City of Greensburg Police Department

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the service that you provide at your facility. For the past two years you have cared for my partner “Dax” while I have been away on vacation. As a police canine handler it is extremely important to find a quality boarding facility and yours is the best I have seen. Not only is your kennel clean and comfortable for “Dax” your knowledge of animal behavior is second to none. It is rare to find someone who understands how a dog is reacting based on his body posture, breathing and attitude. This is a great example of someone who not only takes pride in his work but has the years of experience and training to be the best in his field. Your customers should feel comfortable by knowing that they are leaving their pets in your care.

The City of Greensburg Police Department is grateful for the quality care that you have provided to “Dax”

Sincerely,
Charles Irvin

I’ve owned dogs my entire life and up until recently, I have never boarded them. In fact, I’ve always been ”anti-kennel” and have been fortunate to always have family available to watch my beloved pets. But as years go by and family has moved away, I was faced with the only option….to board my two dogs. As I began the dreaded search, I set appointments at four different local kennels.

I was completely unimpressed with the first kennel I visited. As I was taken on my “tour”, I was actually horrified at the amount of dogs there were. Rooms upon rooms, rows upon rows of dogs. My only thought was “how could they possibly take care of ALL of these dogs and take care of them well.” Envisioning my dogs here broke my heart. There was no way I was leaving them here.

The next two kennels weren’t as bad but the first thing I noticed upon walking in was the overwhelming smell of dog urine. One of the kennels wouldn’t allow me to go back and see where the dogs were boarded. She said “I don’t want them to all start barking.” Immediate red flag. What was she hiding? Again, I was thoroughly unimpressed.

I was so discouraged at this point that I figured I’d just cancel my fourth and final appointment and try to figure something else out. I mean the fourth appointment, this guy wanted me to bring along my two large dogs so that he could meet them. What a pain! I live 40 minutes away and to put my two large dogs in my car for that trip was not appealing to me. I had the phone in my hand to actually cancel but for some reason, I kept hesitating. Should I go or not? I decided to go even though I was not happy about it.

So I put my big Golden Retriever and Saint Bernard in the car and off we went to Greensburg.

Upon arrival at Countryside Play-N-Stay, the first thing I noticed was how clean and pleasant smelling the front office was. How refreshing not to smell dog urine right off the bat. The staff was very friendly and attentive to my dogs. They immediately sat down on the floor with them and played with them and rubbed their bellies. They answered any and all questions I had and spent ample amount of time with me and my dogs. I was given a tour of the facility and again, was so impressed with how clean it was. It was a smaller scale kennel and I liked that. The dog runs were all very clean and you could tell the dogs were well taken care of. I never got the sense that my dog would not get the care he/she deserved.

I filled out my paperwork and the rest is history. I have used Countryside Play-N-Stay several times and have never once hesitated in leaving my dogs there. They are happy to go there and are happy when they come home. I have no doubt they get wonderful care there and I will never use another kennel! If you are looking at kennels and are at all hesitant, don’t hesitate to go and see Countryside Play-N-Stay. You will be happy you did, and so will your dog!!!

Thank you for taking such good care of our Yanni and Gus. We knew they where in caring hands and we didn't have to worry about their saftey and well being. If dogs could talk, we know Yanni and Gus would say - "Don't ever board us anywhere but at Countryside Play N Stay - we love it!" Thanks again to you and your staff

Todd, Jessica & Tyka

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent care and attention that you have given our dog, Tyka. Tyka can be a bit skittish around new people; we were so pleased at how immediately he felt comfortable with you and at your kennel. It was a great relief knowing that he was staying in such an outstanding facility with people who really care about animals. We also especially appreciate your consideration and flexibility. There have been times when we have called last minute for Tyka to come and stay at Countryside Play-N-Stay and you have never turned us away. Finding people that you trust your animals with can be difficult, but we feel truly blessed that we have found such a wonderful place that Tyka truly enjoys visiting. Thank you again!!!

Kaitlin, Mike & Sydney

You have now idea how much that meant to us & how comfortable we felt trusting you... We did not have to worry while on vacation! She adapted well once she got home - although I think she missed you both & her new dog friends.

Curt, Anna Maria & Sandy

Thanks so much for your excellent care. Sandy can’t wait to come visit again! You made a new friend.

Mark, Teresa & Ginger

Thank you for taking care of Ginger! We appreciate your kindness! Ginger is looking forward to visiting you again.

Barb & Larry

We want to thank you for the excellent and loving care you gave out kitty, Britta, while we were out of town. It was so reassuring and greatly appreciated to know that she was so well taken care of in our absence.

Mark, Cara, Tyler, Gavin & Harley

Thank you for always taking such great care of Harley! She loves visiting you!

Jess, Adam & Hank

We wanted to say thank you for the excellent treatment and care our dog Hank received at your kennel. We especially wanted to express our gratitude for the special care he received after his surgery. We were a little uneasy because he had just had surgery and we needed to make a trip out of state. It was hard for us to leave him, but we had no choice. Once we dropped him off we were able to relax because we knew he was in good hands. You gave him the care and rest that he needed. When we came to pick him up, he was back to his old self. We highly recommend you to all of our family and friends looking for a kennel. We look forward to using you again in the future.
