Oberbölchen near Basel - Dog Boarding "Triple-s" - anyone used them before?

Hello All,
I was planning to leave my dog at Triple-S (http://triple-s.ch/) while we go on vacation for 10 days. Being new-ish here, I don't know enough people to get word of mouth recommendation for pet sitting/boarding.

We normally try to find a place that doesn't crate dogs except for the night. At this place dogs get to play in a large open area all day and sleep in individual crates at night - which is just what we'd like for our dog.
Has anyone used this place and have any feedback on it? Or perhaps someone you know used it and either loved or hated it?
I am in Zurich, but did not see any similar places listed for Zurich area, however I don't understand German so this limits my online search. Thanks for your help! Danke!

I visited once to check out the kennels and assess their service.

*** Disclaimer ****

This was 7 or 8 years ago.

I do have an ever so slight tendency to be just the tiniest bit OTT when it comes to my mutts.

*****

Their set up, while fine for many dogs, would not have been appropriate for my mad-as-a-box-of-frogs psycho-collie.

When we visited we first had a chat with someone there (Not the owner, IIRC - I'm not sure who I spoke with...) to discuss my dogs, their needs, their characters and behavior, any problems/issues etc., as well as my expectations. I was quite frank about my collie; the terrors of his past still haunted him, and he needed careful handling. The person I spoke to seemed rather dismissive of my concerns - and that left me feeling uncomfortable.

In the end, I decided it was not the right solution for my dogs.

But you really should go and check out the place yourself, talk to the people in charge, talk to the staff, and see if you think it will meet your own dog's needs. I remember once comparing notes with another dog owner who used them, and this person was quite happy.

----
Instead of kennels, I have a dog sitter who moves into our house to care for my dogs while we are away. I've known her for many years now, and she always does a wonderful job with my collection of misfit mutts.

If you are looking for that kind of solution, I can pass along the contact details.
