Silver Maple has taken care of our senior dog twice now when we have gone out of town and also in preparation for a move. Our pupper is a very anxious rescue, and was understandably nervous the first time we took him. He did well! Took him a day to start eating, which is what he does when he's in a strange place, but they worked with him and even found that a little water sprinkled on his dry food helped him to eat. The second time we took him in, he was excited to be there and remembered the staff, so it was less stressful. I have tried the pack/group boarding places and he does okay with them, but he really does better in his own space. This place was perfect! Thank you, Silver Maple Pet Center!

Had a brief unfortunate interaction with this establishment at a professional capacity. As an animal professional, I would not have my dog here under any circumstances. Kennels are very tiny, the facility is a patchwork job and smells disgusting (and I am used to animal smells), the staff I did interact with clearly had no knowledge of animal behavior. The staff member let a known aggressive dog loose towards my partner and I, it proceeded to charge us multiple times to the point we had to remove ourselves from the area, or it would have resulted in a bite. I imagine people pay a pretty penny to board their dogs here, given the area. They should know what they’re paying for.

I was reluctant to board greyhound Mortimer (Morty) for the first time since I adopted him in late summer 2024. He came from a racing-training farm in Abilene, KS and wasn't a fit for racing so he came home to a pretty spoiled lifestyle before he was 2! He's pretty bonded with me and is protective of our house. I was not sure what it would feel like for him to be back in a communal setting when I needed to attend to my family out of state. Silver Maple was wonderful! BAH recommended Silver Maple and I see why! I liked the ability to drop off Morty's bed and a few of his favorite toys and treats and the staff said he settled in and enjoyed running next to his "neighbors" in the adjacent runs. I feel so relieved that this experience was positive for Morty!

Only place I trust my babies with.

They do a great job with grooming and have gotten us in quickly for nail trims! Thrilled to have found this spot.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Silver Maple Farms! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and my dogs were clearly well cared for! I have used kennels in the past and when I picked them up they were stressed and took a day or two to bounce back. This was not the case with Silver Maple! They were calm, happy, and sleepy from all of the fun! Thank you very much for taking such wonderful care of Olive and Otis!!!

These folks are the best. Terrific groomers, very reasonable, and they're great with the pups. We used to live 5 mins away, but even after we moved across town we still make the trek. They're that good.

Silver Maple is the best place for our dog. She’s a bit anxious but whenever I say “Silver Maple” Jenni’s tail starts wagging. When I drop her off she runs to the employees and doesn’t even turn around to say “bye”. They take such great care of her and she always comes back happy. When we have to go out of town I know she’s in the best care and the staff are always happy to give me an update when I call to check in. I recommend this facility to everyone I know.

They are really great with cats and appear to be at least as good with dogs. Using them for boarding my beloved cat gives me an extra level of comfort when I'm traveling - the difference between relaxing and nagging worry.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Macie Samuelson has cared for our dog in grooming as if she is her most precious asset. A priceless experience at Silver Maple! 10 out of 5 stars!

Stay in the loop!
