Our dog, an Australian heeler, love’s to go to Ball’s Dog retreat and we love to take her there. We know that she will be safe and well taken care of. She gets several walks every day and gets to run in one of the many kennels when weather allows. Bot Sharon and Kevin obviously both are dog people and we have never had a problem. We have used Ball’s Dog Retreat many times from a few days to a couple weeks stays. They just truly love dogs and take care of them.

We highly recommend Ball’s Dog Retreat. Sharon and Kevin go above and beyond in caring for your pet. Their boarding facilities are clean, spacious and lots of room for dogs to play and exercise. We had a few emergencies where we had to leave our dog without a reservation and Sharon willingly helped us out. Thanks, Sharon, we appreciate your service.

Balls Dog Retreat is much more than a dog kennel! My pup began going to Sharon when she was about 6 months old. Zoe would get so excited when I turned into her place barking until she walked into the gate. Sharon and her staff are wonderful with animals!

Wonderful secluded location to boards dogs. Because of my disability I needed to board my precious corgi Mabel while she recovered from surgery. Sharon cared for her like she was her own. Plus she posts video clips of the dogs on her facebook page and I could see my Mabel was doing well. The second time I boarded both of my corgis. With her system of fences and gates they had a protected outdoor play area and could interact with the other dogs through the fences. Plus the property is watched by cameras and there is always someone on site. Sharon even has an area with a net top to protect the tiny dogs from natural predators like eagles. I recommend Ball's Dog Retreat.

My dog, Reba, has stayed with Sharon and Kevin several times. It is a wonderful place. Dogs are given individual attention , based on their needs. Reba will be staying at Ball's Retreat, this September, for a week. When I leave her, I know she's in good hands.
