Many boarding facilities are booked just after conception, especially during prime seasons. Take note of the way you will be treated from your initial contact.

You need your call returned within 1 or 2 working days. This often shows that employees is committed to their work and feel like your telephone call is significant.

How rushed did you feel? You should feel relaxed in addressing your concerns and requests.

Feeling such as these requests is taken heed of, and you will be followed through, will let you generate a rapport using the staff. You will be looking over boarding arrangements with an upcoming vacation, though the facility staff must be investigating you as a long lasting client, an individual who is going to be booking more visits down the road, plus they should want to be to know you and the dog on the personal level.
