We left our small breed dog there for three days. As soon as we got there to drop off the dog, a door was opened into the place where our dog would stay, as soon as it was opened there were racks of cages the size of milk crates filled with little dogs that were loudly barking. I was devistated and upset when i saw that, this was not shown on the internet images. My heart was broken and I was very close to canceling the trip,due to the fact that my dog had to sit in a tiny cage for three days straight. What made matters worse was that, the people at the desk had told us when we got there that if we wanted a playtime for our dog it was $6, a walk was $4. How would you even know these things would actually been done with your dog when you were gone? It was expensive enough, I mean like additional charges, thats rediculous. Never to go there again!!

I have never left my two border collies (only friends) but, in this case, we decided to leave them at Holly's Pride and even though I was very nervous, the fact that they have been around for such a long time gave me the courage to try them. My girls were VERY happy when I took them home, even though one of them is very nervous and shy. I called them to see how they were doing and the girls will tell me everything that was happening. They kept me posted and I believe they were very loving with my girls. I will recommend Holly's pride and I am sure I will leave them there again!

To the staff: Keep the good work, not only making our dogs happy but us too.

Our nine year old Choclolate Lab has been kennelled at Holly's Pride anytime we are away since she was a pup. It's like a wonderful camp experience for her each time and we are relaxed and comfortable when we are away knowing that she is in a caring and warm environment. We have been unable to get her in this year for 6 days in March and we are totally beside ourselves since she will have to go to another kennel. We hope and pray that Holly's Pride will have a cancellation and call us. It is the best kennel ever!

My gigantic dog just stayed for 5 days at Holly's. The girls must have given him lots of lovin' because he came home happy, not-stressed, as if he'd never been away from home, and this is not a typical thing for my dog King who is such a home-body. The staff was friendly, professional and you can tell they love animals.

As for the other person who wrote a nasty review, don't listen to that crap. Obviously someone with issues if they didn't even bother to find out or get a clue about what happened.

I'm the pickiest person in the world, and I'd definitely have my dog stay there any day.

I have three large breed dogs that have all stayed at both the Burlington & Ancaster locations & boy was I impressed. Both locations are extremely clean, welcoming, & cater to all budgets. There is even theme designed villa's with a bed, decor & a TV that plays the Animal Channel! The staff are very professional & compassionate about their job which made me feel even better when having to leave my dogs with them. Whenever I come to drop off the dogs, the Holly's staff are always excited to see them! I really like that additional options available on top of the already amazing packages. Bigs dogs need to run so I always sign them up for extra walks & playtimes.

In regards to the other review, I guess you need to keep your pet in the plastic bubble it has lived in because dogs DO bark & can get excited, especially if they have never been properly socialized.

I have never had to leave my dog at a kennel before. I will never do it again. I have no idea went on with my dog while I was away, but I came back to a very different animal. He had blood between his two front paws. My guess is from scratching at the crate. His voice was hoarse and for a few days on my return he had a very different bark then when I left him. My guess is from constant barking.
I don't know what other kennels are like and I will never find out. I will never leave my dog in a kennel again. I can't say for sure what went on while I was away, but my guess is it wasn't a very pleasant experience for my dog.
This place was recommended to me by my vet.
