24. No state or county licensing does not mean no licensing/certifications

Yes it would be good if every jurisdiction had certifications but there are other options. I would not leave my dog at a boarding facility just based on the owner's word alone. Good facilities will also have some kind of customer evaluation system and provide contact information for references so that you can check them out.
