Hear From Our Pet Parents

Thank you all for taking such good care of my Nelson. I had never boarded any of my animals before and I was nervous but they did great with my cat! They were informative and the pricing was great. They also didn’t mind that I called in and checked on him! If you need to board your cat, Cottonwood Retreat is the best!

We have been taking our dogs to The Retreat several times a year since 2017 when traveling. The staff is always very helpful and courteous. We know that our dogs are always in kind and competent care while visiting. We highly recommend The Retreat to any pet owner who needs a safe, clean, & friendly place for their pets.

I love the retreat! The staff is always very helpful and care very well for my dogs. My dogs get so tired from playing and being with the other dogs at the daycare.

— Emmalee B.

The staff are great and friendly. It's perfect for my two puppies to get interaction with other dogs during the day care program, and the overnight boarding is convenient and comfortable for them.

— Danielle D.

We kept our baby here when we went on vacation and the staff was so kind when I would call asking how he is. They have so many options for your animals while boarding. They are awesome!
