WCK does a great job boarding our dogs. We are have used them many times. You can trust your beloved four-legged with WCK.

Absolutely the best! All of the staff is top notch and treat your animal as their own. We have used WKK for the last several years and never had one issue. Would not take our Etta Faye anywhere else!

Emma and her crew take good care of my girl when I can't take her with me. I believe they feel the same about animals as I do: they're better than all of us and deserve more than we can give..

They are constantly busy tending dogs and cleaning. A bit out of the way but animals seem well cared for and naturally ready to go home. They have no stress from boarding. I'll take the dogs back for boarding whenever needed.

We showed up unexpectedly because we needed a place to board our puppies for 2 nights. The atmosphere in the office was great, Emma greeted us with the biggest smile ever and paid attention to every single request we had for Cosito and Bella.She even offered a tour throughout the facility but we were so pleased with what we saw at first that we decided not to and that it was gonna be the right place for our pups!NO REGRETS AT ALL! Today I went to pick my pups up and what an amazing experience.I got there and my pups didn’t want to run away!!! It means the world to me to see them happy and stress free!I really want to thank y’all for being so amazing and treating our pups like if they were at home. I have no words to express my gratitude!I would definitely be coming back! (Or should I say WE? 🤣😆)

We recently boarded our 3 dogs at WCK. Our mixed Lab and Aussie are both a year old. Our mixed breed terrier is over 11. We were very worried about boarding the 2 young dogs since we've not left them before. The last time we boarded our older dog at a vet in another city, she was traumatized when we picked her up.My daughter and I decided to visit World Class Kennels to check out the staff and facilities before making a decision on where to board. We were given a tour of the facilities and were explained the different options. It was clean and properly maintained. We came away from the visit with complete confidence in this facility to house our pets.There were no issues the day we dropped off our 'babies' and were greeted by a professional well prepared staff. When we returned from our trip, each of our dogs were clean and well groomed. The entire process was excellent and reasonably priced. I highly recommend World Class Kennels and will use them again in the future.W. Turner

We had a great experience here. I showed up unannounced for a tour and they had no problem accommodating me. I boarded my senior pup here for a few nights and she appeared to be well cared for. It is a longer drive to bring her here, but it’s worth it. The boarding facilities in Bham are busy and cater to the younger pups and doggie day care. My senior girl can’t do either so she doesn’t get the care I would like. World Class Kennels is on a farm and it’s very relaxing. All the pups receive the same attention regardless of age. We will definitely be board here again.

I have used World Class Kennels for over a decade. The staff really cares about your animals like their own. They even moved our dogs inside on their own because they thought our climber might try to get out of an outside enclosure (he would have still been contained inside the facility, but they didn't want him to get injured or anxious). I can't say enough good things about this place. There rates are fantastic, and I've never had any issues. Kudos to World Class Kennels!

Both my 45 pound female Aussiedoodle and and male cat have stayed with this kennel for a week twice in the last year. The dog kennels are large and very, very clean and the cat had a 3 story condo. The staff is very easy to work with and actually helped me get my dog into an obedience class at the kennel. My pets will always stay here when I cannot take them with me. It’s very nice to have a great place to take care of my fur babies and not worry about their care. Highly recommend you do the same.

I was very impressed with this place. I love that the dogs have access to outside at all times. I also like the fact that they have fresh water all the time. I was originally going to board my dog at the vet's boarding house that was $5 a night cheaper, but they are closed 3 days a week and I was going to be forced to leave her there twice as long because of their hours (or lack of). I didn't mind paying the extra when I saw the difference in the facilities and realized I would get my four legged friend back sooner. I would definitely recommend this place and I will use it again.

They go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel at home. They even sent my wife pictures of our fur babies to ease her mind. They get play time and people time and anything extra you may want to add on to your stay package such as baths, nail trimming, or even extra play time. I HIGHLY recommend this place for your pets.

We have used this great kennel for trips in situations where we were gone as much as 10 days. We had pickup and deliver service, and they were always at our home as early in the morning as we needed. The most important thing is our little mini dachshund always comes home healthy and happy, even though, of course, she would probably have preferred we stay home with her. We will always want to be able to board our loving little dog with World Class Kennels.

This place is so great!! They are so gear with all of the animals they board and they are so clean!! When you walk in, it has the freshest, cleanest smell. Oh, and last but not least, they have VIP kennels that are decorated and was hand painted!!! You must check this place out and if you are going on vacation, I insist you take your pets to World Class Kennels!!!! Emma and Shane are the best!!!!

We boarded our 7 year old German Shepard with WCK for the weekend. We dropped him off Thursday afternoon and we were so impressed with the staff. They were helpful and so kind. Our big fur baby has some hip problems and separation issues, but the staff was kind and understanding.We never felt like they were hiding anything. We got to see where he'd be staying. It was inside with outside access, warm, had fresh water, a raised bed, and so clean. We picked him up Sunday afternoon and were met with a super nice staff. His kennel was clean and he smelled so good. (They gave him a bath) WCK has us hooked. I love that he has room to move around with the option of inside or outside. We can go on vacation and not have to worry about his care. Thank you for taking such good care of our big baby.🐕

They took the most amazing care of my 2 babies this weekend. One of my pups is really hard to care for as he doesn't trust new people. They went above & beyond spending extra time with him to gain his trust. They even sent me a video to show me how well he was doing to ease my mind while I was out of town as they knew I was very worried about him. I so appreciate the care they took of my pups & I know I can completely trust them to care for my pups in the future.

WCK takes such good care of our pups while we are away! They love the indooor/outdoor kennel and the play yards and especially the people. I completely trust them with my dogs (my babies) and they do such a nice job caring for them. The facility is always super clean and organized. I 100% would recommend them to all my friends and family. We also love the Pet Taxi option for when our schedules are busy.

I have been using World Class Kennel for ten years and always been happy with the treatment of my dogs. Emma and her staff are great and very caring. The dog runs are roomy and always very clean.They keep in touch with my Vet and they are dilligent about keeping sick or unvacinated animals out. I have complete confidence in WCK.

I boarded 2 of my pups at World Class Kennels and couldn't have been happier! The facilities were very clean and nice, and the staff was very kind and helpful and you can tell they love what they do. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

This is truly a World Class Kennel! The new owner is amazing and the existing team members are exceptional, especially Shane! WCK always use exemplary professionalism and kindness when dealing with you and your pet. It is so worth it, if you love your pet!!

Great people at WCK. Our Terrier loves the fact that she can either stay inside or go through the vinyl door out to her run. I think she prefers out in the run.....she almost always comes home hoarse. One of the last times we called and said we were on our way to pick her up she was in the office on the owners lap waiting for us.

A BETTER KENNEL EXPERIENCE WITH PEACE OF MIND. Our two mini-schnoodles shared a large indooor/outdoor covered and partitioned run several times over the last two years, including 3 week stays in September 2018 and 2019. Each time, I walked them to their indoor kennel, noting the facility was clean and devoid of harsh chemical smells. They did terrific during their stays. I consider WCK a much better kennel experience because it gives our dogs more room to move/exercise and freedom to go outside whenever they desire, especially to meet "new arrivals",. Emma bathed and groomed them, doing a better job than other groomers we have used (and there have been a few), especially on their nails. While it would be nice to see our pups via CC internet TV, as some other kennels provide, we have come to trust the staff of WKC with their well being. WCK is a little out of the way from BHM (Harpersville) if you are not traveling Hwy 280 towards Auburn/Opelika, but their Pet Taxi service (for additional cost) solves that problem, and the additional peace of mind WKC delivers is well worth a minor travel inconvenience.

My dog has stayed here a couple of times. The kennels are clean, had plenty of room for my dog and the staff are helpful and polite.We'll definitely use them again.

WCK is an AMAZING kennel with loving and amazing staff. They will pamper the heck out of your animals. I have always been hesitant to use kennels, but Emma and her staff have shattered that thought for me. Please give them a try!!

WCK has always been there for me and my fur babies. During several family emergencies they were always willing to work with me on everything. And it was such a relief to know my babies would get the best of care while I couldn't be there. Emma and Shane are life savers and you couldn't ask for a better facility!

WCK is our kennel of choice to take care of our Fur Baby. I trust the owner and staff. I believe them to be very professional and caring. I appreciate the freedom my baby's ability to choose between being inside or outside of her enclosure. The facility has been everything she needs. In addition, in case of emergencies, WCK has always been available for us on short notice as well as when occasional last-minute travel plans occur. I recommend WCK for the care of your Fur Babies.

World Class Kennels is the BEST boarding facility in the Birmingham area. The staff is very helpful and they treat your dog like it was their own. I highly recomend World Class Kennels.

The owner/staff at World Class Kennel truly care for your pets. WKC even went above and beyond when my family experienced a hardship due to a house fire. They looked after my pup Linc and really took him in while we were out of our home. They even went as far as making special accommodations for us to visit and play with Linc while we were displaced. WKC is truly an asset to any dog owner in Shelby/Talladega County. They have helped turn a tragedy into a summer-like day camp for Linc. I am so grateful for them. I highly recommend to any dog owner who is looking to board, pet-sit, groom, or train their pup.

Our dog is always clean and happy when we pick her up. They even sent a picture of her with balloons home after new years. They will play ball with them and I don't have to worry about her getting loose, she's a runner!

WCK is just the best place. Everyone there are friendly, kind and really care for the dogs. The facility is always clean. I couldn’t be more pleased with a place to leave my fur baby.
