Karen is lovely. Our dogs loved her. The kennels are clean and well kept. It's a well kept family business, I wouldn't trust anyone else with our pets

Teddy loves this place. He's as happy going in as coming out, which basically says all you need to know.

Have been using Riverside for my dog Marley, he is always happy to stay there as he is treated as their own dog.
