Dropped all 3 of my large dogs off here. I have two with separation anxiety so she made sure to keep them together. They even took their walks and played together. Talerie went above and beyond letting me know if something seemed "off" with any of them and sending some pictures so I could see my fur babies during our trip. They were dropped off on a Saturday and picked up the following Saturday, all bathed and healthy when I picked them up....I was given an update on how they did....they are tired and happy to be home! I'm sure they enjoyed meeting new friends. I will definitely use them again.
Talerie wanted me to feel comfortable and the pups to be comfortable....she even had me bring them for a free daycare day so they could meet the staff before our trip and drop of wouldn't be the first time they have been there.
I may do a few daycare days throughout the year so next vacation they will feel even more at ease and so will I. I told her from the beginning I was nervous and she responded with "what can we do to make you feel more comfortable" also she was happy to answer any questions or concerns along the way.
Thank you!

We were very pleased with the family friendly approach at Old stage Kennel. They included our children and even allowed them to walk back and get our doggies! The staff was very pleasant. We will definitely be returning for future stays.

I've taken my dog to old state kennels for 3 years he goes to 2 to 3 days a week. As soon as has he sees his ziploc bag of food in the morning for daycare he runto the garage door and waits for me and jumps into the car. The staff are incredible and very kind to my dog. Not sure what I do without them.

I've been taking my labradoodle to Old Stage for five years. He is a large, energetic boy that loves to play. I like that he gets to be outside on real grass instead of inside on a concrete floor where he can't really run. At Old Stage, they match dogs up with similar energy levels and make sure they are compatible before they let them go out together. I take him to "camp" twice a week to play with his buddies. He always comes home happy and tired. I used to take him to Petsmart for daycare which cost twice as much. Unfortunately, they would put him in time out (a kennel run) because he was too playful. He never came home tired and was very anxious when I took him in. It's the exact opposite at Old Stage. He runs and jumps in the car when I ask if he wants to go to camp. He loves all the employees and they all know and love him.
I have also boarded him at Old Stage when I've gone on vacation. I used to feel guilty about leaving him at a kennel but now I know he is well taken care of and having a good time himself.

Old Stage Kennels has taken care of our dogs for years. Our dogs have always been well cared for and have had great experiences. We highly recommend OSK for quality and friendliness of service and for the attention they give to our pets!

*****

We have been taking our black lab here for 5 years whenever we will be out of town and need boarding. The staff is always friendly and our dog always loves to go. When we hand him off to the workers to go back to his run he is pulling on his leash and doesn't even look back. Like a kid who can't wait to see his friends at the playground :-) The runs are indoor/outdoor, just like we have at home. You can also set up playtime in a yard with other compatible dogs, which my dog loves. We've used them multiple times a year, even up to 3 weeks when we were on vacation, and our dog is certainly happy to see us when we pick him up, but he always comes home happy and healthy.

Just wanted to share that our schnauzer, Margee Jo, loves being pampered by Pam who grooms dogs at Old Stage Kennels. She, obviously, loves furbabies and treats them like her own. She has been very encouraging about how Margee will adapt to her recent sudden onset of blindness. Pam's fees are reasonable and the facility is clean and a healthy place for our girl to be every month!

Thanks, Pam, for doing a great job of keeping our girl looking her best.

*****

We love boarding our pups here, they treat them just like family. My pups come home tired and happy when we pick them up.

*****

Been training our Labradoodle there for a couple of months. We really are happy with them for training, grooming and day and overnight boarding. Our dog is always excited to see the staff and go to the kennel. It is great to have one place I can go to for most services needed.

*****

This place is wonderful ! My doggy gets excited to go! It is full service, with a very friendly staff

*****

My Goldendoodle, Maverick, has been going to Old Stage since he was a puppy (now almost 5 yo). They are super accommodating with my busy schedule and last minute reservation needs. My dog has stayed there for multiple weeks at a time and comes home happy and healthy and exhausted from all the fun! I highly recommend!!

*****

We have been bringing our dogs to Old Stage Kennels for a couple of years now. We have always had great customer service and felt confident that our dogs would be well taken care of. The staff always remembers our pups and it makes me feel better knowing that they are loved on while we're away! They are timely in response, affordable, and most importantly caring.

*****

We love this place. The owner called us during our vacation to inform a possible UTI in our pup. She picked up the antibiotics from my vet, even offered to take my pup to her vet, and made sure our pup received the care needed.
This is a fantastically well rounded facility focused on the physical and mental health of the animals under their care.
I am grateful to have a happy, family feeling place to send my fur babes while we are away from home. I know my pups are in good hands.
Thank you Talerie and staff!

We were camping in the area and planned to be away for a few hours. Call last minute to get my parents dog in for daycare. They took her in with open arms. The facility is clean and the dogs are well taken care of. Great place for an out of towner.

Second to none

We have used Old Stage Kennel for over 7 years and have always had great service. When we got our new puppy, they had expanded their services so we took our pup for training classes there. We now use their grooming services too. Logan did a great job and Pam is the sweetest and very helpful! They get to know your dog and treat them with loving care!

*****

I'm blessed to have found a wonderful grooming place with the option of boarding for when I leave town. My dogs know all of the staff...and boy do they care and spoil my dogs. So happy we have them.

*****

My dogs seemed super happy at this place. I saw a couple photos on FB of my pouches which was nice. They were groomed well. The only reason for four instead of five was because I was charged an extra $50 with no explanation, I received 3 out of 4 towels back, 3 out of 4 bones back and 0 out of 1 food scooper back. None of that matters because I received 4 out of 4 happy dogs back!

*****

We had our dogs groomed there for the first time and they did a great job - we have two large dogs (a Pyrenees and an English shepherd mix) and they look fantastic! We were running very late for our appointment and the staff were very accommodating and still able to fit both dogs into their busy schedule.

*****

Did great with our boy, Fionn!

*****

Such an amazing place! Took great care of our dog Fionn!! Would definitely recommend!

*****

They do a great job taking care of my little girl. They groom and bathe her keeping her looking her best. She loves seeing everyone and is excited to go when I mention it to her. And I love the pictures they post of the dogs on their FB page. I have seen many of my girl on there.

*****

Absolutely great place! We always feel comfortable leaving our dog in their care. They take great care of him.

Old Stage is the only Kennel for my fur babies, they are always well taken care of and happy when they go there.

We are first-time customers of Old Stage who were worried about how Ozzie, our 14+ year-old 100-pound Bouvier would handle boarding since he is not really mobile any longer. He can stand and walk, but he needs help getting up and negotiating steps or inclines. The caring professionals at Old Stage put us at ease and cared for Ozzie like he was a member of their family. He did so well under their thoughtful watch and loving hands! Ozzie was happy and content when I picked him up and we have already made plans for him to visit this top-notch facility again. They didn’t think he was a bother, even though taking care of him I know was more work than a younger dog. Ozzie received the best care ever at Old Stage! Highly Recommend!

Old Stage Kennel is our “go to” place whenever we need help with our 2 goldendoodle puppies. We use the groomer, Pam and the boarding services. Everyone does a great job and our dogs seem very comfortable with them. The owner, Talerie, is teaching us to train the pups and give us advice regarding behavioral issues that arise.
Thanks to Old Stage Kennel for helping relieve some of the stress associated with raising our puppies!

*****

I've boarded Louie at least four times and I couldn't be happier with the way they care for him. I wouldn't think of boarding him anywhere else. They send me pictures while I'm gone. He's all cleaned up and groomed when I pick him up. I'm so glad I have someone I trust totally to care for my little furbaby.

*****

I've taken my mixed doggy, Jacques (Corgi/Doxie) to Old Stage twice, now, and love it. The attention to Jacques is wonderful and the grooming he receives is excellent. I used to take him to a large pet store grooming salon, which was fine, but it was far more expensive and I was never sure that the groomer was telling me the truth about his behavior. I want to know if he is causing any problems and I trust that at Old Stage I will be told the truth (and no, he doesn't exhibit any behavioral issues; although he is a bit anxious while being groomed). I gladly drive the two hour round trip (from Westwood in Cincinnati) to Waynesville for the wonderful services at Old Stage.

I have a wonderful chocolate lab that was miserable staying at a kennel prior to our vet recommending Old Stage. About two years ago we took Karl to Old Stage and the manager immediately recognized that Karl was not happy being put in a kennel and let him "hang out" in the front office whence he became one of the "greeters". What stands out about this facility is their ability to accommodate such a wide range of dog behaviors and make the overall experience so positive.

I have taken my dog here for at least 20 years and they have always done a great job, what I liked about it was the inside outside runs the dogs have, so they are not always inside until someone lets them out. I thinks pets experience anxiety when they are outside of their normal routine, but this place is a great alternative to keeping the pet with you.
