Sophie’s Bed And Breakfast

«This place is better than butt-​sniffing an elephant.» –My dog
I picked up a business card for this place from my veterinarian’s office.
It said they specialize in medium and large breed dogs.
I have a black lab mix, so he’s pretty big. About 60 pounds.
I called and talked to the owner, Carla. Very nice lady. I made an appointment to have my dog boarded here while I took a trip out of town for a weekend.
This place is outside the city… kind of in the middle of nowhere. That might be the only bad thing about it.
When I showed up to drop my dog off, Carla gave me a tour of the facilities and showed me where my dog would be staying. It was all very clean and tidy… the place didn’t even stink. The kennels open to a large fenced-​in yard where the dogs can run and play together. Ooooh boy. My dog is going to love this place.
Carla seems like a true animal lover, who treats your dog like her own. She’s very knowledgeable about their needs. If I had my way, this is the ONLY place I would leave my dog.
Unfortunately, they close every so often for a vacation. I wanted to use them in February 2009, only to find out they were closed the entire month.
It’s $ 15 a night. I have no worries leaving my dog here.
I’d love to see them actually get a website, with a webcam so you can watch your dog run in the yard while you’re away. Other than that, no complaints. I wish Carla would board me, too. You can’t go wrong with Sophie’s.
