Outstanding care. Our dog did not want to go home; when she first went to car she turned around to go back inside. Healthy and well groomed at reasonable rates. Great people.

After a terrible experience with hiring an in-home sitter for our anxious rescue pittie, Lily, we found Silver Maple. We thought it was near impossible to find a boarder to take Lily because of her dog reactiveness, but Silver Maple assured us they were up to the responsibility and we have used them ever since! Very happy they didn’t turn Lily away and instead take the extra precautions to keep her and other dogs safe and give us the peace of mind to be able to leave for trips knowing she’s well cared for.

Excellent boarding and grooming.

Jacqui Dougherty 3 months ago

Love the team here. I have two very bonded dogs that struggle when boarded but not at Silver Maple. They have kennels large enough for them to board together. The boys are always excited when we pull up and come out groomed and dapper. The staff are definitely animal lovers which makes it so easy to trust them with our furry ones.
