Great place! Our dog loves going and the staff are awesome. We also had Jeff install an underground fence and they did a great job. Would highly recommend!
Matt
The staff at Northland Pet Lodge are wonderful and highly skilled. The facility is excellent, and they are always there when you need them. Your pets will be incredibly happy here. They won't even realize they're being boarded; it's more like a fun camp. My little Belle thrives there, as the staff actively engage with and keep the pets busy.
Darrell
All three of our dogs absolutely love going to Northland Pet Lodge! Once, when I missed the turn into the parking lot, my dog actually started whining. They're always so excited to get inside and never even turn back to say goodbye. The employees are great, and the care is exceptional
Thanks, Jeff, for the outstanding business you run. From helpful in-store assistance with food questions to the excellent care of our dogs during their stays, and even Bill's help with our fence, replacing batteries, and adjusting settings—Northland Pet Lodge truly is a gem in Crosslake.
