55We had a great time here! It was a very cold rainy day and the dogs had a bunch of fun, the yard is well maintained and it wasn’t too muddy for us despite the weather. We forgot to add our newest puppy to our reservation and we were struggling to update the listing to reflect the price different, Amanda was kind enough grant us todays experience with the hope of us continuing to return. We certainly will! Toys, water, clear instructions for arrival. There is a separate mini gated area before entering the pain area which is so nice for getting organized with more than one excited dog. One of our dogs is an escape artist and she didn’t manage to fine any weak spots in the fencing thankfully!parker b.

55Always a wonderful time here. Lots of room for my dog to run and play, plenty of toys, cozy places to sit. Feels like being farther out of the city than it is, in a nice way. My dog loves it here so much, she starts getting excited half a mile before we arrive! Lauren R.

55We felt so welcome here at the Shire. Our names were written on a sign and the property feels very secure and is easy to find. The Shire is a great sunny spot! We appreciated the toys, water, different cozy seating areas, both sunny and covered, and all the amenities. Such a gorgeous country cottage feel to it with only a short drive from home. We had plenty of room to run, play frisbee without worrying it would go over the fence, and Reggie chased a squirrel up a tree. Liesl M.
