Why HartFelt Boarding Kennels Stands Out

A Place Where Love Fills the Gap

January 17, 2025

HartFelt Boarding Kennels isn’t just another kennel-it’s a home filled with love and care, where dogs are treated like family.

John and Mary’s Commitment to Care

Founders John and Mary share a passion for giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. Their journey began with a desire to help dogs in need, especially those arriving in poor conditions. They dreamed of a place where dogs would feel clean, cherished, and cared for—a true home-away-from-home for pets.

A Partnership Built on Love and Care

John and Mary work as a team, each bringing unique expertise to HartFelt Kennels. Mary focuses on grooming, helping dogs feel and look their best. John manages boarding, ensuring every furry guest receives personalized care in a safe, comfortable environment.

This partnership allows HartFelt Kennels to offer a complete experience for dogs and their owners. Whether your pup needs a bath and trim or a place to stay while you’re away, John and Mary ensure they receive the highest level of care.

Boarding at HartFelt: A Different Experience

At HartFelt Kennels, boarding goes beyond basic care. John’s hands-on approach creates a home-like experience:

  • Personalized Attention: Every dog’s care plan is tailored to their needs, from medication to extra cuddles.
  • Socialization and Enrichment: Dogs spend time in the lobby with John, enjoying interaction and affection.
  • Daily Walks and Playtime: Plenty of space for exercise ensures dogs stay happy and healthy.
  • Cozy Rest Areas: Comfortable, clean spaces help dogs relax and recharge.

Going Above and Beyond

What truly sets HartFelt Kennels apart is the extra mile John and Mary are willing to go for their furry guests. For John, boarding isn’t just about meeting basic needs—it’s about providing emotional support and making every dog feel safe.

For example, John once stayed overnight on a cot in the kennel with a dog who suffered from seizures. The dog needed monitoring, and John’s presence provided both safety and comfort. This kind of dedication is rare in the boarding world but is second nature at HartFelt Kennels.

Meanwhile, Mary ensures that every dog leaves the kennel looking and feeling their best. Her grooming expertise helps dogs not only shine on the outside but also feel more comfortable and confident.
