Estes Kennels - Godfrey, Illinois

Let me tell you about the Best Kennel Ever! Kevin and Ellen are really sweet and caring people. They can't replace you to your pet, but let me tell ya, they are the best. Clean, cool, or heat when needed, just a relief of the mind that they are truly being cared for. Communication, via text, or Ellen will Always take your call. We left 3 small dogs with them for 12 days, that had never been away from us, and they did great. She even told me that they were gonna miss kids! Lol I will definitely be sending my babies there again!!

Clean, convenient, and kind. They did a great job taking care of our dogs for a long holiday weekend. First time using them and we will again when we go out of town.

I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding care and service provided by the exceptional family-owned dog kennel where we have been keeping our furry friend, Palmer. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that immediately put us at ease about leaving our beloved pet in their care.

The staff at the kennel truly go above and beyond to ensure that every dog under their watch receives the utmost attention, love, and comfort. Palmer has been taken care of many times by this wonderful team, and each time, he comes back happy, healthy, and well-loved. The family atmosphere at the kennel made us feel like Palmer was staying with relatives who genuinely cared for him.

I wholeheartedly recommend this family-owned dog kennel to anyone looking for a safe, welcoming, and loving environment for their furry family members. We are so grateful for the exceptional care and attention that Palmer has received during his stays, and we will definitely be returning to this fantastic establishment in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of our Palmer!

A fair price for boarding! They treat the dogs well, but it isn't a doggie daycare where there might be a lot of one on one scenarios, so if that is your wish, you might want to see if they offer something like that or have a local recommendation. My family has used them for their dogs (labs and lab mixes) while on vacation many times and have always been happy.

My boys were extremely well taken care of and the owners were very attentive to them! I called every couple days as they are my kids and I worry and she reassured me every time how good they were doing. They are very happy to be home but it's a godsend knowing we have such a wonderful place we can trust to leave them with. Extremely reasonable under $400 for 9 days for our 100+ lbs boys.

They are phenomenal! Used them for nearly a month to board my brother’s dog and cat while he found a new place. Prices are great, owners are friendly, and they even gave updates on how each was doing. Highly recommended and would use in the future if needed. ❤️

My very spoiled small doggy has been there twice this year. I am definitely a helicopter mom (very protective and tend to hover over her a lot). The owners said I could call and check on her as much as I felt needed. Each time I called they answered and gave me step by step details of what she was doing. When she didn’t eat, they worked with getting her to eat. They spoiled her and gave her the attention she needed to feel safe. I have had four dogs in my lifetime and have never felt as safe as I have with Estes Boarding. They are a wonderful family owned business and would very highly recommend their business to everyone! We love going to Estes!

I've had my dog stay at the Estes Kennels several times when going on vacations, and I feel like she is taken care of well there each time. The owner is kind and the prices are reasonable.
