Jim is wonderful to work with. The kennel is air conditioned and the kennels are spacious and have an indoor and outdoor section. He was so sweet to our dog and was wonderful to my family. We called to check on Paige and he called us back quickly. We already have another boarding date scheduled!

I recently boarded my dog at Durham Kennels and was pleased with the experience. The kennel is located in a beautiful country setting and Jim took great care of Turbo. I highly recommend this kennel for boarding your pet.
