Archer Road Pet Resort

I have a very timid, small chihuahua that has never been boarded before so I was concerned as to how he would handle his first time. The staff at Archer Road immediately alleviated all of my fears with their kind and caring demeanors. They were extremely patient with me and took the time to discuss all of my concerns. When it finally came time to pick Diablo up after my vacation, I could tell he had a great time and really bonded with the staff. I now have no doubts about leaving him at Archer Road when I need to travel and I am confident he is in good hands!

Archer Road Pet Resort is the only kennel I’ve used for my dogs in 10 years! I travel several times a year and when I can’t get a dog-​sitter at home this is the place I trust. The location is in Archer, a bit of a drive outside Gainesville but worth the extra 20 minutes it takes me to get there. The kennel facility and play yards are spotless and well maintained. There is a veterinarian office next door, which is reassuring as well just in case your pet is sick when you’re away.
At ARPR, Mari Lou and her team are very attentive and seem to genuinely enjoy taking care of my animals. They accommodate special instructions and communicate clearly. (You get a detailed report at the end of your pets stay — it includes the feeding and bathroom summary — I call it their «poop report!») My dogs are happy to see everyone and don’t look back when I drop them off, and they’re happy and calm (and tired) when they return home from a stay there. My dogs have never had any problems. The kennel staff even noticed a couple of minor health issues (such as a nail fungus I would never have noticed on my puppy) and their groomer (who is excellent) is very well informed. She explained why my dogs were having an allergic reaction to an expensive organic food that was «hypoallergenic» — she knew all about my dog breed’s unique quirks. So helpful! I trust ARPR with my pets’ safety and wellbeing and recommend them highly. My friends also use them, and they’ve used their High Springs location, too.

I brought my dog here for a few years for boarding and grooming, but when their main groomer left in Janurary, it went down hill. The groomer they have now clipper burnt my dog and they refused to pay for it. I now bring my dog to Pet Paradise Resort, my dog seems much happier.
