In addition to being clean,
safe, and spacious, bucolical-
ly located Best Friends Pet
Care has a live webcam so
owners can keep an eye on
their pooch from a distance,
which for many "parents"
is a real comfort. Being able
to see your little one playing
with other pups and engag-
ing with the dog-loving staff
offers peace of mind (and it's
fun). Many of the "coun-
selors" are longtimers and
remember both pets and
owners by name. Custom-
ized playgroups are arranged
so that rough-and-tumble
"toddlers" can play hard,
while older dogs are given
space to be social without
getting caught in the fray.
Also, dogs are screened
prior to attending daycare
to make sure they're a good
fit. According to one "mom,"
"The staff really gets each
dog, and the dogs get what
they want." For boarding,
pups that are accustomed
to living together can share
the same suite, use bedding
from home, and keep their
favorite toys. They even
offer on-site grooming.
"When I pick the dogs up af-
ter a week away, they always
look and smell great!"
