Default Dog Kennel recommendations

Last summer when we visited TV, we heard about a man who lives in the Village of Lynnhaven who operates a own dog kennel. We are trying to find his name/number. He lives in Collington Villas on Craven Way.

Otherwise can you please share any other recommended dog kennels in or around The Villages? We need to board our jack russell for a few days the end of March.

Any and all help very much appreciated. Thanks.

I have info on a woman who will come and live in your home while you're gone. She is Insured and Bonded. If you are interested in that type of arrangement, please PM me.

Also Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital Vet Center has a limited number of kennels. Bad reviews on the Kennel in Ocala.

A better option for your "spoiled" baby would be to use AWAY FROM HOME PET SERVICES. Call Joan Cain 352-391-2323. Her sitters can offer to care for your baby in their home or CYV, or in your home - whatever works best for your dog's schedule....And they LOVE doggies
They are bonded and insured and rates comparable to boarding kennels.

And WELCOME to The Villages!!

We've used The Village Pet Spa on Rolling Acres in Lady Lake. They have a great facility at reasonable rates. Don't let the "spa" scare you - they are down to earth and take great care of our boy. He loves going so much, he gets excited when he sees our luggage come out. Good luck!

On the advice of TOTV poster I used Mt. Dora animal hospital. It is very nice and not too expensive. We think it is worth the drive. It is on the way to both airports.

Default Dog Kennel: Overnights and Play days

I have a great kennel from my large poodle. The kennel is located off 441
and is easily accessible for all the villagers. Her facilities are very nice. Kathleen has a good understanding of the each dog's personality and group them safely with others in divided large outdoor yards. So they get socialization and lots of play time. My dog loves to go to the kennel, whether for several days or just an afternoon of play. Kathleen @ (352)409-1642 I think she has a web site but not use of the name. I've used her a couple years.

We used The Village Pet Spa on Rolling Acres for our boxer. They were very good with our older dog. Would recommend them.

We use Village Pet Spa. Our dog gets a bag with his name on it, a report card when we pick him up, and if your dog is there 6 nights or more, a free bath and nail clipping. Great staff!
