Myownly Boarding Kennel

We have a very large aggressive dog and have never left him with anyone or at a kennel before. The staff at my ownly were very understanding and professional. We went on a week long vacation and felt very comfortable leaving our dog and that he would be welled care for and safe. The facility was very clean and organized. At pick up they took the time to tell us about our dogs week and how he behaved. I would highly recommend this kennel to anyone.

Cathi Tower Chriscaden and her team are amazing! I drive from Seattle to Monroe to have her groom my Giant Schnauzer. I wouldn’t have anyone else groom him. Cathi is also one of the most knowledgeable dog people I have ever met. I know my boy is in great hands at My Ownly Kennel!

Our dog, Cady, is a rescue from an auto body shop in New Jersey. She’s the Rizzo to my Sandy. If she were our human daughter, we’d probably have to have an intervention on Dr. Phil. She’d be a delinquent and she’d cut you.
Since our first kennel experience didn’t work out so well (
), we searched frantically for a better option for our week-​long October trip. A neighbor’s dog walker said she took her dogs to Myownly Kennel in Monroe so off we went for our pre-​meeting.
Now Monroe is 70 minutes from our house so that will give you an idea of how desperate we were. We like our vacations. If it were up to Chris, Cady would join us on every one but sometimes you have to take an airplane and follow other folks’ No Pets policy. Our initial meeting was successful, complete with adorable dachsund puppies. These are true dog people who’ve set up a wonderful facility in the middle of Monroe horse country.
Cady was a little reluctant when we dropped her off for her first stay but Holly was so wonderful that it all went smoothly. We called in from vacation to hear that Cady had been shy at first (all an act, trust me) but had soon come out of her shell and all was well. What a relief!
When we went to pick her up, Holly was very pleased with how it had gone and said Cady was welcome any time. That is music to a dog parent’s ears! We went outside to await the release of our crazy canine, but what did we see? Instead of the whirling dervish we used to receive from our kennel in New York, here comes Cady trotting down the center aisle, taking one last demure peek at her kennel mates, sweetly acknowledging us wearing a Halloween bandana tied around her neck. She came out and immediately sat down. I think our jaws were on the floor.
Okay, that lasted for 1.5 seconds and then she started running around with her usual enthusiasm. When we got home, she jumped on the bed and sacked out for the night. Excellent.
For the deluxe stay (2 walks and playtime), Myownly charges $ 31/​night which is exactly what we used to pay in NY. Nice thing here is that provide their own beds and toys so we don’t have to haul everything back and forth. Pick up time on Sunday is 4 pm… that’s pretty much the window, 4 pm, so that’s not exactly convenient but we made it work. At least we knew our dog was in good hands.
