Chuckling Hound Ranch

Leaving my pups (Pearl & Cinco) at Chuckling Hound gives me peace of mind. The boarding facilities are clean, spacious, and designed with a dog’s needs in mind. (I especially like the enclosed patio each room has to allow boarders to mosey out and enjoy the outdoors whenever they want.) When we arrive at Chuckling Hound, we are greeted as if we were family. Adette and her staff are always happy to see us – meeting us before we even walk in the door with smiles, friendly greetings, and hugs (for humans and dogs alike). Adette spends extra time with the pups to put them (and us) at ease before taking them to their room, and she sends us texts and photos to let us know all is well during their stay. We’ve been loyal clients for four years because I know Adette and her staff consistently give our «babies» the best care possible – including individual playtime, walks, and attention. I wouldn’t think of boarding Pearl & Cinco any other place.

After our Rover sitter cancelled on us last minute, we called around to find anyone who could take care of our pup for a trip we were leaving on the next morning at 5am. Someone had recommended Adette so we quickly called to see if they could accommodate us. They saved us! Adette was so patient with us and we were able to take care of all the info over the phone and have Jill, our pitbull, there within an hour even though it was within closing time. We loved how sweet they were and we also loved that they use natural approach to everything. Jill looked so happy when we picked her up vs how she looked when we picked her up from the sitter that cancelled on us. The ranch was very clean and we would recommend them to anyone.
Tip: it’s a little hard to find so keep your eyes peeled or you’ll miss it.

My sensitive 11 month pup (who struggles a bit with separation anxiety) has never stayed with anyone besides family members (and never alone overnight without my husband or myself), and stayed with Adette for the first time last weekend. I was very upset and nervous to leave her overnight with anyone, but Adette did such a wonderful job loving on my girl and making her feel right at home! My dog seemed to have a great time and it’s great to know that I have somewhere to take her next time I will be away from home. I will definitely return! Thanks, Adette!

Love this place! I brought my two labs here for loving while we moved. This is their permanent boarding spot! I got updates and pics, she’s certified in CPR incase something happens, there’s so much space, and it’s NOT kennel sitting like many other… eh hem, «kennels» and «boarding facilities»…much more like camp when we were little kids (minus the rope swing) than any kennel I’ve seen. We’ll be back!

Ziggy is happy as pie after another awesome stay at Chuckling Hound! Adette is amazing as usual. She sends us pics and updates and the love she has for the animals clearly shines. (She had just wrapped up teaching a canine first aid course when we got there today!)
We wouldn’t take our doggies anywhere else.

We took our girls there over Spring Break when our usual place was booked. I was so impressed by everything from online booking, the actual facility, the pictures of the girls during our trip, and Adette herself. She shows you the areas where your dogs will be, encourages items that will make them comfortable, and asks about their regular schedules. While I didn’t have any problems with our prior facility, we will take our girls back to CHR the next time we have to leave town without them.

My dog trainer referred me to Chuckling Hound after a not so great experience with a different facility. One of my dogs can be a little shy with new people, which I explained to the owner, Adette. She quickly offered to do a «meet and greet» with my dog so they could get acquainted. Adette is such a sweet person and immediately put all of my own nervousness aside. The facilities are spotless and roomy. There is a limited number of kennels, which I really like because that means the dogs get a great amount of attention.
When I did drop my dogs off, Adette had their rooms ready, took the time to go over some special instructions I had left, made sure she had all of contact information and really just made me feel like I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dogs.
My absolute favorite thing that Adette does is send you pictures and updates of your pups while they are in her care. She takes them out several times a day, giving them lots of love and attention. My dogs are usually pretty excited to get in the car and when it was time to leave, neither wanted to go. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what can.
I have since used Chucking Hound a few more times and as long as they are in business, I will be a customer. I would not trust my dogs to any other facility, especially after seeing the high level of quality care they get here. Chuckling Hound exceeded all of my expectations and then some.

I am sooo happy I found Adette and Chuckling Hound Ranch! I left my little gal there for a week and I knew she was in caring, capable hands. Adette is an amazing woman, so knowledgeable and passionate about animals and her business. I enjoyed getting email updates and pictures while I was away. Plus her online reservation system is so easy to use, makes it that more simple. The facility is immaculate and really well designed; the indorr/​outdoor rooms are perfect. I HIGHLY recommend CHR and am so happy to have found a home away from home for my pup.

Adette and the Chuckling Hound Ranch are both equally amazing, I am SO lucky to have found them. I could never imagine leaving my dog at a kennel, having her cooped up or sad for company– and I never will since we found the Chuckling Hound Ranch. Adette, the Ranch’s owner, is a wonderful hearted, natural animal enthusiast and activist who doesn’t just care for our little Macie, she loves her.
My dog is an active boxer but is actually quite timid around people as she is a rescue– but Adette is an expert with animal behavior and cares for, recues and adjusts to all different temperaments. My little Macie leaps for excitement when she arrives and loves to play and cuddle with Adette.
One of my favorite things about the ranch is knowing that each pet has their own patio, so they do not have to wait for someone to come let them out just once or twice a day like at kennels– they can enjoy the sunlight whenever they please. The folks there take them on walks, they get to play in the yard, and cool off in the little dog pools if they choose. The facilities are super new, clean and very spacious.
I cannot recommend this place enough, I never worry or have to feel guilty about traveling when Macie is at the Chuckling Hound Ranch. They are also so conveniently located near the airport. They do not take too many pets so yours always gets the attention they deserve. You will not find another place like this.

The facilities are clean and spacious, located on a wooded property where your pet will be taken for long walks by the most attentive staff you’ll ever hope to find. You couldn’t ask for better care for your furry friends.
