Testimonials

“As a very picky dog owner who expects a lot from pet sitters, I couldn’t be happier with the attention and care that our two German Shepherds received while staying at Mason Dixon K9 during our vacation. I was especially nervous about leaving our older dog, who suffers from anxiety, but the owners and the staff went above and beyond to make sure both of our dogs were comfortable and well-cared for. Thanks to their care, my family and I were able to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. A special shoutout to the groomer (Haley) as well, she did an amazing job! It is clear that she spent a lot of time brushing and grooming our two German Shepherds, and they looked, smelled and felt amazing when we picked them up, the best I’ve ever seen them look after a grooming session. I truly appreciate the professionalism and compassion of this kennel and am so grateful to have found them.”

“Mason Dixon K9 did a fantastic job training my Beagle! When I lost hope in training him and places like PetSmart and PetCo did not work, I was referred to Mason Dixon by someone I knew from the dog park. After months of debating it, I finally reached out and enrolled my Beagle into their 2 week Boot Camp! I am so glad I did! They got my Herbie whipped into shape and there was a noticeable difference after only one day. Then, after my lesson where they brought me in to show me everything they taught him and how to continue training him in the ways they used, Herbie was a new Beagle! Definitely still my baby with his loving personality, but with manners! I cannot sing their praises high enough! Big thanks to Ryan and his team!”
– Haley W.

“What can I say about Mason Dixon? They are PHENOMENAL! I attached some photos they’ve taken of my dog at boarding; she always has such a great time. I am also so glad i get to see how much fun she is having. I’ve taken my dog to other boarding facilities and sometimes my dog would be so anxious and ready to leave boarding, but not here. The staff really goes above and beyond with their dogs; they genuinely care about them and take pride in their work. You know I must love the place if I am willing to make the 40 minute drive one way lol! Emma especially takes special interest in my fur baby thank you Mason Dixon!”
