report communication gaps (missed photo updates, unanswered phone calls) and one serious issue: a dog picked up with an unreported facial cut after five days, plus unpaid nail clipping and no follow-up on a blanket left for cleaning.

All four reviews are five-star, with owners praising Brian's care and the open play setup. A recent puppy owner highlights daily photo updates, escape-artist accommodations, and a spacious indoor-outdoor layout that kept their mini schnauzer engaged enough to sleep the drive home.
