I recently had the pleasure of boarding my three German Shepherds at this wonderful dog kennel, and I can't praise it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the warm welcome from the owners, Don and Pam.

The kennel itself was spotless, which immediately put my mind at ease about leaving my 3 rascals there. The indoor and outdoor areas were well-maintained, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could need for a comfortable stay. It was clear that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities, which is essential when caring for multiple dogs.

Don and Pam were absolute gems. They greeted us with genuine warmth and took the time to get to know each of my dogs individually. Their love for animals was evident in every interaction, and it was reassuring to see how much they cared about the well-being of all the pets in their care. They were also incredibly accommodating to any special requests or instructions I had for my dogs' care.

What impressed me the most was how Don and Pam handled my three German Shepherds. These dogs can be quite energetic and sometimes challenging, but the owners handled them with ease and kindness. They provided exercise, playtime, and attention, ensuring that my dogs were happy and content throughout their stay.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this dog kennel to any pet owner. The combination of a clean and well-maintained facility, friendly and caring owners like Don and Pam, and exceptional care for my German Shepherds made it a five-star experience. I wouldn't hesitate to board my dogs here again in the future, knowing they are in excellent hands.

Wanted to take the tram to the top for the day. Unfortunately they do not allow dogs. Paws and claws was so amazing to watch my dog for a few hours. Prices are very reasonable and my pup was well taken care of. Will definitely use again should I be in the area and need arise.

My dog had a wonderful time at Paws and Claws Kennel. They took excellent care of her and even bathed her and trimmed her nails. I recommend them to all my friends.

I’m in town for the summer and this place has been amazing for my 2 huskies while I am here. It’s great for them to have a place to play, swim, and enjoy the outdoors. Highly recommend!

Don and Pam are two of the most kind and compassionate humans we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. They love people, and they LOVE dogs. Our two female Labradors are picky and have no issue letting us know how they feel. If they do not like something they either cower or hackle up their fur. But when we even pull onto the edge of the driveway for Lin Leet Kennels, they go BERSERK because they cannot wait to come to their home away from home. They love staying at the kennel and staying with Don and Pam, who live on-site and give the dogs attention through the day. They feel loved and cared for and it shows in their enthusiasm each and every time we take them for a stay. We have left our girls with Don and Pam for anywhere as short as two days all the way up to just over three weeks while we roadtripped to Minnesota...and yet, each and every time they seem bummed when it is time to come home as the LOVE being there and LOVE the attention and care they get from Don and Pam. In this day and age when it is hard to find honest, hardworking and people with high integrity who do what they say and have the decency to care about and care for their neighbor, Don and Pam are working to make this world a little more tolerable place, one dog at a time. We are proud to call them our kennel, and now after a few years of taking our dogs their, people we care deeply about personally and professionally. Would never hesitate to take our dogs there. Would never hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Owners are wonderful, the facilities are well organized for the dogs, price is a bargain, and kennels are clean. It is not a luxury hotel, but it is a great kennel. Dogs that are a good match get to play in the shared yards, those that aren't still get the chance to do their business on their own time in the yard. Kennels seem a good size even for a giant breed. I hate to leave my dog at all, but feel very lucky to have this place close by so at least I know she is in good hands.

My dog and cat have stayed at the kennel many times over the past 15 years. They both love Don and Pam!
I can travel on vacation or go to medical appointments and not have any worries about my pets. Don is very thoughtful about which dogs interact well with others.
I have had to call last minute due to an emergency and Pam answered the phone friendly and with kindness. Lin Lee Kennel is a treasure to our community and I am deeply thankful!

Although I'm moving and unable to use Lin Lee Kennels anymore, I needed to give them a stellar review. I have two labs that always hate to be left but whenever I take them there they run in tails wagging. Don and Pam are very friendly and do a great job of taking care of my dogs. I think the facilities are great and unlike some larger boarding kennels I've used, my dogs don't leave smelling like kennel or seem stressed when I pick them up. Thanks for doing a great job!
