I have boarded 3 dogs at Whispering Winds on many occasions. My dogs are actually excited when we pull up to the kennel. I have always been satisfied with the quality of care and the willingness to go above and beyond shown to me by the owners. I would recommend Whispering Winds to anyone who loves their furry family member!

The Kennel stresses a vetting process for each animal. Lies. Employees are forced to deal w/ animals that may prove docile at first but turn restless. Should a dog prove themselves hostile then the employees can only depend on one another to manage a dangerous animal. More often than not the management will admonish the dogs if they're too noisy & even neglect their well-being: too hot during the summer, too cold in winter, even skimp on medicine! \If they don't want to take it then don't worry.\ Management will allow any animal there so long as it means more . As for employees they're expected to take on responsibilities for which they never volunteered in their application: groundskeeper, improve infrastructure, and garden no matter rain or shine and in a kennel that routinely flooded due to poor construction! During the fall there would be leaf burnings and the kennel would always lie downwind from a bonfire that was fueled w/ gasoline! The management skimps on hourly pay, insisting that if there's nothing to be done then employees can scram, and should there be any concerns then all problems are dismissed. This was typical of the couple in charge in which they fostered a phony atmosphere of concern, but would flout their own duties: losing paper work, give little to no warning of a client's arrival & changed out their staff yer after year or reduce it to a skeleton crew in order to save additional expecting those left to drop whatever they were doing outside of work! Needless to say the employees suffered with most expressing dissatisfaction despite dedicating themselves to 7 day work weeks. Work too slowly and there's punishment. Work too quickly & you'll not be paid the full amount. As for pet services there's many others besides WWK & knowing that it's not the only business which the couple has going on (1 of 3) they'll not hurt for the loss of business.
My precious “Arya” (2yo Female Doberman/Boxer) absolutely loves any time of the day that she can go visit Sherry & Huge, along with their truly amazing and professional staff and family. They have watched over 3 different dogs for me over almost 5 years now since moving back to the area from Arizona. Including my ex-wife’s Shar-Pei/Ridgeback “Jager”, and our cherished and missed senior English Lab “Koda” The longest stay was over a month while waiting for the house to close and living in a hotel. The shortest stay around a day or two when working out of town on short notice. The “Sportsmans package” is my personal favorite package for when she stays. Arya absolutely loves getting a nice long walk through the huge property and getting playtime in every day, and I always add a “bye bye bath” to get her squeaky clean prior to coming home. They also have a climate controlled building, and is in an extremely safe and secure location so I know my pup is always in good hands 24/7. I highly recommend “Whispering Winds Kennels” to anybody that is looking for a family owned/operated, well established, clean and professional kennel for their fur baby to stay at when needed any size, shape, or style!
Very friendly staff. I could tell our fur baby enjoyed her stay.
Very nice and quiet place for a dogs! I will send my dog there in the future for sure
